8 SAINT PAUL. BY WHAT W \ RItAXT? Was the Flax Inspector Appointed by the 31iuiu>auoli* Hoard of Trade. Tarns Bixby. Esq., Secretary Railroad and Warehouse Commission. St. Paul. Minn.— Sir: For the information of the public generally, and citizens of Minnesota and Dakota who are inter ested in tlax seed shipments to the .Mm neauolis market, will you inform us through the I>\llY Globe on what authority the Minneapolis board of trade has appointed an iuspector of flax seed, and adopted different rules for inspcc. tion than those promulgated by our ate authorities? The appointment of this tlax seed inspector by the board ol trade seems lo be in eouflict with chap ter 144 of the general laws of Minne* sota; approved March 5, 1885. and hw Inspections ol seeds are also in conflict with ttie state inspections. On the same car loads of seed a difference as high assfi percent can be ehed.wherein this board of trade official has inspected the same car of Beed, above state in spection; that is. he finds >■.. per cent mure dirt, tor which deduction is made, to arrive at the net bus>l»els of pure seed m a car, than the state in spector does. On an average ear load tins extra s-., percent deduction for dirt amouts to a loss ol 155 to the the i>hlo|«r. at present prices of seed. This law of Mar. 5, 1885, very clearly makes your commission the enard'.an of giaiii inspections. It appoints a chief inspector, and thechiei appoints deputies subject to the approval <>f the commission. Moreover, ail inspectors are required to take an oath of nfbre, aud irive bond in the penal sum of ft.ooo to the Mate to faithfully and imparti ally perfora the duties «>f their office. As the enforcement of toe inspection Jaw rests with your commission. I beg to inquire: First Has the Board of Trade any right or authority whatever to appoint an inspector of tlax seed) Second," if it has not, under section thirty of the chapter quoted, should he not be held to Iw an impostor? I turd. if the Board of Trade has power to ap- j point him. has it bound him by a similar oatn nt office ami bond as >t;ite inspe t ors are bound, lor a faithful and im partial performance of his trust? Will your kin-lly favor us with the views of the commission upon the questions raised. Very truly yoais, B. F. Pahtkidge, Fergus Falls, Dec 24. MERRY ST.

Outlaw Brewer and His Fol lowers Hemped by Armed Men. Two of the Murderers Who Were Jailed Shot by Vigilantes. No Further Trouble Expected Unless the Leaders Are Caught. Sava\xaii, Ga., Dec. 88. — The trouble at Jessnp yesterday begun at 10 a. in., flrben Chief Marsli.il Lettcett and assistants attempted to arre>t Bob Brewer, the notorious outlaw anil fugi tive. Brewer raised his sun to Ins shoulder, anil deliberately shot down Assistant Marshal BarnhUt, killins him instantly. The chief marshal then fired on Brewer, but missed him. Brewer re turned the lire, and shot Leggett throosh both legs. Brewer and his crowd of ten or twelve- men then tied to the McMillan swamp, a lew yards away. The report of guns threw the town into a whirlwind of excitement, and the ne groes were followed into the swamp by several citizens. Among them were William Wood, a carpenter, and his son, William Wood, wiio is on a visit from Ridceiand, S. C, to his father. The ne groes dodced into the swamp, and when young Wood ran in behind them Brew er rose up and shot him through the head, killing him instantly, lie then shot Wood's fathor in the face. Accom plishing this much, the negroes ran further into the swamp and escaped. The. news of the deatli of young Wnod and the serious shooting ot his father BPBBAO LIKK WILDFIKK over the town. Confusion reigned for a lime and Jessup seemed to be in the hands of a violent mob. Mayor llopps called a meeting and hasty arrange ments were made to protect the town. Seventy-live armed men were gathered in a few minutes and followed Brewer and his party a distance into the swamp. McMillan bay covers over 400 acres, and Brewer is so fannliar with its hiding places that the efforts of the posse to locate him in the swamp were regarded as in vain. The strength of the posse was increased by at least twenty-five armed men before an hour had elapsed, and a picket lin j was formed on the east siue so as to prohibit anybody from coming out of the swamp to the town. Brewer i;> thoroughly familiar with the bay. having been skulking around and brains there, Bshinc and hunting for a number of months. Brewer had threat ened the life ol assistant Marshal Barn hill since the officers killed one of Brew er's pals a tew weeks ago, while at tempting to arrest the colored man for gambling. Yesterday was Brewer's chance, and he took advantage of the opportunity when the assistant officer came unarmed to the side of Chief Mar shal L-ggett. wlio was making the ar rest. Brewer seemed to forget for the moment that anybody was nrrnro to captuke him, and he shot Barnhill down as he would a dog. Marshal Leggett. who is badly wounded in both less, was seen about the affair in his home last night. He said that when he went up to arrest Brewer he knew that he had a bad man to fool with. He wanted a torce large enough to take the desperado. '"When 1 got near him," the chief marshal said, "and he saw who I was. he left two of my posse, who were talking with him, and came toward me. I beard him say that is the rascal 1 want, and stepped behind Mr. Reddish. He k< pt coining and 1 threw niy trim to my face and told him to stop. He looked at me sullenly and put the gun across his shoulder and started back. He thought that I would return to town and get assistance. When ] met an old man named Rerttish and several others, all of whom had guns, I turned round to see what they were going to do, and saw Red fish exchange a 33-caliber Winchester for a 32-ca liber, and make threats and curse the whole people. 1 knew we were in for it, so I waited, and had not long to wait when 1 saw Brewer throw his gun to his shoulder and fire. 1 looked around and saw my assistant fall to the ground, and knew he was fatally wounded. I then returned the fire, shooting at Brewer. He turned the gun on me and wounded me at the first shot. 1 discharged both barrels of my gun and knew I was done, jumped down an embankment AM) BAH FOX LIFE. Mr. Redtish stood, and Brewer ap proached, saying: 'D— n you, 1 have a great mind to kill you.' He struck him and took th« gun from him." News reached the authorities tnat J. \V. Ryan, a white man living there, was the instigator of the affray. A posse was sent to his home to arrest him, but Ryan had made his escape. The men are on the lookout for him. It is said that he put the Iwui idea into Brewer's head about tne duty of the white people to the colored folks, and report says that he excited them by saying that the murder of the colored man killed by Barnhill should be aVenged. Henry Anderson, one of the guards put over Ryan's house, was accidentally shot and killed last night by one of his own party. He came over to Capt. Gordon's headquarters for reinforcements, and was going back when a gun held by Townsend, one of his party, was dis charged, blowing Anderson's brains out. Anderson was formerly the hotel proprietor here, but of late has been with the Central railroad of JSlacon. Last night a colored man was shot by a picket while coming from the McMillan swamp, lie attempted to slip by the officer, when he was shot. The ball took effect in the right breast, but the wound is not fatal. It is believed tnat he was acting as a spy. At about 3 o'clock this morning a party of unknown men attacked the jail at .lessup. driving away the guards. In a few minutes the doors were battered in and four men went inside and shot and killed Peter Johnson and Bill llopps. The former was the man who haa been wounded ami CAPTTRKD IX THK FIGTTT. The niilitary were stationed about a half mile from the jail, but by the time a detachment arrived there everything was quiet, and all that there was to in dicate what had happened were the bodied of the dead negroes. The com mander of the military had suggested to the mayor that a detail of soldiers should be put "on duty at the jail, but the latter said the sheriff and his depu ties would protect the prisoners. The Georgia hussars, dismounted, the company ordered to the scene of the trouble by the governor, returned to this city this afternoon. The Bruns wick company was retained on duty by the mayor. The returned soldiers re ported the trouble over. Their pres ence *vas only required to quiet the ex citement of the citizens of Jessun. who remained in their houses last niirht to protect their families, and their kitch ens and outhouses were filled with col ored people of the town who sought the protection of their white friends. Mayor Hobbs has called a public meet ing to take steps to defend the town to night. It is believed that Brewer i? near here with a large force of negroes. The citizens are ORGANIZING AND ARMIVO to aid the Brunswick rifles in case of an outbreak. A special train was run out to the brick yards, where Brewer is re ported to have been seen, and a detach ment of armed men sent out as scouts. Mayor Hobbs is in receipt of a telegram from Brunswick, saying that Ryan, the white man who is supposed to have in stigated the trouble, is In that city, but the mayor will not take steps to have Kyan brought back.

The eoronor held an inquest this atternoosi and the jury re turned a verdict charging the negroes Brewer and KatTord witli the murder of .Marshal Barnhill and young Woods. As to the killing of tho negroes in jail, the jury returned a verdict of s doath by parties unknown. ' Sav.wwh, Ga., l>ee. W.— Tho most reliable information is that ten persons have been killed at Jessup, namely: BarnhiU and Woods, by Brewer; An derson (wnite), accidentally; Johnson and Hoops, in jail; Fluett, on the street (colored), and two whites and two lie- groes whose names are not given. JKALOIS WITHOUT CAUSE. A Massachusetts Crank Kills His \\ ife anil Attempts Suicide. SrmxGFiKi.n, Mass., Dec. — A most revolting crime was committed this morning at Ludlow, John Bassett, a mill hand employed by tho Ludlow Manufacturing company, killing his wife and attempting suicide. Bassett was insanely jealous of his wife, and, so far as known, without reason, and had frequently threatened her life, though little attention was paid to his talk. lie bought a revolver a few weeks ago with the avowed purpose of killing her, and set her Sunday bonnet up on a pole as a target, shooting it to pieces and closing his performance with the remark that he wished her head was In it. At 3 o'clock this morn ing he called to his eldest son Horace to come down stairs and sit with his mother who was sick, while ho went for the doctor an(f then went out while the young man went down and sat in the kitchen. His parents slept in a room off the kitchen. He called his mother once or twice, but as she did not answer, he supposed she was sleeping, and did not enter the room. Meanwhile llassitt had gone to Officer Trombly's house and surrendered himself, saying that he had killed his wifeand evincing much satisfaction with his crime. He said he was suffering from wounds she had inflicted on him, but said he had "finished her up in good shape." On examination six wounds were found, two stabs near the heart, two in the left side, and two deep, jagged gashes over the stomach, from which be has little, if any. chance of recovery. Leav ing him in a doctor's hands, the officer went to Bassett's house, where he found the son waiting for the doctor. Telling him of his father's confes sion and arrest, they entered tho bed room and found the woman. Sophie Bas sett, lying in an easy posture, on her left si.te, the right side of her head crushed in and blood and brains oozing from nose, ears and mouth, with the violence of the blow. There was no sign of a struggle and everything showed that the blow must have been given while she was asleep. An axe was found in tho cellar, stained with blood. There was no sign of blood from Bassett's wounds, ana as his cloth ing was not cut, it is thought that he raised his clothing and inflicted them while on the street. The woman was a dressmaker, aged about forty-thr«e, would weigh over 200 and was well spoken. Her husband was from St. Johns, P. Q., and was forty-three years old. He was not drunk when he com mitted the crime. They had six chil dren, two sons and four (laughters, all grown up. SI tigged and Mobbed.
