Fargo, Dak., Aug. 23.— This was the last day of the Republican convention. The convention assembled promptly at 10 this morning, notwithstanding it was nearly 3 o'clock before Armory hall ■was deserted by the delegates at last night's session. There was a marked falling off in the number of spectators, owing, probably, to the intense disgust entertained by those witnessing the pandemonium proceedings of yesterday. After a little coaxing on the part of Chairman Johnson, the convention was finally gotten in order, and proceeded to complete the ticket. H. J. Helgesen, of Cavalier, was decided upon for com missioner of labor and agriculture. Mr. Helgeson is of Scandinavian origin, and an alleged leader of that nationality in Mr. Helgeson made an address of con dolence of pith and enthusiasm, and probably to the point. For commis sioner of insurance, O. L. Carey, of Cass, was recognized as a man in every way capable of coping with the many trying circumstances surrounding this Office. Besides, he was a good man to have on the ticket to hold the railroad vote, having been a conductor on the Northern Pacific for a number of years. Besides, he is credited with being the author of the famous 5 per cent INSUUAXCK TAX BHIi of the last legislature. At this point of the proceedings there was a digression from the reeular routine business, and the chairman explained his striking altitudes behind the desk by stating that the chair in which he was sitting was the same one in which (Jen. Grant sat when Gen. Lee surrendered his army. After this incident had been fully and freely commented upon and Gen. Capehart congratulated upon being possessor of the relic, a vote was taken for railroad commissioners. George S. Montgomery, of. Sargeant, and T. S. Underbill, of Stark, were de clared nominated, but the third mem ber could not. readily be determined upon. Balloting proceeded for another hour or so, and finally D. Barllett, of Gripes, was given the plum. Mr. Montgomery is listed as a flourish- Ing attorney at his place of residence in Sargeant county, and as being fully capable of holding down his end of the commission. Mr. Montgomery is a dealer In blooded stock. Bartlett, of Griggs, is a lawyer. After the chair had been sustained in its decision that Biirtlett had honestly been elected chairman, Kn°eshaw introduced tne platform. Alter this had been INDOKSKI) AND OHDKHKI) SPREAD upon the minutes, the following was as greedily seized upon and ordered mor tised into the structure: Kesolved. That we, the Republicans of the new state of North Dakota, hi convention assembled, do hereby respectfully urge the location of the world's fair at Chicago in 1892, ami recommend to our delegates soon to occupy scats in the national halls of con gress to use their influence to secure the said location, believing it to be a deserving recog nition of American-enterprise, and an estim able f tctor in developing North Dakota aud the new Northwest. After this had been engrafted a para graph was introduced stipulating that the watchword of the G. (). P. should be economy, and it was adopted. After appointing a committee of seven to se lect a member from each senatorial dis trict to form an aggregation, the whole to act as state central committee, the Republican state convention adjourned Bine die. ON THIS THKY STAND. Platform Adopted by the G. O. P. at Fargo. Fargo, N. D., Aug. 23.— The platform Adopted by the Republican state con vention to-day is as follows: Unsolved, That, as Republicans of North T>alTota in convention assembled, we reafiinn the platform of principles indorsed by the national Republican convention of 188?*. Bud heartily indorse the administration of President Harrison. We hail with pleasure the near approach to statehood, and in this, ou- first conven tion, with that in view, we congratulate the Republican party upon its thorough organ ization, and the happy blending in its ranks of our native and foreign-born citizens, of whatever nationality or previous political opinions, Into one harmonious union with (he great national Republican party, a party which secures to the emigrant his homestead, his pre-emption or his tree claim, and wel comes him to a heritage such as no other gov ernment can offer; a party which stands for American honor, power, progress and pros perity; which demands ample remuneration to labor and full security to capital; which idvoeates pure, true, popular government, moral, intellectual and material develop tnenl, and the comfort and sanctity of the American home. We fully and unreservedly recognize agri culture as the paramount material interest of North Dakota; that there should not and reasonably cannot be any antagonism be tween this and commercial, manufacturing:, mereautile or other interests, because all these are inseparably identified v. i;li the great central agricultural interest, and de pendent upon its prosperity for their own success. We therefore declare it to be the fluty, as it should be the pleasure, of all meu placed In public position by the people of North Dakota, to oppose every unjust en croachment of corporations or trusts upon the rights or insterests of the farmers, and to go administer the government in all its branches as will best conduce to the welfare, prosperity and advancement of our agricult- Dral people. \\ c are uncompromisingly in favor of the American system of protection, by such prop erly regulated import duties upon foreign products as will stimulate every industry and protect the wages of our vast army ef labor ers against the unfair competition of the serfs of Russia, nyots of India, coolies of China and the pauper labor of other nations. We honor that grand army of men who fol lowed Grant, Sherman and Sheridan until permanent and enduring peace was estab lished by their victories and sacrifices, and we are in favor of granting equitable ami liberal pensions to all honorably dis charged soldiers and sailors, and we believe that the flags should stay where they are. The Republican party, viewing with un feigned regret the growing evils of intemper i&r^^^^y^-^?*-??"*^* ance in our land, declares itself in sympa thy with all well-directed efforts calculated to suppress this vice. We view with pride onr educational facili ties, the flourishing condition of our com mon schools, collects ana university: nnd we demand that the grand inheritauce of the land ntnv provided for their maintenance and perpetuity shall bepuavded with zealous care. We cordially nrprove the wisdom of the constitutional convention in providing for ihv submission to a vote of the people of the question of prohibition, in accordance with the expressed wish of ihe organized temper ance associations of North North Dakota, and, in the event of the adoption by the people, we pledge our members to a strict enforcement of the law, and will enact such legislation as may be necessary to that end.

At 7:30 the committee met again with the nom inees and a long session was held, when the work of the campaign was mapped out. WHO THEY ARE. Sketches of the Republican Standard-Bearers in North Da kota. John Miller was born near Dryden, N. V., forty years ago. lie was raised on a farm and educated in the common schools of the country. In early manhood he engaged in the mercantile business In Drydeu as a clerk, and has been until receutly more or less ex tensively engaged in such business for him self. Mr. Miller has lived an uneventful career, but has always enjoyed a reputation for strict integrity and moral uprightness. In ISBO he came to Dakota as an employe of the Dwight Farm anrt Land company, with headquarters at Dwight. Richland county. Mr. Miller's political career began in 1888, when the Vaiipelon Globe began booming him for tlie territorial council. Up to that time he had never thought ot holding a polit ical office. He made a good record in the territorial council, and through his brusque and vigorous, yet gentle manner, won the es teem of his issoeiatea, and through the pe culiar conditions of North Dakota politics at once became a popular, though unwilling, candidate for governor of the new state. Alfred Dickey, the nominee for lieutenant governor, is a banker at Jamestown. He is an Ohio man, about forty-five years of age. He went to Jamestown eiglu or nine years ago from Crawfordsville,*Bbd. When he was a resident of the '"HoosTer Athens'' he was in tlie book business, aud. in partner snip with Treasurer Brewe. of La Moure county, used to amass wealth by selling copy books and slate pencils to the school chil dren and green w&ll paper to their mothers. But Dickey did not confine his efforts to his red-front store, but filled several local offices in Indiana, and was one of the shrewdest politicians in a close county. He was a good fellow, always square and honorable. Every body liked him, anil he came to have cons-id erable political inllueuee iv the state before he pulled up stakes there and went to Da kota. It was to his services to the party in Indiana and his personal acquaintance with President Harrison that he looked very large ly for success when he had hopes of being appointed territorial governor. He has been successful in business in Dakota, is thorough ly loyal to the interests of the new state, has done" lots of good work for his party without asking anything until recently for himself, and is a first-rate man for the office. John Fiitlie, of Traill county, tlie candi date for secretary of state, is a representative Scandinavian, a man of ability, still young, and strong as a vote getter with* all national ities. Col. L. E. Booker, of Pembina, the candi date for treasurer, is an old pioneer, and is competent to till the office. John L. Bray, of Grand Forks, the nominee for auditor, is the most popular young Kepub lican iv North Dakota. H. C. Hansbrough, editor of the Devil's Lake Inter-Ocean, is the nominee for mem ber of congress. Gen. G. T. Goodwin, of Ransom, the nomi nee fcr attorney general, is a member of the Dakota bar. He has beeu a resident ot the territory for several years, and where best known is very popular. William Mitchell, of Fargo, the nominee for superintendent of public in&tructiou, is an educator of ability. VERMILION COLORS. Some New State Politics — A Sun day Bather Drowned. Veemuxion, S. D., Aug. 23.—Poli tics is badly mixed here. A few sore heads banded themselves together to oppose the nomination of George Mellette, and gathered to themselves such others in the way of officeseekers, etc., as they could get. The fight was close, but the law-and-order Mellette ticket carried the clay. In the northern part of the county there is a rather strong element in favor of Salmon for state superintendent, coming from his former friends and neighbors there. The county as a whole is for Mellette, Kratz, Gamble and Gifi'ord both. A knot of eight business men hap pened to eather on the street corner one day recently, and ou the suggestion of one of them a vote on the capital ques tion was taken. The result was Pierre, 4; Redfield, 2; Sioux Falls, 1; Huron, 1. This is a very fair average for the vote throughout this section. The premium list for the Clay county fair has been issued. Four days' fair has been provided for- Oct. 17 to 20. Emil Lind was drowned near Bloom ingdale last Sunday while bathing in the Vermilliou river. His associates had started home before he was missed. He was found in about seven feet of water. POLITICS IN PEMBINA. Some of the Men the People Want to Pill the Places. Special to the Globe. Pembina, N. D., Aug. 23.— The polit ical pot in Pembina county has just began to boil, and candidates for clerk of court; senate and representatives are now numerously named. But the most prominent candidate thus far name for the senate is Hon. T. W. Conney, of Neche. His well-known rhetorical and oratorical abilities are well known, and as far as a fearless, honest, able statea SAINT PAUL, MINN., SATURDAY MORNING, AUGUST 24, 1889. man. North Dahota's interests will be greatly served in the election of such a man. For a long time a resident of Minneapolis, he has for five years been a deputy United States custom house officer at Neche and Pembina. He received a thorough collegiate edu cation, and is now pronounced an able man by both friends and enemie9. His nomination for the senate is now as sured. DAKOTA'S CATTLE PLAGUE. Territorial Veterinarian Collins Says Us Splenic Apoplexy. Special to the Globe Yaxktos, Dak., Aug. 23.— Territorial Veterinary Surgeon Collins has com pleted his investigation of the cattle epidemic, and finds the disease to be splenic apoplexy, caused by drinking impure water. About 300 cattle have died. FOR SUPREME JUDGE. The Able Incumbent, W. B. Me- Connell, Will Run Again. Special to the Globe FARGO, N. D., Aug. 23.— The many friends of Judge William B. McConnell will be pleased to learn that he has finally consented to become a candidate for election to the judgeship of the Third judicial district, comprising the counties of Cass, Steele and Traill. His long experience upon the bench, un swerving integrity and universal good nature mark Him as a most successful candidate for this important position. While the .itidge is a Democrat from principle, he never has and never will allow any political aspirations of him self or friends to stand between his good '^^n^^^^:: judgment and the administration of justice. The only fault so far found with the judge is that he does not as pire to a supreme justiceship, rather than that of district judge. The bar, who are supposed to be the best judges, will almost to a man support him. His candidacy is hailed with delight by all our staid and thorough-going citizens. A unauimous election does not seem probable, but a large majority will cer tainly be secured. NEW POSTMASTERS. Several to Get Berths in Dakota and Montana. Special to the Globe. Washington, Aug. 23.— There is but little pernicious activity in the postoffice department at present. The following changes will be made in Dakota: Fifty three citizens of Collins, Fall River county, have petitioned for tlie appoint ment of Leonard D. Powell to be post master in place of Sheldon, who has sold out his business and moved away. W. B. M. Torrey, the postmaster at Silvei Leaf, Dickey county, has resigned and Thomas E. Miles has applied for the position, but Mr. Mathews has made no recommendation. G. B. Dyer, post master at llion, Faulk county, has re signed and recommended the discontin uance of the office. The following new postoffices will be established at the close of the current month: Fincher. Wells county. N. D., eight miles north east of Oshkosh. Jem Fincher to be postmaster; Ele, Custer county. S. D., twenty-live miles west of Ouster, Will iam Smith to be postmaster; King, Rolette county, N. D., twenty-five miles southeast of Napoleon, Peter Koenig to he postmaster; Moe, Lincoln county, S. D., five miles east of Nurey, Paul Hanson proposed postmaster. Kiia, Moody county. South Dakota, eight miles southeast of Flandreau, Knut O. Theo proposed postmaster. Whitlet, Wells county, North Dakota, eighteen miles northeast of Oshkosh, William Montgomery proposed postmaster. The following are also on the tapis for Mon tana: Darby, Missoula county, six miles south of Como, Joseph W. Darby to be postmaster. Hannans, Missoula county, fourteen miles northeast of Ashley, Joseph Gaugner proposed post master. Tawopa,Da\vson county,thirty two miles west of Fort Buford, Thomas Cushing proposed postmaster. Fish trap is the name of a new postoffice in Todcl county, which has been recom mended by Congressman Comstock. It is on the line of the new railroad be tween Motley and Staples, on Long Prairie; B. F. Hartshorn has been rec ommended as postmaster. There has been great delay in handling cases for the establishment of new postoflices on account of the failure of the public printer to furnish proper blank forms for the postoffice department. The Re publicans.during the last congress, were exceedingly diligent in their investiga tions of Public Printer Benedict. The Democrats will have ample opportunity to return the compliment next winter by investigating Public Printer Palmer. Beadle County Nominations. Special to the Globe. Huron, Dak., Aug. 25.— The Eepub lican county convention held here this afternoon was lanrely attended, dele gates from each of the thirty-five town ships being present. O. Alford was elected chairman and Robert Kilgore and R. W. Cowen secretaries. Seventeen delegates were chosen to the state convention, to be held next Wednesday, and a like number to the judicial convention to be held at Red field. John Cain, of Huron, was nom inated for state senator; for representa tives, Karl Gerner, Frank Munson, John Westdahl, G. E. Mahaffy and E. Wilson. John A. Wood was nominated for county judge. NO CHANCE FOR PROMOTION. Ability Subservient to Politics in the Civil Service. Washingxon, Aug. 23.— President Lyman. of the civil service commission, was to-day questioned by a representa tive of the Associated Press as to the views of the commission with respect to the proposition to so amend the civil service rules as to remove chiefs of di visions from the excepted class, and place them iv the class subject to competitive examination. He said in response that the commission has not recommended to the president such amendment of the rules as suggested, though the commission holds that the filling of places of division chiefs by promotion of subordinates would be in the interest of reform. By the removal of these places from the excepted class they would, the commission holds, cease to become political prizes, but legitimate prizes to be won by ability in tlie lower grades of the service. ROBERTS DIES GAME, The Murderer of Teamster Crawford Is Legally Choked at Butte. Senator Manderson Writes a Letter Praising Himself and Tanner. He Won't Accept an Increase of Pension Without Further Examination. A Badge? Swallows Spavin Cure and Liniment With Suicidal Intent. Butte, Mont, Aug. 23.— Harry Rob erts was hanged to-day for the murder of J. W. Crawford. The drop fell at 1:12 and Roberts' neck was broken by the fall. A strong pressure was brought to bear by Grand Army men and a num ber of citizens to have the sentence com muted to life imprisonment, and it was not until 8:45 this morning that tlie con demned man abandoned all hope of par don, when the sheriff read a mes sage from Gov. White refusing to interfere with the law's decree. Roberts did not weaken to the last, and died as he had lived— a cool and determined man. This is the first execution in Sil ver Bow county. Roberts' crime was the unprovoked killine of Crawford on May 14 last. Crawford was a teamster under Roberts, and they had a quarrel and Roberts shot him while drinking. A somewhat dramatic incident was con nected with the burial of Crawford. He was a good-natured man and had many friends. His relatives all lived at Butler, Mo., and telegrams were sent asking them what disposition should be made of his remains. No answer was received for two days, and the funeral procession, with Crawford's remains, was en route to the cemetery when the coroner came rushing from the street with a telegram from the rel atives. This stated that they Would like to have the remains, but were too poor to pay the expenses of embalming and shipping. A collection was taken up on the spot, the body brought back to town, embalmed and shipped and all expenses paid. It was then discovered that $600 too much had been subscribed. This amount was accordingly sent with the remains to the relatives. THIS WILL PLEASE TANNER. Senator Mandcrson in a Letter ■ Taffies Himself and the Pension Boss. '■■■.■■■■■' ■'-",'- *■}.«• • .-.- Omaha, Xeb., Aug. 23.— Senator Charles F. Mandersoii* this * evening handed the following letter to Corporal Tanner concerning his rerated pension," to a reporter: . Omaha, Neb., Aug. 23.— Hern. James Tan ner, Commissioner of Pensions, Washington. My Dear Sir: I returned to my honat yester day after an absence of- nearly : two months, during which time I have -been beyond mall , communication, having been during a great 1 part of the time in Alaska with the senate committee on Indian affairs. With my ac cumulated mail I find a blank voucher -trans* mitted by the United Stales pension agent at r Dcs 1 Monies, - lowa. to be exe cuted and returned to .';. him that I may draw ■ pension due .• me under reissued Pension Certificate So. 53647, cor recting the rate from $15 to $30 per month from March 18, lb«s. Accompanying this blank- application is the reissued" pension certificate described, and your letter of in closure stating the facts of its issuance, and ■ that a check for the amount due me will be forwarded on my return of the voucher prop erly executed. • Before my • ' - ■ ; : '•-• DEPARTURE TOR THE ALASKAN TRIP " '-'. it had been stated to me by parties claiming; to know that the pension bureau had rerated ;my . pension without any application or knowledge on my part, and I had even read •: in some newspapers the false statement that I bad received about $1,000 due me under the mating. The letter, - certificate and voucher received by me to-day are the first formal or official notification! have received ! that the bureau of pension, .'on its own motion, had issued a new certificate grant- ing me a rerating. You will .bear me out in the assertion that this action on the part of the officials . of your bureau has not only been without my application, but hat been without my agency or suggestion, di rectly or indirectly applied, and without my knowledge that it was to be done, or was con templated. Not that such application by me and such rerating by you would be just and" right under the law and in common fairness, but I make the statement that the exact truth may be understood. I have rend to-day | In papers issued during the past few weeks so much of untruth maliciously written, and bo much that it is unjust to you and unfair to me, that 1 feel outraged and indignant. i For your administration of the affairs of your office with proper regard to the law of the country, which does not recognize a soldier's pension as a bounty or charity, but as his contract right, and looks upon the republic's obligation to its defenders not as a duty, but as a privilege, you are to be broken down by : OUTRAGEOUS MISREPRESENTATIONS . r« and personal abuse. So far as my own case ■ is involved it is not material what ' may be said or written concerning me. I will pur sue the course that shall give me the ap proval of my own conscience, uninfluenced by clamor and not fearing abuse, courtiug fair criticism and desiring the good opinion of the just. Senator Manderson then recounts his services in the war, and concludes: w I doubt if I would ever have made applica tion for such increase, but you have seen fit to take up my case without my knowledge, and, with the kindness of a comrade, himself a grievous sufferer from wounds, have done that which you believe just and right under the law you are sworn to administer. For this I thank you most sincerely, but under this at tack upon you there must be left no room for doubt or cavil as to the full propriety of your conduct. The medical and legal experts of your oflßce have acted upon the records as made in your office and including the six examinations made since the war (the record of none of which have I ever seen) have declared that I was unjustly rated. Before I can execute the voucher received, or take any other steps in this matter, I de sire that there should te a RIGID AND SEARCHING EXAMINATION by medical experts as to the extent of the present disability. Thanks to a careful life and abundant vitality 1 have no expectation of an early death, and I know my remaining days would be greatly solaced and blessed if a competent medical board could eiye me the assurance that my pains and ills are mere figments of the imagination, and that I am whole in body and sound in mind. For such a result I would almost be willing to apologize for having fought on the right side or the War of the Rebellion. I, therefore, respectfully ask that you, or the honorable secretary of the interior, designate a board of medical examiners somewhere in the country charged with the duty of making physical examination and report the facts as to my condition. If this request shall be complied with, please advise me of the time and place, my only preference being, in view of oilier engagements, that it should be alter Oct. 1. PBMPED OUT JUST IN TIME. A Badger Swallows Horse Lini- ment With Suicidal Intent. Special to the Globe. Eav Claire, Wis., Aug. 23.— Ed Johnson told his wife yesterday if she did not come and live with him he would poison himself. She refused and he swallowed about a pint of "Sure cure for spavin" and some ringbone liniment that he found in Mr, Tinker's stable. He suffered untold agony, but was pumped out and his life saved by the city physician, AROLA IS AT LARGE. A Dangerous Insane Man Escapes From St. Peter. Special to tne Glodc. Fekgtts Falls, Aug. 23.— Word was received here this morning by Probate Judge Chapman that Robert Arola had escaped from the insane hospital at St. Peter. Arola was tried in the district court of Otter Taftfcounty last Novem ber for shooting his father without any provocation, and the verdict was "not guilty by reason of insanity." He was then committed to the insane hospital by the probate court. There has been doubt in the minds of many people whether the verdict of the district court jury was warranted or not. though there is uo question that Arola has but a low grade of intelligence. After shooting Wis father he escaped to the woods and was not captured for several days. He ts a Finlander and lived in the neigh borhood of New York Mills in a Finn settlement. It is expected that he will try to make his way back to that local ity. The Finlanders there generally fear him, and the news of his escape will bring terror to every person who was in any way connected with his arrest and incarceration. He is cer tainly a dangerous man to be at large. HOPING AGAINST HOPE.

BEAT HIS OWN RECORD The Phenomenal Three- Year- Old Stallion Axtell Makes a New Mark. He Trots a Mile With Only One Break in 2:14. His Owner, G. W. Williams, Offered $100,000 for the Equine Wonder. Full List of the Horses Which Are to Trot at -Min nehaha Park. Chicago, Aug. 23.— Admirers of the trotting horse who went to Washington Park, enjoyed a great day's sport to day, the fifth of the Northwestern Breeders' Association meeting. The phenomenal three-year-old stallion Ax tell, trotted a mile in 2:14; and another three-year-old, the bay stallion Allerton, in the third heat of a bruising race, made the circuit of the track in 2:lBJ£. Besides these events, the race for the 2:21 class was very hotly contested, and required six heats to finish it. Axtell's mile in 2:14 clips three-quarters of a A.XTELL. second from his former record of 2:14%', notwithstanding the fact that even that record was better than the best previous performance by either a three-year old .."or.; a." four-year-old. It is also within : three : quarters of a second of Patron's 2:133£. which stands as the best record for a. stallion of any age. The .circumstances" under which this record was made are likely to give rise to endless discussion as to whether it was a record in a race or against time. Axtell and Eail McGregor were on the card of the day as starters in the stal lion stake, and the card also announced that Axtell would go -: . TO BEAT HIS OWN^ECOKD.-. iV '<'' The first heat j| was « trotted under the ., usual conditions oi a race, and served . merely as a warmer, beine gone in 2:19. In the next heat, that in which the rec ord was made, distance was waived, and Axtell had a running horse to accom pany and encourage him from the up per turn to the finish,- Earl McGregor being far behind and cutting no figure in. it. It should be said . that the heat was trotted squarely and without a skip to within about seventy- feet of the wire, when, owing to bad judgment in the handling of the runner, the little stal lion was started into a run and gallop under the wire. Whether or not he gained by the break is an open ques tion. Both Axtell and Allerton are owned by a lucky young man, C. W. Williams, of Independence, 10. Before Axtell went his fast mile, Col. John W. Conley approached Mr. Williams and. asked him to put a price on the animal. Mr. Williams replied he was not pre pared to name a price. "Will you take $100,000 for him?" asked Conley. .--:;.;. --"If I were offered $100,000 for him— n pos itive offer," replied Mr. Williams, "I would consider it." "Think the matter over," were Col. Con ley's parting words, "and if you decide to take that amount, let me know." Col. Conley declines to give the name of the principal whom he represents in these negotiations.

' There was a suspicion that Fred Arthur was not - being driven to win, as he has a record over a three-quarter mile track better than 2:16, and as he was not winning over a fast track when the time was much slower, the judges put him in charge of another driver for the night. He was, and is, a great favorite in the pools. : During the day the bay mare Elgin Girl was sent to pace a mile against her own record of 2:20)^, but could do no better than 2:21%.

Secretary Jones, of the Minnehaha Driving park, has completed the list of entries for the autumn meeting at the park, beginning next Tuesday. There will be ten races during the four days' meeting, and from the list of entries they will be of unusual interest. Mr. Jones believes there is a larger percent age of horses of known mettle and speed entered than at the summer meeting, though the aggregate number of entries is not so large.

MORE-:- "WANT"-:- ADS ARE Published in the GLOBE THAN ANY OTHER PAPER. IT IS THE People's Favorite Medium. NO. 236. HE LOVED NOT WISELY A Chicagoan Imprisoned on a Trumped-Up Charge of Burglary. His Only Offense Was to Wia a Millionaire's Daugh ter's Heart. Papa Opposed the Proposed Match and Jailed the Young Romeo. He Also Paid $10,000 Tributq to a Journalistic Black mailer. Chicago, Aug. 23.— T0-day the re markable case of George Dunning waa given authoritative form for the first time. In an interview held in the Joliet penitentiary, where Dunning is sttll confined, he himself tells the strange story which has been current for some time, and which exhaustive inquiry in Chicago appears to have con firmed in every detail. Dunning is an an intelligent-looking fellow, twenty three years of age, with a smooth, rosy complexion and an appearance that might take the fancy of almost any sus ceptible young girl. He was very reti cent when asked about how he had been railroaded to the penitentiary, ostensi bly for burglary, but really for having won the heart of a millionaire's daugh ter, and how the millionaire had atter wards been BLACKMAILED BY AX EDITOR who learned the facts. Mr. Dunning was sentenced to four years' imprison ment, and lms seven months of it yel before him. The young fellow, whose fault, in the millionaire's eyo». seems to have been his humble station, said that the story regarding his meeting and acquaintance with the millionaire's daughter was a true one. Dunning was a newspaper circulator, handling a route on the North side. While in the pursuit of his calling he went to the millionaire's door early every morning,' and was surprised after a time to learn that he had become an object of inter est to the plutocrat's only daughter, a handsome young girl just about enter-, ing society and chafing under the re straints that had been placed upon her. The lovers gradually came to meet about daybreak every morning for a few blissful moments at the door of the millionaire's mansion. An inkling of the situation reached tht> prospective father-in-law, and young Dunning was soon afterward called to South Chicago ostensibly to see a gentleman regarding his sweetheart. While there he was met by ajjej'SPn. named Frank Allen, with whom he was slightly acquainted. Suddenly, as the two were standing to gether, officers came up and arrested them on a charge of burglary. Both were tried, convicted and sentenced for four years each. A few days later Allen's sentence was reduced to one year, and after Dunning had been taken to the penitentiary, Allen's sentence was again cut down by the hocus-pocus of a new trial, and lie was released after a week in jail. When Dunning was ar rested he was PENNILESS AND FHIENDI,KSS, but the girl who loved him had sold her trinkets, and hired a vouns? lawyer to defend him. The millionaire, finding who was the lawyer, bought him off. and the latter persuaded Dunning to plead guilty as the only chance of sav ing him from a severe sentence.' A hint of the real facts was obtained by the editor, who subsequently figures in the story. The editor was at that time on the verge of financial ruin, and instead of publishing the news he promptly blackmailed the millionaire. Ten thou sand dollars cash was the price of the newspaper man's silence. When the young unfortunate entered Joliet prison, it is said the officials were in structed to put him at the hardest and most trying kind of work in the peni tentiary. Dunning was a man of slight build, and was soon badly used up, had a hacking cough, and in every way presented a sickly appearance. He could hardly talk a sentence without a severe fit of coughing. A police official, who was an enemy of the editor, and for personal reasons was running down the latter's part in the affair, was horri fied, on going to the prison, to find the PITIABLE PLIGHT OP DUNNING. The police mogul used his influence with the officials at the penitentiary to have him removed from the quarters he was then in and lighter work given him. At this time there had been two attempts made to get Dunning par doned, but for some reason or other the attempts proved fruitless, punning was allowed to languish in prison des pite everything, until, to-day, he ap peared to fear to discuss his strange ex perience, thinking it would cause him trouble when he regains his liberty. When asked if he knew what had be come of the lady, he stated that he had heard she was engaced and would soon be married to a Chicago man. PATH OF THE*HUKIIICANE.
