err that hatred, vindIctiveness and re-
yenge animate their souls, coupled with
deplorable lack OF knowledge as TO
| the duties OF an attorney.
There has been some unpleasant COM
ment upon the transfer Of the Morten-
sen house TO the stewarts The facts
are that those gentlemen simply took
hold Of that property for the purpose
OF trying TO raise some means TO meet
expenses arising from the trial. and
thus save costs to the State. They are
not very likely to realize anything by
the transfer. II Is mortgaged, and un-
der lien, and not desirable residence
because Of the notorlety II has obtain
ed. They have endeavored TO save the
State from unnecessary expense instead
OF mourning II, and the amount which
1t Is supposed to have cost Is only
about third Of that mentioned In the
threatening letter.

The Independent Order of Forest
ers are inaugurating a vigorous win
ter campaign, and for the months of
November, December, and January
are RENTING to new members the
registration and certificate fees,
which applicants usually have to
pay upon joining. The order has
made wonderful strides during the
year, and will add to it's member
ship many thousands during the
next three months.
It's membership roll now contains
good deal over 10000 of insured
and beneficiary members. It's accum-
ulated funds reach TO almost Sc, 900,
600; and these funds are increasing
at the rate of three quarters of a
million dollars year, nOtwithstand-
ing that the order pays out $500
every working hour of he year to
widows and orphans. ~ record OF
over $12,000,000 already paid
promptly on death claims stands TO
it's credit. The l. O. f. is undoubt-
edly great and progressive lnstitu-
ton. The report upon its invest
ments, made by a committee COM
posed of able ard independent
brethren at the Supreme Court
meeting in Los Angeles, stated that
in all the investments Of it's funds
the Supreme executive had never
lost dollar. This is certainly a
unique experience.

The year and a half old son Of Mr..
and Mrs. 0. A. Lamoaeaux came
very nearly being disfgured for life,
or losing his life yesterday at noon,
While the family were in another
part OF the house the little fellow got
hold OF a stove poker and put the
end of it into the stove. When it
became red hot he drew it out and
it came into contact with his cloth
ing, and in an instant the child was
mass of flames. Just then the do
nestle came into the kitchen and
took in the situation at glance, and
with remarkable presence of mind
grabbed up the child and smothered
the flames in her own hands and
with her clothing. A few seconds
more and the child might have lost
its life. AS it was there was no in
jury of consequence. The girl re-
ceived orders from her employer to
pick out the best silk dress in town.
and she will perhaps do it.

Besides the property of the de-
ceased Mcconnell it appears that he
was member of the Independent
Order Foresters, in which he held
insurance for 1000. In making the
application Mcconnell had asked to
have the policy made payable to one
of the children of Angel, but as this
was not permissible under the laws
of the order, the insurance was
made payable to Miss Mary Ann
Mcconnell, who is likely relative,
but whose whereabouts are I'M
known. Owing to death being due,
as it is supposed to suicide, it is
doubtful whether the policy could
be collected in any event.
The hearing of the petition of An
gel has been set for next February
by Judge Irish.
There is a good deal of feeling in
Port Wing and Herbster that posi-
bly, Mcconnell did no suicide after all
and that the Angel family have not
told all the might about the affair.

Peculiar Affair.
HOW DID MCCONNELL DIE?


Judge w. H Irish yesterday re
ceived the petition of John Angel,
Of the town of Port Wing, for admin
istration Of the estate of Robert Nc
Council, deceased MIR. Angel claims
that through having borne the
funeral expenses Of Mcconnell, and
some other small business transact
ions, that Mcdonnell was indebted
to him in the sum of about $75, and
he prays for the appointment of
James Daily, OF Port Wing, as ad-
ministrator, and for the settlement
Of the estate. The proceedings be-
fore Judge Irish yesterday have
brought forth more of the details of
the tragedy which occurred at Bark
Bay in November.
Mcconnell owned eighty acres of
land in the vicinity of Bark Bay, off
which he recently sold the timber,
bringing him about 5000. Taking
the money he made a tour of Bay
field, Washburn, Iron River, Duluth
and proceeded to have very gay
old time. The fact that last spring
he had confessed religion at re-
vival meeting, did not seem to dis
turo him any, as he drank long and
heavily. Returning to Port Wing
he met his neighbor, Andy Shields,
and the two proceeded 10 bowl up
and enjoy themselves. Finally they
quarreled and fought, aud McCon-
nell had a hallucination that Shields
had robbed him Of $780, Mcconnell
threatened the life of Shields, and
tina latter became terror1ed. Early
in November the house of Shields
was burned to the ground, and the
latter left the vicinity and went to
work in logging camp. Neon
nell about this time went to the resi-
dence of Angel, and asked a school
teacher, who was boarding at the
place, to witness a will which he
| had drawn, but when she discovered
the contents she refused to sign it.
He then threatened to kill himself
with a gun which he had with him,
but Mrs. Angel and Miss Babcock,
the teacher, dissuaced him, after
which he returned to his own home.
Angel went to the home of McCon-
nell the same day and tried TO dis
suade him of the Eotion OF taking
his life, and the latter promised to
accompany Angel to his farm.
While Angel was out looking after
some Of the stock he heard a shot
and rushing back into the house he
found that Mcconnell had shot him
self, the ball entering below the Jaw
and tearing the whole side Of his face
Oft. A warrant was sworn out
charging Shields with The murder of
Mcconnell and a preliminary ex-
animation was held at Port Wing.
At the examination Mrs. Angel was
an unwilling witness, and her
stories were conflicting and tn ans
wers evasive. Town Chairman
James T a conducted the defense Of
Shields, and after a good deal 0:
quizzing got Mrs. Angel to admit
that she had met Mcconnell while in
