MURDER CASE REVIVED.
Solution of the Schultz Murder My.
/.

Solution Of the Schultz Murder Mys-
terry Is Probable.
Cherokee, Sept. 4.-The correspondent
of the st. Paul Dispatch wires his pa
per as follows:
Six years ago this fall an aged
couple by the name of Schultz, living
sixteen miles southwest of here, We're
murdered. The old people had between
$1,000 and s., 500 hidden in the house, $500
being in the old Bible. Only small!
part of the money was taken. Detec-
tives and local authorities have worked
on the case ever since. Three years ago
man by the name of Skinner was tried
for the crime, but was acquitted. The
murdered woman had two brothers
George and John Montaghney, living
near. Both brothers are well-to-dc
farmers. Suspicion has pointed fin
ger towards the brothers from the first
but there was nothing definite. Since
that time Georges mind has become
unbalanced and he has been at the asy-
lum for some time. Johns wife died
from nervous decline. Recently there
has been trouble in the family and q
son of George has turned states evi.
dence, and the matter is now before the
grand jury. Both brothers and theil
families as well as a foster son Of John
by the name of George Goodrich, have
been called before the jury. If the boy.
confession lie accepted there will be {
solution of one of the dark crimes Of oul
county's history.

PRIESTS HOLD RETREAT.
Over 100 Catholic Priests in Conferences
at DUBUQUE.

over l60 Catholic Priests in Conference
at Dubuque.
Dubuque, Sept 4.-The annual retreat
for the priests of the dioceses OF Du-
sbuque convened last night in s.. Jo-
iseph's college. Nearly all the priests
of the diocese are in attendance, 1862
being registered at noon.s More are ex-
Hpected this evening. Bishop 'Gorman,
of Sioux Falls arrived yesterday and is
delivering the lectures. He is very
scholarly man and the priests are
charmed with his eloquence. AS the
lectures are exclusively for priests,
what the bishop says can not be re-
ported. The dignity and the priesthood
and the duties thereof comprize, for the
most part, the subject matter of the dis
courses.
Much regret is expressed that Arch
bishop Keane is not present at the con-
ferences. 1t would have been his first
retreat with the priests of Dubuque and
great results We're expected to follow.
One thing noticeable about the retreat
is the large numbr of western priests in
attendance. Nearly every pastor of the
proposed Sioux City diocese is present
and much discussion concerning the rel
alive merits of the candidates for the
Sioux City episcopacy, Is expected.
Many petitions. 1t is said, have been cir
culating among the priests and specula-
ton is ripe as to what force they will
have with Rome,

Jefferson, Sept. fluctuations point

so that the side view was obscured, and

GIRL IN FLAMES.
Careless Smoker Drops . Match in .
Girls Dress at the Park.

Dubuque, Sept 4.-Miss Alice Martin,
daughter Of James Martin, of 222 Dodge
street, was very seriously burned by her
dress catching fire at the Shooting Park
Monday. She was enveloped in flames
and it is almost miracle that she was
not fatally injured.
The accident happened at about 4
o'clock. Miss Martin was with a party
Of young ladies' standing near the pa
vilion watching the crowd. There was a
great crowd at the picnic and people
were on all sides of Miss Martin. Her
shrill scream was the first intimation of
the victim. Her cry attracted the atten-
ton of hundreds and she was seen en-
gveloped in flames
The supposition is that some person
in lighting cigar dropped the match on
the ground near where Miss Martin
stood and that the lace on her skirt
caught fire. She was dressed in light
linflammable material that burned like
powder. The poor girl Gid not have time
to realize what was wrong. The spread
of the flames was so quick that mo-
,aent after She felt the pain that moved
her to screams her dress was ablaze.
She started to run, but some men
caught her. threw her to the ground and
beat out the flames with their coats. She
was carried into the bowling alley and
from there removed to the residence OF
Mr.. Buntz, the park manager. She had
tainted and 1t was at first thought she
was fatally burned. She revived, how
ever. after che was taken into Mr..
Buntz's home, but was in terrible agony.
Women in the crowd assisted In attend
Ing her and home remedies were used
to allay the pain until physicians ar
rived, after which she was removed to
her home.
Her agonies are very severe, but un-
less some complication arises she will
recover. Her face fortunately escaped
uninjured, tho her hair was singed. Her
limbs and body are very seriously
turned. The fire seemed to go up her
left side and burned her left arm badly.

Struck BY q Train.

Davenport. Sept. 4.-Mr. and Mrs
George Swan, of 7O7 West Second street
were struck by west bound train from
Clinton at 6:55 o'clock last evening. AS
they were driving from the end of the
bridge they were caught by the moving
engine, their horse being struck by the
engine with such force that it sepa-
rated from the buggy and itself hurled
q fence many: feet away. Just after the
train had struck the horse and was
about to strike the buggy Mr.. Swan
jumped to the ground grasping his wife
and throwing her to the ground at the
same time. This was not done second
too soon. That Mr.. and Mrs Swan es-
capped being killed was considered unus-
ually fortunate by all the eye wit
nesses, in fact 1t was considered almost
a',rniracle.

but against the native police as we'll.
There is no such thing now as an or
ganized insurrection. The fighting and
resistance to our troops is kept up by
ladrones. The country is peculiarly
favorable for brigandage. 1t is rough;
and timbered and filled with swamps
In the lower country and with ravines
In the higher regions. A gang of fifteen
or twenty men can lurk about in hid
ing and simply terrorize community.
The natives have not learned to pros
tect themselves against these brigands.
They prefer to pay tribute to them. An
American community would simply
turn In and clear them out But the
natives will not. asked them why
they did not take measures to protect
themselves and why they seemed to
hesitate to aid the Americans in clear
ing out these brigands. Their reply
would be they were afraid they would
be attacked and killed and their prop
erty destroyed as soon as the Ameri-
cans left.
How long will it be until the islands
are Quilted down sufficiently to make
1t safe for the interior to be exploited 2"
That is hard to say. 1t will depend
largely on ourselves. II we could cree
ate conditions go that persons desiring
to enter the interior and take up min
ling claims and other property could do
SO. the question would be solved. A
reign Of quiet would be forced on the
islands. just as it was in the wild west
ern country years ago. believe con-
gress should take up the matter and
remove the restrictions that prevent
Americans from obtaining any conces-
sions in the way Of land or other prop
erty. AS it is. the claims are taken up
by English and German and Scotch.
These people are fling right along on
all the best parts Of the island. OF
course, the Americans can file. but that
is all they can do, and generally they
are too busy to go to the trouble OF
doing it. Besides the Europeans stand
in with the insurgents. and always
have. They can get into the interior in
safety and it is their policy to dis
courage Americans who contemplate
investigating in the islands. / believe
congress should take notice Of this con-
dition of things; that it should disre-
gard the filings OF other than Ameri-
4 can citizens and give the latter the
/ preference"
