• \G Characterizes J The Globe. P~~~/ VOL. XI. TOCRUSHIOSY" Representative Maland Pre pares a New Bill on Local Option. fie Restricts It to Towns of Less Than 5,000 People. The Attorney General Scans It With an Eagle Eye. Senators Give Divided Opin ions Upon the Reappor tionment Question. Mr. Clapp Will File an Opin ion Thereupon This Week. Freeman Lane Scents an Er- - ror in the Forbes Gam bling Bill. "It is not my intention," said Repre sentative Maland yesterday to the Globe, "to annihilate high license. I am a high license man, and my local option bill was intended to be in line with the present law. But after consul tation with a large ntfmber of temper ance advocates and due consideration of all the facts in the case, I have decided to amend it." In accordance with this statement, Mr. Maland, who is recognized as the head and front of the temperance ele ment of the present house, has drafted a bill amendatory of the local option one which he introduced last week. This new bill will probably be introduced to-day, it having passed under the keen eye of the attorney general last night. The bill in its scope is more liberal than the first. It so amends the local option act that it shall only . apply to cities of less than 5.000 inhabitants. Why he so amends it Mr. Maland ex plains as follows: . .'. : :' Vy-; Hies of over 5,000 inhabitants have police forces who stand as the law above and in control of the saloon. There the high license operates with its penalty clauses to protect the people as. far as possible without the total abolition of the saloon, In towns and county places of less than 5,000 inhabitants police pro tection is lacking, and the saloon may flourish and depredate upon citizens without power to check it. My new bill proposes to give communities so unpro tected a law with which they can expurgate these evils, while in the localities where high license does the most good it is left to pursue its operations under no hamp pering provisions. There was a ques tion whether such a bill as this new one was constitutional, but I have the op'mn of several house lawyers that it is." If Mr. Maland be the type of the moderate and conservative temperance reformer, Mr. Ellingson, in contrast, may represent the nervous, articulated class. He bobbed into a house cloak room yesterday morning, as if walking on coals, and placing his mouth in the ear of Representative Sumner, asked in a Macready whisper: "Are you satisfied with high license?" Mr. Sumner spoke right out in meet lug, lie said that he was perfectly satisfied with high license, and wholly opposed to any new temperance legisla tion at present. It was quite evi dent that Mr. Eliingson was taking a poll of the house in the interest of the Sam Smith agitators. Two years ago Mr. Smith assured the house that high license would cure every evil from poll evil to drink evil. This year he wants more legislation. So does Mr. Filing son. But the majority of the members, by their daily expressed sentiments, want no battle over temperance this year. They are satisfied with high license. Mr. Maland's new bill is con sidered to be quite fair in tone, but hardly liable to pass in the face of the opinion of the members who are op posed lo professional agitation for the sake nt notoriety. As Mr. Maland says, lie has no desire to injure high license. He stands sepaiate from the Fllingsou- Smith combine. The attorney general gave his opinion last evening that this new bill was con stitutional. SENATORS ABE DIVIDED. Reapportionment I. ikes and Dis likes. Reaportioument— is it legal? Upon the answer filed by Attorney General Clapp largely hangs the decision of many senators upon a reapportionment of the stale. The question of legality is raised by section 23, article 4, of the constitution, which teads: "The legis lature shall provide by law for an j enumeration of the inhabitants of this state in the year 1865, and every tenth year thereafter. At their first session after each enumeration so made, and also at their first session after each enumeration made by the authority of the United States, the legislature shall have the power to prescribe the bounds of congressional, senatorial and representative districts." It is under stood that Attorney General General Glapp is of the opinion that the present legislature can legally proceed to reap portion the state, and will, within the present week, file a decision to that ef fect. The senate and the house have, in the meantime, appointed separate committees to formulate some scheme for reapportioning the state, and yester day Senator Marcus Johnson, as chair man of the senate committee, was com missioned to call a joint meeting of the two committees. The twenty-seven senators present at yesterday's session, interviewed upon their predilections on this question, expressed themselves as follows: Johnson, M.— l am in favor of it, but upon what basis I have not yet deter mined. Hoard— The state ought to be reap portioned, both as to its congressional, legislative and judicial districts. Whiteman— l am strongly in favor of it. We need it badly. Brown— l am in favor of reapportion ment: was last session. It is only an act of justice. I am, however, opposed to increasing the number of legislators. Day— l support reapportionment if it can be done on any basis by which the control of the legislature is kept out of the hands of St. Paul and Minneapolis. We must not reapportion upon any fraudulent and padded census, such as distinguished the last census of the Twin Cities. Gibson— l am not opposed to reappor tionment, but if 1 reau section 23. article <, of the constitution correctly, this leg \\\ I f / I Ml islature cannot reapportion the state. The neglect of the legislature of ISS7 cannot be corrected by the legislature of 1889. . Lende— lt is a legal question whether this legislature can reapportion. If we could legally do so, 1 would say before any reapportionment is made we must have an official census. Compton— l certainly favor it. I in troduced a bill two years ago. but it made no headway. lam no attorney, but I understand the attorney general has decided it would be legal for this legislature to reapportion the state. Oswald— There will be an election of senators in 1890, and it would he advis able to have a •reapportionment before that time. Anderson— it can be done constitu tionally, why 1 am in favor of it. Shields— We ought to be entitled to something, at the same time 1 would not have my district hitched on to any other. Ifti 'IB! iffinr Smith— is no question as to the justice of a reapportionment. There are portions of the state not properly represented, particularly the Northern portion, where there has been such a rapid increase of population since the last apportionment. Johnson, T. — A committee has been appointed. Let them do their work, and do what is right. Clough— By all means let us have a reapportionment. Edward— l do not think we have got any right to make an apportionment under the constitution. Thacker— There should be a reappor tionment at once. Crandall— we can get a square basis to work upon, let us have a reaportion ment at once. Hall— This is the proper time to make, a reapportionment. You cannot expect that a new legislature will legislate it self out of office. . Pope— l am awaiting the report of the committee before 1 form an opinion as to its propriety. Durant— Since the last reapportion ment there has been a rapid increase in the population of the state, and, that impartial justice may be done, another reapportionment is absolutely neces sary. I favor it at once. Ives— l have not examined the law yet. Nachbar— have not formed an opin ion.. \ Vy- Reapportionment is neces sary, and should be done at once. Wallmark— Let us wait until 1890, so that we will have a safe basis of the population to work upon. yVi Finseth — 1 have no objections to it if it can be proven the step is constitu tional. Hixson— We ought to have it. Scheffer— We should under all cir cumstances reapportion. Here is Sena tor Whiteman— represents 80,000 cit izens, he claims; and there is Senator Sampson; who claims to represent 50, --000. There are many such gross in equalities that ought to be corrected at the earliest possible moment. I fail to set! where the question ot- constitution ality comes in— a law is amendatory on the subject. - ' y "yV», LA.Mv-5 El r E Scans the Gambling Bill With Most Telling Effect. The Forbes gambling bill recom mended to pass by the house as a com mittee of the whole on Saturday and published in Sunday's Globe went back to the judiciary committee yester day afternoon in post haste. The bill as discovered by Freeman P. Lane makes it possible for the servant of the servant of the servant of the servant of the proprietor of a building whose lessee conducts gambling therein, on passing by and accidentally seeing a stack of "reds" and a "full hand" to be held amenable to the law if the'ifro prielor is absent in Florida, for permitting gambling on the premises. As soon as the proprietor returns from his orange groves the servant of the servant, etc., is discharged and the owner held for an offense which he never saw committed. All this Mr. Lane discovered in the sixth and seventh lines of the bill, and on his frankly stating so to the house the bill, with the consent of Mr. Forbes, was recommited. Various proprietors of buildings in Austin. Duluth and the Twin Cities can breathe easier for the space of one revolution of the earth. DELIBERATE POISONER, The State Outlines Its Case Against Mrs. Brown, the Alleged Borgia. Special to the Globe. Mason City, 10., Feb. 4.— The Brown poisoning case was resumed this after noon. Juror Howe, who was taken ill Saturday, was able to be on deck. The state outlined its case as follows: The fact of poisoning and death from it is proved by medical testimony and chem ical analysis. It could not have oc curred accidentally, as the quantity taken and the circumstances connected with the sickness show it must have been put in the food by some one. The defendant was the only one who had an opportunity to put it there, as she cooked the victuals both at noon and at night. The testimony of the boy Henry shows that neither lie nor Jesse went near the poison, aim that he did not see his grandpa in the room during the two or three hours of the absence of his parents, and his grandpa was doing chores at the barn when they came. All the male members of the family were at the barn till supper was called. It appears that the defendant not only is the nearest connected with the crime, but she is the only one who had a mo tive to commit the crime, as shown by her letters and expressions of hatred for both her husband and father-in-law to various witnesses. The purchase of other deaoly poisons, planutng with the hired man to get evidence against her husband for some purpose, grieving over the absence of the one she seemed to love, and making expressions showing a morbid state of mind, are additional evidence to show a motive on her part to commit the crime. The attempt to cast the guilt on her husband, and her conduct in hiding at Longworthy and numerous expressions and admissions, indicate her guilt. There are various other cir cumstances having weight in the case, and all of them seem to point to her; such as feigning sickness at the time of the coroners inquest and the fact that at the time of its occurrence she was the least sick of all the family, able to be up nearly all night and part of the next day, with no purging, no pain and little, if any, vomiting." mmm- Gov. Church Roasted. Special to the Globe. Fargo, Dak., Feb. 4.— The city coun cil to-night indorsed and ordered for warded to Bismarck a memorial from Company B, Dakota national guards, remonstrating . against Gov..

Zanzibar, Feb. 4.- -Germany has temporarily suspended the negotiations for the ransom of the German mission aries captured by the rebels, the terms being exorbitant.

FIVE BURIED ALIVE. The Walls of a Burned Build ing- Collapss With Flight-. : ful Effect. Five Persons Killed Outright and a Score More or Less Injured. Thirty Thousand Bushels of Grain Roasted in a Burn ing Elevator. School Teachers and Scholars Fall Victims to the Gale's Fury. Special to the Globe. Omaha, Neb., Feb. 4.— Max Meyer's three-story building on Faruuiu ami Eleventh streets, occupied by Harrow & Logan, Max Meyer & Co.'s branch store, and S. Seligman, was burned out about a fortnight ago. The roofless walls remained standing, and it was in tended to repair them and add a fourth story. To-day the wind has been blow ing a gale.and at 2 o'clock this afternoon it caught the east wall and blew down a portion of it on tne buildings adjoining with a tremendous crash. The structure which caught the brunt of the wreck was Max Meyer'stwo-story brick, No.lolß Faruum street. It was occupied in the floor by P. Boyer's safe store, aim in the second story by B. C. Dunbar's engrav ing and piloting house. Adjoining on the east was an old one-story frame, occu pied as a clothing store by E. Olson. There was a warning, a white puff of crumbling mortar; the rattling of a few bits of piaster and the crash of the wall followed in quick succession. hen the clo id of ■ dust blew away it revealed Dunbar's oflice crushed flat. The roof, walls and stock of Olsen's store were crushed to the ground. A shanty in the rear, occupied by Mrs. Hengen, , was also wrecked. A fire alarm was sent in and the force was called to the scene, ihe firemen, witn ropes, sought to pull down the walls on the other side and give access to tnose who were imprisoned. The street filled j with curious people who did not realize that any one was hurt until they saw " MEN AND WOMEN CRAWLING OUT of the debris and others cut and limp ing brought out by the firemen. The scenes were heartrending, and those wno had friends in the wreck could hardly be kept back. Moans and shrieks were heard as the bodies of tne dead and wounded were brought out. The ruins were crowded with business men and men in all conditions of life, who. worked earnestly when they found an opening to save the lives of the un fortunates. When the rescuers first ar rived at the scene, the cries of Olsen were heard in the northwest corner of the ruins. The rescuers went to work to save the' un orlunaie man. Every cry from the dying man brought new hands to the work of rescue. It re quired too much time, and gradually tne cries subsided. When they reached him Olcsen was dead. The body of Mike Martin. Dunbar's fireman, was taken out from the ruins in the vicinity of the boiler. The body was roasted and mutilated and presented a shocking ap pearance. Miss Emma Oliver, . the stenographer for Dunbar, was found about 2:30, half an hour after the wreck, lying between the safe and the walls. One leg was broken and she waa se verely bruised and sustained a serious concussion of the brain. She will die. Tom Houston, of Dunbar's stereotyping department, was found- lying up. near the boiler. His BODY AVAR HORRIBLY BURNED from head to foot, and his screams could be heard for blocks. He will probably die. John Jackson, aged seventeen years, was rescued with a broken leg and other injuries. Daniels, the driver for Hall's safe agency, was taken out badly bruised and injured internally, but will survive. Two girls, employed by Dunbar fell from the second floor and were severely bruised. Mrs. Hengen. who lived in the cot tage in the rear of Olsen's store, was buried under her own roof, but was extricated after sustaining a broken rib. Charles Cai»ar, engraver, sustained a broken leg just below the right knee. The names of the dead are: Mike Martin, Edward Oleson, Peter Boyer, Rudolph Mitchell and Samuel Lombard. Maxwell Houston, a pho tographer, is horribly scalded and crushed and cannot live. Mrs. Hengen has all the ribs on side of her body crushed in and both legs broken, and is dying. The injured are: E. H. Selver, engraver, shoulder crushed and finger broken; E. A. Piiilles, engraver, bruised; John Jackson, bruised; Miss Emma Oliver, stenographer, bruised about face and body Charles Blake, draughtsman, injured about face, and wili lose left eye; Charles Ctesar, fore man engraving department, badly bruised : George Searle, foreman art de partment, slightly bruised. The Meyer building was erected ten years ago at a cost of £50.000. Until six months ago it had been occupied by the firms of Max Meyer <& Bro. and Max Mever & Co., dealers in music, tobacco and general merchandise. The build ing was completely gutted by fire three weeks ago. It was remarked on the night of the fire that the walls had been so burned as to be unsafe. Since then nothing has been" done with them, and to-day they fell easy victims to the fury of the blasts. The damage is esti mated at -515,000, and it is probable that the rest of fhe building will be con demned. The two-story brick also bo longed to the Meyers. The loss on it will be about $10,000. The frame store was of little value. Dunbar's loss will be about $10,000, making a total loss of $35,000. . - BREADS! ROASTED. One of the Largest Elevators in Nebraska Burned Daring the Wind Storm— A Batch of Fatal ities. Special to the Globe. Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 4.— During a high wind this evening at.7 o'clock, the Brown elevator, one of the largest in the city, caught fire and burned to the ground. The elevator is a total loss together with thirty thou sand bushels of grain. The loss will ag gregate over §50,000. A heavy gale pre vailed all over Nebraska to-day, starting at 2 o'clock this niorumg at Alliance and reaching Lincoln about 9 o'clock a. m. Considerable damage was done in the western part of ■ the state, buildings being unroofed and trees blown down. At Arapahoe a number of small buildings were blown down, but injuring one. At Hastings the Central school was almost totally wrecked, four persons being so severely injured that recovery Is impossible, besides a large number slightly injured. One of the scholars in the Hastings school; building was killed outright; one other injured so that he will probably die before mid night, and the teacher, Miss Aldrich, Is seriously but not fatally injured. The storm was wide-spread, but reports so far received con line the serious damage to the . places mentioned. The ; storm' was also an electrical disturbance, and many, watches in this city .stopped^ at about 9 o'clock in the. morning. VVr^f ; HOT TIME** IN A HOTEL. W Rival Purchasers Fight to a Fin ish, and Threaten Blood -died . Ciiari.evoin, Mich., Feb. Last week A. B. Nichols, of East Jordan, sold his interest in the Commercial, hotel at that place to G.R. Martin. A warranty deed was given, possession to be given the next day. On going to .take pos • session the purchaser found William Alexander, an employe of Nichols, in possession, showing a quitclaim deed from Nichols, given on the same date as Martin's, and recorded that night. A lively fight ensued. Two officers were ' knocked down by Alexander, who, at last reports, held the fort, with the doors; barred and guarded by armed men. The town is considerably ex cited, and bloodshed is feared. The pair were out walking together, when the tragedy occurred. From ' cor respondence found in the girl's room, it is inferred that one Peter Campbell, Dempsey's rival for her hand, had been rejected this afternoon, but she feared that she : would be unable to convince Dempsey of Campbell's discomfiture. --.-'■ STAND UP AND PLEAD.

Rudolph Lost Two Horses, and Then Took His Own Life. Twenty-Four Lives Lost by a Collision of Ships at Sea. V London, Feb. Another sensa tional story relative to the death of the Austrian crown • prince comes from Brussels. It is asserted that the crown prince became entangled in an affair of honor with a high Austrian family, and that it was decided that the prince and a son of the family in question should light a duel on the so-called American plan, according to which method dice are ! thrown to decide which of the duelists shall commit suicide. The dice were thrown, land Kudolph lost. The time specified for the suicide of the loser, was three months, and at the ex piration of that period the crown prince fulfilled bis engagement and took his own life. The fact that during the time "mentioned Budolph was apparently preparing for his coming death seems to give color to ; the foregoing story. Emperor Francis Joseph .is re ported to have said to nerr yon Tisza that he had lost all hope and faith in his son's future, and that -nothing was left now but a sense of duty to him. The Crown Princess Stephani • has decided to remain in Vienna. Her affection . for the emperor and his own many manifestations of regard have caused her to . come to this decision. The Vienna correspondent of a London journal asserts that when the door of Crown Prince. Rudolph's room was forced open the body of a beautiful young Bohemian lady was also found. The correspondent asserts that the l crown prince, first killed her with a re volver, and then shot himself, and that tbe body of the lady was conveyed se cretly to the seat of her family in Bo hemia. .Two other versions, of the al leged double: tragedy are current, and have already been cabled abroad, but the foregoing account is most generally believed. ** . ; y.' -yy". CROWDS VIEW THE CORPSE. Patriotic Austrians Take a 7 Last : Look at the .'Remains of Crown " Prince' Rudolph .. .'.**;" k YiEKXA, ..Feb. 4.— As : the day pro gressed the approaches ; -to the court chapel became more and ; more ; densely packed with people anxious to gain a" vantage point from which to view. the remains of Crown Prince Rudolph. The crush was so great that the line of troops, formed to keep j! open a way to the chapel, was broken several times, resulting in great confusion and the in juring of a number of persons. Many "women who got caught in the great crush fainted and were with difficulty extricated and carried out from the crowd. Emperor Joseph, in re ceiving Baron yon Fejervary and other Hungarian ministers to-day, expressed his satisfaction at the tone of the Vienna and Pesth journals with reference to the political situation. The attitude of the press, he said, had -been ; a great solace to him In his grief. The emperor lias given orders for the completion of Rudolph's "Austria-Hungary in Word and Picture." Herr yon Szoegyenye, •an official of the imperial household, has gone to Luxemburg to take charge of papers left by the crown prince. The emperor and the empress go to Pesth on Saturday next. y '■'■< y One hundred single, candles in tall candlesticks burn, on the dais in the chapel, and at each corner of the dais stands a candelabrum with thirty can dles. ' The lights appear to rise out of a garden of flowers. Queen Victoria's ', wreath of white roses is placed at the head of the bier. Upon the wreath is this inscription: "Em zeichen einniger jfreundschaft.". It is untrue that a wax •mask covers the features of the dead prince. A - SMALL DARK BULLET HOLE fin the right- temple is clearly visible. Among the handsomest wreaths is one of camellias and yellow roses from Paris 'journalists. The wreath of the crown princess is inscribed simply "Yon Deine Stefanie," and that of the queen of Spain, "True Remembrance," Numerous visitors continue to arrive at Meyerling, but nobody is ad mitted to the residence of the crown prince. The coffin was 'closed this afternoon and the public /did not see the crown prince's face. i The coffin will be opened again to-mor row • morning, but only the crown prince's parents will be allowed a final view of ; the remains. At " the service eighty seats will be allotted to the members* of the diplomatic body and two* to journalists. Windows on ; the route of the funeral procession are I being let at high prices, 200 and 300 flor ins being paid. Several foreign news papers, including the Neueste Nach richten, of Munich, have been confis cated in the postoffiee because they contained alleged fanciful accounts of the incidents preceding Rudolph's sui cide. " The council of Austrian and Hungarian ministers meets on Wednes day to decide whether a fresh state ment ought to be published with a view of putting an end to the many rumors current. .--• The Times' Vienna cor espondent, in denying the statement that tlie Austrian crown princess' was taking a music lesson when she heard of her husband's death, says there are reasons why this should be denied. TWENTY-FOUR DROWNED. Two British Ships Sunk in Col ".* lision—Other Marine Mishaps. ! London, Feb. The steamer Nereid collided with the British ship Killochan, Manson, from Lyttlelym, via Queenstown, off Dunganess, last night, and both vessels went to - the , bottom in" a very short time. Twenty- • four persons were .drowned, including the "captain of the Killochan. Nine ■members ot the crews were rescued, one; of whom afterwards died. The weather was clear at the time of the collision. ;' Glasgow, Feb. 4.— Fears - are enter tained here for the safety of the British ship Bay of Cadiz, which sailed from Sydney, N. S, W., Oct. 20, for San Fran cisco. A premium of 50 guineas has been offered to reinsure the vessel. ; London, Feb. 4.— The Spanish mail steamer Remus has foundered off the island of Bileran, one of the Philippines. : All the passengers are supposed to have been drowned. The details of the collision between the steamer Nereid .and the ship Kil loehan, off Dungeness, last night, are ■ extremely heartrending. - Both - vessels sank within three minutes after the col lision, and those who were not carried down with them found themselves in ; water so cold as to benumb them in a very short time. Many of those rescued were unconscious when picked up and . were with great difficulty revived, while others were past resuscitation. The un fortunates taken on board the tug Bed Rose were immediately, stripped and rubbed, and upon their arrival at Dover were rolled in blankets and conveyed to the hospital. A number of those res cued will lose their fingers or toes from . the effect of frost bite. FURY OF THE GALE. Buildings Wrecked and Lives Crushed Out by Falling Walls. Special Cable to the Globe. London, Feb. 4.— During the gale last evening the barracks of the Salva tion Army at Derby was blown down while a meeting was in progress. Al most immediately the debris took fire from the stoves and began blazing fiercely. A boy of tourteen was killed .and hi body burned, but the other oc . cupants of the barracks succeeded in escaping from the fire, though many of them. were seriously, and some perhaps fatally, injured by the falling beams, etc. At Bolton a large stone became detached from the ceiling of the Church of the Holy Infant and fell upon the head of a schoolgirl, killing her in stantly and horribly crushing her body. At Pudsley, Yorkshire, the spire of the Congregational church was blown down and crashed through the roof. There was an average attendance of worship ers in the building at the time, and many of them were hurt by flying splint ers, glass, etc., but no one was killed. The escape of most of the congregation from instant death is regarded as mirac ulous, as the roof was completely wrecked and the interior of the church filled with broken timbers and stoves. FOUGHT LIKE WILD BEASTS. The Affray in Which a Police In spector Was Killed Was a Des perate Affair. Special Cable to the Globe. Dublin, Feb. 4.— Details are at hand of the murder of Police Inspector Mar tin at Derrybeg, County Donegal yester day, showing the fight to have been much more desperate and of larger pro portions than at first reported. The police have taken possession of a num ber of palings, posts, etc.. stained with blood spots corresponding with the 1 gashes upon Martin's head and body.

DASTARDLY ASSASSINS. ! Three Men Murder an Orphan in Cold Blood. VV-y Special to the Globe. Osage, To., Feb. 4.— North lowa Is getting more than its share of notoriety from the frequency of its murder trials^ The third one within two months is the case of Warren Murphy, accused of the murder of Henry Stocum, now on trial at Osage before Judge John C.Sher wood. The story of the crime is as fol lows: On Sunday night. July 15. be tween 9 and 10 o'clock. Henry Stocum, a New York orphan boy who came West some seven years ago— a quiet, peaceful, inoffensive fellow— was goinat home, when he met three young men in the road and stepped aside to let them pass. One of the largest ones, by the name of Carna O'Brien, without a word, struck him over the head, knocking him down. He hit him several times while he was down, and when Stocum got upon his bauds and knees O'Brien jumped on his back and choked, him, call ing on Warren Murphy to "Give it to him." " While O'Brien held Stocum, Murphy kicked him in a brutal manner. The cries of Stocum for help were heard half a mile or more away, but tie neigh bors thinking that the sound came from boys at play, did not go to his assist ance. Finally, after they had pounded him as long n&they dared they let him up, and bruise* and blending he started to go away from them, but they fol lowed him up, kicking and beating him unmercifully. When within a few roils of a residence the assailants' left Stocum, and although he was then in a dying condition he made his way into the "house where he related the outrageous treatment "" he had re ceived from the hands of O'Brien and Murphy. A warrant was issued for their arrest and the boys were taken before a justice, and were liberated by the- payment of a nominal fine. Considering the seriousness of the offense, much indignation was ex pressed at the trivial manner in which it was then regarded. Stocum lingered along in great pain until the following Saturday, when he died, remarking a short time before death came that "if he should die it would be because the boys pounded him so." County Attor ney Browne at once drew up a warrant for the arrest of the boys on a charge of murder in the first degree. O'Brien had his trial last October and was found guilty of manslaughter and was sen . tenced to a term or years in tho peni tentiary. About a year ago Stocum was a witness to a crime committed by O'Brien and the latter was afraid that Stocum would testify against him. He and Murphy also held a grudge against Stocum on account of testimony he once gave in a law suit. They had threatened to "do up" ' Stocum • several • times. Two weeks - before { the assault was made O'Brien told a neighbor that he was going to pouudStocum. On the - Thursday preceding the assault O'Brien. ; told another neighbor that "he would pound h- — out of -Stncum.?'. On the dar of the assault O'Brien and the Murphys were at another neighbor's inquiring for Stocum. It is generally considered that the state has a strong, case against Murphy,' but he .manifests no uneasiness at his impending fate. SATISFACIOUILY SETTLED.
