here that Olson had committed Dy

Briggs house was without the knoWl-
edge of any one connected with Inc

mony. and the person who imperson-
ated the justice, calling himself Black:
was a man who had been chum OF

Cabinet Formed.

Rome, March lot was announced
last night that the Marquis di Rudini
had succeeded in forming a cabinet
with himself as premier and minister
of the interior, and Gen. Ricotti, min
lister of war. 1t developed later that
the formation of the cabinet had been
undertaken by Gen. Ricotti. King
Humbert conferred with Gen. Ricotti
and charged him with the formation
of a cabinet. The result was a cabinet
made up, as already cabled, Gen.
Ricotti yielding to the Marquis di
Rudini the premiership, and himself
assuming the portfolio of war, as in

Washington, March Ex-senator Mel
sou to-day introduced a joint resolution
declaring the so-called Mile Lac res

public land. Some time ago there was
printed a letter from the general land
office to Senator Nelson, defining the
status of this reservation, or, rather,
it's lack of status. 1t presents alto
gether an anomalous situation, and
Senator Nelson proposes to straighten
it out. Lands have been set aside for
the Mile Lac Indians on White Earth
reservation, but they decline to re-
move. There is comparatively little
of the reservation left unoccupied by

CHICAGO MYSTERY.
Bodies of an Old Man and q Child
Found in u Barrel


Chicago, March 10. - Carefully con-
cealed in a barrel and covered with 4
mass of old rags and cotton the dead
bodies of a gray-haired man and a
new born babe were found in an alley
III Hyde Park. In consequence the
police are working on what they cOp-
slider Il double murder. Only one Crew
IS III their possession, and on the dis
coVery of the identity of q woman, as
yet unknown to the police, depends
the possible solution Of the mystery.
Early this morning the office in
Rolstcn's Hyde Park morgue was
rung up on the telephone, and a wo-
man who declined to give either her
name or address, asked if the body Of
man had been found in Hyde Park.
The office attendant replied in the
negative and then questioned the wo-
man, but his best efforts failed to get
any information of decided charac-
ter. although she told the clerk she
was looking for man who was miss
ing. She was finally prevailed upon
to give his description, which she did
in minute detail She astonished the
morgue attendant by saying in con-
clusion that he would certainly learn
more about the case later on. -Four
hours later the barrel with it's CHASTITY
contents was discovered in the rear
of the house at 1929 Indiana avenue.
The body Of the man tailed i'll al
most every respect with the descrip-
ton furnished by the mysterious Wo-
man over the telephone wire, and the
police unhesitatingly connected her
with the case. In the barrel also was
the body of boy not over ten days
old.
J. A. Nurse, residing in Prairie ave-
nue., in the alley at the rear of his
home, discovered a barrel which
aroused his curiosity. Breaking open
the head of the receptacle he was hor-
rified upon seeing the hacked body of
an old man inside. 1t was entirely
nude and was frightfully mutilated.
Covering the corpse was q thick layer
Of cotton. The police were at once
notified and the barrel was removed
to the morguc.
The head and trunk gave every evil
dence of foul play, the skull showing
several deep wounds. On the left
forearm were tattooed five spots close
together There was nothing else to
give any clue to the mans identity.
After the several pieces of the body
had been lifted from the barrel the
body of the baby was found. 1t was
nude. save for a thin flannel shirt
and there were two marks on the side
of the head, apparently made with a
blunt instrument The body of the
| elder male was that Of a man be-
| tween SiXty-five and seventy years
| old.
The police laugh at the theory that
| it was the work of medical students
and are positive in their statements
| that the man and child were MUIR
| dered.
