We have been annoyed for some time

Editor potter Toins the S,,Ius.

The Evening Call at Lead, which
put up the ablest campaign for the
fusion forces Of any newspa GER in
ahe Black Hills, whose editor was.
The fusion candid d!le for clerk OF
courts in Lawrence county, and
whose principal stockholder was the,
fusion cant idate for congress, has
aopped over to the republican party
and Editor Potter proposes to line
up before the political pie-counter
along with the balance of the Sulu
tribe and get share CT whatever
is dealt out. Mr.. Potter's reasons
for this change in political faith are
that the "Cleveland democracy shot
at the flag during Lincoln's time
and the democrats OF 1900 come very
near doing the same thing pros
perity under the gold standard fur
nishes another reason, and what he
terms "Crokerism" comes in for it's.
share. Honestly, yHE UNION seri-
ously questions the sincerity Of the
Calls conversion to republicanism
of the s s Hanna variety. 1t gives
no reason that cannot be refuted
and destroyed by the average
twelve-year-old schoolboy.
To simmer the case down, it looks
as though the Call needed help
along certain lines and expects to
command this aid from republican
sources by going over to the re-
publicans. The paper is to be pit
led rather than censured.

Ainsworth Wants the lob Again,

Since the state went republican
the fellows at the republican PIE
counter have been lining up for a
fat job of some kind. Among these
is G. w. Ainsworth. the old parasite
who for years superintended the
state reform school and because he
was finally prisd loose he organized
an outbreak Of the inmates against
the present superintendent, W. FL.
Tompkins. Ainsworth wants the
job again, but Superintendent
Tompkins proposes that he shall
be brought onto the carpet to an
,swer certain charges along about
the time our Sulu governor gets to
distributing state plums. Accord
ingly, the last issue OF the Reform
School Item contained this an
nouncement:
The Sioux City journal of Nov. Is
states that @. W. Ainswortn, the
ex superintendentof of this School in
again an applicant for the position.
Before the election 1 made very
serious charges NOT general, but
specitic-agalnst MIR. Ainsworth anu
his management OF this School.
That paper also alleges that MIR.
Ainsworth was removed by the flu
sion forces :solely for the purpose
OF making room for one of their
party workers. !"
l am not in the habit of making
charges during a campaign or al
any other time that ] am not ready
and willing at all times to prove.
The election is now over and I en-
phatically renew those charges and
demand that before Mr.. Ainsworth
is considered for this place again,
those charges as well as those Mr..
Ainsworth has preferred against
me, be fully investigated by those
having the power and legal right to
do So.
/ ask that Governor Lee recon-
mend in his message that these
matters be fully looked into. w.

SHOT 81 o. AND BADLY WOUNDED.
Woman Of Easy Virtue Takes a Shot
At James Gates at keystone.

At Keystone on Thursday night
OF last week James Gates, teams
ter, was shot and badly wounded
BY Miss Bessie VanAuken. The
tragedy took place in house of i'll
repute at about l0:+i5 at night. At
that hour passers-by were startled
by . pistol shot and the screams Of
woman, and moment later Con-
stable Hesnard and Ed. Davis were
on the scene. They found the room
iron, which the screams emanated
locked and hurriedly forcing an en-
trance they discovered Gates with a
bullet-wound in the right side OF his
head, from which the blood flowed
freely. The unfortunate man was
In critical condition and medical
aid was summoned al once, every.
thing possible being done for him.
The VanAuken girl, who is only
about l8 years Of age, gave herself
up, stating that the shooting was
accidental. A preliminary hearing
before Justice Marble in keystone
Friday tended to substan,iate the
girls version of the case. Gates
rallied considerably Friday afternoon
however, and it is said he made the
statement that the shooting was in.
territorial and not accidental. The
fact that Miss Van Auken is deeply.
grfeved over the affair tangles the
matterup somewhat and lends color
to her story. The weapon used wa.
a 3S-caliber revolver.
Miss Van Auken returned from
the state reform school some two
months ago and had been at Key
stone little over month. She
claims that she and Gatea were
lovers and we're to have been married
on the 18th instant. The case wiz
probably be heard at the present
term of circuit court, Constable
Hesnard brought the fair prisoner
down from keystone Friday and
placed her in care of Sheriff Leedy
at the county Jail in this city.

{ Though only established in its pres-

cruiting office in Philadelphia has al
ready become the foremost one Of Its
kind in the United States, says the
Philadelphia Inquirer. So successful
has it been that in all probability it
will be made permanent and will be
expected to furnish large part of the
new material for the United States
navy as the battleships now under con-
struction are placed in service. The
station Is In charge Of Lieutenant
Commander Charles Laird. u. S. N.
During the first Ave weeks the office
was opened for recruiting. from Jan.
15 to Feb. %. there were over 400 ap-
plicants. OF these al passed the ex-
animation and are now ready to be
mustered into service. ALL Of the new
men are native born and are OF char
acter superior to the recruits from the
Offices in other cities. There are over
5000 vacancies In the naval service at
present, and this number will be ma
terially increased before the session of
congress Is ended. as provision must
be made for several men -of-5 = to be
named within yearl '-'" .scently
enrolled men will join fhises tanks as
landsmen. the lowest grade of the sea-
mems branch. They are chiefly labor
ers, farmers, mechanics and clerks, who
enter the service at the pay of SIC per
month and rations. Special efforts are
being made to elevate the naval serv-
ice throughout, and inducements are
now offered so as to make it desirable
for good class OF young men to en-
list. Preference is given to Ameri-
cans. who will be given every opor-
tunity for advancement. These re-
cruits may advance to the positions Of
petty officers. the pay for which is $50
per month. with retirement after thir-
