FRANK HAMILTON ON TRIAL
EeporUr it Charged with the Harder of
Millionaire) Day.
STORY OF KILLING RECOUNTED
County Attorney Declares tliu l'rln
oner lias Confessed to the. Crime.
Clnlmlnir It AVnn Done In
Sclf-Defense.
MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 9. The trial of
Frank II. Hamilton, the newspaper reporter,
on the charge of murdering Leonard It. Day
by stabbing him In a hotsl billiard loom on
November 26 last, began today. The court
room was packed with a curious crowd.
Upon tho opening of tho caso Judge
Brooks gavo a fuw words of ndvlec to tho
Jury, pointing out to them tho Importance
of the case, the necessity of keeping open
minds and not forming too hasty conclu
sions until tho cvldcnco was all before
them. County Attorney IJonrdinnn outlined
tho cAsn and mado the sensational stnto
ment that Hamilton, beforo bis friends and
attorneys had boon able to reach him and
ndvlsu silence, had mado a confession of
the crlrao to a pollco officer and had claimed
that It was Cone Ic self-defense.
I)r. II. H. Staples, house physician at the
hotel, was tho nst witness called.
Ho simply testified to finding Day dead on
tho floor of tho billiard room.
J. Warron Little, who had attended the
noat mortem, described Day's wounds In
dotal). The fatal ono was a gaping wound
on the left sldo Just above tho collar bone.
It bad completely severed tho aub-clavlcu
Ur artory and bad penetrated tho apex of
tho left lung.
Could I.lvr but Little While.
The fatal wound bad been delivered al
most vertically. It was downward and for
ward. A man could Uvo but a few mo
rr.ents after such a wound. Tho cut was
an Inch long and a quarter of an Inch wide.
Formor Morguekoopcr John Walsh pro
duced Day's blood-stained clothing and It
was allowed In evidence. Alf. F. (lory told
how he. with Ray L. Kvans and Guy Can-
field, accompanied Hamilton to tho hotel
after 1 o'clock In the morning. He saw-
Day and his party playing billiards. He
heard Hamilton spenk disparagingly of a
mutual woman acquaintance. Hot words
and a clinch followed. They wero sep
arated and witness did not bco the second
clinch. Ho saw Day stagger and fall after
they had been separated. Hnmlltou had
assaulted Day and tho latter had scorned
to be preparing for It. On cross-exam
lnatlon tho witness said he did not know
what they had gono to the hotel for.
Onry took tho stund ngaln after recess
Ho admlttod hearing Kvans making wild
threats against Force, threatening with
ruths to cut his heart out. Kvans was In a
fr my. Day and Hamilton, ho said, were
n nndlng up when (Icorge separated them
T' saw no knlfo In tho hand of cither, or
rf anyone there. Ho had apologized to
rco for Bvans' behavior nnd was about to
juvo when ho saw Day stagger nnd fall
ilamllton was half way across tho room
Iwenty-flvo feet away from Day nt thnt
time. Kvans had blond on his shirt and
collar and was cut In tho head.
Charles K. Force, secretary of tho North
west LIfo association, wus tho next wltncsB,
Ho told tho story of how ho was playing
billiards with a party when Hamilton nnd
his companions cumo and Hnmtlton nt onco
became Involved In a hot dispute In which
Day asked and Hamilton admitted that he
had made a foul nccusntlon against Day to
a "certain person." On crosB-cxnmlnntlon
Force Bald tho party ho was with had had
perhaps five roundu of drinks.
Interest Center on (Irorise.
A fenturo of the afternoon session was
tho appearance of Fred H. George on th
witness stand. Interest centered around th
testimony of (Icorge, who told of tho clr
cumstances succeeding tho quarrel of Ham
llton and Dny ami of his rart In separating
thorn. His testimony tallied In the main
with that of Force. Tho evidence of both
men was substantially the emtio ns that
given at tho coroner's Inquest. fJeorgo
stated positively ho had seen no knlfo during
tho evening nnd did not know how he got
cut on his hand or at what time. On croos
cxamlnatlon Goorgo sntd the fact thai ho
was hurt had not suggested to him that
omeono else might have been cut. Tbcro
wero others In the room.
"My attention was next attracted to them
when they cnuio together n second time, and
the end of tho blllnrd table separated them
again."
"When 1 saw Hamilton nnd Day clinched
a second time." explained Mr. George,
"Hamilton had his. arm around Day's neck.
No. I'll recall that. I don't mean to say
thnt. I moan that ns they went down In a
clinch Hamilton Was on top. I did not
know anyone hut myself had been hurt,"' ho
explained a second time.
The court then ordered nn adjournment
until 10 o'clock Monday.

ChlciiK" Millionaire Spent $::r,00 to
Avoid I'nyliiK 7.
Charles W. Fullerton, tho Chicago mil-
Uonalre who died last week, was a roan
who would stop at no expense to defeat
thoso who he thought wero trying to tin-
poso on or cheat him. Ho spent $25,000
four years ago .In building a prlvato water
works on his Highland Park estate because
tho town authorities overcharged him $7
on his water bill.
Tho summer home of tho Fullcrtons at
Highland Park is one of tho handsomest
of tho neighborhood, relates the Chicago
Intor-Occan, Tho grounds contain many
acres along the Sheridan drive, nnd it was
the hobby of Mr. Fullerton to ralso flowers
and vegetables. To carry on this extensive
gardening much wnter waB necessary. Mr,
Fullerton had a veritable network of pipes
with vents runnlns a few Inches below
the surface throughout the garden, so that
tho garden was never very dry, nnd plants
and vegetables grew llko magic. Water
charges were paid without a murmur until
Mr. Fullerton beenme convinced thnt ho
had been dvortaxed $7 on a certain bill.
He protested to tho town authorities and
somothlng was said about shutting off his
wnter If he did not pay up. That was
enough for tho millionaire. Ho declared
he would Indulge his tastes Independently
of an unreasonable town board, and ho did,
regardless of tho cost.
Residents of Hlchland Park were as- I
founded ono day to see preparations for
tho building of nn independent water worl
begun on tho Fullerton cstato on tho lako
shore. A largo wator main wbb laid far
out Into tho lako, and a high tower erected
n lltllu distance back from the bluff. A
comploto system of mains nnd smaller
pipes was iam, reacning every pan oi me
estate. A dynamo was Installed In the
water tower to furnish power to run
pumping machinery tho extra space In the
structure finished off Into bll lard and club
rooms nnd tho tower was given ao orna-
mental nn appearance as possible. Then
an engineer was Installed and the town
authorities wero notified to disconnect their
... muui mo runt-nun pruin-ny.
ror lour years menu privoio worss nave
supplied obundant water to tho Fullerton
gardens. True, tho Interest on tho money
lnvpstcd In the system amounted to more
each year than tho water bills had In for-
mor years, to say nothing of tho salary

penscs. hut .Mr. i-ullcrtou had carried bis

"When 1 was a boy," euld the veteran to
a Now York Times man, "I remember there
wus an ayrful scandal In our town-o. little
country placebecauso a temporary grave-
digger, who had been hired to do the work
when tho regular hand wna 111, burled a
man with his feet to the west. Oura was
a religious, as well aa a superstitious town,
Among tho older people thero wrns a well-
grounded bollef that a person must bo In-1
terrod with his feet to the east, bo thnt
when Gabriel's trumpet should Bound for
the final awakening the dead should be able
to face the angol on arlslnir. This new
gravedlgger couldn't havo known tho tradl-
tlon, or ho would not hnvo flown In tho
iaco or superstition and hurled his victim
wtth his feet to tho west. Tho thing made
such a scandal that thoy actually dlsln-
terred tho body and turned th" cofnn around
so that tho dead man should rest In tho
right position. Of course, tho new grave-
digger lost his Job. I don't know thnt I
havo thought of the Incident for a long

tary a short time ago to nttend tho burial

aawneii on mo iniu tncro had been a change
In the superstition, and that It had nrob-
ably been wholly lost to Bight, as'huvo so
many of tho old ones. I noticed thnt tho
direction In, which bodies are burled now
seems to be settled by the direction of tho
path In front or the plat you own; that Is,
that Interments nro mado with tho feoi
pointing toward tho path, no matter 'n
what conipuss direction they may point."

A Sew Intlnntrr
The production of tin In the United States
Is now to be an accomplished fact. A num
bcr of prominent men havo associated them'
selves together and havo already acquired
rich tin-bearing property In tho far-famed
region of the Iilack Hills, In Dakota. The
Intention is to erect custom concentrating
plants nnd treat tho ores of mine owners
generally, reducing them so that they con
tain only block tin that Is, metallic tin and
oxygen In combination and In this form
ship tho product east for reduction Into
metallic form.
America now leads the world In tho pro
ductlon of nearly nil menumorals, and it
Is encouraging to nolo tbe fact that tin Is
now likely to bo added to the list. Tho
tlmo appears most propitious for such an
enterprise, nB tho world's supply is rapidly
decreasing, and tbo necessities of modern
civilization make an Increasing demand;
this has caused an Increase of over 100
per cent In tho price of block tin In three
years.
Tho consumption in tbo United States
has Increased from 39,000,000 pouuds In
1894 to over 71,000,000 pounds last year,
w-r.lle tne price has advanced from IS cents
in 1597 to an average of 28 cents in 1900.
This large increase in consumption has been
caused by the great growth of the tlnplato
Industry. The United States now leads tho
world In this industry; all tho block or me-
talllc tin, nowever, Is now Imported. With
tno production of metallic tin in America
the tinplate Industry will reallxe a greater
impetus. Ilecent discoveries and examlna-
tlons show that the tin deposits of South
Dakota are among tho richest known, some
containing twice as mucn of tno metal as Is
contained In the celebrated Cornish mines,
11 Is also of a quality superior to most,
neing exceptionally tree irom impurities.

racmber8 of tno corarattee Is In possession
of a cop. ot the comprorage bm 'designed

not pasalble to Incorporate portlonB of this
iiiu into tho South Omaha charter. As
introduced ilin Smith rimnhn M,,t.,, n0
for n majority petition for paving, grading
nna other Improvements. Tho Omaha com-
promise bill provides that the council shall
order such Improvements as grading, pav-
ingl etc., only when n potltlon purporting
t0 bo signed by n majority of pronerty
owners is presented. This petition must

two officials must show that the noMHm,

'ntnge. A copy of the petition, with tbo
names nnd descriptions of the property,
n.usi DO puDlWticU In the Olllclal paper Of
tho city for five consecutive days. This
bill further provides that no Improvements
shall be finally ordered or a contract let
for tho same until after tho publication
of the petition, nor until twenty days after
such publication. Thus twenty dayB aro
given for the filing of protests. After tho
expiration of tbo twenty days protests can-
not be filed nnd the legality of tho special
tax levied for such improvement cannot be
questioned.
It is understood here that leading attor-
neys have asserted that the Omaha bill in
connection with this matter Is absolutely
Ironclad and cannot be attacked in tbe
courts with any effect after the provisions
have been carried out by tbo property
owners and tne city.
This paving and grading proposition Is
a serious one with South Omaha, as nearly
every paving district In the city has been
attacked and probably $160,000 In special
taxes havo been declared lllcesl. One
member of the council said yesterdny that
It will bo necessary before long to Issue
general Indebtedness bonds for tho uni
noso of paying tho Interest and bonds on
tho districts where tho court has held that
tho special tax levy was vo.d.
An effort Is being made by a larce num
her of South Omaha citizens to secure the
passage of a bill through the legislature
providing for tho reassessment of the taxes
in paving and grading districts where th
tax has been held Illegal. It appears that
a majority would like to see this measure
passed In order that the property owners

It Is understood thnt tho men who quit

She is a blessing to all who know her, and her devotion to her duties is not lessened a particle by

drudgery nnd worry which poison her soul. Yet, this woman need not evade one
jot of her duty, and she can still be the inspiration of the home, the forcmobt in its
joy, the steadying influence in its sorrows. Sick women cannot understand how
this can be so. Their days seem filled with every possible anxiety, and they
cannot sec how great their failure is.
GREENE'S NERVURA
Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy opens the eyes
of these women. It not only gives them calm judgment it gives
them health and strength, new ways to do things, new plans for the
day, new hopes, stronger determination to succeed ; these exper
iences come to the mind with the early influence of
renewed strength. Presently a day of real satisfaction
aud comfort comes and the work of cure goes steadily on.
The opportunities of women arc boundless. It is not
necessary for them to go out and hunt for them, they
widen out with every accomplishment. The bright rays
of a happy home circle presided over by a happy, health',
capable woman shed a radiance over an ever increasing
Geld. The firstduty of every woman is to get her health, and
Dr. Greene's Nervura is the Remedy which
flakes Women Well and Strong.

of this wonderful medicine before my eyes were cleared of their

stronger every day until I am now well and able to do my own
work. I cannot do half justice in the praise of this medicine, and

Unrecorded Mnttern HejiiirdliiK Mm.
Lincoln's llelntlves.
Our most up-to-dufo histories and ency
clopedias aro silent on tho subject of Presi
dent Lincoln's wlfe'H relations, the Todds.
Wo all know that she wua the daughter of
Ilobert S, Todd, relates tho Now York
Press, but few are aworo that her three
brothers and her sister were nfllllatcd with
tho south during tho civil war. Dr. Todd,
a practicing physician of Ilurnwcll, S, C
died about a month and a half ngo, re
spected by all who knew his gentle charac
ter. I bellovo ho was Mrs. Lincoln's second
brother. Her sister was married to n Mr.
Mooro of Bclma, Ala., nnd Mrs. Moore's
daughters, nieces of tho martyr president,
presented tv flag of their own handiwork
to tho Bel ma Guards on the evo of their
departure for tho Bcone of war.
Another of Mm. Lincoln's brothers waa
aldo-dc-camp, with the rank of colonel, on
tho staff of General Sam Jones, a noted
confederate officer. After tho buttle of
Manassus tho southern army went Into win
ter quartern nt Centervllle, Vn., nnd one nf
tho regular visitors nt headquarters of tho
Eighth Georgia regiment was Colonel
Todd. Cards und conviviality were the
chief attrncUon. A small game and u fa
miliar Jug wero In attendance ovcry oven
lng. Todd wnB Inclined, however, lo pro
faulty and cro long tho officers nf the fa
mous Georgia regiment wearied of his pres
ence. Ono of his pleasantries wno to sjieuk
disparagingly of "Old Abe," his brother-in-law,
whom he mado thn butt nf Joko und
Jest. It was g'onerully understood In tho
encampment at Centervllle thnt his bll'ot
on General Jones' staff was obtained
through tho prestige of his relatlonshlp-Iti
law to Mr. Lincoln.
Colonel Todd, being u Into sitter, his
hostn put their heads together to ilevlso
n ncheme for getting rid of him. In this
they wero usslsted by tho body sorvunt of
Major S., a faithful negro of the name of
Tippecanoe, called "Tip" for short. The
tent wns warmed by a Btove, the pipe of
which went horizontally through tho can
vas at tho rent. Then, by means of mi el
bow, ascended vertically to a point some
three feet ubove tbo rldgo pole. At the
slightest sign of distress Tip would slip out
unobserved nnd place nn empty burrej on
top of the pipe. All draught being shut
oft tho Htovo would smoko furiously, soon
filling the tent to suffocation. Todd would
cough and choke awhile, "oubh out" th".
Infernal apparatus and, remarking, "Well,
I reckon I'll go to bed," depnrt for his
quarters. The moment ho was out of sight
Tip would remove the barrel nnd presently
tho old stove would be doing Its pN'usnntcsi
agan. If Colonel Todd Is allvo ho may
read hero for the first lime of the diabolical
plan of tho officers of tho Eighth Ocnrglu
to send him to bed. Tip still lives nnd I
drslro no keener enjoyment than listening
to his account of tho nightly proceedings
around Centervllle
