MYSTERIOUS DOUBLE MURDER.
Two Small Children Killed, PossibI!
by Their Father.

OCONOWOC, Wis, Nov. 20.-A mys-
ferrous and shocking tragedy was com
nitted at this place some time be-
tween 10 o'clock last night and o'clock
this morning, at the family residence
of Ernest Cornell on Oak street Two
little children, Willie Cornell, aged six,
and Lille, aged four, were found dead
with their threats cut, and Ernest
Cornell, their father, was lying on the
floor with a cash across his throat,
Which extended from ear to ear. Cor
nell is still living and was able to make
a statement after his throat was seWed
up. He said that a man named Lewis,
a horse skinner, had come to his house
last night and induced him to drink q
lot Of whisky, and that after drink
ing the liquor he started to read a
newspaper, but soon lost consciousness
and knew nothing more until he was
awakened by the clock striking>at $50
this morning. An additional statement
from Cornell is that Lewis has been
boarding with him for some weeks and
that his (COrnelPs) wife and Lewis were
together much of the time Cornell said
| that last evening he asked his wife not
| to Leave the house with Lewis, but
| that she refused and went in spite of
| his entreaties.
When Mrs. Cornell entered the house
this morning she expressed great sur
pms CT Iilc COilulllOn Oh cornell, ana
later appeared greatly shocked when
she beheld the two children.
Early this morning Lewis told George
Shepherd that Cornell was dead and
Shepherd went to the house to investi-
gate, finding the children dead and the
father badly injured. Later Deputy
Sheriff Palmer arrested Lewis. The
coroner's jury started an investigation,
but adjourned until Monday when the
inquest will be resumed
There were four children in the Cor
neil family, the two still living being
Mrs. Cornells by previous marriage,
and the murdered ones children of the
present union. The bodies are still at
the house, where they have been viewed
by hundreds of curious people The
news of the murder has created great
excitement in the city and surrounding
country. The general opinion is that
Cornell killed the children and then at
tempted to commit suicide, because of
his domestic troubles.
Sheriff Palmer stated this afternoon.
that, after making a partial inVestiga-
ton of the murder. he was unable to
decide who killed the two children and
injured the father. Il was notified Of
the affair."" said the sheriff, "by neigh
bors, who were summoned by Lewis.
The discovery of the murder was made

WISCONSIN CENTRAL's SLASH HAS
STIRRED UP THE CHICAGO
ST. PAUL LINES.
CONFERENCE IN CHICAGO
YESTERDAY TO ENDEAFOR TO
SWING THE CENTRAL BACK
INTO LINE.
TT HAD NOT BEEN SUCCESSFUL
At the Latest Report Received From
the Windy City-Other Rail-
road News.

CHICAGO, Nov. 20.-The Chicago
st. Paul roads met today with the
members Of the executive committee
of the Western Passenger association,
for the purpose of considering the re-
duction made yesterday by the Wis
consin Central in the rates between
st. Paul, Minneapolis and Chicago. AS
the cut stands the cut rEade by the
Wisconsin Central affects all transcon-
tinental rates, those through the Mis-
souri, river gateWays as we'll as through
st. Paul. The reductions in the
through rates are sufficient to allow a
scalp in the rates, if the Missouri river
lines attempt to keep the rates upon
their present basis, and this will mean
decentralization all through the terri
tory of the Western Passenger associ-
alton. The strongest kind of pressure
was brought to bear upon the WiscOn-
sin Central to induce it to withdraw
the rates it made yesterday, but up to
a late hour this afternoon, it had de-
clined to do so. 1t affirmed that it had
not been treated fairly by it's competi-
tors, and that the latter had not in
some instances, observed their agree
nlents to maintain rates, and the only
way it had of fighting their secret re-
auctions was to come out openly and
reduce rates. It was admitted at the
meeting that passenger affairs in the
West had reached a crisis, and that if
the Wisconsin Central and the other
roads, which have met its reduction,
cannot be induced to restore rates, it
is more than likely that there will be
a general rate war all over the West
and particularly in the territory of the
Western Passenger association.

Gov. Briggs Doesn't Know What to
Do With IN Alleged Murderer.

BISMARCK, N. D., Nov. 20.-Sheriff
SerVern and States Attorney Baldwin,
Of Stutsman county, are in consulta-
ton with the governor today, regarding
the removal of the prisoner, NJ. j. Viii
lers, from the state penitentiary to be
tried at jamestown, on a charge Of
murder. Villers has been accused by
a cOroner's jury of the murder of Aug
ust Tromer, and warrant has been
issued by Judge Glaspell for his ar
rest, and the judge also makes a re-
quest of the governor for the return
of the man to jamestown, but there
is no provision in the law of the state
for such proceeding and the governor
does not see how the man can be re-
leased from the penitentiary unless
pardoned In that case, if the charge
of murder failed to be proved, Villers
could not be brought back to
serve out the remainder of his term
for assault, under which he is now
confined. his sentence not expiring for
seven years yet. This is the first case
of the kind that has arisen in the
state, and no decision has been render
ed by the governor, who is consulting
state legal authorities with regard to
the matter. The warden of the state
penitentiary cannot release the man
upon any order but one for which there
is lawful authority, and a pardon
seems to be the only one that will meet
the rp0IIirementS

10th ARE DOOMED.
Defender and Black Hawk VIII Die
LIE I,iherRteA.

BISMARCK, n. D., Nov. 20.-If it
IS true that COudot, the lynched man
at Wili,amsport, was innocent, there
IS no reason to believe that either Black
Hawk or Defender, who are in jail here
for the same crime, are guilty, for they
are implicated on the same confessions
But there is no abatement OF the teei-
ING against them. They will apply to
the court for protection, no doubt, when
the case against them is dismissed,
as they will be. 1t is freely predicted
thai they will never escape alive. They
have been brought back from the state
penitentiary, and are lodged again III
Jail. now that the first excitement has
blown over. 1t is predicted that if they
escape hanging by Judge Lynch they
will be openly shot down. This may
be an exaggerated statement, but
shows the bitterness against them, and
the settled belief in all this country Of
the guilt of all five accused.
The testimony upon which is baSec
the asseI ton that CoUdot was innocent,
is that Of DR.. Ross, agency physician
at Standing Rock, who testified upon
the stand that he was at the home OF
COudot on the day Of the murder, and
that COudOt was present at that time
and acted as interpreter for him. This
testimony, if it had not been 1mpeach-
ed. must have acquitted him. DR.. Ross
ing a memorandum book, in which
the fact of the visit was noted, with
the date. Here again was additional
proof unless the statement of. the doc
tor could be impeached.
Upon the examination he ad-
mitted that he had stated. only few
days after the murder that he had
been at the home of Coudot on the day
of the murder, and that Coudot was
NOT there DR. Ross explained his bet
ter memory at a date two or three
months later by saying that at the time
he had made this previous statement
he had not consulted his memorandum
book, which was lost at the time and
was not found untSl just a few days
before the trial Bun it is not noted in
the memorandum book thatCoudot was
at home at the time of the visit The
only fact shown there is that the doc
tor visited his house. Consequently
the jury was not impressed with the
strength of the alibi.
