FISHERMEN DROWNED.
Storm Broke Up Ice on Bay and
Wrecked Fish Shanties.

Bay City, Mich, Feb. Sit is fear
ed that 40 fishermen went to their
deaths in the storm which struck
Saginaw Bay Tuesday night. The
men were living in shanties built on
the ice. The storm burst without
warning. 1t was accompanied by a
binding swirl of snow and the
waves crushed the ice in the bay upon
which the fshermen's huts were
standing into a grinding, %crunching
mass. Nothing has been seen of the
men or shanties since.
James l.. Fisk, a fish buyer, who
spent the night in his station, came
to this city last night and said prior
to the storm he could see plainly a
dozen shanties and men moving about
them, but in the morning there was no
sign of human life on the bay. Two
men who were in a shanty not far
from his place were lost during the
night, cakes OF ice having smashed
their shanties to pieces. He says
the other fishermen could hardly have
escaped, as they were still farther
out and nearer the scene of the first
breaking up of the ice.

Missouri to Live.
st. Paul, Feb. 5.-Coleman Younger,
survivor of the three brothers who
were sentenced to life Imprisonment
because of connection with the bank
robbery and murder at Mortified in
1876, was today granted a full pardon
by the state board of pardons on con
dition that he promise never to place
himself on exhibition and that he
leave the state of Minnesota never to
return voluntarily.
The younger brother, Bob, died in
the penitentiary 10 years ago of con
sumption. Nearly two years ago Cole
man and James were paroled under
the terms of a new law enacted for
their special benefit. Last fan, dis
couraged by poor health and his in
ability under the law to marry the
woman of his choice, Jim Younger
committed suicide.
Coles friends some time ago sought
his full pardon, but their petition
was denied. Recently he filed a petit.
ton ON his own behalf and this was
granted.

Negro Porter Stole $1,000 Worth Of
Gems Out Of Berth.

Kansas City, Feb. 6.-The arrival in
this city of Mrs. j. B. Brady, a wealthy
woman of San Antonio, Texas, &C.
companied by j. P. Womack, chief of
detectives of that city, proved the Sc
quel of the arrest of Roland Fitchiue,
a negro, in this city December 2G,
1902, and explained the mystery of a
robbery which occurred on a Pullman
coach near Roberts, Ark, nearly a
year and a half ago, when diamond
jewelry, aggregating in value $4,000,
was taken from a. berth occupied by
Mrs. Brady and which was recently
found in the possession of Fitchiue
and his family.
That the negroes had the diamonds
was, made known to the police by a
quarrel among themselves. ThOs.
Fitchiue complained to the police that
his brother, Roland Fitchiue, had rob-
bed him of valuable diamonds which
he said were heirlooms in his family,
but the police did not accept his story
and learned upon investigation that
Thomas Fitchiue was the porter on
the train at the time Mrs. Brady was
robbed.
All of the jewelry has not yet been
returned, but Fitchiue has informed
Mrs. Brady that the stones not in his

ANOTHER INVESTIGATION.
Tolman Wants Acts of Arid Land
Commission Inquired Irto.
Especial to The Gazette.

opGCldl TO Inc GdLSllS.I
Helena, Feb. Another resolution
10 investigate has been introduced in
the house. This time it is Representa-
tive Tolman of Carbon county, who
desires to investigate something.
Tolman this morning introduced a
resolution to investigate the acts of
the arid land commission, of which
Donald Bradford is chairman. 1t is
claimed that the commission has
spent 100000 during it's existence and
the work it has done does not war
ran the expenditure. Part of the
work of the commission has been
done in the immediate vicinity of
Billings.
The resolution provides for the APP
pointment of a committee, the sum-
moning of witnesses and a thorough
overhauling of the work of the COM
mission. 1t is generally conceded that
some good work along the lines of
investigating the acts of the arid
land commission, might be accom-
plished, but people in the city outside
OF the legislature are beginning to
get suspicious of the resolutions in
troduced for the purpose of investiga-
tion. Already too many of them
have fallen fat and. many think that
the Tolman resolution is but another
of a bold game of bluff.

Mormon Murderer Is Brought Into
Court in Pitiable Condition.
New York, Feb. 5.-The trial of Will
liam Hooper Young, for the murder
of Mrs. Anna Pulitzer, was begun be-
fore Judge Herrick today after the
justice had refused to grant a post
ponement at the request of the pris-
oner's counsel.
The warden of the Tombs at first
declined to permit Young to be taken
10 court on the ground that the latter
was i'll. The judge finally ordered the
accused man brought into court. When
he appeared Young was in a pitiablo
condition. His face was ashen white,
his hair and beard long and unkempt
and his eyes. rolling. He collapsed
when placed in a chair; and then,
Strengthening up, made an attempt
to address the court, saying:
I'm not crazy now"
He was silenced and a conference
was held between the court and coun-
sci, when it was decided that the pris-
oner should be examined by two ply
sicians. When recess was called
Young either could not or would not
walk and had to be carried from the
court room. The physicians examin-
ed. Young during recess, and reported
to Justice Herrick, in his private
room, that the stress of the trial
would not hurt the accused physical
ly. Young was therefore carried into
court and Justice Herrick, having TAX
his seat, the examination of the
talesmen commenced. Counsel tor
prisoner asked the first few talesmen
if they had any prejudice against the
Mormon church, but desisted when
District Attorney Jerome said:
There is nothing in this case about
Mormonism. We don't make any
such claim"
When the court adjourned three
jurymen had been accepted.
