zElGNER HEARING
Both Sides Introduce Evidence
About Competency.
Fear that Adam Schumacher Will
Secure Mrs. Zeigner's Property
the Cause of the Trouble.

The hearing over the appointment
of guardian for Henrietta Zeigner
occupied all of Saturday afternoon
and this forenoon, in the probate
court. Evidence was introduced to
show incompetency on the part of
Mrs. Zeigner. 1t was claimed that
some time ago she bargained to sell
property of the value of &c., for
So, 900, and that only the Intervention
of friends prevented the consumma-
tion of the sale. It was claimed that
Adam Schumacher exerts strong in
huence over her.
On the other hand, several business
men testified that as far as their ex-
perience went, Mrs. Zeigner was fully
able to conduct her affairs without
assistance.
Mrs. Zeigner took the stand on her
own behalf and claimed that she Wa
all right and..did not want guardian.
She claimed that she and Adam Schu-
macher had been joined in common
law marriage few days ago in an
attorneys Office in this city.
Mr.. Schumacher was active in
securing evidence for Mrs. Zeigner
this forenoon. While w. N.Plymat
was arguing the case for the petit
toner, it is claimed that Schumacher
made some threats against him. He
approached Mr.. Plymat afterwards,
but made no threats, although he
claimed that Mr.. Plymat had made
some wrongful reflections on him dur
ing his argument.
W. N. .Plymat and W. L. Comstock
appeared for Mrs. Mary T. Schmidt,
who asked to have E. R. Kennedy ap'
pointed guardian for her foster
mother. Arthur Schaub and q. L.
Schmitt appeared for. Mrs. Zeigner.
Mr.. Kennedy does not desire to be
appointed. guardian, and the name Of
A. G.. Roemer has been suggested.
The court has the matter under con
sideration.
The whole trouble seems Ito have
arisen over the fear that Adam Schu
macher would marry Mrs. Zeigner ant
secure her property, said to amount t.
$14, 900.
Attorneys claim that the common
law marriage is not valid.

A MYSTERIOUS

A Strange Event with a More Wonderful

A Strange Event with a More Wonderful
SeQusl-Its Effect on the After-ife
OF One Woman.
About six years ago a stranger. Q
woman, came to the little village Of
Wilsey, Kansas, to live. This was the
important link in chain of events which
set the whole town wondering. Mrs.
Rachael A. Gardner, the person whose
life was most affected by it, tells the
story. .. 49,
"It was very strange" she says. 81
never could tell what caused it and
neither could anybody else. For long
time had bad spells with my stomach.
The pain would commence about my
heart and was so deadly agonizing that
7 would have to scream aloud. Some
times it would last several hours and
&would have to take laudanum to stop it.
Besides this I had a headache almost
constantly, day and night, that nearly
crazed me and hemorrhages caused by
the change of life, so you see I suffered
great deal. And when I think Of the
agony it still makes me shudder.

SUBSCRIPTIONS RETURNED.
Canvasser for Trade Journals Leaves
to Avoid Prosecution.

Officer Klughertz Friday after
noon took A. E. Violet to the city
hall to explain features of his bust
ness. He came to the city Thursday
night, and yesterday secured subscrip-
tions to trade periodicals among the
business men.
The police had received a letter
from A. r. Heath, president and
manager of the Trade Press Bureau of
Chicago, warning them TO look out
for Wollett, who was expected to
canvass Mankato and st. Peter Mr..
Heath desired that he be arrested and
prosecuted for alleged fraud and OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses.
Mr.. Heath said in his letter that his
bureau had supplied Wollett with re-
ceipts and coupons in trust, and that
he had gone out canvassing, and had
kept Mr.. Heath most of the time in
complete ingorance of his whereabouts
and had failed to account for the
bureaus share of the proceeds. After
his coupons were exhausted he had
collected subscriptions on the claim
that he was authorized to do so,
which was false.
County Attorney Wilson was called
and informed Violet that if he would
leave the city it would be all right,
otherwise he would be prosecuted.
Wollett claimed that the reason that
he did not remit to the bureau was
because his expenses were greater than
his income. He returned the subcrip-
tion that he had collected, some seven
or eight, and left the city on the
afternoon train.

GAME is PLENTY.
Good News for SpOrtsmen Regarding
Ducks, Chickens and Quail.

Minnesota sportsmen will this fall
have the best quail, chicken and duck
shooting that has beens-known in the
state during the past ten years. The
law prohibiting the sale Of game is
beginning to have marked effect on
the supply of game of all kinds in the
state, as it has done away with the
promiscuous pothunting for the
market.
1.-THE prospects were never better
for good shooting" said Executive
Agent Fullerton of the state game
and fish commission yesterday. "The
law prohibiting the sale of game is
responsible for the fact that the supply
is now increasing instead of decreas-
ing. The law prohibiting spring
shooting is also having an effect, even
greater than we had hoped for. The
ducks can now fly north and rest I'M
disturbed.
1.-THE game wardens from all parts
of the state report that ducks are
Matching in every slough that contains
water. The shooting will not only
be better than for many years, but it
will be distributed more generally
over the state. Ducks are Matching
this year in places from which they
were driven twenty years ago by
spring shooting.
Chickens are reported abundant,
and the prospects point to the best
chicken shooting in long time. The
law prohibiting the sale of game has
affected chickens as much, if not
more, than any other kind of game.
EQUAL shooting, however, will
show the greatest improvement, and
will probably be the most appreciated
by sportsmen. In addition to the bet
ter protection now furnished by the
game laws, the weather has been
most favorable for the quail for the
past two years. Quail winter in Min
nesota, and a severe winter tells on
them very much. We have now had
two mild winters in succession, and
this has had an effect that has surpris-
ed us. There will be no lack of places
this fall where good quail shooting
can be found. st. Paul Pioneer

election next Saturday night calls
forth the hope that the next legisla-

This ought to have been done at the

legislature should return to a prims-

of the panic in the Cathedral of the
Anchorage (Mouillage), a pedestrian,
blinded by the enormous quantity of
dust which was swirling in the air,
barely escaped falling into the river.
While he was wandering about blindly
he struck his head against a tree and
was severely injured" This is the only
reference to be found to any panic in
the cathedral. What may reasonably
be inferred from the reference is that,
in moment of fear, a great number
OF persons sought shelter in the ca
thedral, or, being within the structure,
rushed out, as they did on Ascension
morning, the day of the humiliation.
Inquiry among the people of Fort de
France failed to discover any one who
knew anything of the panic.
Political feeling was always at high
pressure in Martinique, especially at
st Pierre. The three parties, Republi-
can, Government and Socialists, were
always at daggers drawn, and they
had time enough for one last clash on
the eve of the catastrophe. A COM
paratively large sum of money had
been obtained in St. Pierre for the re-
lief of sufferers in the north of the ISL
and, and when it came time to dis
tribute the funds each party accused
the other of misuse of them, that is
of utilizing them for political ends. On
Sunday, May II, there was to have
been an election for deputy to repre-
sent Martinique in the French Cham
Der. The candidates were Percin, So
cialist; Lagrosilliere, Republican, and
Fernand Clerc, Government. The self
