Discarded Lovers Ended Three Lives
in Revenge

Discarded Lovers Ended Three Lives
in Revenge.
TACOMA, Wash, May 1S-In Beaver
Prairie, Clallam county, in the dense forest,
seventy miles from a telegraph Office, last
Tuesday, Charles Paul, of Wisconsin, killed
David McConchie and his wife, and then took
his own life. The tragedy happened at the
home Of the McConchies. Paul was dis
carded lover of Mrs. McConchie, who married
McConchie last fall while Paul was away.
AS soon as Paul learned of the marriage he
wrote letters to her swearing he would kill
her and her husband. Charles Terwillinger
was examining his bear traps on the shore
of the lake on Tuesday, and saw q note pinned
to the door Of deserted cabin, which gave
directions to look in certain place in the
house for a letter. This letter was addressed
to Christian Crossklaus, and said Paul had
gone to kill Mr.. and Mrs. McConchie after
which he would take his own life. A party
was formed, and, reaching the shore of the
lake opposite McConchie's house, they found
McConchies boat, and in it the dead body
of Paul. The body of Mrs. McConchie was
found on the floor of her home, her head near
ly severed from her body, and everything
showed that fearful struggle had taken place
between the woman and the man.

STATE LANDS STOLEN.
Part of the City of Chamberlain on
Government Property.


PIERRE, S. D., May 18.-For several years
rumors have been coming to state officials
that the town of Chamberlain extended onto
and occupied a tract of state land, and sew
eIal months ago o. G.. Jewett was employed
by the state to make thorough surveys and
find out what foundation there was to the
rumors.
Mr.. Jewett has been at work for several
months and has definitely located the corners
of the original government survey, and to-
day filed his report, which proves that fifty
four acres of section 16 is included in the
town, which was accomplished by changing
the lines and obliterating the original corners.
There is yet a balance of ifty-one acres of
school land left, which was plated as the
state addition to Chamberlain, while Maj.
Ruth was land commissioner.
The tract in question lies between the
state addition and the main street of Cham
berlain, and is in the heart Of the town and
valuable. The change in lines was easily
made on account of the wide variation in the
government survey of 1868, which was all very
bad work. 7s.e-,
The original town boomers probably made
$40 900 out of the tract and it is worth a
large sum to the state as it stands today.
There will be great deal of litigation on
account of the many owners OF lots In the
states tract, but the case will be pushed as
soon as the attorney general can secure the
necessary data.

CRoOKSTON, Minn.. May 1S.-The Red
Lake river is higher at this point than it has
ever been within the memory of man. A
hundred families have been compelled to va
cate their home in this part of the city and
in Jerome's addition. Two of the three wagon
bridges in the city are in imminent danger OF
being carried away. Two hundred men are
employed in dyking the river in Chase's ad-
dition, and the work is being pushed as rapid
ly as possible in the hope that the water may
be kept from overfowing that portion Of the
city. The effect Of the rainfall upon the crop
prospects is disastrous in the extreme. The
prospects of further wheat seeding very
poor, as the country is in many directions a

SECTION LINES AS HIGHWAYS.
Interesting Series of Suits Over the
Question Will Be Brought in
South Dakota.

YANKTON, S. D., May ia series of in
teresting ltigations is about to be commenced
by the South Dakota authorities to test the
validity of an act of the territorial legislature
of 1871 by which all section lines are declared
to be public highways, and the owners of
adjacent land required to throw them open
to the public as such. Until a short time
ago this law seems to have been overlooked,
the county commissioners making practice
of purchasing right of way along section lines
for use as roads. This expense and the cost
of opening the roads has been a considerable
item In the past. The Yankton county COM
mssioners recently stumbled on the old stat
ute authorizing them to appropriate the nee
essary land for the roads without recompens-
ing the owners and determined to enforce 1t.
The owners maintain that their patents from
the government embrace each certain num-
Der of acres from given points, and that as
no deduction is made for highways the state
has no right to confscate their land without
payment.
