WATERTOWN SENSATION.
Young Man Camping at Lake Peli>
can ~ in Trouble.

q -
One Of the greatest sensations Water
town has experienced for years was fur
nished this week by Fred Shiffman, the
son of a wealthy Minneapolis man, the
young lady who has been living with him
as his wife in an elegant camp on Lake
Pelican, and another woman who has
arrived in the city claiming to be the law
full wife of Shiffman.
The woman first called at the home Of
Mr.. Shiffman in WATERFOWL. Not being
able TO locate him, she appealed TO the
sheriff. The task was delegated to Depu-
ty Frank Elkins. and in company with
that officer the lady went to the camp.
About Oct. l Mr.. Shiffman established
his camp on the north shore Of Lake peli-
can near the west end. The young lady
whom he brought to WATERFOWL MS his
wife has been living with him at this
camp.
So it was that the appearances OF the
lady claiming to be Mr.. Shiffman's first
and lawful wife, and TO have lived with
him thirteen years prior to their ~para-
ton. caused q mild sensation.

FIND MOTIVE FOR THE CRIME
Murder I'm New York May be solved
Tips May Havs Been the Cause.

Light IN the recent mysterious muir
der of Jacob ii. Thompson, exchange ed
itor of the New York Times, has been OBJ
tanned by the police ut New York. When
Mamie Gibson, the negress who knew
the colored bellboy, Richard Hannibal,
who died while under suspicion OF com
hitting the murder, was arraigned in
court, she said that Hannibal told her
that il she was ever questioned about the
murder she must say that Hannibal
spent the night of Thompson's death at
her home. He was not there that night,
the girl testified. She said that the bell
boy told her that he did not murder
Thompson, but that he ought to have
been murdered because of the small tips
ne gave.
The colored girl was arraigned in con-
nection with Hannibal's death, as the
beilboy was found with his throat cut
after he had quarreled with her and
wounded her recently.
