EVIDENCE
is Coming in Rapidly Against
Rev. Francis Herman
Charged with Murder.

A close examination of the apartments
of the Rev. Francis Herman in Salt
Lake City, has resulted in the finding
of large amount Of evidence, which is
supposed to be almost conclusive. The
false teeth belonging to the missing
Henrietta Clausen have been found also
her shoe and blood-stained pair of
over.alls, belonging to the preacher. A
vast amount of earth was removed in
the basement of the church, revealing
number OF bones. Miss Annis Samuelson
disappeared Jan. 2sth or 29th last. 1t
seems to have been demonstrated be-
yond question that Herman had been
criminally intimate with her and that he
had committed an abortion on her early
in the month stated.
Effort will be made to have Gov. Wells
offer a large reward for the bringing
back of Herman to Salt Lake City The
Minneapolis Journal Of Yesterday says:
Rev. Francis Herman is known in this
city, having been an intimate friend Of
Rev. Mr. Jacobson of this city, with
whom Mr.. Herman came to this country
in 1891. He was in this city last month
visiting friend, and was also in West
Superior. He presided for six months
over Rev. Mr.. Tollefson's congregation
in this city. Shortly after his arrival he
married Bertha Wangen, who shortly
afterward was sent to the insane asylum
where she died. He then married Miss
Martha Lommen. When here IN April
he claimed to be travelling about the
country taking subscriptions for his
church ct Salt Lake City,
Rev. Herman spent several days IN
Willis,on yiai.inS his brother-in-law, Mr..
Olaf Bersl winter.

families to come to the Deyils Lake
district and take up land. He was over
large portion Of the reservation and
saw no good land. The greater portion
of the reservation is swamp and the
timber land eligible to entry is covered
with poplar and has thin lignt soil that
a couple Of crops would exhaust. He
says the settlers are being robbed right
and left by land sharks in the real estate
business and that there is great deal o1
dissatisfaction on this account.

Few Fact. to chew On.

You say local option was a failure
before. Well. it was just what you
made it. You helped bad men to
violate the law.
You say local option will not pro
hibit. Then why are all men inter
ested in the whiskey business fight
ing it?
You say whiskey is sold in Atlantic
district. How do you know? Have
you bought any there? If so, you
are as mean as the man who sells it,.
If whiskey is sold in Atlantic district,
why does the district continue to go
dry two to one?
Lee district was under local option
two years. You say it was a failure.
Who helped to make it a failure?
After trying a thing two years and
finding it a failure do you always
give it up? If so, why don't you give
up the law against stealing? Last
winter in Drummondtown some ten
or twelve houses were broken into,
and that thief has not as yet been
caught. Why don't you say the law
againt stealing is a failure, and there
fore give it up? In the name of God,
We men of God, think what you are
doing.

profits of the bar-keeper. But what
our friend calls local option, takes
every expense off the drinker, except
first costs and freight. Any man
liable and willing to pay for it, can
buy it without committing crime. !"
Food is a necessity Whiskey is not
Local stores are necessary. Bar
rooms are not. The u. S. govern
ment taxes whiskey, as high, non
essential luxury. If the drinkers,
rich ard poor, of Accomac, can pay
this tax and all the prime costs, the
freight bills and income of the seller,
and then add to it, enough money to
run the whole system of bar-room in
Accomac, why under ''local option"
cannot they more easily buy this
luxury, when they are no longer
supporting the whole system OF
saloons, in addition to paying for
their whiskey? Under dry condi-
tons they pay for the luxury, pay
the freight or expressage, and save
all the other costs, they had been
paying heretofore. UNUs.
