of the manner OF his death have been
received, but from a letter to his
brother, DR.. Arthur Thorpe, of this
city, received about a month ago,
probable motive for his murder is
found Young Thorpe stated that, in
order to convince the Greeks of his
loyalty to their cause, doubts having
been expressed by them, he dug up the
body of a Turkish soldier, and, with
the skull to which the Fee still ad-
hered under his arm, paraded through
the streets of the city where he was
residing. The Greeks received him
with applause, and from that time on
lonized him. 1t is believed that this
act enraged the Turks, who probably
avenged themselves by killing him.
Thorpe was twenty-five years old, and
the son of wealthy parents residing
- Morris, MINI. He was exceptionally
bright, but possessed of an adventur-
Gus spirit, and this led him to the seat
of war against the advice of friends.
He was formerly at the Annapolis
academy, but was compelled to leave
that institution on account of failing
health two years before his graduation.

officer Tom Garvin made a clever
arrest of two burglars at an early hour
yesterday morning. The officer was

Mr. Abrams swore out a complaint
and the two prisoners, who gave the
names of George Clark and George
Smith, were arraigned in the police
court. Clark admitted the charge, but
explained that Smith was in no way
responsible. Smith had been drawn
into the trouble innocently. They had
just come to this city from st. Paul
and to the SANITY City from Chicago.
They were Englishmen. Judge Kerr
bound each over to the grand jury in
$500 bail.

SUPERIOR A CORN MARKET.
minneapolis Scheme to Divert the
Nebraska Cereal From Chicago.

minneapolis Scheme to Divert the
Nebraska Cereal From Chicago.
A special from West Superior, Wis,
says: There is to be change in the
method of handling the corn crop this
year, unless all indications fail. and
it will deprive Chicago of the benz
fits accruing from the millions of BUSH
els of this cereal going through that
port. Chicago's loss is Superior's gain,
for it is the intention of some of the
biggest operators to divert the corn
crop to Superior and the head OF the
lake this fall. The prime factor in
this movement is F. H. Peavey, Of
Minneapolis, and his associates. They
have been enabled to make the altera-
ton through the changing of the ba-
sis of rail rates to the lake ports. The
Omaha has been the chief factor in
this Last winter it put out new
tariff sheet which adjusted rates and
left it so that there was no longer q
discrimination in favor of Chicago.
Although a longer haul than to Su-
perior Chicago had the lowest rate,
and there was no choice but Tor the
elevator companies to send the corn
that way for Buffalo. The rate to
Southwestern corn points is now IL an.
10 cents per 100 pounds, reduction OF
several cents, while the same points
to Chicago have to pay Is to % cents,
a decided difference.
The agents of the Peavey interests,
the Globe and Belt line elevators III
Superior and elsewhere throughout
the country, are now in the open mar
ket taking all of the corn that is Of
fered. They are paying the Chicago
price and shipping it through to Supe-
rior. This will result in making Supe-
rior known more than ever as mar
ket for coarse grains.

his vote and went with Directors
Hicks, Schlener and Crays in favor of

Quinby, Pratt and Peavey opposed it.
Director Peavey made, an explana-
ton of the situation. He said that
while there might have been irregu-
larity in the boards action, there was
no illegality. City Attorney Healy ex-
planned the technical objection to the
boards course and intimated that the
courts might overthrow it. After a
desultory discussion, Director Hicks
moved to reconsider the action of the
board.
In their anxiety to have all their
proceedings regular and legal the di-
rectors had quite a discussion. Before
taking action Director, Peavey inquired
from the city attorney the liability of
the city in case the firm to which the
contract had been awarded han on

adoption of the Curtiss system. The
vote was then taken and announced.

HAD CHEAP LIGHT,
But He May Change His Mind After
the Court Fixes the Price.

Charles Chamberlain was arraigned
in the police court yesterday, charged
with maliciously making connection
with an electric wire. The prosecution
is the first case brought under the law
passed during the last legislature
making it a misdemeanor to tap or
make a connection with an electric
wire The complaint was sworn out
by A. M. Robertson, of the Mlnneapo-
lis General Electric company.
According to the story told by Mr..
Robertson, Mr.. Chamberlain some time
ago ordered the electric light which he
had in his office at II Washington ave-
nue. north. removed. The company
complied with his request, but allowed
the wires to remain in the building. A
few days ago they found out that
Chamberlain had been Dragging about
having electric light and yet saving
about 81 per month. An investigation
followed, and the complaint was issued
by the county attorney.
Chamberlain was held in 500 bonds
until Sept s, when the case will be
brought to trial

mark The constable placed Wilson
under arrest. at Jansen's complaint
and he was sent to the county Jail for
ninety days.
Two men who testified against Will
son inIthe examination recognized in him
the fellow whom they had last seen
with a man answering Duscharms'
description the night of his disappear
ance. At that time there was a fight
between two different parties of
tramps midway between Hopkins and
the poor farm, and prior to the dis
turbance the two witnesses remember
to have seen Wilson go off with a
cripple who is believed to have been
Duscharms. Wilson came back, but
nothing more was seen of his compan-
ion. A number of shots were ex-
changed during the melee and Dus-
charms received three in the head
Examination showed that the holes in
the skull were made by 38-calibre re-
VOlVer.
The witnesses conided their suspic-
ions to the constable Friday. and from
what he knows of the case he is con-
WINGED that Wilson is the man wanted
A strong piece of evidence against him
is the fact that the revolver taken
from him when he tried to shoot Jan
sen was a 38-calibre affair, out of
which three bullets were missing.
Two shots were fired at Jansen, and
the other. it is thought, may have been
fired at Duscharms.
The constable came into Minneapolis
and after laying the facts before Su-
perintendent of Police Smith, was di-
rected to the county attorney. After
hearing the story the latter instructed
the constable to secure affidavits from
the two witnesses, and if they are will
ing to swear to what they have re-
lated, warrant charging Wilson with
the murder will probably be issued.
Wilson is a well built, dark complect-
ed man and is thirty-seven years
of age.

MANKATO, Mimi, Sept. 4. The
Blue Earth county fair at Garden City
closed yesterday. 1t was unusually
successful. There were large exhibits
of everything except hogs, which were
forbidden on account of cholera.
The event of the fair occurred yes
terday afternoon, when Mrs. Mary Ell
len Lease and Gen. j. H. Baker ran
afoul of each other on the speakers
stand. Mrs. Lease arrived, fresh from
New York, to fill her engagement, but
disclaimed having had previous notice
that she was not to talk upon politics,
and begged to be excused if she went
into that subject. She did go into
politics, and severely berated the
money power. and claimed that the
last campaign was the most corrupt
ever known. She pointed to Senator
Hanna as an instance of man who
had bought his way into public office,
and said that President Mckinley had
made place for Senator Sherman in
order that his friend Hanna might get
into the senate She referred to Sec
rotary Sherman as Senile and untitled
by age for his present office.
Gen. Baker was next introduced, and
warmly and eloquently defended his
lifelong friend, Secretary Sherman,
from the assault of Mrs. Lease. and
incidentally referred several times to
her in a manner not altogether COM
plimentary While he was speaking,
Mrs Lease removed her hat and jack
ct, which she had donned on taking
her seat, and when he closed she rose
and proceeded to administer a severe
tongue flashing to the general whom
she referred to as her Republican
Populist-Democratic friend, whom l
hardly know how to classify She
said that the last time they had spok-
en- from the same stage he had eX-
pounded Populist doctrine which he
was now repudiating. Gen. Baker re-
piled by denying Mrs. Leases state
ment. Mrs. Lease then arose in wrath.
and, walking to and fro about the
stand, pointed to several persons whom
she recognized as having attended the
meeting referred to year ago, and
called upon them to witness the truth
of her statements. They responded
that she was correct, and after some
further argument Gen. Baker left the
stand.

Notable Case Against Prominent
Loggers to he Taken Up.
One week from Monday Judge Loeb
rem and a jury will take up a case
which promises to be one of the most
notable ever tried in the Northwest.
The amount involved is the largest
ever brought before the United States
court in Minneapolis, and the case will
be closely watched by lumbermen, not
only on account of the immense in
terests involved, but because of the
bearing it will have. on similar cases
that have been or may be brought
The case is that of the United States
against the Pine River Logging and
Improvement company, Joel j. BaSSett
and Will L. Bassett, co-partners, as
J. B. Bassett e Co., and John S. Pills
bury and c. A. Smith, co-partners, as
c. A. Smith & Co. The United States
sues the defendants for S467, 474.34, be-
ing the estimated value of 23,005,921
feet of logs alleged to have been cut
by them on 126 sections of land in the
Mississippi and Winnibigoshish In
dian reservations on the upper waters
of the Mississippi river, together with
the expenses of investigation.
The case is an old one, the timber
having been cut in the winter of 1912
and the papers first filed in the spring
of 1885, On trial by Judge Riner, then
sitting at Minneapolis, the case was
decided in favor Of the defendants on
pleadings. Being appealed to the
United States circuit court of appeals,
Judge Riner's decision was reversed.
and the case now comes up before
Judge Lochren for trial on the evil
dence. The court room will be made
picturesque by the appearance of a
number of Indians as witnesses. AS

treatment. She was clothed for some
time only in grain sacks, was starved
by a slow process and cruelty beaten.
At last she was beaten and locked in
the granary, and one day early this
week the poor little one was found
dead. One of her arms was broken
her body was covered with horrible
sores, and on her head was deep
wound which had been so poorly cared
for that it was infested with maggots.
Her death was due to starvation and
brutal treatment.
The neighbors commenced to investi-
gate, and as a result both Siegel and
his wife have been arrested, charged
with the crime 1t is said that there
is a clear case against them. 1t is
the most brutal case ever occurring in
this vicinity, and people were Mortified

BEMIDJ1, Mimi, Sept. 1.-The Be
midi Gun club was organized here
last week, with the following officers;
George McTaggart, president; G.. NJ.
Carson, secretary; j. p. Nygaard,
treasurer. The club at once ordered a
lot of sportman's shooting material,
and proposes to take a hand in the fall
hunting in Beltrami county. The
president of the club is the game war
den in this vicinity, and he proposes
to see that the law is enforced in every
particular.
There is every prospect of grand
moose hunt in this county the first
week in November, and Sheriff Ny
gard, the gamest moose hunter in
the county, is alarmed lest the term of
court at that time shall prevent his
going out with the hunters. The deer
hunters promise to be on hand early in
the season, and there is said to be no
lack of game for them. The wild rice
beds in the upper Mississippi are re-
ported to be injured, but there is more
fun in hunting one duck to the death
on this portion of the Father of
Waters than in taking 100 in Dakota.

LOGGING On THE CLEARWATER.
Millions of Feet of Timber Cut This
Winter.

Special to the Globe.
: BEMIDJI, Mimi, Sept. 4-Dwyer &
Long, logging for the Shevlin- Carpen-
ter Company on Clearwater river, will
run three camps the coming winter,
and S. C. Bagley, numbering for T. b.
Walker, will run four camps on the
same stream Together, they will get
out about 5O,OOO,0O0 feet of logs.
The Shevlin-Carpenter company has
contracted for the construction of a
logging railway to connect the pineries
of the Clearwater river with Red lake,
and the road will be put in this fall It
is thought the rails will be hauled in
from Steamboat Landing, via Walker
and this place, by wagon and boat.
The construction of this road will de-
prive Crookston mills of not less than
800, 100000 feet of pine. which would
otherwise have gone down the Clear
water to that place, but will now be
sawed at St Hilaire.
The John Steidl Lumber company,
of this place, has decided to build a
new mill on Lake Irving, being the
small lake attached to Lake Bemidji
by a neck of the Mississippi. The new
location is about forty rods west of
the present mill, and the new mill will
have an increased capacity of 10000
feet per day.
