CHANGES HIS PLEA TO GUILTY.
Samuel R. Howell Throws Himself
Upon the Mercy of the Court.
Special to The Globe.

Upon the Mercy of the Court.
Special to The Globe.
ST. CLOUD, Mimi, Nov. 26.-Lawrence
r. Howell, for year or more travelling
salesman for the st. Cloud Grocery
company, changed his plea of not guilty
to one of guilty on a charge of grand
larceny in the second degree.
Senator Brewer, attorney for Mr.. How
ell, made statement to the court in
Which he reviewed the case at some
length. He said that while his client
might technically be guilty of embezzle-
ment. there was quite question as to
it. The Indictment charges him with the
embezzlement of $212.22 on Nov. "A, 1860
Senator Brewer said that no effort would
be made to refute the claim that he had
collected that amount OF money on that
date. He. said that Mr.. Howell came to
ST. Cloud, and to the members of the
firm confessed that he was short that
amount. 1t was fixed UP then by his Civ
ing a due bill for the amount, and tne
arrangement made that the sum OF $25
per month, one-third of his salary,
should be held out until such a time
as the shortage was made up. He claims
that the amount has not only been paid,
but that q small balance is due him from
the grocery company. Senator brewer,
in changing the plea of his client, asked
that the court hear the evidence of al
those interested and able to throw nght
on the subject before imposing sentence,
and when the court had been fully IN
formed on the matter to deal WIN the
defendant as the law requires and the
eXigencies of the case demands. The
witnesses in the case were discharged,
and Judge Searle will take evidence in
the case, under oath, later in the term.
A second indictment against Mr.. How
ell charges him with grand larceny in
the first degree, the claim being made
that at another time he embezzled the
sum of $685.

SMALLPOX SPREADING.
Stricken People Ignore the Restric
tions of Quarantine.
Special to The Globe.

Special to The Globe.
LA CROSSE. Wis, Nov. 26.-There is
a well grounded fear that, in spite of the
hitherto successful efforts of Health Off
Ger Murphy, La Crosse is to be subjected
to an epidemic of smallpox This appre-
hepsion is based upon the apathy with
which certain town officials regard the
disease, and on the stubborn failure OF
the people in afflicted communities to CO.
operate with the officers in their efforts
to wipe out the malady.
In the past the danger to La Crosse
has come from surrounding Wisconsin
towns and it has been possible to meet
every danger Now a new and formida-
Bile menace to the health Of the city APP
pears in a general epidemic, covering al
most the entire area of Houston county,
which joins La Crosse county on the
Minnesota side. Smallpox has appeared
in nearly every township, and in some
instances in malignant forms. Twice
within the past two weeks has the La
Crosse health department compelled the
institution of guarantees by threatening
to exclude entire townships from traffic
with La Crosse. One case was in the
town of Campbell. The second was IN
the town of New Hartford. Mimi, where
nearly thirty cases have developed as
the result of the attendance of a small
poX patient at a wedding.
TO show the disinclination of people in
general to regard quarantine measures
seriously. the health department cites
the family of a wealthy farmer was af-
fiicted with the disease. He employed
no physician, and the entire family cir
culated freely in that community Hav-
ing been informed of the facts the health
department sent an agent to the house.
Uron his approach two children WAC
were i'll were hidden and the officer was
deceived. Since that time many cases
have broken out in Mound Prairie, at
least one of which will prove fatal
In the town of La Crescent three miles
west, a village through which every
farmer from Minnesota who trades in
this city must pass, a young man named
Bowman was stricken with the disease.
He contracted it at the New Hartford
wedding. He persisted in ignoring the
quarantine, repeatedly attempting to en-
ter stores and public places, until Health
Officer Bracken arrived from st. Paul
and threatened to cause his arrest I'M
less he obeyed the authorities. By this
time nearly every inhabitant of the town
was either directly or indirectly exposed
to the disease.
Almost the entire farming country of
Houston county is contiguous to La
Crosse and does it's trading here. and
unless all communication is forbidden foc
time, it seems highly improbable that
this city can maintain its reputation of
being almost the only city in Wisconsin
which is practically free from smallpox.

A BRILLIANT IDEA.
How New County Can Be Formed
Out of Shreds and Patches.

Special to The Globe.
SIOUX FALLS. S. D., Nov. 26.-The
residents of the southern portion of
McCook county have got it all figured
out how they can have a county seat
town situated within easy reach of them.
Salem the present county seat, is located
in the north central part of the county,
al the junction point of the Omaha and
Northwestern railroads. Residents of
Bridgewater and vicinity, when they
want to go to the county seat by rail-
road, at present have to travel southeast
over the Milwaukee road to Parker. in
Turner county. and then northwestward
over the North-W Western road to Salem.
The plan determined upon by those who
do not like the present roundabout route
to the county seat is to have the next
legislature detach two townships from
Hutchinson county, three from Turner
county, one from Minnehaha, and the
southern tier of townships from Nc
Cook county ten in all. and organize
them into the county of Bridgewater,
with the city of Bridgewater. a Milwan-
kee railroad town. as the county seat.
The promoters of the plan are in earn
est, and will send a strong lobby to
Pierre during the next meeting of the
legislature to secure the necessary leg

practitioners of this part of the state,
was placed on trial in the district court
this morning on the charge of having
failed to report a contagious disease to

The warrant for Dr. Huberts arrest
was issued on July &c on complaint of
Dr. J. B. Dunn, city health officer, by

smallpox, and that DR.. Hubert prescribed
for him and attended him during mis- ILL.,
ness; that he was the only physician in
attendance, and that ne wilfully failed
to report in writing the presence of a
contagious disease to the city board OF
health, as is required by law in such
cases.
At the time Of the issuance of the war
rant DIR. Hubert was doing the Pam
