DODCEVlLLE CHURCH WAR.
FOUR OF THE FIGHTING DEACONS
ARRESTED.
Squabble Over the Name of House
of Worship eliminates in a
Sensational Way.

Dodgeville, Wis, Aug. 10.-As
result of the church war between two
factions of the primitive Methodist
church over change Of name to the
Congregational church, four arrests
were made Monday evening in the per-
sons of T. H. Arthur, Frank P. Hook
ing, George Buntin and William Pri-
deaux, who are charged with taking
possession of the Congregational
church unlawfully. The complaint
charges them with entering into con-
spiracy to injure the Plymouth church
congregation and forcibly taking and
entering the church building while
armed with revolvers and clubs. Their
cases come up Saturday. The trouble
which had been brewing some time
eliminated Sunday when one Of the
factions took possession Of the church
and prevented services from being
held all day.

the ground fought over that the vic
tors were unable to pursue their ad-
vantage, and it is thought that the re-
suit of that battle was to save Missouri
to the union. Lyon marched from
SLriD gfield and defeated McCullOch at
Dug Spring and Il week later attacked
HIM at Wilson creek. Unknown to
Lyon, McCullOch had been heavily re-
inforced and the union troops Outnum-
bered three 10 one were defeated, and
General Lyon, who had been twice
wounded early in the fight, was shot
dead while leading a regiment in
desperate charge. General Lyon, who
who was a bachelor, had it was found,
beqUeathed all he possessed, about
$4,000, to the United States govern
ment to be used for war purposes.
The battlefield is situated twelve
miles southwest of this city. It's APP
pearance has been much changed by
the hand of the farmer during the Sc
years since Price and Lyon met on that
fatal August morning. Nest of the
ground covered by confederates the
night before the battle is now IN Gull
tivation On the west side of the creek
is a narrow strip of timber through
which the guns of both armies hurled
their deadly missiles. The older trees
still bear the marks of the cannon
balls and shells, and many recent
gashes made with axes show the work
of the relic hunters. The Ray house,
where General Lyons body lay till the
battle was over, has been repaired in
several ways since that memorable
day, but the general appearance of the
building is unchanged.

Topeka, Kas., Aug. 10.-The long
threatened clash between the United
States courts and the authorities OF the
state of Kansas came Monday when
Attorney General Boyle, acting upon
the advice and with the concurrence
of the state administration, took action
in the state courts in open defiance Of
the federal authorities. This action
Monday is the outcome of an injunc-
ton issued July 10Th last by United
States District Judge Williams of Ar
kansas at Colorado Springs, Col, by
which he positively enjoined State In
surance Commissioner Webb McNeel
and Attorney General Boyle of Kansas
from bringing any proceedings what
ever under the state laws to prevent
mutual life insurance company from
doing business in Kansas. The lnjunc-
ton of Judge Williams was sweeping
and amounted, according to Governor
Leedy, Attorney General Boyle and
Commissioner McNeel, to a practical
annulment of the criminal law of Kan
sas under which the insurance COM
pany involved had been barred from
the transaction of business in Kansas.
Acting on this belief Attorney General
Boyle went before the state supreme
court and brought proceedings in quo
warranto against the mutual life insur-
ance company to compel that corpora
ton to appear before the state supreme
court and show by what authority it
was transacting business in Kansas.
Attorney General Boyle having done
precisely what the injunction of Judge
Williams forbade him doing, the pre-
sumption is that the federal judge will
cause his arrest and imprisonment for
contempt. In this event an applica-
ton for a writ of habeas corpus will
be made to the United States supreme
court and in such proceeding the at
torney general would have the support
of the entire state administration.
Governor Leedy declares that the issue
must be fought to termination.

SOUTH DAKOTA PAYS OFF ITS

Sioux Falls, S. D., July 10
Especial. 1.-THE people of South Da-

they are now paying off at a very 'ap-
id rate. AS things are now going the
people of the state, and especially the
farmers, vii! soon be we'll out of debt.
The large crop of the last few years,
coupled with the close times, have
had the effect of giving the people an
appetite for getting out of debt, and
fortunately has also given them the
ability to do So"
lIark Russell, who represents loan
company which has several million
dollars loaned on farm property in
South Dakota, adds his testimony to
that of DR.. Mckinney. Mr. Russell's
company stands ready to and is anX-

Canovas was waiting for his wife in a
bathing establishment at Santa Ague-
da, when killed.
The attendants Immediately seized
the man and were upon the point of
lynching him when detectives and
other officers interfeTed and arrested
the fellow. The murderer is a Neapol-

conspiracy among the anarchists to
bring about the death of the premier.
Great excitement has been created
by the killing of the premier and the
leaders of all parties are most vigOr-
GUS in the denunciation of the murder
Senior Canoyas del Castillo and his
wife were present at the celebration of
mass in the chapel attached to the
baths. After mass the premier was

The premier was carried to his room
and expired after extreme JUNCTION had

Rinaldi and claimed that the deed was
the outcome of an extensive anarchist
conspiracy. Later, however, the as
sassin confessed that his real name
was Michael Angine Coli, that he was
20 years of age, a native of Boggia,
near Naples, and that he left Italy and
came to Spain in 1896. After reaching
Spain, Coli, according to his confess
sion, resided at Barcelona and partici-
archist societies of that place and
vicinity. After sojourning at Barcelo-
ma for some time he visited France
and Belgium and returned to Spain IN
July last. After his return the anarch-
list seemed to have completed the
plans for the assassination of the prime
minister. He left Madrid for Santa

Coli, the assassin, represented him

The prisoner cannot be tried under
the laws providing for the trial and
punishment of anarchists, as this law
is so framed that persons prosecuted
under its provisions must have used or
attempted to use explosives in commits
sion or attempt to commit the crime
charged against him. However, there
is no doubt but Coli will be summarilv
tried and sentenced

PREPARE FOR SHORTAGE.
Railroads Filling Their Coal Sheds in
the Northwest.

West Superior, Wis, Aug. 10.-Coal
people are finding a frmer feeling in
trade. The railroad companies are Or
dering out their coal more promptly
this season and are filling their coun-
try sheds so as to have a supply of
coal on hand in the event of a short
age. There is an impression that
prices may be advanced at the mines
on account of the strike, and this,
coupled with advancing lake rates,
makes it seem probable that prices
will be higher. The receipts are very
light and consist almost altogether of
West Virginia coal. Some Of the
docks here have not had a cargo of
soft coal for over a month.
