He was theatric lover, and she didn't
like hi. style little bit.
He was constant in his devotion, how
ever, and that made matters worse.
She had tried gentle means to gst rid of
him, but he had disregarded them with
painful persistency.
In this moment of her desperation he
felt it incumbent upon him to propos e
to her. as men under similar circumstances
often do.
Which they wouldn't if they had any
sense at all.
''Dear one, he exclaimed, hurting him
self tragically at her feet, 81 love you!
My life is yours. Will you take it ?"
She did not look like a murderess.
"Mr. Singleton she responded, with
calm determination, 81 will.
He gazed at her rapturously.
Don't do that" she begged, drawing
back from him in horror. 81 have taken

revealed, and he removed himself with

HURD HUSTLED HIMSELF.
A Sioux City Man Who is Giving the

A Sioux City Man Who is Giving the
Courts Much business.
SIOUX CITY. July 1s.-W. Fl. Hurd,
the merchant of Climbing Hill, who is
resting under accusations by his wife
and step-danghter, is furnishing a good
deal of business for the Woodbury.
county justices just now. He was
arrested for the fourth time just as he
was starting for visit in the east and
he was arrested again before getting
away. Heretofore he had been under
bonds amounting to 81, 400, but the
prosecution wanted larger bonds for
fear he would get away and never
return for trial. Warrants were sworn
out in West Fork township making
new charges against him, but they
were finally dropped and new cases
commenced IN Sioux City. Its believed
that Hurd's enemies desire to get him
out into the country again for the
purpose of doing harm to him, and
there is a bitter fezling growing up
regarding the matter. The committee
of citizens of Climbing Hill which
organized to aid Mrs. Hurd have
employed Benz Baker, ex-Unlted
States district attorney, of Omaha, to
assist in the prosecution. Hurd gave
bonds in the sum of $1,000 and disap-
peared. 1t is believed he will never
return, as he would probably be con
victed or lynched.

HANKEYE MENTION
LUCKY JOHN WILMER.
Got $4,000 worth OF Iowa Land for
just SIS.

just SIS.
Dies MONIES, July 1s.--John E.,
Wilmer, deputy sheriff, has secured
100 acres Of land in AllamalSee county
under an original homestead entry
made at the land office, and all the
place cost him was sis, the usual fee
for filing on the land. The land is
under cultivation and has been for
twenty years. 1t is on the Mississippi
RIVER bottoms, not more than four
miles distant from the river and about
the same distance from two railroad
towns, and is worth at least $4,000. A
man who has been interested in the
contest for piece of land in the west
part of the city in looking over the
records found that two certificates had
been issued for the same tract to the
same man, and told Wilmer of it, He
investigated and found that in 1S4T the
land was entered by an original settler
under the old homestead laws, but
that the entry was an error on the part
of the clerks in the Office, as he had
taken and was living on another piece
of land. In 1861 the settler discovered
the mistake and was permitted to COR
rect his entry This left the title to
the piece originally entered with the
government, and no one seems TO have
discovered it until recently The land
has been occupied all the time and it
is presumed that some one bought it at
a tax sale and thought they had good
title. On April 10, Wilmer called at
the land Office and made demand to
be permitted to enter the land and
rendered the fees of SIS The
register and receiver doubted his
right to enter it and refused to permit
the entry to be made until they could
look up the records. An inspection of
the records seemed to satisfy them
that the land was subject to entry, but
they preferred to have the department
at Washington look into the
matter and forwarded the papers to |
them. They have just been returned
with decision to the effect that the
land was subject to entry and Wilmer
made his original homestead entry.

SOUTH CHICAGO BooDLIN0.
Money Illegally Paid Out Of the Treas

ury.
CHICAGO, July 1s.-Attorney Gibbs,
representing the South Town board,
has been instructed to begin action
against the bondsmen of ex-Supervisor
Edward j Leiendecker, to recover
moneys alleged to have been illegally
paid out of the town treasury. This
action was taken at meeting of the
South Town board last night and the
outgrowth Of an investigation made
by Mr.. Gibbs and also by the attorneys
of the civic federation. The law says
that no moneys shall be paid out ex-
cept upon the order Of the auditing
board, and yet for the two years OF
1893 and 1894 there was no pretense OF
auditing any Of the claims presented
against the town, SO the attorneys
claim. Just how much has been il.
legally diverted from the treasury in
this way is not known, but will pro.
badly average over $4,000 year.

report of the special committee inves-
tigating the charges against II. G.
Miller, formerly alderman and at

before the contract was let and while
it was before him as alderman, and
that he got the position as manager
because of his connection with the.

report recommends that the council
cancel its contract with the company
and censure Miller. Final action has

The WORLD IN GENERAL
BRUTAL ASSAULT.
Ex-Premter Stambulof, of Bulgaria,
Seriously Injured.


Ex-Premier Stambuloff, OF Bulgaria,
Seriously Injured.
SOFIA, July TN. Stambuloff, ex-
premier of Bulgaria, was returning
home in his carriage from the Union
Club, accompanied by a colleague, NJ
Petchoff, when they We're attacked by
four persons armed with revolvers and
knives. M. Stambuloff received several
wounds in the head, asrwell as having
both hands terribly cut. His condition
is serious. nj. Petchoff was also
stabbed, though not seriously. NJ
Stambuloff was taken to his home and
the doctors were compelled TO amputate
both OF his hands, and he may possibly
die. The outrage is believed to be the
personal vengeance of persons who
suffered during his regime as premier.
SOFIA, July 17-The condition of ex-
Premier Stambuloff, who was recently
murderously assaulted. is such as to
give slight hopes that he may yet re-
sword cuts in his head and one eye has
been destroyed. Although the attempt
to murder him was made on a busy
street at noon, no one came to his as
sistance. Everybody was convinced
that the police We're in the plot to as
sassinate him. Five policemen were
standing near, and made no attempt to
interfere, bur stopped one of STAN
re ,x-h oh Of
the assassins. M. StambuloH has made
a statement to the public prosecutor
who has ordered the arrest of
Tufektchieff, who was formally
charged with the murder of NJ. Belt
chef, the Bulgarian minister of
finance who was assassinated in March.
1891, while in company with M. Siam
bnloff. Nine. Beltchef, it will be re-
called, was induced to believe that M,
Stambulotf was the murderer of her
husband and warrant was issued,
but never executed, for his arrest. A
man who Witnessed Stambuloff's coach
man pursue the assassin says he saw
policeman because of the latter's refusal
to give up the revolver with which he
was chasing the criminals and to whom
the policemen was paying no at
tention.
SOFIA. July 19.-Ex-Premier Siam
buloff, who was assassinated in the
street, is dead from the terrible wounds
he received at the hands of his assail-
ants He was 40 years of age.
BERLIN, July 10. 1t is considered in
well informed circles here that the
scandalous attack on NJ. Stambuloffs
life has added another dark cloud to
horizon already sufficiently over
charged. The Franco-R Russian intrigues
in Abyssinia, the request made by the
czar's government to Japan for her
early withdrawal of troops from
Chinese territory, the reinforcement of
the Russian fleet in the far east and
the ever-growing arrogance of French
,hauvinism, are all factors rendering
.he present situation precarious.
