FIND CLUES TO A CRIME.
The Dollhouse Family Did Not Perish
by Fire-Seven We're
Slain.

Alma, Wis, March 25.-Ever since the
burning of the Dollhouse family in their
home at Herold, early in the morning
Of March Z, the neighbors have been
considerably agitated over the mystery
connected with the case. The bodies of
the mother and five children were found
in the bedroom and the fathers body
near the window in room next adjoin-
ing. On the mothers bed was found a
revolver, with six empty shells, while a
breech-loading shotgun was found near
the father, without, however, showing
any evidence of having been fired, as
there We're no shells in it,
AT the inquest held the same day there
was an attempt made to ascertain wheth-
er there had been any quarrel in the
family, but nothing to that effect de-
veloped. The woman's head was exam
med and q fracture was found. This, it
was thought. had resulted from machin-
cry which was on the second floor drop
ping onto it, The jury therefore rem
dered verdict of death from suffocation
and fire. However, one suspicious cir
cumstance after another has developed,
and statements regarding trouble in the
family have been made until the the
Dry that it was a case Of suicide and
murder took firm hold of the minds of all
the neighbors
Monday the bodies were exhumed and
a further examination ordered yesterday.
TAe first examined was the body of the
father, the back part of whose head had
been burnt away. The examination re-
Vealed two bullets in the BRAIN All but
two bodies have been examined, but
most are burned beyond recognition or
semblance to anything human, hence not
much can be found. The head of one
child had fracture, into which fitted
hammer which had been found in the
ruins. The fracture in the woman's
head is also thought to have been made
with this hammer.
The investigation concluded last night
shows that the seven members of the
family were murdered. There is no clue
to the murderers. Only small sum of
money was found in the house, although
Mr.. Dollhouse had recently sold his farm,
and the family was to have started West
ON the day following the fire.

SHUTDOWN CERTAIN.
Orders Received by Appleton Mill
Men to Reduce the Use
of Water.

Appleton, Wis, March 25.--[Speciall--
Government orders were received by man
ufacturers here today cutting the use of
water for power, purposes one-half or to
$4,000 cubic feet. This will doubtless be
followed shortly by an order for total
shutdown as only by such means can
the water be raised to the crest Of Me-
nasha dam.
The present curtaiiment will not change
the situation here any. The total shut
down when it comes will close all mills
which make pulp only, throwing several
hundred men out of work in the valley.
All paper mills have steam and will con-
tinue to run. The shutdown will not
approach in extent that of last summer
and but few hundred men will be made
idle in the whole valley.
Papermakers being unable to make
pulp will be obliged to buy outside, thus
increasing the cost of their product and
probably raising the price to the consum-
ers. Appletons electric light and car
service may, also be affected as no steam
power has been provided at their plant.

LUMBER PILES BURNING.
Three Large Mills at La Crosse
Threatened with Destruction
Loss is Over SIS, 900.

La Crosse. Wis, March 24.-TSpeciall
The worst confa grafton in the lumber
district since the $4,000 fire in 1887
broke out in the yards of the Holway
Lumber company at 11:30 O'clock this
forenoon, and at this hour, p. M, is
still burning fercely.
The forty-mile gale was blowing from
the south and cinders and sparks were
driven from the Holway plant which oc-
cupies the most southern position in the
tier of mills on the north side, directly
north to the island occupied by the La
aid Bros. The large lumber piles here
caught fire and soon the whole island
was in one sheet of flame.
Last fall when an inventory was taken
there were 100000 feet, mostly culled
lumber, on the island. Besides there
were thousands and thousands of cords
of slabs. The fire department had their
hands full in keeping the flames from
spreading from the HolWay mill and
could do nothing with the fire on the
island Sparks flew north and set Saw
yer & Austin's mill and logs aire, but
the mill corps speedily put that out. The
east end of the bridge across Black
river was burned in two, shutting out
communication from West La Crosse.
At one time the whole lumber district
was threatened, but from present ap-
pearances it will be controlled without
much further damage. 1t is difficult to
estimate the loss, but it will probably
be close to 5000. The lumber burned
at the Holway plant was mostly hem
lock while that belonging to the La
Crosse Lumber company was all pine,
Holway's loss on lumber is estimated at
100000 feet. The insurance is about
one-half The fire department. from
Sparta arrived about 2:55 o'clock. Help
also comes from Winona.
3:15 p. m.--I'ire is now said to be un-
der control The greater portion of the
loss sustained will be lumber owned
principally by the La Crosse Lumber
company.
$3.50 D. m.-The loss of lumber is now
estimated at from 100000 and 4,O0O,.
600 feet. The fire on the island is dying
down, having swept everything. The in
surance is estimated as about 80 per

OUTLOOK is BRIGHT.
Farmers Railroad to West Superior will
be Blu 1t,


Superior, Wis, March 24.-ISpecial.] J.
w. 3. kellogg, attorney for the Duluth
& North Dakota railroad, returned yes
terday from Drayton and other points
along the proposed route of the "Farm-
ers' railroad" where he attended meet
ings of directors and of farmers. Mr..
Kellogg thinks there is not now the slight
est doubt that the road will be built dur
ing the coming summer. The farmers
along the line and hundreds of business
men in the cities have given assurances
Of the desired aid and the only question
that is now troubling the minds of the
projectors is that of change in the
route in order to please the farmers Of
localities which the original plan did not
take into consideration.
1t is likely that a material change in
the main line will be made but not until
sufficient inducements have been offered
to warrant it. The people of Grand
Forks and Crookston want the course
deviated so that the road will run direct
ly through their towns instead of having
branches built from the main line as pro-
posed and proposition was made to the
business men of the two cities which If
accepted will bring about the desired
change. Considerable difficulty is expe
rienced also with farmers i'll small set

M'KINLEY MEN BOLT.
Small Riot in the Texas Convention
Two Sets OF Dele
gates.

Austin, Tex, March 27.-The Re-
publican convention which has been in
session in this city since Tuesday, ad-
journed sine die, yesterday afternoon,
after having enjoyed the distinction Of
narrowly avoiding funeral, and having
the not unusual thing nowadays in
Texas of split convention.
The convention adopted platform
along the regular lines and currency

Electors: George Clifford of San An

Hardly had the vote on selection of
delegates been announced than the an
ticipated trouble was on. As the chair
man declared the men elected, a wild
whoop from the center of the Mckinley
delegation proclaimed that trouble had
begun. The first negro to reach the
stage made lunge at Chairman Cuney's
head with his fist. While he was quick,
one of Cuney's followers was quicker.
AS he struck at Quincy, he found himself
confronted by a big revolver in the hands
of negro. The two men eyed each
other for few seconds when they both
went down before the bowling mob that
was surging around and about them.
In an instant the platform was scene
Of wild chaos. Excited negroes swayed
to and fro in battle for twenty min
utes before an armed force of police
men could quiet the riot 1t was then
discovered that no one was dangerously
hurt, although several were bruised con-
siderably.
AS soon as order could be restored the
convention, after disposing of minor mat
tiers, adjourned sine die, without issuing
any instructions to the delegates. Then
the Mckinley faction took charge of the
hall, organized and elected the follow
ing delegates to st. Louis: John Grant
Of Sherman, Frank Hamilton Of Austin,
S. L. Smith of Colorado and w. T.. Da-
Wis of Fort Worth. They adopted reso-
lutions endorsing Mckinley for Presi-

committee says that the Quincy conven-
ton was conducted improperly, and that

PLOTTED TO KILL.
Otto Sandmayr Seeks the Life OF
Minnie Broese, His House
keeper,

Milwaukee, Wis, March 26.--Otto
Sandmayr. u printer employed by the
Gcrmania Publishing company, was ar
Miss Minnie Broese. The police say he
made deliberate preparations for the
murder of the young woman by dispos-
ing of all his household furniture and
providing for the care Of his children by
placing them i'll charge of Supt. White
head of the Humane society. This pre-
caution. it is said, was taken by him
with the expectation that he would be
sentenced to Waupun for taking the
girls life.
Miss Broese called at the central po-
lice station yesterday afternoon and told
her story. 1t was that she had been en-
ployed as housekeeper by Sandmayr at
his house at $50 Fourteenth street, his
wife being dead, and had been working
for him about four years. Not long
ago she left his house because he would
not pay her the wages that were due,
and fitted out rooms for herself in a
house owned by her mother at Sixth
street and Concordia avenue. He was
drunk a large part of the time, she said,
and was very abusive, but she tolerated
small childrens for whom she felt a
deep pity. Finally his actions became
unbearable. lie threatened 81 number of
times TO take her life. He was behind
in her wages. and she thought it best to
leave. Tuesday, it appears, he made
several visits to the house in which she
had taken refuge, bent upon carrying
session. She managed to elude him, but
her fear SO preyed upon her mind that
she felt compelled to make a complaint,
and have the man locked up.

PETITION FOR FISHWAYS.
Government Requested TO Lock After the
FinnY Tribe in FOX River.

Government Requested to Lock After the
Finny Tribe in Fox River.
Portage, Wis, March 26.-[Special.l i
A petition is being circulated in this
city and elsewhere throughout the Sec
ond district, which will be presented to
Congressman Sauerhering to be placed
before the proper authorities, asking for
the construction of fshways in the Fox
river. Before it is submitted to Mr..
Sauerherings it will be circulated in
Green Lake and Marquette counties.
The petition asks that the government
place a fishway in each of the dams of
the Fox between where the Wolf joins
the Fox, near the village of Buttes des
Morris in Winnebago county, and the
government canal locks near the city Of
Portage.
These fshways will allow the fish to
pass up and down the river at all sea-
sons and at all times, instead of confin-
ing them below the dams, where they are
ruthlessly slaughtered and fast becoming
eXterminated. In the present condition
the fish cOngregate below the dams in
great numbers and are often illegally
taken with nets, spears and explosives.
Attention is called to the fact that legal
fishing is almost wholly destroyed above
the dams, from the fact that the fish can
not get beyond the distractions and in
their attempts to pass remain below the
dams until they are caught or destroyed.
