MISSOURI Stars vEyS
Rights of an oGacer.

The supreme court, Division &c. .,
handed down, a few days ago. a rub
ing of Importance. in the case of State
VS.. Lane, relating to the right of an
officer to kill a prisoner while the lat
ter is resisting arrest. The court
holds that swhere persons having au-
thority to arrest or imprison or 9TH
erwise to advance or execute the pab-
lie justice of the state, and using the
proper means for that purpose, are
resisted in so doing, and the party re-
sisting is killed in the struggle, such
homicide is justifiable. IAN officer in
making an arres should use no IN
necessary violence; but, it being his
duty to make the arrest, the law
clothes him with the power to accom-
plish that result. His duty is to over
come all resistance and bring the par
ty to be arrested under physical re-
s~traint, and the means he may use
must be coextensive with his duty"
But it is held that, whether the off,
eel has used unnecessary or unrea-
soRable means or force is a question
of fact for the jury to determine, I'M
der proper instructions from the
court. The defendant, Lane, was a
night marshal of the town of Maiden,
in Dunklin county, and in the attempt
to subject n James McGregor to
physical restraint, struck the latter a
severe blow with a pistol, fracturing
the prisoners skull and ultimately
causing death. The jury brought in a
verdict of guilty of manslaughter in
the third degree, and Lane was sem
fenced to three years in the peniten-
tiary. The judgment of the circuit
court 10 affirmed

Length of the Tunnel.

The proposed length of the tunnel
is 25 miles, 20 miles of this under the
sea. Railway connection in Europe is
planned, by means of a line following
the Spanish coast and passingthrough
Tariff and Algeciras into France. In
Morocco a line would be constructed
from Tangier, connecting with the

A resolution from COUGHS Sub
Alliance in regard to manufacturing
guanO at Alliance Headquarters, was
read and discussed at some length by
a number of the brethren, all favor
inc the move not only with words,
butagreeing and pledging themselves
as Alliances and individuals to fur
nish the "stuff" to equip this greatly
needed enterprise. I heard one man
say he would put one thousand dol
lars into it and was assured that an3
other would do the same, while many
will put in smaller amounts. We,
the farmers, are the only ones that
use guanO then why not the farm
r make it and saw the profit?
Surely we need it.
I am truly glad that some of the
spirit of our fOrefathers of old Orange
still exists and that we today are I'M
willing to be trampled upon and
made only the servants and en-
ployees of trusts and combinations.
So this the manufacture of guanO
will be fully discussed over our
country and we expect to have a re
port next time that will mean some
thing indeed.
The best of feeling seemed to exist
between the brethren, and while this
is a ''political' year, we see no bad
effect upon the Alliance in these
parts, and we are still receiving new
members.

PENNSYLVANIA
CASE ARGUED
IN THE MATTER OF BOSTON &
MONTANA APPLICATION FOR
AN INJUNCTION.
FINANCIAL STANDING
OF JOHN MACGINNIS
Inquired Into By the State Supreme
Court-News Of the Mines at
Libby-The Smokehouse.

The state supreme court yesterday
heard arguments upon the application
of the Boston & Montana company Tor
an injunction in the Pennsylvania case.
This is the case which was decided by
Judge Clancy in favor of the Montana
Ore Purchasing company. hi point at
issue was as to whether the district
judge in denying the motion for an in
junction or dissolving an injunction
ought to take into consideration the fact
thai a suit over the possession of the
property covered by the injunction had
been decided in favor of the party
against whom the injunction was
sought. F. Aug Heinz was n of the
witnesses. The cour reserved judg"
ment.
The objections raised by the Butte &
Boston company to the justification of
John MacGinnis as one of the sureties on
h bond exacted in the Comanche case
in the matter of the injunction secured
last week by Adolph Wetzsteirn against
the Boston & Montana company, We're
also heard by the supreme court yester-
day.
The injunction required a bond of $780,
600 to indemnify the Boston & Montana
and the sureties were Charles w. Clark
and Mr.. MacGinnis.
Mr.. MacGinnis was examined by
Judge Dewitt yesterday as to his finan-
cial standing. 1t was commended that
MacGinnis' name did not appear upon
h tax oils Of Silver Bow county.
Mr.. MacGinnis stated, however, tha
he owned property valued at $685. 900 at
Nos. 306 And s07 Gas Granite street, but
that Gov. J. E. Richards attended to the
payment of taxes upon it.
Besides the property mentioned, Mr..
MacGinnis said he owned 100 shares Of
Boston & Montana stock, purchased on
April Is, 1898, at $197. and now quoted at
1926 per share. He was also the owner,
he said. Of 1000 share of Montana Ore
Purchasing company stock. which was
valued at $3.50 per share.
Asked why he did not make returns
of this stock to the county assessor for
taxes, Mr.. MacGinnis replied that he had
presumed the tax paid by the company
ON the property in Silver Bow county
covered the stock.
Mr.. MacGinnis also said that he owned
a one-haf interest n the Basin town.
site, burt did not know what it was
worth.
Mr.. MacGinnis also produced 1000
shares of Montana Ore Purchasing COM
pany. stock from his pocket, which was
offered in evidence to the court, but the
chief justice remarked that it was not
necessary. and that the statement of
MIR. MacGinnis would be accepted. The
court then overruled the objections to
Mr.. MacGinnis' justification and ad-
journed.
