the large welcome the pastor had
planned for these new followers. The
different church officers were called

As Officers Hurry Him Through
Muttering Throng to the
County Jail.
HELD FOR THE GRAND JURY.
Denies His Guilt and Says Boy stoEa
Small Amount Of Money
From Him. -

Count" St German, arrested
last Wednesday afternoon In his
room at local hotel accused OF
feloniously assaulting an eleven year
old boy by sub1ecting him to an
abomination, was given preliminary
hearing by Magistrate c. H. Gordon
Monday afternoon and at the con-
clusion was held for action of the
grand jury. Bond was fixed at
$4,000 by the magistrate but the
prisoner could not furnish 1t and
was taken back to jail.
A large crowd attended the hearing
and when the Count" attired in a
Prince Albert coat, high silk hat
and white vest and tie, was led out
of the court room by three big po-
licemen, constable and deputy
sheriff, boots, jeers and angry NUT
terings came from the throng. The
officers hurried him along, however,
and there was no other demonstra-
tion against the portly prisoner.
When the warrant accusing him
of the crime against the boy was
read to him and the court asked him
what plea he would enter, the
Count" said: Not guilty. of
course"
The Count" objected to an inn
mediate hearing as he had been un-
able to employ a lawyer to defend
him. The court informed him that
he had had plenty of time to procure
the services of an attorney and that
the examination must proceed.
The little boy, who accuses the
Count" of the serious crime, took
the stand and testified to the occur
renee in the room at the hotel. He
said that the Count beat and slap
ped him several times and tore a
board from dresser drawer aud
beat him with it, compelling him by
threats to the abomination. He
also told how he finally ran from the
room and notified the hotel employees
and also of other incidents mention
of which has been made before. The
boy said the Count was drunk at
the time.
The Count" was allowed to ques-
ton the boy ande asked him where
he got that 40 cents he had that af-
ternoon. The Count" said that the
boy stole the money from his pockets
and he spanked him for it.
You stole that 45 cents from my
trousers pocket" the Count" said,
"and spanked you for it. and that's
the reason you brought this charge
against me-"
The boy said he took the money,
but because the Count" compelled
him to take it Several questions
asked by the Count" were ruled out
by the court on the grounds that
they were concerning incidents of
several days prior to the alleged
crime.
The Count" was then placed on
the stand and said:
81 never struck the boy at all and
never i'll used him in the world" He
was emphatic in that statement

ATIIABAsCA LANDING, CANADA,
September 6.--News of the probable
loss OF the schooner Duchess of Bed
ford the ship belonging to the Anglo
American Arctic expedition, which
hoped to find new continent north of
Mackenzie River, was brought here by
Alfred Harrison, who has been in the
Arctic circle for two years, and who
came here on the steamer Midnight
Sun.
Mr.. Harrison said Ernest Stefansson,
of Harvard University. after whom the
expedition has boea called. himself
brought the news of the loss of their
boat to Herschell Island.
lie also brought the news of the
disappearance of three members of the
party, and expressed the fear that they
had met death in the frozen north.
The missing men are Captain Mikel-
sen, Dane; Ernest Lefilngwell, Of
Chicago, and j. M. Marks.
They left the ship in February, with
sixty days provisions. for the sup
posed land to the North, and had been
gone seventy days, and no news had
been received from them. One of their
teams of dogs, had returned, and It is
likely the party will never be heard
from again.
The schooner Duchess OF Bedford,
ship had filled with water. probably
from the ice strain, but they had been
liable to. remove everything of value to
the main shore.
