a special pulled out for the scene.
Chief of Detectives McFetridge was in
charge of the party, which was COM
posed of several detectives and sher-
lifts and in addition six bloodhounds
that have been at Helena station for
several days were taken along.
The train that passed thru the ex-
plosion arrived in Helena at 1920 this
morning. 1t was in charge of Con-
ductor Norris, while Engineer Reilly
was In the cab and Van Dyke was
fireman. ~; i
Engine No.. 1912 presented a bat

before the explosion occurred.

sense of chaos arising from the I'M
expected detection of the Duke of
Devonshire, lord president of the
council and conservative leader in the
house of lords, whose resignation was
unexpectedly made public yesterday,
as, with the notable exception of the
colonial secretaryship, the premier has
reconstructed the cabinet in a manner
closely agreeing with public opinion.
Austen Chamberlain, Mr.. Broderick
and Mr.. Arnold-Forster were all some
time ago assigned with more or less
approval to the posts to which they
have been appointed. In spite of this
there is no Disgusting the fact that a
large rent in the party has been
caused by the resignation of the Duke
of Devonshire, the chief author of the
liberal party and this was
amply recognized by Mr.. Balfour's
letter acknowledging the receipt Of
his resignation.
d, The dukes action, however, seems
to have aroused the same fighting
spirit in Mr.. Balfour which enabled
him to triumph over difficulties in the
eighties, when the whole of Ireland
was in arms against him, and there
are not lacking those who foretell
that he will again come out on top
and prevent the collapse of his gov
eminent. The general concensus of
opinion, however, hardly expects the
government to remain in power even
for a single session..

J Washington, Oct. 6.-Eleven Of the
Minneapolis school teachers who made
timber and stone entries in the state
OF Washington will lose their land be-
cause 1t is within the indemnity limit
of the grant of the Northern Pacific.
This announcement was made at the
general land office to-day, upon re-
ceipt of information from the local
officers in Wenatchee after an ex-

are not made public.
AS to the claims of the remaining
teachers who are now in Washington
state proving up their entries. it is
probable that they will have to wait
some months before they receive their
patents.
Among department officials there is
a. belief that these entries were Ali
made for speculative purposes, which
is contrary to the law and A careful
examination will be made into the
good faith of the purchasers before
the land is finally alienated from tIs
government. =

Duluth. Mimi, Oct. 6.-Two pretty
quarterbreed Indian girls, II and Is
years old, escaped from the govern
ment Indian school on Vermillion
lake, near Tower, Mimi, by a rope
from the Mushroom window and
eloped with their lovers, Thomas
Gheen and John Gagnon, aged FL and
Ii respectively, pilots on lake steam
ers.
The girls remained that night under
roWboat on point in the lake dur
ing one of the most terrific storms Of
the season, while the fellows returned
to Tower to allay suspicious.
After picking up the girls the fell
up Vermillion lake, pursued by Bob
Fleetwood, an officer at the school and
an Indian policeman. At a roadhouse
half way across Crane Lake portage
the quartet was captured, but the girls
eluded the officers and escaped to the
woods. The hunt was resumed, but
the girls could not be found.
Later Gheen and Gagnon rejoined
them and they sought shelter in a
landlookers' shanty several days.
Gheen and Gagnon went on up the
lake, but Gagnon returned with a
third fellow whose name is unknown,
Gheen came back in time to see the
quartet board steamer for Fort
Francis, Canada, where they were to
be married.
This is the first elopement from
greatly chagrined to be outwitted by
two girls. The story has been kept
secret, the escape having occurred on
Sept. 10. Gheen has returned to
Tower and resumed his position as a
pilot on a steamer.

Judge c. M. Pond has taken up the
cudgel OF attack upon alleged munic-
lpal corruption and malfeasance.
= IN one or the most unequiyocal and
sensational charges ever given to a
Hennepin county grand jury his honor
this morning cited the corruption of
the last city council which has become
street talk and urged upon the jurors
the crying necessity of prompt action
along housecleaning lines. -.
Whatever may be his reasons for
this mornings speech-and there are
some who are trying to mix politics
up In: 1.-THE fact is admitted by the
majority OF those who are conversant
with the situation that his review of
the case is based on fact and that the
grand jury will follow the courts lead.

this morning and at 1920 there were
twenty-five jurymen in their places in

roll call Clerk Ryberg inquired If there
was any report. Chairman c.. A. Quist
carried some suspicious looking papers
In his hand, but stated to the court
that no report was ready. 1t was evil
dent that two or three indictments
had been drawn up but after a little
tilt with County Attorney Boardman
Just before the courts appearance Mr..
Qufst decided not to report them at
this mornings session.
Certain of Indictment.
Judge Pond then addressed the
members of the jury His charge
makes 1t certain that some aldermen
who sat in the last council will be
indicted. Since the present grand
jury began it's council investigation,
1t has been rumored that confederation
was lacking for some of the most d.
rect evidence. H. y, #
Judge Pond says: that indictments
must SbeSreturned regardless Of corrob-
:oratiVe evidence, if the grand Jurors
accept the testimony of one witness. z.
.s He says that ictments should he
brought against the bribe-payer as
well as against the bribe- taker. Much
evidence is believed to be before the
grand jury already. Judge Ponds
charge now puts it up to the grand
Jurors to act on. what informal alton
they have. Indictments will be forth
coming and the facts will be revealed
whether there are convictions or not.

you, ladies and gentlemen, upon the

speech upon the duties of citizen.

were not before him; they had been

of rain and the deficit of umbrellas.
Mr.. Grimes outlined the history of the

prevalence of municipal corruption
and the unfortunate complaisance with
which it was regarded by citizens.
|Boodleism, he said, should be no more
respectable than highway robbery-it
was more a menace to the state than
burglary. The punishment Of those
who thus dishonored public office
could not be too swift or certain. The
offenders should not be measured by
their political or financial standing.
The court continued:

But, gentlemen, experience teaches that
the cloud of crime rarely settles with dis

office holds a public trust, and he is
bound to SO administer it that his acts
