BILL Is MISSING.
The Anti-PoOI Room Bill is Lost or
Stolen.

st. Paul, April B.-Senate File No.
13S. prohibiting pool selling in Min
nesota, has been mislaid, temporarily,
ut least. There are rumors that it
has been stolen. Had the bill become
a law by being signed by the gov
ernor. it would have meant a direct
loss of $4,000 TO the Twin City Jock
ey club, besides the amount which
future years would accrue from the
holding of running meetings at the
state fair grounds, through the selling
of pool privileges. If the bill is lost
and cannot be presented to the gov
ernor by = o'clock tomorrow ii will
not become a law, and the jockey club
will be entitled to sell pools as it has
done in the past. The result will be
that there will be at least two more
seasons Of summer racing at the state
fair grounds. with pool selling priv
ileges under the direction of the Twin
City Jockey club.
Senate File No. 13S passed the
house of representatives Of the state
legislature after a lOng-COntinued
struggle on the part of its friends and
the opposition last Saturday after
noon 1t was sent up to the govern
or office at 1:35 Tuesday afternoon.
After receiving a bill the governor has
three days time in which to sign it.
If it is not signed by the HE eXecu-
tive of the state inside of that time
it does not become a law: is inopera-
| tive. and all the work and worry OF
it's friends will have to he in vain.
But all the work and worry Of those
opposed to it will not have been in
vain. They will have much reason to
be happy. for its loss in tie governors
office will be as much of a victory to
them as it's dc.eat would have been
in the Legislature.
A reporter was Informed at IL
O'Clock last evening that the oiflclalS
in the governors office, while looking
for the bill yesterday afternoon. a
been unable to find it. o Clough
being in Minneapolis the reporter was
unable to interview him last evening,
but as the next best authority on
such a subject, his private secretary,
TamS BiXby, was seen.
Mr.. BiXby is inclined to scout the
idea that the bill is lost or has been
stolen. despite the fact that a re-
porter was informed yesterday that
an offer Of $1,000 had been made TO a
certain person To steal the bill before
the governor had signed it.

DECISIONS BY MITCHELL.
The Minnesota Supreme Court De-
Cides Several Cases.

Cides seyer8l cases.
ST. Paul, April 27.-JudSe Mitchell
handed down several decisions in the
supreme court to-day. In five of the
cases the lower courts were sustained
and in the other two they were re-
verSed. The case of Wells Truman
VS.. George A. and John :. PillSbury
ct al. establishes the validity Of trans
ferS of land under powers of attorney
executed before the title TO such land
is acquired. In the case under con
sideration a power of attorney was
executed authorizing the attorney to
sell and convey lands that were there
after acquired under the soldiers ad-
ditiOnal homestead act. The supreme
court upheld the lower court in hold
ing that such authority exists. In the
Carver county liquor license case the
court holds that 1T is discretionary
with the boards of county commits
siOners to grant or refuse Il license to
sell intoxicating liquors, and that such
boards cannot be controlled or inter
fered with by mandamus proceedings.
In the Clay county tax case against
the Minneapolis q Northern Elevator
company it is held that the property
of q purchaser must be taxed where
his business is carried on, that is,
where it is kept for sale, and that the
buying Of property in another town
or district would not lender 1t assess
able at the place of purchase.

FRACTIOUS MILICIAMEN
Guilty OF InsubOrdfnatiOn and As
snuIt ON N Sergeant.

Sioux Falls, S. d.. April %. - If a
certain member of Company F, s. d..
n. c., located at Aberdeen, is not pun
ished severely it will most likely be
because the state has not enough
money on hand to call a court martial
and there is no appropriation availa-
BILE. A sergeant and a squad was sent
out to bring ar absentee to the
armOry, and they did it. Not, how
ever. without considerable trouble,
for the angry member not only re-
fused to 60. but abused his sergeant
and assaulted him. At the armOry
the captive continued his wordy abuse
of his superior officers, an offense
which is punishable by a fine and i'm
prisonment in the county Jail, or even
in the ~penitentiary. But as was men
toned. the offender will likely get
off with a dishonoiable discharge, as
no regular court martial cal be con
yened.

Washington. April 21.-Nicaragua's
,os, hone of assistance from the Unit
ad states in her controversy with
Great Britain to prevent the seizure
If Corinto vanished this afternoon.
Dr. Guzman, the N~icaraguan minister,
who had been waiting with intense
anxiety to see Secretary Gresham,
was finally successful about 3 CLOCK
when the secretary came into the de-
nartment from the White House.
where he had been in consultation
with President Cleveland, presumably
on the same subject.
The interview was very short. In
6va minutes the minister emerged
from the secretary's office, looking
very depressed. He refused 10 say n
word as to what had taken place, but
r. can be stated that the secretary
gave him to understand very clearly
that the United States would not in
tarfere in the case as it stands. so
thare are now three courses open TO
Nicaragua. namely, to pay the inden-
nifty: TO permit the occupation or
Corinto. or to fight, and the next
twelve hours must find the choice de-
cIa rcd. for the British troops are TO
land at daybreak tomorrow at Cor
into.
As already stated in the Associated
prass DISPATCHES. the position taken
Inv tbe president in this matter is that
tba dispute is one entaely between
Great Britain and Nicaragua, in which
tho United States has no call TO i'll
tnrrare unless there should be com
mittnd some acts injurious to Amer
loan interests In Nicaragua, or there
should be shown a disposition by
Great Britain to acquire N~icaraguan
territory. on each of these points
q ia vorable assurance has been had
from Great Britain. and it is said all
that can now be done is to watch the
course Of events.
Advices received here to-day say
that Vice Admiral Stevenson. in COM
mand of the British fleet at COrintO.
has given Nicaragua detailed infOrma-
ton as TO the time and circumstances
OF the proposed landing of British
troops. The admiral will consider the
time of grace 10 u until II o'clock
midnight tonight. He will not begin
landing troops during the night. He
fixes 6 o'clock tomorrow morning as
the precise time when the British
forces will move.

this county, was brought here to-
day, charged with numbering he in
FAINT babe of his daughter. Mabel
Andrus Clark. He was arraigned be-
fore County Judge OdeTl and his ex-
animation adjourned until May /.
The story of the crime, as reported
by his daughter, who made the com
plant. is that on April %. 1892, when
she was but seventeen years old, she
gave birth to an Legitimate child ut
her fathers home. Immediately af-
ter its birth, it is alleged. he took the
child from its mothers side and
choked it to death on the bed. In the
house at the time, 1t is said, there
were three small children and Ed
ward Andrus, the twenty-one-year-old
son of Alvah. Andrus had previously
sent some of his family away to
friends at Augusta, about ten miles
distant. In spite of me girls pleas to
spare the life of the Child, it was
strangled and the body was buried
pear the barn. and the father threat
ened that the girl would be hung ii
she Yer told about the affair.
District Attorney Lkern ana tnuer
Sheriff Frederickson visited the prem
Uses yesterday and made an unsuc-
SeSSful search for the child'S body.
Edward Andrus, the son, is now a
student at Lawrence university at
Appleton. this state, where he is
studying for the ministry. The sheriff
has gone there to arrest him as an
accessory to his fathers crime. The
elder Andrus is nov in Jail here. The
son has borne a good reputation.
Appleton. Wis, April %. - Edwin
Andrus left Appleton this morning IN
company with a stranger. who is
supposed to have been an officer. The
man called very early at the house OF
Janitor Carpenter, Of Lawrence uni
versity, where Andrus has a room.
If he was arrested no n in Apple
ton knows anything about 1t. He
left word that he was going home
and would be gone three or four days.
President Plantz and other officers OF
Lawrence university, where Edwin
Andrus has been a student for the
past five years, were greatly shocked
to learn that he was under suspicion
Of being an accessory in the crime.
