6 AGAINSTJSTORBOCK. A New Phase Brought Out in the Burner Habeas Corpus Case. Fayette Marsh Files Charges With the Governor Against the Warden, Charging" a Conspiracy to Get Mr. Reed Into a Bad Odor. Mr. Stordock and Mrs. McNeal Insist Upon a Full Inves tigation. A new phase of the Mrs. Harriet Bur ner extradition case came to light yes terday. When Judge Wilson sat down to listen to the arguments of Fayette Harsh for the relator, and W. 1). Munn and E. M. Van Cleve for the states of Minnesota and Kansas, respect ively, yesterday afternoon, Mr. Marsh informed his honor that he had applied to the governor for a revocation of his order issued for Har riet Burner's extradition, as he had filed certain charges against Warden Stordock. of Stillwater, with the prison inspectors, and desired to retain Harriet Burner as a witness. He also informed the court that a writ of habeas corpus ad testificandum had been issued by Judge McClure, of Stillwater, tor Harriet Burner to give testimony in the Peed investigation, which comes up for hear ing before the prison commission at Stillwater Monday morning. The Still water habeas writ would be returnable at (.> a. m., Monday. The papers were submitted to Judge Wilkin. The application to the governor for the revocation of the extraditing order is based upon the grounds that certain charges have been made against War den Stordock; that Harriet Burner did not Bee as a fugitive from justice from the state of Kansas: that the requisition papers are false: that she did not plead guilty to the information in Kansas, but was discharged from custody with the consent and demand of the courts of Kansas; that she was arrested and con fined in Kansas for the purpose of com pelling her tosuirender two illegitimate children to to their putative father, who is a resident of St. Paul: that she is a necessary witness in the charges against Warden Stordock, also in the Reed in vestigation, and the petitioner believes that the attempt to remove her from this state to Kansas is merely a scheme to prevent her from giving her testimony and, finally, that the cost of extraditing her is being defrayed by residents of Minnesota for the purpose of preventing her from giving this testimony. CHANGES AGAINST STOIWOCK. The charges against Stordock, as filed with the prison commission, are as fol lows, and they accompany the applica tion to the governor: To Hon. E. G. Butts. Hon. John F. Xorrish and Hon. Liberty Hull. Board of Prison In spectors of the btate's Prison, at Stillwater, Minn.: 1. Fayette Marsh, resident, citizen and free holder of Washington county, Minnesota, do hereby make the following "charges against 11. G. Stordock. -warden of the state's prison at Stillwater, Minn., and demand, under the statute in such cases made and provided, a due investigation thereof, and that the said warden, 11. G. Stordock, be deposed from his said office by the governor of the state of Minnesota. First—That during the months of Julvand August, while the said Stordock was acting as such warden of said state's prison, he. by making threats and inflicting punishments, or offering rewards to prL jners confined in said prison, induced said prisoners to make false and fraudulent statements in reference to the character and conduct of ex-Warden J. A. Reed. Second—That the said H. G. Stordock, bile acting as said warden, with the intent to traduce, libel and slander the said .1. A. Reed, ex-warden of said prison, did solicit various newspaper reporters to visit said prison, and did introduce said reporters to and permit them to see prisoners of the most disreputable character, "and did aid and as sist said reporters in obtaining from said pris oners libelous and scandalous things in ref erence to ex-Warden J. A. Reed, with the full knowledge that said statements were ob tained for publication and would be pub lished in the leading newspapers in the state of Minnesota. The said 11. G. Stordock knowing at said lime that said statements so procured by and with his assistance, were false. Third—That the said 11. G. Stordock, while acting as said warden of said prison, caused to be printed and published by convicts, con fined in said prison under sentence of hard labor, a certain newspaper known as the Prison .Mirror. That the said H. G. Stordock. had during all of said time entire charge and control of the Prison Mirror, and that the same was published at the expense of the state of Minnesota. And that said 11. G. Stordock, acting as said warden, and con trolling the publication of said newspaper, did from time to time publish therein and circulate false, scandalous and libelous articles, statements and charges against said J. A. Reed, ex-warden of said state's prison Fourth—That the said 11. G. Stordock, as warden of said prison, used his official posi tion to prevent the said J. A. Reed, ex-warden of said prison, and his attorney, from obtain ing from prisoners' evidence necessary to de fend said J. A. Reed from the charges made against him by said 11. G. Stordock, and by threats and intimidations prevented persons confined iv said prison from testifying in the said proceedings and investigation of ex- Warden J. A. Reed. Fifth—That said H. G. Stordock procured his appointment as warden of sard state's prison by false and fraudulent means. sixth— said 11. G. Stordock, as warden of said state's prison, has by his management of the affairs of said prison, destroyed all of the discipline necessary to the management of a large number of convicts. That he has selected the worst and most dangerous con victs in said prison, in disobedience to the statute and laws in such cases made and pro vided, has released them from hard labor, and allowed them special and unusual priv ileges, dangerous to be conferred upon any convict. That by the action of said warden the dicipline of said prison has been entirely destroyed, and some of the most dangerous convicts confined therein have been per mitted to escape. . Fayette Marsh. ON LEGAL POINTS. The afternoon, until long after 5 ©'clock, was then taken up with argu ments upon the status in law of the case, by Messrs. Marsh, Munn and Van Cleve. Mr. Munn endeavored to show that the papers in the case were with out defect, and that the informa tion of the district court of Shawnee county, Kan., charging Har riet Burner with the crime of attempted procuring, was based upon proper pro ceedings. Mr. Van Cleve informed the court that there was no foundation for the implications that politics, or private motives, had anything to do with the case. Mr. Marsh made a strong closing argument. His points were that Harriet Burner stood charged with no crime, and she was not a fugitive from justice. She was charged with no crimes, because the records do not show that the pre liminary proceedings were regular and legal, and he was prepared to prove that she did not plead guilty, and that the courts of Kansas consented to her re lease from custody. She did not flee from justice because, being bound over to appear and answer to the Hennepin indictment of 1885, she had simply left the state of Kansas to obey the com mand and behests of the courts of Min nesota, and that instead of being a fugi tive from justice she had fled to justice, and had been loyal to the courts of this state. Mr. Marsh went to some length to show that the courts of Kansas do not claim that she was a fugi tive from justice; it was only the affidavit of an obscure attorney named J. S. Usmunger, that says so. Anybody could make such a state ment, he said, but the only court on earth that had jurisdiction to ascertain ♦whether or not she was a fugitive from justice was the present one of Judge Wilkin, in justice to the relator, and to save her from the,damage such irre sponsible statements as the Usmunger affidavit would cause to her by carrying her away from home to get back the best : way she could. Mr.- Walsh cited the celebrated extradition case of United States Senator Patterson, of South Car olina, in which the United States court had held that he was not A FUGITIVE FltOM JUSTICE, - but had been called to Washington on business. The judge postponed the case until 10 a. in. Monday until the Patterson case could be set before him in black and white. *' """-' Gov. McGill has signified bis desire to hear Fayette Marsh on bis application for tin- revocation of-the extradition order, so that should Judge Wilkin dis charge the writ - the case is still open until the governor has heard further testimony.' Mr. Marsh will try to show. to the governor the motives that prompt the attempt to remove Harriet Burner from the state and the circum stances of her relation as witness to the Reed-Stordocß" investigation. Should the governor decline to revoke his ex traditing order, Harriet Burner will probably be taken to Stillwater, at any rate, on-the- habeas - corpus ad tes tificandum of Judge McClure, to enable her to testify to the facts alleged in re lation to the state prison conspiracy. MORE INVESTIGATION WANTED. 11l view of the developments of the case Warden Stordock, by his counsel, J. N. Searles. and the matron, Mrs. Sarah E. McNeal, have appealed to the governor, asking him to extend the scope of inquiry of the board of correction and charities so as to include the statements of Mr. Marsh that Stordock and Smith were interested in setting Mrs. Burner out of the state. He asks for a hearing at the Monday meeting of the board. He says that Reed's counsel has inti mated no desire yet to produce the testi mony of Mrs. Burner and Mrs. Rapp, although ex-parte statements have been furnished to Heed. The best part of the communication is in the following: I notice in this morning's issue of one of the leading papers of the state that one of the women who was to have been examined has been before one of the judges of the dis trict court of Ramsey in requisition proceed ings, alleged to have been instituted by the authorities of the state of Kansas, and" that on that hearing ex-Warden Reed's counsel. Fayette Marsh, Esq., of Stillwater, in terposed ar.d objected to the woman. Mrs. Burner, being delivered to the authorities of the state of Kansas, on the ground that he desired to retain her presence here as a wit ness in the proceeding now pending against ex-Warden Reed before the board of cor rections and chaiities. And he further stated, according to said publication, that he desired to prove and has wit nesses to prove, in said requi sition proceeding, that said proceedings to remove said Mrs. Burner from this state to the state of Kansas are not authorized by the public authorities of the state of Kansas," but are set on foot and prosecuted at the instiga tion of myself and some person by the name of Smith, for the purpose of preventing said Mrs. Burner being used as a witness on the part of ex-Wardtn Reed, on the investiga tion now being conducted by the board of corrections and charities. This charge, thus publicly made and dis seminated through the public press, fur nishes me no adequate opportunity to meet it, and, in my judgment, is' made solely for the purpose of cultivating a public sentiment that shall have a reflex Influence in determin ing the result of the pending investigation. 1 therefore request that you will authorize the board of corrections and charities of the state of Minnesota to extend the scope of their inquiry, so that they may fully and ef fectually inquire into and report upon the truth or falsity of the charge made by ex- Warden Reed, or his attorney, charging- my self or the matron. "McNeal, with conspiring together, or with any other person, to falsely accuse, ex-Warden Reed . of any offense or misconduct whatever: and likewise into the truth or falsity of the charge which accuses we with instituting, setting on foot or in any way being a party to any scheme for procuring the removal from this state of Mrs. Burner, whether in the said requisition proceedings or otherwise: and, furthermore, to inquire fully aud at large into any complaint that has been or may be made against me or the matron, Mrs. McNeal, or any other subordi nate employe connected with the manage ment of the state prison at Stillwater. H. G. STORDOCK. By J. N. Searles, Attorney in fact.- - - ' FOR STEALING HIS-WIFE. Xels Anderson Wants Sam Par sons Arrested on a Criminal Charge. :.Al / Xels Anderson, living at Xo. 22, Swede Hollow, yesterday applied at the county attorney's office for a warrant of arrest for Sam Parsons on the criminal charge of being intimate .with Ander son's wife. Parsons, who is a working man, formerly boarded at the Anderson dwelling, and live weeks ago eloped with Mrs. Anderson. The elopers fled to Halleck, Minn., where they fell- in hard lines, and Mrs. Anderson returned to her husband again and was forgiven. Parsons went to Dakota and • hired to work for a farmer. Since Mrs. Ander son's return, several letters from Par sons, addressed to her, have been inter cepted by her lawful husband. In the last letter, which came Thursday, Par sons intimated his intention of return ing to St. Paul at once and again carry ing off his inamorate. Accordingly, Parsons arrived in the city yesterday; and, hearing ofc Anderson's belligerent attitude, took quarters at a lodging house in West St. Paul to await develop ments. The county attorney refused to give Anderson a warrant for the crimi nal charge, the proof being insufficient. GONE TO DAKOTA, J. K. Olafson, Who Was Wanted For Crooked Dealing. C. K. Wright, cashier of the North western bank of Wahpeton, Dak., came to the city yesterday and secured requi sition papers for J. K. Olafson, who is charged with forgery. Olafson was ar rested on advices from Wahneton Thursday night by Detectives Daly and Kenaly. He was working as a carpen ter in West St. Paul, and lived at 193 Fairfield avenue. The crime with which Olafson is charged was committed a year ago, when he was in the lumber business at Devigat, Dak. He was deal ing with the Northwestern bank, of Wahpeton, at the time, and deposited bogus notes amounting to $700, secured by bogus chattel mortgages, which were discounted by the bank. When he closed out his business and left the country very suddenly, the forgeries were discovered. Cashier Wright left for Dakota with Olafson in charge yes terday afternoon. FOR THE WEATHER SERVICE. Lieut. Woodruff Arrives to Take Charge of the Indication Office. First Lieut. Thomas M. Woodruff, of the Fifth infantry, acting signal officer, who has been designated by the war de partment to have charge of the "indi cation office" arrived in St. Paul yester day. The bureau will be conducted similarly to the one now in operation at San Francisco and to which the com mercial community of that city, and of the Pacific slope generally, is so much indebted. Lieut. Woodruff brings with him a sergeant of the signal service as assistant, and the numerical force of his office, as soon as established, will be augmented by the assignment of two additional men from the headquarters office at Washington. A LAUNDRY BILL. Fook Wah, a Celestial, Claims to Have Been Defrauded , and Assaulted. , Cnarles and Minnie Baker, a colored pair, were arrested yesterday morning by Sergeant Zuklebach in a building on the corner of Sixth and Minnesota streets, charged with robbing Fook Wah, a Chineman. who lias a laundry at No. 22 East Ninth street. Baker and the woman went to Wall's laundry late Friday night to get a package of wash ing, to which they claimed ownership, and the woman fled with the package without offering to pay the bill. Fook Wah pursued, and he alleges that Baker assaulted him, knocking him down and robbing him of *20, which he carried under his shirt. In the. police court a hearing of the case was contin ued until Monday morning. ,"' The Dime Museum.

Chicago, Oct. 15.— principal rifle competition of the Chicago tournament, the all-comers' team match, was con cluded to-day in a very strong head wind, which reduced the scores on the long ranges very materially. The match was commenced yesterday noon with a favorable wind, which continued all day and allowed the teams to make some very creditable scores at 200 and 300 yards. At the conclusion of yester day's shooting at the first twelve ranges, tho department of Missouri team was in the lead with the Minne sota team second, twenty-one points be hind the leaders. The Massachusetts team pre old and practiced marksmen in heav winds, and, as a consequence, pulled up into first place soon after. reaching the 000 yard range. The Minnesota team held up so closely to the army team and that of the Massa chusetts riflemen that it was feared by the crack riflemen of the country that they would be beaten in spite of their efforts to remain in the lead. Old army officers stated that the scores made by the Minnesota team were remarkable, when the fact of the small amount of practice the team had had was con sidered. The teams finished the match in the following order: Massachusetts, 1.585; Department of Mis souri, U. S. A., 1,556; First Regiment of Minnesota, 1,508; the "Haymakers," of Maryland, 1,470; the First lowa, 1,442; the Department of the Atlantic, U. S. A., 1,439; First Michigan, 1,389. The winning team is the celebrated Massachusetts state team, who have won every team match at Creedmoor for the past five years, and contains all the distinguished marksmen of the state they represent. The department of the Missouri team is made up from the cream of the United States army and contains no member who is not classed as a "distinguished marksman" among the regulars. The score made by Pri vate leeney, of the Missouri Depart ment team, was beaten by three of the Minnesota team. The Stagmakers, of Maryland, have contested in 123 matches in the East and have NEVER BEEN BEATEN, and the victory of the Minnesota boys over them is something to be proud of. The Minnesota team beat the Hay makers at three of the ranges out of four, and have stated their willingness to shoot against the Maryland team for any amount that the boys from the mountains wish to put them. The fact that the department team of Missouri only led the Minnesota militia boys thirty-eight points shows that they are a team that any state should feel proud of. The prizes won by the Minnesota boys aggregates $350—5100 in the Regi mental team match and $250 in the all comers team match to-day. The indi vidual scores of the Minnesota team to day were as follows: . TABDS. , C ->; Names. 200 300 500 600 Total Private Falk. 41 46" 44 33—164 Lieut. Chantler....44 43 44 30—101 Sergt.

IT TOOK SIX MINUTES For Mike Conley to: Knock Out Smith, of. St. Paul. Special to the Globe. :•"•'. Ashland; Wis., Oct. 15.—1t took Mike Conley, of this city, just six.minutes to knock out O. 11. Smith, of St. Paul, to night at the Ashland theater. The bat tle was limited to" six rounds and was for the gate receipts, which amounted to about i 650, 75 per cent, of which goes to the winner. The light was a big dis appointment to the crowd, which had been preparing for the event for a month ■ past, it being expected that Smith would be an equal go. He was absolutely- un able to touch Conley.except to grab him by the legs when-dodging from the Sul livan-like punishment he received. At the call of time for the first round Con ley bounded at his man like a cat, and showered the blows about him so rap idly that he never recovered, and after being knocked into the ropes and tangled two or three times he took his corner, decidedly groggy. The second round was a repetition of the first, the fighting being forced by Conley, who drove his : adversary all over the ring; knocking him down: as fast as he could get up. The round ended, and wound up the contest, when Conley planted one on Smith's neck. He could not get up at the end of the ten seconds required. Smith's ability had been greatly over estimated by Ashlandcrs and especially by Conley, who believed he had a her culean task to perform. On this ac ,count he fought to win, and from the outset absolutely dazed Smith, who never even once reached his man with a .blow. 1 . ?i HE MAY GET LEFT. A.Crank. Canadian Skipper Who Is Looking Tor a Fight. Halifax, Oct. l."s.—Great interest at taches to the approaching departure from this port of the schooner Honlette for the Alaskan, seal fisheries. The Honlette for two years has been em ployed as a Canadian fishery cruiser, and was the vessel that effected the capture oft" the Provincetown schooner Highland Light. Capt.. Grant, a Nova Scotian, who is extensively engaged in Alaskan seal fisheries, from victoria, 8.C., came all the way to Halifax to purchase vessels to engage in that fish ery. He says there" are eighteen British Columbian vessels sealing in Alaskan waters, and that" their catch aggregate 9500,000 yearly. He denounces in vio lent language" the action of the United States government in capturing Canadian vessels, and alleged brutal treatment of Canadian fishermen taken prisoners, which, he says, is nothing but retaliation for the Canadian strict en forcement of her treaty right in the At lantic waters. But Capt. Grant says he will teach the Yankees a lesson if any attempt is made to capture the Houlette. He is arranging to.obtain cannon and a complete outfit of small arms and am munition similar to that carried by the Houlette when engaged in the fishery protection service. : Capt. Grant says he is going out to take seals on the open sea and if any American cutter attempts to interfere with him or his vessel there will be a fight. Capt. Grant is a deter mined looking man, who has already led a wild life sailing the South Pacific and Chinese seas. He commanded the clipper ship Louisa Hatch when she was captured by the Alabama, and Grant and his crew were placed in irons and afterwards put ashore and left by Capt. Sennnes upon an island near the equator. A Terrible Time at Sea. San Francisco, Oct. 15.— Amer ican ship Occidental has arrived at Port Townsend from Aeapulco, Mexico. She sailed from Cardiff Jan. 29, with coal for Aeapulco. On March 16 Capt. J. Williams had some words with John Johnson, a seaman, about an order that was destroyed, and Johnson stabbed him to the heart, causing instant death. First Officer John Crane assumed com mand, but the crew would not obey him and practically navigated the craft themselves. On reaching Valpariso the murderer and the mutineers were turned over to the American consul. They claim that Crane was intimate with the captain's wife after: the mur der, and they were seen drinking and carousing; together in the cabin. After the ship reached Aeapulco, Crane was attacked with delirium tremens, and was sent to San Francisco with Mrs. Williams. Mexican fever, broke out on board and the carpenter died. Most of the crew were sick, - and the J ship had great difficulty in reaching Port Town send. - ..... , —;. :„^. A Great Oil Monopoly." —i; : PiTTSimnG. Pa., Oct. 15.— Stand ard Oil company, following the methods of the coal barons, has ordered a gen eral shut down in all the oil producing districts, where it ha control. to-day. The movement, of course, is intended by limiting the supply to enhance the price, and create an artificial famine in this product, which will soon be felt throughoutjthe country. This perepmt ory proceeding will at once freeze out all the smaller operators and give the monopoly full control of the trade. It is not known yet whether the Saxon burg district can be counted on to join in the movement. Believing that' the Butler county producers would stand out the Oil Trust syndicate has made a tempting offer to buy up all their inter ests and stop further drilling. The Standard company will not be satisfied until the price of,oil and whisky is equal, ami they now contend for $1 a gallon. MARINE. PORT OF ASHLAND. Special to the Globe.

Stephens, brother-in-law of Cornelius Vanderbilt, said last night: '■•■' '-' "Mr. DePew's statement is a just one. I have just made a tour of the West myself, and 1 had to lift a warning voice all along the route. The wild speculation in real estate and the inflated condition of certain Western railroad properties are bound to result in a crash.
