News OF THE NORTHWEST

dering the establishment Of a station at
the village of Emmons, this county, and
also ordering that it be maintained by
the company. The case was first begun
when Judge Kingsley, of this district,
was a member of the railroad and ware
house commission, and the station was
ordered, and he thus feels that he Is
disqualified from trying the case. The
railroad company has station at Nor
man, Iowa, little over one-half mile
from Emmons, but the greater part OF
the business is done on this side of the
state line, hence the people demand
station. As the company received q D.
per cent tax in Winnebago county to aid
in the construction of the road, it obligat-
ed itself to continue the station at Nor
man, and if the order Of the Minnesota
railroad commissioners is put In force,
there will be two stations about half
mile apart. Attorney General Douglas
named H. H. Dunn, of this city, and
Lafayette French, of Austin, to represent
the state in the action, and it is believed
to be the first suit of the kind In the
state and the result will be watched with
not little interest.

LUMBER HOOKER LOST
BRITISH SHIP AND CREW GO To
THE BOTTOM.

ASTORIA, Or, Dec. 4.-The bar tug
Tatoosh, which has just returned to port
reports that the British ship Nelson, Capt
Perriam, turned turtle last night and
went to the bottom with her entire crew
numbering twenty-eight men.
The Nelson left Astoria Nov. 25. Mon
day night she was back at the rivers
mouth and yesterday was reported 70
have shifted her cargo. She had bad
list to starboard and could go on only
one tack. Yesterday afternoon the tug
Tatoosh went out and picked up the Mel
son, passing a hawser. The tug started
off shore with the ship, owing to the
gale. 1t was the intention of Capt
Bailey, of the Tatoosh, to remain with
the ship during the night. The gale that
ragged last night was too severe for the
vessel to Withstand, and she broke from
the tug and then turned turtle, sinking
at once. In the darkness it was impos-
sible for the tug to render assistance to
the members of the crew and all persisted.
The Nelson was an old wooden vessel.
Capt. George Woods, the bar pilot, was
to have been placed aboard the ship last
night, but the weather vas too rough 20
permit it. Capt. Woods states that the
Nelson went over between 10 and II
o'clock at night, during the height of the
gale.
The Nelson carried a cargo Of lumber
and was consigned to Cape Town, South

story to the police, said: "Creelman
missed his lesson and was sent to the
foot of the class, and that made him
mad The teacher made him sit at the
blackboard, and I laughed at him. He
shook his fist at me, and when school
was out we auarreled. I started for the
engine house, and Plummer threw a
brick at me and Creelman ran up and
grabbed me by the arms. I did not think
the brick was thrown at me until it hit
me on the hand. Then 1 stuck the knife
out easy and heard his coat rip

SIOUX FALLS PRESS SAID TO BE

Editor Bowen VIII Be Obliged
to Do Many Stunts in

ism.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Dec. 4.-For the
past two or three days canvassers for
the Press have been going from one Re
publican business man to another in the
city and soliciting their subscription on
the grounds that the Press, after Jan. l,
will be 2 Republican paper, and ma
chine paper at that. Some time ago G.
L. Dotson, of Des Moines, purchased an
interest in the paper, and has assumed
the duties of business manager At the
time DotSon bought it an attempt was
made to purchase w. S. BoWens inter-
est, but the latter refused to sell. A few
days ago a Mr.. Hayes, of DeS Moines
purchased a third interest in the Press,
and in a few days the firm rame of Dot
SOP, Bowen & Hayes will fly at the mast
head of the paper. The Press has had a
checkered career since ic quit the Repub-
lican fold and it has been anxious to
get back for some time. 1t is now taking
advantage of the known split in the Re-
publican party to get back. The Press
seems to take it for granted that the Ar
gus-Leader will be an anti-machine pa
per, and thinks it sees a chance to again
roost in the Republican barnyard.
Some time ago the Press gave 1T out
that henceforth it would be an indeprnd-
ent paper, and the next step will be
straight over into the Republican camp
Some are wondering how w. S. Bowen,
who will remain editor of the paper, will
square himself for the vicious anti-Re-
publican articles which he has written
during the time that he was Senator Pet
tigrew's private secretary, and at the
same time editor of the Yankton Press

WAS KILLED roa HIS MONEY.
A Piano Tuner Accidentally Learned
of Hind Prencher,s Cash.

WOONSOCKET. S. D., Dec. 4.-The ar
rest of w. f. Reynolds, a piano man of
Sioux Falls, charged with killing the
blind colored preacher who was found
dead in a cornfeld near Ireton, Iowa, has
a peculiar interest to Rev. F. F. Case,
pastor OF the NJ. e. church here. Rev.
Mr.. Case was stationed at Alceister at
the time, and says he thinks Reynolds
first met the colored man at his house.
Reynolds was tuning Mr.. Cases piano
when the blind man came in. Mr. Case
gave him a quarter and it was dropped
in his hip pocket and seemed to rattle
on other coins. AS the colored preacher
went to the door he said some Of his
straps were giving way, and turned
back. 1t was found he had a large shot
sack half full Of bills and coin The
strap had broken and the sack had
fallen to the top of his socks.
The money sack was taken out and
put in the inside Of his vest and pinned
fast by Rev. Mr.. Case. The piano man
was there and saw the transaction. 1t
was only a few days later that the blind
preacher was found dead in the cornfeld.

Pepke, Plaintiff in Diamond Ring
Case, n Man with a History.

GRAFTON, N. D., Dec. 4.-The deci-
sion of the United States supreme court
III the case OF Emil j. Pepke VS.. The
United States, for the recovery of his
diamond rings has attracted more than
ordinary attention here, owing to the
fact that Pepke was resident of Graf
ton for several years. This is the sec
ond time he has been before the United
States supreme court. The first time he
appeared in case to test the validity of
the injunctional feature of the state pro-
hibitory law. While engaged in the ille-
gal sale of liquor he was enjoined. The
owners of the building, J. c. Oswald &
Co., decided to test the law, and it was
finally carried to the supreme court,
where the law was held constitutional.
Mr.. Pepke had rather a varied career
here. He came under the influence of the
Salvation Army, and for some time was
a vigorous eXhorter. He left just before
the outbreak of the Spanish-American
war, and for time was a soap vender.
He enlisted in Company I. Of Wahpeton,
and was wounded on the north expedition
OF the regiment, under Lawton. He re-
turned to Grafton with the local COM
pany and remained here for some time.
1t was generally known he had accumu-
lated some money and valuable stones in
the Philippines.
During the political campaign of 1900
he was bitter opponent of the govern
ment's policy in the Philippines, it being
generally supposed that the loss of his
diamonds was the cause. The people
here are glad of his good fortune.

Letter Written by George WASH
tngton, Dated July 3. ITO.
WINoNA, Mimi, Dec 4-Louis E. Lar
son, of this city, who has been collecting
autographs and curios for the past twen-,
ty years, and who now has one OF the
finest collections in Southern Minnesota.
has lust received some valuable add
tons through a friend in Michigan. The
most important of these IS an autograph
letter written by George Washington on
July 8, 1776, the day before the signing
OF the Declaration of independence The
letter is yellow and somewhat faded, but
still perfectly legible. 1t reads as fot-,
lows:
July 8. 1776-Sir: We must secure the
sulphur by seven tonight sure. Please
give bearer. Isaac Stone, twenty pouiias
specie for same.
.'By order committee of safety. Tnos-
Redman, sheriff. -,
George Washington, General.
On the opposite side is the address, 10
Isaac Pemberton, Merchant in Ph1ladel-
phia." 1t is also indorsed, Pad twenty
pounds. II carriage paid
Mr. Larson has been looking up regard
ing the committee of safety in a little
book called Signers of the Declaration of
Independence, and says that, according
to historical accounts there given, at least
five of the signers of the declaration
served on committees of safety.
Another document which Mr.. Larson
secured from Michigan is an autograph
letter of Abraham Lincoln, written at
Washington on April %, 1854 to t. J.
Pickett, Of Rock Island. Ill. The letter
is a brief one, and merely declares the
Inability of the writer to visit the ad-
dresses at an early date.
Still another autograph letter, older
than either Of these two, but not written
by so prominent person, is one that
came from the pen OF George Stevenson
in 1753 Mr.. Stevenson being surveyor gen
eral of Pennsylvania from 1850 to 1863
The last letter in this collection bears
the heading of King Georges court of,
honor, and was written in 1914 by Capt.
Colin Brickner, of the Fifth infantry, be-
ing addressed to Hon. Edward Hemstead.
Mr.. Larson prizes these epistles very
highly, considering the Washington let
ter the most valuable document in his
entire large collection.
