Judge Jere Black, in an interview
at Pittsburg, yesterday, very sensibly
says: Every State must legislate for
itself on the labor question. The la
boring man must be protected; that
is, capitalists must not be allowed to
cut down the wages of their employees
below starvation prices. This is done
too often now. There are growing
huge monopOlies that are grinding the
life out of their employees"

fund which vas used In the defense of

in its last issue on the conviction Of

the trial the party of violence will
henceforth be supreme 10 Irish politics.
The paper declares hat O'Don nell's
killing of Carey was the boldest
engagement Of history and most hon.
orable, and that his conviction by the
usual English hanging jury and an in
evitably partisan English judge, has
put an end forever in the Irish mind
to all hopes of even obtaining ordinary
justice from E~nglishmen, declaring
that it will never again raise a lent to
defend any Irishmen in the British
court law, and will never contribute or
advocate the contribution Of any more
money unless it be for the purpose of
striking terror into the heart of the
overgrown bastard that hesitates at no
crime to maintain the iniquities of
power, The editorial says that O'Don-
nell will nj doubt be hanged December
II. The Irish ace failed to save him,
it must not fail to avenge him. The
editorial further says that England
shows no mercy and that Ireland will
no longer show any, and while England

A BLOODY FIGHT.
A Cattieman Kills Another With Shot
gun and Revolver.

On Tuesday, December A, Valentine,
Neb., was the scene Of another shoot
ing ARRAY. This time it was between
Johnny Smith, a cattleman who is well
known throughout the northwest, and
j. J.. Hamlin, formerly in the employ
of a cattle company as stock inspector
at Valentine. These parties had not
been ON friendly terms for some time,
owing to the in which Hamlin
had treated his wife, who is a sister of
Mrs. Smith. Both Mr.. and Mrs. Smith
have used their utmost power to per-
suade Mrs. HamliD to live apart from
her husband (she had left him several
times during the summer because of
several whippings she had received at
his hands, but with no success, al
though they had offered her a home
with them as long as she cared to re-
main. This caused Hamlin to be angry
with Smith, and all who were acquaint-
ed with him were of the opinion that
he would endeavor to do something
desperate.
A few days ago Mr.. and Mrs. Smith,
with their small child, visited the east
ern part of the state, returning home
Monday evening. 1t appears that
Hamlin expected them on that train, so
he went to O'Neill and got on board.
Just after dark, when the train was in
the vicinity of Long Pine, he suddenly
rushed forward, grabbed Smith by the
throat, and attempted to knife him
right then and there. Smith clinched
him, and at that moment a brakeman
rushed forward with drawn revolver
and separated the combatarts, compell-
ing Hamlin to go into another car.
Here he made the most dire threats,
the substance being that he would
shoot Smith on sight-that the country
wasn't large enough to hold the two of
them. No further trouble was ex-
perienced that night, but when Ham
lin arrived in Valentine he sent word
for Smith to meet him the following
Tuesday morning at a point about a
mile south of town, where they would
endeayor to settle their difficulties and
he would forever leave the place. But
Smith was Of the opinion that 1t was
only a dodge to catch him
and murder him In cold blood. go he
asked three or four of his friends to

would come of it. The party left on
horseback a few minutes before 10, and
discovered Hamlin out on the prairie
waiting for them. Smith rode up
ahead of the gentlemen who left town
with him, and as he came within pistol
shot Hamlin fired two shots at him, and
springing into his saddle, dashed away
firing into the crowd, who scattered in
