says: "During the Tory admins.

GROWING SERIOUS.
'""or troubles In the Black Hills As
stunning an Ugly Phase.

." 'h' iiluCk HIS As
stunning an Ugly Phase.
DEApwooD, 5. d., Jan. 17.-Labor
troubles IN the Black Hills are assum-
ing a serious phase. The riot of last
week. when the union miners attacked
the laborers on the works of the South
Dakota Mining company on Annie
creek was the outgrowth of agitation
on the wage question. For MANY wears
the lowest pay for men in the mines
and mills has been 49, per dav. The
I1omestake company, the largest pro-
ducer of gold in America. having grown
tired OF the uncertainty which has sur
rounded the labor question for some
time past, decided to settle the matter
without further ceremony. The COM
pany notified the miners union that it
would reduce wages to SO day or en-
tlrely suspend operations in all the
mines and mills and gave the miners a
week to decide whether they desired to
work on lower scale or remain in idle
ness for some months to come.
The business men of Deadwood and
Lead City have adopted resolutions CON
demnlng the action of miners in as
saulting laborers last week on Annie
creek. In retaliation the miners of
Lead City, Central City and surround
ing camps held a massmeeting in Cen
trail City. Resolutions were adopted
denouncing the Deadwood Business
Mems Protective association. The
miners present at the meeting pledged
themselves to boycott all Deadwood
business houses and do all in their
power to injure all Deadwood enter
prses and to make every effort to have
the county seat removed, either by
state authority or dynamite. The ques-
ton is becoming very threatening and
serious results are feared.

KANSAS CITY. Jan. 1.-THE mys-
ferrous disappearance of Miss Belle
Bonesteel, the lS-year old daughter of
DR.. William j. Bonesteel, prominent
local physician, last Thursday, has just
been made public. On that evening
Miss Bonesteel, who is an extremely
handsome girl, started for the opera,
accompanied by two intimate friends.
Before reaching the theater she
changed her mind and decided to call
upon lady friend and to meet her two
companions, a lady and a gentleman,
both of whom are friends of the family,
at p. m, when they all should re-
turn home together.
When the appointed time arrived
Miss Bonesteel was not to be found.
Mr. and Mrs. Bonesteel We're both loath
to make the story public and with the
aid of detectives began u systematic
search for her. Though all clews have
been thoroughly worked, all theories
upset and the city been traversed from
end to end, no trace of the missing girl
has been found and now foul play is
feared. When last seen Miss Bonesteel
wore diamonds valued at $500. She was
engaged to a Grand Island, Neb.. bust

who gave his name as Powers, called
on Rev. William Frost Bishop, pastor
of the esbyterian church. claiming to
be Presbyterian and that he wanted
to send his daughter to college. He got
letter of introduction from the min
lister to President Menefee. He paid
for the tuition in advance, giving a GER
titled check on bank at Fort Benton,
Mont, for $500 and received $500 back
in change. The draft was cashsd by
the First National bank of this city.
After getting the money Powers disap-

BEFORE JUDD, c. J., BICKERToN AND wM
FOSTER ESQ. WHO SAT IN PLACE
OF FRKAR, :. DISQUALIFIED.

ID A Court of Equity may only interfere
with judgment at law where the COM
plainant has an equitable defense of
which he could not avail himself at law
because it did not amount TO legal
defense, or had good defense at law
which he was prevented from availing
himself of by fraud or accident, un-
mixed with negligence of himself or
his agents.
I2) In the former case the statute of
limitations was pleaded to the action
which was debt on foreign judgment
of a Court of Record. The decision of
the Law Court was that the allegations
Of the complaint were satisfactorily
proved and the plaintiff entitled to
Judgment. No express finding on the
statute of limitations was asked for or
made, and no exception was taken
thereto. No motion in arrest of judg-
ment was made before judgment was
entered: Held, the motion in arrest
could not have prevailed if seasonably
made, for the record disclosed no error.
(3) 1t does not appear from the record
whether the statute of limitations of
six years was pleaded or whether the
cause was taken out Of the statute by
some legal cause of exception.
