Woman Suspect is No Longer consid-
cred Guilty.
BUFFALO, N. Y, March 6.-That
the murderer of Edwin L. Burdick will
never be brought to justice is becoming
a general belief. During the last thir-
ty-slX hours of hard work on the mys-
ferrous tragedy not an iota of informa-
ton of sufficient Importance to be
termed evidence has been unearthed by
the police. The one woman who has
been under strong suspicion and who
mas become known as the police sus-
pect is believed TO be guiltless by
some OF the officials of the police de-
partment and the district attorneys
once. They do not pretend to have
any clear idea who the murderer is.
Ihey SIMPLY say that the right trail
mas not been struck. The probability
OF an immediate arrest being made in
the case grows shghter every hour
Other officials are as sanguine as evar
That an arrest will be made.

the United States court at st. Paul,
where the case originated, through &C
uon taken by Gov. Van SAINT, and the
United States court at ST. Louis, are
in the same circuit. For the conven-
fence of the judges. and because of the
fact that the present term of court is
pelng held here, the case will be heard
IN st. Louis, instead of st. Paul.

Knox will represent the United States
In the litigation. and the defendant will

DIE OF HYDRoPHoBIA.
Children Bitten by Hogs Afflicted With
Rabies

BRAINERD, Mimi, March 6.-The
bite of a hog has brought death and
misery into the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
c. Demules, living near Fort Ripley.
Crow Wing county. Two of the De-
mules children are dead from hydro
phobia and another is dangerously Ill.
Three children belonging to another
family, who We're also attacked by the
disease, have been sent away for treat
ment.
A number of hogs and cattle belong
ing to Mr.. Demules, which gave un-
mlstakable evidence of being afflicted
with rabies, have been slain, and every
precaution has been taken to prevent a
spread of the hydrophobia
A small pet dog owned by the De-
mules children was the cause of all
the trouble. When the dog began to
act in strange manner, swapping at
everything within his reach. he was
barred from the house. Soon the chill
dren heard great commotion among
the hogs, and on investigating found
they were being bitten by the dog,
which later, frothing at the mouth, ran
to Little Falls, where it was slain.
Soon afterward the children were at
tackled by the hogs, which had been
lnnoculated with hydrophobia by the
dog. 1t was not long before symptoms
of hydrophebia began to appear in the
children. The suffering hogs and cat
tie We're shot to death.

MOUSE KILLS SOFT MAPLE.
Little Creature Causing Great Damage
to Valuable Trees.

The dying of soft maple timber on
the islands in the Mississippi in this
vicinity for the last year is explained
by Captain George A. Schneider.
Many people are curious to know what
kills these trees, which has been close
ly observed by the captain. All of
this trouble originates from a new
kind of timber mouse, which is much
larger than the ordinary mouse in the
woods. We term them the jumping
mouse. They can jump from four to
six feet and are very savage.
This peculiar mouse lives entirely
on the soft maple tree, the bark being
softer and sweeter than that of other
trees. 1t first eats from the basea
then proceeds up the tree, taking the
bark off in large patches, which is ass
dangerous to the tree as girdling
would be, thus causing the tree TO die
If they keep increasing as they have
been in the past year there win not
be a maple tree standing in the next
two years that has not been partly
killed by this mouse. The enemies
of the mouse, such as the mink and
skunk, are being trapped, the owl is
shot, so the mouse has free play

COST OF PENITENTiARY.
North Dakota Legislature HageIes
Over Appropriations All Day.


Special to The Globe.
BISMARCK, N. D., March GA fight
on the state penitentiary appropriation
occupied the entire day in both houses.
Conference committees were appointed
four times, but the house in each in
stance refused to adopt their report.
The night session struggled with the
matter. The primary election bill got
its Quietus this afternoon in the SEN
ate, wfTen= Harbrandson,s of Traill en-
deavored. to bring the matter up and
the senate, 19 to 16, voted not to sus-
pend the rules and recall the bill. The
st. Louis fair appropriation bill passed
as originally agreed Upon and all the
appropriation bills were agreed to and
passed.
The penitentiary matter was settled
by agreement on an appropriation of
$60,4OO. The house passed a resolu-
ton asking the governor to appoint
committee of three to investigate the
financial management of the peniten-
tiary and make its findings public.
Both houses adjourned sine die
shortly before midnight.

PIERRE, S. D., March 6-Both
houses broke last-day records by
clearing their calendars of all bills
before the night session, leaving moth
ing to disturb the usual ght
scene except conference reports. Both
houses appointed stubborn conference
committees on the general appropria-
ton bill and an all night session is
looked for before an agreement is
reached. The bill to tax mining stock
which passed the house yesterday fail
ed to get to the. senate until today,
too late for action, and this called out
the appointment of an investigation
committee to inquire into the reason,
and the report showed only that the
clerk of the house had got all other
bills passed before and after this bill
in, but failed on this one. One of the
last large appropriation bills to pass
the house was $4,000 for wolf boun-
ty deficiencies, which has cleared up
practically every appropriation asked
for. The total appropriations of the
session, outside of the general bill,
amount to $66711
