AN INNOCENT MAN LYNCHED
Startling Statement Made by a Su-
preme Court Justice.

GRAND FORKS On. ID, Nov. 10
can innocent man was hung by lynch
ers at Williamsport," was the startling
statement made to-day by Chief
Justice Corliss of the State Supreme
Court.
II have ample evidence to confirm
this statement" continued the Judge.
'.The Supreme Court ordered a new
trial in Coudet's case, because 1t ap-
peared that he was convicted on the
uncorroborated evidence of Holytrac *
and Ireland. both of whom confessed
to taking part in the murder of the
Spicer family, and whose statements
were refuted by the strong alibi testl-
monv given by DIR. Ross, the resident
agency physician at Standing Rock.
DR. Ross veracity is unquestdoned. and
his testimony is supported by notes
from his memorandum book.
Another fact is that Holytrack ana
Ireland made two other previous con-
fessions. in neither of which did they
implicate Coudet. Holytrack and Ire
land were sure to have explated thelr
crime on the gallows. as there is no
question of their guilt, but the mob
made no distinction, and hung the in
nocent with the guilty.
.'The lynching of Coudet is foul
crime, and a blot on the fair name OF
the State, and his murderers should
not go unpunished."

Long Threatened Contest Over the
Trust VIII Begun.
Charged That 1t Was Executed as the
Result Of Misrepresentation.
Charles L. Fair Begins Proceedings
to Have the Testament Be-
queathing the Property to q
Trust Declared Invalid.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 15.-Charles
l.. Fairs long-threatened contest of his
fathers will, commonly known as the
trust will, was formally begun in the
Superior Court to-day.
Thepetition recites that James G.. Fair
died in San Francisco on December rs,
1894, leaving an estate valued at over
lO,0O0, 600; that at the time of his
death he was unmarried, as his wife,
Theresa Fair, had died on September
IL, 1891, and that the heirs We're the
petitioner and his sisters. Mrs. There
sa A. Oelrichs and Miss Virginia Fair.
1t is charged that the will was exc
cuted as the result of fraud and mis-
representation The provision to de-
prive Or all Inheritance any legatee who
should contest the will was inserted, it
is said, because designing persons told
James G.. Fair that his children had
declared that they would break any
will he might make, and that at the
time OF the making of the will he was
suffering from Bright's disease and
other physical disorders, was physical
ly and mentally weak and susceptible
to prejudice and to the articles of de-
signing persons.

A PREACHER STABBED.
Rev. Hugo Stubenvon Fatally
Wounded at Racine, Wis.

RACINE CWis.), Nov. 15.-Rev. HUI
go Stubenvoll, pastor of st. Paul's Ger
man Lutheran Church, was stabbed in
tie abdomen by an unknown masked
assassin late Saturday night, as he was
entering his door yard, after leaving a
concert at the church. Though it is
thought he cannot recover. the pastor
has tried to suppress the affair, as it
was against his protests that his friends
notified the police. Policemen were call
ed to the church on Saturday night to
drive away a crowd of boys who were
disturbing the concert. but it is not
known that any of these assailed the
preacher.

by the Government officials at Nogales,
Ariz., and an equally curious action has
been taken to suppress it.
On May 9th last land about Nogales
was declared subject to entry, and
among those who took advantage of
the right was man who made a town.
site selection directly on the interna-
tional border line, and Immediately
erected a house thereon with doors on
both siGes.
By this means, according to official
reports, the laws would be evaded by
backing up wagons laden with Mexi-
can goods to the rear door of the
house, which did not require crossing
the line. The goods were then taken
out of the door on the American side
and carried away. The case was re-
ported by the Collector of Customs,
and he asked that no townsite be al
lowed unless there was street set
apart along the border to prevent this
evasion.
The General Land Office has acted on
this proposition, and the President has
| made reservation Of a strip of land
sixty feet wide and two miles long
at Nogales, which, it is hoped, will Sc
cure to the Government it's custom
dues. The necessary surveys for the
purpose are being made.

WRECK OF THE RUTHERGLEN.
FURTHER PARTICULARS OF
THE MARINE DISASTER.
The Grew of the Steamer Rescued
With Much Difficulty by
Norwegian Bark.

QUEENSTOWN, Nov. 15.-Particu-
lars have just been received of the wreck
OF the British steamer Rutherglen,
Captain English, from New York on Oc-
tober 26th for Plymouth, which, as
cabled exclusively to the Associated
Press on Saturday afternoon last, foun-
dered when $50 miles west of Fastnet.
Her crew was picked up by the Nor
wegian bark Hermanos, and reached
Crooks Haven. twenty-on one miles from
Skibbereen, on Saturday.
The Rutherglen. il is added, after
leaving New York, encountered a series
Of gales which raised mountainous seas.
The steamer labored so heavily that her
cargo shifted, but the crew was able to
right her for time, until she was
thrown upon her beam ends. Her cargo
shifted again, and she listed SO much
that her sails, set to steady her, We're
sometimes submerged.
Matters went from bad to worse, until
on Tuesday the steamer was filling with
water when she was sighted by the Her
manoS, which vessel Immediately
headed toward her.
1t was decided to abandon the Ruth
erglen, and Captain English tried to
lower away a lifeboat. Two lifeboats
We're smashed against the steamers side
and washed away before any success
attended his efforts. The third life boat
succeeded in getting away from the
steamer, but was stove in and sank just
as it ran alongside the bark. Happily
all the struggling men were hauled on
board the Hermanos, and were subse-
quently, with the rest Of the crew, landed
at Crooks Haven, from which place they
were forwarded to this city
The boats of the Hermanos made five
trips before all the members or the
Rutherglen's crew were rescued. Some
idea of the difficulty of this task may
be gathered from the fact that 1T took
nine hours to rescue all of the crew OF
the British steamer. The latter num-
bered twenty-eight men.
Captain English reports that on wed
resday. after leaving New YORK, an
eastbound Hamburg steamer, with a
green and white funnel, was asked 10
take off the crew of the Rutherglen,
but refused even TO stop.
The Hermanos was outward bound 10
Martinique. but she was obliged to put
into Crooks Haven in order to land the
ShipWrecked crew.

The Crime Committed in a Saloon in the
. Heart of BarbaU Coast.
James Tanning Stabbed Nine Times
by James Austin, Living but
Short Time After the ARRAY,
and George Follmer So Severely
Cut That He Lies lowering Be-
tween Life and Death.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. ia muir
Ger most wanton was committed at an
early hour this morning in the very
heart of the Barbary Coast.
James Austin, an ex-convict, hacked
and slashed James Tanning no less
than nine times with dirk knife, cut
ting him so terribly that ne died less
than half an hour later in the Ferry
Receiving Hospital, whittier the wound
ed man had been conveyed for treat
ment.
The stabbing affray occurred in a
saloon known as the "City of Gutten-
berg" located on the northeast corner
of Jackson and Kearny streets. AT
about o'clock this morning, Tanning,
Follmer and Austin entered the place
in company with a woman named Liz
zie Zimmerman. The men were all
more or less under the influence or
liquor and walked up to the bar, where
they had several rounds of drinks. The
woman stood few feet distant. In the
course of the conversation Austin
made some disparaging remark con-
cerning the woman. Just what he said
no one now recalls, but at all events,
flaming resented it, and, growing
angry, shouted, with an oath:
Don't you abuse that woman; I'll
take her part
Immediately Austin drew a knife and
replied that he was ready for a hight,
being afraid of no man on earth.
Quickly he advanced and stabbed
Tanning in the neck. The latter closed
in on his opponent and endeavored to
wrest the knife from him. His efforts
were unavailing, and a short but terri
BILE struggle took place in the grim and
dingy barroom. Austin lashed out with
desperate fury, and Follmer, at
tempting to rescue his companion, was
also severely wounded.
Rarkeeper Robert Johnson blew his
police whistle, and Officers j. II. Crow
ley and Freil responded. placing Austin
under arrest. The ambulance was sum-
1noned and the wounded men conveyed
to the city front Receiving Hospital,
where they We're treated by Drs. Deas
and Zabala.
AT 6:30 a. m. Tanning expired, and
his body was conveyed to the Morgue
by Deputy Coroners Tyrell and Smith
The physicians express the hope that
Follmer, will recover, though he is very
weak from loss of blood. He has a deep
wound on the right forehead about four
or five inches in length, extending 10
the ear. Just below this is another cut
on the neck about three inches In
length. Follmer also had severe
wound on the back of the left hand
AS indicative of the desperate char
acter of Austin it may be stated that
he cut Tanning on the left side of the
neck. on the left shoulder, the left upper
arm, the left elbow, on the right shoul-
der. both in the rear and in front, and
severely lacerated both the thumb and
forefinger on the right hand.
Austin formerly lived with the Zim-
norman woman. but some time ago,
when he was sent to San Quentin, she
took M her abode with Tanning at so
Kea,,nv street Tanning leaves a

PAST GRAND MASTER.
A Report That Sovereign Is to be
Candidate for President Denied.

LOUISVILLE, Nov. 15.-The morning
session of the knights of Labor was
devoted to the discussion of the report
of the Committee on immigration. 1t
was the prevailing sentiment that some
vigorous steps should be taken to re-
strict immigration, and statistics were
presented showing that nearly 10000
600 foreign laborers had come to this
country during the last twenty-three
years, all Of which, it was claimed,
worked a hardship on the American
workingman.
The report that Past Grand Master
Sovereign had stepped down because
he desired to fix his plans for the Pres
idency on a labor reform ticket in 1900
was vigorously denied on all sides
Mr.. Sovereign has no such ideas" :"
said one Of his closest advisors this
morning, land there is no truth in it.
If the Presidency were offered him
suppose he would accept it, as almost
any other man would do. and the K of
L. would glory in him. He had no d."
signs on the Presidential chair. His
resignation was solely for the purpose
of giving him more time and broader
and wider field in which to work for
the upbuilding and strengthening of
the cause in which he is so greatly in
terested.''
AT the afternoon session it was
voted unanimously to set apart the
last Sunday in June as labor memorial
day This day will be observed by all
the district assemblies in the United
States. 1t was expressly stated that
the day should not be regarded in the
light of holiday. 1t was fixed upon
Sunday especially so it could not be
made holiday, with it's attendant fes-
tivitias.
During the rest of the afternoon a
number of minor matters were disposed
of, which related purely to the order
The report of the Committee on FL
nance was received. This committee
had made an examination of the books
Of the order, and found everything to
be in first-class shape.

on fire since yesterday morning, an
nounce tonight that the situation is
much improved, inasmuch as they have
succeeded in carrying lines of steam
pipes to Within a short distance of the
fire, and hope in a few hours more to
be playing upon it.
Outsiders, however, take a different
view Of the situation. Already the
gas has permeated the workings in the
various mines on Smuggler Mountain
for two miles to the north of the Snug
gler shaft, and 800 men have been driv-
en- out and two or three times thar
number will have to quit work if the
fire is noe quenched.
The feeling here is very gloomy, as
it is believed a long shut down of the
principal mines of the camp is certain
to occur.
