Against Whom He Had Imaginary
Grievances for Befriending a Me-

New York, Nov. 14.-Andrew H.
Green was instantly killed on the
steps Of his home yesterday by Cor,
nelius NJ. Williams, a negro, who is
| believed to be insane. The shooting
ives evidently the outcome of an in
sane delusion on the part of the ne
gro that Green had slandered him.
for, when he was asked why he had
comm tilted the murder he replied q
did it to save my character"
According to witnesses the negro
must have been waiting for Green to
come home from his office. AS Green
started to ascend the steps to his
house the negro, who was standing
in the vestibule, advanced toward
him. Greel ordered Williams away
and the negro drew a revolver and
fired five shots in rapid succession.
Green sank to the pavement, the
blood streaming from his head, while
the murderer, returning the revolver
to his pocket leaned against the rail-
ing of the stoop as if awaiting arrest.
William H. Burns was the one first
to reach the negro and seized him as
he was about to walk away and turn
ed him over to a policeman. A ply
stefan was on the spot almost immei
lately and pronounced Green dead.
One of the bullets imbedded itself in
the ceiling of the vestibule. 1t is be
lieved that all the others took effect.
The negro was taken to the police
station where he was subjected to a
serious examination the result of
which left little doubt of the negro's
insanity. Williams appeared perfect

Chicago, Nov. 14-Organized labor
will today attempt to bring sufficient
pressure to bear on the municipal au-
thorities to prevent the police from
riding on the cars of the Chicago
City Railway during the existing
strike troubles.
The intention of the promoters OF
the plan is to have 200 members of
the federation of labor and the NUM-
cipal ownership league call on the
mayor and chief of police and make
a number of requests. They will ask
that no more franchises be granted
the street car companies but that
they be operated under the license
system; that policemen be restrained
from riding on the cars during the
strike, and that the street car com
panies be prohibited from using cleo
tricity as motive power. Injunction
proceedings are proposed to prevent
the police from riding on the cars,
should the mayor refuse to order
them off.
Mayor Harrison said last night he
could not tell what reply he will
make until he knows what Will be
asked.

Gets $500 for Injury.

Fond du Lac-Henry Rueping was
awarded the sum of $4,000 in mis- suit
against the Northwestern railway, and
it is said the case is now settled to the
practical satisfaction of all parties.
The amount awarded Mr.. Rueping is
$1,000 in excess of what the supreme
court would have given him and $4,000
less than he was awarded on first trial.
The plaintiff was injured in a wreck
at Depere three years ago and since
then has suffered with a disabled knee
joint which renders walking arduous.
In reversing the first verdict the su.
preme court vigorously scored the trial
judge and Gen. Bragg, the plaintiffs at
torney. The court held that the Judge
should have ruled out certain evidence
and that Gen. Bragg said certain things
which were not bourne out by evidence
and prejudiced the jury.

EASY JAG MAKER.
A Mash From Potato and Turnp Juice
That Hogs Like.

Geneva, N. Y, Nov. 14.-The potato
and the turnip premise 10 become the
strong rivals of malt in the manufac-
ture of an intoxicating beverage. The
efficacy of the juice of these common
vegetables was discovered in a novel
way. Thomas Warren, who resides
on the old turnpike road west of
Geneva, noticed one day last week
that his hogs appeared to be dazed.
1t was found that George West and
William Ncbles, two itinerant farm
helpers hired by Mr.. Warren recently,
had been squeezing potatoes and tur-
nips up into mash and after procur-
the remains of the mash to the hogs.
The hogs evidently did not require
much of the leftover essence to get
on good Jag" All this week the
swine have appeared to be jagged and
Mr.. Warren succeeded in getting at
the cause only after he found the
two farm hands and a dozen chums
hitting up key of the new Essence
of frumenti' in the barn.
Mobiles was almost dazed by the
dosage, while his partner was com
pletely "paralyzed." Warren managed
to get the information from the men
that led to the news of the wonderful
properties of potato juice and turnip
juice as a jag producer.
Mr.. Warren said: 81 tested the al.
legged merits of this mixture for my
self. A wineglass full gave me the
sensation Of going up in a balloon.

that IN reply to this demand the In

that the latter returned the fire.
The governor states there can be no
question as to where the responsibility
lies. The Indians were violating the
laws of the state, knowingly and wilful-
ly, and the murdered officers were
martyrs to their duty. The governor
declared he would insist on a thorough
trial, if for no other reason than to vim
dictate the dead officers and present
their sacrifice in a proper light before
