San Francisco, March 22.-Theodore
Durrant has by no means given up the
fight for his life. George A. Knight has
been added to his counsel and is now
preparing a petition asking the supreme
court for rehearing of the application
previously made and denied, for a new
trial If this petition, which will be sub
mitted without argument, be denied, as
the district attorney anticipates there
will then only remain the possibility of
securing the interference of the federal
courts in Durrants behalf. Failing in
that only the action of the governor can
step between the condemned man and the

the president of the Womans Christian
Temperance Union to President McKin-

ing for their influence to prevent the

necessity of grave consideration in the

that sometimes SO obscure the reason
and blind the judgment as to lead
voters through party zeal, to elect men
to office, when, in their calm, deliber-
ate senses they would regret the act

But the first selection is not SO separ-

"A Serious Custer County A,.r.y

On Monday DIR. Hargens was called
into Custer county. to the old Fleur

of Charley Miller, who had been the
victim of IL cutting atfray by Samuel
Basford. 1t is told that Mr.. Basford
claims to have Il lease of the Fleur de

who owned it. while Herbert Mann
claims to have purchased the ranch of
Mr.. Carrigan. Basford, who is at pres

of sending his children to school and
to keep college boarders. heard that
somebody had taken charge of the
ranch and with his wife went up to see
about it last Saturday. That evening.
after dark, they went after the first
person they came across, which proved
to be Charley Miller, and cut him up
pretty severely-so badly that he con.
tinued to lose SO much blood that DIR

found Miller considerably lacerated
about the head and face and across one
arm. The knife used was evidently (;
very dull one or the cutting would
have been more serious. Before the
fracas was ended, Herbert Mann, the
fellow that Basford's are said to have
really wanted, came upon the scene
and put an end to the struggle. Mr.
Basford was placed under arrest and
taken to Custer. These are the facts
of the unfortunate affair as near as We
have been able to CLEAN them.

tie from the Black Hills ranges than
were shipped last year. This makes
an average increase of 800 head each

Omaha has furnished the best market
for the Black Hills stock growers for
the reason that stockers and feeders
have been in such great demand at that
market owing to the enormous corn
crop in Nebraska and western Iowa. 1t
