Bpecial to the Globe.
JAMESTOWN, N. D., June B.—The
details of a shocking murder at Bow-'
don have been received.
Fritz Prillip, keeper of a "blind pig,"
was rubbed and beaten to death. The
crime is charged to Thomas Davis,
Thomas Carr, Albert Bowman, Harry
Cullum and James O'Brien, transients.
Prillip came from Uarner, lowa, three
months ago, to Bowdon, and started a
"blind pig." On th-^ night of the mur
der there was a large crowd in his
place, drinking and carousing, until
finally only the live men now under ar
rest were- left, and it is alleged they
decided to rob Prillip.
In the morning some citizens visited
the place and found i'rillip and Davis in
bed together. Davis was in a drunken
Etupor and Prillip v.as nearly dead. He
lived fifteen hours.
A watch charm and coat belonging
to Prillip, also a pair of skeleton keys,
were found on the prisoners. A broken
table leg and buggy spoke were picked
up in the shack, blood upon them indi
cating that they had been used in a
fight.
At the inquest it developed that death
had been occasioned by blows on the
bead and shoulders. Davis waived ex
amination. The preliminary hearing in
the case of the others is now going on
at Fessenden.
WILL IT BE ELKIN
OR PENNYPACKER?
Republican Gubernatorial Nomina
tion in Pennsylvania Hanging:
in the Balance.
HARRISBURG, June B.—"The nomina
tion of Judge Pennypacker Is as certain
as it is that there will be a roll call
Wednesday," said Insurance Commis
sioner Durham tonight, speaking of the
contest for the Republican nomination
for governor.
Secretary of the Commonwealth Griest,
■who is assisting In the management of
the campaign for Attorney General El
kin, said:
"Mr. Elkin will be nominated on the
first ballot. If there was ever any doubt
as to the outcome of this contest, the
result of yesterday's primary elections
should remove that doubt."
Judge Penny-packer and Judge Elkin
are the leaders in the battle for gov
ernor, and these statements are samples
of the claims of each side. Friends of
Ex-Lieut. Gov. Watres, who is also a
candidate, claim he holds the balance
of power, and that his chances are as
gcod as either of his opponents.
Judge Pennypacker's campaign is being
conducted by Commissioner Durham and
Senators Quay and Penrose. Elkin is
managing his own campaign, with the
assistance of State Chairman Reeder,
Secretary Griest and other members of
the state administration. The conven
tion will be held Wednesday.

Thanksgiving Services in-
London in Token of .Re

GAUDY BUT NOT NOISY
Ostentatious Procession From Pn?.
ace to Cathedral, Nobility, States
men and Generals Attend
ing the Ceremonies.
LONDON, June B.—The-noisy jubila
tion with which London has resounded
for the last week was succeeded today
by more subdued although not less im
pressive public demonstrations of thank
fulness for the return of peace in South
Africa.
The thanksgiving services held in Lon
don today were typical of the services
held throughout the empire, but the
presence of King Edward and other
members of the royal family at the
principal devotional services in London
and the progress of the royal personages
to and from St. Paul's cathedral through
cheering thousands of British subjects
and visitors in London, gave thanksgiv
ing day in the metropolis the added fea
ture of a notable historic occasion.
In a Common l.anilaa.
King Edward and Queen Alexandra
rode to St. Paul's in an ordinary landau
drawn by four horses, accompanied by
postilions and outriders clad in scarlet
tunics. Only those members of the roy
al family who reside in Buckingham
palace accompanl-jd their majesties. The
Prince and Princess of Wales and oth-
'_..'.■ ' ■ . ■ '"■' ■: '' ■ .■..'"' ' ' - -•.'•■■; ■ ■'
ers proceeded to St. Paul's separately
but by the same route. The king and
queen were joined at the cathedral by
the Prince and Princess of Wales, and
many other distinguished personages.
The streets from the palace to the
cathedral were thickly lined with people
who bared their heads and cheered as
the royal family passed. King Edward,
who wore the uniform of a field mar
shal, was greeted with enthusiasm, and
the Prince of \v ales and the other
princes were kept busy acknowledging
salutations from the crowd. Lord Rob
erts, who drove with his wife and daugh
ters, was one of the figures most con
spicuously greeted with cheers.
Presented Sword of the City.
The royal personages were driven down
the Mall to Trafalgar ; square, and
through the Strand and Fleet street.
At Temple Bar, officials of the city of
London, for the first time since the
jubilee of the late Queen Victoria,
awaited the sovereign in state. The
king's carriage was stopped when it
reached the city officials and the lord
mayor of London, Sir Joseph C. Dlms
dale, presented the sword of the city
to his majesty and uttered a formal
welcome. The king returned the sword,
smiled, bowed, and simply remarked,
"Thank you very much."
The streets leading to St. Paul's ca
thedral were densely crowded with peo
ple, and a number of persons fainted in
the crush outside the barriers, { which
had been erected within the cathedral.
Received by Bishops.
* King Edward and Queen Alexandra
alighted at the west entrance of St.
Paul's. Hers they were received by the
bishops of Stepney and London, and con
ducted by them to their seats, which
were under the dome of the building and
directly in front of the pulpit. The
seats in the choir stalls were occupied by
the members of the present and former
cabinets, These gentlemen, in their
dark clothes, formed a somber group In
the great gathering in which the uni
forms of officials the costumes of ladies
and( whits surplices were conspicuous
features. - -'--'J' : ;
Members of the house of lords - and
members of the house of commons were
seated on'opposlto sides under the dome.
Detachments of the Royal Fusiliers,
tho horse and foot guards, and other reg.
iments were present. Their majesties
entered the cathedral to the accompanl
lment of the hymn "Onward Christian
Soldiers," by the organ and choir;: and
the throng of worshipers rose and join
ed In the singing. The cathedral organ
was reinforced with horns and instru
ments. ■ :■■■'.-.'■•'.. • . _•; -.

SIXTY ARRESTS MADE
Lawyers, Merchants and Boer anil
Dntch Prisoners on Parole
the Ones Said to Be
Implicated.
LONDON, June 9.—ln a letter from
Pretoria, dated May 18, the correspond
ent of the Daily Mail says that the
previous Thursday sixty arrests were
made there as the result of the discovery
of an extensive plot to blow up the gov
ernment buildings and Lord Kitchener's
residence, and to spike the guns in the
artillery barracks. %
The parties concarned in this plot, ac
cording to the correspondent, were law
yers, merchants, and Boer and Dutch
prisoners on parole.
FORMLALITIES OF SURRENDER.
Dargliera In Line Hear Complimen
tary British Speeches.
LONDON, June B.—The war office has
received the following message from
Lord Kitchener, under today's date:
"The disarmament of the Boers is pro
ceeding satisfactorily and satisfaction
expressed everywhere. Up to yeslerda"y
4,622 ritles had been received."
Dispatches from Pretoria say that the
whole staff of the late Transvaal g'jv-
eminent, with a bodyguard of sixty
men, surrendered last Saturday.
The following formalities are observed
when Gen. Botha, Gen. Dewet, or any
of the Boer commanders accompany the
British officers who are detailed to re
ceive surrenders:
The Boer leader goes out to meet a
commando and returns at its head. The
Boers who come in are generally dress
ed in dilapidated clothing, but have a
smart and soldierly bearing. Those who
are to surrender ara assembled and th©
Boer 'leader delivers an address to his
men, urging them to listen to the Brit
ish officer who has been detailed to do
this work.
The British officer then makes a speech
to the men of the commando, in which
he informs them of the admiration of
King Edward and the British nation for
the Boer resistance and the bravery of
their people, and that the authorities
will do their utmost to enable them to
settle on their farms. A meal is pro
vided for the Boers, after which tha
formal surrenders occur. In many such
instances the Boers have cheered King
Edward, and they have sometimes ex
pressed surprise that no army was sent
out to receive their surrenders. The
Boers are allowed to retain their horses
and saddles. The majority of them ap
pears to be glad that the war Is at an
end and that they will now be able to
join their families.
Among the men who surrendered to the
British authorities at Balmoral, Cape
Colony, were four Americans, who will
be granted free passage to Delagoa bay.
A few of the Boer women still Inveigh
against surrender, but general feeling
among them is in favor of making the
best of the situation.
Throughout the dominions of the Brit
ish empire, and especially in all the
principal towns of South Africa, thanks
giving services for the return of peace
were held today. Lord Kitchener" at
tended a thanksgiving service at Pre
toria, at which 6,000 British troops were

OSHKOSH, Wis., June 8.-A marine
life preserver undoubtedly saved Prof.
Harmen, an aeronaut, from being crush
ed to death, or at least severely injured
today.
One of the features of the formal open-
Ing of Electric park, south of the city,
was a balloon ascension. As the balloon
was freed from its moorings a gust of
wind swept it along and the aeronaut
and parachute appliance were hurled
against an oak tree.
Harman struck one of the limbs, and
though it was four or five inches in
diameter, it was snapped off. The
trapeze and parachute and the lower
rigging of the balloon were torn off,
but Harman was left in the tree. The
balloon proper sailed on, turned bottonv
side up and collapsed not far away.
Harman expected to land ir. Lake
"Winnebago and had life preservers
strapped on. These received the force
of the blow against the tree. Harman
was bruised, but no bones were broken.

throwing stones at them. All four men
denied that they had anything to do with
throwing stones, and informed the Ital
