convention should agree to such a
definition Of relations as was outlined
by General Wood last week, it. is not
officially known whether the United

Governor General Wood says he told
the special committe to inform the
convention that he represented the
policy of the executive department at
Washington and that he could not say
how congress would act in the mat
ter. Any communication which he
may address to the committee will be
on these lines. There is a possibility
of delay growing out of the view the
special committee takes as to the i'm
portance of an official communication
from Washington regarding the wishes
of the United States.
It was intimated this afternoon
that the convention might appoint the
special committee as a commission to

ton and settle the whole question be-

OFFICERS SAVE M|SCREANT'S LIFE
Topeka Authorities Prevent Lynching by Spiriting
Away White Wretch Under Arrest for
Assaulting Young Woman.

Topeka, Feb. 20-The vigilance of
officers was all that saved "Siick'
Slater, a white man, from lynching by
an Infatuated mob tonight. He will
yet be lynched if he car be found.
Slater assaulted 17-year-old Lottie
Gerberick Monday evening, and was
captured by Topeka officers the next
day at Carbonate, 20 miles from here.
The officers kept the fact of his APP
ture quiet and placed Slater in the
county Jail here. This afternoon it
became known that he was here and
Immediately the men at the Sante Fe
shops, where the girls father, George
Gerberick, is employed, decided that
he should be lynched. They at once
sent a committee to watch the jail,
while they quickly arranged details
for the expected lynching.
By 6 o'clock there was an angry
mob of 1000 men around the county
Jail, demanding that the prisoner be
delivered to them. A brigade of
sturdy Santa Fe boiler makers arrived
with heavy sledge hammers and stood
ready to make short work of the Jail
in case the demands were not granted.
Sheriff Cook told the crowd that the
prisoner had been removed and offered
to let q committee search the Jail.
The Billings gazette. [volume] (Billings, Mont.) 1896-1919, 1901-02-22

Ten men, headed by Gerberick, made
a thorough search, but Slater could
not be found and the men so reported.
He had been spirited away by Off
GERS, who feared trouble.
The county Jail, which the lynching
party visited in search of Slater, is the
same in which Mrs. Nation is con-
fined. Mrs. Nation was much alarmed
at the course of the evenings events,
but fear for herself apparently did not
enter her mind.
The law enforcement army met at
the First Christian church tonight.
On hearing of the projected attack on
the Jail they sent a message to Sheriff
Cook, saying that 800 Of the members
of the organization would be immedi-
ately on the spot to help protect the
Jail from the fury of the mob.
This evidence Of loyalty On the part
of her followers highly pleased Mrs.
Nation and she expressed her praise Of
them in unmeasured terms. She said
that the action of the law enforcement
people proved that they were just
what they claimed to be, people
anxious for the enforcement Of the
law, and who would not endure the
thought of q lynohing being performed
in Topeka.

LONDON IS ALARMED
Feels Great Anxiety Concerning
Fate Of Smith, orrien's
Column.

London, Feb. 20-Grave anxiety is
felt as to the fate of Smith orrien's
column, which has not been heard of
since February 6, when it lost "a
killed and 46 wounded in a heavy en-
gagement with Commandant Botla at
Boutwell,.
The officer in command at Wonder
fontein, the nearest place on the rail-
way to the scene of the engagement,
reports that he has no news Of Smith
Dorrien, who has about 2, 500 men
under him. Lord Kitchener has re-
turned to Pretoria, leaving the chase
after DeWet to Smith-D orrien. De-
Wet has simply fooled Kitchener. He
thought he had the Boer general sur
rounded near DeAar, Cape Colony, but
found out he was mistaken. and is
wondering now where DeWet will be
heard from next.
A raid upon Capetown, while ap-
pearing impossible at this distance, is
apparently actually feared. Kitch-
ener wired yesterday that DeWet is
moving north, and is now west of
Hopetown, but will probably double
back to the southwest, where troops
are awaiting to catch him.
1t is rumored at Capetown that
President Steyn has been captured.

OPINION OF WITNESS
Declares the Truth Told Would
Have Resulted in Hamil-
toms Acquittal.

Milwaukee, Feb. 20-Starr K. Jack
son, clerk at the Hotel Pfister, in this
city, who was one of the witnesses
for the defense in the Hamilton muir
der trial at Minneapolis, was almost
staggered when he received a telegram
from a friend in Minneapolis inform
ing him Of the verdict. He believes
Hamilton innocent and makes impli-
cation of hidden evidence.
"There are two men in Minneapolis,
who, if they told the truth, could
clear Hamilton" he said. II will
not say who they are, but I know
young HAMILTON is no more guilty of
that crime than were any of the other
men who were in the billiard room that
night. They were all in the same
contention and every one of them
ought to have been arrested and made
to tell his story. In that way they
would have got the truth. AS it was,
they all left after the murder, except
Hamilton and the officer arrested him
and testified afterwards that he con
fessed the crime.
Hamilton was not in a physica
condition to reach over another mar
and inflict that wound in Days neck
with a knife. There is something
mysterious about the trial. One O.
the states witnesses testified that he
first met Day but a week before hi
death, while I know positively tina
the two lived in the same hotel fol
five years."

BILE school here and the operation was

pital of the school.

ENGLAND NEEDS N

London, Feb. 19-The Daily Mail
in regard to the necessity Of raising
money for the war in South Africa,
"still in full blast" advocates a tariff
for venue purposes which it says
differs entirely from a protective tariff.
This suggestion will find many sup
porters in view of the almost certain
increase of the income tax. Among
numerous suggestions for raising
money it has been proposed that the
government should appropriate the
many millions that are lying in the
Bank of England.

TERRIFIC STORMS SWEEP OV-
Err PENNSYLVANIA.
TRAFFIC BADLY IMPEDED
Trains Running with Difficulty.
Much Suffering Feared
Among Farmers.

Cory, Pa, Feb. 2O-In the history
Of this region, no storm ever before
reached the fury Of today's blizzard.
With half a dozen feet of snow on the
country roads and outlying city dis
tricts, and Hatch street buried under 10
feet of snow, Cory caught about the
worst part of the storm.
A heavy fall of snow, accompanied
by fierce wind Of great velocity set in
last evening and has continued with
undated vigor. It is still raging to-
night.
The railways recognized the fact
that they had no ordinary storm to
contend with and made hurried prep
arations to fight the elements. The
Western New York & Pennsylvania
railways accommodation train, due
here at 8:45 a. M, was stalled in a
drift higher than the engines stack,
while rushing down the summit of the
huge grade south of this city. 1t was
dug out with difficulty and again
started on its %precarious journey
toward Buffalo. It probably will not
get through tonight. This road is
operating its trains with three engines
and has three plows at work on 80 miles
Of track.
The worst drifts are at Swimmer
dale, were they reach a height of 20
feet in spots.
On the Philadelphia & Erie a snow
pillow jumped the track at Jackson's
while ~endeavoring to force it's way
through a'big drift. Traffic was de-
layed several hours.
For the first time n many years
this road has been compelled to use
snow plows. The Erie is also COM
PEELED to operate hastily imp1ovised
snow plows, something unheard of on
the main line west Of Salamanca.
The Lake Shore and Nickle Plate are
running their trains, but many hours
behind time.
Farmers cannot send horses through
the snow and are forced to walk miles
for life's necessities. There is un-
doubtedly much suffering among them.

HAMILTON FOUND. GUILTY OF
KILLING DAY.
. COMPROMISE VERDICT
Manslaughter in First Degree Con-
clusion Jury Arrives at After
Long Deliberation.

Minneapolis, Feb. 20-The jury in
the case of the state of Minnesota
against Frank w. Hamilton, charged
with numbering Leonard r. Day, after
40 hours deliberations, furnished a
genuine surprise by coming into court
a few minutes before 10 O'Clock this
morning and reporting that it had
agreed on a verdict Of manslaughter
in the first degree with a recommen-
dalton to the mercy of the court.
The jury had been out so long that
all hope of an agreement had about
been given up The jury informed
the deputies at 9:15 that it had
agreed, but it took half an hour to
arrange the preliminaries.
Hamilton was brought down first.
He had enjoyed a good nights sleep
and was in excellent spirits. He
seemed dazed when the verdict was
announced and made no other sign
than to shake his head in mute pro-
test. He was at once remanded to Jail
to await sentence and absolutely re-
fused to see anyone, except his devoted
friend, Miss johnson Of Colorado
Springs.
His attorneys at once moved for a
new trial, but no date was set for
hearing the arguments. /,
When the prisoner reached the Jail
he said to Jailer Alexander, with a
despairing gesture: "They have
found ME guilty, captain, but I do not
deserve it,
The penalty for the crime for which
he is convicted is imprisonment from
five to 20 years.
The foreman of the jury stated that
it had been agreed among themselves
that nothing whatever should be given
out as to their deliberations. From
a source which is believed to be au-
thentic, however, it is learned that
the jury almost Immediately after re-
firing had agreed to a verdict of gull
ty, and that subsequent deliberations
had been as to the particular degree
of guilt.
1t is asserted one man held out for
murder in the first degree and that the
verdict finally reached is in the nature
of a compromise.
