A BIG STORM.
Commenced Monday and Contin-
ued Until Tuesday,.

One of the worst storms ever exper-
fenced in this section of Minnesota
was the one commenced last Monday
forenoon, and continued with increas
ing fury until Tuesday morning, when
the wind commenced to recede and
the sun made its appearance.
The storm commenced with fall
of light snow about seven o'clock
Monday morning. A light wind
arose at the same time, and as the
snow fall increased the wind increased
correspondingly, SO that by noon the
storm was on in full blast. The
storm seems to have attained its
heighth at two o'clock Tuesday morn
ing, when it was almost impossible to
travel through the city, and when
houses creaked and groaned, and
branches we're torn from trees.
On Tuesday morning huge snow
drifts we're piled up in front of the
buildings on the north side of Second
street, facing the south, and in front
of buildings on the west side of Wash
ington and Mill streets, facing the
east. The largest drift was the one in
front of Francois & Schmahl's store
which was a lrife over six feet high.
A good many signs were blown
down by the wind, while storm win
dows and sheds were the cry of al
most the entire populace- all owing
to the fact that such storm was new
or anticipated at this season of the
year.
Trains were generally blockaded,
but the St. Louis received the worst
dose, and the west bound passenger of
that road never reached North Red
wood until midnight Tuesday. The
freight trains we're all tied up and the
east bound passenger met with about
the same experience as the west-bound.

A PURE FAKE.
TWoMen Arrested on a Fictitious
Newspaper Statement.

Last Saturday evening Jailor Ben
Robidou placed under arrest George
Robinson and Thos. Cameron, whom
he found in F. L. Peterson's saloon, on
the alleged charge of being the prin-
cipals in the reported murder of a
man near Wood Lake.
The arrest was based on an article
in the Belview Independent, which
paper seems to have gotten an un-
founded rumor mixed up with fact
in Cottonwood county to the effect
that man was found on Friday, NoY.
1lth, in q straw stack a few miles
south of Wood Lake, unconscious
and with a badly bruised head. The re-
port stated that the man revived and
said that he had been threshing and
corn husking near Cottonwood and had
about $14 on his person the day be-
fore, when two men, one called Mon
tana Jack and the other a dark COM
plexioned, one eyed man, slugged and
robbed him, and then to conceal the
crime the victim was buried in a pile
of straw.
The two men arrested by Mr.. Robi-
dou answered to the description CIV
en- by the paper, and when confronted
with facts relating to their identity,
lost no time in saying that they have
been known as Mo. tana Jack and One
Eyed Tom. but positively denied any
connection with the alleged crime.
Mr.. Robidou Immediately commenced
an Investigation, teIephoning to Echo,
Belview, Wood Lake and Cottonwood,
and receiving answers from each point
that nothing was known of the alleged
crime on which the two men were
held, and as result the two men
we're given their liberty Sunday after
noon.
Robinson and Cameron have been
working west of here nearly all sum-
mer, and about three weeks ago we're
working around Belview, where they
became known by their more familiar
appelations. About two weeks ago
they worked day or so on the Pease
threshing machine, near the Pease
farm in Kintire, after which they went
to husking corn for the Fagaps. resid-
iIg still further south. They put in
eight consecutive days on that farm
up to last Wednesday morning, when
they finished their jobs, and came to
Redwood Falls, where they nave since
been. Their alibis are complete, and

COURT CONCLUDED.

The November term of district
court was brought to close last Fri
day evening.
The last jury trial was the arson
case of the State vs.. Fitzsimmons. The
jury in this case brought in verdict
of guilty of arson in the third degree,
Thursday, and the same evening
Judge Webber had the prisoner
brought before him for sentence, which
was fixed at three years and five
months at Saltwater. Fitzsimmons
took his medicine without showing
much feeling, and in response to the
usual question as to whether he had
anything to say why judgement shoul Id
not be passed upon him, answered in
the negative.
In the case of the Mccormick Har-
vesting Machine Co. vs.. John H. Bal
fany, after jury trial, the court, di-
rected the jury to bring in verdict
for the plaintiff for the amount de-
manded in the complaint.
The conversion action in the reple-
vim case of the Investment Guarantee
Trust Co. vs.. John Stevenson, noted
last week, was settled by the jury
bringing in a pair of verdicts, one
finding for plaintiff for grain to the
amount of $y1 20, and the other for a
division of grain to the amount of $500
in favor of the defendant.
The case of E. E. Harriott VS.. G..
G. L. Holmes was afterwards pro-
ceeded with, Notwithstanding the dis
appearance of R. S. Pickett, an i'm
portant witness for the plaintiff. The
jury in this case brought in verdict
in favor of the plaintiff, assessing dam
ages to $3.50.
The case of Herman Werder vs.
Park Worden and Jos. Tyson was
tried by the court. The case was TAX
en- under advisement, and the decis-
ion wi probably be rendered in Janu.
ary.
Another case tried by the court was
that of Julius HoPp and others vs.
William Witt and others. This case
was also taken under advisement.

TEN THOUSAND STARVING.
Great Distress Among the Fishermen of
Etrup Island.

Tacoma, Wash, Nov. 90. Late ad-
vices from japan state that 1O,o DOC
more fishermen living on Etrup island,
Northern Japan, are on the verge of
starvation. Some have nothing to eat,
while others are existing on rats and
purified behring's. During this winter
all means of transportation between
Etrup island and Hokkaido province
are suspended, in consequence of which
the islands inhabitants are subjected
to innumerable hardships in the event
of a bad fishing season.
A big catch having been expected
this year, 5000 fishermen were import
ed from Hakodate and Nemuro. Con-
.rary to expectations, this years fish
ing proved worse than ever. One bank
has sustained loss of so, 600 ven and
individuals have lost from 5000 to 3d.
900 yen each. Many dealers have fail
ed and famine prevails among the
people.

DEWEY HEARD FROM
REPORTS ISLAND OF PANAY IN
POSSESSION OF INSURGEN rs.
The Island of Negros Has Declared Ind o
pendence and Desires American Pro-
tectorate-Iloilo Still in Pos
session of spaniards.

Washington, Nov. 49, News has
been received at the navy department
from Admiral Dewey touching the sit
uation in the Philippines The admiral
sent two of his warships, the Charles
ton and the Concord, some time ago to
the southwark from Manila, to ascer-
tain whether there was truth in reports
that insurgents had expended their
activities in that direction. He. has
cabled the department as follows:
'sCharleston and Concord arrived to
day from Iloilo. Glass reports that the
entire island of Panay is in possession
of insurgents except Iloilo, which is
defended by 800 Spanish troops. All
foreign citizens there beg for American
protection. The island Of Negroes has
declared independence and desires
American protectorate. -
Glass is the commander of the Char
lesion. So far, nothing has been done
by the administration towards curbing
the insurgents in their operations, save
verbal representations from the Ameri-
can commanders to Aguinaldo, in which
it has been pointed out to him that it
would be good policy, in view of the
probability of the annexation of the
islands by the United States, to pursue
a course that would not be obnoxious
to the United States But the situation
is now realized to be critical So far
as the Spaniards are concerned, per-
haps they can be left to take care of
themselves, but the foreign residents
at Iloilo are differently regarded.
The difficulty in the situation is that,
with the best intentions to intervene
to protect the Europeans and other
foreigners and to save the city of Ileilo,
the second in Importance in the group,
from loot, the United States forces APP
pear to be stopped under the rule. of
war from moving from their positions.
Such is the construction placed upon
the clause in the protocol relating to
of hostilities. The immedi-
ate effect of this state of affairs may
be to hasten action in the Paris con-
ference, for it is only by the termina-
ton of that tribunal that the United
States can come to the relief of the
beleaguered Spaniards in Iloilo and
other points.

Molokoff says that just before he left
NunivalS island, the Indian wife of a
hunter and trader named Marsten re-
turned to NunivalS from Kuskowim,
where she had been visiting relatives,
Jessie and barge Minerva went ashore
in the breakers. large number of In
dams were on the beach and rendered
assistance in getting the whites ashore
and saving supplies from the barge.
After being comfortably camped, the
Indians demanded large portion of
the supplies as payment for services
which, according to the Indian wo-
mans story, was refused.
A few nights later, while all were
asleep, the Indians made rush on the
camp, killing the entire party, includ-
ing Missionary Webber, his wife and
child.
After the massacre the bodies were
stripped of clothing and valuables.
They were then taken in conoes con-
siderable distance from shore and
thrown in the sea.
Molokoff's story is partially corrob-
GRATED by letter from Marsten, re-
ceived by Barneson & Chilcoot, who
owned an interest in the Jessie. Mars
ten asks for an investigation, and says
that the Indians on the Kuskowim are
becoming very insolent. They claim
that section as their hunting and fish
ing grounds, and do not want the
whites to trespass, and threaten to
make trouble for all prospectors.

INDEPENDENCE OR DEATH.


London, Nov. 21.-It is learned that
on Wednesday last, Agoncilla, the
representative Of Aguinaldo, who has
been in Paris watching the proceed
ings Of the peace commissioners, called
a meeting Of the Filipinos in Paris and
London to meet him in Paris, when a
committee was formed with the object
of doing everything possible to induce
France to recognize the so-called Fill
pino republic. A telegram was sent to
Aguinaldo, asking for instructions, and
this following reply is said to have been
received:
Insist upon absolute independence.
Otherwise fight to the death. We are
all united and the government is pro-
crossing smoothly. All the independ-
emit tribes Of the noun tains are sub
hitting to Aguinaldo and the chiefs
are bringing presents of gold"
The statements made by General
Wesley Merritt, in reply to the appeal
of the Filipino junta of Hongkong to
the American people, have caused in
dignation among the Filipinos. They
are specially incensed at the sugges-
ton that they would loot and at the
idea OF being governed as a colony.

the largest and most representative

QUEEN ILLS CLAIM.
Going to Washington to Demand Hawaiian
Crown Lands.

San Francisco, Nov 22.-Ex-Q Queen
Liliuokalani of Hawaii has arrived
from Honolulu, accompanied by Col.
onel e. w. Macfarlane and Hon. Paul
Nooman. The ex-queen excused her
self from newspaper men, but it was
learned that Lilioukalani will leave
for Washington in a few days. The
object of her visit is to try and infiu-
ence congress to allow her to retain
possession of the crown lands, esti-
mated at $4,000, 900.
Liliuokalani maintains that, despite
the annexation of the Hawaiian is
lands to the United States, the crown
lands are her absolute private property
and this country has no more right to
assume ownership of the lands than it
has to take the property of any pri-
vate citizen
The contention of President Dole,
the cabinet and the Hawaiian com
mission that the crown lands became
part of the United States upon the an
nexation of the lands, she takes ex
ception to, and is hopeful that her trip
to Washington will result finally in
the crown lands against becoming her
private possessions.
