BIOGRAPHY AND "REMINISCENCES
Of the Late Col. Samuel McPhail, the
Founder of this City.
From, the Mianeota Mascot.

Samuel McPhail was born in Rus
selville, Logan county, Kentucky,
May 2, 1926. His parents we're John
and Hannah (McAdams) McPhail,
both natives of Scotland.
When Samuel was but a boy, eight
years old, his parents moved to East
Carroll parish, Louisiana. Here the
family settledon cotton plantation.
Besides experimenting his planta-
tion, the father also discharged the
duties of city and typographical en-
gineer; he was skilled surveyor
and had good education.
For years John McPhail was en-
gagged in surveying rivers, harbors
and state lines, and in all this work
his son Samuel rendered able as
sistance.
At the age of sixteen Samuel was
sent to the State military school at
Baton Rouge, where he remained
for two years. He enlisted for the
Mexicanwa and was assigned to
Gen. Zach. Taylor S command. The
first severe battle in which young
McPhail took a part was the battle
of Palo Alto. on the 9Th day of May,
1916. From that time until peace
was restored in 1848, he was in
nearly all the principal engagements
of the Mexican war.
After the war he returned to the
United States and, in lS49, visited
the Pacific coast. In 1850 he re-
turned from his coast trip and on
May 2 (the twenty third anniver-
sary of his birthday of that year
was married to Miss Martha Kings
| ton, at St. Louis, Mo.
The same year Mr.. and Mrs. Nc
Phail came to Minnesota and settled

VERDICT EXONERATES SAGE.
Coroner's Jury Finds Killing Of Retore Justi.
liable.

Sheriff McDeid arrived from Rebel
Creek last night, having in custody Ram
dali Sage, Frank Sage, Perry Boyd and
Clay Langford, the parties concerned in
the shooting of M. Retore, near Disaster
Peak, on the 9Th. The prison
ers. in charge of the Sheriff, were taken
to Golconda early his morning to APP
pear for examination, warrants charging
them with murder having been issued
by Justice Langwith.
The case was not proceeded with, as
all the parties could not be there III time
and the examination was continued until
next Friday.
The Coroner's inquest, which was held
at Rebel Creek, was concluded yesterday
after several days work and the jury
rendered a verdict setting forth their
finding that the deceased came to his
In the hands of Randall Sage, and that
the found the killing justifiable.
p. Lastrelle, the ~sheepherder who was
with Retore, insists that the latter did
not shoot at all and says there were five
men in Sage's party. This story is cor
roborated by the Basque boy, Bictor
Achabal, who came In this morning. The
later has not been in this country long
and cannot speak English. He is TWEEN
ty-one years of age and has been out
with these sheep but a short time. Sage
and his companions insist that their
party consisted only of the four men now
under arrest.
As near as can be ascertained their evil
dence at the Coroner's inquest was prac-
tically the same as the story told by Sage
when he came here and reported the
killing. This testimony, it is presumed,
was that upon which the jury based its
verdict of j~ustifiable homicide.
1t Is not known whether or not Justice
Langwith admitted the Sages. Boyd and
Langford to bail, or, If so, what amount
their bonds were placed at. They will
doubtless furnish whatever bonds are re-
auired.
