News of the~Nortliwest I c PRISONER GIVES HIS NOTE TO COVER FINE IN POLICE COURT Red Lodge, Mont., Solomon Finds a Way Out of a Puz zling Difficulty and Saves the City Expense. Special to The Globe. RED LODGE, Mont, July 19.—Pecu liar innovations are often introduced here in the West, but the most pecu liar, perhaps, has been introduced by the police court judge of this city—ho fines a man on three different counts and then accepts a promissory note in payment of the fines. Charles Nodecker is the man who has given the note. He was arrested several days ago, first on a charge of carrying a revolver; then on a charge of using abusive language, and finally on a charge of contempt of court. When the prisoner was arraigned in court yesterday he" admitted he was guilty of all the charges, and said he v,as sorry he had broken the laws of the land. "I will fine you $5 on each charge," said the judge, as he entered the find ings on his blotter. "That won't do any good," replied Nodecker, with a half smile. "I have no money now, you know, and it will cost you something to keep me in jail. Better let me go." "Can't do that," said the judge, look- MINNEAPOLIS NEWS SLUGGEDANDROB6ED IN POLICE STATION Three Negroes Knock a Fellow Prisoner Down and Take His Money. Barney Erickson was knocked down and robbed in the central police station yesterday morning. The corridor of the cell room was the scene of the robbery and the three men who committed the crime were negroes who had been arrested for va grancy and allowed the privilege of the corridor. Erickson, who had been arrested oU the charge of drunkenness, sent for a messenger who was to see some friends and secure bail for him. He gave the boy a dollar and the youngster return ed seventy-five cents. The three men saw the transfer of the small change and when the messenger departed de scended upon Erickson and took what little money he had on his person. Erickson, the victim, was unable to defend himself, and in view of the fact that the three men who cpmmitted the crime were already behind the bars, the officials at the station decided to keep them there, but they are unable to de termine what charge shall be placed against the robbers. Walter Hudson, Charles Elliott and David Johnson are the names that were given by the three men. They were arrested Saturday night in a Second street saloon by Patrolman Ring. It is alleged they are the members of a gang which was seeking to start a general fight and the appearance of the polfce man who placed the three under ar rest had a deterrent effect upon the belligerent inclinations of others who were not arrested. Judge Holt will be asked to unravel the problem this morning. WANT SPECIAL CITY ELECTION. Business Men Favor a Separate Mv- nicipal Campaign. A large majority of the Minneapolis business men who have given the sub ject any consideration are opposed to the present system of electing, may ors, also aldermen and other city offi cials, on the tariff or other national issues. They believe municipal politics should be divorced from state and na tional affairs. Some of the "practical politicians" who are connected with the party now in the majority believe that special elections are inadvisable on account of the expense and disturb ance of business which follows. These same men inveighed against the primary election law, but the leg islature has refused to heed their de mands that it should be repealed. Although yesterday was Sunday, some forty votes upon the subject were received and with one exception they were in favor of a separation of the municipal elections from the state and national contests.

Mr. Clerk, draw- up a promissory note for $15, the amount of the three fines, which Mr. Nodecker will sign and deliver to the court." The note was drawn and signed and turned over to the judge, who thereup on entered an order granting liberty to the prisoner, who says he will pay the note when it falls due. OPEN HOME FOR OLD MEN.

Joseph Zeitzer, a laboring man living at 46 Tenth avenue north, died Satur day evening of heart trouble. Zeitzer had been sick about three weeks, but did not regard his condition as serious, and so neglected to call a doctor until a few days ago.

CROPS ALL OVER THE WORLD PROMISE TO GIVE BIG YIELD Reports to Washington From Foreign Statistical Agents In dicate Favorable Conditions in Grain-Producing Countries. WASHINGTON, D. C, July 19.— The foreign crop report of the depart ment of agriculture, just out, based on advices received by the foreign statis tical agent of the department at Lon don as late as July 1, is, in brief, as follows: In Russia meteorlogical con ditions have been in the highest degree favorable for the development of ce real crops in most parts of European Russia and harvest prospects are con siderably improved, even in regions where conditions at the beginning of spring were unfavorable. In Germany a great improvement in all the winter cereals, particularly in winter rye, has been shown the past month. The con dition of every crop in the middle of June is officially reported above me dium, though winter wheat, potatoes and lucern were considerably nearer to good than medium, and all the others are graded about midway between the two conditions. Only an approximate ly good medium harvest 6f the spring crops in Austria is to be counted on at best. Maize promises well there. In Hungary unless there is more improve ment before harvest, which is hardly expected this year, the out turn of the cereals will fall considerably below that of 1902, the deficiency in the case of wheat being 15 % per cent. Most of the Bulgarian crops are reported in very good condition. Storms and floods have caused extensive damage to crops and vineyards in Italy. In France the estimated area of winter wheat is 681,724 acres less than in 1902. A marked improvement in wheat and other crops occurred there during June and the crops now are doing well. Generally favorable re ports come from Denmark. In Great Britain the wheat crop is everywhere somewhat late and hardly can come up to an average yield. Advices to the de partment from the government of In dia estimate the total wheat crop har vested there in the spring of 1903 at 290,261,104 bushels against a yield of 226,370,890 bushels in the previous year. The final estimates of the department on the tobacco crop of 1902 in the Unit ed States are announced as follows: Acreage, 1,030,734; production, 821,823, --963 pounds; value, $57,563,510. WYOMING COWBOYS RESORT TO LYNCH LAW TO KILL THREE Continued From First Page Big Horn river, an unprecedented feat, and made for the mountains. A posse of seven men quietly organ ized and Gorman was recaptured early yesterday morning about fifty miles from Basin. Last night a mob of about fifty unmasked men rode up the east bank of the Big Horn and compelled the ferryman to carry them across the river. They made no demonstration until they entered Basin, when five shots were fired as a warning. The mob proceeded at once to the county jail and fired a volley into the jail. Deputy Pierce and Special Deputy Meade were guarding the prisoners at the time. One bullet grazed Meade's shoulder and entered Pierces heart. Victims Are Riddled. Members of the mob then tore up the telephone poles and battered the jail doors down. They first came to Wal ters, who was crouching in his cell piteously begging for mercy. No need less torture was resorted to. Walters was shot instantly. The mob next found Gorman, whose body was pierced by five bullets and he was left presum ably dead. He lingered, however, until this forenoon. A still more alarming state of af fairs is reported from the vicinity of Thermopolis. About six weeks ago, as a result of a range feud that has been so bitterly waged, a sheepman, Ben Minnick, was killed by cattlemen. The sheriff, it is .asserted, has captured the murderers, who are all prominent cat tlemen, and whose names have been withheld owing to threats made against the sheriff. Sheriff Fenton is unable to get his prisoners to Basin. It is said the same mob that lynched Gorman and Walters are sympathizers and have declared that Sheriff Fenton will never get out of the locality alive with his prisoner?. Sheriff Fenton has wired the govern or of Wyoming for permission to use the state militia at Lander and has also sent a telephone message to Basin and other towns asking for volunteers to assist him in upholding the law. Everywhere hardy Westerners are re sponding to the call, arming them selves and hastening toward Thermop olis. It is probable the militia will be ordered to the scene and a bloody bat tle may be fought. The country about Thermopolis is a wild and lawless one. The last message from Sheriff Fen ton, which was received this morn ing, said he still held the prisoners and that he believed he could hold out until reinforcements came. NEGROES SEEK TO LYNCH A BLACK Alert Officials at Brooklyn, 111., Prevent the Crime. ST. LOUIS, Mo., July 19.—The jail at Brooklyn, a suburb of East St. Louis, was broken open tonight by a mob of negroes, whose desire it was to lynch one of their own color for as sault on a negro woman. William Car ter, the negro prisoner, was hurried ( frcm the jail and taken in a round about way to East St. Louis. POPE LEO HAS BUT JEW MORE HOURS OP LffE Continued From First' Page paper is the hour of Pope Leo's death. The staffs of all the other fiapers are at their posts, ready tf> isaie special editions at any hour of the night. LIVES IN STATE £)F[COMA HE MAY NOT OVERCOME The pope lies tonighipinia state of coma and there are gTave (toiibts in the minds of his doctors whether he will evet completely emerge. His immedi ate dissolution seems to be only avert ed by the reliability of the action of his heart. His pulse, though weak, continues steady. Shortly before mid night Dr. Lapponi said: ""The pope at the present moment is in a state of coma which may be called a condition preceding the last agony, the duration of which it Is impossible-to forecast, although everything leads to the be lief that this condition cannot last. To be more exact, he is still in a state of stupor from which, however, he rouses occasionally when he hears sharp sounds as, for instance, the insistent voice of one of his familiars calling loudly to him. Left alone he relapses immediately into a condition of tor por. At intervals he murmurs in his sleep, continuing to have forebodings that he is being abandoned by his valet, Centra, and myself. These are the symptoms of incipient cerebral anemia and general exhaustion." He can no longer turn his head without assistance and is being kept alive by artificial stimulants. During the last twenty-three hours he has had two in jections of camphorated oil, three of caffeine and two hypodermics of salt water, besides drinking stimulants. Mgr. Bislotti, master of the pope's chamber, said earlier in. the evening that the pulse of his holiness has not yet shown any signs of becoming in termittent, so despite his extreme weakness and coma, he. believed the pope would survive tonight and possi bly tomorrow. Both the Italian government and the authorities of the Vatican have made final preparations for the pope's death. The government is rigidly censoring all telegrams and telephonic communi cation between Italy and the rest of the continent. At this hour but few people remain at the Vatican. Dr. Mazzoni and Dr. Rossonl and the car dinals have gone to await<tbe last ur gent summons. The medical aspect of the pope's case is exciting much discussion.: One re liable authority, having opportunities of knowing the private history of the treatment, declares that a third oper ation for the removal of the pleuric fluid actually has been performed, but has not been made public in order to avoid increasing the public apprehen sion. It is also stated in the same re liable quarter that Dr. Lapponi and Dr. Mazzoni have made a written statement before a notary giving the exact details of the pope's case, and that copies of these statements have been deposited with Cardinal Ram polla and Mgr. Cagiano de Azevedo, the major domo of his holiness. The purpose of this statement is to an swer, subsequent medical criticisms on the treatment of the case. It is un derstood that the doctors have not been as frank in their bulletins as they, per sonally desired to be, details of 'some features of the case being withheld at the earnest request of the Vatican au thorities. Their formal . statement is expected to clear up the. entire med ical history of the case. EACH HOUR ADDED GRAVITY. Pope Was Slowly Sinking Throughout the Day and Evening. ROME, July 19. —Today each hour added to the gravity of the reports from the sick room of the pontiff until all Rome waited, almost breathlessly, in momentary expectation of the an nouncement of his death. Since the state of depressslon which seized upon the pope during the latter part of the night his condition went steadily down ward and throughout the day the most intense anxiety prevailed. For the first time also the weather was strong ly against him. A blistering heat fell on the city and the great -piazza of St. Peter's took up the fierce sun and threw it back against the Vatican until it was like a fiery furnace, , Even the sllight breeze which prevailed came in hot waves from the south. This seriously added to the discomfort of the patient. He had spent a restless night, sleeping only for short intervals and even then his sleep was '■ agitated. Dr. Lapponi remained in the sick room throughout the night At the morning conference the phys icians noted a distinct change for the worse, particularly in the' accelerated pulse, which had risen tp 9.8 after re maining for many days between 88 and 90. The distinguished patieiit appear ed to have lost all of that vitality of which he had hitherto so remarkably maintained. He appealed p'iteously to those about him, asking not to be left alone. Although his mental vigor was nearly exhausted he again asked that mass be celebrated. This was per formed in the rooom adjoining that In which the pontiff lay. He followed the ceremony and took communion with extreme difficulty. Almost im mediately he sank into a state of com plete exhaustion. At first this took on the character of unnatural sleep and he lay as one inanimate, with his eyes closed. But occasionally he started up and cried out as though In fear. Gradually, however, his sleep became heavier and assumed a condition of semi-consciousness or torpor. After noon there was hardly any re vival from this continued state of tor por, and the doctors remained contin uously in attendance. Their night bul letin announced for the first time their patient had been in a state of coma, which they said has been almost un interrupted during the day. How long this condition would continue they did not venture to say. As Dr. Lapponi came from the sick room at 6 o'clock this evening for a breath of fresh air, he summed up the steady decline in the patient's condi tion at that time by saying; •'"The pope's condition tonight is worse than this morning and last night aftd while the end may come at any moment, yet an imminent catastrope Is hardly antici pated, as the ; state of coma may be prolonged many hours." * ; Meantime the critical condition of the pontiff caused intense excitement throughout the city. When the state of coma first occurred the doctors formally communicated the gravity of the condition of his holiness to Car dinal Rampolla, who in turn advised the cardinals of the sacred college. At the same time the general public be came aware of the alarming change in the pope's condition and the entrance of the Vatican was soon thronged with dignitaries of the church and mem bers of the diplomatic corps, making anxious inquiries. Twice rumors of the death of the pontiff gained circula tion. The cardinals and diplomats upon their arrival were informed of the gravity of the situation, but many of them left upon learning that the rumors of the pope's death were un true. The condition of coma was inter rupted shortly after sunset. Cardinal Vives y Tuto and Mgr. Piffer, the pope's confessor, were then called Into ithe sick room. When, they began to fibS ARE YOU SECURING COUPONS gll^^i'^^T^-^ SL *m the J|J2llTfl''Vll§ Packages I ■: ■ H^^SS|E^''?^vVJ?-*;b:l^S'J^^H» ;: The'.:'Letters <in ' diamond on each Coupon in combination will spell 1 :': BRSpr'? : ' ;^'^TO^ — either PIANO WATCH, or CLOCK.

He lifted his head. Cardinal Vives y Tuto took advantage of the opportunity to approach the bed and tell the pontiff that some cardinals were in the ante chamber. "I my self," said he, "desire to have your benediction." Leo, with a great effort, raised a trembling hand, and in an al most inaudible voice, between long pauses, gave the cardinal the pontifical blessing. The effort, however, ap peared to have been too much for hini, and he fell back into a condition of unconsciousness. Among the cardinals who came to the Vatican today were Cardinal Oreg lia, dean of the sacred college, upon whom will fall the chief duty of di recting affairs after the pope's death. He went to the apartments which ap parently have been prepared for his permanent occupation, and it was be lieved that he had taken up his resi dence at the Vatican in anticipation of his speedy assumption of the im portant duties he will be called upon to perform. Later, however, he left the Vatican. Cardinal Serafino Vannu telli, the great penitentiary, also ar rived in readiness to perform his of fice of reciting prayers for the dying pontiff.^ He remained at the Vatican contfri'uously throughout the day and evening. Toward night the reports from the room continued to be of the gravest character. Cardinal Delia Volpe, com ing from the Vatican, said he had held a brief conversation with Dr. Lapponi, and that the latter made the following -statement: "If nothing new happens the patient may live until tomorrow morning, perhaps until evening, that is, twenty-four hours longer. But be yond this his survival is Impossible." Following the departure of the car dinals a number of carriages were sta tioned in the courtyard of the San Damaso-'in readiness to bring the car dinals to the Vatican when the catas trophe seemed imminent. OREGLIA WILL BE FIRM. Will Rule With Iron Hand Till Pope PARIS, July 20. —The correspondent of the Eclair at Rome has had a long conversation with Marquis Sacchetti, grand marshal of the papal court, who repeated to him the following declara tion made by Cardinal Oreglia, who will take over the administration of pontifical affairs during the interreg num, to the officials of the Vatican: "I shall, alas, be the only living authority and I count on the devotion of the clergy and the military, and I shall expect it to be absolutely blind. For the soldiers there is a prison and I shall use it. Arrangements have been made with the Italian police and I know the garrison of Rome will do its duty outside, let us do ours inside. "I intend to revive the proper tra ditions, taking as a model the former conclaves. Not that the death of Pope Leo XIII. will be announced from the Loggia of St. Peter's to the people of the world, nor will it be made known in a hole-in-the-corner fashion inside. The funeral will be celebrated in ac cordance with authentic bulls. I in tend under the guard of the pontifical army to revive the lying in state of the body in the Sistine Chapel, which function was suppressed on the last oc casion. Every morning orders will be given by me alone and I shall punish the slightest assumption of authority outside the execution of my orders. "Accustom yourselves, gentlemen, not to consider me as an old priest, but as your head, calm and absolute above all and without other control than that of my conscience." The sacred college has decided that the seclusion of the cardinals during the conclave shall be carried out with the strictest formalities. It will even be impossible for the cardinals to look out of the windows and the Vatican guards will watch the coming and go ing of everyone. Cardinal Oreglia has ordered all the telephones in the Vat ican to be removed before the conclave begins. RUSSIA ADMIRES LEO. But High Official of Greek Church Says Union Is Impossible. ST. PETERSBURG, July 19. — M. Pobyedonosteff, procurator of the holy synod, said today to the representa tive of the Associated Press: "Pope Leo XIII. has many admirers in Russia. He is the most eminent person in the political world today, not only on account of his position, but equally because of his character. The emperor greatly desired to meet Leo last spring, but his visit to Rome was deferred. Leo numbered among his life-long admirers the Grand Duke Serge Alexandrovich, the emperor's uncle, who first called upon the pope when a small boy with his tutor. He sent to the pope a token of his es teem upon the occasion of the latter's jubilee. The relations between the Russian government and the Roman curia have been better under Leo XIII. than ever before and are now entirely normal. I understand, for you know the ministry of the interior and the foreign office alone are concerned, the ministry of the interior having entire jurisdiction over foreign religious bod ies in. Russia, while we all respect the pope and the great church whose head he is, we cannot take into considera- tion a union with the Roman Catholic church, of which Leo XIII., like many of his predecessors, hoped and dream ed." The procurator of the body synod is aging, but is alert both mentally and physically. He still maintains a com plete grasp of the affairs of the Ortho dox Greek church, with its multitudin ous relations to politics and life in Russia. The department of foreign worship in the ministry of the interior confirms the statement that the rela tions with the Roman church under the present pope have been more sat isfactory than previously. Cardinal Rampolla, who was mainly instru mental in its establishment, enjoys special favor at the department, where it is believed that his election would mean a continuance of present good relations. PRESIDENT SENDS SYMPATHY. Vatican Authorities Deeply Appreciate Expressions From America. Rome, July 19. —President Roose velt, through Assistant Secretary of State Loomis, has sent to Cardinal Rampolla a telegram expressing the president's sincere sympathy for his holiness in this hour of supreme anxi ety, and asking to be informed of the condition of the venerable patient. The Vatican authorities are deeply appre ciative of this expression of the Amer ican president and recall the cordial personal exchanges between the presi dent and the pope when the volumes of presidential messages and papal encyclicals were exchanged. Cardinal Rampolla sent an answer to the message which contained the thanks of the Vatican authorities of the solicitude expressed by the presi dent and also the latest Information concerning the condition of the pope. Vatican Responds. WASHINGTON, D. C, July 19.—To night the following reply was received to the message sent to Cardinal Ram polla by Acting Secretary Loomis: "Rome, July 19. —Mr. Francis B.

POPE WILL LEAVE A BULL. Figaro Says He Will Advise Cardinals. Not to Be Prisoner* in Vatican. PARIS, July 20.—A dispatch to the Figaro from Rome says that a well Informed prelate has told their corre spondent that he believes Pope Leo's papers will contain a bull relating to the coming conclave, .and advising the cardinals not to shut themselves up within the Vatican grounds on account of the age and weakness of several of their number and the unhealthiness of the palace in hot weather. The \otm^ for the new pope will in any <•;!.«•■ take place in the sistlne chapel, the cardinals being sworn to secrecy as to their de liberations.
