Body Of James H. Burrell, Who is Be-

Body of James H. Burrell, Who is Be-
lieved to Have Committed Suicide.
While roaming through the woods
near Donald G. Mitchell's residence at
Edgewood near the other end of Edge
wood avenue Saturday afternoon two
bows. George Kluth and William Bald
win found the body of James Ell. Bur-
rill. formerly employed as clerk in
the grocery store of E. E. Nichols on
State street The body was lying face
downward, the head in a ditch. Medi-
cal Examiner White thinks that it was
q case of suicide and the indications
were that the unfortunate man took
carbolic acid as the lips and face We're
badly burned, evidently by that acid.
The bottle, however, was not found.
Mr.. Burrell was a sufferer from rheu
matism. and was compelled to give up
his position in the grocery store and
went west FOR his health He was ben
Gifted, and returned to work A short
time ago he was again obliged to quit
work on account of i'll health, and it Is
thought that in a fit Of dependency
due to this he took the acid. He was
about thirty-five years of age and I'M
married. He leaves two brothers,
George T. Burrell, foreman at the Ma
tional folding box factory, and Robert
A. Burrell, shipping clerk at that fac
tory. He also leaves two sisters. The
brothers took charge of the remains.

alist." Messrs. Grue and Nelson
voted for this bill. They remembered
the twine''
House File No. 273 established q
board of appeals for complaints as te
grades of wheat. With carefully Sc
lected board this should tend to make
graders more careful and prevent the
recurrence of such infamous grading
as we had the first part of last season
Both the Kandiyohi county members
voted for this bill. They "remem
bered the grades.''
It must be borne in mind that oul
agitation last fall bore Immediate
fruit, as the tremendous chorus of in
dignation that went up scared the de-
partment into at least temporary fiji
of honesty.
"When will you publish that
promised statement as to Senate
File 155, the Grue bill to release
the bondsmen of the State Bank?
Rememberyou promised your read
ers that you would explain this
bill introduced by our SENATOR
In our judgment Senator Grue made
mistake when he fathered the bill
above referred to. And Mr.. Feig
knows as we'll as anyone that the pop
ulists and democrats of Kandiyohi
county do not uphold eGrue's~action in
introducing the bill, nor do they try to
excuse the Objectionable portion OF
the bill. On the other hand, the bit
terest CRITICISM has come from Mr..
GrAe's own constituents. The demo:
CRATIC St: Paul Globe was the first
daily paper to call attention to the
matter, which it did on the morning
after the Introduction of the bill, while
the republican dailies had little or
nothing to say regarding it. Our ex-
PLANTATION why The TRIBUNE has not
given it's views in full in regard to this
matter is this: We were absent from
the state with but imperfect mail con-
nections during the major portion OF
the Legislative session. We did not
feel justified, with the knowledge we
then possessed, to pass an opinion in
the matter. Since the adjournment OF
the legislature we have, through the
courtesy of Mr.. Grue, had access to
complete files of the house and senate
journals for the session, which we have
at leisure moments studied with the
intention of publishing review of the
work of the Legislature, with special
reference to the votes of Messrs. ,Grue
and Nelson. In this we had intended
to incorporate our comment on the bill
in question. F'eig's questions have
made us change our plans and have
given us an opportunity to state what
we know in regard to the matter al
this time.
The text of the bill introduced by
Grue is as follows:
AN ACT authorizing the auditor OF the state OF
Minnesota to receive the assets of the State
change Bank of Minneapolis in payment OF
the claims OF the state against said banks
and to dispose OF the same,
WHEREAS, by reason of the extraordinary
ana unusual financial occurrences of 1893 not

JOHNSON'S PATHETIC PLEA
EXPLAINS WHY HE BECAME 4
HIGHWAYMAN.
Wanted Money to Buy Medicine For
His Sick Wife-Given Two Con-
current Terms of Five Years.

Arthur Johnson, the colored husband
of Laura Johnson, who fell in dying
condition on the street some weeks
ago, was yesterday sentenced to serve
five years in the penitentiary Johnson
had pleaded guilty to two charges of
robbery and was given a five years
term on each, but as the sentences will
run concurrently his actual time in
prison, if he behaves well, will be Just
three years and four months
When asked if he had anything to say
before judgment was pronounced, John
son claimed that he had been driven to
commit the crime in order to buy medi-
cine for his sick wife. Il loved my
Wife," he declared, land / would not
have been a man if 1 had allowed her
to die without medical attention.
When Judge Norrell asked where
Mrs. johnson was. the prisoner replied,
with every evidence of deep grief: She
is in her grave, your honor She died
just three weeks ago today" Johnson
stated that he had been a private in
the Twenty fourth infantry and that
he was discharged last February He
said he had had back luck ever since
In sentencing the defendant, Judge
Norrell said the crimes to which John
son had pleaded guilty were serious
ones, and the best he could do was to
give him five years on each count, al
lowing the terms to run concurrently
The prisoner held up William Elliott
and Roy Foreman last April, near the
Valley House. He shot Elliott several
times with a 22-calibre revolver, but
the wounds were trifiing. About ten
days ago he escaped from the county
Jail, but was easily recaptured. He
then tried hard but unsuccessfully to
kill himself.

NOTORIOUS FORGER CAPTURED.
vICTIMIzED PROPRIETOR OF
THE KENYON.
N. S. Morse, Who Has Several Other
Names, Caught at Butte-Will Be
Brought Back.

Chief of Police LEVEL of Butte wired
Chief Hilton last night that he had in
custody N. s. Morse, alias c. NJ. Will
| cox, alias Kane the man who, ten days
ago, passed a forged check on Don Por-
, ter, proprietor of the Kenyon, and who
is wanted in Colorado for the same Of
Tense. Morse will be brought here for
trial.
The prisoner is, according to the. po-
lice, an old crook, whose speciality has
been forgery and forged instruments
all the way from Chicago to the coast.
A few weeks ago Morse passed draft
for $50 on Orson Adams of Grand juno
ton, drawn on the First. National bank
of Denver, in the name of C. M. Will
cox. The draft was returned with a
note. saying that the bank had received
several fraudulent checks drawn by
the same man, who was entirely I'M
known to them.
Coming here, Morse stayed at the
Kenyon a few days, and. on Aug. 10,
presented a similar draft for $50 liz
payment of his bill. 1t was endorsed
by man named Livingstone, the same
being written evidently by Morse. u
Ordinarily, the genial Porter would
have investigated, but the volunteers
returned home that day, and Don was
busy shooting firecrackers, so he cashed
it without forethought. About this
time word came from Denver: Wilcox
wanted" Detective Sheets concluded
