Murphy Convicted.

Murphy Convicted.
Fargo, Dec. 4-The jury in th'
case of the State VS.. John S. Muir
ply brought in verdict yesterday
at Gals p. m, of guilty, after being
out 48 hours.
Major Murphy maintained his
usual calm demeanor and bore up
we'll under the shock. Mrs. Muir.
ply, than whom there is no truel
or nobler woman in the state, was
present to sustain her husband in
the crisis Of their lives and show
her unfaltering loyalty.
Judge Lauder asked for a stay
of sentence, which was granted by
the court. the stay being granted
to the first day Of the January
term. Counsel also made an oral
motion for a new trial.
The verdict was surprise to
the majority Of people who had
kept in close touch with the case,
the greater number looking for
ward for disagreement and sever
al predicting an acquittal. The
jury reported yesterday morning
about 10 o'clock that an agreement
was impossible and asked for in
structions. Judge Pollock CON-
piled with the request and sent
them back to the jury room, ssurg-
them to come to an agreement. 1t
is said that the jury at that time
stood nine for conviction to three
for acquittal. Later in the day it
was rumored that the vote was
seven for conviction and five for
acquittal.
The charge upon which the de-
fendant was arrested and convicted
was forgery in the third degree,
the specific charge being that he

Terrapin Alive in Ashes

San Francisco.-One of the strangest
incidents following the great fire was
the finding Of live terrapin in the
ruins of building at the corner of
Powell and Washington streets. Miss
Charlotte Estes and Miss Lille Plow-
man went TO the ruins of the Normal
school. where Miss Estes was a stu
dent and while investigating condi-
tons, noticed something move in the
ashes in the basement. Miss Estes
climbed down and removed the ashes
and debris and found the terrapin. It
was so active that when placed on
the ground near water it ran into the
bay and swan away. This animal
had undoubtedly passed through the
fire and lived for ten days in the
ashes of the basement in which ii was

Duke of Wellington Vanity.

Among the portraits at the Royal
academy, London, there are some
which could tell stories; some with
little touches of tdiosyncrasies of sub
iects no less than OF painters. Is the
story of Lawrence's portrait of the
Duke of Wellington commonly known?
The duke had only one vanity-his

and had killed five of the pups when
the mother, hearing their cries, en-
tered the den.
1t was too small for Blonde to stand
upright. SO with only one cartridge in
his gun he was compelled to meet the
attack of the enraged mother on his
hands and knees and in darkness that
prevented his reloading his six-shoot-
err. The old wolf hesitated as she en-
tered the den, but the smell the
blood of her dead offspring and the
yelps Of the pup still alive, emboldened
her to rush at the hapless rancher and
fix her teeth in his arm.
Just as she took hold of him he fired
his remaining shot into her skull and
fortunately killed her instantly, but
her teeth remained fixed in the ranch
er's arm, while the great body blocked
the way out of the little cavern.
After frantic efforts, using the barrel
of his six-shooter as lever, Blonde
succeeded in loosening the Jaws Of the
wolf and made his way into the open.

of the old wolf or the connection in

him home with his wounded arm.

DIES IN ATTEMPT
TO PROVE THEORY
COLORADO MAN STARVES AS
RESULT OF STRANGE VISION.
HOPE is IMMORTAL LIFE.
Convinced That Mortal Being Can Ex-
ist Forever on This Earth, He Tries
to Find Solut;on-Succumbs
After 60 Day Fast.

Denver, Colin g. vain attempt TO
win immortal life on earth by meth
cd revealed to him in a vision and
from a morbid study of the philos-
ophy Of the life hereafter, Charles La
Mountain, of Arvada, died of starva-
ton after a self-imposed fast OF 60
days.
The story is a most wonderful one
of the striving of human soul to
reach Immortality and knowledge OF
the after life; cropping around, study
ing, thinking, in vain effort to ar
rive at a solution.
He died in an EFFORT to prove that
upon the human frame a new body
could be built repeatedly, after the
old one had been wasted away by
starvation. More than two months
ago he began the process OF starva-
ton, and such was his iron will that
for two months he kept alive, never
tasting food, but finally nature got the
better OF him. When he started he
weighed $50 pounds, and was a giant
in strength and ruggedness. He
weighed lis pounds The day before his
end.
According to Mrs. M. l.. Martin, the
sister, LaMOuntain was born 81 years
ago. At the age OF II he enlisted and
served throughout the civil war. At
the end of the civil war he went to
Mexico, serving under Diaz and the
patriots against the invasion of the
French and Macmillan, who were
there trying TO esta blish an empire.
He never returned east, but came to
Colorado and became railroad en-
gineer. He served as engineer until
the boiler of his engine exploded, near
Leadville, in the early days of the
great camp, and since that time he
has been engaged in various enter
prises. mining, sheep raising and in
venting He retired several years ago
with money enough to keep himself,
sister, and a crippled brother, whom
he has been supporting all his life.
In his everyday behavior he was al
ways normal, clear to the end, and
there seemed no trace of insanity.
His peculiar interest in the unknown
problems of life and his striving after
Immortality began at the death of a
niece and her two children many years
ago, upon whom his affections were
conferred. He had been an intidel, not
believing in any religion and in the
answers they give in regard to the flu
ture life.
He began the study of everything
that promised to throw light on the
mystery" said his brother. ''He read
everything, strange books on mesmer-
ism, psychology, science, weird phil
osophies of the Hindus Egyptians, and
of all the people on earth you can
think or 1t became a passion with
him.
Some years ago he came to us in
the morning with the remark: 1t is
all right. Don't worry about Lizzie.
She is better off than we are Then
he told us IA story of remarkable vision.

That night Crook came into Omaha

Tibbles, then an editorial writer on a

rights was mapped out, and both men
started out the next day To carry out
their parts.
Crook was to delay returning the In
dians to Indian Territory until writ
OF habeas corpus could be asked for
from the United States court on the
ground that the constitution, in the
fourteenth amendment, guaranteed to
all persons born in the United States
equal protection Of the law.
Tibbles looked out for the legal end
of t,s deal. He went to John l.. Web

lawyer, laid his case before him, and
asked him To defend the rights OF the
