opportunity to determine a contest on
a foul. Neither of you, I am sure de-
sires to Win the coming contest on
technicality and to avoid any such con-
tingency through hitting in clincheS
and with a free arm and in a break
away, will rule:
THAT you be permitted to hit in
clincheS with one arm free and also on
breakaways. With this interpretati ton.
this rule announced a week before the
contest you will both have ample time
to practice these important points and
will have no cause for complaint should
each of you be caught off your guard.
PIVOT blows. missing with either hand
and whipping back with the elbow,
meeting an opponent with or deliber-
ately striking him with the elbow, or
knees are barred and will be considered
foul.
Should any of the above blows have
any material effect on the result of the
contest I shall use my judgment ac-
cordingly.
Should any of the seconds of either
principal enter the ring during a round
to render any assistance to the fighters
or prevent them from committing a
foul or to throw water upon them, it
shall be considered a foul.
Coaching by the seconds during the
rounds is Objectionable to everybody
and is apt to create discord and argu-
ment. Both of you have undoubtedly
mapped out your plans of attack and
defense and need no advice from your
respective seconds The latter will
therefore, refrain from making any
comment during the contest.
Trivial fouls may be Internationally
committed by either of you which, I'M
less they have a direct bearing on the
result, will be overlooked by me at my
discretion. This believe covers all the
points. Both of you are thoroughly ac-
quainted with the Marquis of Queens
berry rules not touched upon by me
and I hope to see you both live strictly
up to them
with a fair field, no favors, no pref
udice, remain, yours very truly,

Burglary Mt Redwood Falls.

Redwood Falls, Mimi, Aug. l. \
vigilant lookout is being kept in the
south part of the county for robbers
who did some plundering in Walnut
Grove. In early morning the front
door of the postoffice was forced open.
A quarter-inch hole was drilled in the
safe door and a sufficient quantity of
explosives put in the safe to break the
fastenings Of the door and throw it
off its hinges. About $3.50 worth of
postage stamps and $50 in money were
carried off. The blacksmith shop of
Johnson Bros. was broken. into and
some depredations done there. The
carriage of Thomas Norton was drawn
up to the stable of A. Evans, a horse
was taken out Of the stable and an
effort made to hitch it to the buggy,
but as the horse was not broken it was
put back into the stable again and the
burglars were forced to use their legs
in escaping instead Of horsefesh as
they had planned.

CATTLEMEN SUE,
They Will Find Out About Seizures
on the Reservations.

They Will Find Out About Seizures
on the Reservations.
Rapid City, S. D., Aug. 1.-The late
detention of cattle at Pine Ridge
agency by Agent Clapp develops into
a .hotly contested legal fight Yester-
day answers in 'twenty-three cases
were filed by cattlemen in this city.
The fight is not to get out of paying
the ransom of 81 a head, but rather to
make an end to all future corralling OF
cattle on the reservation. The boun-
dairy line between the reservation and
the cattle ranges is imaginary as far
as wandering cattle are concerned.
The cattlemen contend that if Agent
Clapp is sustained by the courts there
will be nothing to prevent a repetition
of the rounding at any time. 1t would
be impossible for the cattlemen to
keep stock from drifting onto the res
ervation or to prevent Indians from
driving the cattle across the line into
their possessions, *9and then holding
them for ransom. On the other hand,
the Indians say that each year their
range on the reservation is eaten by
the stray cattle from across the line.

Made Insane by Her Husbands
Drunken Abuse.
Redwood Fails, Mimi, Aug. John
O'Connell, well known farmer and
prominent politician of Westline town
ship, Redwood county, was murdered
after midnight Saturday morning at
his farm house. Seven gashes were
cut into his scalp by some blunt iron
instrument, three of which broke the
scalp in as many different places, and
these caused death. After the blows
had been inflicted, O'Connells clothes
We're saturated with kerosene and his
home was set on fire. Although his
body was recovered after being badly
burned, the house was burned to the
ground.
1t was at first thought that he had
| been accidentally burned to death in
his home, but the statements of the
three oldest OF the nine O'Connell
children, made to the county authori-
ties, are to the effect that Mrs. O'Con-
nell, wife of the murdered man was
the sole author of the horrible deed.
1t appears that O'Connell and a neigh
Dor, Charles Gahagan. returned home
from Amiret about 8 o'clock Friday
night. Both were drunk, and O'Con-
nell brought home a jug Of whisky.
Gahagan soon left the place, but
O'Connell continued imbibing the con-
tents OF the jug.
Mrs. O'COnnell retired about II, ard
O'COnnell an hour later. A quarrel
must have occurred between them be-
cause O,Connell soon came down
| stairs and retired to an annex, where
he fell asleep. Shortly afterwards
| Mrs. O'Connell came down and re-
moved the nine children from the
house. The oldest one, boy II years
old, foreseeing trouble, left for neigh
boris for assistaD"e. While he was
| gone, according to the stories of the
two girls, Mrs. O'COnnell screaming
that there were cattle thieves in the
barn, left her children in the weeds
and rushed into tho house in frenzied
condition, where she dealt the fatal
blows with churn dasher or some in
strument probably of iron. Shortly
afterWard the house was enveloped in
flames, and when help arrived O'Con-
nell's badly burned body was taken
| from the fire. A cOrOner'S jury was
empaneled and returned a verdict OF
death from violence at the hands of
unknown persons, and it was not until
yesterday, when a post-mortem was
held, that the facts came out.
Mrs. O'Connell is still irrational, and
pretends not to know that O'Connell is
dead. The sheriff took charge of all
evidence bearing en- the crime, and yes
terday afternoon County Attorney
Clague authorized the arrest of Mrs
OConnell, the 17-year-old son, the
eldest daughter and person named
James Bennett, who has been staying
at OConnells house during the past
summer, but who claims to have been
away on the nightso the crime. Ben
nett was lodged is.@jail here last night
O'Connell was 80 years old and was
well liked by his neighbors. His wife's
antipathy to drink was strong, and his
abuse of her and the children while I'm
der it's influence may have driven her
to temporary insanity and the com.
mission of the crime
