Outrageous Murder, It is Perpetrated by the Minions of the Law on Unarmed Miners. Deputy Sheriffs Shoot Into a Mob of Strik- ers with Deadly Effect. 6ue of the most cowardly and outrage- ous crimes iu latter-day history was com- mitted last week in western Pennsylvania. A body of 150 miners were on their way to join the workers in the Latimer mines whom they hoped to induce to for a reception of this sort and aside from two little pen-knives were devoid of arms of any kind. " m. This fact is what makes the action of the sheriff and his deputies a cowardly and unnecessary murder. The men had done nothing but violate the injunction of some brainless judge, whose heait is as small as his head, and who makes the mistake of thinking that the welfare of mankind^is centered in the- property of a few grinding corporations who got him his job. The minion who would execute the unreasonable orders of such a judge is either a hired tool, who wjuld sell his grandmother for a pittance, or a petty join the strikers' lanks, Tbey were met j fool whom it isn't safe to have at large, by the sheriff of the county and 10a de- j We understand he has been arrested puties. He ordered them, to stop. The miners murmured, started to move for- ward and one of the strikers attacked the sheriff by striking him with his fist- The sheriff became excited and at once ordered his deputies to shoot. The hun- dred or more rifles belched forth their deadly volley and a cry ot dismay went up from the miners as the men went down before the storm of bullets -like ten pins. Twenty-one were counted among the deadand fully forty were badly wounded. - The miners were entirely unprepared along with the rest of his deputies. That's as it should be, and the next thing the outraged people of Pennsyl- vania want to look for is a rope. Don't stop to look for extenuating circumstan- ces. There aren't any. The man who will shoot bis fellowmen because some court doesn't think it legal for strikers to agitate among their fellow workmen has got altogether too little of human feeling in him to be entitled to live.

Saturday, the 25th, will be the big day; for that's to be the day of dedica- tion. / - Special trains will arrive over both roads early in the morning, and there is no doubting the fact that they will bring thousands of anxious spectators.

A dance at Turner Hall in the evening will conclude the week's round of enter- tainment. The September Bookman has an inter- esting article on Artemus. Ward, dealing at considerable length with his experi- ences in London. When he made his first appearance in tha„ city he enriehed his programmes with a note explaining that he would call on citizens at their residences and explain any jokes that they did not understand, and it is said that there was reason enough in such an offer, in view of the fact that John Bright, the eminent statesman, was re- ported to have remarked, after attending one of the humorist's performances: "I must say I can't see what people find to enjoy in this lecture. The infor- mation is meagre, and is presented in a desultory, disconnected manner. In fact, I can't help seriously questioning some of the statements." ^ * Indianapolis Journal: "They say," said the cornfed philosopher, "that a man is known by the company he keeps, but there are a lot of fellows who, if they were really known by the company they keep, couldn't keep it.

The northwestern millers were very an- xious to secure the passage of the bill, as they had suffered enormono losses through the refusal of tin- -i<>imship companies to make grod the damage which had occurred to Hour while being transported to Europe. A very promi- nent northwestern miller was sent to Washington to advocate the enactment of the bill into a law, and to see that it got a fair show at every stage of the game.

Well Known Sleepy Eye Man and Woman Arrestea in Minneapolis. They have Been Held to the 20th for a Hearing on the Charge of Adultery. The Minneapolis Times of Friday morning contained the sensational news that Mrs. Stephen Gilland, wife of a well-known citizen of Sleepy Eye, and Andrew J, Gilman, an aged and promi- nent stockbuyer, also of Sleepy Eye, had been arrested Thursday night at apartments on Eighth South street, by Supt. €hrisnian of the Chrismau detec- tive agency, on charges of adultery. The arrest, says the Times report, was made at the instigation of Mr. Gilland. Mrs. Gilland ran away from her hus- band about two' weeks ago, came to Minneapolis and brought with her all of the furniture. Gilman is also said to have come to Minneapolis at the time of the disappearance, and the pair are * al- leged to have rented 100ms at the Eighth street house, where they were living as man and wife when they were ai rested.

Happening to mention bis dilemna to a Minnesota'newspaper man, that gentleman asked: ; . % ,". "Why don't you get John Lind to make a speech for the bill?" v ^ - :-•< To this the miller replied: ^. ','' I don't think Mr. Lind Knows much about the questions involved. His at- tention has never been especially called to them." The newspaper man was persistent, however and, remarked: ."Evidently you do not know Mr. Lind. He is informed on a great many questions which you do not suspect him of knowing anything about." *£if%C Nothing more was said at the time, but the remarks of the newspaper man had made such a strong impression on the mind of the miller that he finally went to Mr. Lind and asked, him to ap- pear before the committee, which he did. Mr. Lind made a most able and exhaust- ive argument and at its conclusion was warmly congratulated by those present. The. bill was favorably reported and fi- nally passed the senate. Shortly after- wards, the miller called upon Mr. Lind and after thanking him for his work in behalf of the measure, tendered him a check,' the amount of which it took j|ve figures to express. Mr. Lind promptly, but courteously, declined the chee^a^y- ing: , < "' " '•"' *-\ C "During all the years Jn which I have had the honor to/represent tlieJBecond XuMiesotar district in congress*^ have The miller then replied: "Mr. Lind, while I anv sorry that y o u ^ cannot see your way clear to take this/gT: checK, I feel bound to say that I think *f" you. have adopted the correct policy.' ~ : Now,.if you will come to Minneapolis,3 and open a law office, we will give you, all the business you can attend to.' Mr. Lind closed the interview by saj-^-^M, in»: - ^^'.W "While I feel complimented by your''rAlfe offer, I cannot accept it. I am comfort- \'\^ ably situated at New Ulm.

M? spector, has been in Marshall the past week investigating a charge of corrup- tion filed against the United States land office at this place. Up to the present time no one has appeared to back up the charge and nothing has been done.

' •• ' • Mr. Swineford was interviewed con^. cerning the report from Washington con- cerning the condition of the land office here, and he denies that he ever made such a report or even said anything that would lead anyone to make such a state- ment. A special to the Minneapolis Times from . Washington claimed that Mr. Swineford made a report charging Mr. Mathews, the receiver, with neglect of duty and that his office was in bad shape.

Outrageous Murder,

MARSHALL LAND OFFICE.

Charge of Corruption. Receiver Mathews Invites an Investigation. '

A dispatch to the Minneapolis Journal Vl^J? from Marshall, dated the 11th, reads as >*;,' follows: „ /'* J r V ~%K

Ex-Governoi Swineford, land crfice in-*-•?;.? M? spector, has been in Marshall the past week investigating a charge of corrup­tion filed against the United States land office at this place. Up to the present time no one has appeared to back up the charge and nothing has been done. The register and receiver are very nnxious that the investigation should be pushed, and will either make the parties charg­ing fraud prove it or make it warm for them.' ' •• ' •

Mr. Swineford was interviewed con^. cerning the report from Washington con­cerning the condition of the land office here, and he denies that he ever made such a report or even said anything that would lead anyone to make such a state­ment. A special to the Minneapolis Times from . Washington claimed that Mr. Swineford made a report charging Mr. Mathews, the receiver, with neglect of duty and that his office was in bad shape. " The fact is, Mr. Mathews is very little in the land office, but he has a "clerk who is there every day, and the of­fice it kept up to date. r. -^;.-.-i •
