INTEREST IN CRANES DECISION
Claim That 1t Is n Discrimination
Against Schools.

SllllLl lhA ~ 10 q
Against schools.
Yermili.on. Aug. 17.@Considerable
surprise is expressed here owe the rul-
ing of the state superintendent of pub
lie instruction, Crane, relative to the
1897 law granting state certificates to
college graduates. The law, section IL,
chapter 81, provides IA "A candidate
for state certificate. a resident graduate
graduate of m college in this state,
having taken Il cours OF study equiva-
lent to the advanced course of study
prescribed in either Of the state normal
schools or the collegiate department of
the state university OF South Dakota,
shall. upon filing with the state super
intendent his or her diploma, a copy of
the course of study pursued and the
written Endorsement of the faculty of
instruction, be exempt from the re-
quired examination; provided the appli-
cant has taught successfully in the pub
lie schools for at least one year. The
superintendent of public instruction
shall issue such state certificate free of
charge"
Mr.. Crane rules that the above does
not apply to graduates of the normal
schools and the state university; that
they are provided for in a previous
clause of the same section. requiring the
issuance of certificates to graduates of
the state normal school and the state
university who have completed the
courses in pedagogy prescribed in those
Institutions. This seems to be a dis.
elimination against the graduates OF
| the state schools in favor of graduates
of other colleges of South Dakota, and
is not believed to Ike the spirit of the
law. A large number of teacher vii
be affected. The opinion of Attorney
General Grigshy viii he awaited with
much interest

|THE lNJUNCTlONS WILL
Be MATERIALLY MODIFIED
Judge So lntimates During the
Hearing of the Cause Against
the Strikers,
NOT SWEEPING IN ITS TERMS
No Question as to the Duties of the
Judges to Protect Men and
Property - Some Sur
crises Expected.

P%ittsburg. Aug. 1s.-Yesterday was
fraught with exciting incidents in mat
tors pertaining to the miners strike.
Mntiny in the strikers camp, u mur-
der in the deputies ranks, filing of
criminal and civil suits against the De
Armitts and the hearing in the i%njunc-
ton case against President Dolan and
others kept both sides to the struggle
busy and on the qui vive all day long.
The hearing in the injunction came
before Judges Stowe and Collier, per-
haps one of the. most important and in
tcresting ever held in Il Pennsylvania
court. 1t was a hearing in which both
capital and the rights of labor were
interested, and the decision is expect
ed to have a telling effect on the cons
duct of the great coal miners strike
which has been on since July ).
From the testimony adduced and
from the expression of the court it can
safely be said that there will be some
surprises. That the injunction will be
materially modified there can be no
doubt. which on its face would indi-
cate a victory for the strikers.
Judge Collier said in court yesterday
that the strike would go down in his
tory as one of the wonders of the coun.
try. remarkable for the lack of disor-
der, fer which the strikers are COM
mended and have the sympathy of the
court. lie said:
This can be no question as to what
onr duty is under all the testimony
but | am somewhat in doubt as to
whether or not the order should be
modified. We cannot determine this
without a consultation"
Judge Stowe said in the afternoon:
This injunction will not justify the
issuing of AT attachment against any
marchers who are not found in COM
pany with the men named in the in-
Junction"
He let is he Understood that the in
junction is not so sweeping as has
been thought; that only the five
named in the writ-Patrick Dolan, Will
liam Warner, Cameron Miller, Uriah
B%ellingham and Edward McKay-are
restrained from marching or trespass-
ing on the company's property. The
others mentioned can only be those
found in company Of the five named in
the in Injunction. AS near as can be
learned the strikers under the i%njunc-
ton can march, but not in company
with any of the defendants.
Deputy Sheriff Fatally Injured.
Two deputies, Robert Kerr and
Frank Anderson, employed as guar
dams of the New York and Cleveland
Gas Coal company, fought yesterday
afternoon, and as a result Kerr can
not live. Anderson is a proprietor Of
n dive in Water street, this city, and is
known al a bad man. lie was in charge
OF the deputies at Sandy Creek. Kerr,
who lives at McIIee's Rocks, is a river
pilot by profession. 1t is not known
what the men fought about, but after
a few words n rough and tumble fight
lasting about five minutes ensued.
Anderson succeeded in drawing his re-
volver and placing it close to Kerr's
abdomen, fired, the ball tearing
through the victims intestines and
lodging in his back. Anderson is in
custody.

HE is NOT BLIND. BUT ARMED
Justice Peabody of st. Louis Backs
Up His Opinions With

ST. Louis, Mo-, Aug. 17.-Attorney
Jefferson Davis Storts gave Judge Pea
body considerable worry Saturday
morning. Storts entered the court
room just before the ease of Matt KEEL
ly was called, and after some loud
words was ordered to be seated. The
tall lawyer took ii seat and uttered u
volley of oaths. He was cautioned by
the judge but still continued his abuse.
Judge Peabody then placed his re-
volver on the docket and continued
with the hearing DC cases. Friends of
Storts finally induced min to leave the
room. Peabody ordered Storts
searched and discovering he had no
weapon, put his pistol away. Judge
Peabody in explanation said:
Il had the pistol. 1t was necessary
to preserve my own life. Things have
come to a pretty pass when a police
justice must preserve the dignity of
his court in this Ny life has
been threatened by a pack of crooks,
and the good citizens, | feel sure, will
uphold me when l say the first one
that assaults me i will shoot dead"

TIE cuBANs TO FORCE MATTERS
Havana, Matanzas and CienfueKos
May Be simultaneously
Attacked.


New York, Aug. 17.-There is an un-
dercurrent of great activity among the
Cuban Insurgents and their supporters
in New York and Florida. All signs
point to a Mighty blow for i~ndependes'ce
in the neal future. The Cubans IN the
field have within the last few weeks
sent the most encouraging reports to
the local patriots. Many of these nave
not been made public for the reason
that a strategic move Is about TO De
made which would not benefit by pub
LEFTY.
The death Of Canovas will very likely
hasten events. A letter received In thls
city from a colonel In the Cuban army
who Is now in Florida points to this
probability and shows clearly The state
of affairs. This officer is an American
and went to Cuba for the first time a
year ago. He was rapidly advanced for
experience and bravery. In part the
letter reads
"Ihave been to Cuba twice and am go
ing there again. I may be able to send
you some startling Information before
the rainy season ends. 1t is more than
probable that Havana, Matanzas n
Cienfuegos will be attacked simultane-
ously by us, and when we do enter that
combination we shall give a good ac-
count of ourselves. We have all the
men we need SO far, and our supplies Of
arms and ammunition are increasing
daily. The island is lost to the Span
iards. and when the fall OF '97 ceases to
be. then 1 think that the lone star will
o o be floating not only over the whole
island, but on top of MORO castle 1t

Matthias Hacker and Flog
lullnlnS

Bloomington, Ind, Aug. 1s.-Yester-
day morning at l O'Clock the door of the
residence of Matthias Hacker, residing
on Hackers creek. was broken open
with a heavy piece of timber and a
crowd OF masked men surged into the
house.
Mr.. Hacker, his son. daughter and a
oma from Martinsville were taken
from their beds and led outside the
house, where each received a severe
flashing with hickory switches. 1t is
stated that Mr.. Hacker and son were SO
roughly handled that they have been
confined to their beds since the whip
ping. The two women Jared a little bet
ter and We're not much hurt.
1t is alleged that for the last few
months certain actions of the family
had been the talk of the nelghborhood.
The affair seemed to cause very little
excitement in the vicinity and is not
generally known in the township.

FIRST BLOODSHE1
OF THE STRIKE TODAY
Strikers Marching to Plum Greek
Are Stopped blythe Deputies
on the Way.
ONE MAN HURT IN THE ROW
struck Over the Eye With n Brass
Musical Instrument--Condi-
tions We're stormy
for a Time.

Pittsburg, Aug. 14.-The first blood
since the miners strike began was
she'd this morning when Jacob Mott, -
drummer in n band which led one of
the section of marchers at Plum Creek,
got hit over the eye with one OF the
band instruments, making a deep cash
and causing a free flow of blood. This
body of marchers was on It's way TO
the Center school house at 5 O'Clock
this morning and was met by Sheriff
Richards and his deputies. The sheriff
ordered them back after reading the
courts order and the injunction issued
today, The. men refused and Leader
Lamber began to rush orwar with
the band. asserting their right to go
along the public highway. The depu-
ties resisted, and it became n scrimo
mage match. No weapons were used
and no blows struck, but in some way
Mott got cut as above. This checked
the struggle and the sheriff seized the
opportunity to read h injunction
again. The deputies again began to
shove the strikers back and after a
time they gave up and marched back
to camp followed by the deputies.
Several times it seemed rs if n bloody
conflict was unavoidable. but the self
control and persistency of the sheriff
and his men finally triumphed. The
strikers in camp at Turtle Creek
obeyed the injunction by refraining
from marching on the Oak Hill mine.
Instead it proceeded to the Springfield
mine and succeeded in inducing the
men to meet them this afternoon TO
discuss the situation.
During the morning about forty wo-
men appeared on the road leading to
Plum Creek, headed by the strikers
queen, Emma HASA, wearing a wreath
of daisies, and carrying Il flag. Ban
ners were displayed bearing such in
scriptions as "We are out for women's
rights, SO cents or bust" UNITED we
stand, divided we fail. It's bread and
butter we want"
The deputies lined up, and ordered
the crowd to disperse. One girl said
to a deputy: ooh, you're not so many.
We're not afraid of YOU"
The deputies received many taunts
and jeers, but the marchers were fin
ally persuaded to return home.
AS soon as the report of the trouble
at Plum Creek reached miners head
quarters. President Dolan left to inves-
tigate. He will bring Mott here and
have an information lodged against
Stewart, the deputy accused of strik-
ing Mott with the horn. Dolan will
advise the men to maintain camps, but
keep the peace. The attorney for tho
strikers says he will sue w. p. De Ar
mitt for perjury in connection with
the aflidavits made in the application
for an injunction yesterday.
The uniformity committee reports

agreement, including some OF the larg-
est firms. 80

WILL HAVE TO EXPLAIN.
Mr.. Bailey Must Tell What Was
nOna Nyith tho NSnuoy

Done With the Money.
Lead, Aug. 1S.-lt was generally
thought that the recent visit of Gov
ernor Andrew Lee to the Black Hills
was solely u pleasure trip. A few
knew, however, that he came here on
a matter of business. The governor
had ben requested to issue requisition
papers for the return of Henry E. Bal
ley to Rapid City, where he is wanted
for embezzlement. Governor Lee,
knowing of the prominence in finan-
cial circles of Mr.. Bailey, came to Rap
id City and personally Investigated the
MATTER, after which he issued the nee
essary papers. Governor Tanner of
Illinois has honored the requisition,
and Mr.. Bailey will be Immediately
forced to return and face a serious
charge. Bailey has been in Chicago
since 1895, where he held a responsible
position as general agent for the New
York Life Insurance company.
Mr.. Bailey stands indicted for the
embezzlement of several thousand
dollars from the Rapid Valley Horse
Ranch company, of which he was the
assignee. In December 1892, NJ. II.
Day, president of this company, exc
cuted an instrument of assignment to
Henry Z. Bailey, who became the as
signee for the creditors of the com
pany. Bailey at that time was a most
successful tinancicr. He was presi-
dent of the Bailey Loan company of
Rapid City; was interested in vari-
Gus banking enterprises in the Black
Hills and was known to have unlimit-
ed backing by George l.. Farwell, n
rich banker of Claremount, N. H., who
by the way failed about Il year ago
fled to Italy, causing at the time a
great sensation in the financial world.
Owing to Bailey's prominence and sue
cess in business circles it was pre-
sumed that he was a most reliable
man for the responsible duties of as
signee. He gave bonds in the sum of
$94 900, with ample sureties. In due
time Mr.. Bailey disposed of the prop
erty, receiving therefor the sun of
$4,000. At the time Of the sale he
paid expenses amounting to perhaps
81, 900; since that time he has paid to
creditors who did not acquiesce in the
assignment about So, 1000. He has also
paid to Mr.. Snyder, assignee for all
of the claims filed against the estate,
approximately $4,000. There is low
about $4,000 that has not been account
ed for.
After Bailey's departure for Chicago
action was brought against him and in
January, 1896, he was indicted for en-
bezzlement by the grand jury. He has
never stood trial, but his arrest at this
time is for the purpose of bringing the
case to trial and to permit Bailey to
show what has become of the So, 1000
that has not been accounted for in the
receipts from the sale of the Rapid
Valley horse ranch.

WEIGHT RATE TO BE ADOPTED
Cattle Men to Pay for just What
They Shin.

Pierre, Aug. 17.--It is reported OF
what can be considered as good an
thority, that the roads operating in
the Black Hills country will this year
put a weight rate, instead of carload
rates, on cattle. The cattlemen from
this section have long protested
against the discrimination made
against cattle from the eastern part of
the range by demanding IL weight rata
from here and giving the western por-
ton of the range car rates. If the or.
der is as reported this discrimination
has been removed, not in the way they
desired it to be changed, as they want
ed the car rates from here, but all
parts of the range will be on equal
footing. This order will make Il great
deal more difference to Pierre and Fort
Pierre than that of equal rates alone,
for without the discriminating rate in
their favor many of the shipments
which would go to Black Hills points
will come here. One of the best posted
men on range cattle says it viii make
n difference of at least $4,000 head in
the shipments from these points this
year.
There is no question hat grasshop-
pers are doing some damage along the
NliSSouIl NdlieS unu on une cheyenne
river range this season, The damage
they do this year is light, as they are
only found in limited qualities, and the
territory they work over is too small
to give any serious trouble. 1t is to
be hoped that what damage they do
this year will be all which will come to
the state from these pests, but they
may make far more trouble next year,
and everyone destroyed this year will
reduce any probability of their be-
coming more numerous in the future.
The situation is not onc which makes
great damage a certainty. but the con
ditions are such that it is not an i'm
probability.
The ~Episcopalians of North Dakota
have expressed their desire I t Rev.
Mr.. Chambers of this city, be selected
as the bishop to fill the vacancy in
that state caused by the selection of
Bishop Walker as the bishop of the
diocese of western New York. Rev.
Mr.. Chambers was for many years
connected with the church work in
North Dakota, being stationed at Bis
marck before coming here, and is
prominent in church affairs of that
state. His friends here hope that he
will be made the choice of the meeting
of the house of bishops, which will
meet in Milwaukee some time in Oc-
tober.
