Found Guilty of Mans1aughter

Darlington, Wis, Dec. 12.-The jury
in the John Cambell manslaughter
case late Saturday night brought in a
verdict of manslaughter in the third
degree. AS both Campbell and Collins
were charged with manslaughter, and
one of them is found guilty, the other
cannot be tried for the same crime,
and it is probable that Collins will be
tried for assault.

Feat of Wisconsin Thieves,

Marinette, Wis, Dec. 12.-Thieves

General Wheeler's secretary, Gar

bolOman almost within sight of head
quarters. his assailant pursuing him
nearly into the headquarters building
The policy Of these ruftians is to make
the country uninhabitable for Ameri-
cans and to brighten natives into re-
framing from giving assistance to the
Americans, as we'll as to compel the
inhabitants to support the insurrec-
ton. Frequently they raid and loot
towns. The brother of the president
Of linus went outside the town the
other day to harvest some rice He
was captured by his companions,
accused of being spy and executed.
The problem of suppressing this
guerrilla warfare is anything but easy
of solution. Some of the American
officers think it worse than fighting In
dams owing to the difficulties of the
country and the trouble in locating the
enemy, who resort, when hard pressed
to the amigo dodge and hide their
guns. Some of the Americans favor
the issuance of proclamation declar-
ing all natives found with arms to be
bandits, punishable as criminals, in
stead of being treated as prisoners of
war.
Information has been received at
headquarters that 500 Spanish prison
ers have been shipped from Vigan to

been assembled in Vigane, including
General Pena. Probably these are

Mrs. David B. Cheney escaped from
the city by running south, but whether
he was partner of Henry 7. Corbett.
of Milwaukee, in Jail on the charge of
vagrancy, is a question puzzling the
police, although Mrs. Cheney states
that from a picture shown her that
he is the man she talked to at the back
door a few moments before the shoot
ing. Corbett says that he might have
been at the rear door of the Cheney
home for the reason that he called
at many residences that day, but not
being acquainted with the location
of the town he cannot say where he
was at that time
The burglar who did the shooting,
according to reports to the police, was
seen at Berryville less than two hours
after the shooting. He was lying in
the grass beside the road very tired
and carefully watching people who ap-
preached. When he observed an Of
ficer coming in a buggy with a star
and brass buttons on his coat, he
crawled behind a summer house and
kept out of sight until the officer went
by and then ran and leaped over the
lake bank.
The story that there was two men
interested in the robbery is doubted by
many and the presence of COrbett at
the rear door of the Cheney house is
considered as a strong coincidence.
George Dardis, man who proclaimed
that he did the shooting, in a saloon,
was drunk at the time and had moth
ing to do with the affair. Rev. and
Mrs. Cheney are getting on excellent
