DID he KILL cAvANAUaH.

Hurst Said to Have Taken Drastic Meas
ures to Beat an Opposing Candidate.
The coroner's inquest into the muir
der of Dominick Cavanaugh Of Glen
dive, sheriff Of Dawson county, after a
twelve days session. brought in their
verdict Tuesday morning. and on the
strength Of the evidence brought out a
warrant was issued for the arrest of
Joseph O. Hurst for committing the
crime. Hurst was Cavanaugh's unsuc-
cessful opponent at the November cleo
tion for the Office of sheriff. The pre-
liminary trial before Justice Thomas f.
Hogan was probably held yesterday.
when it was expected sufficient damag-
ing evidence would be produced to bind
Hurst over to the district court.
The local officers were assisted before
the coroner's jury by Chief Detective
Gallin of the st. Paul Union bureau,
Stock Detective W. D. Smith, County
Attorney T. ]. Porter Of Custer coun-
ty and Attorney General G. B. Nolan.
There were many witnesses examined
during the session Of the jury. COM
posed of Henry Dion, H. B. MoSune,
G.. D. Hollecker, James @. Brooks.
Elmer S. Herrick and W. +. Jordan.
The arrest of Hurst for the crime
was surprise to his many friends and
the citizens of Glendive He was ap-
pointed to fill the unexpired term Of
Sheriff Cavanaugh, which expired Dec.
81. 1898, and after Alfred E. Aiken
Ll-
which Cavanaugh was elected. Hurst
showed his disappointment keenly.
While Hurst has always been regarded
as enjoying the confidence of all who
knew him, the sentiment is that he
should suffer for the crime if proven
guilty.

Northern Pacific railroad in this city
was commenced this morning under the
supervision of Ben Hager for T. R.

RUN AWAY TO GET MARRIED.

Have Now Gone Home to Receive the
Paternal Blessing.
Tuesday nights Northern Pacific
train left two passengers in Billings. a
man and woman. who had taken time
by the forelock and flown from the
wrath to come when it was known they
wanted to get married. Their names
were Henry G. Breaum and Ingebord
Olsen. and they had travelled all the
way from Oakdale, N. D. The cause
Of their flight from home was
the serious objection the woman's
father had to the man. But
love is strong and is not to be overcome
by such objections, and they flew. Not
as winged messengers fly, but in the
covered cars. They had no certain
town in mind-all they wanted was to
get married and then they would defy
daddy -in-law. They stopped at small
station just east Of Billings, but were
told they could not secure a license
there and SO they came on to this city.
The couple repaired to the Cottage
Inn hotel and after license and Judge
Mann were secured, the wedding took
place in the hotel parlor, witnessed by
a number of persons. Mr.. and Mrs.
Breaum departed Wednesday morning
for the place from whence they came
and ere this have probably received the
benediction aud blessing Of the terrible
daddy-in-law.

As soon as he has fixed on melody
he gathers the children in his arms. and
they all roll indiscriminately on the

making snch an uproar that at last
Signora Mascagni interferes, scolding
her husband and telling him that

A Mnharajah.. Revenge.

The maharanee of Nepaul committed
suicide in horror at the Disagreement
which an attack Of smallpox had caused
in her features. The maharajah, who
was passionately attached to her, first
wreaked his vengeance on the physi
clans who had attended her in her ill.,
ness. Then he flew at higher game.
Out of the great temple he brought
the idols, placed loaded cannon before
them and bade gunners fire. In terror
at the proposed blasphemy they refused.
Thereupon the maharajah hanged sew
eral of them. The~ survivors then sub
mitted, and the guns were fired and the
idols blown to pieces. .-Leipsic Missions

COMPETITIVE EXAMINATION.

This Should Be Made the Basis of the Sc
lection of Graded School Teachers.
EDITORS YoRKvILLE ENQUIRER
In reading your remarks about cleo
tion of teachers to the graded school
that dissatisfaction was felt by those
applicants who were not elected, !
respectfully suggest as solution of a
much vexed problem to the trustees
that they adopt the plan that is sue
cessful in Greenville and is certainly
'justice to all-favor to none," i. g.
have a competitive examination by all
the applicants at the same time, upon
a given day, the largest percentage OBJ
tanning the position. Then there Ger.
tainly could be no fault found, and
the school would get the teachers best
equipped for the most responsible posi-
ton in the world-the moulding and
training of the minds and characters Of
children. On LOCKER.

cut in his cotton crop, reducing it
about 25 acres below last year, and
giving the attention to corn instead.
In this connection, he also said that
he is going largely into the raising oi
pumpkins this year, planting all his
bottom land with them. The raising
of pumpkins used to be very general
previous to the war, and the crop paid
handsomely but of late, most people
seem to have dropped pumpkins from
their cornfelds. Mr.. Wright, how
ever, says that pumpkins constitute
the best stock feed to be had. Cut up,
boiled and mixed with corn meal
they make milk and butter in abun.
dance, and will keep mule and horses
in as good condition as corn. He
thinks that the despised pumpkin is
great institution, if proper attention is
given to it.
