Dannemora, n. Y, Feb. 12.-At Q: so
a. m. Tuesday in the death chamber at
the penitentiary bat" Shea was cleo
trocuted for the murder of Robert Ross
two years ago at Troy, N. Y. Shea dis
played much frmness and with his last
breath protested his innocence.
The autopsy on the body of Shea
showed diseased condition of the
lungs. tuberculosis had set in and he
could not have lived more than a few
months at the utmost. The following
letter from Shea was opened after The
execution:
ION the verge of death, desire to say
that do not think 1 had a fair trial. Elk
traordinary means were taken to convict
HE, and testimony given by Mr.. Lansing
was absolutely untrue. ! am sorry for

An inter> Jew was held Tuesday ale
noon with Convict John b. McGough,
who five weeks ago confessed thai he.
and not BAT" Shea, billed Robert Ross.
McG ough still insists that he was the
slayer and said: Il have made every
reparatioE possible, knowing that
killed Ross. In killing Shea, they have
killed an .rnocent man. am the man
who should have sat in that char.
McGough made his statement calmly
and without tremCr.
bartholomew Shea shot and killed Rob-
ert Ross on election day in the spring
of 1894 at Troy, N. Y. William and Robert
Ross were prominent republicans in Troy,
and had charge of the canvass of the ward
in which they lived. They became en-
gagged in a fight with Shea, John McGough
anc; a number of their friends. Shea was
arrested for the murder of Robert Ross
and McGough was placed under arrest
charged with assault in the first degree
upon William Ross. Shea was sentenced
to die last July and McGough was sem
fenced to 20 years in the penitentiary.
The case was carried to the court of APP
peals, where Shea was beaten upon the
unanimous verdict of the court. Shea was

personally with the governor to spare the

witnesses were issued.

NIankatO Mysteries.


Two strange disappearance have oc-
Cured at Mankato. One of these was
that of Emma Bucha, who had been
employed by Landlord Himmelman, as
cook at the City Hotel for a consider
able length of time. She had been
observed to act a little peculiarly, but
it was not until recently that it was
feared that any harm had come to her.
The peculiar feature of the case is
that Miss Bucha is known to have had
money in the banks, to the amount of
$500. This sum was not all that she
had saved from her earnings, for she
had also sent considerable sum of
money to her parents in Glencoe. She
held note for this. The police have
done some Investigating, but SO far
without finding trace of her. 1t IS
feared by those who have been ac-
quainted with the girl that in some way
she has become demented.
William Riarden has now been absent
for nearly a week, and fears are enter
tanned for his safety. twas discovered
recently that after he left home the
only article that could not be found
was his razor. and it was supposed that
he had taken it with him with suicidal
intent. Riarden some time ago mort
gagged team and some farming imple-
ments. These goods have since been
attached for debt, and it now appears
that they were the property of his wife,
who has taken steps to replevln them.

The Mile Laos Matter.

The Mile Laos lake settlers have
come to the conclusion that further
absolute dependence upon the congress
ional and senatorial delegations from
Minnesota is almost fruitless, and they
will engage st. Cloud lawyer to go to
Washington and urge upon the depart
ment of the interior the justice and
desirability of opening up the lands in
cluded within the old reservation set
Element. Under the present conditions
a man may locate on land on the reser-
walton, but he cannot obtain any title
to the land, for the reason that all APP
plications for land in this region are
rejected by the local land officers, act
ing, of course, under instructions from
the general land Office. The presence
of the Indians on the land is constant
source of menace to the settlers, who
have gone into the vicinity of the lake
and make improvements on their real
estate holdings.
