EVIL SPIRITS ON THE RUN.
New Sect in Nebraska That Chases
Devils Gross Country.

P~APILLIoN, Neb., July IA new
religious sect has sprung up in the
western part of this county. 1t takes
its name from the founder of the sect,
Mrs. Louis Figg, who is an old settler
in that locality. For several years
Mrs. Figg was a shining light in the
Holiness sect, but a few years ago she
began teaching a doctrine which the
many conservative members of the
Holiness organization could not in
dorse, and now she has separated
herself and following from all other
organizations.
One of the peculiar teachings of the
Figgites is that when a stranger en-
tiers the presence Of a Figg they know
instantly whether God OF the devil is
present in the body of the stranger,
and woe betide the wayfarer in whose
physical body they should locate his
satanic majesty. A company of this
strange sect recently discovered the
devil in the Christian Courch at Gre
tina in the person of a respected mem
Der. The disciple who discovered
him gave a wild yell and started on
his trail. Pretty soon she wss aided
in the chase by a half dozen women.
Screaming Historically they chased
the evil one out of the church; round,
and round the building they ran,
striking wildly at an imaginary foe.
Finally they chased him over into a
cornfield, where they lost the trail.

CHARGED WITH MURDER.
Thomas Flood, One of the Men Impli-
Gated in the Alleged Accident
at WellsvilIe.

WELLsvILLE, Mo-, July 10.-Thos.
Flood, one of the three men who was
struck by the Wabash fast mail at
this place at 2:02 p. m. June 80, and
who sustained a fractured skull, was
released by the town authorities this
morning and was Immediately ar
rested by Constable Brooke on a war
rant charging him with murder in the
first degree.
From all appearances, Flood is the
toughest of the three men, but he is
not as intelligent as Billy Moore, who
Is incarcerated at Mexico on the same
charge. He was pumped by Prose-
cutting Attorney, Claude R. Ball, after
being taken before Squire Appling,
at Montgomery City, who remanded
him to Jail without bail. Moore never
acknowledged being in WelEsville OF
Monday before the tragedy. Flood
acknowledged this to the Prosecuting
Attorney and also said there were six
men in the gang, and was anxious to
learn whether any but Moore and
himself had been arrested. He in
variably evaded the question al to
how he and Moore received their in
juries and what brought about the
death of Schmidt or Sullivan. He also
said he had known Moore for six
years.
Moore said that he had only known
Flood for a few days. 1t is thought
that Flood will give the whole affair
away. He was taken to the Warren
ton Jail this afternoon. The prelimi-
nary hearing of Moore and Flood
takes place at Montgomery City July

Thomas Dunbar, a Rails County Farm

Correspondence of the Ledger.
VANDALIA, Mo-, July 11.-Reliable
information has been received here of
the sudden taking away of Thomas
Dunbar, a thrifty Rails county farmer,
who resided 8 miles north of here. On
yesterday afternoon he and several
farm hands were out harvesting when
suddenly a heavy rain storm came up
and they sought shelter in the barn.
Encased beneath its roof Tom leisurely
threw his shoulder against the side
entrance wall for a rest, when a stroke
of lightning shivered the roof and
killed him instantly. Strange as it
may seem, no other injury was done.

NEW SAYINGS OF CHRIST.
Small Page of Papyrus Found In
Egypt Has Been Translated
Into English.

LONDON, July 13.-The small page
of papyrus found in Egypt, containing
in ancient Greek some detached say
ings of Christ, has been translated
and given to the public. 1t dates from
about 200 A. D.. On the whole it is
disappointing. The two new sayings
are as follows:
"Jesus saith except ye fast to the
world ye will in no wise find the king
dom of God; and except ye keep the
Sabbath ye shall not see the Father"
"Jesus saith wherever there are
(here occurs a gap) and there is one
(gap) alone I am with him. Raise the
stone and there thou shalt find me;
cleave the wood and there I am"
The latter part is entirely new and
it is expected that it will arouse con-
troversy.. 1t seem to indicate a pam
theistic philosophy and perhaps is a
reflection of the mystical occultism of
the agnostics in the early Christian
centuries.
These will probably take their place
with other typographical sayings that
have been discovered from time to
time,

No Younger Pardon.
THE MINNESOTA BOARD OVER
RULES THE URGENT PETI-
TIoNS FOR CLEMENcY.
A Sharp Disappointment for Friends
From Missouri, Who Had Worked
Hard for the Brothers, Espec-
tally Capt. 5ronau(h.

ST. PAUL, MINI. July 13.-The State
Board of Pardons has refused to par.
don the Younger brothers.
As soon as the board met yesterday
afternoon it took up the case OF Cole
and James Younger. A great crowd
was present, including a large delega-
ton from Mortified, the scene of the
bank robbery nearly twenty-one
years ago. This delegation was head
cd by MayorNobie and all were strong
in their denunciations of the Young
ers.
Ex-Sherif Barton,of Faribault, who
captured the oungers after theNorth-
field raid, said that he had talked to
more men about the Youngers than
any man in Minnesota, and added:
s'There are not two men and women
in Faribault county who would not
like to see them pardoned. I believe
that four-fifths of the people of Min
nesota are in favor of their pardon"
Judge McCafferty, of st. Paul, coun-
sci for the friends of the Youngers,
went into every detail of the petition
at length. He produced a plea from
ex-Attorney General Wilson, who
prosecuted the Youngers. He emu
merated the names of congressman
and senator's who had asked for the
pardona and declared that all Missouri
was asking for them.
Governor Clough was not in a good
humor when the hearing was resumed
this morning. He objected to state
ments antedating the Mortified af-
fair being brought into the case, and
took no pains to hide his dfsapproval.
John Estes, a citizen Of Northfield,
made the statement that many men
who had been pardoned had broken
the laws and been sent back to the
penitentiary. This angered Cover
mol. Clough still more.
"Hold on there" exclaimed the
governor, bristling up. "That's moi
true. There never has been q man
sent back to that institution who was
pardoned by me. You people come
up here and make all kinds of state
ments. It's safe to say that any man
recommended for pardon by the war
den Is all right"
Mayor Keyes, of Faribault, said that
Missouri was not in very good stand
ing with Minnesota because Governor
Crittenden had declined to honor q
requisit1on for Frank James. "Iknow
that James shot Haywood" he said,
sfor Mr.. Wilcox, a clerk in the bank,
went to Missouri and positively ident-
fled James. Governor Crittenden
refused to let us have James and now
he is making a plea for the Youngers.
The effect of this pardon would be
bad on the rising generation. Why,
the small boys of Faribault have been
playing Cole Younger for twenty-one
years."
During the hearing Quantrill's raid
was mentioned many times, as were
the names of Shelby, Price, Jennisen,
Ransom, Ewing, Peabody and others
familiar to war time residents of Mis-
souri,.
Once during the deliberations hair-
man O'Brien, of the prison managers.
sprang to his feet and said to Cover
nor Clough and his associates of the
pardon board: "If you don't care to
take the responsibility of pardoning
these men, commute their sentences
to a limit and we will pardon them
mighty uuick,o
