ease that science has been able ito. cure in all
its stages and that is Catarrh. Halls Ca

is taken internally, acting directly upon the

Ernest Loveswar, charged with the murder
Of two men, Puck and Ostrander, on Red
Owl, has made two confessions. The first Is
that he was at the house of Puck and Ostran-
der on the night of the murder, and that the
two men got into an alteration. Loveswar
ran out doors, and when he got outside one
man killed the other. The survivor opened
the door and he shot the man standing there:
He made another confession to the effect
that he had sold Puck two mares. He went
to Pucks house that afternoon and wanted
$50 on the deal. This amount Puck declined
to give him, not having seen any horses, and
he (the prisoner) felt very sore. He was
about to leave as night came on, but Puck
and Ostrander told him to stay until NOR
ming, and they made up the cot for. him.
He got up in the. night, he said, took Puck s
revolver and, taking that weapon and his
own, one in each. hand, fired them stimuli
taneously killing both men. The only motive
for the crime was bitter resentment against
Puck, who had refused to advance him money
on the horse, deal.

While men were at work excavating cellar
on the farm of ]. N. Nelson, three miles
southeast they uncovered the skeletons of
two men. The appearance of the skeletons
would indicate they had been in the ground
for many years. None of the old settlers
knows or can give any idea of the identity
of the remains. About twenty-five years
ago. disreputable family lived in the neigh
borhood. They suddenly moved to parts un-
known, and it Is supposed that strangers in
the vicinity were murdered in the house and
their bodies buried under the floor. The
skeletons appear to have been laid one on the
other. One that of tall man and one
of short man.

The cut makes it apparent that the Hadley
herself received terrible blow on that fatal
trip, and the wonder is she did not go down
almost as quickly as the Wilson, and long
before she had time to get tothe beach. The
whole bow Of the. ship is opened by a wide
and gaping wound, extending clear to the rail,
and widening out in great round cash at the
forefoot, through which a man can walk all
most ereetly. The whole bow. is also shoved
bodily back and out, and timbers are started
everywhere. It is also a source OF wonder
The Minneapolis journal., 1902-07-05

that a bow OF such character could have cut
the steel sides Of the great Wilson fairly in
two, penetrating almost half the width of
the ill-fated ship.

dry dock, awaiting temporary repairs. She
is to be rebuilt at Milwaukee where the

In the suit Of Edward W. Heyler and others

in a decision handed down by the state SUI

the sewer to be extended in the East Water
town addition, the cost of construction to be
charged to the owners of the property abut.
ting A majority Of the property owners did
not want the sewer extended and made
fight on the ground that the city, having a
special charter. could not construct sewer
taxing the cost to the property owners when
a majority of Them did not want it.
Residents brought suit against the city to
erjoin it from constructing the sewer. Judge
Bennett granted temporary restraining or
der At special term OF court held before
Judge BenRstt, ths city entered a general
demurrer to the complaint of the plaintiff.
The coWt made an order sustaining the de-
fendent's demurrer and also held that tho
city had shown sufficient cause why the in
QUESTION should be dissolved and further
ordered that the action be dismissed. The
plaintiff filed notice of intention to appeal
and was compelled by the court to furnish
$4,000 bond during the stay of proceedings,
pending the appeal to the supreme court. The
bond was filed and the case was taken to that
court Aug %. The decision handed down
last week affirms the decision Of the circuit
