strychnine in a Well.

In the eastern end of Sully County a,
neighborhood feud has been in progress
for many years, resulting in numbcrless
lawsuits and personal encounters between
the members of the different factions.
The latest development in that direction
is an attempt to poison the we'll upon the
farm of q. w. Grass, the leader of one
of the factions. The attempt consisted
in placing a large amount of stryci-,
nine on a piece of bread and dropping
it into the we'll. The piece of bread was
drawn up with probably the first bucket Of
water taken out after it was dropped. and
from some reason suspicious were aroused
and physician called to examine it. He.
pronounced the bread and water to con-
tain large amount of strychnine, and
portion of the bread when fed to the chick;
ems caused death in a few minutes. Strong
efforts are being made to discover who the
mlscreant was who thus attempted the
lives of the family, and if found lie will
find his path a dangerous one, as the feel.
ing of the factions was at hot pitch with
out this last outrage.

Cattlen,en Protest.

The detention of cattle at Pine Ridge
Agency by Agent Clapp is about to develop
into hotly contested legal fight Answers
in twenty-three cases were filed in the fed
eral court at Rapid City by the attorneys
for the cattlemcn in that city. The fight
is not made to get out of paying the ram
som money of 81 head, but rather to put
an end to all future corraling of cattle on
the reservation. The boundary line be-
tween the reservation and the ranges is
surveyed, but is imaginary as far as wan
dering cattle are concerned. The cattle-
men contend that if Agent Clapp is sus-
tained by the courts there will he nothing
to prevent repetition of the roundup this
spring. 1t would be impossible for the
cattlemen to keep their stock, some of it,.
from drifting during the winter storms.
onto the reservation, or, worse yet, there
would be nothing to prevent the Indians
from driving the cattle across the line into
their possessions and then holding them
for ransom. On the other hand, the In
dians say that each year their range on the
reservation is eaten by the stray cattle
from across the line. 1t is a question Of:
great interest to the stOckmen.

IRISH POLITICAL PRISONERS.
Redmond's Efforts Will Probably
Result I'm Their Release.

As result of the efforts of John Red
mond, the Parncllite leader in the British
parliament, it is probable the government
will soon release the five remaining Irish
political prisoners, Wilson, Burton, Dali
ton, Flanagan and Featherstone, now un-
dergoing sentences of penal servitude for
life in Portland prison.
Sir Mathew White-R Ridley, home Sec
retary has already promised to treat
them as convicted under the dynamite
act of 1893, which carries a maximum
penalty of twenty years. Imprisonment
instead of under the treason and felony
act tof 1913. Deducting for "good conduct
communication" the term of imprisonment
would be fifteen years. All five have now
entered the fifteenth year of their i'm
prisonment. 1t is thought probable that
the forthcoming visit of the Duke and
Duchess Of York to Ireland will be signal
lied by the release of all Irish political
DriSuners

Japan Accepts Hawaii's Offer for n
Settlement of Their Dispute.
Japan has accepted the offer of Hawaii
to arbitrate the dispute over the landing of
japanese immigrants in Hawaii. A brief
synopsis of the acceptance was cablcd the
japanese minister in Washington and was
given the state department. 1t says Japan
accepts the principle of arbitration and is
ready TO negotiate terms of settlement.
When advised of this move by Japan, the
officials i'll the state department informed
the secretary of the japanese legation that
until annexation was concluded the United
States would stand aside and consider the
dispute us between Japan and Hawaii.
The secretary said he was glad the
United States took that position, as it
would permit Japan to send two OF three
warships TO Hawaii, pending the final
action of the treaty of arbitration.
This declaration was rather a surprise to
the state department officials, who replied
that that was quite another matter, and
intmated that non-interference by the
United States in one case could not be con-
strued as passive acceptance of the other.

splendid crop prospects. The task of adj
justing the business and industries of the
country to conditions created by a new
law has progressed with gratifying
rapidity and ease. Even the increasing
strength of the striking coal miners prob
ably forwards the adoption of the uniform
ity plan, which promises to remove most
of the causes of such struggles. Some con-
fusion is caused by events seemingly con-
tratlictory-by the closing of large cotton
mills when many other works are starting
and by declines in some prices when
others are advancing, but the balance is
unmistakably ON the right side.
Wheat has risen 4s4 cents during the
week, with western receipts for the first
time exceeding last years. The fact that
corn exports exceed last years, although
the price has advanced to 32.87 cents, is
further proof that the foreign demand is
substantial. With crop news still favor
able producers may probably realize some-
thing like SSO,0OO,00O more than last year
on wheat, which means great difference
in purchases by agricultural states. Corn
also advanced 1.25 cents and cotton a six
tcenth, though reports as to yield are good.

harvest is general with indications of fair

Corn, potatoes, millet, flax and grasses are
doing finely; corn is gaining steadily and
rapidly approaching the seasonal average
of advancement. 1t is in healthy condi-

Potatoes are very promising and new

Guilty ut Last.

Charles W.Spalding. cx-presidcnt of the
Globe Savings Bank of Chicago, was found
guilty Saturday of embezzlement and his
punishment was fixed ut imprisonment in
the penitentiary. The specific charge
against Spalding was the cmbezzlcment of
bonds of Macoupin County, Illinois. be-
longing to the State University of Illinois,
of which Spalding was treasurer, and
valued at $2s,0OO. This was Spalding's
third trial, and the evidence SUBJ
mtted to the jury was practically
the same as on the for
mcr trials. On those lie was acquitted be-
cause the jury believed that he hypotlle-
Gated without "intcnt to embezzle." The
third jury found him guilty on the same
grounds on which lie was twice acquitted,
the only difference being that they took a
different view of Spaldimg's intentions.
The prisoner took the verdict very hard,
and sat with bowed head while the clerk
read the finding of the jury. He will make
hard fight before he goes to the peniten-
tiary, and will carry the case un to the last
court. The duration of his sentence will
be settled by the prison board of the state.

p. m. Thomas Jones, 63-year-old con-
feeierate veteran, highly respected, was
killed by Issiah Davis, colored. The police
with difficulty rescued him from mob
and lodged in Jail, which is strongly con-
structed. so that it would be impossible to
rccapture him without great loss of life.
All night determined crowd remained
outside the Jail, but knew the futility of
an attack, and awaited an opportunity
when the prisoner was removed.
Mayor Bush called out the local. troops,
but of the 800 composing the First Brigade
only IS responded. With the officers they
lay under arms all night. The coroner's
jury and lower court held Davis for MUIR
der.
Between IL and Thursday morning a
negro named Willie Knight shot and killed
another negro named Dentzler. AS he
was being chased by officers Knight shot
and mortally wounded Policeman Joe
Tucker. For the latter offense he will
probably die if the residents of the north
part of the city can get at him.
