SHOOTING AT SLEEPY EYE
Wallace N. Greene Killed by Will
EiCh, a Printer.
Sleepy Eye Dispatch.

O'cEceSf'
Tuesday evening at about IL o'cloc'k
Will Eich shot and instantly killed
Wallace. NJ. Greene. The tragedy oc-
cured near the corner of Main street
on the west side of Fifth and was
witnessed by a number of citizens.
The affair grew out of quarrel the
two men had in front of Henry Berg's
saloon, when Eich knocked Greene
down for an insulting remark. After
the knock down Greene drew knife
and Eich to avoid trouble ran up the
north side of Main street to a point
opposite Larrabee's drug store, then
crossed the street at which point
Greene gave up the pursuit. Eich
ran east on Main street and then back
to the crowd of men he had left and
passed into Berg's saloon. He left
Berg's by the rear door to avoid
Greene and came over to The Dispatch
Office to get his overcoat, intending to
go home. Eich got his coat, put it on
and left the Office going diagonally
across Fifth street to see two men who
we're standing near Henry Goettsche's
fence, talking. Eich stopped there
few minutes and then started south on
Fifth street. Just as be turned from
the men Greene came around the
corner with hostile intent and knife
in his hand. He assaulted Eich near
Mark Canes barber shop door and to
defend himself Eich drew a revolver.
Greene continued to advance upon
him and made stab with his knife
cutting Eich's coat. After repeatedly
warning him Eich pointed his revolver
down and fired at Greene's legs but
missed him twice, both balls being
found later, one imbedded in the door
frame and the other in the barber
sign. Greene struck at Eich again,
this time stabbing him in the left arm
and the next instant ball from Eich's
gun found Judgement in Greene's
body. Greene staggered away and
walked as far as the stone cross walk
at Goettche's where he fell. After
two or three spasmodic movements of
the body his spirit took its flight.
Marshall Hicks hearing the rapid firing
was hurrying across the street and
Eich stepped off the sidewalk, hand
ed him his revolver and said: give
shot that mani give myself up."
Eich was taken in charge by the
marshal, doctor was called to dress
his wounds and then Greene's BODY
taken up and given in charge of the
undertaken. At 3 a. m. Eich was
taken to New Ulm and committed to
the county jail where he now is. This in
brief is story of the saddest affair

Venerable Rev. N. Swift Goes to
Meet the Savior for Whom
He Fought So Long.
A Career of Missionary and Church
Work of Which Other DiVines
Might Feel Proud.


of Metbodstism in Redwood Falls,
and who carried the gospel of Christ
from the borders OF Wisconsin to the
frontier Of Minnesota in 1865, when
this was still practically the home of
the Indian, and when the prairies were
grazing lands for the buffalo and the
hunting grounds of the aborigines,
passed away at the home of his daugh-
ter, Mrs. II. D. Brooke, on Fifth street,
in this city, about o'clock last Thurs
day evening.
Death-or the new life-was as wei
come to him as sleep comes to the in
fant. He was waiting for the call, re-
ligiously anxious to respond, and two
days before it came, as if by inspira
ton, but without reducing his strength,
he felt that it was but few days off,
and he shouted "Glory, hallejuah, I'm
going to meet my Redeemer"
The final summons came as beauti
full as was the career on earth OF the
venerable old soldier of Christ Seat
ed on the bed he felt its first sign, and
informed his faithful wife. She called
to her daughter down stairs, and with
DR.. Schlegel and one or two others in
the parlor, they went up stairs. Mr..
Swift was carefully laid down on the
bed, and life continued to ebb away
rapidly. He was conscious up to with
in few minutes of the end, and death
came without a sign of pain.
The funeral was held from the NJ.
E. church, of which the deceased was
the organizer, at two o'clock Sunday
afternoon. The church was filled
when the final obsequies commenced.
The remains carried by PalIbearers R.
G.. Chadbourne, W. B. King, Cyrus
Jennings, James B. Robinson, j. H.
Bowers and George Houghmaster,
were preceded by Presiding Elder
Rev. L. L. Hanscom and Rev. George
H. Way of the Methodist church, and
as they were slowly conducted to a
resting place before the altar Mr..
Hanscom read from the bible "Man
born of woman is but of few days
etc.
The Swift Memorial window in the
church was heavily draped, as was al
so the choir box and the altar. Sew
eral white lilies stood out in bold re-
lief.
The services commenced with song
by the choir, after which came prayer
by Mr.. Way, another song by the
choir. a reading by Mr.. Way, and
then another song "Jesus, Lover of
My Soul" Mr.. Hanscom then deliv-
cred the funeral oration, in which he
dwelt on the future of life, explaining
at the conclusion that be was certain
that Bro. Swift would he better salts
fed if his death and the remarks made
brought several souls to God, than he
would have been over an extended
eulogy. But once or twice during the
sermon he recurred to Mr.. Swift. He
said that he had joined those of by
gone days and years, and has held
communion with them. He would not
say that Bro. Swift was not attending
his own funeral that day, and that it
was without one regret that he came
down to the close of his life, honored
and respected by all that knew him.
Mr.. Hanscom stated that if he could

| light on the subject that could be
nationally looked for. With the light
which is the product of reason and
prayer, 1 feel hedged around to this
decision. Months have passed since 1
was asked to preach at the First Church.
From that time till now have been
making inquiry into the circumstances
of the church and the importance of
the community as sphere of labor and
feel that l am being led by divine
hand. My final decision was made
when, few days ago, in addition to
the unanimous call to the First Church,
there followed it a new and pathetic
call from the Christian Endeavor So
| ciety.
II do not leave on account ofpecuni-
ary gain, for there is none. | do not
expect rest from work there. | antici-
pate harder work of kind, but [ do
, anticipate some relief from species of
work which l have been feeling hard
for a year or two, the work of prepar-
ing two fresh sermons every week.
From some of thatIwork have felt it
almost necessity to be relieved. To
the average lay mind it looks but lit
tie thing for ministersto talk for half
an hour twice week; but no man who
does not have it to do can lever know
what it is to appear on the same plat
form year after year and produce, as he
is expected to do, new matter every
time he faces his audience. To be able
to remodel the message and preach it
to new ears and new hearts cannot but
be great rest in this line of work.
"I am not unmindful of your urgent
and hearty appeal that [ should re-
main here. 1 never expect to preach
in any place again where [ shall have
more kindness and affection bestowed
on me and where l shall have more
loyal support in the Masters work. If
this were weak churchiand were the
man who could help to strengthen it
better than another, I would make al
most any sacrifice to remain. But the
church here, through your energy chief
ly, is about as perfect now in the organ
ization of all its branches as any church
can we'll expect to be, and doubt not
but that the new voice..of new man
presenting the old truth lin new garb
may bring greater blessing to the con-
gregation and the town than there has
been in my time.
"By authority of the session hereby
call a congregational meeting to be
held in the church on January 23d, at
Las a. M, to take action in the matter,
and 1 ask you to join with me in re-
questing the Presbytery to dissolve the
pastoral relation, the dissolution to otake
effect on January 31st, 1885,"

Che Use of che Inclined Plane In q
Building Of the Pyramids.

Che Use Of che inclined Plans In the
Building Of the PyrNmids.
Alta meeting of che Philosophical %
ciety of Washington J. e. Watkins pre-
sented q paper on 1.-THE Transportation
and Lifting of Heavy Bodies by the An
Client Engineers" The purpose OF the pa
per was to show how many OF the struc-
lures regarded as remarkable by expers
engineers Of the present day, and which
some archssologists declare must have re-
ouired In their erection the use OF I'm
mense machines could have been CON-
struoted by primitive tools and simple
methods.
BY means of diagrams the speaker ex-
plained how inclined planes OF earth could
be used In placing In position Stone blocks
or slabs of enormous weight, levels and
pry bars being employed In setting them
up. He then demonstrated how easily,
comparatively speaking, the pyramids
pould have been constructed by these sim
pie methods. and when completed the
earth around them which had been used
for the inclined planes filed into the pits
from which 1t was taken, leaving the
ground as level ms before
AS an illustration the pyramid Of Gizeh
was cited, some of the stones Of which
were transported a distance Of 500 miles.
In this case the highest embankment nec-
essary when the workmen reached the top
course, assuming that a 30 per cent grade
was adopted, would have been $50 yards
long, containing, as 1t did, some z, 500, 900
cubic yards, provided the sides Of the en-
bankment would stand at an angle of 30
degrees, which is not at all improbable. A
force of 10, 900 men could have built such
an embankment in a single twelvemonth,
a very small part Of the total labor, which
IL Is stated called for the services of 10O,-
900 men for 20 years
In the solution Of tho problem Of put
ting in place huge monoliths 1t was sug-
gested that the modern engineer could
well consider the utilization Of inclined
planes before adopting more complex

Ifyou are going to the Pacific coast
why not combine the cheapest with the
best? There is only one such route and
that is the 500 Pacific, running from St.
Paul and Minneapolis.
1t is the best because it has
the smoothest, best ballasted and
safest tracks, the finest tourist sleep
ers and the grandest scenery. 1t is the
cheapest because it IS the only road
selllng tickets from st. Paul or Minneap-
oils to Vancouver, Victoria, Seattle or
Tacoma for the fat sum OF $40 and the
only road selling tickets from st. Paul or
Minneapolis to Portland or San Francis
CO for $l5.
Other roads do the business by the
hoeus pocus OF a rebate. That is they
charge you more money and promise to
pay part Of it back il you are good and
do certain things. Or in other words
they borrow your money and promise to
return it II you comply with what is nom.
mated in the bond.
With the 500 you simply pay the low
