The Line is Located


/. @ .Jonte finished the work OF
locating the c. q n. w. line from
Pelican to Crandon last week and
his crew has moved ont. MIR.
Jonte and his boys made many
friends here by their gentleman
| ly manners and strict attention
to business, The Crandon end
of the line is located thusi Cros.
hsing the Pelican stage road with
in 60 feet of George Rorer's barn,
it turns north east, crosses the
range line road near the quarter
post between sections 81 and 36,
and again crosses the Pelican
road at the big spring; then with
a slight carve to the north, it
runs directly north east across
the ''sugar BUSH and the big
clearing to a point about 20 rods
east of Lake Avenue on the nor
thern side Of tht heading plant.
The located line can be readily
distinguished from preliminary
line, as the located line has its
tally-stake numbers marked in
dark red figures preceded by the
letter L; whereas the fignres on
a preliminary tally stake are
blue. The last tally stake reads
927 plus %, which means that it
is 927 hundred plus 28 feet from
from the main line at Pelican
Lake. Dividing this distance
| by $3.50 feet in a mile. it will oe
seen that the Crandon terminus
lis just II aud 6 tenths miles from
the main line. This is quite Q
bit shorter than the preliminary
run in August and September
The route as shown by the topo-
graphical map, as an easy one,
no grade exceeds / per cent.
that is foot iii a hundred, and
of much of the distance the
gradiant does not exceed half Of
/ per cent The curves are also
easy and we'll located The pro-
file shows that the construction
will not be expensive, as the fills
are mostly within the thousand
foot limit. Mr., Jonte feels pleas
ed to be able to make such an ex-
cellent showing through a coun-
try whose face appears SO rough.
Several times, to use his own
words, thought he was 'up a..
gainst it," but at such times, a
diligent search of the surround
ing country gave him an oppor-
tunity to escape from what seem
ed to be hopeless trap.
Now, that the line is located,
we shall soon know at what time
the cutting out of the right of
waS and grading will begin.
The contractors went over the
line last week ard are reported
to have said that they prefer to
begin work at once, rather than
10 wait Tor spring. Quite likely
their preference wllltprevail.

Director Murphy Finds He Was JUS
titled in Slugging the Mayor of
Allegheny.
PITTSBURG, Pa, March 14.-Police
Captain James Thornton, of Allegheny,
who was suspended on account of his
encounter yesterday afternoon with
Mayor James G.. Wyman, has been re-
instated and will take up his duties at
once. This action was taken this
afternoon by Director Murphy, after a
hearing of the case. The director COM
pletely exonerated Captain Thornton
and ordered him to go home and get
his uniform and report for duty.
Director Murphy said that he had in
vited Mayor Wyman to be present and
give his stament, but that the mayor
had refused, sending letter in reply.
In his letter, Mayor Wyman said that
he did not think it proper for the
mayor of the city who was in authority
over the different departments, to be
present at a hearing held by one of
them. In his statement of his encoun-
ter with Captain Thornton he said the
attack on him was without provoca-
ton.

OF the Republican Porto Rican Tariff
Measure in Course of Preparation.
INDIANAPOLIS, March 1.-THE
Sentinel tomorrow will say:
Zone of the most prominent Repub-
licans in Indiana, who has just return
ed from Washington and is known to
be very close to the Mckinley admin
istration, is authority for the state
ment that defense of the Puerto Ri
can tariff bill is being prepared that
will show the politicians that the en-
actment of the bill, instead of being
blunder was the shrewdest campaign
move of the age. He says this de-
Tense is in the hands of Senator Frye,
who will spring it in the Senate in
due season. 1t will be shown, he
says, that the Sugar and tobacco trusts
were opposing the bill with might and
main and that their demand was for
free trade with all the colonies. 1t
will further be shown, he says, that it
was the intention of the trusts to
squat in the colonies and flood
America with their cheap products.
which would have the effect to drive
countless thousands of laboring men
out of house and home. Even the ap-
proximate reduction in wages of
American laboring men is being figured
for compaign purposes, he says.
"The Indiana Republicans must not
form the impression that our Con-
gressmen are FOOLS" he said. If they
had adopted free trade measure the
Democrats would have had every labor
union in the country adopting scathing
resolutions against us, and then we
would have been in the hole"

NEW YORK. March 1.-THE police
carried out their threat tonight and
arrested the proprietors of most of
the fashionable restaurants, including
the proprietor of the Imperial Hotel,
on the charge of having music in their
restaurants without concert hall
license. The police also visited such
places as the Hotel Majestic, the Marie
Antoinette, the ST. Andrew and the
Empire, ordering that the music be
stopped.
Intense indignation was manifested
by some of those who came under the
severe hand of the police tonight and
they were enraged that they should
be arrested in the same class with Of
tenders like the proprietors of the
Tivoli, the Bohemia, the Cairo cafe
and other places of unsavory reputa-
ton.
The manager of Sherry's was COM
PEELED to send his musicians home,
owing to the fact that he did not have
a concert hall license. The Waldorf
Astoria has a concert hall license and
the merry strain of music was heard
in that vicinity throughout the even
ing.
The managers of the Buckingham
the Savoy and the Netherland, all on
Fifth avenue, also received notice to
stop their orchestras until they Sc
cured concert hall licenses and they
complied with this order.
This action was taken by the police
after a consultation of Inspector
Thompson and several Of the captains
at the tenderloin station. Detectives
were sent out about Z o'clock during
the busy hour of the restaurants and
tonight brought back a number OF
prisoners. The prisoners gave bail
promptly and were outspoken in their
denunciation of the action of the po-
lice as were the patrons of the restau-
rants. Captain Donahue. of the West
Forty seventh street police station
sent out his man to stop all music,
but they made no arrests. The restsl-
rants in the precinct had to get along
without orchestras. The same treat
ment was served out to all the prom
inent restaurant proprietors in the up
town districts.
A summons was served on Michael
Stanley to appear before a magistrate
and explain why he permitted music
in his restaurant on Tuesday night.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, March n
The coroners jury, which has been
hearing evidence as to the cause of
the recent disaster at Red Ash mine,
to-day returned the following YER
dict:
I'VE, the jury, find that B. B. Long
and others came to their death by rea-
son of an explosion of gas in Red
Ash mine, in Fayette county, w. Va,

Evidence at the inquest showed that
the men entered the mine before the
fire boss had examined and reported
on its condition, also that there was
probability that the workmen leaving
the mine on the night previous to
the explosion left one or more venti-
lating doors open. Up to date total
of forty-seven dead have been remov-
ed from Red Ash mine. Others taken
out, though badly injured, will re-
cover Only two more known to have
been in the mine are not yet account

WASHINGTON, March 14.-In a
paroxysm of inexplicable rage or pos
sible insanity, Olof Pallesen, Nor
wegian, stabbed and killed his wife
Josephine, murdered little Julia Hen

of Charles F. Hengesbach, mail car
rier, and murderously assaulted the
child's mother, Mary Hengesbach, this

Mrs. Hengesbach now lies near the
verge of death in the Columbia hospi-
tai, with seven stab wounds in her
body. inflicted by the Infatuated Nor

Pallesen narrowly escaped being
stoned to death at the hands of a
crowd of citizens which congreated
about the scene of the killing, and
| only the prompt arrival of the police
prevented him from being roughly
| handled by the people.
The motive for the crime is not
definitely known. The only key to the
situation is furnished by the mans
four-year-old son, who told the police
man that his father had been sick and
| that his mother tried to get him to
| take some medicine and that he got
mad. Pallesen struck his wife with
his fist while they were in the parlor.
She Immediately ran out and Pallesen
| followed her into the front yard,
where he stabbed her near the heart,
killing her almost instantly. Mrs.
Hengesbach was in the house with her
child, to have some dressmaking work
done when the trouble occurred, and
as soon as she saw what had taken
place she called for help. This an
gered the man and he made lunge at
her, but missing her stabbed the child,
who died some time afterward. Mrs.
Hengesbach snatched up her child in
her arms and started to run. She ha6
almost reached the corner when Pal

helpless woman frightfully on the

MARIETTA, O., March 14.-There
was buried at the little town of Macks
burg, this county, to-day the body of
an unknown man whose rash act in
hanging himself in Colorado caused
grief in a well known Washington
necessary expense. On the long jour-
ney from Colorado to Macksburg the
corpse was guilty of false pretense,
passing under another mans name.
Ten years ago Charles Schilling,
then nineteen, left Macksburg and
went to Colorado in search of health
Nothing further was heard from him
until few days since, when his rela-
tives received telegram stating that
he had committed suicide March by
hanging himself. The telegram was
belated and the body had been buried
ten days when the relatives sent word
to the Colorado authorities to disinter
the remains and ship them to his home.
This was done, the family of young
SchiHing meanwhile mourning the sad
end of the son and brother
When the casket arrived yesterday
the relatives were amazed to find that
it contained the body of an old man,
gray-haired, with all the marks of adj
vanced years. The features were dis
similar in every respect from those of
young Schilling, and the telegraph
wires were kept hot between this city
and Colorado until it was discovered
that Schilling was alive and well near
Boulder, Colorado, and had yesterday
called at the postoffice in that town
for his mail.
The body shipped here had the
marks of a rope around the neck, but
it has been absolutely impossible to
trace the identity of the unfortunate
man. The remains were taken in
charge by the authorities and buried.
The telegram received by the Schil-
ling family notifying them of the
death is also unexplained, and it is
the general belief that there is deep
mystery connected with the affair.
