Three Hungarians Commit
a Fiendish Crime in a
Mining Town.
Robbery the Motive of the Deed,
but the Perpetrators Fail to
Secure Booty.
Quick Capture of the Assassins, Who
Narrowly Escape Lynching at the
Hands of Citiz.ns

WILKESBARRE, Pa, Nov. 23.-The
mining town of Nesquehering, in Carbon
County, was the scene of the widest ex.
element yesterday when it became known
that a terrible murder had been COM
mitted, the victims being Mrs. Caspar La
Boye and her husband.
The former was instantly killed and the
latter fatally injured. The perpetrators of
the crime are three Hungarians, who were
arrested by NUM- Der of men while at
tempting to make their escape, and had it
not been for the Interference of the police,
all three would have been lynched. The
prisoners were taken to Mauch Chunk and
are now in jail awaiting hearing.
The La Boyes have always been looked
upon as upright, hard working people,
and during the past ten years have ac-
cumulaied quite a snug sum of money.
To secure their hard-earned earnings,
which were supposed to be hidden in their
home, the murderers entered the house at
an early hour in the morning,
On hearing their footsteps Mrs. La Boya
became aroused and awakened her hus-
band. A moment later and at the sight of
one of the intruders, La Boye jumped
from his bed ana scuffie ensued, but be-
fore he could do anything the three
grabbed him and in an instant he lay
PROSTATE on the floor.
Mrs. La Boye started for the street to
give an alarm, but before she had reached
the foot of the stairs she was overtaken
by one of the Hungarians, who buried the
blade of a sJiletto deep into her breast
causing almost instant death.
The robbers then became alarmed on
hearing noise on the outside, but before
escaping from the residence they slashed
La Boye with their knives in most hor-
rible manner, leaving him, as they sup
posed, dead on the floor.
When it became known that a murder
had been committed posse of citizens was
formed and a thorough search was made
for the assassins. Every foot of ground
was gone over in the neighborhood, and
on reaching an old shanty near the rail-
road station they found three burly Hun
garians.
They were spattered with blood, and
each had the appearance of having been
engaged in a struggle. They could give
no account of themselves, not being able
to speak English, and it was all the.offi-
GERS could do to keep the people from
str r1ngIng them up to tree.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Nov. 23.-Gen.
eraI Harrison was made the victim of a
burglar tonight and the gold watch that
Mrs. Harrison has carried for years is
among the missing valuables. The work
was done by porch-climber during the
early part of the evening while the

o'clock Mrs. Harrison missed the watch.
which had been lying on her dresser, and
her purse was found lying open with a
small amount of change missing. General
Harrison began an INVESTIGATION and
found that an entrance had been forced
from the roof of the yeranda above the
front door into the study upstairs by pry-
ing the lock from the window. The thief
had eventually gone from this room across
the hall to Mrs. Harrison's room. He had
climbed one of the pillars of the veranda
on the south side and walked around to
the front of the roof No trace of him
could be found.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Nov. 23.-The

not unlikely that the lingo" press of

the statement that it will receive no Of

One thousand Mexican Dollars Boldly

CHEEFOO, CHINA, Oct. 26.-The United
States cruiser Boston, Captain Frank
Wildes, is here at this writing, but at this
season OF the year Cheefoo offers few at
fractions to naval officers, and the officers
of the Boston are very little in evidence
The naval sensation just now is the loss of
1000 Mexican dollars from the Boston,
which Mexican dollars were taken by some
person or persons. who, if the necessity
arose, would carry off hot stove. The
dollars disappeared from box outside
the cabin door. This statement may strike
the uninitated as trife odd, but IN the
language of the poet:
'Tis true, tits pity,
And pity tits tits true.
Paymaster Martin found that he could
not store the box's contents, 1000 Mexican
| dollars in his safe, SO Captain Wildes gave
orders that the box which is iron strapped,
made of inch boards heavily nailed and
| fltted with two rope bandles-the regular
| box in which all silver comes from the
banks here, weight about $50 pounds
| should be placed outside the cabin door.

the orderly and another man disappeared

the evidence necessary for conviction is

The robbery is one of the most remark

Hon. w. E. Lee visited our place last
Saturday, and since that time good
deal of governor talk has been INDUCED
in. Mr.. Lee has made record in this
part OF the state that strengthens him
greatly. AS manager of the state re-
tormatory he did a great work. those
who had seen his good work here and in
the legislature began to urge him for the
position of governor. At last he con.
sented and Is now at work, going about
seeing the people. His quiet, but earn
est ways win the admiration of all with
whom he meets. Our citizens know a
real man when they see him, and their
appreciation of him is shown bv the ex-
pressions which we quote in another
column. He does not carry this village
in his vest pocket. as some thoughtless
person telegraphed to the Globe, but he
has lot of admirers who are right in
thinking that he would make a model
governor. a credit to the state, and a
satisfaction to his friends. Be it said,
more, to his honor, that he exacted no
promises and gave none.-New Payhes.

republican candidate for governor,

zens. He expressed himself as well
pleased with the outlook in the state,
and was gratifed by the kindly feeling
entertained of his candidacy by Wadena
republicans. There are coeent reasons
why Wadena county republicans should
support Mr.. Lee, and we believe that
when the matter is fully considered that
they will gladly 80 so. While looking
with favor upon other candidates, it
will be easily understood why we
should prefer our neighbor, the gentle
man from Todd. His ability, character,
and public services as we'll as his resi-.
dence in the same congressional district,
all unite to draw us strongly to him.
HIS candidacy is meeting with cordial
acceptance in all localities and we be-
lieve his popularity as a candidate will
increase steadily. Wadena Journal.

1T serious consideration:
c. H. Jensen of Nelson, was in town
on Tuesday. Mr.. Jensen is a patron of
the Nelson creamery and is well pleased
with the results. Last winter he had
but one cow whose milk he turned in
and he got in cash for her milk in the
one month of December, 1884. Then
butter netted the creamery "a cents
pound. he now hasfour cows and says
the pasturage was never better. A little
mathematics will show to any farmer
the value OF this creamery. Butter is
very low now and will net at the cream
cry only ABOUT II cents a pound, one
half as much as in December, but ma
ture is feeding Mr.. Iensen's cows with
out charge to him, and they are giving
more and better milk. If they net him
but "a month and milk but eight
months in the year. each cow will bring

net. And yet yearling heifers have been
sold IN this vicinity this Spring at from
$o to $12 each. They were too cid for
veal and too young for,beef and the
owners simply sacrificed them to get
rid OF them. Mr.. Jensen says that a
good mich cow in his neighborhood
cannot be bought tor $25 and no won

her owner every season. The patrons
OF the creamery also have their skim
milk to take home and Mr. Jensen saws
