Rocky Ford enterprise., 1901-12-20

Expanding the country is q good
enough thing. but We are not called
on to sacrifice the interests Of this
country to those Of any other
country, not even Cuba. The
thought is bubbling up in the
minds Of . good many people that
perhaps we have done enough for
Cuba, at least for . while. The
wealth producing possibilities Of
the island are quite sulRoisnt with
ont the strangling Of our fest grow
ing and wholesome beet sugar
manufacture in order to favor
Cuban sugar. The Cubans should
be satisfied with what they have
and not seek to ruin our industries
in . reckless effort to build up
their own on the jump. Their
country is fertile in the highest
degree, and they have only to de-
velop it, to become . very rich
people. We have NO call 10 impair
our own welfare to still further en-
nance the prosperity of Cuba. =

informed that the matter had been

N. D. Newspapers Decline to Kick
Him Now He's Down.
A special from Fargo to the
Minneapolis journal says: The
state papers are commenting freely
on the incarceration of Alex Nc
Kenzie in California Jail, because
he obeyed the mandates of one
court and ran counter to the ord
ers Of another. 1t is safe to bet
that if the Judges who sentenced
him to contempt held their posi-
tions through the good will of
North Dakotans, there would be
some judicial vacancies in short
order.
Despite the abuse that has been
heaped upon Alex Mckenzie in
this state by the opposing party
leaders and a few disappointed
office seekers within the Republi-
can party, it is remarkable fact
that he is to-day probably the most
popular man who claims a resi-
dence in the state. The recent
troubles have only strengthened
his positio On and made him friends
where there was formerly lukewarm
support.
Of all the papers in the state the
only ones to roast Mckenzie were
the Richland County Gazette,
Steele Ozone and the Fargo Call.
Nearly every other publication has
had a kindly word for the big
Scotchman and there has been an
unusual demonstration of the fact
that the people do not like to jump
on man when he is down.

CITY COUNCIL.

Meets Monday Night and Discusses
the Water Works Proposition.
The city council met Monday
evening. present, Mayor Brown,
Auditor Scratass and aldermen
Cockburn. Mann, Davenport and
Hanson.
The auditor reported the list
of warrants drawn on the several
funds from Sept. l, 1900. to Feb.
,2S, 1901, amounted to S2,5O917;
cash received during that period,
S6,6S6.03: cash now on hand,
S2,0SS.56. The outstanding war
rants and bonded indebtedness
have been reduced $500, which
reduction, after paying the run
ming expenses, was considered by
the aldermen as making a good
showing for city the size of
Devils Lake.
MIR. Cockburn moved that the
sewer fund be abandoned and that
all sewer warrants be paid out of
the general fund. Carried. The
warrants outstanding against the
sewer fund amount to $633.94.
It was suggested that the $500
now in the road and bridge fund
be transferred to the general fund,
but it was the unanimous senti-
ment of the council that this fund
should not be disturbed except for
the purposes for which it was
created. It was believed that this
amount could be expended this
summer to good advantage in fix
ing up the streets and roads lead
ing lntO Town.
On inquiry of Mr.. Davenport
the auditor stated that the artesian
we'll bonds amounting to $4,000
were still outstanding, and that
the total bonded Indebtedness OF
the city at the present time was
$l4,700. In answer to an inquiry
of Mr.. Mann, the auditor stated
that $69l was the amount now in
the fire fund. The mayor stated
that the amount belonging to the
department, which has been in
the hands of the Ramsey county
bank for several years, could be
obtained when needed.
The subject of water works was
then brought up and thoroughly
discussed. but no action was taker
on Mr.. Tompkins' proposition
Mr.. Mann was of the opinion tina
Mr.. Tompkins should be notified
that unless the street lights were
turned on evenings before the
moon came up that his bills in thu
future would be cut down. Ap
parently the street lights we're rur
strictly on a moonlightschedule
and if the moon refused to shin,
according to the almanac the cit.
would be in darkness. Mr.. Mann
didn't think the city was getting
square deal on the light question
and he therefore was not in favo
of Mr.. Tompkins' water work
scheme. The mayor stated tina
the city had not as yet entered in
to contract with Tompkins fo
lights, and the matter of light
could be regulated to the council
satisfaction before the contrac
was signed.
The mayor stated that he hat
received letters from several firm
and cities relative to the cost o
putting in water works systems
the cost of pipes, laying the same
etc. and that the price asked b,
Tompkins for water mains for fir
protection, (S7OO a year, was abou
the average cost for cities of thi
size. G. O. Russell stated on behal
,of Mr.. Tompkins that as furthe
concession on his part if the cit
would accept his proposition tina
he would agree to supply the pub
| lie school building with waite

main to the building. The alder
men didn't take kindly. to thi

urer Of the Indianapolis Baseball Club and
a partner in the business with Mr.. Wat

ter to President Ban johnson. of the Amer
lean League, asking for the return of the

the indianapolis club as a guarantee 20

league. The Indianapolis fve-year fran
chise expired last fall, and, as Indianapolis
will not be a member of the American
League this year. the Indianapolis gentle
men wish to withdraw their guarantee
money. Mr.. Ruschaupt says he was not
surprised at the recent statement issued
by johnson to the effect that indianapolis
was TO be dropped, as this city was a
trouble-maker. He said Johnson tried to
pull the wool over the eyes of Watkins and
himself.
Mr. Ruschaupt says he has received
many letters from the players and they
say they will be with Watkins next season.
A few of them were inclined to stick with
the Players Brotherhood and go 10 john

Watkins made the best move of his life
when he broke away from Johnson. Mr..
Ruschaupt says he does not believe that
Indianapolis will lose a single player who
will go to the American League.
Mr.. Ruschaupt has received letter from
President Watkins saying that everything
is progressing nicely for the American As

BURNS ACTED QUEERLY
HE MYsTIFIED THE OFFICERS IN
THE CRIMINAL COURT.
Tried on a Charge of Stealing n Dia-
mond Ring-GambIing Cases.
other Court Matters.

There was a sensational scene in the
Criminal Court room yesterday afternoon.
when Arthur G. Burns was brought before
Judge Afford to be tried on the charge OF
grand larceny. II is alleged in the indict-
ment that he stole diamond ring from
Minnie Cole, of West Ohio street. The in
dictment was returned against Burns with
a number of others by the grand jury
Thursday. He pleaded not guilty before
Judge Afford. When he returned to the
Jail he appeared to be dazed, and Thurs
DAY night gave signs OF insanity. He would
call out during the night, Don't tell
mother: don't tell mother. The angels
are coming; the angels are coming" Yes
terday morning he had quoted down to
an extent. but in the afternoon, when he
was taken into the Criminal Court TO
be tried, he again became very nervous.
Burns was not put on the stand, but evil
dence was heard against him. While the
testimony was being given, Burns would
frequently jump from his seat, look around
in frightened T. amer and throw up his
hands. At no time during the trial did
he speak. The question of his sanity was
discussed before him. but he seemed not
to hear. Judge Afford said he would con-
tinue the case till this morning and sec
II there was any change In Burnss condi-
ton after he had slept. When the depu-
ties advanced to take him back to jail,
Burns threw up both hands and began cry
ing in a most violent manner. Large tears
rolled down his cheeks, as he repeatedly
cried: Don't tell mother; don't tell
mother: don't tell mother"
Judge Afford, Prosecutor Ruckelshaus
and all the officers are mystified over the
strange actions of Burns. The detectives
say he has been arrested before, and is
playing insane. They say he played the
role OF an insane man once before. Tho
physicians who were summoned to care
for him think it is perhaps severe at
tack of hysteria, induced by the mental
strain he has undergone. At the jail he
was given a hypodermic injection, and last
night was resting easily.
Minnie Cole charges that Burns came to
her house under the pretense Of renting
room. Her diamond ring was lying on
piece of furniture in the room. and when
he left, she says, she missed 1t. The de.
tectives were notified. They arrested
Burns, who willingly took the officers TO
his room and gave them the ring. He
said the woman, with others, was flirting
with him, and gave him the ring to wear.

Fort Wayne Democrats appear to be
much stirred over the two bills introduced
in the Legislature Thursday providing for
amendments TO the Fort Wayne charter.
The Democrats in the Legislature who are
interested in the matter. have had copies
OF the bills made. and Representative Lout-
tit left for Fort Wayne yesterday after
noon TO consult with some of the Demo-
cratic leaders. The Republicans say their
interest in the bills Is TO have the police
and fire departments Of Fort Wayne
placed under non-partisan control. 1t Is
claimed that some of the Republicans of
Fort Wayne are as much opposed TO the
amendments as the Democrats. One DEM
ocratic resident of Fort Wayne said that
some of the provisions of the amendments
are satisfactory to the Democrats, but
they are strictly in favor of what is called
home rule" One of the bills in
troduced by Mr.. Bonham, and the other by
Mr. Bell Both were introduced in the
House, and have been referred to the COM
mittee on cities and towns. Mr.. Bon

the mother of the child was sitting in the

heard gentle breathing coming from within
the coffin. She hurriedly called the other
members OF the family, and they, too,
heard the breathing. The child had died so
suddenly that the peculiar pallor of death
was absent, and they supposed the child
was yet alive. DIR. Boynton was hastily
summoned, but after a thorough examina-
ton and several tests. he pronounced the
child dead. He said, however, that IL any
noise was heard coming from the body, 1t
was caused by a certain gas which gener-
ates where anyone has died suddenly. He
said the child had been dead at least forty
eight hours. A large crowd gathered and
great excitement prevailed for a few min
