From Two Counties in Pursuit of

en-NOrthwest News.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., June 1O-(Spe-
ciaL Word reached here today of what
will prove a double tragedy, and may
possibly cost more lives. S. Clark, living
near belmont. last evening shot and IA
tally wounded his wife and a fifteen-year-
old daughter. After the affair Clark dis
appeared. The officers are close on his
track, and are determined to capture him,
dead or alive. He is armed with a rifle
and revolver and if the pursuers come
up with him there is every prospect Of
bloody fight.
Particulars of the affair point to a de-
liberate attempt at murder. The shoot
ing took place at the home of M. E.
Bundy, four miles from belmont, while
the Bundy family and Mrs. Clark and
daughter were at dinner.
Clark and his wife were divorced about
four years ago, and were remarked in
June. 1885, They had four children, the
daughter who was killed and three small
er ones. For some time Clark and his
wife have been separated, and Mrs. Clark
has recently instituted proceedings, a
second time, for divorce. The daughter
has all the time kept house for her father
and the little ones. Yesterday about noon
Clark was blowing near the road on his
place when his wife drove past in the
direction of the Bundy homestead. Clark
called to her to stop but she mace no re-
ply and drove on. Shortly afterwards the
daughter came to the field and requested
permission to go to Bundy's to see her
mother. Receiving no reply she took the
little children and repaired to the Bundy
residence, where she was soon followed
by Clark. Eentering the house Clark de-
manded of his wife why she had not
stopped when he called to her. She re-
piled:
81 had nothing to say to you"
Ibid you sign any papers at Hooper's
yesterday" Mrs. Clark refused to affirm
or deny this, whereupon Clark drew
revolver and shot her. the ball, which was
a 4-calibre, entering the left side of her
neck and passing clear through
Turning to the daughter, he sent a ball
into her right shoulder. 1t passed through
her body, coming out under the right arm
and breaking it. A second shot entered
the back of her head and came out in
the forehead.
Clark then returned to his home, chang
ed his shoes, embarrassed a horse, and,
armed with a Winchester and a revolver,
started on horseback in northwesterly
direction. He had a five-hours' start
when the Douglas and Hutchinson county
officers arrived on the scene. Six men
sat for nearly. five hours within half
mile of the house, afraid to go near it to
investigate. Mrs. Clark and aughter were
alive at midnight, but their death was
hourly expected -.
Accordings'to information received late
tonight the posse Of Hutchinson and
Douglas county officers on Clark's trail
had not succeeded in overhauling the fu-
gitve.s The feeling against Clark is re-
ported as being intense in the locality
where the crime was committed.

KING OSCARS ESCAPE.

The storm which seems to be break
ering over the peninsular union. When
the king of Sweden and Norway laid
aside the cares of state some two
months ago and departed for the south
of France, under orders of the court
physicians, he was given a post of Sc
curity.
No one believes that he sought any
refuge from responsibilities, however.
1t was failing health that forced him
to abandon the throne of the dual king
dom, and it may be necessary yet for
him to return to restore peace to his
people. And there are many who be-
lieye that his presence and influence
will postpone the conflict, which event
ually must come, but which the peace
loving and prosperous people of both
states would avert as long as possible
The inhabitants of Sweden, as a rule,
deplore the differences which have
arisen; and it is natural, for Swedish
royalty rules both lands, and Nor
Wegian patriotism has even been de-
MED separate flag. But there is a
conservative element in Norway, COM
posed largely of business people, who
regret the turn affairs are taking. In
timations of civil war for state sever
ance can serve only to disturb every
industry, since the success of such an
enterprise is at present among the
things impossible.
Norway's defensive arrangements
are inferior to those Of Sweden, and
While civil war in the north would not
involve directly the great powers, the
outcome, in the event of prolongation,
would be settled by these powers-and
in favor of Sweden, because of general
governmental sympathy with estab-
lished rule and the high estimation in
which King Oscar is universally held

PRATT AND HIS THREATS.

Chief Pratt threatens to prosecute
people who criticise his administration
of police affairs. In a printed card he
calls attention to the fact that he al
ready has a suit pending against The
Herald, and intimates that others will
follow in the same line.
Just as Mr.. Pratt pleases about that
1t is his privilege, and, we may add, it
seems to be his passion.
The courts are open, and every news
paper in the land has to take its
chances with professional litigants
There are three classes of people al
ways threatening to sue somebody:
Chronic contemporaries like Pratt
ofiice-holders who seek by bluffing to
prevent criticism of their official be-
havior, and blacknailers who go into
court TO compel a man to accede to
their demands to avoid the annoyance
Of a trial and the inevitable division
of public sentiment which follows any
accusation, however false and unreal
sonable.
So far as Chief Pratt's threats are
concerned. and we note that they are
ccuched in the well known literary
style of an attorney who has tried to
induce others to bring similar actions,
he is at liberty TO carry them into court
or elsewhere.
Only, it may be necessary, for the ex-
petition of regular, legitimate business,
TO create a Pratt division of the district
court. where all his pending suits, his
claims, his construction of laws, his
Interpretation of the intent of legisla-
tors. and the endless. costly. vicious
contentious in the police department
under his management, and all the suits
and threatened suits Of his subordinates
on the force, for salaries, reinstate-
ment, enforcement of supreme court de-
crees, resentment against arbitrary and
unjust degradation of subalterns. may
be heard and tried and retired and
revised until the venom Of the chief is

of those tempests so dreaded in that
vicinity. Between and 6 o'clock in the
evening of Feb. 2 there was only one
sail in sight, an Egyptian dhow with
Iateen sails, on the same plan as the

MILES INDICATED.

Some time ago the cabinet actually
and seriously contemplated the sus-
pension of General Miles for his denun-
citation of "embalmed beef as food
for soldiers.
Embroidered by the report of the
presidents own commission, Ayers
proposition to remove Miles from the
head of the army without trial on a
hearing was favorably considered.
1t was reasoned that such summary
proceedings could only result in the
further Generalization of the army,
and that an attempt to carry out this
revenge upon an honest and RESPONSE
BILE officer would certainly interfere
with the passage of a bill for the re-
organization Of the army, matter in
which the president was greatly inter
ested.
So a hearing was ordered for COM
plants about the commissary depart
ment, the real object of which was to
prove that Miles had borne false wit
ness in the former examination. In
stead of fixing this blame, evidence is
piling up mountains high, showing
that the original statement made by
General Miles was very mild, and that
one-half had not been told.
''Embalmed beef was only one of the
nauseating dishes set before the Amer
lean soldier. There was putrid meat
in cans and fly-blown corned-beef and
sour bread. In the pest-camps this
repast was washed down with germ
infected water. When the troops were
sent to Cuba and Porto Rico, foul
smelling, filthy transports were used
for the purpose.
All this is coming out whence the IN
doing Of General Miles was expected.
1t is embarrassing to the administra-
ton, but important for the American
people to know.
