given the name of Lizzie Smith and said

came recently from Nebraska. Friday

85,000 for the return of his child and no
questions asked. All day Friday the
police worked every possible avenue, but
could find nc clue, and the parents were
nearly prostrated, neither having taken
any rest since it disappeared. Friday
night a man appeared at the mansion.

wore a false face and wig. When Beals
came to the door the man told him he
was a detective, that he had found the

tective would deliver the child for that
amount. Beals told the police he had
pledged his honor that the man should
not be arrested while engaged in carry
ing out his part of the contract and
ordered them not interfere. At ten
o'clock Friday night the man returned
with the child and handed it over upon
receipt of 85,000 in bank notes. The
child was Bleeping soundly, safe and
well. The joy of the parents knew no
bounds. When a representative of the

says: The mines at Oliver Springs are
now idle because the white miners have
struck. The cause of the strike was
the issuance of warrants for ten of
them for participating in the outrage
against the colored miners who were
driven from their homes by the white
men. There has been a regular reign of
terror for the part few days.
The through Texas express, which
was robbed Monday night at Glendale,
Mo., reached Paris, Texas, Wednesday
night. The express messenger who
relieved Messenger Mulrenen says the
haul made by the robbers may run up
into hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The run was a heavy one, as at this
season the southern banks are getting
large sums for cotton payments.
A dispatch from Manzanillo, Mexico,
states that the American steamer Rose
ville arrived there and reports passing
the wreck of the brig Taniti at sea.
She was floating bottom up and the
captain of the Roseville says she must
have been c^ftlzed. The rigging had
been cut away on the port side, appear*
ently to prevent this. The wreck must
have happened at least a month ago.
Besides the islanders the vessel carried
officers and crew, 21 in numljer, making
291 on board.
Justice Woodman of Chicago, liefere
whom the cases of the anarchists, w ho
were arrested at a meeting held on Nov
11, are being tried, on Wednesday de
cided that the assemblies raided were
unlawful ones. He fined the leaders
8100 each and the others 810 each.
These fines, at the instance of the city
attorney, were at once suspended. This
action was presumably taken for the
purpose of averting an appeal to the
higher courts. It is understood, how
ever, that the defendants will appeal,
nevertheless.
John Howard Parnell, eldest brother
of the late Irish leader, arrived in New
York Tuesday on his way to Ireland*
He will be accompanied by his mother'
Parnell's mission to Ireland is one which
is destined to bring him into much
prominence. As the head of the Parnell
family, he is desirous of bringing to an
end the factional spirit, which relies
upon his brother's name for Jits exist
ence. It is his purpose to open nego
tiations for the reunion of all Irish
members under the leadership of Wil

man.
A special meeting of the city council
of Omaha Monday night broke up in a
row. There has been bad blood for some
time between Councilmen Specht, Mori
arity and Blumer, on account of charges
of boodling. After words, Blumer
grasped Specht by the throat, and the
latter retaliated with a sledge-hammer
like blow, which drew blood from Blu
mer's mouth. The mes grasped and fell
when Moriarity rushed up and began
kicking Specht, One of the spectators
objected to his kicking the man when
down, and when Moriarity did not desist
the objector laid the belligérant low
with a blow which cut an ugly gash in
Moriarity's chin.
Dr. Fuller, Cyrus W. Field's attend
ing physician, issued a bulletin Wednes
day saying that his patient's condition
somewhat better. The condition
of Mrs. Lindley, Field's daughter, re
mains about the same. After having
tried to commit suicide Edward M.
Field has been declared insane and
Wednesday was placed in a private asyl
um near Mt. Vernon. It is now known
that Eld ward Field not only robbed and
deceived his partners, but stole every
cent his father had. Mr. Field realized
the fact that he was penniless in his old
age, for as he lay on his death bed
Wednesday he said to an old friend: "I
am as poor today as when I came into
the world."
A special dispatch from Wilson A. T.,
says that the Apaches are on the war
path and have committed several depre
dations. B. H. Daniels of Ontario,
Canada, was killed and Major Wn.
Downing, who lives thirty miles south
of this place, was wounded by Indians
in ambush. Robbery was not the object
of the murderers. It is the season when
the redskins become uneasy and the
dispatch says it will be well for all citi

more livee are wantonly taken. The
military are taki n g every precaution to
defend the settlers. Great excitemeut
exists among the settlers, who fear a

In a division of Iter majesty's high
court of justice liefore Justice Butt,
there was commenced Tuesday a case
which excites much comment, partic

grandson of the great Lord John Russel,
on the ground of cruelty. The troubles

The men slugged at close quarters for
the first three rounds, "The Pearl" scor

A special to the New York World from
Boston says the illness of Gen. Butler is
very serious. Every effort has been
made to keep the matter secret, but it
can now be safely said that the gravest
doubts of his recovery are entertained
by those in a position to know most
about his condition, some of them assert
that he will never again be able to leave
his house. The general who is lying at
his home in Lowell, took a severe cold a
few weeks ago. He has l>een under the
constant care of physicians ever since.
He sits up for a while every day and
then he lies down and tries to sleep.
But he gets no better from day to day.

The Philadelphia Press has the fol
lowing to say of Blaine's health: To
consult his medical adviser was the
prime reason for Blaine's trip to Phila
delphia. Blaine learned that he was in
better health and strength now than for
four years hack, and a year hence he
will be stronger than now. It was
further learned that he is as good a man
physically at 61 years (Mr. Blaine's age)
as anybody else of like age. The physi
cian said:
Mr. Blaine is a well man. For his
years he is sturdy. When I began to
attend him last spring he was suffering
from acute illness, was in a very had
condition and completely broken down
by overwork. I did not know what the
outcome would be. Now there is no
doubt in my mind, for his health is ex
cellent. He is back tohisnormal weight,
has a good appetite and sleeps well. He
has become well by the exercise of com
mon sense, sot by medicines. At Bar
Harbor he went out riding so far each
day, walked a certain distance and played
hand ball a fixed length of time. Before
his illness he waB not a man who would
take much exercise. Now he has grown
to like it. If Mr. Blaine continues to
take care of himself I see no reaon why
he should not live many years longer.
He has entered upon a rijie age, being
61 years of age, and takes pleasure in
hie present strength.

The following letter from Commis
sioner Carter will be of interest to home
stead settlers: "John W. Eddy, Helena,
Montana.—Sir: I am in receipt of your
letter of November 6, 1891, in which you
state that as you understand section
2.289, act March 3, 1891, a person may
enter eighty acres of surveyed land, and
later on when the adjoining township
is surveyed, enter an "additional home
stead" for the remaining eighty acres
upon which a party has settled, instanc
ing, as a case in point, John Trodick, who
has been settled upon SE % SW 3-4 SW
l 4 SE l 4, section35,township 15 N, range
4 W, the former township being sur
veyed and the latter unsurveyed. You
desire to know if he can file upon the
eighty acres of surveyed land now, and
take the other eighty as an additional
homestead when surveyed.
In reply, you are advised that section
2.289, Revised statutes as amended by
act of March 3, 1891, provides that such
persons as are qualified shall he entitled
to enter one-quarter section, or a less
quantity of unappropriated public land
etc., and it is held by this office that if a
party chooses to take a less quantity of
land than 160 acres under this section,
he thereby exhausts his homestead
right.
The provision of said section which
states that "every person owning and
residing on land may, under the provi
sions of this section, enter other land
lying contiguous to his land, which
shall not, with the land already ownsd
and occupied, exceed in the aggregate
160 acres," applies only to persons who
are qualified to make homestead entries,
and a person who has made a homestead
entry since March 2, is not so qualified.
The ownership contemplated by such
provision is the title obtained by some
other means than under the homestead
law.
Mr. Trodick is not bound to enter the
tracts of land|claimed by him until the
1 ind in Tp. 14 N., R. 4 W., is s urveyed
and the plat thereof filed in the local
office, and should he enter the surveyed
lind, it would lie a waiver of his right
to take the number of acres to which he
is entitled, and it would be held that he
had exhausted his homestead right. (See

Castle Wagon Road.
A meeting of the business men of Cas
tle was had Friday evening to listen to
the report of the committee appointed
to view the route for a wagon road be
tween Castle and Neihart. The Trib
une has the following to say regarding
the meeting: Mr. West, who volun
r . Hive his services gratuitously
to view this proposed route, said that he
spent four days this week engaged in
this work; that he traveled from Black
hawk to the summit. which was within
six miles of King's hill, where this pro
posed route from ('a.tle would inter
cept the White Sulphur Springs road
leading to Neil.art; that the route he
traveled over possessed a good natural
road, and that at a probable cost of
81.(XX> it could he put in good order to
over. He further said that he was in
formed by some miners who were at
work at the summit that the balance
from there to King's hill, with the ex
ception of a quarter of a mile, was
equally as good, and that portion three
men in three days could put in good or
der with a plow anil scraper, and that
the distance from Uastle to Neiliart bv
wax of the Middle Checkerboard would
cost the most. It is almut two miles
long. It might take from 83.<XXt to
85,(XX) to make this part of the road.
As the season was getting too late to
take an} active steps towards building
it the whole matter, on motion, was re
ferred to an executive committee with
full power to act for the town in con
junction with other places and individu
als. This committee is composed of D.
N. West, L. Peavey, \V. A. Roots. Dr.
DeVere and W. A. Smith.
;i*r Grave* on Trial
A Denver dispatch of tlie 28th says:
The first week of the trial of Dr.Graves,
charged with the murder of Mrs. Barn
abv of Providence, K. I., has come to a
close, and considering that most of the
time has been devoted to the usual rou
tine matters preceding and quibbles
over legal technicalities, it has been un
usually exciting. Every foot of legal
ground is hotly contested by the attor
neys of the different sides, and the trial
is destined to pass iuto Colorado's ju
dicial history as a mighty contest l>e
tween some of the greatest intellects in
the legal profession. It is now thought
that the work of qualifying jurors will
he completed by Monday evening and
that the trial will begin in earnest on
Tuesday morning.
John H. Conrad, a son-in law of Mrs.
Barnahy, the alleged victim of Dr.
Graves, is pushing the prosecution with
unrelenting vigor. He claims that there
is no doubt hut that Dr. Graves w ill he
convicted. He says that much of the
most important evidence in the case is
as yet unknow n to the public, and that
it will he introduced at the proper time
in the trial. District Attorney Stevens
is also working with great vigor to se
cure the conviction of the accused, in
whose guilt he firmly ljeheves, and he
asserts that it will he impossible for the
defense to refute the mass of criminat
ing evidence which is being held in re
serve and which will soon lie launched
in its proper channel.
The opinion of the Denver public as
to the innocence or guilt of Dr. Graves
was at first about evenly divided, but
belief in his guilt is evidently grow ing if
the frequent expressions of opinion
heard in the court corridors and on the
streets are entitled to credence. Only
seven men were left out of the panel of
250 talesmen when the court this morn
ing resumed the work of securing it jury
to try Dr. Graves. These sevelü men
were quickly examined and an adjourn
ment was then taken until Monday,
when it is thought the jury will he com
pleted.
The two most interested spectators of
the proceedings were Dr. Graves and
John H. Conrad. The one was an aven
ger and the other is battling for his life.
Colonel Ballou sat between the two men,
at mortal enmities, for Mr. Conrad be
lieves the doctor guilty and the latter
cannot move the man who is trying to
convict him. Dr. Graves' face was rosy
this morning and he looked much more
confident than he has since the progress
of the trial began.
Keed'g Rulings.
A brief has been filed for the govern
ment in the supreme court of the l nited
States by Solicitor-General Taft, in the
case of the United States, appellant, vs.
Ballin, Joseph & Co., known as the quo
rum case, brought to test the legal t} of
Speaker Reed's methods in counting a
quorum; also to test the appraisement
of worsted goods. The case comes to
the supreme court on an appeal front
the United States circuit court for the
southern district of New York. In his
brief Solicitor-General Taft gives the
position of the government as follows:
The presence of a majority of the
members of either house constitutes a
quorum to do business. Members, if
present, are a part of the required quo
rum to do business, though they do not
vote. This is shown, first by the context
of the constitution providing in effect
that a quorum to do business may be
obtained by compelling the presence of
absent memliers; second, by the histoi}
of the clause in the constitutional con
vention; and third, by the common law
meaning of the word "quorum. Each
house, by virtue of its constitutional
power to determine the rules of its pro
ceedings, may ascertain the present e of
a quorum by any means or agent} it
chooses to select, and after such ascer
tainment the house, by virtue of its
power to keep a journal of its proceed
ings, may, as it did here, make the
journal show the truth, and thereby
conclusively establish the fact of the
presence of a quorum. The bill recetv
the affirmative vote of a majority of the
quorum and was lawfully passed.

Death of "Land Hill" Allen.
A dispatch from Columbus, Ohio, of
the 29th inst. says: The great public
benefactor known in history as "Land
Bill" Allen ended his days in the Frank
i lin county infirmary this morning at six
o'clock, after suffering one week with
paralysis. Mr. Allen was born in YYin
dom. Conn., May 23.1810. In early years
his father moved to Rhode Island, anil
he was given an education. He also
learned the tailor trade. "Land Bill"
Allen also entered the journalistic arena,
running the Rhode Islander. He mnr
risd Zena Weaver, and sold his paper
and came to Columbus in 1829. He
edited the Ohio State Journal and the
Cincinnati Gazette for years. Having
the homestead idea that of giving 100
acres of Indian hind to every man who
would guarantee to settle on it in the
west he spent 860.000 introducing his
plans. In 1863 the great bill was passed
in congress, but Allen nerer took any
lands. He moved to Sharon township.
Franklin county, and l>egan farming.
Shortly afterwards his wife died. Sick
ness came on the old benefactor, and
little by little his projierty passed out of
his possession, leaving him at least pen
niless and helpless in his advanced years.
A few weeks ago he was admitted to the
Franklin county infirmary where even
attention has been given him, and sev
eral subscriptions have been raised all
over the country to assist him. Ere the
assistance of his friends could be appre
ciated, death relieved the old man of his
troubles. His Ixxly is in charge of the
superintendent of the infirmary who will
hold it until Wednesday, giving the
friends an opportunity to bury him. A
monument fund is in progress.

A Dead Sure Game.
Grant Weds and Andrew Scott were
arrested by Sheriff Templeton and A. E.
Ovens Monday evening for conducting
a strap or belt game. Wells was ar
raigned before Justice Redliehl Tuesday,
entered a plea of not guilty and in the
afternoon his examination was proceeded
with. W. H. Poorman appeared for the
defendant and County Attorney Joy for
the state. William Tuggle, a victim of
the game, testified that on Saturday he
met the defendant Wells on Hefferlin's
corner and walked down to Lisk's saloon
with him. While they were standing
there Scott came out of the sakxjn and
stood looking in the window. Wells
noticed a string hanging out of his
pocket and upon pulling it out found a
strap attached to it in which there was
a three-cent piece. Wells put the coin
in his pocket, rolled the strap up again
and placed it in Scott's pocket and then
asked the latter what he was doing with
the strap in his pocket. Scott said he
had a three-cent piece rolled up in it.
Wells wanted to bet him the drinks that
there was no three-cent piece in it.
Scott wouldn't bet the drinks but would
bet 810. Wells didn't have 810 but he
thought maybe young Tuggle had. Of
course Tuggle had 810 and wanted to
bet it. He had just seen Wells slip the
leather out of Scott's pocket, remove the
three cent piece and put the strap back
without Scott noticing it. It was a
dead easy snap to win 810 off of Scott
and as Tuggle had no desire to overlook
a snap he put up the money. Then
Scott wanted to put up ten more and
Tuggle saw him for five. Scott then
reached in his pocket, pulled out the
strap, unrolled it, and produced the
three-cent piece. Of course Tuggle lost,
and with the remark that the trick was
worth 850 to him they walked away.
Monday evening they tried the same
game on H. N. Owens but failed. On
complaint of A. E. Owens they were
arrested and lodged in the county jail.
The strap with which they worked is
about ten inches long and one in width
and is so arranged as to conceal one coin
and leave the other exposed. By press
ing underneath the strap the concealed
coin is forced out and the victim loses
his money. After hearing the testimony
the men were bound over to the district
court in 81,000 bonds, and in default of
the same were committed to the county
jail.
Justice Woodman, before whom the
cases of the anarchists, who were ar
rested at a meeting held November 11,
and ii was decided that the assemblies
raided were unlawful ones. He fined
the leaders $150 each and the others 810
each. These fines, at the instance of the
city attorney, were at once suspended.
This action was presumably taken for
the purpose of averting an appeal to the
higher courts. It is understood, how
ever, that the defendants will appeal,
nevertheless.
