Creston dispatch: Creston has an
obscene letter writer, who is at present
making the lives of a number of prom
inent citizens miserable. Ilis especial
delight seems to be in writing vile
letters to an estimable young lady and
a young gentleman who visits the
lady’s home. He has informed the
young man that he must kill him or
the woman, and it may not be long
before Creston will have a murder to
record unless this crank or idiot is
captured, which at present does not
seem probable, as the officers have not
succeeded in locating the fool. He has
been engaged in this work for ten
weeks, but the young lady did not
place the officers in possession of the
facts until a few days ago. The
matter has been brought to the atten
tion ot the postal authorities.
Frank Curran, who has been in cus
tody at Cedar Rapids siuce the murder
of Mrs. Bridget Lally, made a state
ment to th ; offeers, which clears awav
the mystery which surrounded the case.
He says that Tom Lally ami his mother
were drinking and quarreling. Tom
called his mother all sorts of vile names
and picking up a chair struck her over
the head. The woman fell to the floor,
and before Curran could interfere,
Lally dealt her three more blows, the
last one breaking the chair from it's
back. They then carried Mrs. Lally
and laid her on her bed. Curran says
he was not intoxicated at the time,
and has a clear recollection of all that
transpired. He was terrified, and
left the house and when he returned
Mrs. Lally was dead. Upon learning
that Curran had told the story, Lally
confessed and was bound over to the
grand jury.
George Carr, oi Webster City, has
been indicted by the graud jury in the
United States court for making coun
terfeiters' tools. For the past fifteen
years Carr has lived at Webster City,
and although he never seemed to do
any work nothing was thought of it as
he was simply classed with a number
of other “ne'er-do-wells'’ who lived
without work. Last July he was dis
covered in the cellar of a drug store
and arrested for attempting robbery,
but he was acquitted of the charge.
This incident, however, put the officers
of the law on the alert, and they set a
watch upon the man. In the course of
time he was arrested for counterfeiting
and a complete set of tools was found
in the cellar under the house in which
he lived. He was taken to Fort Dodge
and placed in jail to await the action
of the United States court, with the
above results. His trial will come off
at the next term of court.
Hans Allen, a prosperous Swedish
farmer, living a few miles from Mc-
Gregor, came to town with a load of
produce. He had been drinking lately
and was under its iniluence when he
visited the residence of a womun
named Mrs. Mink, with whom he had
become infatuated. She is a widow
and residing with her was Wo. Cross,
a fisherman and laborer, about 24 years
old. After entering the widow’s
house, he became engaged in a quarrel
with Cross, aud after some altercation
Allen drew a revolver and shot Cross
dead. Ida, a daughter of Mrs. Mink,
ran out of the house crying. Allen
followed her and tired a bullet into her
buck, which lodged in her side. Allen
then returned to the kitchen and
placing the revolver to his head, fired
a bullet into his brain and sank dead
on the floor. The girl, it is thought,
is fatally injured. Mrs. Mink and her
son fled and escaped injury. Allen
leaves a family, including a wife and
thirteen children.
Sioux City is likely to be a party in a
few days to a suit involving the title
to a large tract of land on the river
front, which the city fathers have for
long time counted as one of their most
valuable assets. Thirty-five years ago
the Sioux City Land and Ferry Com
pany platted Sioux City East addition,
whieh is now the center of the business
district of the city. Except for a nar
row strip along the Missouri river, on
which the addition fronted, the land
was soon disposed of and the company
practically dropped out of sight
Within the past ten years the city lias,
by a system of dykes and piling,
succeeded in extending the levee far
out into the river, creating a tract of
land of great value, to which it has
always been supposed to hold undis
puted title. The old company now,
however, suddenly put in a claim to
the property on the ground that it
belongs to it us accretion. Should it
succeed in establishing this claim it
will come into possession of a tract
many acres in extent within a few
blocks of the business center of the
city.
R. A. Graham, a highly respected
and well-to-do farmer living about five
miles south of Sioux Rapids, fell from
his wind mill, breaking his neck, and
death resulted instantly. The distance
was about twenty feet.
Postmaster Herman, of Richland,
has been found to be 8750 short in his
accounts. His bondsmen have made
good the shortage and the office turned
over to George L. Bertow. Mrs. Her
man has turned over her homestead
to the bondsmen, and this will probably
reimburse them. Drink and neglect of
business is the cause.

WORKING FOR HINSHAW.
New Development* Are Promised In
This Famous Case.
Danville*. Ind., Nov. 26. —A rumor
which is steadily gaining ground prom
ises new developments in the Hinshaw
case. While the motion for a new trial
Is making Us way to the supreme court
his attorneys are continuing their ef
forts to prove his innocence. J. O. Par
ker has been to Michigan to Interview a
man named Roswell, who lormerly lived
at Stilesville, and who left here when
the grand Jury investigation was well
on that resulted in the indictment being
returned against Hinshaw. Mr. Parker
has also called twice to see a man near
Stilesville, who says he knows Hinshaw
is innocent. It is reported that this
man is much affected and cries most of
the time over Hinshaw’s conviction.
It is claimed by Hinshaw’s friends that
he either has some valuable informa
tion heretofore concealed or that the
burden is beginning to hang too heavy
on his own shoulders.
No matter what the outcome may be
the people are looking on the rumors
with much anxiety and conjecture to
what relief further development will
bring to the preacher who is serving
his life sentence in the Jeffersonville
prison.
CANADA’S IMPORTANCE.
Becomes the Main Highway to the Brit
ish Empire.
London, Nov. 2,6. —The Times pub
lishes an article on the Pacific cable
and the proposed direct steamship serv
ice to Canada. It says that the success
of the movement is largely due to
Canada. The government does not in
tend to subsidize the Australian-Pa
cific service from Australia to Van
couver. It is also understood that the
government will subsidize the Atlantic
section of the service only on condition
that better time can be made over the
Canadian Pacific railway than can be
made under existing conditions. In
both the steamship and the cable
schemes the principle is recognized
that in order to have British connec
tions exclusively the line must in the
first instance be carried westward
from the center. By the acceptance
of this principle Canada obtains a
position she has never occupied before
as the main highway of the British
empire.
WILL USE BLOODHOUNDS.
Indiana Marshal on the Track of High
waymen.
Danville, 111., Nov. 26. —Marshal John
son of Cuyuga, Ind., came here yester
day and secured bloodhounds to assist
in hunting down the murderers of Jesse
Stark, who was waylaid and killed at
Cuyuga Friday night. Stark, who was
a saloon-keeper, was beset by several
highwaymen after he had closed his
place of business. He had quite a sum
of money about his person and made a
desperate resistance. He was finally
subdued by being pounded over the head
with a club. He died a few hours after
the assault. Suspicion points to sev
eral well known characters who were
aware that Stark was well supplied with
money.

trust does not come to terms, it is pro
posed to erect a refinery here or at

BOY MURDERER MAKES A CON
FESSION.
Lloyd Montgomery Say* lie Shot Mc-
Kerclier at Brownsville, Ore., but Denies
the Killing of Ills Barents- -Brutal Deed
of a Drunken Hungarian.
Alliance, Ore., Nov. 26. —All doubts
as to the guilt of Lloyd Montgomery,
the 18-year-old boy accused of murder
ing his father, mother and D, R. Mc-
Kercher, near Brownsville, was re
moved yesterday when he made a par
tial confession to Sheriff McFerron.
Young Montgomery said:
“I killed McKercher after he had
killed father and mother. He had
shot them both down and shot once at
me, when I seized the gun and shot
him. Then I ran away from the
house.”
The* prisoner declared that he did not
kill his parents. He told the same
story to his attorney and those present
with him this evening. The officers
feel sure of his guilt now, and express
the belief that he will soon make a full
confession.
ASSAULTED HIS STEI’CIIILD.
Horrible Crime of a Drunken Hungarian
at NdW York.
New York, Nov. 26. —Andrew Tinks,
a Hungarian, while intoxicated yester
day, attempted to assault, then murder
his 15-year-old daughter and then com
mitted suicide. The man, his common
law wife and her daughter by a former
marriage, lived together in a tenement
house in Third street. Saturday night
they all went to a party, returning
home at an early hour in the morning.
Shortly after they had retired the wo
man was awakened by the screams of
her daughter. The man had attempted
to assault the girl, and, meeting with
resistance, was crazed with anger. He
seized a knife and thrust it into the
girl’s back several times. The girl,
though horribly cut and bruised, man
aged to break away from him and es
caped from the house. The police were
called and found Tinks stretched out on
the floor, having fired several shots
from a revolver into his neck and head.
He died before an ambulance arrived.
Burglar* Make a Rich Haul.

tered the state bank at Alpha Saturday

provided with the most approved burg
lar alarms, but that seemed to make no
difference to the men w r ho did the job.
The safe and contents were insured for
for $5,000.
IS OPPOSED BY QUAY,
Pennsylvania Leader Doe* Not Favot
Reorganization of Senate.
Washington, Nov. 25. Senator
Chandler and a few other republican
senators who have been strenuously in
sisting on a reorganization of the sen
ate along republican lines were consid
erably surprised to learn that Quay was
opposed to their scheme on the ground
that it was bad politics.
In questions of party politics the
majority of republican senators have
always shown a strong tendency to fol
low Quay’s advice. Republican control
of the upper house of congress would
necessitate a rearrangement of com
mittees and such a proceeding, Senator
Quay believes, would arouse republi
can antagonisms, especially as to those
committees whieh have to deal with
financial questions and for control of
which silver and anti-silver are now
pulling each other’s hair.
if these committees are made up to
show a majority either for or against
silver it will lead to discord in repub
lican ranks. On general grounds, the
Pennsylvania senator thinks it is good
politics to permit the democrats to con
tinue their control of the senate and
assume full responsibility until aftev
the presidential election. Senators
Sherman and Proctor approve Senator
Quay's suggestion.

played sad havoc with shipping along
the English channel and the coast of
the Atlantic. Four ships which were
due in port Saturday or Sunday are be
lieved to have foundered. The violent
northeast gale which has prevailed
along the British coasts during the last

and the mail steamer, which was unable
to make Calais, returned to Dover.
Other steamers from the continent re
port fearful passages and several cas
ualties to fishing boats and small boats
