Frank Trudell of Mitchell is confined
in the county Jail at Woonsocket await
ing the action of the grand jury. During
the evening of Tuesday, while political
parade was attracting the attention OF the
people of Woonsocket Trudell made the
acquaintance of a young girl named Hat
tic Knight, aged about IL years. Under
preiense of wanting to find the residence
OF minister Trudell induced the girl to
show him the way. Having crossed the
railroad track, Trudell assaulted the girl.
She fought tiercely to defeat him, but his
british strength Overpowerad her. His
face was scratched in fearful manner.
showing with what desperation the girl
fought his advances. Wednesday, morn
at Woonsocllet Trudell was confronted
with the girl and she positively identified
him as the man who made the assault on
her. Trudell was held 10 the circuit court
on the charge of committing rape.
This is not the first time Trudell has
been i'll trouble of this kind. About four
years ago lie was arrested on similar
charge ut Mitchell of which he was con-
victed and sentenced to the penitentiary
for term of years. There always seemed
to be doubt as to his guilt, ard a petition
was circulated to secure IL pardon for him.
1t was successful and Yrudcll was par
doned by the governor.
Drudell's crime created intense excite
ment in Woonsocket, and for time
lynching seemed likely.

the Field if Necessary.
To Fight Mt Long Range.


A New York Icrald's dispatch says:
In an interview Gen. Weyler was asle d
by your correspondents:
"What do you think about,he prospects
OF putting down the insurrection in the
province of Pinar del Rio?"
The general replied that he thought the
chances excellent for the complete success
of Spanish arms in that province. lie had
been Of this opinion for some time, he
said, and the recent victories of Gen.
Munoz at Cacarajacara and OF Gen. ArO-
las at Artemisa only confirmed him in the
belief of the freeing of the province of
insurgents.
"ls it a fact that you have decided to
take the field in person, Gen. Weyler?'
"Tliere is nothing absolutely decided on
the subject. Here in Havana, am in tele-
graphic connection with my generals
every where and can direct the movemen,
of all my forces. Once in the field my
scope would be limited to that of the
commander of an army corps. Still, if the
eXigences of the situation should in my
opinion demand my taking the field, l
should not hesitate to do so, but any def
mite statement to that effect is, to say the
least, premature"
In reply to IA question about proceeding
against the Competitor prisoners, Gen.
Weyler explained that at present simply
Il preliminary hearing had been accorded,
the nature of which had not been made
public. When the military tribunals
should begin the regular inquiry the testi-
mony taken, the general said, would be
given out.

1t is stated by officials that the United

The japanese Government stands ready
to join'the United States in any plan Of

The Russian Government also, it can be

Alaska and the seal islands now attached

BREAKS wEYLER,s LINES.
Gen. Maceo Fights His Way Across
the Trocha.

the Trocha.
Well informed passengers arriving at
Key West, Fla, from Havana confirm the
advices received by mail that Maceo
crossed the troclia at Artcmisa and joined
the insurgent forces in Havana province.
They declare that the report circulatelb by
Maceo of his cncampmentatC Cacarajacaru
and contemplated attack ON that town
was merely fent of the rebel leader to
concentrate the Spanish forces at that
point. That tue rusc was successful is
proved by the fact that Gen. Munoz with
a large force was sent in that direction to
attack Maceo, but upon his arrival at
Cacarajacara the Spaniards found MOTH
ing but deserted camp.
Maceo's followers under forced marches
then made detour 10 tho southwark and
suddenly appeared at Artemisa, the ccn-
trail post on the line of the trocha. Civ
ing the men temporary rest, the insurgcnt
chief sent word to the commandant that
lie intended to lombard the town, aud
giving the inhabitants five hours in which
to leave city. Not needing Macco's
threats, the Spaniards would permit no
one to leave. The result is known from
reports already cablcd from Havana.
Maceo opened fire on the town with ar
tillery, and thirty shots from the rebel
dynamite gun were thrown into the city
Every building is said to have been
leveled, while the slaughter of non-com-
batants was appalling. During the car
mage Maceo and his followers crossed the
line OF the trocha into Havana province,
where they joined the forces of General

A Successful Sale.

Register Rowe and Receiver Grayhill of
the United States land office at Chamber
lain, have returned from the abandoned
Fort Randall military reservation, where
they conducted the sale of the old garri-
son buildings under instructions from the
Secretary of the Interior. Between 200
and 300 bidders were present and every
building sold for moro than the appraised
valuation. Forty out of forty-ii five build
ings were sold for cash, and the work of
tearing down and removing them is now
in progress. Special instructions will
doubtless be received regarding the dis
posal of the buildings remaining unsold.
Tho sale of these buildings is the closing
event in the history of what was, during
early days. one of the most important and
liyeliest of frontier military posts.

satisfactory to high degree, and when it

SOUTH DAKOTA APPLES.
A Correspondent Visits tho Alder.
man Orchard Farm.


man Orchard Farm.
Although Il resident of Dakota for some
fifteen years, writes correspondent from
Hurley, l lad for the first time Thursday
the pleasure OF visiting the largest or
chard in South Dakota, known as the AL
derma, Orchard Farm.
The orchard originally consisted OF 1S0
acr. 8. The trees are in rows at right angles
with each other a! q distance of 20 feet
apart. The Oldest trees are now fifteen
years of age. and while the branches do
not overlap, they nearly cover the ground.
There are many varieties in the orchard,
but the paying crop this year has been
from the Duchess, the Wealthy and
Whitney no. 20. The Tetofski also comes
in for some praise. The orchard produced
this year 4 900 bushels of apples, which
sold at an average of over 30 cents
busliel. The earliest varieties readily
sold for 81 II busllel.
The cost of the orchard has been al
most entirely in the purchase price of the
trees and their planting. No costly ma
chinery is required for the! cultivation Of
the crop or the harvesting. The princi-
pal foe to the orchard is the tent
c,tcrpilar. The pest requires the
constant attention OF one man in the
spring for a month to eXterminate them.
The ordinary emulsions do not give him
the cholic or cholera, Il step ladder and a
pair of good buckskn gloves to strip off
the nests or break off the twigs is the
surest remedy devised. 1t took many
years of waiting to produce the present
results, but this successful experiment
here on Dakota prairie proves that oth-
ers with patience and wisdom may pro-
ducc similar results, and while we may
not always have our "vine, AMI fig trees"
VIC may have apples in Dakota sufficient
for all our needs.
