A sudden and unexpected change in the
political situation in southeastern Europe

BY forced Germany and Turkey out OF the
game, to all intents and purposes. When
the ministers received official advices from
Sofia that orders had been issued for
partial mobilization Of the Bulgarian army,
possibly at the instigation Of Russia, there
was hurried consultation of the ministers.
The war party favored further defiance,
hut in the end pacific counsels prevailed,
Tor orders were telegraped Edhem Pasha
% cease hostilities.
1t transpires that the czar made direct
appeal to the sultan to order his troops to
cease hostilities and arrange an armistce,
and this, coupled with the fact that most
serious results would have ensued II
Turkey hal persisted in her defiant atti-
tude, brought about the present state OF
affairs. Tewfk Pasha, the Turkish min
ister Of foreign affairs, called upon the

THE NEWS OF THE DAY
SOUTH DAKOTA HAPPENINGS IN
CONDENSED FORM.
Tho Saloon License Election at
Hudson will Not be Contested in
the COurts-This Action Taken on
Advice OF the States Attorney.
Decide Not to Contest.

The temperance people Of Hudson have
decided to drop the subject of contesting
the vote on the saloon license question.
The question involving the legality OF the
vote taken the Sd inst. was submitted to
the states attorney for Lincoln County,
who decided that while there was no doubt
that the election was illegally submitted,
the courts would probably take the ground
that II the terms of the law had been car
ried out there is no probability that the re-
suit would have been any different in this
case. Accordingly the attorney advises
against the idea of contesting the election,
and the matter has been dropped. Two
saloon men have made application for
licenses and will no doubt be served.

AN ARIZONA TALE OF BLOOD
Ahuvote, the Piute Assassin, Slain by
Member OF HE Own Tribe.


A dispatch from Kingman, Ariz., says:
Ahuvote, the notorious Piute Indian, who
has in the last three days murdered not
less than ten white men, Is dead. He met
his fRte at the hands of members of his
own tribe, who were compelled by miners
in Eldorado cannon to trail the murderer
to death, the penalty for their failure to do
do so being fixed at the humiliation Of
every Piute the miners could reach.
The miners congregated in Eldoraao
canon and told the Piutes that If they did
not bring or kill Ahuvote they would kill
every Piute they could reach. The In
dians followed him down the river, found
where he made his last landing and trailed
him ten miles up the canon into the noun
tains, where they crept up and shot him as
he was going over the range.
The board of supervisors OF Nojave
County, Arizona, offered reward Of $3.50
for Ahuvote and Mouse, who murdered
Davis and Stems last February.
Over 100 white men and Indians joined
in the chase for the murderer. Telephone
advices from White Hills, fifty miles north,
state that fifteen armed Piute Indians came
into town and made threats that if the
whites molested them they would do more
killing. A deputy sheriff attempted to dis.
arm them, but got only one gun.

Court Decision Affecting TRADEMARK

Court Decision Affecting Trademark
An important decision concerning rights
in trademarks and names of preparations
has been rendered by the Philadelphia
court of common pleas restraining George
A. Hires, namesake of Charles +. Hires,
from manufacturing and selling prepara-
ton under the name of Hires Rootbeer In
their decision the judges said: 1t is estab-
lished that an article of commerce known
as ''Ilires Rootbeer," by a long and costly
method of advertisement, has attained a
trade mark and value peculiar to itself.
The sales have reached an extraordinary
yearly volume. The respondent Hires, a
kinsman of the plaintiff, is about to manu-
facture and place on the market for sale q
root beer which in all the externals of
physical preparation might be termed a
complete reproduction of the plaintiff 8
preparation and device. The testimony
in the case, we think, makes it individually
clear that the respondents purpose was to
fabricate an article of trade which resem-
bled the plaintiff s article, and thereby de-
ceive and mislead purchasers. We find,
therefore, that the allegations of the plain
tiff's bill are established and that the tenn
porary Injunction prayed for should be
awarded.

place the ore will be unloaded at the smell
ter for treatment. Building and improve
ments of every kind are progressing
rapidly in both Preston and Balmoral now
that the snow has disappeared. The hotel

greatly increased: and benefited by the
opening of the Mcdonald hotel, a large

do credit to a town of more pretensions. A
wagon road has also been completed from
the Dacy shaft to Crown hill station which

A Fine Trout Lake.

The sporting season is on in the Black
Hills. Just at present the lovers of sport
are coming from all parts to Canon Lake,
near Rapid City. A few years ago this
body Of water was stocked with trout and
so well have they thrived that they are
now found in great numbers and afford
excellent sport. 1t is the only place in the
Hills where trout are to be found, which
makes the place all the more attractive.
The lake is artiticially made by damming
up the waters Of Rapid Creek. One en-
terprising boy of Rapid City has started
an angle worm farm. He has made study
of the creature and now raises them by
the thousand for so much dozen.

who was lost in the terrible storm of last
Thanksgiving, with large number of his
sheep, has been fonnd within half mile
of his ranch. The sheep lost at the time
have been found in scattered punches in
different draws and gulches since the snow
has disappeared from them. The loss of
Lewis and so many sheep was considera-
bic of mystery at the time, but can be
accounted for OH the theory that Lewis did
not keep with the sheep for any great
length of time, and that they scattered and
were lost in small punches, making large
herd in total, but not many at any one

When the big crowd gathered at the
Academy Of Music In New York Monday
to witness the Corbett- Fitzsimmons fight
on canvas they saw many things that were
surprising, and many things over which
they will gossip for days. Some time ago
w. A. Brady, Corbett's manager, told the
newspapers Of q foul blow by Fitzsimmons
which he had discovered in the veriscope
films, The public was skeptical and the
subject was dropped. The foul blow is
pictured in the veriscope, nevertheless.
There Is not the shadow OF doubt of it.
But as to its effect on the result Of the fight
there Is only one thing to be said. Corbett
would have been knocked out anyway. 1t
was the solar plexus punch that did the
business, not the foul rap on the jaw.
Nevertheless, the blow was foul, techni-

will be presented to the Turkish govern

with peace conditions, but merely repeats
the request for an armistice, and declares
the powers will not permit Greece to be

Mrs. Emma Stone, a Restaurant
keeper, Killed for Her Money.
Mrs. l.. p. Stone was found murdered in
bed Saturday morning at Deadwood. A
cleaver had been used to commit the deed
with, and only one blow appears to have
been struck. 1t was of sufficient force to
almost cut the head in two between the
bridge Of the nose and the forehead. Rob-
berry was the motive, as shown by the con-
ditiOn of the room in which she slept.
A mob threatened to lynch Charles
Brown, arrested for the murder of Mrs.
Stone Saturday night, but he managed to
secure few days more of life through the
intercession of Col. Stone, husband of the
victim. Mr.. Stone was not certain of the
negro's guilt. The 2,0OO people who sur
rounded the Jail finally dispersed, declar-
ing, however, that they would lynch
Brown later if his guilt was proved.
