DIED IN THE LOOKUP.


Frank Francis, an OldtoWn Indian died
in the tramps' cell under Hancock hall
Sunday night. Rumors of poisoning and
suicide were rife when the news of the
death was first heard, but the autopsy
dispelled these sensational stories. Death
WAS due to heart disease.
Francis came to Ellsworth from Bucks
port, and WAS on his way to Bar Harbor.
He had with him a stock of baskets
peddling. On Sunday he walked from
0rland to Ellsworth. Reaching here he
asked City Marshal Silvy to put him up
for the night. He was turned into the
cell with two tramps and the door WAS
locked.
The story of the night is told by the
tramps who shared the cell with Francis.
Between nine and ten in the evening the
Indian complained Of feeling sick. lie
became quiet again, but two hours later
was seized with another attack, and
seemed to be suffering great pain. When
City Marshal SiIvy arrived in the morn
ing DR.. Manning was summoned. The
Indian was then unconscious. Efforts
to revive him We're unsuccessful and he
died in h bout an hour.
Coroner D. l.. Fields uthorized TIE re-
moval OF the body 10 c. r. Fosters under
taking rooms, where a post mortem ex-
animation WAS made by Drs. Manning
and Mcdonald. They found that deal ii
was due to heart failure, and that the
disease had evidently been of long stand

was learned that no copy OF process was
on file at the jailor's office and Kelly was
taken before Judge Emery upon habeas
corpus, and upon hearing was disc harged
The plaintiff seeks to recover as damages
for the alleged neglect in receiving Kelly
without process, the amount of the exc
cution and such sums as were paid by him
for kelly's board before his discharge.
Defendants claim that Kelly had perfect
right to make a personal surrender, there
by fulfilling one OF the conditions OF the
bond, and that the jailor had right to re-
ceive him; and further, that the plaintiff
was notified OF Kelly's personal surrender,
and voluntarily paid his board while in
the jail. a. w. King, of this city, ap-
peared for the defendant. The action is
brought against the late Sheriff James
w. Patterson, but Sheriff l.. F. Hooper is
really the defendant.
A horse owned by George Gerry, of
West this week by order of the State
board of cattle commissioners. Dr. West
found the animal had the glanders. The
next day DR.. West found anothe horse in
the city affected with the same disease.
The case has been reported to the State
board. These are the first cases of CLAN
ders found in this vicinity for a long
time. Dr. West thinks there is very little
of it in this section of the State, and the
finding of two cases in the city within
week is strange coincidence.

James Armstrong Dies in His Lonely
Home on Happytown Road.
The body Of James c. Armstrong was
found Tuesday by neig pors at his home
on the lappytown road, where he lived
alone. The body was seated in chair,
and death had evidently been sudden.
Coroner Fields, of Ellsworth, was mott
fled, and with DR.. Manning he went to
the house. No autopsy was performed,
but from the appearance of the body Dr..
Manning believes death was due to heart
failure Armstrong had been OH pro-
longed debauch recently, and the disease
was probably superinduced by this. Cor
oner Fields deemed an inquest unneces-
sary.
Armstrong was forty-eight years OF
age. He had but one arm, and picked up
little money by peddling iniments and
essences about the western part of the
county.

THREE BANKS
HAVE CLOSED
10 st. Paul as a Result Of Failure Of
the Bank Of Minnesota.
THE FRIGHTENED DEPosTToRs
Make Lively Run for Their Money
and Cause a Panic-Fight Each
Other in the Lines.

st. Paul, January 4.-As direct re-
suit OF the closing Of the Bank Of MIN
nesota two weeks ago. which created
new distrust among depositors and
started runs on number OF city hanks
that were reputed not to be as strong
as depositors wished. three st. Paul
banks. the Germania, the AIIemania
and the West Side. one OF them ma
tionai institutions. all closely associat-
ed. closed their doors today. one being
In the hands OF the state bank examiner
and the others making assignments.
During the time that has intervened
since the closing Of the Bank Of Mime
sofa, the Germania paid out s2z5. ZOO to
frightened depositors and early today
the directors concluded they would stop
the drain and make an assignment TO
the cashier. Peter N. Kerst.
The AIlemania Bank. which like the
Germania, had large cllentage among
the Germans. and whose vice-presldent
had formerly been president OF the
Germania, then became a target for q
lively run. People crowded about the
doors and fairly fought for a place In
the line before the paying teIler's win
dow. The bank officials realized fully
what such a run meant and promptly
called on the bank examiner to take
possession Of the bank. and that Official
is now In charge
The West Side Bank. a small but
possibly stronger bank, cleared through
the Allemania and today It's ciearings
were returned by the latter institution
Following this there was a decired
run inaugurated on the bank and at
2 O'Clock this afternoon the bank offi-
cials closed the doors and called =
meeting Of the directors to decide what
action to take. Their decision was ap-
parent late in the afternoon when they
filed deed Of assignment to Cashier
Staples. president Of the bank. Consid-
cradle public money is tied up In the
three institutions.
Owing to the excitement caused by
the closing Of the Germania and Allie

went after their money at one or two
other banks. the Minnesota Savings

SEVERE SNOW STORM.

Omaha, January 4.-up to midnight
there has been little abatement in the
fury of the storm that has ragged in
this section for sixty hours. Snow has
ceased falling. but the wind still blows
a gale and the temperature Is very low.
Reports from the state indicate only
a partial blockade. Trains on the I'm
ion Pacific, Burlington, Elkhorn and
Rock Island roads west are moving
slowly but within one or two hours of
schedule time. The Omaha line is COM
pletely tied up, drifts in the northern
part of the state being such that the
road could not be opened while the
storm ragged. Branch lines suffered
greatly, nearly all being blocked. So
far there has been no loss Of life.
