egram to THE Bee Josephine Extine, the
young lady who was sent to Jail from here
last Saturday, it seems from the evidence
brought out at her trial, had become enraged
at somo mistreatment, real or imaginary,
which the teacher, n Miss Cora Schmelka,
had inflicted upon some members of her fam
lily and had visited the school with the inten-
tion of wreaking her vengeance on the Of
Tending teacher. She entered the school
room and in no very mild language began
abusing Miss Schmeka for not allowing
their their children to occupy some
certain seat in the room and,
becoming rather loud in her abuse,
one Of the larger boys of the school attempted
to eject her, but the teacher would not allow
the boy to do So This so enraged the already
frenzied woman that she stampeded the
school ana slapped the teacher first on one
cheek and then on the other, two or three
times. Upon being arrested and brought be-
fore Justice Homer. she declared that she
would not be tried before this justice and he
informed her that she would have to make
out her aflidavits for a change. This she re-
fused to do, when, as before stated, she was
sent to Jail.

from the three parties. These men are
elected for five years. They are

there is from decision Of the United States

"Hereafter. II player thinks he has not
been treated justly he can act independently

guilty of some act that the board thinks
prejudical to the interests Of baseball the

These are the leading questions, aud until a

pendents are the attacking party, and tho
opposition is waiting for them to show their

and the motel lobbies have been full of men
anx iously seeking information about the
programme for the contest. The republican,

of the line of action agreed upon in the camp
of the enemy, and as the opposition policy Is
defensive one the conference adjourned

Orders were received at the quartermas-
tcr's department last night to forward ten
days ratious for the troops now stationed at
Pine Ridge and 10 the vicinity.
This order is believed to havea special sig
nihcance and to indicate that the trouble
with the Indians Is not as near at an end as
has been thought. A few days ago orders
were given to discontinue the sending of ra-
tions to the troops now in the field, as ar
rangements were being made TO have them
returned to their pective posts as rapidly
as possible.
The new order indicates that the troops
will not be withdrawn from the agency as rap
idly as was intended.
