SIX CORPsES IN SIGHT.
Meaxer Particulars Of Bloody Political
Eoud in Texas.

DENVER, July liza telegram just re-
ceived by the Ncscs from Ysbeta. Tex,
says pitched battle is in progress there
between two local factions. both of which
claim control of the town government.
They held an election in April. and each
side claimed the election of their ticket.
Both mayors and councils were sworn in,
and the town has had two governments
since. One party, led by an intelligent
Mexican, was called the Peoples party. and
the other, led by Jew named Gaal, was
called the Republican party. Several
fights have resulted. and it has been ex-
pected that the trouble would culminate in
the bloody fight which took place tonight.
LATER-A special says the fight at
Ysbeta has ceased, but both sides hold
their ground, and it is impossible for any
one to venture out to discover the number
OF dead or wounded. The telegraph opera
tor there wires that he can count six dead
bodies from his Office window.

HOME RULE FOR CATHOLICS.
The Fine Italian Hand of the Propa-
ganda Weak ening.

ST.. LOUIS, july ia special cablegram
to the Western Watchman brings news from
Rome that the propaganda has arrested
the appointment of Bishop Bourke as
bishop of the combined diocese of Omaha
and Cheyenne.
The Importance of the news arises from
the fact that it is evident the propaganda
will not sanction Roman appointment as
against the recommendation of congress
OF American bishops. On Bishop O'Con-
nor's death the bishops of the province
were called together and sent three names
to Rome from which TO choose a successor.
1t was believed Vicar-General Philip
Brady, of st. Louis, would get the ap-
pointment The bishops will again rec
ommend Brady. The selection of Bourke
showed unprecedented disregard for
American bishops recommendations and
it is thought his non-confrmation indicates
that the time for arbitrary government OF
American church promotions by the Ital-
ian propaganda has passed.

OF fact, every word Of Mr.. Crosby's is
false. and the Pioneer Press does Mr..
Lind an injustice to publish his inter.
view. In the first place, we have it di-
rect from Luverne, that Mr.. Crosby's
influence doesn't amount to row Of
pins. In speaking of Lind as he does,
he does not represent the Republican
sentiment cf Luverne, let alone that of
the whole district, and, when he says
that the present congressman could not
be renominated in opposition to any
other good man, he is wide of the mark.
The whole truth is, that the good Re-
publican leaders of the district have
too much confidence in Lind's ability
to even think of stepping in his way.

The Champion Day.

Saturday last was a gala day at Sa-
cred Heart. The Tribune reporter was
there and in common with everybody,
celebrated the grand event of many a
day. The occasion for this hilarlty
was the delivery of Champion Machines
to farmers-about SO purchased at this
point. The rain did not interfere with
people coming in to get their machines
and enjoy regular festival. The Oil.
via band was present to enliven the
scene and enthuse the town. The pro-
cession formed at 4 O. o'clock, headed by
Mr.. Thompson carrying banner with
this inscription: champion sleads
them all. The band came next, fol-
lowed by a Champion Binder set up
ready for work. A string of..teams fol-
lowed, all having a Champion loaded on
wagons. The scene was charming and
weird. The town was in its glory and
free was marked on everything.
Such day is long to be remembered
and the Champion folks surely scored
victory. Granite Falls Tribune.

The Eagle Did Not Scream.

No, the Eagle did not scream in New
Clm on the tourth, further than to
bring to the minds Of all that the day
was really national one. Aside from
little noise, in the way of shooting OF
tire-crackers and toy pistols, the day
was wonderfully quiet. Here and there
one might see some young man Of twen-
ty years or more HE himself off to some
quiet spot with one lone bunch of fire.
crackers, and there shoot them off one
by one al intervals of five minutes each,
managing to amuse himself immensely
Herewith, and to make the single bunch
last him all day. Others, of course
with a greater deal ofapatriotism could
be found, who were less spare in their
celebration, but on the whole the day
lacked to a great degree the enthusiasm
and racket which is customary to the
observance of the anniversary of inde-
pendence. In other respects, however,
there was all the appearance of festive
holiday. A clear sky, with weather
that was cool and refreshing, afforded
relief from the oppressive heat of the
week previous that YVES appreciated,
and hundreds relaxed the cares of busi-
ness and sought the places of amuse-
ment to celebrate the glorious day in a
manner that was quiet and sensible and
that possessed a happy freedom from
all the noisy demonstration and uproar
that is so common on the Fourth. Many,
to be sure, went to neighboring towns,
but those who remained would do so
again, if a like opportunity offered.
The only public exercises were car
ried out as announced in the former is

ance as it paraded the streets. and

cises in jumping. running, and bowling
were held at both Turner Hall Park
and Schmucker's. In the evening Davy
Crockett was presented by home talent,
after only one or two rehearsals, to a
large audience at Turner Hall, and
dances were indulged in in all the halls
Taking it all in all, it was probably the
very best way Of spending the day, and
the entire absence of fires and accidents
speaks we'll for the character of the
celebration.

Fourth Of July Accidents.

While in New Ulm no unhappy &C
cidents or rowdy scenes occurred to
mar the pleasures of the Fourth. other
places were not so fortunate. At St.

partly darkened by shooting affray, IN
which one man attempted cold -blooded
murder upon fellow-being. Without
proyocation and while drinking togeth.

near St. Peter, but who at the time of
the shooting gave it out that his home
was at Lake Crystal. The man, who
fired the shots, was an old farmer

Up at Springfield there were a couple
of sad occurrences. During the blind
folded and wheelbarrow race, runa-

Chas. Cornish's, of Selmore, was
thrown from a buggy and seriously in

young man named Albert Anderson,
who rode one of the horses, was unable
to manage the animal and was carried
from the track and hurled against a
tree. An examination showed that his
