LOST HIS LIFE

August Schuster Dies of Poor Health

Word comes from BaraboO that Aug

leased from state prison Oh account Of
poor health. and taken to his home i'll
Ableman, died on Friday He made no
confession of his alleged crime, and on
his deatn-bed said he was innocent.
He was found guilty Of a most brutal
assault upon Miss Rosa Sackman
about two years ago, and sentenced to
five years at Waupun. The crime was
committed while the young woman was
alone at the home of her parents in
the country. A man entered the house
and demanded money. She refused to
comply with his request, WhereupOn the
man gagged her, threw carbOlic acid in
her face and otherwise abused her. She
still refused to give up the money, and
tainted. Her aSSailant then started
to drag her to a neighOring creek. but
was frightened by the noise Of an ap-
preaching team and fed. When found
claimed that her asSailant was SchuSter,
whom she remembered as a former
schOOl-mate. The young woman has
been an invalid ever since the occur
renee, and will probably never recover
from the effects Of the assault, though
a few months ago she returned home
from Portage where she had been re
ceiving medical treatment, somewhat
improved. Young Schuster was en-
ployed in a hotel at WatertOwn, Wis,
at that time, and though all the persons
connected with the hotel swore that he
had not been absent from his post Of
duty, the young woman's testimony
proved sufficient evidence for the jury
to convict him. SchuSter has always
claimed he was innocent

THREE GREAT CASES
United States Supreme Court
Decides i'll Favor Of Occur
D'Alene miners.
Shelves the Illinois Central APP
plicatlon for q Lake Front
Suit Rehearing.


Washington, March Gin an opinion
delivered by Justice Blanchard for Chief
Justice Fuller in the case Of George
Pittibone and Othed striking Occur D.
AIene miners in Idaho against the Unit
ed States, the court decided in favor of
the miners and directed that the indict-
ment against them be quashed.
These cases grew out Of the riots at
the Warden mines. The court at that
time had granted injunctiOns restraining
the strikers from interfering with the
men and it was alleged that Pettibone
and others conspired to violate the laws
of the United States.
The court holds that the Indictment
under which they were convicted of this
charge is defective in that it has not
shown that the men had knowledge
of the order Of the court. Justices
Brewer and Brown dissented.
Illinois Central DoWned.
Justice Field this afternoon gave di-
reCtions to Clerk Mckinney to enter 4
denial and notify the council in the
matter of the application of the Illinois
Central Railroad company for a re-hear-
ing in the celebrated Lake Front case.
The matter was entirely informal and
forms no part of the record Of the court
The refusal to entertain u motion to
enter the case is conclusive that the
controversy must end positively as for
as it concerns the main point in dispute
viz: the title to the Chicago water front,
though there will necessarily be further
litigation over certain property now
held by the railway company and al
legged to project into the lake beyond
lawful limits
Saint Louis Wins.
In the case of the city of st. Louis
against the Western Union Telegraph
company, the court in its opinion by
Justice Brewer reversed the decision of
the lower court, and held valid
the city ordinance eXacting conpensa-
ton from the company for the use of
streets for telegraph poles, the charge
being on each pole erected.
The court holds that this was in re-
ality a rental charged for the use of
public streets and that the city had as
much right to charge such a rental as
for use of a room in the city hall
There is nothing in the charter of the
company eXempting it from such taxa
ton on the ground that public streets
are post routes.
The court did not pass upon the Ques-
ton as to the re&sonableness of the rate
charged, the case coming before it il
advance of any investigation Of this
point by the lower court.
Judge Brown based his dissent on
the ground that y tax of So per pole
amounted to A per cent. of the re-
turned valuation of the company's St.
Louis property and was unreasonable.
