INDICTED FOR MURDER
A McCook County Is. d. Constable
and Two Others Accused of KILL
ing a Prisoner. e
HE HAD AN IRON BAR
And the Jailer Says Was Trying to
Use list. Paul Man Murdered
in Indiana. @

Sioux FALLS, s. D., Nov. 15.-Indict-
ments have been returned in McCoOk
county against Constable Frank T.
jackson, Thomas Wiley and N. T.
Halle for the murder of Sam Irvine at
Montrose Jan. /, 1894. A former grand
jury failed to return bill against these
men and the matter was suppo ,ed to
have been dropped. The indictments
are now for willful and malicious muir
der and not for manslaughter. The
states attorney has engaged Sioux
Falls lawyer to assist in the prosecution
and an earnest effort will be made to
convict the men. The following is the
story of the trouble in condensed form:
Story of the Shooting.
In the spring of 1893 Mrs. Irvine Sc
cured a divorce from her husband on
the ground of cruelty. Later Irvine
forcibly entered her house and she
asked the authorities to interfere. On
Dec. 80 Irvine went to Constable Jack
son with an order for Mrs. ryjne's
furniture. The constable went to Mrs.
Irvine and found that Irvine obtained
the order under threat to murder his
wife if she did not give it. Irvine was
placed in Jail. Late that night or early
the next morning Constable Jackson
was summoned to the Jail to prevent
Irvine's escape. He found that the
prisoner had broken from his cell and
was using one of the large bars which
had been in front of his cell door to
break his way out of the outer room.
He was made to return to his cell, but
he took the iron bar with him. He re-
fused to give this up and the constable
covered him with revolver. Irvine
was again ordered to throw the bar out
when he sullenty remarked: ''Wait till
I light my pipe" When he had done
this jackson claims the prisoner made
a motion as if to strike him (Jackson)
and the latter fred. The bullet passed
just to the right of Irvine heart. The
wounded man said, jackson you have
hit me hard"
Wiley and Halle were in the Jail
corridor when the shooting occurred,aud
it's in. this way they, are implicated in
the matter.

CURRENCY PROBLEM.
Said That President Cleveland Will
Make Recommendations For q
!: New Plan
n HIS NEXT MESSAGE.
The Scheme of the Baltimore Conven-
ton Of Bankers Will Probably
Form the Foundation.

NEW YORK, Nov. l5.-It is reported
here that the president is considering
the idea of submitting to the country a
plan for currency reform. He believes
that the currency system is inherently
vicious; that it is responsible for finan.
.cial ills, which must recur so long as it
is maintained. Satisfied with this
diagnosis. he will undoubtedly prescribe
a remedy calculated to give the finances
permanent health. believing possibly
that this can be done only by supplant-
the present system. The subject will
be the dominating feature in his mes
sage to congress in December.
Suggestions Of Bankers Favored.
It is said he will favor many of the
suggestions made by the bankers ma
tional convention at Baltimore in Sep
tember. What is known as the Balti-
more plan, adopted at that convention,
appealed to the president as having
features of undoubted merit He OBJ
tanned copy of that plan and since
that time he has been studying and
working on the subject. Briefly stated,
the Baltimore plan provides for guar
anty fund obtained by levying small
tax on all of the banks. This fund is
to be used to pay the notes of banks
which become insOlvent.
Since it became whispered among
fnanciers that the president was pre-
pairing to address congress upon the
currency system, SO many suggestions
have reached him that he thought it
well to gsther some expert opinion
among bankers whom he could not per-
sonally consult. The present visit of
William E. Curtis, assistant secretary
of the treasury, to this city, is under
stood to be for the purpose of
Sounding Public Opinion
here upon the general subject. While
Mr.. Curtis is in New York, Assistant
Treasurer Conrad M. Jordan is in
Washington. He is urging upon the
president to recommend to congress the

nom partisan in character, and COM

tions, which shall consider the currency
question in it's various bearings and re-

Natives Disappearing.

From the administrative report of the
Andaman Islands for the past official
year, which has recently been issued in
Calcutta, it appears that the aborigines
of the archipelago are disappearing so
rapidly that Mr. Portman states the
present generation may be considered as
the last of the great Andaman tribe. All
the people of Rutland Island and Port
Campbell are now dead and very few
remain in the South Andamans. Apart
from the mortality from infectious
diseases, it is said that the few children
who are now born do not survive.
Mr. Pcrtman is endeavoring to keep
the tribe alive as long as possible, and
he is collecting all the children at his
house, where they are well fed and
cared for; but this can only postpone for
short time the extinction of the race.
For many centuries the people lived
completely isolated from the rest of the
world, but, like the Pacific Islanders,
they seem unable to withstand contact
with external civilization. .-Galignani's
Messenger.
