TIL CASE OF Il

A Question Raised Never Passed Upon by
the United States Supreme Court.
In the cass of the State vs.. Byers
Judge Hunt yesterday decided that
Byers could be prosecuted for nm
offense charged against him after
his return within the jurisdiction OF
the state of Montana. The opinion read by
Judge Hunt reviewed the latest decisions
of the various courts. and discusses the
conflict in the opinion. The court, in this
case, held that 1t ia not a violation Of the
constitution of the United States TO prose-
cute a person for an offanse other than the
one for which he has been extradited. where
no question of good faith in the cxtradition
is raised. This ruling follows late text
writer's uron extradition, ond the supreme
court OF New York. and tho court OF appeals
of Colorado, but it ia in conflict with Mich
iRan and Ohio decisions. The question is
new in Montana.
1t is understood that Byers' counsel will
apply for a writ of habeas corpus to Judge
Knowles. of the United States court. claim
ing that the state of Montana is exceeding
its Jurisdiction in holding him upon the in
formation filed. The question has never
been ,assed on by the supreme court of the
United States. and it raises important ques-
tlons of the rights of tho states between
themselves. Judge Hunt holds that the
sovereignty of a state is limited and quail.
fled by the federal constitution. and that IN
ternational extradition laws apply between
nations and not between the states of the
Union. The question is a very interesting
one. and its decision will be watched with
interest by the oar of the state.
Byers' bondsmen yesterday withdrew
from his two bonds, amounting TO $3.50.
One OF the obiecte o. the hapeas corpus pro-
ceedlng6 is to secure lower bail.

crying softly. Finally she whispered:

me that you love me-" he cried; @then

She hung her head still lower. "Ah.

CHICAGO, June "A special from
Cincinnati says: The republicans of
Ohio will hold their state convention In
Columbus june and 8. There is no
doubt of the denomination of Governor
Mckinley, as we'll as Of the other of

thing that can change this is some un-

persons who, while admitting the prob

1t is said that a democratic literary
bureau has been established in the in
terest of Congressman Outhwaite for
governor. One of the congressman's
friends said:
II believe Joe is the best man the
democrats can put up. There has been
some talk of Campbell but he is not in
the race. Only last week he told two
intimate friends that, much as he
would like to try conclusions again

were in such condition that he must
give them his undivided attention.

"The most successful and at the

examining board at the treasury, to a
Washington Post man. "The confed-
eracy was very much in need of rail-

their supply system IT was in 1864
and they had not the means To buy an
engine, so the invariable alternative
arose-steal one. A band of 100 men
was selected from Lees army and
placed under the command of a big
six-foot-four Georgian, who had been
foreman of a stone quarry and was
more or less skilled in the use of der

tagged the next train and with nothing
on earth save plenty oS rope, those 100
men carried the locomotive tfty-two
miles over hills, across streams, through
bogs and woods, until they struck a
line the confederacy had built. Then
they ran the engine down to Virginia.

BIG GAME IN VANl q
Black Panthsrs, SiIvsr Tigers, rIysnss. and
Other Fiercs Animals.

DldSN SHFSf afA
Other Fisrcs Animals.
TYRONE, Pa, June s. Among the
-ircus animals which escaped from
Mains wrecked train Tues day and are
still at large in the mountains are a
black panther, a silver tiger, a lot of
monkeys, some valuable birds, among
which is blackheaded eagle, whose
defiant scream has already been heard
over more than one barnyard, an enor-
nous leopard and vicious hyena.
There is large party in pursuit OF the
animals. Every man and boy who can
carry gun or n pitchforK has joined
in the pursuit, while the tiuid women
have carefully barred their doors.
The most thrilling encounter So far
.elated was told by Sid Thomas, a
farmer, who was awakened in the gray
If the morning by the sound of fierce
growing and the plaintive cries of a
calf. Thomas jumped from his bed,
grabbed an old Springfield rifle and
ran into the yard. Thomas thus de-
scrib the incident:
II was only half dressed when ran
INTO the yard. Coming out into the
night could not STE clearly ut first,
but as my eyes grew accustomed to the
darkness, and. attracted by fierce
growls, walked cautiously over
toward the barn. Just outside the
door | saw sight which made me
clutch the barrel OF the rifle tighter
and step backward. Lying partially
across the dead body of one of my
calves lay big leopard. Its head was
partially buried in the neck OF the calf,
and it's long tail was swishing like that
OF an angry cat.
"As came near the leopard raised
its head, while its great jaws dripped
with blood. / never listened to a more
savage, ugly sound than that leopard
uttered as it saw me. What made the
situation more terrifying was the fact
that tearing away at the headquarters
If the calf was a fierce hyena. These
animals had been feasting and snarling
at each other for several minutes when
came up, but attracted their atten-
tion and they turned at me. You can
just bet that turned and ran as fast
as my legs could carry me. Pm too old
to fight panthers, but I'm just the right
age for a sprinter."

Rations We. Edu .atjon.

CHAMBERLAIN, s. d., June 2.-Super-
intendent Davis, of the Pierre Indian
school. while on recent trip to the
Indian reservations for the purpose of
inducing Indian children to attend the
school, met with some curious oppo-
sition to his efforts. One of the objec-
tions raised by the parents is that they
will be deprive ed of their children. But
the greatest objection is that when the
children go away to school the family
is deprived of the rations and annuities
such as blankets, sheeting, calico, etc,
"Of course" says Mr. Davis, "the chill
dren are clothed and fed while at
school, but the family Is deprived OF
this benefit at home, and ii Is not
always an easy matter to explain that
their children will be educated as re-
compense for this loss of rations. etc.
These objections are gradually being
overcome and the school Is filling up
with children as rapidly as we can pro.
vide for them"

CHICAGO, June 5.-Herman Schaffner

county court Saturday. No state

filed in the application for receiver.
in the absence of a statement by the
assignee it is given out but not author

liabilities of the concern will not ex
ceed half million dollars, and that
the assets more than cover the amount.
IL is stated that the creditors of the
bank will lose nothing. Attorney
Levy Mayer, representing the assignee,
stated this morning that even in the
event of forced liquidation there will
be enough money to meet all debts.
The firm was considered one of the
most solid private banks in the coun-

caused by the disappearance Of Her

stated TO his partner that he was going
out on an errand, since when nothing

not been at his home at 32l7 Wabash
avenue and the police have made vain
efforts to discover His whereabouts.
This fact started rumor on the board

A meeting of those interested in the
bank will be held today or tomorrow
to see about resuming business.

New YORK, June 3.--During the re.
cent congress of the press men and
women Of the world paper was pre-.
sented by Hon. j. A. Sleicher, editor
in-chief of the Mail and Express, sug-
gesting that prominent newspapers
should issue both republican and demo-
cratic editions. giving the news Of each
political party in the edition assigned
to that party, and also con-
Quoting the editorial page in
the same manner. This suggestion,
which was vigorously discussed
at the congress as decidedly novel in
novation, is, it is said, to be expert
mented upon in this city. According
to reports in Newspaper row the New
York Herald, after it Is installed in it's
new home, may issue republican and
democratic editions. The evening ad.
junct OF the Herald, the Telegram, is
