Rescue of Senorita CisnerOs Con-

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Oct 25.-This is the
other side of the story. Herbert j.
Browne is a Washington correspon-
dent He is a good man. But he has
thus far failed to achieve results COM
menSurate with his abilities and ac-
complishments. Karl Decker rescued
Miss Cisneros from a Spanish dungeon
in Cuba. He is entitled to all of the
ceiving, and will always receive. Karl
Decker went to Cuba and rescued the
imprisoned maiden; and risked his life
in that endeavor. Every hat and every
bonnet should be doffed to him. He is
a hero. He was assigned to the task,
and he accomplished his work.
But Herbert J. Browne, of whom
you never before heard, is the man who
conceived the plan for the rescue of
Miss Cisneros
1t has been ascertained that Herbert
J. Browne conceived the plan of the
rescue of Miss Cisneros, and was as
signed by his employer to the task of
accomplishing that wonderful work
Mr.. Browne went to New York, shipped
his baggage, and was ready to start on
his lf-conceived mission of mercy,
when he was recalled, and Karl Decker
was given the assignment. That is how
it happens that Herbert j. Browne is
today an unknown man, and Karl
Decker is a hero.

discovery of the half-hidden trail by
one of their number saved the mem
bers of the Trippe party from horrible
death by starvation on the Dalton
trail late in September. They left
Dawson City for the states in small
steamer Aug. 2S. and, after reaching
Fort Selkirk, prepared their outfits for
the long and arduous journey over the
Dalton trail. A week after leaving
the Yukon river they encountered an
ugly Alaskan blizzard. The trail was
covered with snow until they lost their
bearing. Their provisions ran out, and,
after cropping for three days through
a binding snow storm, they were final
ly rescued by Indians and taken to
Dalton trading post, where they OBJ
tanned the first real food they had had
for nearly four days. After resting
for two days, they resumed their
march to the ChilkOot pass and reach
ed the end of their journey without
further mishap. All of the men were
very weak from their sufferings, and it
will be several days before they are
restored to their accustomed strength.

LAST OF FORT RANDALL.
Lands Are Opened for Settlement
by HOmesteaders.

CHAMBERLAIN, S. D., Oct. 25.-
Long before daylight this morning,
scores of soldiers gathered outside the
United States land office and remained
there constantly until the office opened
for business at o'clock.
The occasion was the opening of the
military reservation. For the past two
days intending homesteaders have been
arriving by train and team. In the
line this morning, was a woman, who
had come over a hundred miles to Sc
cure a quarter section of South Dakota
land. Many of those here to make en-
try today, have been squatterS on the
land they desire, for several years, and
have extensive improvements made.
The claims of many of the squatters
conflict. Some tracts have two or three
claimants and contests will be neceS
sary to determine who has the most
right to such tracts. The Fort Ran
dali reservation was established by eX
ecutive order June 16, 1860. A military
post was established there in 1854. The
post was abandoned and an executive
order of Oct. 20, 1898, placed the reser-
walton under control of the interior de-
partment for disposal under the home
stead law. The reservation contains
a total of more than a hundred thou
sand acres, a portion of which lies in
South Dakota. the remainder in Ne
braska. That portion lying in this
state was opened to settlement today.
In the early days Fort Randall was
the handsomest and gayest of frontier
military posts, and played an impor-
tant figure in the early history of Da-

VICTORIA, B. c., Oct. 25.-Miners

City about forty days ago, say five days
before they left Hansen, one Of the

which is carrying off an average of
five men daily. Twenty-four hours
after the victim is attacked he turns

and two days later, in majority OF
cases, is dead
On it's way out over the Dalton

are now going downs-the river with

HAUGAN CASE CUT SHORT.
Evidence All In and Arguments
VIII Begin Today.

The evidence in the case of the. state
appropriation of public money, is concluded
with the exception OF the arguments TO the
jury. ~
1t was considerable Of a surprise 10 every
body when Mr.. Nye rested the case for the
defense after his examination of the &C
cused 1t was a surprise because the open
ing of the defense had outlined evidence in
which all the former city treasurers were to
have been placed on the sand to show that
they used to lend city money about as they
pleased at the suggestion of the city coun-
Gil Instead of going this far, however, the
defense placed several well known cluZens
on the sand to testify to the good char
acter of the accused, and then Haugan was
sworn in his own behalf. This is the whole
defense, with the exception of the proceed
ings of the city council, showing that the ac-
cused was not to account for the interest on
the city money to the council
It was somewhat of a surprise that the
case has ended so soon, as 1t was expected
that there would be considerable testimony;
judging by the cart load Of books lugged
into the court room. The only signlhcant
fact about the evidence yesterday was the
admission by the defendant that he expect
ed to get quarter interest in the New YORK
railroad in return for raising the money for
the enterprise. He insisted, however, that
he was not figuring for his own benefit
but to let himself out of the hole into which
he had plunged his bondsmen. The case
will be argued to the jury today, and per
haps go 10 the jury this evening, although
it is probable that they will not be charged
until morning.
