BECOMES INSANE EN- ROUTE

RANCH NEAR MILES CITY,
= MONT.
FEAR THAI HE WOULD SUICIDE
Leads to the Placing of Careful
Watch Over the Desperate
Man.

Anton Kieber, a sheep hertler from
Miles City, Mont, arriving in 81. Faul
over the Northern Pacific road ut GAO
last evening en- route to his home at
Grantsberg, To-, was TAX en- violently in
sane at the union depot, requiring the
combined efforts of four polio: men to
safely lodge. him in the county Jail.
In attempting to place l\ieber in cell
at the jail Deputy Sheriff George AL
len was bitten in the hand Ivy the
Infatuated man, though his injury is
more painful than serious.
Kleber is a young man, over six feet
tall, and of muscular build, which
made the task of handling him, when
aided by the supernatural strength Of
insanity, a difficult and dangerous task.
lie first showed signs Of mental de-
rangement when the train stopped in
Minneapolis by strangely refusing to
get aboard when it started again,
though persisting that he must get to
st. Paul. AS the train pulled into the
depot In this city Conductor COrcoran
started to assist Kieber through the
sheds, when he was suddenly feIled to
the ground by vicious blow in the
face Officer Mccall was called TO the
scene in time tC see Kieber jump en- a
moving Northwestern train starting
for Chicago and pulled the man from
the platform. He raved and begged
not to be killed, appearing to be labor
ing under the, halIucination hat some
one was seeking his life.
After Oficer1 Mccall had somewhat
Gained the Violent man by assuring
him that he would come .tC no harm,
Kieber willingly accompanied him into
the depot, but scarcely was he inside
the door whem7hez4again began. a wild
struggle for freedom, which continued
in the presence Of a large :rowd of
spectators until the patrol box was
reached. While, waiting for The wagon
several citizens assisted officer Nc
Call in holding -Kfeber. The sight of
the patrol made a veritable demon of
the insane man. AS it started for the
station he bodily lifted one of The Of
ficers and tossed him to the ground.
Sergeant Joe Heating grabbed the fell
low as he was about to leap from the
wagon, and though a strong man,
weighing 235 pounds, he had an almost
impossible task in holding kieber I'M
til he could be. handcuffed Even in
this condition the frenZied man fought
with renewed strength all the way to
the Jail, tossing. his captors about like
children, although, unable to escape by
reason OF theirrnumber. At the Jail

placing KieberL in a cell, but until he
was tripped and thrown to the floor
they could not themselves escape from
his mad embrace and lock the door.
During the struggle Kieber begged to
be allowed to live but two hours, and
as long rope was found in his pocket
it is thought he contemplated hanging
himself at the expiration of this time.

LIND WILL TRY AGAIN.
Jury in His Libel Suit Was Unable
to Agree.

The jury in the John Lind libel suit
after being out twenty-four hours fail
ed, as anticipated in the Globe. to
agree upon verdict. They so report
ed to Judge Bum yesterday forenoon
and thereupon discharged.
1t was learned that nine members
Of the jury were in favor of giving
Mr. Lind verdict for $1,000. whereas
the most that the remaining three
would allow was $500. One Of the
Jurors disputes this statement He
says that on the first ballot eight
Jurors favored a verdict for the plain
tiff ranging anywhere from 81 900 to
$4,000 One wanted to return a YER
dict for $4,000, while three thought
that 500 would be amply sufficient.
The second ballot, according to the
same authority, resulted in one vote
for $4,000 damages for Lind nine votes
for sums ranging from 81 900 upwards
and two votes for a verdict of 81 for
Mr.. Lind.
Mr.. Lind will bring the case to trial
again and it will probably come up

NAME OF PEARLS,
Abort Five Thousand Small Ones
Can BE Bought for 50.

From the Philadelphia Times.
Pearls are named according to their
size. The very large are called para
gon pearls: when the size of a cherry,
cherry pearls; medium are called piece
pearls; smallest, dust pearls. The oval
and long are termed pear pearls while
badly formed specimens are known as
baroques. The value of pearls varies.
of course. with the quality and gem
eral colors, but the piece, seed and
dust pearls always have a market
price.
The cherry and paragon are sold on
an entirely different basis. If MANY
fine ones are on the market at a time.
they may he had at reasonable rates.
Some years they bring almost any
price. The last two years, especially.
the dealers say, there has been a great
scarcity of fine pearls, although there
is no falling off in the supply of the
small stun.
When a pearl exceeds one karat in
weight it is sold separately. Under
that weight they are sold in parcels,
and become less valuable as they be-
come smaller. The smallest dust
pearls collected average about 5000 TO
the troy ounce, and are at present
rated at about 50 per ounce. If. on the
contrary, one paragon Weighing an
ounce Cor $50 karats) was on sale. il
would bring any amount from $50, 900
to 100000, according to quality.

CLEMMER CONFESSES
COMMITTING MURDER
After Being Tracked TO Newark, lie
Acknowledges Having Killed Mrs.
Emma Kaiser.

Newark, n. J., Nov. 26-James \.
Clemmer, Of Norristown, Pa, was ar
rested here this afternoon on the
charge of murder, and after being
taken to police headquarters he admit
ted his guilt.
on oct. &C. 1896, Mrs. Emma Z. Kais-
er went driving in company with her
husband, Charles o. Kaiser, James A.
Clemmer and Elizabeth L. DeKalb.
The start was made from the Kaiser
homestead early in the morning and
that was the last seen alive of Mrs.
Kaiser in Norristown. Mrs Kaiser had
not lived with her husband for some
time previously, but she had placed a
$4,000 insurance policy on her life. and
this accounted later to the police for
the interest her husband took in her.
On the same day Kaiser, Clemmer and
the DeKalb woman returned with Mrs.
Kaiser's dead body. They told a story
of having been waylaid by highway
men, Mrs. Kaiser being shot dead, and
Kaiser himself being slightly wounded
in the arm. The story was not be-
lieVed, and Kaiser was arrested and
Clemmer and the woman made their
escape. Kaiser was eventually tried,
convicted and sentenced to death. The
DeKalb woman was arrested two weeks
ago and will have a hearing on Decem-
ber 20.
The first the Newark authorities
knew of the presence of 'Clemmer in
| this city was when they received in
structions from James A. Strasburger,
| district attorney Of Columbia county,
Pa, to arrest him. A personal had
been inserted in a New York paper
| purporting TO be from the DeKalb
woman. Clemmer was a victim of the
| decoy and responded with letter
| which fell into the hands of the district
| attorney. Clemmer y7as then easily
! located. When he was arrested he
! took matters calmly and denied his
! guilt. He claimed that his name was
! Harry +. YOungs and that he knew
nothing of the Norristown affair. AZ
ter being taken to police headquarters
he was searched and the police found
on him a roll of clippings from news
papers containing a full account of the
Kaiser murder, including the trial and
conviction of Kaiser Clemmer weak.
ened then and said:
I'm the man you want; I might as
well admit it,"
He offered to go to PENNSYLVANIA
without waiting requsition papers, buI
he will be held until the proper step,
have been taken for his extradition.

A SLY FOX THIS ONE.
Got on without a Chase by Digging
Out of His Pen.

Phoenixville, Pa, Nov. 26.-The chase
arranged for today by the Birchrlm-
willie Hunt had to be postponed for the
want of a fox. A fine specimen was in
keeping, but last night dug out of his
pen. and this morning the dogs were
unable to find the trail. Two foxes less
sly, however, afforded amusement for
the hunters of this vicinity, and for a
time parallelcd each other In the chase,
within hearing distance of the riders
of both hunts.
a fox dropped at the Perkiomen
Bridge hotel led riders and hounds a
two hours chase, and took to earth
in time to save his brush. Darlington
Davis was master of hounds.
The hills of historic Valley Forge
resounded with the baying of fifty
hounds, following a fox dropped at
the Valley Forge hotel by the Wash
ington Hunt. Reynard gave riders and
dogs short, stiff chase, which he
terminated by Unexpectedly taking to
earth. The master Of hounds was John
l.. Hoy.

TROLLEY CARS USED TO CHURN
Way an Ingenious Kansas MiIkman
Makes His Butter.

From the Philadelphia Press.
A unique utilization Of railway car
vibrations is reported from a packing
house center in Kansas The roadbed
of the local trolley line is not of the
best and it occurred to the milkman,
who had been pretty well banged about
by the lively oscillation of the car on
which he was riding, that there was
enough power going to waste to work
n set of capacious churns. He tried
the experiment and found that it
worked to a charm.
Now, the ownors OF the COWS in the
vicinity of packing houses i'm the city
set their churns on the front end of q
car. one round trip is almost more
than enough to do the work. and the
motorman takes buttermilk i'm pay
ment for the mechanical agitation inn
