MRS. KENsLER CONVICTED,
Found Guilty Of Murder in the
Second Degree.
rhe Woman and Freel Both Sentenood "a
Life imprisonment.

The second trial of Josie Kensler
for the murder of her husband,
John Kensler, near Glenn's Ferry
last October, was concluded at
Mountain Home Wednesday, May
Goth. The jury after being out
four hours and a half returned a
verdict of murder in the second
degree, the same as was rendered by
the jury in the former trial.
Judge Stockslager sentenced Mrs.
Kensler, and Alfred Freel, also con-
yicted Of murder in the second de-
gree, at hard labor in the peniten-
tiary for their natural lives.
Both the prisoners arrived at
Boise last Saturday in charge Of
Warden Van Dorm.
The depot platform was crowded
with people who were anxious to
see the convicts as they left the
train. The prisoners were imme-
diately taken to the prison in the
penitentiary carriage.
Freel at once entered upon his
prison life by taking the midday
meal with the other convicts. Mrs
Kensler was taken to the warden's
house on his invitation and ate
with his family.
Mrs. Kensler is the first woman
prisoner that has been incarcerate0
at the pen since Mrs. Margaret
Hardy, who was transferred to the
asylum at Blackfoot in October
1895. The warden took the room
on the second floor of the new Gel
house, that has been used as bar
Der shop for the officers and changed
1t into room for the female con
vict. A new bed, mattresses anc
pillows were purchased and th'
room given an air Of as much com
fort as possible. A matron has
been appointed who will take sole
charge of the new inmate.
The warden was favorably i'm
pressed with Mrs. Kensler. HI
thinks she will not be troublesom,
and will submit to the penalty tina
has been placed upon her for he
misdeeds with fairly good grace
She has told him she is willing tt
do whatever work he has about tn
buildings; that she can do it ane
will do it willingly. She claims Il
be good cook and an excellen
washer. AS she expects to becom'
mother in about three months
| there will be no hard work imposed
upon her until after that time.
Freel, as soon as he bad had BIZ
dinner, was taken to the barber anc
his hair received a clipping and th'
prison tailor fitted him with th'
regulation garb. He is illiterate
not being able to read or writ'
his own name. He has no religious
creed, received no religious instruc
ton and never attended Sunday
school. When his clothes were ex
amined silver ring. a gold watcl
and $6.75 in cash were found.

Oscar Wilde's first work after hi.

Oscar Wilde's first work after his
release from two years of solitary
confinement in an English prison
was to write a letter appealing in
strong terms for reform of the
present cruelty to children of ten.
der years in English jails. This
cruelty consists in locking the child
in dimly lighted cell for twenty.
three out of twenty-four hours
feeding it on bread and water, and
permitting no speech with any rel.
alive or friend. The result is terror
that drives the child nearly insane,
and fearful hunger, since few chill.
dren can eat the coarse food pro.
vided. Mr.. Wilde cites the case of
q kind-hearted warden who was dis.
charged because he gave a few
crackers to a starving little boy.

A Tragedy.

Michael Zapp of this city, who has
been conducting bakery in Melrose
| for several months, was seriously if
not fatally stabbed by Adam Knapp,
psf. Martin farmer, during an alter
cation, on Tuesday night. 1t is said
that there had been a feud of long
standing between the two, growing out
of deal for sewing machine, when
Mr.. Zapp was agent. Knapp had
been drinking and has the reputation
of being quarrelsome. About mid
night they met and had trouble, ex-
changing blows. Later the man seems
to have laid for Zapp and assaulted
him with knife, cutting a cash two
inches long through the abdominal
wall just above the left groin. SO that
the intestines protruded. Zapp was
picked up and carried to his lodgings,
and DR.. Campbell called. He sent for
DR.. Lewis, and not until morning was
the protruding intestines gotten back
into place, and the wound closed by
stitches. The wound is very danger
GUS one under the conditions as peril
onitis is very apt to follow such a
wound. The wound itself is not seri-
Gus, and it is possible no evil results
will ensue.
Mrs. Zapp was in ST. Cloud at the
time, attending the funeral of nephew
She was sent for and is with her hus-
band.
Knapp is under arrest, Deputy Sher-
iff Kramer Fastening to ST. Martin
after him, and he will be held awaiting
the result of his injuries.

All, INDEED!

The levy for county revenue for 1898
is six mills, and St. Clouds total rate
will be 80 mills higher by five mills
than in 1897, and the Journal Press
does not seem to be altogether happy
over it. 1t says, 'eThe large increase
in the county revenue rate is of course
due to the cost of the court house and
Jail improvements, and if this county
had anything to show for it's invest
ment of some $18, 600, it would not in
jure the feelings of the St. Cloud tax
payers to such an extent" Now,
really, that's too bad. If only $75, OOC
had been expended for a new court
house, which would have afforded nc
better accommodations than the pres.
ent structure any old rate of taxes,
however high would have been al
right.
