, ST. PAUL, Sept. 4.-The Pioneer Press
special from Pierre, S. D., says: The
election of Pierre as the capital of South
Dakota bids fair to create boom which
will outrival that Of Oklahoma last spring.
Strangers are flocking into the city by
thousands. Over $500,000 worth of pro

which could have been bought week
ago for $500 were sold ta-day for $1,000.
FROM TACOMA.
TACOMA, Oct. AT conference to-
day between Union Pacific and Northern
Pacific railway men, an agreement was
arrived at whereby the Union Pacific,
which is now building from Port Town
send to Portland, will cross the Northern
Pacific at point between Chehalis and
Winlock, at the town of Eleanor.
The location IS very eligible one, from
railroad standpoint. Of course the
junction of these two roads will make a
town of considerable importance.
THE SPOKANE RELIEF STORES.
SPOKANE FALLS, Wn., Oct. 4.-The pro-
secution in the case of Policeman William
Gillespie, on examination before Justice
Dunning on charge of grand larceny of
relief supplies, completed the examina-

case. The defense, ON cross-examnaton,
intl loduced large number of orders
which had been filled and signed by per-
SONS not members of the relief committee,
on whose orders alone supplies were to be
issued. Harry Hayward, who had charge
of the supplies, testified that he never
filled such orders, and that If they were
filled it was by his employees on their own
responsibility.
The attorneys for the defense main
tanned that 1t was free pitch in for
everybody and that Gillespie pitched IN
with the rest. They also raised the point |
that as the goods were taken by defend
ant on different occasions, be was only |
guilty of petty larceny in each case; that
these several cases could not be linked |
toge' her to constitute grand larceny.
| The point was overruled.
