V^l I EVERY DAY THAT I .\J XJ YOUR I ACE 1 ADV IS not LUgb oX'S, MONEY VOL. XIII. rEUTONS IN FORGE, Sreat Display Given by Active Turners at the Fair Grounds. The Official Results of Com petitions Withheld Un til To-Day. tfarket Hall Crowded to the Doors at the Ball Last Evening*. Actives Will To -Day Join the Passives in a Convivial Wind-Up. ' The active exercises of the Turnkreis tame to an end last night. '1 here only remains the awarding of prizes to-day, and a successful meeting will come to a close. The "actives" may now enjoy privileges that have only been enjoyed by the passives, their friends and the thousands of citizens of the Twin Cities who have atteneed the exercises. It has been to the latter four days of de light, while to the actives it has been four days of exceedingly hard work. Pleasurable work it has been, however, and the enjoyment has approached the limit. To-day will be entirely given up to amenities, as will be noted in the pro gramme which appears in another place. It was an ideal day for turning. The sun. while bright, was not scorching, and a refreshing breeze "prevailed throughout the day. The attendance, however, was scarcely that which In spires men to utmost physical and skilled feats. Yet there was a fairly large audience, and the increased interest and enthusiasm nearly compensated for the lack of numbers. The abominable street car service mil itated seriously against a large attend ance. The people who had been victims of the series of accidents on the street car line the previous day were chary aliout placing themselves in n like predicament yesterday. And there were no railroad tacilltles. The trains that did go between the fair grounds and the city were decidedly wayward, and lung waits were necessi tated at either end of the line. Yet BOine three thousand braved these an noyances to witness the most interesting event of the sort ever ottered in the state, and this number might easily have been swelled to from 10,000 to 520,"- DOO from the two cities, had the street cars afforded proper transportation fa cilities. This is the concensus of opin ion, and expressions of that trend were heard on every hand, both in town and at the fair mounds yesterday. To the average people, those not fa miliar with the technique of turning calesthenics, yesterday's was the most most Interesting vi'^gramme qt the meeting. It was devoted to individual contests, and it was of a more diversi fied character than on the previous day. There were turning on the horizontal bars, on the parallel bars, putting the Btoue, jumping in the various styles, wrestling, climbing and vaulting. There is an array that should find Borne feature that should please anyone, and the enthusiam with which each suc ceeding event was greeted bore testi mony to the fact that they all pleased the crowd. The general regret is that the turnkreist is so soon over. All awakened interest has been cre ated by the meeting, and it is perfectly $afe to predict that the societies of Min nesota will now be imbued with new life and energy and that the member ship of "actives" will be multiplied in the near future. It has been shown that the Minnesota boys are in it with their Eastern brothers in feats of agility, skill, endurance and brawn. Some of the best prizes stay right here in the two cities. There is William Miller, of St. Paul, for illustration, who won the long high jump; Adolph Stain witz who defeated everybody in putting the shot and in the hop, skip and jump, and William Buscher, of St. Paul, who threw everybody who contested him in Grpeco-liOinan wrestling. How many more Minnesota champions the Turn krist has brought out nothing but the final award to-day will reveal, for the judges absolutely refuse to give any in formation on that point. SOME GREAT SPORT. Individual Competitions Keenly Contested. The day's events were opened by mis cellaneous apparatus turning promptly at 7 o'clock. The .yarallel and the hori zontal bars, the horses with saddles and the horses without saddles. These ex ercises occupied the time up to 10 o'clock. Then began the contests in putting the thirty-five-pound shot, lift ing weights and the running long jumps. The jumping was a disappointment to the contestants and to their admirers. It required a long time for the Individual participants to complete the affair. William Koecke, of the South Side Turn pern of Chicago, cleared 19 feet, 5 Inches and the record stood unchallenged to the end, although there were many who had anticipated leaping over 20 feet. John >iuerenberg, the stalwart repre sentative of the Lincoln society of Chi cago, was a trifle too good for the field In putting the thirty-five pound shot, lie cast it twenty feet and six inches. Henry Kuntz. of the North side, Mil waukee, is much lighter than many of his rivals. He is a slender, young ath lete, but wiry and nervy. He out classed all competitors in handling the 100-pound dumb-bell. lie put it up twenty-four times, and his feat had every appearance of fairness 'to the spectators, although a kick was formu lated by the others. He suffered with a very sore foot, the result of his work in the jumping events. This fact pre vented him from Standing: Squarely on the ground, as the rules prescribe, aud the claim of foul went to the judges to decide. When the reporter asked one of these gentlemen for an opinion in the premises he refused to give even a hint. Should the foul be allowed the prize will go to John Nuerenberg, of Chicago, who put up the weight twenty one times, or three less manipulations than the Turner from the Cream City. The friends of each are loud in their declarations for the rights of their re spective favorite, and a wrangle may " ensue at the awarding of prizes to-day. The spert was resumed after dinner promptly at 2 o'clock. Then popular turning was again taken up. The run ning long jump was finished, but the records just given were not disturbed. This was followed by the hop, skip and jump, as it is kuown in ti.-e technique of Turner parlance. These were .hot contests. Several hundred participated, and the result hung In the balance until the very finale. AH the favorites were there, but many of them were not in the ' best possible shape.' Boll)" were lame from the coon's of U-G previous day, 5/0,0. some were suf Daily ST. PAUL Globe. feting from colds. Consequently no records were eclipsed, although the ad mirers of several had prophesied such occurrence before the sun should set. There \yerc several favorites for the hop, Bkipaod jump, a popular feature in the societies. There were Adolph Stamwitz, who had a strong following among his fellow-townsmen from Min neapolis, Ray Dreyer, of the Chicago Turngemiende; E. Gutz and Charley Hibbler. of the same society. The two latter were practically out of it, however. They were too sore to do themselves credit. William Miller, of St. Paul, also had considerable back ing. He haa shown himself A Phenomenal jumper, and the St. Paul boys had In timated that he was fortified with a set of wings and could fly. But he was content in showing his wonderful prow ess in another event. The Minneapolis boy was there, and he outranked everythiner. It was no walk-over though. He was closely fol lowed by the Chicago lad. Ray Dreyer. Stanwitz's record was thirty-nine feet and four inches, while Dreyer covered a distance of just one inch less. This was close enough to lend zest to the ex citement All the others trailed away behind. Dreyer has a record of forty feet. St. Paul wins the proud honor of de feating them all in the long distance high jump. The people of this city had pinned their hope, as was stated in these columns yesterday, to this young athlete's amazing ability, and when he was seen at the end of the stretch ready to make the effort of his life the ap plause was general. He cleaied the marks easily from the low pole and short distance. He leaps with such grace and without apparent effort that he challenged the admiration of his rivals, and they joined spontaneously in the applause, and urged him on to greater feats. The poles were removed from distance to distance until the mark was 'J feet and 0 inches from the end of the board from which the leap was made, and the wooden strip over which he was to jump was 48 inches from the ground. It was con sidered a great jump, considering the fact that the participants had been most constantly working from 7 o'clock in the morning, and it was now after 4 o'clock In the afternoon, and also con sidering the storm of the previous day. Miller Leaped Several Inelien higher than the rod, while the jumpers, one after another, tried in vain to reach the goal. There were some, however, who were equal to the emergency. These were Adolph Stamwitz, of Minne apolis, and Charles G. Boening, of the Lincolns, of Chicago. Then the poles were placed ten feet away and the mark raised to fifty-four indies. There was but one who could make this won derful leap, and lie was Miller. He covered it with such ease that his friends spurred him to a crowning ef fort. The mark was raised, but he failed, and ho then declined to exert himself further. It was remarked inci dentally by some of the Turners that Miller's last feat did not score him any further points in the all-around contest. The utmost is ten points, and this score was accorded both Stamwitz and Boehn inir. Climbing the rope was a most se vere test of the muscles of the arms. The brawny Turners competed in this event for two loug hours. Up and up they went like squirrels in a beechnut tree. The rules govnreintr the sport are rigid. The performeT must pull himself up by sheer strength |and brawn, without such assistance as can be trained by kicking the legs and wriggling the body. When absolute exhaustion over takes the climber he stops and the measurement is taken. This Is done in an unique way. The end of a tape line is pinned to the ankle of his stocking and the judge on the ground holds the other end. The exercise cre ated a great deal of excitement and field a large crowd enthusiastically at the loot of the tall telegraph pole, from the top of which extended the tree holding the rope. There were a large number that found they Could Not Reaeli a distance of 25 to 30 feet in their ex hausted condition after participating in the other events. Finally along came Ernest Kullman, a lad of eight een years, who represents the North side of Milwaukee. His youthfuluess prevented any of the others from feeling any alarm until he had swiftly passed the record made by all the others that had preceded him. Then a murmur of amazement went up from a thousand spectators. "He'll go to the very top." cried an enthusiast from the grand stand, but his prophesy was not verified. Kullman's youthful ardor be gan to cooi as his strength began to desert him as the cross tree seemed within his very reach, and suddenly he stopped, giving up all hope of going further. The distance was measured and he came down. He had climbed 43 feet and •; inches. "Is that all?" he asked when told the fact, and a look of disappointment crossed his face. '•! should have gone fifty feet to have been safe. I will be beaten." "No you won't, Ernest," replied a score of friends. "The boys have all exerted themselves too much to come up to that. See if we arn't right," said another. But the instructor, Prof. Walter, of the North side, however, shook his head and said : "Xo, Ernest, you haven't beaten them all. There are two others who will beat that." After a number of futile attempts made by others, Julius Strass Stepped to the Foot of the pole and the tape measure was pinned to his ankle. A look of confi dence beamed from his eye as he looked up to the cross-tree. Up he sped with astonishing agility. Up to Kullman's mark and past it. The audience cheered wildly, but the enthusiasm seemed to unnerve the athlete and he stopped at 40 feet. "There is just one man I'm afraid of," he remarked to a friend as the tape was loosed from his foot. "He will go up in a minute. He climbs like achimpan/.ie. There he comes," and Alfred Schiller, of the Milwaukee Turngmiende, took Strass' place and prepared for the ascent. His arms had been bared for the effort, and the muscles of steel stood out from the sunburned flesh like huge ropes. But he failed to get there. When he had crossed the forty-foot mark he looked distressed, but he pulled bravely away until he had reached within Strass' mark. Of course it was purely a matter of guess to him as to the heighth he had attained, and when he came down he seemed sur prised. "I thought I had gone further than the others," was ali he said. He has a record of 47 feet 0 inches. Then came on the wrestling at 6 o'clock. The contestants were divided off into two classes. The heavyweights were : John Nuereraberg, of the Lincoln society, Chicago; weight. lU2 pounds; Rudolph Aven, of the South side, Mil waukee, 17 ( J pounds; George Katz, of the South side, Chicago, IC3 pounds; Max Krueeer, of the Chicago Social, 16$ pounds; Henry Kuntz, of Milwaukee North sides, 100 pouuds. The event, after » ' T jfhe First Fall took place in the grass some distance out into the race-course field. The first bout was had on tliesand at the extreme edge of the square, but the contestants agreed that they would rather wrestle on the turf. So ne of the oider sports protested and urged that the change would be unwise, because any one would be liable to slip aud throw him self. This fact was afterwards veri fied. The wrestling, to the American spec tators, was really the event of the entire fest. This was a feature of sports with which they had become familiar through the exhibitions and matches given in halls and places of amusement by pro fessional gladiators the past six or eight years. The style was called Grseco- Roman, although it materially differs from it. For illustration, in the genu ine Grjeco-Roman style of wrestling, a fall con only be scored by putting down two points, and those two points must be either the two shoulders, the two hips, or a hip and a shoulder. The Turner rulesjprescribe that any two points of the body touching the ground is a fall. For instance, the same as is the ordinary custom, or if the Front of* the Body is forced down. The first bout was be tween Neuerenbertr and Arena, and it was a good contest, won by the former. Then the crowd followed the gladiators to the grass plot, where the subsequent events took place. Krueger threw Katz in a trice, and then Kuntz and Nueren berg had a battle royal. The former is much the heavier and apparently the stronger, but the Milwaukee lad has plenty of nerve and skill. Nucrenberg went after his man with great energy and the fight was fast and furious for live minutes. Nuerenberg forced the other through the crowd and out into the field in a vain endeavor to gain an advantage. Finally, with one supreme effort Kuntz bent over as if about to go down beneath an overpowering force he caught Nue renberg off his guard and gave him a hip and ring lock that brought him to the ground with violence. Arens had little difficulty iv flooring Katz, making two defeats for the latter, and he was then out of the strife. Then came a desperate struggle between Krueger and Kuntz. Each liad won a fall, and felt perfectly confident of victory. They were wary, but finally came together like two battering-rams.aiKt Kuntz went down. He claimed a foul, however, saying that Krueger had tripped him. To the sueetators it looked as though Kuntz hud slipped on the grass, but the judges, despite Krueger' s protest, al lowed the fall, and ordered the two to proceed to a finish. That is, they said it was no fall. After A Protracted Tus*le Krueger won the bout. Tnen Nueren berg and Krueger were ordered up, but Krueger kicked because he had not been given time to recover himself from the last struggle. A council resulted in giving the man time for hreathi Dg. but Nuerenberg then said he had been hurt, and he withdrew. This left the final bout between Kroeger, who had wou every fall, and Kuntz, who had lost one. They fought long and hard, but the Chicaso boy was victorious. The lightweights had their battles on the gravel of the square. They chose a Bandy point where the earth was not packed hard. They weighed in as fol lows : Charles Heller, Milwaukee, 138 pounds; Henry Heller, Milwaukee, 134 pounds; William Busche, St. Paul, 148 pounds; William Erhart, West Minne apolis, 188 pounds; Fritz Webber, Schweitzer, Chicago, 142 pounds. These coutests passed off much quicker than was the case with the heavyweights. The ball was set in motiou by Busche and Webber, and the former won. Then Erhart threw Henry Heller, Busche threw Charles Heller. Henry Heller threw Webber, Charles Heller threw Erhart, Henry was thrown by Busche, Erhart threw Webber, Charles Heller threw Henry Heller, and the final bout was between the St. Paul lad and Er hart. The former won handily. It wiis a walk-over for him. He tumbled every one that confronted him with amazing ease. In the heavyweights Krueger won first place, Kuntz second, and Arms third, owing to Nuerentjerg's with drawing. In the lightweights Busche won first, Charles Heller second and Erhart third. During the wrestling contests, the pole vaulting was in progress. It is an attractive sport, and elicted considera ble enthusiasm. R. Staab. of the South side, Chicago, outclassed the others. He leaped 'J feet ana 2 inches. The next nearest competitor was nenry Hess, of the Chicago Turngemeinde, who vaulted S feet 6 inches. This con cluded the exercises. TURNERS AT THE BALL. A Brilliant Throng Crowds the Old Market Hall. The largest crowd ever gathered in Market hall was that seen there last evening. It was the occasion of the grand ball, participated in by all the so cieties of the Turnfest. There were fully 1,000 people on the floor at 10 o'clock, and the dance was in full prog ress. The ball room was handsomely decorated and brilliantly liehted. Fes toons of evergreens" were hung across the entire floor, and crossed by others running at right angles. There was bunting everywhere. The red, white and blue intertwined with the red, black and white at every turn. The stars and stripes predominated every where, though not a dozen people in the whole vast throng on that floor were speaking the language of the country. It is remarkable how quickly all these people have become known to each other. All the Milwaukee visitors seem to know every one of the ( JOO from Chi caffo, and the Chicagoans are hail fel lows well met with the fellows from Winona, New Ujm and other points. There is not a stranger in the lot after two days of association with each other. The music was by Seibert's band, and very good music it was. The ball was, without doubt, one of the most enjoya ble features of the fest. LADIES TO THE FORE. Their Calisthenic Drill Created Quite a Furor. As was expected, the calisthenics by the ladies proved the prettiest and most attractive feature of the day. Attired in the regimental costume, they marched to martial music out upon the square, each young lady bearing a pair of Indian clubs. They came iv ranks of fours, and iv two columns. One column came the ground from the east and the other from the west, and filing towards the north, after a few military maneu vers, were arranged in a solid mass in open order. Then the band struck up a pretty selection and the calisthenics ■were completed. The audience ap piauded enthusiastically at every pause in the performance, and when the ladies marched off the square the applause amounted to a perfect ovation. TheWJml-Up. The programme for to-day is a brief chapter in the sense of events numer ically. The day will be devoted to pleasure entirely. This morning an ex cursion will be taken to White Bear lake where the festivities will be of.a general character. At 2 p. m. prize swimming will occur at the pavilion, and the distribution of prizes will fol low. The evening will also be spent at the lake. Among the features will be a grand pyrqtechnical display on the lake, and other festivities, and such merry making as only Germans can appreciate iv the fullest. ST. PAUL, MINN., TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 23, JB9l. ROYAL COURIER LOST. A Messenger to the Czar Be comes Dead to the World at Denver. The Alleged Real Animus of the Late Attack of the Czarewitch. Startling Facts as to Balma ceda's Autocratic Doings in Chili. Account of the Naval Fight in Which the Encalado Was Sunk. Chicago, June 22.— A royal messen ger, bearing important dispatches sent from Tokio by the czarewitch to the czar of Russia, has mysteriously disap peared, it is said, while en route from San Francisco to New York. The fact has been kept a secret, and it is not cer tain that the Russian government is yet aware of it. G. N'aterman, a member of the firm of Grosser «fc Co., of Yoko hama aud London, was on the same Pa cific Mail steamship which brought the messenger to this couutry. and told ot the disappearance for the first time to day at the Palmer house, where he and a number of well-knowu German and English merchants of Japan and Chiaa reeistered on their way from Yokohama to Europe. According to Mr. Nater man's account, the messenger intended making no stops after leaving San Fran cisco for the East on the day of his ar rival there. Near Denver, however, a wreck delayed his train, and he stopped over night in that city, lie never Resumed the Journey and has not been since seen. There are many reasons causing his steamer ac quaintances to believe that the young Russian has met a violent death at the hands of Japanese enemies of the czar owitch. The most important of these is the hitherto unpublished truth regard in? the attack upon the life of the czar ewitch. Mr. Naterman was in Tokio at the time, and states that ttie truth was never made known because it showed too plainly the vicious character of even the highest class of the Japanese peopie. The attack was not made, he says, be cause the Russian had desecrated a sacred temple. The czarewitch had ac cepted an invitation to visit a great noble at Tokio. On the way there he yielded to the Importunities of another nobie to visit him before . reaching ' Tokio. His host at the latter city re ceived this as an insult, and his desire for revenge stopped at nothing, it is al leged—not even the murder of his royal guest. An assassin was therefore hired to kill the czarewitch, and the resulting attempt was given to the world as the work of a religious fanatic. From every stopping place the czarewitch sends duplicate dispatches to his father by three trusted messengers, who take the most opposite routes. One of these, im mediately after the attempted assassina tion, was sent to St. Petersburg by way of the United : States. The theory ad vanced by Mr. Naterman ana his friends is that the authorities, in a weak at tempt at continuing the deception re- : garding tlie affair, have intercepted and put out of the way all ..the messengers supposed to bear news of the truth. THE CHILIAN DESPOT. A Travesty on a Republic Is Chili Rat Present. New York, June 22.— Many startling . facts in connection with the revolution now raging in Chili, which throw light upon the despotism of Balmaceda, are now given to the public for the lirst time. In Santiago, where his head quarters are, he has caused a cross of red to be painted on all the houses of people who he suspected are not wholly in sympathy with him. and into these marked residences his police and soldiers go at any time of day or night. The people m these houses are forbidden to lock their doors. No one is allowed to ride on horseback through the streets after 5 o'clock in the afternoon : no three persons are al lowed to walk the streets in company at any time of the day; no two persons can stand and converse on the street. It is a veritable reign of terror for all who either through fear or interest have failed to cast their fortunes with Balmaceda. A New York gentleman saw a horrible punishment meted out to a Chilian who had been. overheard to say that he was willing to work his hands off for the revolutionists. The poor fellow's hands were placed on a block and his fingers pounded to a jelly by a big mallet in the hands of a soldier. He was then told that he could go and work his hands any way he wanted to and for any one. The generals of Balmaceda's army. as well as the principal officers, are said . to be superfor in military training to those of the revolutionists' forces. One of the most prominent leaders of the' revolutionists, Don Pedro Montt, i 3 said to be on board the Pacific mail steamship City of Paris, which will ar rive here June 24. It is said he comes to confer with the authorities at Wash-" ington looking toward their recognition of the revolutionists. A rumor was also current in Spanish circles yester day that the European agents of the revolutionists had paid the balance of the contract money due on the two cruisers that have just been finished for the Chilian eovermnent, and have loaded and dispatched the vessels to Chili, where they will fight against Balmaceda. ' STOOD BY THEIR GUNS. The Insurgent Cruiser Went Down With Colors Flying. Sax Fra.xcisco, June 22.— Capt F. B. Nesmith has arrived in this city after a stay of eight months In Chill. He 1 was an eye witness of the battle be tween the insurgent cruiser Blanco En calado and the government torpedo boats. He was on the British schooner Sophie May, which was anchored 500 yards from the Eucalado, and thus ob tained a good view of the fight. The government vessels entered the harbor of Coldero, where the Encalado was at anchor, early^on the morning of April 23. ■; When within 200 yards of the insurgent ship the ■ Condell fired two torpedoes, but both missed. The Lynch then fired two torpedoes at : a distance of 100 yards, which also went : wide of their mark. For neatly an hour the vessels kept up an incessant can nonade without using any more torpe does, and the government vessels got the worst of it. -During this time the insurgent transport Aconcagua entered the harbor and joined the fight. It looked as if the two torpedo boats would be defeated, when finally the Lynch , made a rush, for the Encalada, When forty yards distant she fired a torpedo which struck the insurgent ship amid ships. A terrible explosion followed, and the Encalado immediately began to sink, but her guns kept on tiring, and one of her last shots demolished the Lynch's smokestack. Her officers at tempted to {jet out the boats, but within five minutes the vessel and 175 of her crew were drowned. m THE NEW YORK LIFE. Examination Begins at New York — -A Hungarian Suit. New York, June 22.— Michael Shan non, deputy superintendent of the state insurance department, and John S. Pat terson, the actuary of the department, began the examination of the affairs of trie New York Life Insurace company this morning. Dr. Tuck, the vice president, could not tell how lons the examination would take, but it would certainly.occupy a good deal of time. Mr. Beers, the president of the com pany, will sail for New York Wednesday the 24tti lust Dr. Tuck denied the re port that officers of the company had endeavored to induce the superintend ent of the state insurance department to postpone the investigation of the com pany's affairs until his return trom Eu rope. It was learned to-day that Bela Kan, a lawyer of Hungary, lias brought suit against the company in the courts of that country for the return of the premiums he had paid, plus the interest. This action, it is said, is based upon a law prohibiting mutual companies from doing business as joint stock concerns. The New York Life is reported to have tried to do this, aud registered in Isß6 as a share company, which it is not, and induced Bela Kan to insure his life on such representation. Dr. Tuck said that the difficulty in rela tion to the company not being a stock company had been settled. It arose through a mistake in the translation of the concession obtained from the Hungarian government. Papers, how ever, had been filed, and there was no longer any difficulty of the nature in dicated in the report as to the Beal Kan suit. So far as could be ascertained to day the reported organization of policy holders to secure an examination* of the company's affairs has not taken on any definite or concrete shape as yet. » — "OLD HUTCH" IN SIGHT. On the New York Exchange He Was a Curiosity. New York, June 22.— "01 d Hutch," as 13. P. Hutchison, Chicago's famous grain speculator, who is affectionately known in exchange circles throughout toe country, this morning-appeared on the floor of the produce exchange in this city for the first time in eight years. He wore the same cos tume that has for years made him a marked figure on the Chicago board of trade. He sat on the grain side of the room, with his chair tilted back, sur rounded by an ever-changing group of acquaintances, with a circle of curious grain and Hour men who had nexer seen him before forming a background to the .scene. Mr. Hutchinson said he expect ed to remain in the city for some time, " thtJncrh exactly how long he would not or could not say. He stated also, in answer to further inquiries, that he was operating in the market at the present time, but would give no further partic ulars except that he was a bull on grain and a bear on provisions. He is in good financial condition, he said, and in proof of this lie hauled out from the in ner depths ot one of his trousers pock ets a wallet containing some bills and several checks. .«»- VICTORIA WAS PRESENT.

The queen, the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Duke and Duch ess of Connaught and nearly TOO guests were present. The queen's presence at this cere mony was not so much that Miss Pon sonby was her goddaughter, but it was in order to publicly demonstrate the high esteem in which her majesty holds the ride's father, who has filled the positions of keeper of her majesty's privy purse and private secretary to her majesty. Sir Henry is also greatly en deared to the queen from the fact that he was equerry to the late Prince Al bert from 1856 to 1861, the year of the prince consort's death. — ■»» JEALOUSY RAMPANT. A Husband and Father Ends a Bad Work by Suicide. Beverly, Mass., June 22.— A horri ble crime was committed in Beverly to night. Warren A.

Found Guilty by a Coroner's Jury and Spirited Away to Avoid Lynching. In the Shadow of the Woods He Chokes His Child-Vic tim to Death, But Leaves a Tell-Tale Pipe Lying Beside the Life less Clay. Special to the Globe. Delano, June 22.— The coronet's jury in the case of the death of little Annie Urunder found that she was murdered Thursday, June IS near Montrose, by John Muzue. This was one of the most atrocious crimes ever committed in Wright or any other county. Circumstantial evidence against the prisoner, who was a neighbor of the murdered girl, a young man of about seventeen years of ags, was so strong that the jury felt bound to find a ver dict as above. The prisoner was removed from the hall where the inquest was held before the verdict was rendered, and started on his way to Buffalo, the county seat, by order of the county at torney. Sheriff Nugent and Deputy Herman Anderson were iv charge of the prisoner. The wildest excitement prevailed, but Montrose people are to be commended for keeping their heads and allowing the law to take its course, though it is reported some favoied lynching, and it undoubtedly would have occurred had not the prisoner been removed iv time. Detail* of lite Crime. Tho eleven-year-old daughter of Jo seph liruuder, of Montrose, was cruelly and brutally murdered and outraged and left in the woods by the assassin. The little girl had been attending school at Waverly, walking to and from school, and as she did not return home Thurs day evening her parents did not be come alarmed, as she had beeu in the habit of staying over night with friends at Waverly. Hut when Friday evening came and she did not come her parents feared something had happened, and a searching party was organized and hunted for her. Finally Saturday morning she was found in the woods south of the Great Northern track about a mile west of Montrose. When found she was bound hand and foot, and a cloth tied over her mouth and the ends brought back of her head and then forward again and fastened under her head. The cloth was drawn so tight that she was choked to death. She had lain in the woods from Thursday eveninsr until Saturday morning, as she was seen going home Thursday evening. A young man, Joseph Muzae, is under arrest for committing the hornule deed. The evi dence at the examination brought forth the fact that a pipe, which was found near where tin; crime was committed, belonged to the young man. Should stronger evidence be brought to bear on him he will undoubtedly be lynched, as the excitement at and in the vicinity of Montrose is intense, and nothing short of a necktie party will quench the thirst for punishment which burns in the citizens' hearts for one of the most horrible crimes which has ever oc curred within the boundary lines of Wright county.
