by the Indians and there has been
much trouble from time TO time on thar

the Indians have learned how their

their holdings on the Warmers Ranch
reservation and move away and they
fear similar action in their own case
If the whites are permitted further to
encroach upon their territory. So far
as known here no blood has been shed
up to the present time but the Indians
are said to have warned the settlers
against remaining upon their reserva-

time.

serves Extreme Penalty.

Detroit, April 12-At midnight to-
| night 72 hours after Professor Joseph
M. Miller murdered Miss Carrie M
| Jennett, with a hatchet, he was in
jackson prison, sentenced to spend
the rest Of his life there at hard Ia
Dor. He was arraigned in the record
er's court this morning on the charge
of murder.
His attorney, who was appointed by
the court, raised the question of Mil
ler's sanity and Judge Murphy ac-
cordingly appointed commission Of
three alienists to examine Miller.
His plea was withheld pending their
examination. After careful exam
ination, the physicians came into
court this afternoon and announced
that they were agreed that there were
no symptoms of insanity in the de-
fendant.
Miller was then ordered to plead
and the confessed murderer said in
low voice:
Guilty"
Evidence was then introduced to
prove the death of Miss Jennett. At
its conclusion Miller's attorney, E E.
Chamberlain. addressed the court. He
congratulated the police department
on their efficient work in running
down the murderer and securing his
confession and said that he had no
sympathy with Miller, who deserved
the extreme penalty of the law.
In sentencing Miller Judge Murphy
called him a demon and said that he
considered that the sentence he was
about to impose on him was made
quate to his horrible crime. Miller
was taken back to Jail, where he re-
NAMED until he left for the station.

John Donavan Caught by Descending
Elevator and Life Slowly
Crushed Out.

st. Paul, April 13.-John Donavan,
night fireman and watchman of the
Ryan annex, met with ter
rible end between $50 and 6:3O this
morning. He was caught in the space
between the elevator and the sixth
floor and was slowly squeezed to
death. He was discovered dead at
7:05 by Carl j.. Fristedt, the elevator
man.
The first intimation that something
was wrong in the building was when
at GIG, this morning Donavan failed
to turn in his watchman's box at the
A. D. T.
Donavan started the elevator, which
is a slow one, and, after getting in,
reached his hand out for his lantern.
He must have miscalculated the speed
of the elevator, and before he could
withdraw his hand with the lantern
he was caught by the elevator and
slowly crushed between the floor and
the top of the cage. When he was
discovered the lantern was lying on
it's side on the floor. He had pipe
in his mouth.
The effects of the terrible crushing
could easily be seen when the body
was viewed by the coroner this morn
ing. The heavy caging made of steel
and brass was bent and twisted. The
safety clutch was set by the block
ing of the space by the body. Donavan

A LITERARY GOVERNOR.
A River Story by Governor Van SAINT
Is Published.

Governor Van SAINT of Minnesota
has an interesting story of old steam
boating days on the Mississippi in the
last Philadelphia Saturday Evening
Post. The part played by the Mis-
sissippi in the making of the west is
illustrated by the big loads of supplies
carried by the boats in early days. On
one occasion a steamer towed enough
lumber to load railroad tram two
miles long. The supplies for the
early settler and the seed from which
the northwest has developed into one
of the great grain raising sections of
the world were brought in by the river
route.
Governor Van SAINT reasons that the
river will regain it's old Importance as
highway of traffic with the COM
pletion of the isthmian canal. Going
back to the old water route means
low rates and the northwest should
favor the building Of the big canal.
Passenger traffic is not dead letter
on the river, and the excursion bust
ness is becoming important. The gov
ernor discusses some OF the old river
pilots and gives interesting remi-
niscences of speed trials.

Strange Influence Over Her.
Detroit, April 12.-The only new de-
yelopments today in the Haywood
mystery was the admission by Mrs.
Haywood that she had been intimate
with William Jones, the roomer in
Haywood's house, who is under arrest
on suspicion of killing her husband.
She said he had an influence over her
which she could not understand.
II am Just beginning to come out
of the spell which he has cast over
me-" she said.
When Jones was arrested Mrs. Hay
wood insisted that he did not leave
the house on the night Haywood was
murdered and that she did not believe
it was he who first shot her husband
and then crushed his skull with some
blunt probably a hammer
Today, however. Mrs. Haywood says
that she agrees with the theory of the
police that Jones stole out of the
house about o'clock Thursday morn
ing and committed the murder
Tonight Mrs. Haywood is sick in
bed, under the care of physician
The police say they are convinced that
she knows nothing about the murder.
Jones was in the "sweat box'' again
this afternoon, but nothing was CLEAN
ed from him by the officers. He is
cooler, if anything, than when he was
first arrested.
The police maintain that Mrs. Hay
woods admission today of the illicit
relations she had with Jones furnishes
a double motive for him to destroy
Haywood.
He probably wanted, they say, to
marry Mrs. Haywood. and also to Sc
cure the $4,000 life insurance which
Mr.. Haywood carried and his proper
ty, worth about $4,000 more.
