WILSON IS ARRAIGNED.
He Is Charged With Having Unlaw
fully Opened Mail.

The young man known as Wilson, who
is accused of having unlawfully obtain
ed and and opened mail matter addressed
to J. P Mcmahon, 1877 Poplar street. as
was described at length in L h G b e
of yesterday morning, was taken before
Commissioner Spencer yesterday, and
upon request, was granted a continuance
of his hearing until tomorrow afternoon
at 2 o'clock.
The accused said yesterday that his
true name was not Wilson, but refused to
tell what it was and also declined 20
state where he lived. ]. P. Mcmahon,
whose name the young man is accused CT
having used, saw him yesterday, but was
unable to identify him as any person he
had ever seen before, although the pris-
Oner had given proof that he was quite
familiar with certain of Mr.. McMahonis
private affairs.
Besides the complaint in the federal
court there hangs over the prisoner
charge of forgery, which should properly
be prosecuted in the state court, and will
probably be taken up later. 1t is alleg-
ed that he folg ed the name of Mr.. Nc
Mahon to a check for $35 which he had
secured from a. loan agency by repre-
senting himself to be Mr.. Mcmahon.

TRAGIC DEATH.
Strikes a. House Near
Qnandafl and Kills Mrs. 'o
81 s-fnfsa Ole Haakenrud. bt

The past week has been one frought
with tragic deaths, accidents and at
tempted crimes. Still another that
must be added to the list to complete
the record, we hope, is the death OF
Mrs. Ole Haakenrud, living near
Quandahl, on Saturday night. She
was sitting in chair in her home dur
ing the severe storm of that night,
when the house was struck with light
ming, and she was instantly killed.
Added to this cup of bitterness for heI
husband, the house was completely de-
stroyed, with most of its contents.
The grief stricken relatives have the
sincere sympathy of all in their sac
bereavement. Mrs. Haakenrud was q
lady who was highly spoken of by al
who knew her, and her untimely
death will be universally mourned.
She was daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Sam Aker, of Pleasant township.

Plucky Girl Keeps From Drowning.

A story of pluck inf a |. little girl
eight years ofiagess has come to us that
is too good to keep. The eight year
old daughter of Fred aSheetz, near
Freeport, was fishing in the river
near Sand Rock week ago Satur-
day, and her small brother was with
her They were standing on the side
hill when her foot slipped, and she
fell into deep place in the river,
where the water is higher than her
head With noteworthy pluck she be-
gan to struggle to get out of the
water, when she remembered that her
father had often told her how to float if
she ever was in high water. The lit
tie girl Topped over on her back, held
out her arms in proper form, and
foated with her head out of the water
until her little brother could run
quite distance for her father, who
fastened to the river and rescued her.
She was in the water about ten min
utes it is thought and undoubtedly saw
ed herself from drowning by the
method above described

Mr.. Almon Rice, we'll known far
mer and capitalist Of Button town
ship, was the victim of an attack last
week Monday night which resulted
fortunately indeed He is a man over
eighty years of age, and was known to
have sold farm recently for about
50, 900. On the night referredsto he
retired as usual, unaware of ap-
preaching danger, but a short time
afterward was aroused by a rap ON the
door. In answering it he asked who
was there and received the reply
Jim Donlan. " The latter is the
name of the man who works Mr..
Rice's farm, and upon hearing his
name Mr.. Rice promptly opened the
door, when two masked men stepped
forward and thrust revolver at him.
One was behind the other, and the one
in the rear called out in false voice
"aim higher" when Mr.. Rice struck
the revolver and luckily knocked it
onto the floor, and still more fortunat-
ely dropped the lamp which he held
in his hand, and they were in the dark.
He then, with all the strength he
could summon, made an effort to
close and bolt the door, which he sue
ceeded in doing, leaving the maraud-
ers outside, after which they went
away, and he was left alone. In look
ing about the following morning Mr..
Rice found an old hat, which he
thought resembled one he had seen
worn by one Jacob Lightfoot, a man
from Wisconsin who had been about
BlufftOn for some time, and had re-
peatedly called at Mr.. Rice's, pretend
ing to want to buy some timber land
On Wednesday Mr.. Rice came to Deco
rah and reported the matter to
Sheriff Mizener, and when returning
home the next day he met Lightfoot,
wearing new hat, afterwards learn
ing that he had purchased it in Bluff
ton within few days. After working
on the above clews until the evidence
seemed strong against him, Sheriff
tMizener was notified to arrest him,
and he did so ON Sunday. Lightfoot
is now in Jail. On Monday he was
arraigned before Justice Gibson and
plead not guilty. He will be given a
hearing on Friday.
