The Bragg Mystery.

The mystery surrounding the shoot
ing OF Mrs. Caroline T. Bragg, tht
wealthy sister-in-law of General Brace
OF Wisconsin, at Chicago, seems fur :
ther from solution than ever. Mrs,
Bragg stoutly maintains that there
were no burglars, and that Josephine.
the adopted daughter, did not do the
shooting. The only chance for solving
the mystery is i'll tracing down the
purchaser of the pistol, which was q
new one. Thursday afternoon Mrs.
Bragg sent for her attorney and die
tated to him new will, leaving her
estate, valued at $50, 900, to j. W. and
VIM. Gallagher, of Ohio. In the new
document Mrs. Brsgg's explicit orders
are that Josephine's name shall not be
MENTIONED. The attorney says that
Mrs. Bragg refused to tell him any,
thing which would tend to solve the
mystery.

THE LAKE FRONT CASE.
Commissioner Lamorcaux's Decision
Reputliated.

Repudiated.
A sensational order, repudiating
acts of the general land Office in the

The land on which it was proposed to
locate claims by means of this scrip is
in the heart Of the city Of Chicago and
is immensely valuable, estimates Of its

to thirty million dollars. Judge
Lamoreaux left Washington D.

sensational Close of the Haney Case,
The trial Of e1-City Clerk Charles
+: Haney, of Minneapolis, Mimi, for
Offering bride of $500 to Alderman
Drew came TO a sudden and sensa-
tlonal termination last Saturday, the
court directing a verdict of &C.
9uittal. Alderman Drew, whose tes-
I'll t1mony was depended upon by the
State for conviction, refused on the
stand to connect Haney with the mat.
ter at all. He admitted finding in =
oook an envelope containing $500 and
addressed to him. He kept the money
ana used it, but protested ignorance
as as to who sent it or why it was sent.
i Inns evidence was directly contrary to
u that given before the grand jury when
the Indictment was found, when Drew
g gT he had been given $500 by
Haney for his vote in the paving con.
tracts. Judge Smith, in ordering the
verdict, scored Alderman Drew Sc
vereiy, declaring that he believed the
s3oo was bride. It must have been
mat u or larceny. He ordered the al
herman :.sold in $1,000 bonds to answer
20 Inc charge of perjury or larceny
