Bismarck, n. D., June 14.-After be-

Cadotte murder case returned YER
dict of guilty. There was great eX-
element when the verdict was an
nounced and the court room was
crowded when the jury filed into the

the judge the foreman stated that the

verdict was announced. His attorneys
gave notice of a motion for q stay of

The murder for which CadOtte has

tragedies in the criminal annals of the

RUN DOWN BY AN ENGINE.
Philip Klein, n Painter, Is Instantly
Killed.

Killed.
st. Paul June 144.-Philip Klein, a
painter, was killed by a train on the
Duluth road at East st. Paul. There
is some doubt as to whether the fatal
ity was an accident or a suicide.
A man aged about fifty or tifty-five
years, apparently, was seen in the lit
tie depot at East ST Paul. Louis Pc
tersOn, the f1agman, noticed him lying
on a seat in the station, and when the
f1agman entered the stranger asked
him for drink of water. The fiagman
gave it to him, and after drinking, the
man started out, walking slowly along
the track. A few minutes later an eX-
ira freight train, composed of an en-
CINE and caboose, bound north, came
along, and about 200 feet east of the
station struck the man. The train was
going slow, as is shown by the fact
that it was stopped within fifty feet
after striking him. Coroner Nelson was
notified, and an examination showed
that the skull had been fractured,
but further than this no bones were
broken, nor even were there serious
bruises.

New York, June 10. + Peter Maher
and Tom Sharkey fought at the Pal
ace Athletic club for a $4,000 purse.
At the end of the seventh round tie
police interfered and the contest re-
suited in most unsatisfactory draw
Never in the history of the ring has
there been such an enormous attend
ance at q boxing bout in this vicinity.
There were about 10000 persons
squeezed into the building at One Hun
dred and Seventh street and Lexington
avenue.
Maher was big favorite, but there
seemed to be plenty of money on
Sharkey. The boxing was very tame
for five rounds, neither man showing
a mark. In the sixth round Sharkey,
with a well-directed straight right on
the mouth, sent Peter sprawling half
way through the ropes, where he strug-
gled for five seconds before he re-
gained his feet AS Maher was get
ting up Sharkey rushed toward him,
but was called back by Choynslxi, who
was evidently afraid that the sailor
might commit a foul. Ten seconds
later the gong ended the sixth round
and when Maher returned to his corner
he spat out a lot of blood. Sharkey's
friends, when they saw this, yelled
first blood for Sharkey," and there
was a great deal of cheering.
The seventh round was nearly com
pleted when Maher, after getting in
some good blows on Sharkey, sent the
latter to the floor near the ropes with
a left in the wind and a right swing
on the jaw. Tom was up again inside
of five seconds and rushed into a

grabbed MaheF. While he was trying
to pull the big fellow away Sharkey
swung his right on the seconds face,
dazing him. By this time the house
was in an uproar and there were cries
of foul from the partisans of both
men. The din was terrific, but was in
creased ten-fOld when Inspector Nc
Laughlin ordered the police to arrest
all those concerned in the fight. PO-
lcemen in uniforms swarmed into the
ring and a number of detectives also
climbed through he ropes. The princi-

arrest, and thea the seconds and ref

Colville had decided to call the bout a

good many, but according to the con-
ditions agreed upon by both men, the
judgment Of the referee was right and

as much of a puzzle as ever, and until

Attitude of the United States Causes
Anxiety mt Madrid.
London, June 12-The Madrid cor
respondent of the Standard says: The
Madrid papers re-echo the popular
anxiety and curiosity concerning the
attitude which the United States will
adopt in the face of recent events
The sensation caused by the reports of
a change of attitude increased when
it was announced that American tri-
bunals had acquitted filibusters who
had been stopped by an American
man-of-war. Much suppressed indig-
nation can be discerned between the
lines of press articles Of every shade
of opinion, bitterly resenting the idea
of American interference in Cuba
Everything shows that Spain is drift
ing again into strained relations with
the United States.
