One Sitting.
MANKATO, Dec. 19.--Philo Brewer was
divorced from two wives at one sitting,
in Judge Crays court the other day. The
testimony given by Mr.. Brewer. shows
that he has had quite an interesting mat
rimonial experience, and one which he
does not care to repeat Marriage to
him was complete failure. The plaintiff
is an old soldier, who resides in Iinkcom-
vile. He is well along in years, ana is
stated that in March, 1880, he was married
to a supposed widow, Louise johnson, by
name. p K. Johnson officiated at the
wedding. After they had been married
about three months the woman informed
Mr.. Brewer that her first husband, whom
she all along had claimed was dead, was
living; that SHE had received a letter
from him, and she must go to him. His
woman said he was living in st. Paul.
Mrs. Johnson-Brewster took her depar-
ture. MIR. Brewer enjoyed single blessed
ness until November, 1853, when he again
took unto himself a wife. This marriage
proved even more disastrous than the
first. 1t was not long after the second
suddenly. She carried with her every
thing that was in the house. She was

Johnson, was a witness. He swore that
his brother mad not been heard of, and
he did not believe he was in ST. Paul at
the time his wife reported him 10 be
there.
In reply to a question put to him by
Judge Cray the Plaintiff stated that he
did not desire to get married again. He
wanted the divorces because he was Dos
SCISSOR Of a little property, and he did not
want the women figkting over it.

Borrowed Money in Blue Earth on a
Forged Warranty Deed.
BLUE EARTH, Mimi, Dee. 19.-J. L.
Tenn, was brought here under arrest
yesterday morning and was given hear
ing in court today charged with forgery
The crime was committed last July, and
ranks as one of the smoothest sWindles
ever perpetrated in this section. About
the 1st of July man giving the name
of David N. Ross presented himself to
j. A. Van Slyke, a local real estate and
loan agent, and tried to negotiate a loan
of $1,0U9, Offering a mortgage on some
land in Lura township, this county, ex-
planning that he needed that amount to
complete the purchase of the land in
question. He presented an abstract and
deed from William Kander, of Lakefieid,
and secured the loan. His work was SO
deliberate that suspicion was not excited
and 1t was not until a month later that
the signature on the deed was found to
be forgery.
Palmer was arrested at Council Bluffs,
To-, by PinkertOnS, to answer to a charge
there of obtaining money under false pre-
lenses. 1t is alleged that his operations
have been extensive and that a good
many victims have been anxious aus to his
whereabouts. 1t is believed that the ar
rest will mean the uncovering Of a gang
of swindlers whose operations have been
going on Tor years. 1t isF claimed that
near Memphis, Mo, is located a gang
that has had dealings of just this same
character and that Palmer is one of the
gang.
Palmer appeared before the judge to-
day and his case was continued until to-
morrow An attorney is coming from
Council Bluffs and another from Memphis
to defend him, and it is anticipated an
alibi will be proven.

Although A. B. Kittredge, Of Sioux
Falls, counsel in South Dakota for the
Milwaukee railway, has decided that he
would accept the senatorship, it has been
conceded by many that he could have it.
This has given Mr.. Gamble cause for
worry. 1t is in regard to Kittredge's
moves that Mr.. Gamble has been sum
moned home for conferences with his
wheelhorses, Joseph Elliott and Charles
Ringsrud. Telegrams passed between
the three and their lieutenants through
out the state during the day. A cam
paign of bushwhacking has been arrang-
ed by the anti-Gamble and the Petit
grew elements, and new dangers have
appeared in many unexpected places. 1t
has been conceded that Gamble would be
the choice of the Republican legislature

Clement v. and Philip w. procured
the condemnation of Molay, the grand
master of the templars, to the stake,
says Chambers Journal. AS he was
led to execution Molay cited his perse-
cutors to appear before Gods throne,
the king within forty weeks and the
pope within forty days. Within these
respective times both died. Rienzi, the
last of the tribunes, condemned to
death Fra Morale. When he pro-
nounced the sentence the culprit sum-
moned the judge to meet Seath him
self within the month, anu within the
month RienZi was assassinated. In
1875 Manning Koppezoon, Roman
catholic, tortured to death during the
religious strife in the Netherlands, re-
canted his exturted confession when
on the way to the scaffold. A clergy
man, Jurian Epeszoon, tried to drown
his voice by clamorous prayer. The
victim summoned him to meet him
within three days at the bar of God,
and Epeszoon went home and died
within that time. While at the stake
