RORSETHlEF KILLS HIMSELF
Bad Man from South Dakota Cuts His
Throat While on Rail-
road Train.

SIOUX CITY, Ia, Nov. 3O.-(Special Tel
egram)-A wildly tragic suicide OF a Black
Hills horsethief and alround desperate
took place at noon today on train of the
Sioux City & Western near Sioux City. The
smoking car of the train was crowded at
the time. The man was Harry Rogers, who
was being taken by Sheriff Sweeney and a
deputy from Butte county, South Dakota, to
the pententary. The prisoner was known as
a dangerous man, one who would shoot or
kill in a desperate attempt to make his
escape.
The officers had kept the man between
them all the way and most of the time
he had been laughing and joking. When
the train was moving along at a rapid rate
Rogers spoke to the deputy, who was sitting
just in front OF him, asking for his pocket
knife, saying he wanted to clean his finger
nails. Thoughtlessly the request was
granted and in second the big fellow
seemed to become a wild maniac. He let
out an exutant whoop and made 2 dash at
the conductor of the train. The next minute
he cut cash in his own throat and just at
this minute the sheriff pulled gun and
was about to. fire, when Rogers turned.
Hold on there" shouted the sheriff, and
the passengers made wild dives under the
seats. Rogers saw he was looking down
the barrels of two big revolvers. His eyes
were wild, his face ghasty and blood Nas
flowing from the wound in his neck He
still kept the knife in his stained hands.
He made a lunge forward and hesitated as
though he knew it meant instant death to
go further.
Then it was he held up his left hand in
a deprecatng sort of a way, which plainly
said, Don't shoot" and with four terrible
stabs in quick succession he sent the sharp
blade of the knife deep into his neck. With
an awful oath that made the blood of his
hearers run cold, an oath which was half
wall and half curse, the horsethief fell on
his back and expired instantly on the floor
of the car Not until he was dead did the
frightened passengers recover their senses
and even then they kept out of the car until
the body of the desperate had been re-
moved.
The South Dakota officers will return to
the Black Hills with their dead prisoner
The conductor of the train, Tom DeLong
had the nearest escape at the hands of the
man, as he was sitting just across the
aisle, but the revolver in the hands of
Sheriff Sweeney probably saved him.

DENISON, Ia, Nov. 3O.-(Special Tele-
gram News reaches here today Of ter
rible cutting affray at Schleswig, new
town on the Mondamin branch of the North
western railway
The fight had its origin in Tipping nickel
for the drinks One of the Mayne boys, liv-
ing in Ida county, six miles north of
Schleswig, lost, but kept the nickel and re-
fused to pay for the drinks. A fight soon
followed between the Mayne boys and Pat
McDonough and Pete Gilmore. two railroad
ers. The Maynes had knives, but the rail-
readers were not armed.
Gilmore's throat was cut from the back
OF the neck to the chin and his face from
the ear to the mouth. His jugular vein was
also cut. McDonough was cut in the abdo-
men, making a cash through which his in
testines protruded His hand was also badly
cut. Jim Maynes' hand was cut by broken
glass.
The two wounded men were taken on a
special train to the hospital at Carroll and
1t Is reported that McDonough cannot live.
The Maynes left Immediately after the row.
When word reached the railroad camp
the men Immediately organized in parties
of fifteen each to capture them. They did
not succeed but had they done so a lynching
would have followed.
In the evening of the same day the night
operator at the Northwestern station was
held up and robbed of a small amount.

PRAISE DUE TO SALISBURY
Has Improved the Position of Eng
land in Its Foreign Reln-
lions.

LONDON, Nov. 30.-.Ioseph Chamberlain,
the secretary of state for the colonies, in
speech at a luncheon at Leicester today
said that ever since the great split in the
liberal party he had found himself a mark
for the slander and misrepresentation of
the "baser sort of politicians" but that
he had found compensation in the generous
appreciation of the majority of his country
men.
Continuing, Mr.. Chamberlain said he was
deeply gratfed that the foreign relations
Of Great Britain were so satisfactory and
asserted that the country owed debt OF
gratitude to Lord Salisbury for the great
improvement in Great Britain's position.
1t was especially gratifying, he said. to
note the friendly relations existing between
the Anglo-Saxon branches, saying that the
understanding between the United States
and Great Britain was indeed a guaranty
of the peace of the world.
This statement was greeted with cheers.
1t was of the utmost importance, Mr..
Chamberlain further remarked, that Great
Britain should not remain isolated in Eu-
rope and its natural alliance was with the
great German empire. They had had diff
culties with Germany, but their interests
and sentiments were the same.
The world, he asserted was not governed
entirely by interest. Sentiment was one of
the greatest factors.
Referring to the attacks of the foreign
press Mr.. Chamberlain said these news
papers had not even spared 1.-THE almost
sacred person OF the queen" This, con-
tinued the speaker, provoked natural indig
nation, (which may have serious conse-
quences if our neighbors do not mend their
ways"
An outburst of cheering greeted this threat
OF the colonial secretary.
1t was a matter for congratulation Mr..
Chamberlain asserted, that the worst of
these "disgraceful attacks" did not appear
in the German press.
A new triple alliance between the Teutonic
race and the two great branches of the
Anglo SaXons would, said the colonial secre-
tary, be a potent influence in the future of
the world.
The speaker explained that he used the
word alliance" but T. mattered little
whether hey Lad az aa 4sIiCe cu.nElittSt! to
paper or ian understanding which existed
in the minds of the statesmen of the re-
spective countries. determination in
every case to look for favorable motives

vantage to both the nations concerned and

LITTLE CHANGE IN HAYWARD
Past Twcnty-Four Hours DO rot Work
Much Change In the Patients
Condition.

NEBRASKA CITY. Nov. 30.-(Special
Telegram. THE condition of Senator Hay.
ward this evening shows little change from
what it was twentyfour hours ago. He
passed an uncomfortable night and has been
very restless and uneasy today. d. Whit
ten spent most of the night at his bed
side and has watched him closely during
the day. At 6 o'clock tonight he issued
the following bulletin:
Senator Hayward has had 4 very rest
less day, having slept very little. His tenn
perature is 100 pulse 50, regular and softer
than in the morning; respiration "a and still
intermitting He is more conscious of his
condition, as he manifested more concern
about himself. Paralysis remains the
same"
The fact that the patient is more con-
scious of his condition is taken by DR..
Written as a good symptom, in that it
shows that his mind is brighter and more
free, indicating partial absorption of the
clot, and yet if he becomes greatly con-
cerned and worried the effect is likely to
be unfavorable.
Major f. B. Hayward, the senator's
brother. together with his wife, arrived
from Davenport Ia, at $50 this morning
and has been at his brothers. bedside almost
the entire day. The scene in the sick room
upon the majors entrance was very affect
ing Senator Hayward recognized his
brother instantly and apparently made a
supreme effort to speak to him. Failing to
utter a single ntellible word, he burst into
tears and could not be quieted for some
time. Mrs. Hayward was finally prevailed
upon to take a few hours rest last night
and as a consequence is feeling much better
physically today. However, her concern
about her husbands condition is as great as

HIGH PRICE FOR RANGE STOCK
Bunch of Hereford steers Sold Mt
Denver Bring the Highest Price
Paid Since 1882.

DENVER, Nov. SO.-The record price on
range cattle for the present year, probably
for the last fifteen years, was made in Den
yer today, when a bunch of twelve Hereford
steers, born and raised in North park Col
orado, was sold by Clay, Robinson e. Co. to
the Colorado Packing company for $5.75 per
100 pounds. The steers averaged a weight
Of 1862 pounds each and brought the own
ers $S9.25 each.
They were bred from range cows and reg
istered Hereford bulls, and were 8 and 4
years old. They were bred by Monte Blew
ems Of North park, Colorado, and were the
property of his children. The highest price
recorded in this country this year on grass
fed cattle was $3.50, paid in Chicago recently.
The price paid here would be equal to So per
100 pounds in Chicago This is the highest
price paid for range cattle anywhere since
1882. The steers in question were fattened
on the range and have never eaten anything
but hay and grass.

BIG CHICAGO RAILWAY DEAL
Union Traction Company Purchases
the YcrI<cs Interests in Subur-
ban Lines.

CHICAGO, Nov. 30.-The Chicago Union
Traction cOmpany's purchase of the Yerkes
Interests in the suburban lines composing
the Chicago Consolidated Traction company,
which was announced yesterday, will be
followed in a very short time, it is said by
the purchase of the Yerkes interests in the
suburban railroad company. Negotiations
are already under way, but terms will not
be arranged until after the purchase of the
Consolidated company's lines has been COM
pleted and the cash has been paid over.
The Suburban Railroad company operates
thirty miles of track west of the city limits
and serves as a feeder to the Metropolitan
and Lake Street Elevated railroads, For
this reason its acquisition has not been con-
sidered SO important by the Union Traction
company people as the acquisition of the
Consolidated company's lines owned by the
Union Traction company itself. The capital
stock of the Suburban road is 81 $50, 900 and
there are per cent gold bonds to the same
amount outstanding.
When this purchase has been made Mr..
Yerkes will have disposed of the last particle
of his interests in surface roads in Chicago
with the exception of his stock in the Union
Traction company itself.
