Sioux Falls, s. D., May 17.-Joseph
Sampson, the eX-acting mayor, VINO left
here suddenly last week telegraphs MS
friends that he will be home Sunday 10
face his ccusers. He will ave the sher-
if at Sundance take him to Spearf1sh
where he will meet Sheriff
Sampson wired the states attorney here
hat he would come without a requlsi-
ton and Mr.. Hubbard took the train at
Woolsey for the Black Hills. sampson
refused to grant the A~rgus-Leader a
telegraphic interview but wired that he
would explain all when he reached
home. The general impression here Is
that If Sampson turns over the city
money it will be impossible to convict
him of embezzlement.
The finance committee of the council
has employed an expert accountant to
check up the accounts of the saloon
funds during all the time that they
have been collected to find out now
much money has been paid, who paid it,,
and what it was expended for. 1t is ex-
pected that the report will be an inter-
esting one.

And yet | swear, ! can't tell how,

To trust my partial ear or eye.

But, faith! unthinkingly. today

Perhaps the struggle, too, were VAN;

My heart may keep It for his pains.

TO AVOID TROUBLE.
An American Revenue Cutter Racing to
Bering Sea.

San Francisco. Cal, May 1.-THE
United States revenue cutter, Comma
dore Perry, hurried u of port on an
important mission. She made all haste
possible in order to reach Boring sea in
time to prevent a fleet of cutters which
is now heading for the sealing grounds
from Selling any armed vessels, as is
their present intention. Upon the feet
ness OF the Perry nay depend the
warding off of serious complications
with England. The latter government
has practically decreed that any inter-
ference with armed sailing vessels fly
ing the British flag will meet with re-
t~aliation In the shape of damages, and
the Perry's sudden departure for the
north is considered as an indication
that the administration does not desire
TO invite any more trouble with the lion

For my. footsteps are loud in the wither-
