HELD UP By RIVER PIRATES.
A Boatman ChOked Into InsensibiI-
ity and Then Robbed.

Brunswick, Ga, Dec. "a genuine case
Of river piracy came to light to-day. Fore
man Develin of Jekyl Island was held up
.by two negro boatmen, choked in to insen-
sbility and robbed Of $2S and a gold watch
and chain. His boat was then set adrift
and he foated with the tide until con-
sciousness was regained. The crime was
committed last night. Develin was en-
route to Jekyl in a row boat alone. The
negroes pulled near him and asked for a
drink of water. Develin stopped and they
came along side. While Develin was
bending over to get the jug one of the
negroes jumped into his boat, caught him
by the throat and choked him insensible.
His clothing was then rified and the boat
cast off and he drifted several miles. Deve-
h lin came TO Brunswick to-day in response
to Chief Beachs request and gave an ac-
count OF the robbery, with description
of the men.

CURE FOR CoRPULENCY.
A Swedish Movement which Endan-
gers Dignity.
From the London Graphic.


From the London Graphic.
Except the common cold, against which
thousands of years of @cientific inquiry
have been Ineffective there is scarcely a
disease which has not its patent cure.
Many inventions come from Sweden
where massage establishments are more
common than public houses, and where
there is hardly an ILL., from headache to
heartburn. which cannot be cured for you
by the ministrations Of ingeniously con-
trived punching machines. But the
strangest of Swedens inventions for the
lettering of the health of humanity has
only just been brought into publicity.
1t is a cure for corpulency: and its main
principles are that the sufferers should
turn somersaults There are some who
might object that any lady or gentleman
capable of turning a somersault cannot,
strictly speaking. be regarded as corpu-
lent and most people. unless very corpu-
lent indeed, would certainly prefer their
present state to this eventful and incon-
venient method of changing 1t. Even the
most particular of us would prefer that
our elderly relations. especially II femin-
Inc, should prefer their present appear
ance rather than descend to such an
alarming sacrifice of dignity.

SHERIFF ROGERS sLAYERs
VIII BE Taken toSGl@ acoe for Trial
This WEEK.

Musgrove and Gingnars, who are
charged with the murder of Sheriff
Rogers, of Mcleod cainty, and who
have been confined in the Ramsey
county jail since their. capture, will
be taken back too Glencoe some day
this week. The men, 4twill be recalled,
were captured theI day following the
murder near ArlingtonIg Mimi, and af-
ter being taken toe the scene of the
crime were broughts forss safe keeping to
ST. Paul. There WAS IA deal of talk
about lynching the twain at Glencoe,
and this was prevented by the arrival
of Company d, of this city, in Glencoe
the night they were captured.
A special grand jury has been called
at Glencoe for Aug 20, and special
term of court will be held on Aug. 26,
at which time the men will be placed
on trial before Judge Caldwell. They
will be defended by Erwin & Shumakor
of this city. Cingmars and Musgrove
since their arrival at the Ramsey
county jail have been model prisoners,
and by their behavior and conduct
have gained the respect and good will
of the officials who have had thero in
charge. Seen at the Jail yesterday,
neither of the prisoners cared to tax
about the case. Both realized that
they were in serious position and
while they hoped for the best admit
ted that there was not much too look
ahead to. Cingmars, whose r,frcnts
live at Rhinelerder, Wis, has been
visited by his father and sister several
times. His father is a prosperous and
highly respected farmer in that sec
ton, and his sister is a school teacher
Musgrove has two sisters at America.
Ala, and it is understood that one of
them will attend the trial of her
brother. Letters from officials at
America, state that Musgrove comes
from a good family and that up to tho
time he left thot ci'y, he bore a good
character and had always been a sotcr
and hard working young man. The
prisoners, it is urferstood, will be-
token previous to the calling Of the
grand jury, erd s fhe feeling in the
community agr rst them has changed
since the crime was committed, they
will remain IN the Glencoe Jail urt.,

LEGAL STEPS ARE TAKEN

Commissioners Are Cited to Appear

Cass county people who are opposed
to losing the thirteen townships that
were attached to Crow Wing county by
annexation some time ago have re-
newed the fight to recover their terri
tory in good earnest and have appealed
to the law for redress. Yesterday, JUS
tice Mitchell, of the Supreme court,
issued a writ of quo warranto, citing
A. P. Farrar, Joel Smith, John tBubear,
Henry Mahle and Henry Peterson,
commissioners of Grow Wing county,
to appear before the Supreme court
in October, and show why they annexed
the thirteen townships belonging to
Cass county to Grow Wing county.
This step is taken to bring the matter
before the supreme court in the reg
ular way.

names was drawn up Nov. 80, 1895, from
the townships in Cass codnty, duly
drawn up under the law of 1895. pro-
viding for the annexation of portions
of urcrGani-cd counties to organized
counties. The law requires that the
petition shall contain the names of at
least two-thircs OF the legal voters of
the district sought to be attached. The
petition was accompanied by affidavits
and apparently everything was all
right and the annexation was deemed
regular and legal Later a remon-
STRANGE, sigred by 104 persons, all
claiming to he legal voters of the
township interested, was filed. Twenty
five signers Of this second petition were
siGners of the first petition, and they
claimed they had signed the first one
under a Misrepresentation of the facts.

commission to examine into the contro-

only 146 legal voters in the district, and
that there was considerable uncertain
