soon as elected, adopted the course of

well that they gave away more offices

REDFIELD, Dak.. Nov. 30.-The an
nouncement was made to-day that c. g..
Winchell, treasurer of Sphinx county,
has left for parts unknown and is de-
faulter. The fact was made known by
letter received by his deputy this aft
erno0n and written by Mr.. Winchell
last Sunday. The letter was inclOsed in
a Ryan hotel, st. Paul, envelope and ev
identity was mailed on the train. The
substance of the letter is that Winchell
is short in his accounts and had not the
courage to face the music. The news
came like thunderbolt to the COM
mnnity. MIR. Winchell has held the
Office for four years, and has always
ranked high as an official and gentle
men. He was reelected two years ago
by small majority. AT that time he
was an ardent advocate of Ashton for
the county seat, and spent money Law
ishiy in the campaign. 1t was then
charged that
HE WAS USING COUNTY FUNDS
to further his own and AshtOn's
chances, and although an investigation
was talked of, nothing ever came of it,
and the report regarding crookednesS
was generally discredited. There is
now no doubt that the shortage has ex-
listed ever since that time, although the
public examiner looked his accounts
over last summer and reported every
thing correct. Winchell has resided in
this city since the removal of the county
seat here two years ago. Previous to
that time he lived OH and ran a large
stock farm in the northeast part of the
county. His wife and child left here
something over month ago Ostensibly
to spend the winter with friends in the
East. The exact amount of the short
age is not known, but Deputy Kiser es-
Inmates il at $4,000. A special session
OF the county commissioners has been
called for tomorrow, when an inyesti-
cation will be had.

National Agreement.


PIrrsBURG. Nov. So.-The joint board
of arbitration of the National Eeaguo|
and American Base Ball association

changes in the national agreements
besides transacting some other busi-
ness. Section 2, paragraph A.
relative to contracts with players. was
changed so as to read "Nor shall any
player, without the consent of the club
with which he is under contract, enter
into any negotiation or contract With
any other club, etc" Paragraph B was
changed to read: "Every regular con-
tract shall be registered and approved
by the secretary of the assOcja-
ton of which the contracting
club is member, who shaIfi
forthwith notify" etc. The last line OF

shall be reserved, was amended SO as 90
read: ''And such players, ..togetbeC
with all others, thereafter to be regH-
Iarly contracted with by such club
members, are and shall be ineligible to
contract with any other club member Of
either association party heretofore,
except as hereafter prescribed" An
amendment was made to Section
5, providing that in case of dis
bandment OF expulsion of club,
its players shall be released from
contract and reservation, but their
services shall at once be subject 10 ac-
ceptance of other clubs of the associa-
tion. Section was amended
so as to read: ''Each club, mem
Der of either association party
hereto. shall have exclusive
control Of its own territory, and no club

tiOn with any other club or team while

of arbitration, provided that in ease OF
the club employing such ineligible

STRIKERS SICK AT HEART.
Trains Are Moving at Indianapolis
And No Further Trouble is
Feared

And No Further Trouble is
Feared.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Nov. 30.-The
switchmen's strike developed nothing
startling to-day. The railroads were
busily at work. Trains are moving in
all the various yards with about the
usual rapidity and regularity. The
strike, practically exists now only in
name, as the roads have all the new
men they care to employ at present. 1t is
noticeable that only about two-thlrds of
the places vacated have been filled; the
roads are getting along with this re-
duced force, even though they are green
hands. 1t is thought the other places
are being kept open for the strik-
ers when they shall ask to go
back to work. The joint committee of
engineers, firemen and brakemen, did
not meet the superintendent to-day.
The superintendent express the set
tied conviction that there is not the
slightest danger of serious strike
among the engineers. The conservative
element of that brotherhood, they
think. will prevent any rash measures
by the hotheads, as they term them, or
at least will refuse to strike with them.
binding force of the contract which eX-
lists between most of the companies and
their engineers. This provides that OH
condition the companies pay certain
scale of prices and observe other speci-
fed regulations, the engine men will
not strike, except in case of grievances
of their own, and then not until a
stated time of warning has been given.
In the face of this written agreement
the superintendent say they have no
fear of serious trouble with their en-
gineers. The brakemen have all along
shown the most profound sympathy for
the strikers, and the supepintendentS
will not be greatly surprised it they yet
join the strike, though they do not eX-
pect them to do SO. The strikers ap-
pointed committee to-day to go among
the business men and solicit money to
help sustain them, but thus far the COM
mittee has met with indifferent sue
cess. Barney Baldwin, the man with
broken neck, who exhibits himself
throughout the country, has taken
great interest in the cause of the Strik-
ing switchmen. and went before the
mayor and superintendent OF police
to-day and tried to persuade them to
arrest the men who were coming from
other points to take the strikers places.
Barney thought it an outrage that the
strikers should be left out in the cold,
and was considerably chagrined at his
failure to convert the mayor to his views
of the situation.

NEBRAsKA's OFFERING.
Loup City Proposing a Unique
Present for Harrison.

i, LoUp CITY. Neb., Nov. S0.-Loup
City is preparing unique present for
Harrison, the railway
company furnishing car on which 1T
is to be constructed-a typical sod
house. Two paintings will accompany
the house. one representing Nebraska
in 1860, some pioneers with an old coach
and OK team attacked by Indians; the
other depicting scenes of 1888, growing
grain, farm house, train of cars and
other evidences of prosperity. The
legends that will accompany the car run
as follows; "Loup City sends the Offer
ings of respect and esteem to the presi-
dent-elect. In 1860 the Republicans
declared that the Union must be pre-
served; in 1883 that the commercial in
terests of the country must be protected:
In 1860 Nebraska had $4,000 people and
no railroads; in 1888, 100000 people
and 5000 miles of railroad.'
The intent of the whole is to convey
some idea of the progress made in this
prairie state.

he can also break the record. G. Smith

record, $50 miles. He will go off the
track shortly after II O'Clock, and
sleep an hour and half. From that

retiring. "Old Sport' Campana caused

PUGILIsTs IN PERIL.
A Drunken Tough Attempts to
Assassinate Kifrain or Mitch

WASHINGTON, d. e., Nov. 30.-Some
excitement was caused in Kiernan's
theater last night by what is regarded
as an attempt on the life of Jake Kill
rain or Charley Mitchell, by John w.
Robinson, an intoxicated occupant Of
one of the boxes. The men had just
been introduced when shot was fired
from the rear of box in the second
tier, which, whistling past the heads of
those in front, buried itself in the seen
cry at the right of the stage. A police
man who rushed into the box caught
Robinson in the act of laying smoking
revolver on the floor behind him. He
was arrested, as was also Henry G.
Gray, who accompanied him. Both men
were taken to the First precinct station.
Here the revolver was found to be
heavy weapon of 3S-caliber and having
two of the five chambers empty. Rob-
inson has created some trouble before,
and the police had been informed of the
fact several days ago that he had been
carrying a revolver, with which he had
threatened several people. Whether he
had any ill-feeling toward Kilrain or
Mitchell could not be ascertained, as he
was too intoxicated to converse intelli-
gently.

he had driven the couple to Davenport,
