ran twice a week. A letter was re-
ceived at the postoffice at the other
end OF the line for her in one Of those

thinking it was special communi-

Mays Unsavory Record.

Some tender-hearted people having
expressed considerable sympathy for
George II. May, now in Jail here await
ing sentence for self-confessed bigamy,
the Star deems it imperative to publish
just enough facts to show that sympa-
thy in his case is entirely uncalled for.
May is the natural son of a man
named Fisher. His mother afterwards
married a man named Bondurant, but
her husband would not allow the boy
to live with her, and he was adopted
by a wealthy farmer called Andrew
Hanson, who lives II miles northeast
of Little Falls, Mimi. When about
eighteen years of age, May got into
trouble with a girl named Christiauson
and was forced to marry her. They
never lived together, but there is no
record of a divorce. His second mat
rimonial venture occurred in 1892 at
Grand Forks, where he was married
under the name of George Bondurant
to Il girl named Martha Whipple. He
soon left her. He claims that she
obtained a divorce from him, and that
she now lives near Grafton. His third
victim was Dora Harris, whom he
married at Wahpeton, N. D., in 1896.
His namo then was George Fisher.
Two months before her child was born

\ Rcast1y Crime.

Cando, Jan. ola farmer living
some ten miles north Of this place has
disappeared under conditions of a
most startling and rev olting nature.
His name is Jorgei Jorgelson, a
widower, his wife having been dead
about four years, since which time he
has kept house with his two daughters,
aged respectively nine and thirteen
years. On account of his strange
actions Of late watch was kept which
resulted in his being detected having
criminal intercourse with tho eldest
girl. Before any legal steps could be
taken i'll the promises, he sold what
little property he possessed for a mere
song, and left for parts unknown. The
children are being cared for by the
ncighhors.

The Blind Pi. Cases.

Tho jury in the Shong case
promptly brought in a verdict of guilty
last Friday, and with this conviction
all hope of evading the penalties of tho
law seemed to leave the remaining de-
PENDANTS charged with violating the
prohibition law.
Saturday morning Cadigan, Cava-
| naugh, Eaton and j. B. Stoeser came
into court and pleaded guilty. This
action on their part was soon followed
by Makey, Walker, l.. W. Stoeser, Roed,
falkland and Mackay, thus cleaning
up all the blind pig cases before this
term of court. There we're indict-
ments against Jack listes and Andrew
Hoganson, of this city, and Ed Bice, of
Penn, but rs they had taken tho pre-
caution to skip before warrants for
their arrest could be secured, their
cases necessarily went over to the next
term. In the light of what has hap
pened to their former competitors it
is not likely that they will soon return
to Ramsey county.
Saturday afternoon at 5 o'clock Judge
Morgan passed sentence, as follows:
Peter Reader, 90 days Imprisonment
in the county Jail and $500 fine. If the
fine is not paid it is to be served out by
100 days additional Imprisonment.
c. +. Shong, of Penn, five months in
Jail and $3.50 fine, or 90 days additional
imprisonment.
G. F. Mackey, Of Grand Harbor, 90
days in Jail and 5000 fine.
Jennings Walker, Grand Harbor. 90
days in Jail and $500 fine.
j. B. Stoeser, 80 days in Jail and 5000
fine.
John Cadigan, $50 days in Jail and
$500 fine, or 100 days additional i'm
prisonment.
S. G. Roed, 90 days in Jail and $500
fine, or 100 days additional imprison-
ment.
II. II. falkland, 90 days in Jail and
$500 fine.
A. Mackay, 80 days in Jail and 5000
fine, or 10 days additional imprison-
ment.
Lew Eaton, 80 days in Jail and 5000
fine, or 80 days additional imprison-
ment.
NJ. II. Cavanaugh, of this city, and
L. w. Stoeser, Of Grand Harbor, will
not receive sentence until the first
Monday in April. This is on account
Of sickness in their families, and mean
| while they are out on bail.
In all cases the fine, if not paid, is
charged up against the property where
the business has been carried on.
Sheriff Wagness searched the various
places in this city Saturday evening
and found liquor: in the places form
erly conducted by Cadigan, Eaton,
Estes 4 Hoganson.
The law provides for injunctional
proceedings, to follow conviction, and
it is probable that States Attorney Nc
Glory will Immediately take steps to
have %injunctions issued against the
various places of business lately occu-
pied by the blind pigs.

y RESOLUTION, practically directing
the government to pay its outstanding
obligations in silver, has been intro.
duccd by Senator Teller in the senate.
The resolution is worded rs follows:
That all bonds Of the Uuited States
issued, or authorized to be issued
under the said acts of congress here.
inbefore recited are payable, principal
and interest, at the option of the
government Of the United States in
silver dollars Of the coinage of the
each of standard silver and that to
restore to its coinage such silver coins
as a legal tender in payment of said
bonds, principal and interest, is not in
violation of the public faith MOI in
derogation of the rights of the public
creditors.
Senator IIansbrough voted against
the resolution and in explaining his
views of the matter stated:
am against taking up the resolu>
ton, and shall vote against it when the
final vote is taken. I regard tho
scheme as simply one for discrediting
the administration and making mis-
chief for the Republican party in the
looming campaign. No good could
possibly come from the passage of the
resolution, while much harm might
follow in detracting from the good that
has already been done by the admin
istration in restoring confidence and
helping the tone of business. I have
confidence in the administration, and
while | do not approve all that Mr..
Gage is quoted as saying, I do not look
upon him as the head Of tho admins.
tration or the maker of its politics.
The pending resolution is aimed at
him and at Republican representatives,
and is intended to have an effect in
the coming congressional campaign,
and I cannot lend my support to such
a scheme.
