THE BARTHoLIN FAMILY.
The Family of the Alleged Murderer William BarthoIin, is Prominent
 in Denmark.

Chicago, Aug. 29.-The Daily News
 says: According to information un-
 earthed here, William Bartholin,
 wanted by the police in connection
 with the murder of his mother and
 the disappearance of his sweetheart,
 Miss Minnie Mitchell, is a member of
 the noble house of Bartholin- -Eichel,
 in Denmark. It has also been discov-
 cred that he has a half-brother, Fred
 erick Bartholin, now living in Chica-
 go, prosperous and highly respected. | The house of Bartholin was found ed in 1880, when Dr. Bartho holin-Eichel was made baronet for 'distin- guished services" Since then the house has stood high in the counsels | of the Danish court, it's members oc- cupying important positions. The line | descends without a blot until half a century ago. Casper Bartholin was (and still is, at the age of 82 years) the reigning baronet, presiding over the lands, estates and castle of As trup. His brother was William Peter Earth olin, who became the father of the Will Bartholin for whom the po- lice of the country are on the look out. Being a younger son, William Peter Bartholin had no estates, but by the influence of his family was made warden of the royal castle at Ribe, where he was made a knight of his own. He married the Countess Gottholdine Grevencopp-Casten of Great Frederickslund castle. Two sons were born-Georgen, now editor of the National Tidende, the largest newspaper in Copenhagen, and Fred ericll, who now lives in Chicago.
 A German servant girl was taken into the family, and after a few years of married life Bartholin eloped to America with the servant, taking with him, it is alleged, a large amount of public money which had been intrust- ed to his care. The deserted wife, after a few years. secured a divorce, and married Bishop Hans Tornoe of Copenhagen, one of the dignitaries pf the Lutheran church.
 Meanwhile all did not go we'll with the younger son. He served through out the civil war, leaving the German serving maid to her own devices. When the war was over he returned to Chicago and married her. and in 1872, Will Bartholin, the present fugitive, was born. After various vicissitudes, the father died at the soldiers home at Milwaukee, Wis.
 The next public attention given to this wayward limb of the noble house was when the police began the search for Minnie Mitchell, who was sup posedly murdered, and in their search discovered the mutilated remains of Mrs. Bartholin in the basement of her house.
 Frederick Bartholin, until recently, did not know that his father was in this country, although he was familiar with the story of his fathers down. fall.

HE WAS OSTRAC|ZEO
Ambassador Powell Clayton's
Son Challenged to Fight
a Duel
THREE TIMES BY A MEXICAN
OFFICER AND EACH TIME
REFUSED.
Was Ostracsed at Mexican Capital,
Resulting in Detachment From
Fathers Staff.


The st. Louis Republic of Sunday
contains the following story which
will be read with interest by the pco-
pie of Arkansas:
Lieutent Powell Clayton, Jr., United
States army, the son of the ambassa.
dor to the city of Mexico, has recently
been detached from his fathers staff
and assigned to the cavalry stationed
at Fort Myer, Va.
Concerning this change there is a
story not down in the military recor1s
During the Christmas holidays, young
Clayton and some of the American
companions of the boy, were engaged
in an argument concerning American
policies in the Orient and the Antilles
There were present several Mexican
officers and the argument became
quite heated. The scene was a hotel
lobby, where all had gathered to at
tend some social function. The Mexi-
cans said some things which the Amer
cans. particularly young Clalton, re-
sented. Finally the lie was passed and
the entire company became involved
in blows.
That night a Mexican officer form
ally waited on Mr.. Clayton and, in be-
half of one of the belligerents challeng.
ed him to a duel Mr.. Clayton ex-
planned that he could not fight, his
commission in the United States army
forbidding, in the strongest terms,
any such performance. The Mexican
three times renewed his challenge
and then finally Mr.. Clayton was ex
PEELED from the clubs in the city. AT
the same time a prominent official
intimated to the ambassador that his
sons position in society at the Mexi
can capital had been compromised and
the wise course was for him to with
, draw
1t was pointed out that the customs
of the city might differ from those ol
the United State, but that, neverthe-
less, it would be very painful for Lieu
tenant Clayton to be ignored on every
side.
