FOUND GUILTY OF MURDER.
Minnesota Farmer Convicted After a
Brief Trial.

Aitkin. Mimi. Oct. 31.-One of the
shortest murder trials by jury in the
history of Minnesota courts was that
of o. G. Olson, who killed his daughter
Oct. 21.
Court convened Tuesday afternoon,
jury was secured the same night and
the trial began Wednesday morning,
the jury returning verdict of murder
in the first degree at $50 the same
night, with a recommendation for
mercy.
Olson's recital of the crime showed
it to have been particularly atrocious,
and no surprise was manifested at the
verdict.
Olson formerly lived the life of re-
cluse, but recently sent to Sweden for
his two children, a boy and a girl.
The father lived happily for time in
his joy in the companionship of his
children, but not long ago his daughter
fell in love and wanted to marry. The
father, rather than lose his daughter,
fearing the terrors of life of solitude.
killed her in most brutal way with a
butcher knife.

Feeling Of Distrust Against Foreign
Intervention in Traction Projects
3.:aay Sssui; in the overthrow of
Both the Yerkes' and Morgan
schemes-eritish Investors Blamed
for Allowing the American invasion.
London. Oct. 31.-Many technical
points have Been raised through the
battle of the Yerkes and Morgan syn
dicates to secure control of traction
matters in this city. The two Ameri-
can syndicates, by attempting to out
maneuver each other, have excited a
feeling of distrUst against foreign in
tervention in metropolitan transit
projects. There are now three electric
tubes in C"eration in the metropolis
and thrC2 under construction, but lit
tie progress has been made during the
last two years towards a solution of
the problem Of electric transit. Mr..
Yerkes now has control Of the six un-
dertakings. It is evident that the
American syndicates, through their eff
forts to jocl-ey each other, are creating
a strong prejudice against themselves.
The Globe, commenting on the tube"
railroad debate in the house of COM
mons, says:
"The proceedings were melancholy
foretaste Of what we are to expect un-
der the ru,H Cf AmericC:1 capitalism.
The real sting cO.c,%ts in the fact that
American syndicates shCuld have been
allowed to fight over the body of the
London citizen"
BIames the British Investor.
The paper attributes the present con-
dition of affairs to the apathy of the
British investor, but declares it is
"better to muddle on, overcroWded and
badly served as we are, than to place
our means of locomotion in the hands
of transatlantic railway jobbers."
In conclusion the Globe urges the
government to control the tubes"
The other afternoon newspapers
comment on the situation in similar
tone.
The st. James Gazette quotes J. P.
Morgan, Jr, as complaining of the at
titude of the English press toward. the

TRIPLE MURDER SUSPECTED
Victims Were Two Brothers and Sis
ter, Ranging in Age From Forty-stx
to Th,rty.five, and Were Reputed to
have Hept Considerable Money in
the Houee-seIieved They Were
Killed and the Place Fired.

Elkhorn, Wis, Oct. 31-William
WiCkerson, aged forty-siX; Albert
Wickerscn. q brother, aged forty
three, and Julia Wickerson, a sister,
aged thirty-five years, were found
burned to death in their home ten
miles west of here. The news of the
catastrophe was brought to Elkhorn
house was burned to the ground some
time during the night and the charred
remains of the victims we're found in
the ruins in the morning, Nothing is
known as to the cause of the fire.
The Wickersons we're well-to-do
farmers,
1t is suspected that the Wickersons
were robbed and murdered and the
house set on fire to cover the crime.
When the flames were first discov-
cred the roof of the house had all
burned off and by the time that the
nearest neighbor. who lived a quarter
of a mile away, reached the scene. the
structure was entirely wrapped in
flames,
Four other members of the family
were not at home at the time.
The Wickersons were reputed to be
wealthy and it was said that they were
accustomed to leave large sums of
money around the house
1t is supposed that somebody with
a knowledge of the fact committed the
robbery and then burned the house to
hide the deed. An investigation will
be made
