FOR AN ATTEMPTED LYNCH1NG.
Indictments Against Four Promi-
nent Illinois PeOnle.

Centrilla, ILL.,, special: The Grand
jury of Marion County, at Salem, re-
turned indictments against Represent
ative d. w. Holstlaw and three BROTH
ers of Iuka for the attempted hanging
of Fred Smith in October last. Smith
was farm hand working for the
father of the Holstlaw boys and was
suspected of stealing $3.50 which the
old man had hidden in the woodshed.
The four brothers took Smith to the
woods and undertook to make him
confess and return the money by
threatening to hang him. They failed
and Smith sued at this term of court
for $4,000 damages. The suit was
compromised by the payment of sl,5O0
by the Holstlaw brothers, and it was
then understood no complaint would be
entered to the grand jury and that the
case was finally settled. d. w. Hoist
law is Representative from this
county to the General Assembly.

BAD FOR THE BLACK HILLS.
Miners Strike sttll On and Industry at a
Stand Still,


Stand Still.
The labor situation in the Black
Hills still remains in an unsettled con-
1ition. Neither side in the struggle
at present being waged has msds a
decided move since two weeks ago,
when members of several Labor and
Miners Unions to the number of sew
sral hundred went to the scene of
operations of the South Dakota Mining
Company at Speartish Canyon and
compelled the worklnen ON q large
aume to quit work. Since then the
Mining Company has ceased all opera
.ions for an indefinite period. The
wood chopping or clearing crew, which
was not molested by the mob, and all
miners at work for the Company at
Bald Mountain and Garden City,
where the Company has interests,
have been laid Off. All that is now
left of what a short time ago was q
scene of life an activity is u few men
who are kept to guard the movable
property of the company.
Many of the men who were forced to
quit work at Speartish Canyon, were
Black Hills farmers, men who have
struggled for years for q living and
have suffered repeated crop failures.
They have families whom they left on
the little farms in the valleys and
loot hills while they sought to ealn
money during the winter months when
their services were not need on the
farm. Many of them hoped in this
way to earn enough to keep the wolf
from the uoor and in addition give
them sufficient to purchase seed grain
for the coming spring. They were
anxious to work and were we'll satis-
fed with the wages paid them. Some
of them, rather than starve OR depend
upon the bounty of their neighbors,
offered to go back to work, and said ii
the company would furnish them arms
they would go back and protect them
selves. But of course this was inn
possible. In all 200 men and twelve
teams were thrown out of employment
by the action of the Unions.
It was the intention of the COMPANY
to soon have employed fully 500 men,
but now everything is uncertain. The
officers OF the Company announce that
work will not be resumed until such
time as the operations can be Carried
on peacefully and without fear that
the workmen will again be subjected
to mob violence.
The people of the Black Hills are
anxiously awaiting a solution of the
serious problem which now confronts
them. It is feared that the present
difficulty will result in driving thous-
ands of dollars of capital form the
Black Hills and retard thcir develop.
ment beyond calculation.

HAS NO STANDING IN COURT.
X. of l.. Application for Bond In-

junction is Refused.
Washington special: Judge Cox, of
the District Supreme Court, declined
to grant the application of the X. of
L. to compel Secretary Carlisle to show
cause why he should not be enjoined
from issuing $4,000, 600 bonds as pro-
posed.
Secretary Carlisle declined to make
for publication any statement of his
trip to New York. 1t was officially
stated at the department that the
statement attributed to the Secretary
while in New York that if the sub
scription. run up to $75,0OO,OO he in
tended to sell that many bonds, was
| incorrect.
The treasury officials received with
unfeigned satisfaction tho decision of
Judge Cox dismissing the petition of
the K. of L. for the injunction against
Secretary Carlisle to restrain him from
issuing bonds.
The court in its decision on the Sow
ereign case says the application of the
X. of l.. asserts that the members of
the organization as citizens and tax
payers have right to the injunction.
Should the bonds be issued, the inter-
est would practically amount to tax
of 81 a head in the country. thereby
resulting in an outlay of $500, 900 for
the X. of L. Judge Cox said the
knights as an organization had no
standing in the court.
The knights will appeal from the de-
cision to the District Court of Appeals
and the case may eventually go to the
Supreme Court of the United States.
