A Peculiar Case.

In the case of Perry Iilsley,
charged with grand larceny, the
superior court is in a xuandry as to
what to do. Illsley pleaded guilty
last Thursday, and sentence was

investigate the matter.

town last fall, and went to Cakes.
dale, buying a ticket and checking
a. roll of blankets to his destination.
At Oakesdale the roll of blankets
was thrown off the train and Illsley
picked it up and carried it away.
Later he appeared at the depot with
his check and demanded his prop
erty. Diligent search failed to find
any trace of the missing bundle.
lllsley filed a claim for the lost
goods, placing the value at $40.
Detective Hunt, of st. Paul, was
put on the case, and arrested Illsley
at Davenport and brought him to
Oakesdalc, where he was bound
over to the superior court.
Judge Mcdonald called in Judge

How We onee Took Havana


In 1862 soldiers from the Amer,
lean colonies which afterward be
came the United States captured
Havana under English leadership,
and men from Massachusetts,
hauled down the Spanish flag from
Moro castle.
The following is from Bancroft,
Vol. III;
Assembling the fleet and trans
ports at Martinique and off Cape
st. Nicholas, Admiral Pococke
sailed directly through the Bahama
straits and on the sixth day of June
came in sight of the low coast
around Havana. The Spanish
forces for the defence of the city
were about 1900; the English had
1900 effective men and were re-
cruited by nearly 1000 negroes from
the Leeward islands and by 1900
from Jamaica. Before the end of
July the needed reinforcements ar
rived from New York and New
England; among these was Put
nam, the brave ranger of Connectl-
cut, and numbers of men less happy
because never destined to revisit
Their homes.
con the 18th of July, after siege
of twenty-nine days, during which
the Spaniards lost 1000 men, and
the brave Don Luis de Nelasco was
MORALLY wounded, the MORO castle
was taken by storm. On the 18th
Of August the Governor Of Havana
ca pitulated, and the most import
ant station in the West Indies fell
into the hands of the English. At
the same time nine ships of the
line and four frigates were cap
tured in the harbor. The booty Of
property belonging to the King of
estimated at $10,00Q.000.
1.-THE siege was conducted in mid
summer, against a city which lies
lust within the tropic. The coun-
try around the Moro Castle is
rocky. To bind and carry the
fascines was of itself a work of in
credible labor, made possible only
by aid of African slaves. Sufficient
earth to hold the fascines firm was
gathered with difficulty from crew.
ices in the rocks. Once, after a
drought of fourteen days, the grand
battery took fire by the flames, and,
cracking and spreading where
water could not follow it nor earth
stide it, was wholly consumed.
The climate sdoiled great part
of the provisions. Wanting good
water, very many died in agonies
from thirst. More fell victims to a
putrid fever, Of which the malig-
nifty left but three or four hours be-
tween robust health and death.
Some wasted away with loathsome
disease.
"Over the graves the carrion
crows lowered and often scratched
away the scanty earth, which rather
hid than buried the dead. Hun
dreds of carcasses floated on the
ocean. And yet such was the en-
thusiasm of the English, such the
resolute zeal of the sailors and
soldiers, such the unity of action
between the fleet and the army,
that the vertical sun of June and
July, the heavy rains of August,
raging fever and strong and we'll
defended tortresses, all the OBJ
stacles of nature and art, were sur
mounted, and the most decisive
victory of the war was gained"
