Mrs. Walker. of Osgood, Mo-, arrived
here yesterday to inquire into the
chances of getting about $4,000 which
she deposited with the Bank of Lineville
last winter. Mrs. Walker was formerly
Miss Deisher, of Decatur county, where
she was raised. At the time the deposit
was made she and her husband had sep
arated and the money represented her
portion of the division Of the property;
but since that time they have re-mar-
ried and she is now anxious to restore
her portion to the family estate. She
first deposited her money in a Garden
Grove bank; later in the Farmers &
Merchants Bank at Lineville and after
wards, under the promise Of s per cent
interest, withdrew it from the f. &. M.
Bank and deposited it with the Bank of
Lineville, where it appears to be out OF
her reach for the present at least. She
states her intention of camping on the
warpath until her money, or a portion
of it, is paid over.-Lineville Tribune.

WOODSMAN FOUND
DEAD ON THE ICE
Crawled Two Miles After Being
Hit and Murder Is
Suspected.
Special to The Globe.

6p6Cidi TO Inc NTlOD6.
DULUTH, Mimi, Feb. 5.-Charles
Olander of Superior, a woodsman en-
ployed at William Ingham's lumber camp
on the north shore, thirty five miles south
of Grand Marais, was found dead at 8
O'Clock Sunday morning on the ice half
mile from shore. He had been missed
from the camp for several hours. Harry
McIvor, surveyor of Cook county, and
Foreman William Lochren discovered the
body. There was an ugly wound on the
head. Foul play is suspected.
Information regarding the affair was
brought to this city today by William
Mosher, a timber estimator, and James
Pinkerton, a land owner at Temperance
River, near Grand Marais, who walked
seventy miles on the ice to Two Harbors
and took the train for Duluth. Olander,
it is claimed, had been struck on the head
in some manner. Whether it was the re-
suit of fall or foul play is not known,
and the point is being determined at a
coroner's inquest now being held at
Grand Marais, where Olanders body was
taken. Many tracks in the snow on the
ice were found where Olander had first
been seen, indicating a struggle. Two
broken whisky bottles were discovered
1t is believed that Olander had stumbled
and craWled two miles toward his camp,
wounded and freezing, before he gave uD
the struggle.

FAIR TRIAL LAW TESTED.
Copper Interests In Montana Take Ad-
VANTAGE of the Act

vantage of the Act.
HELENA, Mont, Feb. 5.-The fair trial
pill recently enacted by the legislature has
been invoked in several suits since its
passage, but has not been passed upon
by the supreme court. Counsel for the
Amalgamated Copper company have Sc
cured a change of venue from the courts
Of Judges Clancy and Harvey in Butte for
about ten actions. In only one action has
the lower court refused to grant change
of venue after affidavits alleging preju-
dice had been filed. That was in the
contempt case now on trial before Judge
Clancy, in which 1t is alleged that the
Boston & Montana operated ground in
the Leonard mine covered by an fnjunc-
ton. In this case Judge Clancy declared
that the fair trial bill did not apply. No
appeal has been taken from that decision.
The affidaYits filed in Butte in the case
of Mag1nnis against the Boston & Mon
tana and two other cases and decided by
the supreme court in favor of the Boston
& Montana company alleged prejudice on
the part of Clancy. The usual course has
been followed to secure a change under
the fair trial bill.
