W. H. Levy, the attorney who was
bound owe by Justice Copeland at
Vermillion to appear before the next
grand jury to answer to the charge of
rape. sprung somewhat of a sensation
when he produced an affidavit sworn
out by the prosecuting witness, Clara
E. Scott of Yankton. In her affidavit
Miss Scott states that the testimony
she gave before the county magistrate
was absolutely false, and that she was
compelled to commit perjury. The
affidavit further states that she was is
years old on the 18th of last May. and
not IA Us it will be remembered she
testified. Miss Scott, who is at pres
ent attending the Catholic convent at
.Yankton, says she is repentant for the
wrong she has done Levy, and that
while in her company he has always
acted the part of u gentleman. and is
entirely innocent Of the grave crime
with which he is charged. The afi-
davit was sent to Levy without his So
~licitation. When seen Levy said he
did not care to talk about the matter,
but that he had always known the girl
not to blame for the disgrace he
had been subjected to before the pub
lie. He also says that he knows who
his prosecutors are, and that a sum of
money had been offered the girl If he
convicted.

Thousand. Many of the men returned

tempted to get to their homes. These
were set upon by the strikers and tel.
ribly beaten. The entire police force
is on duty, but is p%owerless. Asfar as
known no one was killed, but several
were badly injured. One man jumped
on all electric car. but the mob SUR
rounded the a and, pulling down the
trolley, cut the wires. The ears have
now stopped running. About 9 o'clock
the mob surrounded the works and is
now in possession. The sheriff has
been called upon and 200 deputies will
leave for the scene On the first train.
The mob has heard the deputies are
coming and threats are made that they
will kill them. The widest excite
ment prevails throughout the city.
A proclamation vas issued by the
mayor calling on all the people to dis.
perse and retire from the streets. In
obedience to the mayors proclamation
the strikers dispersed. They are only
under cover, however. and have every
avenue OF approach to the city under
surveillance. At least thirty-tive men
were injured in the riot. two of whom;
the physicians say. will die.

surance concerns and then expose the
little ones wilfully to the terrors of
contagious and fatal diseases. The
policies issued were from SIS to $3.50.

cents weekly. The chief officer of the
city sanitary department has been at
work on the matter, and has found four
cases where children were permitted
to die during the last few months for
no cause except to collect the insur-
ance.
One "a the past week occurred
whcrc the parents got $500 for the
death of a IA year old girl. The at
tending physician says there was not
the slightest danger of death if the
child had been attended to. but he was
not called in until she had been sick
several days, and then the parents re.
fused to get the medicine ordered.
He adds that to this cause may be as
cribed to q considerable extent the
failure of the board of health to stamp
IL the spread of diphtheria, which
threatened to become epidemic here a
few months ago.

1Ey Nh0st0EA EATUlhuKs
Agent s. d. Cone of the Great
Northern is making an experiment in
farming which will be watched with
considerable interest. He has leased
forty-fve acres Of land one mile north

cry and appliances used in handling

yield in the fall, the crop should be
very favorable. MIR. Cone has already
contracted fifty bushels at $40 per
bushel and is certain of o good de-
mand for all he can raise. He sows in
the neighborhood of one peck per
acre and ought to get an average
yield of ten bushels to the acre. In
some localities the crop averages
twenty and twenty-five bushels.

Tho South Dakota Public Examinership
Called in Question.
1t is very doubtful if South Dakota
legally hasa public examiner, although
G. H. Meyers of Watcrtown isholding
down that position. When the last
grand jury was in session Public Ex-
aminer Meyers secured an Indictment
against Clerk of Courts Thorne for re-
fusing to make reports to him. Ex-
JudgeF. B. Aikens, council for Throne,
demurred to the indictment, and
among other things claimed that the
state did not have q public examiner
and could not have n legally at the
present time. He bases this claim on
the fact that the public examiner is
holding Office under an old Territorial.
law which created two public exam
iners, n for the southern half of the
state, now South Dakota. and one for
the north half. One was to bea Demo-
crat and the other Republican. Judge
Jones did not rule on the constitutions
atty of the law, but held that the clerk
of courts did not have to report to the
public examiner. Mr.. Meyers will
appeal the case TO the supreme court
in order to have the question of whether
he can legally net or not decided by
that body.

WIPE OUT THE ESTATE.
Governments Claim Against Mrs.
Stanford Would Bankrupt Her.

StaniOrU QUIZ bankrupt dcr.
San Francisco special: The claim
for$l5, 600, 900 filed against the Stanford
estate by Attorney General Olney as a
preliminary to forcing the Govern
ment's claim against the original
holders of the Central Pacific grant,
causes the greatest excitement. The
claim was filed May 25, but was kept
secret. 1t is estimated that the claim,
if established, would wipe out the es.
tate and leave the widow penniless,
cut off all the be~neiiciaries under the
will, including the endowment of 49,
100000 to Stanford University, and
probably invalidate the deed OF trust
creating the University, thereby
wrecking it. Mrs. Stanford says she
will fight the case to the extent of her
ability. Her attorney says the esq
tates and original holders of grants
cannot be held for debts of the road.
The Government issued bonds to aid
i'll the construction of the road, but
neither Stanford or anybody else ever
promised to pay the amount back. No
man "a be compelled to pay the mort
gage. All the creditors can do is to
foreclosc the mortgage. and if.the sum
realized does not pay the debt he cam
not have to the maj who
made the mortgage. The Govern
ment's claim against the road is a Sec
ond mortgage for sixty millions. If it
wants to pay the first mortgage OF u
like amonnt it can foreclose and take
the property. This it is not likely to
do, as the road could now be built Cor
onc-third of the sum.

Taxation Of Land.

A decision affecting the interests of
nearly every county in South Dakota
has been handed down by the Supreme
Court. The case is that of the Amer
lean Investment Company against
Beadle County, the question involved
being whether the county is liable for
taxes where land has been sold at
treasurer's sale, as we'll as for taxes
paid after such sale, where the land
taxed was subsequently Cancelled by
the United States The decision Is in
favor of the defendant, and affirms the
finding of the lower court. Thousands
Of dollars, paid in as taxes have been
held by county %treasurcrs pending the
decision, which will now go into the
general fund. Nearly every county in
the state has from $4,000 to $4,000 in
such taxes: B,adle County will get
nearly $4,000.

DEATH AND DEVASTATION.
Awful Story of Woe Comes from
the Northwest.

Vancouver, b. e., special: The
Frazer River is still rising slowly at
Westminster, but the worst is believed
to he past. AT up river points it is
falling. AT Lytton it has gone down
twenty-seven inches. \ clOudburst

claimed the destruction to farms in
the valley is not complete, as first re-
ported, and that many will be able to
raise crops. All the Canadian Pacific
east bound passengers have been COM
PEELED to return. oeing unable to get
through. There are many serious
breaks, and trains will not be able to
run for u week. The most serious in
terruption was caused by the cloud
burst mentioned. 1t swept the railroad
for nine miles, from the sawmill
flats to Lytton. taking out the
approaches to the Government bridge
o III the old Cariboo Road and the iron
bridges at Ashcroft and Spencer Sta
ton. The water tore down the noun
tain sides with incredible velocity
and sent the river leaping over it's
banks in a boiling current. This great
body of water is yet TO he felt on the
lower rver. Men from the upper
river bring sad stories of death and
devastation. Settlers are floating on
RATS with their families and being
lescued by steamers. Thousands of
families are homeless and destitute
and starving. There are floating
houses with people on them; RATS
with cattle on them; villages with
nothing except the roofs of houses
showing in ommon sight. Indian
villages are swept away for hundreds
of miles and the Indians are bivouck-
ing in the mountains, with nothing to
them excep: blankets. They
are living on cattle dragged from the
stream as they tlons by.

Thousands of settlers Along the

Hailstorm in Austria's Capital.
Militia are On the Ground.

Denver, Colo, special: Unless some
excited posse of deputies or band of
reckless miners persists in making
trouble the crisis at Cripple Greek is
over. The militia, under Brig. Gen.
Brooks. 800 strong, made a forced
march from Midland and reached tho
scene of the trouble none too soon to
prevent 81 clash. When Brooks
reached the camp he requested the
deputies to withdraw their picket line
and he would substitute his own men.
10 this the deputies demurred. A
squad of deputies marched through
the main streets in military order.
Mayor Lindsey took occasion to tell
the deputies that they must
no enter the corporate limits
of the city again. They passed
on without making. a stop,
evidently intent on making some point
of vantage before dark. Sheriff Bow
ers was waited on by Il large delcga-
tion of deputies. who urged him to al
low them to accompany him to Bull
Hill in the morning. He consented,
and this may precipitate a row.
The presence of the militia does not
bring any relief. The deputies want
none of their aid, and the strikers
stand ready for a scrimmage at the
drop of the hat.
The reported engagement between
deputies and strikers proved untrue.
Some of the former were practicing
