A Duluth Nationalist's Opinion

4
TO the Editor of The Irish Standard.
Speaking as an old Fenian, who trRv
eled x5een thousand miles to keep hi
word to be in Ireland when she made al
effort for her independence, and like 81
very many of the old style of nationalist
met with loss, prison and suffering,
think J. may be permitted to offer al
opinion on the present movement in Ire
land. From experience, bslieve it is {
wise one, and that Redmond is vai1
man who would rather be leader, save
the mark, against Ireland than be fol
lower in her ranks. He is certainly {
very unskillful politician aud bad hand
Ter of mon. "Why do think so?" Lately
I have become very suspicious of him
and have watched his career. He has
very often tried to put impadiments il
the way Of the Gladstone government
that have filled the mouths of Tories
Unionists and Lords with argumentl
against Home Rule. He has knowingly
I believe, closed the doors against the
political prisoners, in his amnesty mo
tion, ell for the purpose Of catching the
Fenian votes of which he never had the
courage to be one. He has abused Mr.
Morley, the one who, next to Mr., Glad
stone, has done and is trying to do some
thing for Ireland against the folio wins
odds, namely: Old prejudices OF party
the union split, Tory influence and great
wealth, House OF Lords and their roya
influence and these nine leaders of Tooley
street, who haven't half tho respect fo1
the name of Mr.. Parnell that those who
differ lately with him have. His last
motion calling on the government to re-
sign was, think, the last card he will bt
ever lot play. 1t was decided act o.
treason. I hope the people at home vii
put those people out Of the way of doing
further damage to the cause OF IRELAND
at the next election. Mr.. Parnell vii
have his name in history when these so
called Parnellites are forgotten.

A. O. H. Life Insurance.

Assessment Nos. SO, SO and 100 have
just been issued by State Secretary
John A. O'Shaughnessy. The record
of only 100 deaths since the 0: ganizatio
of the fund in 1885 is remarkably low,
and the cost of insurance has been ex.
ceedingly light, averaging about Sc per
year, for nearly $1,000, the amount paid
on assessment OF being 1851. That the
full amount OF $1,000 will be paid is a
certainty within 6 months.

The exact time al which darkness gives

was knocked down by q locomo-

past six o'clock in the morning and seri-
ously injured. The engine did not dis.

accident at 6:54o'clock. Several astrono-
mers and other experts testified that half
an hour before sunrise it is as dark as at
any time OF night. From that time until
sunrise light comes SO slowly that the
punt of half light is reached only seven
minutes before sunrise. During the last
seven minutes before dawn light comes
very rapidly until the full day breaks.
The plaintiffs lawyer claimed, therefore,

four minutes before sunrise, it was pitch

twenty five thousand dollkrs in her favor.

A MIRACULOUS ESCAPE,
Two Negroes Swept Through
an Underground River and
Escape Death.
They We're Fishing and Falling Into
the River We're Carried Half
Mile.

TALLAHASSEE, FLA, June 1O.-Word
comes from the lower end of the county OF
the miraculous escape OF two negro fisher
men from horrible death. In that Sec
ton there is creek that disappears in the
ground, flows under high mound for a
distance of over half mile and then re-
appears with added force and volume.
This is great fishing place and scores OF
negroes are found casting their lines at
the upper end of the tunnel.
Last week, while party of twelve were
there, two of them, Nathan Brooks and
Joseph Gillen, fell into the water and were
almost instantly whirled into the under
ground creek by the swift current Their
horrified companions tried to rescue them,
but in vain, and they were swept away
uttering loud screams of horror and terror.
The party hastily rushed to the lower
end of the land where the creek reappears
Shortly afterward both men shot through,
feebly struggling in the swift current and
showing slight signs of life Several men
plunged in and brought them to shore,
and they were worked over for half an
hour before they were out of danger.
This is the first time that such an escape
has been made, as many lives have been
lost in the place.

A Search Of His Clothing Rewarded
by the Finding Of Bogus
Money.

SANLUIS OBISPO, Call, June 10.-Sam
Sortan while intoxicated became involved
in barroom row this afternoon and was
Robert Pruitt. When arrested he was
fourishing pistol
On Sortan's person was found about $3.50
in counterfeit half-dollar pieces. Sortan
claims to have obtained the money in ex-
change for gold dust, but is too drunk to
make an intelligent statement. Ex-Sheriff
Mcleod says he knew Sortan well about
fifteen years ago, when he was acting as
chairman with party of Government sur
veyors. His character was considered
good.
About four weeks ago Sortan, with a
man named Ed Wilson, arrived from
Humboldt County and left for the La
panza gold mines. They returned and
registered at the Commercial Hotel on
June 5. Wilson has been arrested on sus-
picion, but refuses to make statement
These arrests following that of Howard,
captured Saturday with counterfeiting
molds on his person and complete set of
burglar tools locked in his wagon, lead the
officers to believe that they have captured
part of an organized band of counter
feiters. City Marshal Cook is working
actively on the case, and important de-
velopments are expected.
M. ]. Mcbride, the liveryman from
whom Howard hired the horse and wagon
in San Francisco on May o. arrived here
this evening and positively identified How

the end of two days he was brought be-
fore military court, examined and found
eligible for service in the German army
His papers were taken from him and he
was sentenced to six weeks in prison. at
the end of which time he might begin a
three years term in the army.
David Greismar of New York, who ac-
companied Rothschild, employed a law
yer, who laid the facts before the mill
tary authorities, with the result that the
sentence was changed to a fine of 500
marks, and the papers were forwarded to
the War Department at Berlin, which will
decide whether Rothschild shall serve his
army term.
Rothschild paid the fine, and pending
the decision OF the War Department has
gone to Switzerland, where he now
is. Davis Rothschild will communicate
at once with the State Department IN
Washington regarding the matter. One
of the papers taken from Rothschild and
forwarded to Berlin was a regular pass
port of the United States, bearing the
signature of Secretary Gresham.

WORK OF OREGON TRAMPS
IncendiarieS Destroy All the
Buildings on Two Large
Ranches.
Sixteen Hundred Merino Bucks Gre
mated in One of the Burning
Structures.

PENDLETON, Or, June 10.-A fire en-.
failing a loss of $4,000 occurred early this
morning at Pilot Rock, eighteen miles
from Pendleton, on the big sheep ranch OF
Charles Cunningham, the most extensive
wool-grower of the inland empire. All the
ranch buildings excepting one wool barn
were destroyed.
Mr.. Cunningham has two ranches sew
eral miles apart and the fire broke ont
about the same hour on both ranches. At
the Pilot Rock ranch at o'clock this
morning the employees saw two masked
men on horseback leave the vicinity of the
ranchhouse and so down the canyon in
the direction of the other ranch. Soon
flames burst out of dozen places. 1t was
found kerosene had been poured along a
long line of buildings. The large frame
house, together with other extensive sheds
and barns, was consumed inside half an
hour.
In one shed were 1900 thoroughbred me-
rino bucks, the choicest from Cunning
hams herds of $4,000 sheep. These were
insured on basis of $40 per head, making
this loss $500 and the total loss over
$4,000.
The circumstances of the second fire also
indicate incendiarism. The loss there is
about $4,000. The whole country is stirred
up and the citizens are determined to run
down the scoundrels. This is the fourth
fire on the Cunningham ranches and there
have been others at other places.

ENTICED AWAY A CREW.
That Is the Charge Made
Against the Schooner
Boring Sea.
THE CULPRIT TO BE SIZED.
Threats Of Desperate Retaliation
Made by the Canadian
SealerS.

VICTORIA. B. c. June 10.-The Domin-
ion Government revenue cutter Quadra
has been dispatched to the west coast to
seize the American schooner Boring Sea.
This schooner put in on the west coast of
the island, enticed away the Indian crew
of the Canadian schooner Triumph under
promise of better pay, and put to sea. The
crew of the Triumph made the largest seal
catch last year and is an exceptionally
good one.
1t is against the law of Canada to entice
away crew that has signed articles on an
other vessel, and besides the Boring Sea
infringed on the custom law by calling at
west coast ports without reporting to Vic
toria, there being no port of entry on the
west coast. Collector OF Customs Milne
says:
81 sent instructions to Captain Walbran
of the revenue cutter Quadra to inquire
into the case and, if they are as stated, to
seize the schooner. We must teach
schooners to respect the law of the land.
Neither the Boring Sea nor any other
foreign vessel can put into a
Canadian port that is not a port
of entry and leave again when she
chooses, without saying anything of the
illegal inducing of the aborigines to de-
sert their schooner and repudiate their
articles. You may depend that if she is
caught no halfway measures will be taken.
There are rumors that Nitinat is not the
only base of operations, and that the
schooner Boring Sea has companions in
her illegal doings."
The sealers are greatly incensed. A
prominent sealer said: eff the American
boats commence any of these tricks they
will find that we will stay with them in
the game. We will meet them at Una
laska and perhaps in the open. We can
retaliate and if we start fight we will not
be the first to show the white feather"
Four letters have been received from the
Indians saying they were going to embark
on the Boring Sea, the master of which
schooner offered to pay them Sc a skin and
give each man bounty of $50. This mu-
nificent offer was too much to resist, not
withstanding they had signed with the
Triumpb

HENEY TAKEN TO CARSON,
ProClaimS His Innocence of
Any Connection With
the Mint Steal.
The Suspect Denies Having Ever
Confessed That He Sold the
Stolen Bullion.

RENO, New, June 10.-United States
Marshal Humphrey arrived this evening,
having in charge James T. Heney, arrested
at Leadville, Colo, Friday, for completely
in the Carson mint stealings. Heney ap-
peared confident and said he was not
afraid to come back to Nevada.
To Gazette reporter Heney said he had
nothing to say to reporters or detectives,
but said all that Marshal Israel had said
about his admitting taking the bullion and
that he had disposed of $4,000 worth OF
stolen bullion was untrue; that Israel was
angry because he did not give him a
chance to arrest him, and thereby make a
$500 fee. He claims to have said nothing
whatever about the stolen bullion, but
simply proclaimed his innocence of con-
nection with the Carson mint robbery.
Heney says he is not afraid to stand trial
After remaining in Reno about one hour,
In company with his wife, who came down
from Carson by private conveyance this
afternoon to meet him, Heney and Deputy
Marshal Dennis were driven to Carson.

SONOMA LAND FRAUDS.
The Famous Rancho Roblar
Figures in the Santa
Rosa Courts.
Another Victim Who Purchased =
Mythical Interest From the
Notorious Allen.

SANTA ROSA, CAL, June 1O.-The
famous old Rancho Roblar, near Petaluma,
is figuring in the courts here again by rea-
son of the operation of one Allen, a cleri-
cal appearing land-dealer, who, with his
partners, have so often stirred up prop
erty-owners in Sonoma County.
1t is claimed that Allen induced a
woman named Lucy Kelly to pay $500 for
a mythical interest in the rancho. When
she tried to get an advance on her interest
she learned. SO she claims, that she had
been badly duped. Allen is the same man
who, with mythical person, Louis Sam
uels, dealt quite extensively in bogus in
terests in old ranches many years, to the
mourning of a number of parties who had
business relations with them.
Suit has been brought by Mrs. Kelly to
recover her money.

New Mexico has population of $780,

sheep-raising State in the country. 1t has,
therefore, been customary for our ranch
men to send their cattle to Nebraska and
Kansas to be fattened. But system of
drainage has been devised in the Peace
Valleywhich will enable them to fatten

TRAGEDY IN A SALOON.
Drinks to the Health of His
Friends and Then Shoots
Himself.
M0URNED BY THE MASSES
He Was Known to Capital City
LaborerS as the Poor Mans
Friend.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, June 10.-Henry
F. Dillman, ex-Chief of Police of this city,
committed suicide at 6:15 o'clock this
evening by shooting himself through the
head with ball from a 44-caliber revolver.
For some time past Dillman has been
afflicted with fits of an epileptic nature,
which produced temporary insanity, caus-
ing him to frequently threaten to end his
existence. He had been engaged in the
saloon business ever since he severed his
connection with the police department in
1885, and his saloon was directly across the
street from the police station.
This evening, when released from duty
by his bartender, a young man named
George CLARK, "Hank," as he was Familiarity
called, removed his apron and stepped out
side the bar. He seemed to be in excellent
spirits, and chatted pleasantly with several
persons who were present. One of them
invited Dillman to join him in drink.
The latter laughed and agreed, saying,
This is the last drink I will ever take"
He ordered glass of beer, and, lifting it to
his lips, said, Here's good-by, boys"
Dillman then walked behind the bar
and drew a revolver from his pocket,
and pulled the trigger. The cartridge
failed to explode. Dillman coolly removed
the defective cartridge and inserted an
other. Clark begged him to desist, but was
warned not to interfere.
"You have always been a good friend of
mine" said Dillman, 'but don't attempt
to come near me or I will take you with
me. l have fully made up my mind and
am going. Good-by, old friend" and
with these words he pressed the muzzle of
the revolver against his right temple and
pulled the trigger. The bullet crashed di-
rectly through his head from temple to
temple and passed through a glass door,
narrowly missing several persons who
were on the sidewalk
Dillman was born at st. Louis, Mo-, and
was married April II, 1870, in that city to
Lizzie Baiz. He came to Sacramento in
1875, and has resided here ever since. He
was probably the most popular man in
this city among the laboring classes, the
poor and the afflicted. He was known as
the poor mans friend and was never known
to refuse assistance to any applicant. Dur
ing the late strike Dillman espoused the
cause OF the strikers and rendered support
TO numerous families left destitute by their
fathers, brothers or husbands being thrown
out Of employment.
Dillman was past grand master of
Sacramento Lodge No. 2, 1. o. o. F., past
patriarch of Pacific Encampment, men,
Der of the Turn Verein and belonged to
Sumner Post, G. A. R., having served
through the war in the Fifth Missouri
Cavalry with distinction.
