Kopp and son Of this city had an adj
venture that neither will wish to re-

were hailed bv members of a vigilance
committee, which has been organized
to protect farmers from the depre-
dations OF chicken thieves and calf
stealers. The vigilantes We're armed
with shotguns, and their fierce looks
and words alarmed the Kopps, and
when they were ordered to halt they
attempted to dash by, having every
reason to believe their assaiiants were
robbers. The vigiiants gave chase and
fired several shots, when the kOppS
drove into a farm yard for protection.
The vigilants soon came up. and ex-
plantations followed, bat these could
not repair the injury done by the reck-
less shooting. The son John has some
seven shots. iii his ankle. and one Of
the horses is so badly riddled that it
will probably die. The Kopps were
carrying lighted lantern, and treated
the men, when accosted, in a perfectly
open way, and there was slight excuse

be issued for the arrest of those who
did the shooting. All parties are well

Redwood Falls, Mimi, Aug. 4.-John
OConnell, we'll known farmer and
prominent politician of Westline town
ship, Redwood county, was murdered
after midnight Saturday morning at
his farm house. Seven gashes were
cut into his scalp by some blunt iron
instrument, three of which broke the
scalp in us mnny different places, and
these caused death. After the blows
had been inflicted, O'Connell's clothes
were saturated with Kerosene and his
home was set on fire. Although his
body was recovered after being badly
burned, the house was burned to the
ground.
1t was Mt first thought that he had
been accidentally burned to death in
his home, but the statements of the
three Oldest Of the nine OConnell
children, made to the county authori-
ties, are to the effect that Mrs. O'CCp-
nell, wife of the murdered man was
the sole author Of the horrible deed.
1t appears that O'Connell and neigh
Dor, Charles Gahagan, returned home
from Amiret about 8 o'clock Friday
night. Both were drunk, and O'Con-
nell brought home a jug of whisky.
Gahagan soon left the place, but
O'Connell continued imbibing the con-
tents Of the jug.
Mrs. O'Connell retired about II, ard
O'Connen an hour later. A quarrel
must have occurred between them, be-
cause O'Conuell soon came down
stairs and retired to an annex, where
he fell asleep. Shortly afterwards
Mrs. O'Connell came down and re-
moved the nine children from the
house. The Oldest one, boy II years
old, foreseeing trouble, left for neigh
boris for assistance. While he was
gone, according t" the stories Of the

blows with a churn dasher or some in

afterward the house was enveloped in
fumes, and when help arrived O'Con-
nell's badly burned body was taken
from the fire. A coroner's jury was
empaneled and returned verdict Of
death from violence at the hands Of
unknown persons, and it was not until
yesterday, when a post-mortem was
held, that the facts came cut
Mrs. O'Connell Is still irrational, and

Mrs. O'Connell has made a full con-

no one was implicated in it but herself
and that she did it under great provo

is also under arrest. The county at.

seems to be able to reason and talk

ever, is that a woman could not easily
infiict the wounds by which the skull
was literally beaten into atoms. Sew
eral brothers and sisters of O'Connell,
from Ontario, Wis, were outspoken in
denouncing the murder. In the public

The Action of New Collector Will
cults of Duluth Brings a Protest.
Duluth, Mimi, Aug. Z. - The Booth
Packing company has filed a protest
against the collection of duties on fish
brought by it from Canadian waters.
The Dingley bill provides for duty of
IA cent a pound on fresh fish i'm
ported, except on fish caught by Amer
lean citizens. The Booth company
brings a great amount of fish from
Port Arthur, and Collector Wilcutts is
now charging duties on it. The Booth
company claims that it is an American
corporation. and that it is caring for
and causing to be caught the fish that
are being brought from Canada. 1t
does not deny that Canadians are do
ing the fishing for the company, but it
claims that the nets, etc.. all belong to
the company, and that it hires the men.
The collector takes the position that
the fishermen are all Canadians, and
that the company buys the fish by the
pound. The department will have to
settle the matter.
