Further Developments in the Scan
danivian church tragedy in this city
lead to the belief that the Rev. fran
els Hermann is q man with a record OF
crime little less than the notorious
Holmes. His first wife died in EN-
gland under suspicious circumstances.
He was pastor of a Scandinavian
church at West Superior, Wis, in 1880
and 1891, and there married highly
respectable lady, who in less
than year died very sud-
denly with her two-weeks-old
baby. An inquest was held, but moth
ing beyond a suspicion of foul play
was elected. Hermann soon marrled
again, and came to Salt Lake in 1894
with his wife. Before long q BABY
was born, and the mother and child
died Suddenly under very suspicious
circumstances, few weeks after.
Then his acquaintance with MISS
Clawson commenced. and it is charged
in the complaint, which has been
sworn to by John Samson. member
of the church here, that he murdered
and cremated the body in the heating
furnace in the church basement.
He was engaged to marry Miss Sam
uelson in February of this year, but
she disappeared, and it is charged that.
he poisoned her after seducing her,
and carved up the body in the church
cellar.
AS far as yet discovered it is be-
ieved he has murdered seven persons
Miss CIawson came to Salt Lake from
Omaga seven years ago. She was a
native of Sweden and as far as known
had no relatives in this country, but
she had many friends here and was
considered by all as a very respectful BILE
girl.
Miss Samuelson was employed as
nursery governess in family here
and left her place to be marrIei to the
preacher. She has an aunt and other
relatives living here and was men,
Der of Hermann's church. The church
officials say that Hermann was sus--
pended recently for embezzling church
funds, confessed his guilt in that re-
gard and was waiting hearing before
the annual Methodist conference. He
was fine looking mau and very gen.
orally liked. He is represented as
having great liking for the study of
medicine, anatomy and kindred sub
jects, and often delivered disquisitions
on the human form.

WINTER WHEAT.
Exhaustive Reports from Severn Staten
of the Condition of the Growing Crop.


TOLEDO, O., May 22.-During the
past three days the grain firm of C. A
King & Co. have received 4,36S crop
reports from grain dealers and mil
lers. The present prospects for win
ter wheat are very favorable in Kan
sas and most of Michigan. Missouri
and Illinois have fair prospects. In
diana is growing worse, and promis es
less than three-quarters of an aver
age crop, owing mostly to the
hessian fly, which is also doing harm
in some sections of Michigan. Ohio
continues trifie more than half a
crop. Eight hundred and four of the
reports say the prospect now is excel
lent; 75s predict an average crop; 247 a
triie below an average; 405, three
quarters of a crop: Ats, two-thirds and
LOSS, half crop. Five hundred and
ninety say less than half a crop, and
come mostly from Ohio and Indiana.
The prospects average trifie worse
than two weeks ago. Recent rains
have been beneficial, but some Sec
tions still complain of drought. Kan
sas and Missouri show a slight i'm
provement Kansas suffered a little
from hot winds and hail. Missouri re-
ports some chinch bugs. Illinois and
Ohio show no material change. Illi-
nois has numerous chinch bugs, but
the outlook otherwise is favorable. In
diana has suffered materially from the
hessian fly and drouth, Ohio has had
very little insect damage.f Michigan
reported an excellent prospect until
few days ago, when some sections say
hesslan fly has caused material dam
age. Harvest promises to average
about ten days earlier than last year,
Judging from the present outlook.
Some think it will be two weeks, while
others doubt if it will be any ca rlier.
