nounced its verdict, as manslaughter. The
extreme sentence for this offense in Iowa

verdict calmly. Her9mainsat liberty up
on his bond. The jury took but two ballots
on the question of guilt, the remaining bal
lots being on the degree of guilt. The ver
dict, while somewhat unlocked for, is re
ceived with general approval. There is
great probability of further developments
in the great cape soon, aud it is not improb
able that Munchrath will yet turn states
evidence and divulge the inside of the
whole matter. It is now certain that
others of the defendants and conspirators
will be brought to trial.

A negro cook named Jc?e Dixon, em
ployed at the Hotel Beaumont, Onray, Col.,
had a fancied grievance agamst Miss Ella
B&y, a waitress, and shot her four times
with a large revolver, three balls taking
effect in her arms and the other in her
breast. Dixon was arrested and jailed.
A mob went to the jail for the purpose of
lynching the negro, lhey captured the
guard but failed to gain an entrance They
then saturated all parts ot the building with
coal oil and set fire to it. The fire depart
ment came out and in the attempt to ex
tinguish the flames drowned the negro,
whose body was roasted in the burning
building. The wounded girl is not expected
to recover. It has been discovered in the case of
Maud Comston, lying upon a bed *bf
languishing and suffering and possible
death, at Minneapolis, in consequence of
the unspeakably brutal assault upon her
byHalReid, that her spine is dwiQcated.
She is reduced to a mere skeleton and her
recovery is doubtful. As the poor girl and
her family are necessitous a fund for her
heneflt is being raised to provide her with
the comforts her condition demands.
Three physicians have volunteered to care
for her professionally, and their testimony
is that she was a chaste simple-minded
girl, and the assault upon her unparalelled
for its inhumanity.
The case of David B. Staples
charged with an attempt to kill Charles A.
Winship of Minneapolis, was called for trial
at Freeport, Bis. On an affidavit of the
defendant that his mind was impaired by
drink at the time he committed the assault
and that he could prove it by physicians
from Stillwater, the case was continued
until the December term of court. Charles
A. Winship and John B. Atwater of Min
neapolis were in the court room. Stapl
is much discouraged in consequence of
being able to secure bail. He went
backnoot
jail. Staples has sent to Stillwater
friends who are expected to reach Free
port soon when bail may be secured.

At Sioux City, Iowa, the case
Sylvester Granda, one of the defendants
charged with the murder of Dr. Haddock,
was set for trial in the district court. By
agreement of counsel the case was post
poued to the November term, and the case
of John Arensdorf, the principal defendant
was set for trial Nov. 14. Arensdorf was
tried last February and the jury failed to
agree. The result of the Munchrath case
has had the effect of reviving public
