GILL WITNESS DEAD.
Serious Blow to the Case of the
State Against Nancy GuiIfOrd.

State Against Nancy GuiIfOrd.
BRIDGEPORT, Oct. 16.-The prfl-
oipaf witness against DR.. Nancy Gull
ford, the Bridgeport physician who is
under arrest in England on a charge
of having murdered young Emma Gill,
is dead.
This witness was David Heaphy, an
| assistant In Cullinane'S morgue IN
| bridgeport, where the dismembered
portions Of Emma Gill were finally
| identified.
During the excitement which followed
the finding OF the dismembered portions
of a woman's body in the Yellow Mill
pond near Bridgeport, on Sept IL last
and it's final Identification as being the
remains of Emma Gill, of Southington,
Conn, Heaphy's name was SELDOM men
toned in connection with the case.
That was because he had been re-
quested by the police not to talk; not
because he did not know anything. 1t
was what he told the police that first
led them to suspect DR.. Nancy Gull
ford. He it was who saw Emma Gill
taken into DR.. Guilford's house in
Bridgeport.
FIe saw the carriage in which it is
asserted the different porti ms of Emma
Gill's body were carried from the Gull
ford house to the Yellow Mill pond and
what is more, on that fateful Sunday
night he saw lights burning IN the
bathroom of the Guilford house at the
time at which the police say DIR. Gull
ford was cutting up the body OF Emma
Gill.
All these things Heaphy tod the po-
lice and they in turn gave the informa-
ton to States Attorney Fessenden. The
latter at once requested Heaphy to keep
quiet, as he did not want DR.. Nancy
to know all the eviderce he had aga nst
her, but it was Heaphy's evidence, sup
ported by that of young Harry Oxley,
who took Emma Gill to DR.. Nancy Gull
ford's, that Mr.. Fessenden relied upon
to ccTvct "Old Nance"
Heaphy died without warning, and
there was no chance to get his testi-
mony in the form of an affidavit.
Heaphy had charge of the funeral Of
Mrs. James Wade, in the Sacred Heart
church yesterday. He had just finish
ed directing the carrying of the body
up the aisle. and the services were
about to begin when, without a sign or
a word, Reaphy fell to the floor.
Now the state will be compelled to
rely almost entirely upon young Harry
OXley's testimony.

The fifth and final scoring will be
held at Omaha on Oct. 25. and 1t is
expected that the number of exhibits
from Minnesota will be fully as large
as the scoring last week.
This last scoring has demonstrated
that Minnesota can more than hold her
own with the conditions alike for all.
Heretofore it has been said that this
state had the advantage owing to the
ccCler weather here than in the states
further south. The climatic conditions
were practically the same in all states
at the time of this last scoring, but
Minnesota again ran away with the
first prizes.
The annual meeting of the Freeborn
County Dairymen's association was
held a week ago last Friday, and a
most interesting programme of talks
and papers on creamery subjects was
given. One of the most entertaining
papers was read by c. w. Stockwell.
of Clark Grove. His subject was
Care of Milk from the Cow to the
Creamery" He said:
There has been gr at deal written on
this subject and fer ali that we get a great

tics was under It's sway, and the church had
proved its power in defeating candidates in
imical to It's interests. Lorenzo Snow, the
present head of the Mormon church, Mrs.
McCuish characterized a shrewd, cunning
leader, who, with his followers held the
church to be pre-eminent over the United
States government.
Those who believed Mormonism a menace to
the country, Mrs McCuish said were trying
to destroy its influence by converting Nor
mons to other faiths. For this purpose mis-
sions were maintained in Utah which were
doing good work.

TALKED ON MORMONISM.
Mrs. j. ID. McCuish, of Denver, Ad-
dresses Local Churches.

Speaking from knowledge gained by ten
years as school teacher in Salt Lake City,
Mrs. ]. B. McCuish addressed the congrega-
ton at the Central Presbyterian church last
evening upon "TheWays of Mormonism." Mrs.
McCuish said there was much ignorance
throughout the United States regarding the
practices and extent of Mormonism, and de-
claTed that the Mormons carefully guarded
their affairs that opposition might not be
aroused by a knowledge of the facts OF
their religion. Mormons might be pleasant
neighbors or honorable associates, the speaker
said, but in her opinion their religion and its
teachings were menace to the government
of the country
With reference to the generally accepted
belief that polygamy was no longer practiced
by the Mormons since the proclamation of the
church, in $780, Mrs. McCuish said that the
proclamation had been merely a political ex-
pedient to secure Utah's admission to the
Union of states, and that polygamy was as
much part of the Mormon religion today as
it had ever been. She warned her auditors
against the influences of Mormonism, stating
that the sect had increased SO per cent In
numbers during the last year. This, she
said, was the result of the work done by Nor
mon missionaries, who Travelled throughout
the United States laboring Zealously toward
making converts. In Utah. Mrs. McCuish
said, Mormonism dominated everything. Poll

TOOK THE FIRST TWO
MINNESOTA WINNINGS IN THE OC-
TOBER AWARDS OF THE OMA-
HA EXPOSITION
SEEM TO INSURE THE MEDAL

There Is Little Doubt Now That
when the Exposition Closes the
Butter Medal for General Excel
Ience VIII BE Given to the North
Star State-GOssip of the Dairy
men.
The fourth scoring of butter at the
Omaha exposition took place last Mon
day and for the fourth time Minnesota
exhibitors carried away first and Sec
oud prizes in the creamery class and
first prize in the dairy class. The first
pliZe in the creamery class went to >.
I. Bork. Of Steele Center. with a score
of ninety-eight points. This is the
second time that Mr.. Bork's exhibit has
carried off the first p:ize in the cream
ely class. John Prieduor, of Strout,
ran Mr. Bork a very close race, his eX-
hibit scoring ninety-seVen and three
fourths points. In the dairy class the
exhibit of Mrs. T. B. Robbins, OF
Charles CITY. was awarded first prize.
The result of this fourth scoring
makes it almost certainty that Min
nesOta viii be awarded the medal at
the close of the final scoring for having
made the best showing, 9nd that Mr..
Eolk will Cap;u the medal to be Civ
en- to the Individual whose total for all
five scorings is the highest.
There were 105 eXhibIts entered in the
scoring and Of these Minnesota had
ffty-one, or but three less than all the
other states combined. 1t is not due
tc this fact, however, that Minnesota
makes the best showing. 1t is ow ng
to the fact that the butter shown by
Mimi SOFA is superior ia quality 10
that Of the other states. The COM
pelitioH is open TO all alike and it IS
the iNil ge of eve Y ST. t in the | n on
to enter as many exhibits as its cream
cry people see fl to send. The eXh. bits
from the other states were divided as
follows: Iowa. %; Kansas, IA: Ne
braska, 9; Wisconsin, 4; South Dakota,
2: Michigan, /; Illinois, /; Massachu-
sets, l. OF the fifty-one exhibits from
Minnesota all scored nine ,y-one points
or better, and twenty-seVen, or more
tran half Of them, scored ninety-tiVe
points or better.
OF the exhibits from other states the
highest scores were three from Iowa,
ninety points eacn. In none OF
the other states did an exhibit score
that number of points, and in the ma
jority of cases the scores were less than

Mrs. Mcclellan Brown was instrument
tai in calling the first convention in
