THE WAYCROS3 HERALD, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 2r, 1S93.
AFTEK THE TRUSTS.
CMwrtod Art ion Taken bj the Minnn-ito
Crain Grower** Association.
St. Paul, Oct. 20.—'The Minnesota
Orain Growers’ association has issnetf a
call for all farmers in Minnesota, North
and Sonth Dakota to assemble in Crook-
aton, this state, Qct. 25, to take action
against the grain buyers* combine azuj.
all other corporations that have hitnerto
fixed values on grains. An attempt will
be made to secure legislation, both na
tional and state, to prevent options and
pit selling. *
The call says that it is now manifest
that there is a large shortage in the
wheat crop this season. John S. Fins
bury’s estimate of 88,000,000 bushels of
wheat, made early in the season, for
Minnessota, North and South Dakota,
may be nearly realized, UHP'lke more
numerous and popular estimates of 73,-
000,000 and 100,000,000 bushels are ab
surdly large.
The call is couched in language very
bitter against options and the like, and
says it is now high time that grain-
growers the world over should be able
to place their own prices on their pro
ducts, subject to fluctuations caused by
supply and demand, the same as other
producers.

Chicago, Oct. 20.—Pursuant to a call

carry out the purpose of .the Central
Music hall convention, called * by the
governors of the various states last June.

F. B. Thurber, of New York, as presi
dent.
Resolutions were adopted urging the
president of the United States to recom
mend, in his forthcoming annual message
to congress, the creation of a bureau of
corporate supervision and control, to the
end that fictitious or fraudulent capitali
zation by corporations engaged many
business coming within the provisions of

ed Virginians have in all previous cam

recently went over to the Popnlists and
came to Hanover expressly to meet his
old friend. It was an interesting sight
and an affecting one to -the veterans
present when the two generals mounted
the some platform.
Each spoke an hour and a quarter, ex-
GovemorLee opening and closing. No
unfriendly cuts were made, hut the
speoches were on party lines. General
Rosser made a strong tirade on O’ter-
rail and Cleveland, characterizingthe
% >fmie candidate, andeen-
r for convening congress
just what legislation
should occur.' General Rosser said that
O’Ferrall would be defeated, and his
friend, Fitz Lee, would not be made
United States senator, because ho was
too pure for the politicians. Fitz said
ho was not so sure about the matter.,

by Marshal McGhee.
Knoxville, Oct. 20.—Bud Lindsay,
the most notorious and dangerous des
perado of the mining district about Coal
Creek and Priceville, and a prominent
figure in the wild scenes enacted in that
wild region from 1891 up to a few weeks
ago, was shot and fatally wounded by

Teccmseh, Mich., 0(?t. 20.—Mrs. Alice
Church, a comely wid6w 83 years of age,
and* Bessie Church, her daughter, 18
years of age, were arrested in the act of
committing burglary. They were dress
ed in men’s clothes.
The two women moved in the best so
ciety, wero members of the church, act
ive in charitable work and eminently
respectable as to conduct.
The women confess their guilt, state
that they have committed a score of
burglaries, and will gladly accept any
punishment that is meted out to them.
It was at first believed that they were
insane, bnt this theory has been aban
doned.
Mrs. Church and her daughter have
lived here several years. Both dressed
well, and the girl is not only onusoally
bright, bnt quite handsome. They num
bered among their friends nearly all the
best people of Tecnmseh. They lived
modestly and stated that their income
came from the life insurance of the late
Mr. Church. Mre. Church was popular
with the beaux of the town, bnrft was
observed that she froze them with dig
nity when they became too demonstra
tive.
Early in the summer tfci home of a
prominent family was entered one even
ing while the family were at church and
some jewelry and wearing apparel were
taken. No trace of the burglars could
be discovered. Aboi^t the time the inci
dent was dropping* out of the public
mind another house was entered. Some
money and jewelry wa3 taken from this
house, and, as before, the family were
absent the evening of tho occurrence.
The station was watched and all the
roads out of town guarded, but no burg
lars were arrested. The town police
were' puzzled.
The burglaries followed each other in
quick succession daring Jnly and Au
gust. The whole town was excited.
Strangers were eyed with suspicion and.,
citizens lay in ambush night after night
without accomplishing anything.
All the houses were entered in the
same manner, either through the back
door or a window opening on a porch.
Occasionally groceries and food were
taken. This led to the belief that the
burglars were tramps.
There was a cessation of night work
during September, bnt early this month
the burglaries were resumed. The
^houses were entered usually during the

absence of the family, bnt in many in
stances houses were robbed in which
several men were sleeping.
Last week the home of the lai? Judge
:acey, occupied by Mrs. Stacey and her
raghter, was broken into and robbed of
xkjs valued at $300. A reward was of-
"ered, and a score of amateur detectives
set to work, but beyond arresting a few
tramps, who were clearly innocent,noth
ing came of it.
Relatives then decided to take turns
watching tiie house. About 1 o’clock in
the morning one of the watchers observ
ed what he supposed were two men ap
proaching the house. He got a shotgun
and waited. The burglars lifted a win
dow and boldly entered. .The man with
the shotgun decided to wait until they
entered the diningroom, when he could
get a better light on the targets. The
two figures entered the diningroom, and
as the watcher aimed the gun the light
fell on the face of the Widow Church.
He could hardly believe his eyes. It
was Mrs. Church and her daughter dress
ed up in men’s clothes.
He lowered the gun, approached and
arrested both. They screamed, but re
covered their composure, mid in the
presence*of Mrs. Stacey confessed to all
the burglaries.
The women had a preliminary exami
nation, at which the whole town was
present. They were held for trial.
It is said that they stole to keep from
starving, and that a false pride prevent
ed them from telling their friends of
their condition.
FLEECED BY SHARPERS.
Captain Head, of TlpjM-rary, Fell Into Bid
Hands In America.
Chicago, Oct. 20.—Capt. William Ed
ward Head, of Tipperary. Ireland,
owns a great deal of property there, and
a year ago was elected a police magis
trate. The other night he slept at a
Chicago police station because he hadn’t
money enough to get a bed.
He arrived in America Sept. 21st and
we^t to Washington with letters of in
troduction to Ambassador Pauncefote.
He stayed at the National Hotel, where
confidence men took from him 500
pounds and his watch and chain. This
left him penniless, and the National
Hotel trusted him for three weeks.
Then the Ambassador bought him a
ticket to Tacoma, Wash., and with $50
S ’ven him at the embassy he started.
is money lasted until he got here.
Then he got off his train. Some sharp
ers found him, and in telling them his
story he showed his ticket, upon which
was a return slip from Tacoma to Wash
ington.
The sharpers told him he would not
need that, and one of them got it for $4.
This money put Captain Head in good
spirits again, and he went to his train,
bnt the trainmen wonld not let him pass
on his mutilated ticket. The captain
spent the $4 lor a room and meals, and
when his last cent was gone went to the
police station. There- he said he had
$2,50) sent to him at Tacoma and that
he had a lot of trunks and g. is on the
way there. He showed a dozen trunk
checks.
Captain Head was given 40 cents and
a square meal at tho police station. He
used the 40 cents to telegraph to the
British embassy for more money, and he
is now waiting for it. Captain Head is
a decidedly handsome man, with a good
Irish face and a delightful brogue. He
is about 43 years of age.
