SOUTH DAKOTA NEWS.
A D~cadwood Sensation.

DrADwooD, July 7.-Grace Nieman,
better known in this city as Grace Fraw.
ley, has created a sensation by filing a
complaint before Police Judge Hall,
charging Henry Frawley and j. T..
LATER with assault and battery. Henry
Frawley e n 81 tho best known Grim
inai LAWYERS in South Dakota. lie has
lived with the woman Grace for the past
year. Six months ago hegaye her money
and clothing and sen her to a convent
at Cincinnati. Grace had only been
away n short time whCn she heard that
Erawley was about 10 marry another
woman. She returned to Deadwood
ut once and although she has
not lived with the attorney she has
made it very warm for him on different
occasions, On Thursday evening she
entered Frawley's law Office. Frawley,
his brother Jim, j.. y. LATER, his steno-
grapher, and a woman, said to be Miss
Anderson, were there. Grace always
carries a revolver and tho men were
afraid she would shoot. Frawley and
LATER made an effort to get the gun and
a desperate struggle ensued. In the
gcutfio the woman was badly bruised on
the arm and limbs. She will testify in
the courts that LATER held her while
Frawley pounded and kicked her.
Some sensational developments are
likely to be divulged when the case
zones to trial.

CHINA WILL RETALlATE.

Minister Tsul Talks Freely About the Ex-
ciusion Policy.
WASHINGTON, July 11.-Nothing OF
late years has created so much of a SEN
sation in diplomatic circles as the
length y%interview had by a New York
reporter a few days ago with the
Chinese minister, in which the latter.
who has just returned from Europe, ex-
pressed himself freely regarding the
policy Of this government towards
Chinese immigrants, and broadly de-
clared that unless more pacific counsels
prevailed and q modification of the
exclusion law was secured the Chinese
government would retaliate against this
country. 1t Is altogether contrary to
precedent for a foreign minister to
make public the business or intentions
OF his government other than by an of.
fetal communication to the secretary OF
state, and tho opinion 10 freely ex-
pressed in diplomatic circles that Ii the
example set by Minister Tsui were rem
orally followed ii might be productive
of innumerable difficulties between this
and other countries. The partially
qualified denial OF portions Of the in
terview which has been made by the
Chinese minister only tends to Indicate
that in tire main 1t reflected his views
and the instructions which have been
given him for the information OF the
state department.

ton was freely discussed, and a motion

sented a holiday appearance for several
days, and has been the chief point Of at
traction in South Dakota. The annual
encampment of the Lake Madison Vet
Grams association, beginning on the Sd,

MRS. CARTER STILL HAS A CHANCE.
Her Case WIN Go to tho Illinois Supreme

Her Case win Go to the Illinois Supreme
Court--she Hopes for vindication.
CHICAGO, July 12.-As q result of the
disagreement of the appellate court on
the appeal Of Mrs. Leslie Carter from
the court below granting her husband u
divorce and the custody of their only
child, the case must now &c to the state
supreme court, where q final decision
will be rendered. Eminent lawyers who
have examined the dissenting opinion
filed by Judge Moran, which, while
dealing purely with the case from O
legal point of view, is decidedly in her
favor, express the opinion without hest
tation that the supreme court, is almost
certain to set aside the divorce and send
the case back for another trial. The
dissenting decision of Judge Moran,
which points out q score of in
stances in which injustice was
done to Mrs. Carter upon tho original
trial. is clear and comprehensive. while
the affirming decision Of Judge Gary in
dicates, it is claimed, that he has been
influenced in no small degree by the X
~traordinary and bitter prejudice and
hostility which surrounded the unfortu-
nate woman at the time of the trial Of
the divorce case in this city and which
seemed to extend from the Judge on the
bench to the very bailifs in charge of
the courtroom. Judge Moran cites q
score Of decisions in the court below di-
rected against Mrs. Carter, any ono of
which were irregular and contrary to
law and precedent and any one OF which
would DO sufficient 10 warrant tho set
ting aside of the verdict. 1t
is said that should the SUI
preme court reverse the decision
of the jury the case will be fought out
just as bitterly as before. Tho original
trial cost Leslie Carter 800, 900 and his
vito half that figure. Dispatches from
New York. where Mrs. Carter is living
very quietly with her mother prepara-
tory TO her advent on the stage, say
that she has been given renewed hope
by Judge Moran's decision and is conf
dent that the final outcome of the case
will yindicate her not only in the eyes
OF her personal associates and friends
but in those of the American people,
who have been made familiar with the
story of her domestic trials by the elab-
crate newspaper publications of the
past twelve months.

Don't Want TO lie Counted.

PIERRE, july s.-Today promises to
be the most interesting day in the his
tory of the reservation, for the author
tiles there have made it known hat all
the Indians at the Cheyenne agency, as
well as all other agencies, will be sum-
moned there to draw ~rations and be
counted, when the new agent, Palmer.
will take charge. The Indians object
strongly to the census, believing it will
work injury to them by showing their
numbers are gradually growing less, and
that the government thus intends foul
play by cutting down their r~ations.
Several large bands have declared
they would not be present, and the sol
diers at Fort Sully are prepared for in
slant service. Big Foot, the hostile
chief, told the agent that his people
would have to receive their rations at
the sub-agency on Cherry creek, or else
there would be heap big fight" He is
a bad Indian and has always made trou-
bic, together with Hump, whenever he
could. Some serious fun is anticipated,

FIRE NEARLY DESTROYS A TOWN.
over 100 Families Rendered Homeless
on a West Indian Island.

Over 100 Families Rendered Homeless
on u West indian Island.
PoRT OF SPAIN, July 1.-THE de-
tails concerning the destruction June 90
OF the town of Fort Defiance in the
French Island OF Martinique have just
reached here. Immediately after tho
catastrophe Governor Case, Of Martin
ique, sent an appeal for assistance TO
the governor of Trinidad, assuring him
that three quarters Of the town had
been burned and that moro than 5000
persons were without homes or food.
The legislative council Immediately
sent 81, 600 in aid of the sufferers on the
morning OF June %. On receipt of the
news of the fro at Fort Defiance two
steamers with men and pumps on board
were sent from st. Pierre and on their
arrival at Fort Defiance at about 1880
the whole seaboard was in flames. Tie
fire had destroyed everything within
the space OF ove 100 yards up TO the
river Madame. 1t was not until the
woodwork Of the presidents office had
caught fire that the pumps arrived and
organized measures were adopted to
save the buildings, which, after an
hours hard struggle, was accomplished.
Meanwhile the cathedral was in flames
and was o In ruins.
The panic now became general.
Women and children were screaming
and running hitler and thither, and
furniture was being thrown out of win
dows into the streets until they became
almost impossible. At tho last mo-
ment. when 1t was too late, dynamite
was employed to arrest the progress OF
the fire. Terrific explosions we're heard
and whole blocks Of buildings were seer
to fall, killing some and ~wounding
many persons.
AT night the fire had consumed every
thing between the Rue du Fosse and
the sea and between the van and
River Madame. At about 10 p. m. the
houses at the bottom of the Rue du
Government were attacked, and only by
strenuous efforts were the Presbyterian
church and gendarmerie saved. Had they
fallen the whole town must have been
consumed. 1t was right there that the
progress OF the flames was stayed.
The sightnextmorning was pitifnl and
narrowing in the extreme. The savanna
was strewn with odds and ends. in the
midst of which we're camped the whole
population, suffering from hunger,
thirst and cold, for in the early morn
ing rain had fallen, chilling to the bone
those unfortunate people who had no
other shelter than that afforded by the
trees.
The loss is very considerable, !, ZOO
houses having been destroyed, valued
at IL, 00o, 900 francs (S2, 400, 000), and
furniture valued at 5000, 900 francs,
making q total loss OF 50, 900, 900. 1t Is
impossible at this moment to tell the
number Of victims. Twelve bodies
have, however, been recovered, many
charred beyond recognition and others
fearfuliy mutilated. Fifteen soldiers
are receiving attention at the hospital,
many OF them seriously, and one, 1t is
said, fatally wounded. Fully three
quarters of'the town is destroyed and
seven-eighths OF the inhabitants are
homeless. Various British West India
islands have aided with grants Of O
their afflicted sister colony.
