QUIT WIFE TO ELOPE
WITH HER MOTHER

Minneapolis, Dec. I7.-J. E. Paine of
Logan is the first man in all history,
say the police, who has had detectives
chasing him because of his unlimited
love for his mother-in
Paine and Mrs. Minnie Pippet eloped
week ago and Police Superintendent
Conroy was notified this morning that
the fugitives were headed this way.
Their return is badly wanted by Mrs.
Paine, a young woman of 20, and a
bride of few months. She alleges
that she has been cruelty deserted and
as she had always lived with her
mother until married, both sources OF
income have been taken away from
her.
Enclosed in the letter are pictures OF
the elopers. These now occupy an
honored place in the rogues' gallery,
and are considered the most valuable
of the entire collection.
The detailed description say that the
young man is 23, tall and cookbook
ing. The mother-in-law who stole his
heart from her only daughter is 46
years old and also good-looking. There
is at present much rivalry among the
detectives to see who will be first to
round up the only man who has had
the nerve to make love to his wife's
mother.

EVOLTING CASE OF
INFANTICIDE HERE
Decomposed Remains of New Born Child Found
in Room Occupied by the Supposed Mother-Autopsy
closed Fact That Child Was Born Alive.

although since the finding of the dead
body of the child, some suspicious facts
have been remembered.
Wednesday afternoon, the woman left
the house and did not return as usual in
the evening. The next morning the
sister of the lady who conducts the
boarding house, visited the room occu-
pied by the strange woman and discov-
cred in a hand grip the decomposed
body of child.
s A physician was at once summoned
and, while the result of his examina-
tion has not been made public, it is an
nounced that the death resulted from
foul means, and that the birth was not
premature.
s Coroner Savage was summoned and
an inquest was held last night. The
coroner returned to his home in Dav-
senport this morning but is expected to
return tonight when he will hear ad-
ditional evidence.
That the birth of child in the house
could have occurred in the woman s
room without the knowledge of the 9TH
er inmates of the house, is explained
by the fact that at the time of the Sup
posed birth, in October, the other in
mates Of the house were absent dur
ing the afternoons.
The condition of the murdered in
tant tends to corroborate the theory
that the birth and murder occurred al
about the time of the woman's illness
1t was learned this afternoon that the
woman wanted on the serious charge is
well known in medical circles here and
has been in and out of Fargo for two
years in professional capacity.
The woman was in the city last night
but it is supposed that she left the city
on an early train this morning.

In a ghastly state of decomposition
the body of new born babe was found
in hand grip in a private boarding
house ON Ninth Street North Thursday
morning That the infants death had
been brought about with fe1onious in
tent was decided at coroner's inquest
held in Luger's undertaking parlors last
night and the officers of the law are now
lin search of the guilty party, who is
supposed to be the mother of the MUIR
dered infant
The room in which the body of the
child was found had been occupied by
the mother since Sept. 20, and it is sup
posed that the murder was committed
some time in the latter part of October.
That the mother killed her child soon
after the birth and placed it in the grip
under her couch, while she continued
to occupy the room until last Wednes-
day, there is ample evidence, and it was
this showing that resulted in the ver-
dict at the coroner's inquest last night.
Some time last summer woman of
attractive appearance and seemingly
about IS years of age, secured lodging
with respectable family in the city,

CHINESE ARE SUFFERING.

Z : -. : 7 81 D. . y G. !
& Pekin, Dec. Towing to the fact
that there are about 10000 homeless
Chinese in and around Mukden as a
result OF the Russo japanese war, rich
Chinese here and at Tien Tsin have
subscribed funds. to provide warm
clothing and food for these poor peo-
pie. Out of these funds about 10000
skin coats have been purchased and
assembled at Tien Tsin, where they
have been made ready for dispatch to
Mukden. The Japanese military ar-
thorities, however, fearing that the
Russians would benefit by these gifts
refused to allow them to be sent to
the Russian lines and threaten to con-
fiscate them If captured. The Russians,
it has been learned, promise to refrain
from taking the advantage feared by
the Japanese, but the latter decline to
accept the assurance and the result
must be disastrous to the Chinese
whose villages and crops have been
destroyed and who are now suffering
from scarcity OF both food and tuel.
In Chinese circles much .dissatisfac-
tion is expressed because OF the in
ability to help their suffering country
men.

ing car and took him forward to that

quaintance through the claim of Hicks

that he was going to the same place
as Mr.. Perry-Great Falls. After they

snies to see who paid for the cigars.
This was also declined until Hicks
mentioned that the matching might be
with dollars. Al game was finally ar
ranged and the two men matched doll
