This Dr. Bil- lings in the past fow months has intro- duced himself very numerously through long winded art in the State Journal that haye fidoded the columns of the aper with articles set 1n nonpareil that en full scope to the expansive ideas of the doctor, who has run the thing until even his associates were tived. ‘This, however, was harm nusement on the part of the doctor, but he lately branched off into a set of vag: in the shape of recommendations that 1f they were hstened to and adopted, would involve a bili of expense upon the State to look after its animal industries that would be fairly enormous. Of course thes opinions are brought out n a way to quietly whack at the ock commission nd rth, the state veterinarian, and look as though Billmgs was trying to carn his sulary by attacking e commission, which is in its work practieal, where the Billings theories are toolish. The live stock commission with Dr. Gerth are hard at work and accomplishing a great deal of good, as the rocord of their work shows, and to those who pay attention to te uni- the long winded articies of Billings the conviction becomes deep-seated that the regents had better expend the money in his salary in some more b y than the airing of theories and at tacks upon the commission SEEKING ADVICE ‘T'he steward of the hospital for the in- ane was at the state house yesterday cking advic He stated to the Bi representative that the son of Di.

Sitting at the Grand hotel last evening I heard one of the strangest romances of modern times—strange bes it was true, suys a writer in the Cincinnati Comme: Gazette. How do you know it was true?

But to the sto As near as L now remember, it ran as fol- ows 1n 1847 I was a steward on the Golden Age, ono of the finest passenger boats that plied between Cineinnati and New Orleans. It was in the days before rail- roads and telegrams and when slavery was at itg prime. Well, one day a strap- ping negro entered my office, just as we were about to sail, and asked me how I would like to go into a speculation with him that would ke us a good deal of money, L was young then, and willing to do most anything to make money that was honest, and 1 told him to proceed with his proposition. “Well,” le said, “it is as follows: 1 am as likely a negro as ean be found n these parts, T am a free man. What I want to do s for you to take me to New Orleans and sell me into siavery. Iam worth on It me and I will do_what is right with you.” His proposition took my breath away at first, it was so startlir “Do you want to go back into slavery¥ I asked, astonished, ““No, indeed, I does not,” he answered. And yet you want to be sold?*” “Sure, si*, but I'so a likely nigger, and I'll soon be back on your hands again 1 reasoned with the fellow in vain. He knew no way of making money 8o easi as being sold. 1 hesitated to appear in the role of a slave-dealer. I was opposed to slavery in every form, but as I thought over the Subjeet I coneluded there would be nothing wrong in selling the man, and the last moment yielded to his wishes and took him with me.

A VERY CLOSE RESEMBLANCE Narrow Esoape of a Man Who Looked Like a Noted Outlaw. HE WAS SAVED BY HIS TEN TOES. If He Had Had Only Nine Toes, and If His Head Had Been Smaller, He Would Have Been Lynched for Another's Orime. A trial growing out of a remarkable case of mistaken identity has been in pro- gress in the United States court at Mil- aukee, Wisconsin,during the past week. Late in the summer of 1881 the Wil liams brothers nd Lon, sometimes called Maxwell, noted outlaws, who had terrorized several western states, ap- peared in Durand, Pepin county, Wis., and after committing many depredations murdered two brothers named Coleman, who were seeking the apture. The excitement oyer this tragedy was very great, and, as the murderers were well known, nearly every able-bodied man for miles around turned out to assist in the search, For w t forests in the vicinity of nd were hunted, but no trace of the was to be found. One day, while the search was in pro- gress, a young man named Willinm Kuhl, who had been working as a farm hand in Tllinois, but who, a few ks before, had gone to Minnesota, arrived in Milwaukee from the north sick and out of money. He was on lis way to hisold home in Tlii- nois, but fearmg that he could not reach lis destination, he applied to a doctor for admission to a hosp Some ¢ being necessary, he concluded to w: about town for awhile, and when so do- ing he s accosted by a man who sved later on to be Deputy Sheriflt oding. This officer avpears”to have de up his mind at the first sight of Kuhl that he was none other than Lon Williams, and, wishing to get the heavy veward that was offered for the appre- hension of that outlaw, concluded to work a very shrewd game on the unsus- oecting Kuhl. Pretending to be gener- ously disposed, Greding seraped an quaintance with Kubl, and assisted him into the hospital, where he kept an eye on him for several days. Then he ap- peared one afternoon with a stranger, whom he mtroduced as a doctor, but who was really a keeper from the Joliet, 111, penitentiary. On the pretence that that the “‘doctor” had been summoned in 0od faith to treat Kuhl, who was really ill, that worthy made a critical inspection of the sick man’s body, and then en- n o whispered consultation with fing. The result was that Greding ‘i ped up to the bedside and informed Kuhl that the game_was up and that | was his prisoner. He suspeeted all along that he was Lon Williams and now he knew it, as the ‘“doctor,”” who had & description of Williams, taken when that desperado v in the Joliet prison, had fully identified him. While in the jail the county anthorities, wishing to make sure of théir man, had Kuhl’s beard shaved as Wiiliams had been when the pieture which they had of him was taken, and then, calling in a photographer, they picture of their risoner taken. ‘ihe two portr: almost identical, the resemblance so striking that Kuhl hin admitted “it. In addition similarity there were other points which were quite as noticeable. According to the Joliet prison record Williams had two rs on one of his thumbs, a three inches long across the right hand and two S nos Every one of these marks was found on Kuhl. Be- sides this, the record stated that one of Williams® front teeth was shorter than the others, having the appearance of hay- ing been worn oft, and Kuhl was found o have just such a tooth, Being an entire stranger here, and recognizing the desperate situation that he was in, Ruhl wrote and telearaphed to his relatives and friends in Illinois, but, as he claims that all these missives were destroyed by his captors, he received no replies. At length seves people from Pepin county arrived here and identitied Kuhl as Williams, ‘The greater part of the population of that section was still out on the man hunt, and enough was learned to convinee everybody that if the ora |)rc(ti‘ ir imitation of Lon inms should once appear there he would be given short shift. Fearing that he was to be n into the lumber country ath would certainly be meted out to him, Kuhl again begged that some one would aph to his friends This time his t appears to have been heeded, and as fast as expr ins could bring them half a dozen prominent men from central Hlinois, who were well acquainted with Kuhl came to town. On their arvival they w urprised to disco’ that all the ja! oflicials deniea any knowledge of a man named Kuhl. Believing that something was wrong,they employed attorneys and detectives, and soon loeated their man i the jail sweat box, where at length they succeeded in ining an interview h him. The authorities brought this to a speedy end, however, and Kubl's friends made ar- rangements to apply the next morning for a writ of habeas corpus. night there some lively tele- raphing between Milwaukee and Du- rand. The men frem the latter pla who had been here had returned and re ported that Williams was here, but just then some one in Durand happened to remember that Lon Williams had only four toes on one foot, the missing mem- ber having been amputated at Durand some years before by a local surgeon. This, occurring after the outlaw’s release from Joliet prison, was not, of course, on th erecords of that institution. Although the toe question would ordinanly have settled the man's identity, the is ice did not propose to let the last hope ard slip away so easily. The the unfortunate Kuhl made ke off his shoes and stockings and him t they counted his toes time and again. Tnere were ten of them and there was no evidence that any of them had ever been cutatall, While they were pondering over the matter a man from Pepin county who knew that Williams had ounly nme toes, having n present when one wis amput; me in and on” seeing Kuhl said at once that he was Lon Williams, but when he counted his toes he changed his mind. Then the Milwaukee officers began to think that there might be some wistake about the toe. 1f this man wa Williums in other respects, a toe wore or less ought not to count Knowing that legal proceedings would not be instituted for the release of the prisoner, and wishing to settle the matte in their own way, it was decided by the Milwaukee oflicials that Kuhl skould be taken to Pepin county without delay. It lacked but a few minutes of train time, and prepa ns for the trip were hur- riedly made. No friend of the prisouer knew anything sbout the move, and as he was well aware of the temper of the lumbermen at the e of the Williams tragedies he urally believed he was going to his death. IF he couid not con- vince sober.minded men Milwaukee that he was not Leon Williams he would have a poor chance of doing anything of that kind in a remote region where the }u'u ple were in a rage and were thirsti or blood. Under the escort of f armed deputies, who were in- structed to defend their prisoner with their lives, Kubl set out on the midnight train for the scene of the William's crime. uards learned at Camp s that tidings of his approach had od Durand, and that & mob of 1,000 SUITS. 60.00 W w 600 “ “ 5.00 MISFIT men had formed there preparatory to Iynching him. In view of this threaten ing state of affairs they took another rond and went to Menominee, where, with as little ado as possible, they sum moned the town to look upon tieir pri soner, Every man here said the resem blance to Williams was remarkable, but asall knew about the missing toe, and found that Kuhl had ten toes, it was agreed that he was not the man. A brother of the murdered Colemans then rame forward with a hat in his hand and pped it on Kuhl's head, but 1t did not it him. hi: Lon Williams' hat,”” he said, and this man can’t wear it. He is not the man.'” ends of Kuhl heard of his being spirtted away, and some of them followed on the next train, reaching Menominee i time to find the object of their search surrounded by hundreds of men, and the subject of much controversy. While nearly everybody declared that he was ot Williams, ther were some who anted » night scores of men who kaew the Williams boys well inspected him, and as they agreed t he was not the man, the Milwaukee off cers sorrowfully let him go. As they had no enarge against him, and had held him without even the authority of a warrant, his release was not necessarily a matter of form.
