without their consent. furthermore, they were
not accustomed to getting their green grass,
and imbibng their wet goods, so early in the
season, and they had been accustomed to GER
tain little dietary indulgencies which little
natures crave and were wont to let many OF
their troubles go up in smoke, and to solace
their bruised spirits with those OF the fru-

Comrade L. Klamroth, Industrial Free
dom's champion rustler, returned to EquaH-
ty Wednesday last for few days visit, after
40 absence of about eight months, spent in
a canvass of Western Washington and Ore
gon. This trip has been most satisfactory, he
having secured 1919 subscribers. Brother
Klamroth says that he escaped the lookup
while on this trip, but has experienced an
increasing difficulty in securing the privilege
of addressing street audiences, and that his
work more than ever before has necessarily
been by personal canvass. He says money
was tighter and times harder than usual this
winter. That socialism is gro wing, and that
the general ear listens now with more at
tentive interest to the propagandiss of the
truth. He looks Tor great revival of inter-
est in economics, and would not be surprised
to see a rising en- masse at the polls in 1900
He says that the democratic party is beyond
revival. 1t is purifying corpse, and that
the struggle will be between the masses, I'M
dersoue organization which will alnalgamate
all the forces. and classes under the republ-
can party, which is torn asunder with inter-
nal strife.
The vicissitudes necessarily attending his
mode of travel and work. does not dampon
his ardor in the least. He views all opposi-
ton and meets every emergency, philosephi
caly. From his higher eminenoe he over
locks many things. The fortress of reason
which he has reared, is SO constructed DIS to
Withstand assault, and further fortified by
experience against surprise he meets the ere
my every onslaught with force Of superior
logic, dislodg;ng him every time. 1t is as
tonishing what facility one acquires when has
energies are all the while expended ia the field
OF argument and contention.
Ia addition to his subscriptions Bro Klam-
roth secured the sun of $40 to devote to the
needs of Equality

Bride Robbed BY the Groom.

Mrs. Mary J Colthar, 45 years old, of
Bunker Hill, ILL.,, whose husband died
two years ago, leaving her farm and
$1,000, is penniless in Rochester, n.
Y, having been robbed of 81, 075 by a
New York confidence man. Accord
ing to her story, which has been veri-
fed by the Rochester police, Mrs. Col
thar about month ago, by a letter of
introduction through an agency, began
correspondence with James Monroe.
a few weeks later, by appointment,
they met in Indianapolis and the same
afternoon were married. The follow
ing day they started, together with Mrs.
Colthar's 11-year-old daughter, for New
York, to witness the Dewey day cele
bration. Before going however. Mrs.
Colthar placed $1,000 mortgage on
the farm and drew s2, 100 from the

few days ago, and Monroe proposed to
engage in the drug business and pre-
vailed upon his wife to loan him 81, 075,
and started for New York, ostcnsibly to
purchase stock for the store. Monroe
has not been seen since. Wednesday
Mrs. Colthar received letter from him

ker Hill. Mrs. Colthar, realizing that

WILL BE HUNG.
Quick Work Made of the Two Darling
ton Fiends.

A dispatch from Darlington to The
State, in speaking of the trial and con-
viction Of the two fends who recently
raped young lady in that county says:
The court house Tas crowded again
Thursday and excitement was running
high on account Of the trial Of Dink
Mitchell for rape. Ed. Luckey was
convicted the day before, but sentence
was suspended so he could testify
against his accomplice, Dink Mitchell.
Judge Bennett charged the jury to
weigh well the evidence, and that it
would not do to convict where life was
at stake on the testimony Of al accom-
plice alone, that it had to be corrobo-
rated by other testimony. He also said
that he took this opportunity to thank
attorney King for the energetic way ne
has conducted the defense. That it
was the duty Of the presiding judge
when man was to be tried for his life
and was too poor to provide himself
with counsel to appoint counsel for
him, and that he had appointed Mr..
Coker King to defend Mitchell. He
had received no compensation for it,
but he could have done no better if he
had been we'll paid.
The jury was out but few minutes,
when they returned with verdict Of
guilty. Diuk Mitchell and Ed. ,Luckey
were both sentenced to be hanged the
9th Of November. Everybody seems
to be well satisfied, and Darlington
county has set an example for the
whole south.

FROZEN TO DEATH.
The Most Fatal October Blizzard
Ever Known in Montana.
FAITHFUL COLLIE DOGS.
They Guarded the Bodies Of Their
Dead Masters. Nine Men
Known to Have Per-
ished.

AS a result of the recent blizzard
which swept through Teton county III
the northern part Of Montana, nine
men are known to be dead, and Of these,
five bodies have been recovered. v lth
one exception, all were sheep herdeTs,
and all we're found lying in such posi-.
tions as to indicate that they had stayed
with their focks to the last, dying in
their attempts to save the property OF
their employers.
William Graham, working for the
Cascade Land company, was found iu
coulle near Healy Butte: 1t is evi-
dent that he tried hard through the
night to get his sheep into camp, but
had not succeeded. Conscious of the
death which was impending, he returned
to his tent about midnight and there
wrote and left note saying he was
early exhausted, but was about to re-
turn to the sheep in the snow, his Ian
tern about 20 feet distant. Of his two
dogs, one remained to guard the body,
while the other followed the sheep.
Norman Bruce worked for Will
Floweree. He remained with his sheep
until he managed to drive them into a
sheltered spot, where they would be
safe. Blinded by the storm, he mis-
took the coulle where his cabin was
built and wandered up another. Re
alizing his mistake too late, he turned
back and fell less than 200 yards from
home and safety. The searching party
found his dog stretched across the dead
body.
Matt Gregorich was found with his
arms crossed upon his breast. His dog
had followed the sheep into camp and
returned with the rescue party too late.
Il. Herald, working for G. R. Scofin,
was lying in the deep snow, his beard
eaten off py the sheep, which had also
eaten his clothes and part Of his boots.
It is probable that the dead list is
hardly begun. Flocks Of sheep without
herders have been reported from vari-
Gus points in the storm district, and
later these will be traced and the dead
herders found.
Now the snow covers up everything
on the prairie, and the coulles, many
of them more than 100 feet deep and
with steep sides, are filed with it. This
was the most severe'and most fatal o.
tober storm ever occurring in Montana.

WILL NOT PROSECUTE.
Two shipwrecked Sailors Held for
Murder Released.

\ special dispatch from Charleston
to the State says: Maurice Andersen
and Gudmann Thomassen Of the ship
wrecked crew Of the Norwegian bark
Drot were released from custody Thurs
day by order Of the Norwegian govern
ment, and Deputy Marshal Reed, who
has had the men under surveillance at
the city hospital, was withdrawn. The
men will not be prosecuted for Staying
their shipmate, Max Hoffman, and they
have been offered free Transportation
back to their homes inSweden and Nor
way.
The instructions for the release Of
the seamen came to Mr.. G. 0. Witte,
the Norwegian consul, from the consul
general ct New York. Mr.. Witte re-
paired at 10 o'clock Thursday morning
to the Office Of United States Commiss-
ionerJ. Wesley Smith, on Queen street,
and after the papers for the release had
been drawn up, he signed them, liberia
ting Thomassen and Andersen from
custody. The papers were immediate
ly served.
The decision of the Norwegian gov
ernment not to prosecute Andersen and
Thomassen was probably reached on
the reports submitted by Consul Witte,
which showed that the killing Was.the
result Of dire necessity. The men were
crazed by hunger and thirst and long
suffering, and it is hardly to be thought
that they should be held accountable
for an act done under the circumstances.
The drawing Of the lot, which decreed
that Hoffman should be sacrificed, was
entirely regular and fair. His death
meant the saving Of the lives of the
other seamen and, however regrettable
the affair and narrowing the details,
the fact remains that it was necessary
that one man should die, and it just
happened that Hoffman drew the lot.
This is the common sense view Of the
case, and it is the opinion that is gen.
orally held. The Norwegian govern
ment probably reached the same opin-
ion and hence the instructions to Mr..
Witte to have the seamen released.
Thomassen and Andersen we're great
ly clated when told Of their good for
tune. Thomassen will leave here in
few days for New York, whence he
sails for his home at Stevanger. He
said that he will never cross the ocean
again after his present trip. He will
engage in coastwise fishery and will live
with his mother and four brothers.
Anderson is still confined to his bed
and will not be able to get about for
a couple Of weeks. He says that he
desires to remain in Charleston. He
has no immediate relatives and is not
anxious to go back to Sweden, his na-
tive country.

Must Treat All Alike.

Walter L. Farnsworth, the self-con-
fessed Chicago blgamist, who claims he
has married over forty women in differ
ent parts Of the world, says he will
offer unique defense when his case is
called for trial. ''The Sultan of Sulu
has many wives and is under the pro-
lection Of the United States govern
ment," said Farnsworth. II also
have many wives, but the police,
not the government, nave me IN charge.
This is rot according to the constltu-
tional provisions guaranteeing equality
to all and then denying special pri7il-
eges to the residents of this country. I
will see that either go free or the
Sultan Of Sulu gives up some Of his
better halves"
