He is also short a new suit and $11.
Harrison met a stranger Tuesday night.
The latter told a hard luck story, and after
Harrison had shown the fellow around to

regaled him with liquid refreshments, he
asked him to so to his room on Washing

2 o'clock yesterday morning he awoke and
found his bedfellow missing. His new suit

not to be found. The stranger thoughtfully
had left Harrison his old clothes, which the

"Of course I was foolish to take in a strang

Harrison as his form vanished through the

Gov. Clough yesterday accepted the

expected, appointed John F. McGee as
his successor. Mr. McGee came to
Minneapolis from North Dakota ten
years ago, and beside the indorsement
of a larffe portion of the Hennepin.
county bar and all the judges of the
Minnesota supreme court, he was re
commended by the United States
judges in North and South Dakota.
Judge McGee has been the Minne
apolis attorney for the Great Western
railroad. He is also attorney for S. E.
Olson, and took a prominent part in
the department store fight last win-
tcr:
Mr. McGee has never taken a promi«
nc-nt part in politics, Gov. Clough hav
ing apparently decided that one politi
cal appointment to the bench was
sufficient. He is a Republican, but
has never held any political office.
Last year he took the stump for
Clough. He was born at Amboy, 111.,
Jan. 1, 1861. He Is not a college man,
but is a graduate of the Amboy high
school. After his graduation he read
law in his native town, and then went
to Clinton, where he entered the office
of Moore & Warner. In 1882 he was
admitted to practice In the supreme
court of Illinois, and the following
year he moved to North Dakota where
he lived until 1887, when he came to
Minneapolis and entered into partner
ship with Arthur H. Noyes, which
partnership was continued until 1889.
Since that time Mr. McGee has been
by himself. He is married and has
four children.
READY FOR HAUGAJS'S DEFENSE.
State Rests In the Trial of tiie Ex-
Treasurer.
The case of the state against Andrew
C. Haugan, opened yesterday morning
before Judge Elliott In the criminal
branch of the district court, with City
Comptroller Wallace G. Nye on the
witness stand.
The witness presented four ledgers,
stating that each one was used to keep
track of the different funds, in account
with the city treasurer, one for the
city, one for the park board, one for
the library board, and one for the
school board. He explained that these
books were checked up monthly with a
set of books kept in the office of the
treasurer, of which Richard Roach had
charge. Mr. Peterson offered the four
ledgers in evidence, and they were re
ceived under an objection by the de
fense.
Witness stated that he could tell from
the books the entire amount of money
coming into the hands o£ Haugan, as
city treasurer. They showed that in
the general ledger there was a shoAV
ing of a debit from R. Kortgaard, foi
mer treasurer, of $577,470.56. The total
from Jan. 6. 1893, to March 19, 1897, was
$12,971,908.78, making a total debit of
$13,549,379.34. There were warrants paid
out of $13,120,243.41, and money turned
over of 513.239.55, making a total credit
of $13,133,482.99. The total shortage in
this ledger was $415,896.35.
The witness was about to state the
status of the board of education ledger,
when the defense objected, because that
portion of the proof came under another
indictment. There was a lengthy argu
ment on the point, especially as to the
ownership, Mr. Nye insisting that the
city did not own the board funds. The
court sustained the objection, and the
evidence was confined to city money.
The sinking fund ledger showed money
turned over by Kortgaai^, $62,591.20; other
money received, $860,416.31, making a total
debit of $913,007.51. The credits were money
paid, $797,267.41; turned over to C. S. Hul
bert, $5,243.26, making a total credit of $02,
--510.67. The total deficit in the sinking fund
was $110,496-84. The library board ledger
showed no shortage, the accounts balancing
for that department.
"What Is the entire deficiency, exclusive of
the school board?" was asked.
"The aggregate is $526,393.19," was the re
ply of the man of figures.
This concluded the examination by the
state, and Mr. Nye took the witness. He
showed that the computation was fixed March
19. 18?7.
"Do you know that Mr. Haugan ever re
ceived any money from Kristian Kortgaard?"
asked Mr. Nye.
"No; I do not," was the reply.
It was the evident intent of the defense to
claim that while there was a shortage, of
$f>26.393.19, Kortgaard had in his hand a sum
greater than that, or $577,470.56. which it
could not be shown was ever paid Haugan.
The witness was asked if Haugan received
any salary aside from the amounts paid_his
office help, but the question was ruled out,
Richard Roach, the next witness had not
brought al the books that he had been or
dered to from the treasurer's office, and was
ordpred to do so at 2 o'clock.
Crty Treasurer Hulbert was telephoned for
and John J. Ankeny waß sworn. The witness
was employed by Mr. Haugan from 1893 to
the time of his resignation, as deputy city
treasurer. Ho kept the cash books and bank
books. The witness was present March ]9,
when Mr. Hagan and Mr. Hulbert were there
together, and identified a paper which was a
statement of the moneys due, which could
not be turned over to Mr. Hulbert. This
statement was shown to Mr. Haugan and
also to Mr. Hulbert. It showed the condition
of the funds in Mr. Haugan's hands at that
time, and was received as evidence over Mr.
Nye's objections.
"What was said then?" asked Mr. Peter-
"Well, the city attorney was present, and
Mx. McGee and the rest.l said that was the
amount due the city; that was all."
"I want to know what was said."
"Well, Mr. Haugan looked it over and said
we were ready to turn it over. The paper
was given Mr. Hulbert and he looked it
over. There was very little money there.
Mr. Hulbert said there was not enough, and
he couldn't receipt for it until it was all
given over. Mr. Haugan said that was all
he had."
Witness read the statement, which showed
the condition of the treasury at that time,
which has often been made public.
The largest aggregation of account books
ever brought into the court house was piled
in the court room in the afternoon, when
the hour arrived for commencing the trial.
Witness Ankeny testified that^the H. C.
Akeley note for $19,000 and the Robert
Pratt note of $1,500 were paid the persons
named In the city funds.
"How about the other notes?' asked Mr.
Peterson.
"They are in the same boat."
"How about these two certificates of de
posit on the Washington bank?'
"They are kept in the vault and checks on
other banks made to balance them."
"How rbout the two New York drafts for
$2,500 each?"
"They were purchased with city funds and
kept by Mr. Haugan, paid for in checks. 1 '
The witness was shown a number of ex
hibits, which he identified as a number of
notes held by Mr. Haugan, as follows:
Henry P. Brown, demand note for $25,000; H.
F. Brown, $15,000, demand note secured by
160 shares "of 6tock North American Tele
phone company; H. F. Brown, $7,500, de
mand note. The witness also read two
checks of a Malone, N. V., bank, to the order
of J. H. Field, Northern New York Rail
road company, indorsed by J. H. Field, for
$2,600 each.
"Why did you not present these checks
for payment?"
"I had no right to. They were carried as
cash and Mr. Haugan took the like amount
out of the city funds."
City Treasurer Hulbert was sworn and
took the stand. He took the office March 20
last.
"I bad a conversation with Mr. Haugan
that day," he said. "I had arranged per
sonally for making the transfer, and he -was
there. My attorney, Mr. McGee, Mr. Healey,
Mr. Ankeuy and the employes of the office
THE SABVT fADI ei/OBB: THURSDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1897.
were present at the time. I made a demand
for the funds — I asked to be put in possession
of the office and the funds. They said tUey
■were ready, and we proceeded to find the
amount of cash. The schedules were present
ed, showing what was claimed to be other as
sets belonging to the city. I offered to receive
the cash Items and receipt for them as soon
as the checks were honored. The rest I re
fused to receipt for. Mr. Haugan said In
reference to the other Items, the money was
tied up, as shown by the statement. I
am not certain of having any other talk with
him. Afterwards the city attorney said he
would like to have another demand made,
and I wrote a letter to him directed to Hot
Springs. I think you have that letter."
The missive was produced and read to the
Jury. It was simply a further demand for the
money short in the treasury. Haugan re
turned the same letter with his answer writ
ten on the back of it. This reply was short,
and stated that the writer could not comply,
because the funds were tied up in banks or
due from individuals.
"Later I had a talk with Mr. Haugan,"
caid the witness, "and said that I was In
structed to make a still further demand upon
him. He made the same reply to me that he
had written in the letter."
Witness Ankeny was recalled and asked
if it was a fact that the city had $25,000 in
the Bankers' Exchange bank. The witness
stated that he deposited at the banks, but
had never personally deposited any with the
Bankers' Exchange, although a pass book
-of that bank showed the account.
City Attorney Healy took the stand and
told of a conversation in which Mr. Hulbert
made a demand on Mr. Haugan for money.
It was at the meeting of March 20, when
Mr. Hulbert refused to receipt for a por
tion of the assets in the hands of Mr.
Haugan; these being the notes and checks
referred to.
"The state rests," said Mr. Peterson.
"The defendant moves to dismiss," said Mr.
Nye, "on the ground that the state has
failed to sustain the indictment by evidence,
and that the proof of ownership is required
by the indictment."
The court denied the motion. The case will
be resumed at 10 o'clock this morning, when
Mr. Deutch, a university student lately ad
mitted to the bar and Nye's law associate,
will open the case at some length.
TRIED THE CRIME OF CAIN.
Peter Nelson Attempts Unsuccess
fully toi lviil His Brother.
"I have shot my brother. YOU can
lock me up, shoot me or hang me; I
don't care which. I want to die."
With these words Peter E. Nelson
stepped into police headquarters last
night. The man was acting strangely
and at first but little attention was
paid to h*», muttered statements. After
some inquiry. Assistant Superintandent
of Police Suerfenning learned that Nel
son had attempted to kill his brother.
An officer was called and Nelson was
escorted to the central station where
he was locked up ard charged with as
sault with a dangerous weapon.
The victim of the assault is Andrew
H. Nelson, one of the proprietors of the
Crown Iron works. He lives at 2232
Lincoln street northeast, at the rear
of which the shooting occurred.
It seems almost a miracle that An
drew Nelson was not killed outright.
He received but a flesh wound in the
right arm below the elbow.
Had Peter Nelson accomplished his
avowed purpose, he would have mur
dered his brother and then taken his
own life.
Andrew Nelson, who is a well -known
resident of New Boston, reached homo
shortly before 7 o'clock last night. He
unhitched his horse, put him in the
barn at the rear of the house and then
fed him. Then he went outside to draw
in the buggy. After this had been done
he turned to leave the stable. The
barn was very dark and he did not
notice the presence of his brother. The
first intimation he had of anything
wrong was when he felt something
touching his hat. He raised his right
arm and was almost paralyzed to feel
the cold muzzle of a big revolver,
which had been pointed at his head.
He frantically pushed it aside and as
he did so, the trigger was pulled. The
bullet pierced the upraised arm and
came out under the elbow, inflicting
merely a flesh wound.
"I told you I would shoot you, arJ that
I would do it to your face. I have done it
at last," cried out Peter Nelson.
The wounded man, quick as lightning, grap
pled with his brother and wrenched away the
weapon. He was at the barn door and called
for help. Two men were standing at the
corner of Twenty-third avenue and Lincoln
street, but did not go to the aid of the
wounded man, evidently being frightened.
The members of the ■ family in the house
rushed out and in the meantime the assailant
disappeared and the wounded man retained
the weapon.
Officer John Vanrickley soon arrived on
the scene and took Nelson to Dr. Bachman's
office, where the wound was dressed. The
officer then began the search for the would
be murdered, but it proved of no avail. Peter
Nelson walked down Central avenue, and
when he arrived at the city hall gave him
self up. He said that he had loitered in the
vicinity of the barn and thjsn came down
town.
There is llttte doubt that the prisoner at
the central station is mentally incompetent.
His incoherent statements and his general
actions prove this beyond a doubt. Deputy
Coroner Nelson, who had a talk with Nelson,
said he thought the man was out of his
mind and fit for the asylum. His acquaint
ances say that he has acted in a queer
manner for a long time and, although he is
known to have threatened his brother, was
never considered dangerous.
"Yes. I shot my brother. I don't know If
I killed him," said the prisoner to a reporter.
"He had cheated me out of a large sum of
money; has abused me shamefully and I
wanted to kill him. I don't care what they
do with me. I want to die. I intended to
kill my brother and If he had fallen, then
I would have turned the revolver on myself
and put an end to my suffering. My life
has been one of sorrow and suffering. Now
I am destitute and my brother won't help
me. Why should I live? My brother has
been my enemy for fifteen years. I have
served him and helped him and he took my
money."
The story, as told by a friend of the wound
ed man, is that Peter has been more or le€3
mentally unbalanced for a long time and
for twenty years has threatened to kill his
brother. The trouble is said to have arise l
over a matter of finances. Peter loaned An
drew some money. Peter owned a piece of
land in Wisconsin on which there was a
mortgage. Peter asked for the return of the
loaned sum, which Andrew was unable to
advance at the time. Before he could return
what he had borrowed, the mortgage was
foreclosed and Peter lost his real estate. It
:s said that he has ever since blamed Andrew
for this loss and has imagined that he had
been cheated. This, the freinds say, is the
only trouble the two brothers have ever
had.
TALK OF THEIR WORK.
American Missionaries Listen to Re
ports From Various Fields.
The session of the A. M. A. yester
day morning was devoted almost
wholly to addresses by members of
the association from different parts of
the country. Inclement weather kept
away a good many delegates, but
there was a very fair representation
present when Rev. E. S. Williams, of
California, opened the session with a
short devotional service. The period
ol prayer, singing and testimony was
followed by the reading of the min
utes by the escretary. The regular
programme arranged for the morning
session was then taken up.
"Chinese Work" was the theme con
sidered 'by the Rev. G. Huntington,
LL. D., of Stillwater, Minn.
Rev. E. D. Eaton, of Beloit, Wis.,
spoke on Indian missions. "It has
been shown conclusively what the In
dian can become under the vitalizing
influence of the Gospel," said the
speaker. He earnestly referred to the
noble traits of character observed in
the educated Indian, whose teaching
has been along religious lines, and
said he believed there were yet im
mense possibilities in the Indian race.
AN UNFADING BLACK.
Three Special Diamond Blacks
That Will Not Fade, Crock, or
Wash Out.
No other dyes equal the fast Dia
mond Dye Blacks in making colors that
will not fade or grow dingy. There are
three different kinds, for wool, for cot
ton and mixed g-oods, and for silk and
feathers, and goods dyed with these
dyes can be washed in soapsuds with
out starting the colors. They will make
dresses, cloaks, suits, ribbons, feath
ers, stockings, etc., a rich, full black
that cannot be distinguished from new
goods. Do riot allow any dealer to
force upon you an imitation of Dia
mond Dyes, simply because he can
make a little more on it than he can
on the original Diamond Dyes.
The year's work among' iiis Indians
has been a distinctly successful JT!^
The number of churcheg has been in
creased by two. During the year
nearly $2,600 has been subscribed,
about $1,800 of this amount being for
missionary purposes. At the Indian
medical hospital at Ft. Yates, N. D.,
80(r Indians were treated during the
year by skilled physicansl.
Prof. F. B. Riggs, an instructor In
the Santee Normal Trainig school, Ne
braska, was next called to tire plat
form and gave the delegates *i inter
esting talk on the methods • ii{ vogue
in the educational institution«for in
structing the Indian youth. Mr.
Riggs' remarks were cordiaHy re
ceived. ■■ ■ v
After the singing of a familiar hymn
in which all joined with spirit, l Rev. L.
L. Taylor delivered an address' on the
work of the American Missionary as
sociation as a power for gftod. •*
Rev. A. R. Thian, D. D., of Chicago,
made an eloquent address with the
first line of Tennyson's' *In< Memor
iam" as his theme, "Strong' Son of
God, immortal love."
The afternoon session was : a little
behind time in beginning, l but by the
time the meeting was called to order
the church was full.
After a brief announcement as to
railroad certificates, President Dr.
Gates announced Rev. G. H. Patton,
of Pilgrim Congregational church, Du
luth, who spoke upon "Southern Edu
cational W T ork." Mr. Patton is the
son of the late Rev. W. W. Patton,
formerly president of Howard uni
versity, of Washington, D. C, for the
education of negroes, and was for a
time a student at that school.
He was, therefore, full of stories of
the ability and capacity of the negro,
and instances of its manifestation
among young men who had left How
ard university. He believed that th e
negro was made for something besides
industrial education, for which alone
many of the Southerners think him
lit.
He said that he was fit for higher
education and said it was the best
work the association was doing.
Secretary A. F. Beard, D. D., of New
York, spoke of "The Problem of the
Residum." He was followed by Rev.
E. G. Updike, D. D., of Wisconsin, in a
missionary address.
Rev. H. A. Bridgman, of Massa
chusetts, closed the session with an
address on the general work of the as
sociation.
The evening session was taken up
with missionary addresses by workers
from the various fields. Rev. Edwin
S. Williams, of California, presented
the work among the Chinese on the
coast. Rev. Francis Frazer, an Indian,
the work among the Indians of the
Northwest; Rev. C. W. Greene, that
among the mountain whites: Rev. O.
Faduma, of Troy, N. C, colored, pre
sented the claims of the woric among
the negroes of the southeastern coast
states. The event of the evening was
a paper read by W. E. Dubois, PH. D.,
of Pennsylvania, a colored graduate of
Fiske and Harvard universities, and a
writer of some note. He dwelt upon
many of the social problems affecting
the negroes and won for himself fre
quent applause. Dr. Dubois paper was
one of the ablest of the convention and
made a marked impression. Secretary
G. H. Guterson and Rev. J. E. Tuttle,
of Massachusetts, also delivered able
addresses. A rumor is afloat that Rev.
Dr. Merrill E. Gates will not accept the
presidency if tendered him for another
year.
SIXTY NEW FEVER CASES.
AH tiie Previous Records Broken at
New Orleans.
NEW ORLEANS, La., Oct. 20.-All
previous records as to the number of
new cases were broken today. Early
in the evening new cases had been en
tered in the books of the board. At
the same time there had been six
deaths. These had all occurred during
the early mornig hours, and it was
characteristic of the day's events that
although there had been .six deaths
reported up to 7 o'clock, not a single
one of them had occurred since noon:

like that of the entire week. It has
been cool and sultry during the night
and early mornigs, and especially
calculated to produce fatalities. Of
the deaths today two or three were
the results of poor treatment. The
most important death of the day was
that of Ira T. Britton. Mr. Britton
was the manger of the general elec
tric company here. He had come here
about a year ago from Columbus, O.
Taken down a few days ago, he had
been unable to rally, and this morning
he died. Pascal Magestrano, who said
he was from Kansas City, walked into
the Charity hospital last night and
said he was ill. A rapid diagnosis
showed that the man was suffering
from yellow fever. He was quickly
taken out to the isolation hospital, but
he had not been there many <hours be
fore he breathed his last. Among the
new cases today is a son of Judge
Monroe, of the First district court.
Today's deaths were: Ira J. Britton,
Lillian Murray, Mrs. Pierre Joundot,
Dela Moses, Pascal Magestrano, Theo
Perrovich.

MARTIAL LAW IN ALASKA.
Federal Government Determined to
Prevent Lawlessness.
CHICAGO, Oct. 20.— A special from
Washington says: President McKin
ley will issue an order placing a large
district in Alaska, of which St. Mich
aels' will be the center, under the con
trol of the military arm of the govern
ment. By this action the authorities
believe that the lawlessness feared as
a result of the rush of the gold seek
ers to the great Northwest territory
will be suppressed. The proposed
military district will be about 100
miles square. The determination to
issue the order was arrived at, it is
said, at a cabinet meeting. While no
official reports of anything but a
peaceful condition have reached the
department, private communications
from resDonsible parties have con
vinced the authorities that something
more was necessary than civilian rule.
The authorities say that offenses com
mitted within the boundaries of the
district to be described by the presi
dent in his order, will subject those
responsible to arrest by the military
and prosecution by civilian authori
ties before whom they will be brought.
The war department also proposes to
establish an army post on the Yukon
river, but this will not be done before
spring.

BLUE EARTH CITY, Minn., Oct.
20.— The greatest tragedy in the his
tory of Faribault county occurred this
morning shortly after 7 o'clock, at the
farm of George Young, about two miles
southeast of this village. Despondent
over unsuccessful business ventures
and smarting under some recent domes
tic troubles, Young seized a revolver
and shot his wife dead, the ball passing
through her temple and producing in
stant death. Running into a bedroom
where his two baby boys, two and
four years of age, were peacefully
Bleeping, he placed the weapon to the
head of first one and then the other
and killed them both, neither moving
after being shot. Young then went
into his sitting room, sat down in a
chair and fired a bullet into his own
brain, dying immediately. The whole
awful affair had been deliberately
planned. Young had written two let
ters, in one of which he stated what ha
was going to do, that he was entirely
responsible for the crime and direct
ing his hired man to notify the au
thorities and his relatives in Blue
Earth City. The other letter referred
entirely and somewhat bitterly to his
business reverses. Young had arrang
ed things so that he would not be dis
turbed by sending the hired man to
the barn to hitch up the driving team,
knowing that he could probably com
plete the tragedy before his man could
finish his work. The man heard the
shots and ran to the house, but on
reaching there found the whole family
lying dead, not one of them speaking
after he reached them. Young was
about thirty-five years of age and his
wife thirty. They appeared to be in
prosperous circumstances and seemed

to live happily together. They had
quite recently become members of the
Methodist church here. The coroner
of the county has taken charge of the
bodies and will hold an Inquest.
Young's relatives are disinclined to
talk about his affairs, but say they
know no reason why he should have
killed his family, expressing the belief
that he had become temporarily de
ranged from brooding over business re
verses.
Old Soldiers Protest.
HOT SPRINGS, S. D., Oct. 20.— 1f tne old
soldiers of South Daktoa have the'r way
there will be an official investigation of the
causes leading up to the discharge of A.
Mm Macumber from the state soldiers' home.
Macumber was removed from the home by
Commander Linn as the result of personal
differences. The discharged veteran, in a
statement concerning the difficulty, says that
a letter sent to him by Albert C. Hopkins,
of Canton, was probably opened and read by
i,lnn. After a heated controversy between
Macumber and Linn over this charge, the
former was handed his discharge from the
home. Hopkins, the writer of the letter
which caused trouble, was formally an inmate
of tji» soldiers' home, and while there roomed
with Macumber. They became warm fr.ends,
and have corresponded regularly. Hopkins
has on several occasions severely criticised
Commandant Linn through the state press.
and considerable enmity naturally existed
between them.
She Bluffed the Swindler*.
AUSTIN. Minn., Oct. 20.— Dexter township
Is a good deal excited over lightning rod
peddlers. A few days since some traveling
lightning men worked a prosperous German
farmer of Dexter for lightning for his fine
new barn. When he came to examine ji
duplicate of the contract he found that he
had signed a note for $150 for the wire. He
consulted a lawyer and was advised not to
allow the rod to be put on. Monday the
rod men came to put up the rod under the
contract, when the farmer's wife met th&m
with a loaded shotgun. She notified them
that the rod would not be accepted, as the
contract made with her husband was fraudu
lently obtained. Furthermore, she snapped
the gun in their faces, ready to fire, and de
manded the note or contract which they had
obtained from her husband. After a very
short parley they gave up the contract and
hastily left.
