Big George Guilty.

Madison. Wis, Jan. 6.-"Big George"
the Indian who killed Swan Swanson, a
Swede, on the FIambeau reservation
September 16 last, was found guilty OF
manslaughter by the jury i'll the federal
court, and to-day sentenced TO ten years
in the Minnesota prison at Saltwater,
the maximum penalty. Sentence was
first made to thestate prison at Waupun.
but it was discovered that the legisla-
ture two years ago passed an act which
would make it illegal to send United
States prisoners to the states prison for
SO long term OF years. The jury was
out over seven hours i'll reaching a. de-
cisiOn and returned sealed verdict at
1890 this morning.
When George was indicted for murt3er
the district attorney says it was not ex-
pected that he would be convicted of a
more serious crime than manslaughter.
He was drunk at the time he killed
Swanson and there appeared to be no
motive of malice, necessary to sustain
the charge OF murder. Swanson, it is
said, was bringing liquor on to the res
ervation and he and George Travelled
from Ashland on the same train. George
wanted a drink, which Swanson refused
him. and the killing resulted.

1t is said that in some towns OF the
state dealers in game have discovered an
ingenious method OF getting around the
law 'ohibiting the sale of venison at
this season, and one of the provisions OF
that law is the loophole by which they
can defy it. The law directs that the
venison seized after the expiration OF
the season shall be sold at public auc-
ton and this was done III a great many
cases during the month of December in
various places where meat was exposed
for sale or served at hotels. The dealers
Immediately bought the venison from
the game wardens sale and soon after it
be Gan to appear on the menus and in the
dealers places OF business The game
wardens quickly ATTEMPTED 20 stop the
sale aud use of the meat and to seize the
carcasses, but the dealers claimed that
the meat sold was the identical carcass
which they they had purchased from the
the wardens' confscatIOn sale. The war
dens had no means Of proving that the
meat offered by the dealer was hot that
which they had sold according to law,
even though it appeared continuously III
the market, and manifestly could not
be the same Cold storage carcasses be
gan to appear in great numbers and the
officers OF the law We're somewhat per-
picked by the state OF affairs. -Evenln9

Prospect That the Next Convention

SEATTLE, Wash, October 25.-The Ma
tona1 w. c. T. U. closed it's twenty-sixth
annual convention and silver jubilee in this
city yesterday. and today will witness the
departure of a large number of delegates
for the east.
The excitement over the denunciatory
resolutions on the national administra ton
policy in the Philippines and on the inter-
probation of the "anti-canteen law" passed
Tuesday. had not died out when yesterdays
meeting convened, but throughout the ses-
sion nothing was said about the resolu-
tons. Mrs. Hannah ]. Bailey of Maine, su-
perintendent of the peace and international
arbitration department under whose au-
spices the Philippine war resolution was
introduced, read her report. The only ref
erence to the criticism by her committee
was when she said:
I'VE do not criticise the soldiers who
from sense IF apprehended duty and So
called patriotism enlisted
The executive committee, to whom has
been referred the matter of selecting next
years meeting place, met last night, but
made no selection. 1t will meet again
today. and there is every indication that
Indianapolis will be named.

meetings recently in the board room of the
American Security and Trust Company,

siding. Plans for the winters work were

The aim OF this club is ''to perfect it's

formal discussion of live questions of
the day, and to work together for the higher
civilization of humanity"
After the usual business a half hour is
ordinarily devoted to parliamentary drill,
following the lines laid down in Roberts
Rules of Order. This drill Is succeeded by
a discussion upon some topic of interest, in
which every member of the club is expected
to take part.
AT the last meeting Miss Tuley, as leader,
made some remarks upon the educat ional
value and relation Of music. At the next
meeting the club will take UP the South

tory of the Beers, the suZerainty of the
English and other points suggested

THE COUNTRY PEOPLE,
Move in Reference to Their Removal
From the Riggs Market.


Other communications have been received
by The Star in reference to the removal of
the country people from the Riggs maket.
N. Studer writes as follows: IAN old
proverb says, The little thieves are hung
and the big ones are left to run at large.
On this proverb | am reminded when l see
big railroad companies occupying not only
sidewalks, but whole streets, avenues and
public parks in Washington, undisturhed
by the police, for thirty years, since l have
been in this country's capital. But the poor
country people, trying to sell their little
produce, are driven away from sidewalks.
But, then, these poor but honest people are
not dressed in fashionable clothes, or is it
their produce that is making an unsightly
appearance. For years l have seen these
poor people come from the country as early
as 3 o'clock in the morning, with baskets
their heads and arms, walking to the
markets. Many of them from early spring
until Christmas, gather and bring wild
flowers, greenery and plants and try to
make an honest penny selling punches of
flowers and greenery as low as two bunch
es for cents, enabling thereby many
poor city woman to buy few cheap flow
ers. / do not blame the District Commits
sOners for enforcing the strict letter OF the
existing regulations, but Is II not possible
to make here an exception, believing that
not more than one of every thousand WASH
ingtonians W ould object or Congress would
reprimand the Commissioners? l ask the
powerful assistance of The Evening Star,
which for years was fighting in the front
ranks AGAINST the occupation of public
property by the big railroad companies.
Let charity, in the poor country peoples
case, go before the cruel letter OF the law.
VIM. I. Davis says that the statement
that the business men in the vicinity of the
Riggs Market opposed the country people
is an error, adding that these country peo-
pie were benefit, rather than a nuisance,
to the business men. He says that the
statement that the arrest of a banana man
was caused by a grocer on the corner is
unfounded.

Condition Much Improved.

The condition of Oden Lake. the young
man who WAS so seriously injured yester-
day morning by riding against beer wagon
at Massachusetts, avenue and 9th street
northwest. as published In The Star, was
much better this afternoon. The doctors at
the Emergency Hospital who are attending
him think ne will recover.
Adam Knudsem, driver of the wagon
against which Lake rode on his bicycle, was
arrested this AFTERNOON by the officers of the
second precinct. The charge against him Is
assault II is alleged that the accident was
due to Lakes fast riding.
