SMALLPOX AMONG SIOUX
DISEASE IN MILD FORM HAS FOOT
HOLD AROUND FORT
PIERRE
AUTHORITIES NOW STIRRED UP
Were Lax in the Matter at First
When the Disease Was Be-
ueVed to Be Chicken
POx.

FORT PIERRE, S. D., April 30-(Spe-
ciaD-SmallpoX has a solid hold upon the
Sioux Indians Sixteen are known to have
died from it and many more will perish
from the disease. The scourge has been
running for over two months in this vi.
cinity, little attention beng paid to 1t be-
cause 1t was generally of a mild type
and because the local physician and
health officer diagnosed 1t as chicken
pox. No restrictions were placed around
those afflicted, dances and public meet
1ngs being permitted without protest
from the authorities. Persons broken
out with the disease have frequented
without hindrance, the streets, public
gatherings and saloons. The authorities
of Pierre made an attempt to persuade
the superintendent of the board of health
In this county to establish a quarantine,
but ne refused, and later, when the state
board sent an agent here, who diagnosed
the disease as smallpox, the Stanley
county superintendent refused 10 receive
i'm and later refused to adopt any quar-
Rntine regulations The disease was
stamped out in Pierre, but a few DAYS
since 1t broke out anew in the Grand
racine hotel, and then a strong demand
was made for quarantine against Fort
Pierre, which was finally adopted Pas
6engers are only allowed to cross the
missouri river between in the mornina
and in the evening, and then only with

outside world unless a rigid quarantine
were adopted. 1t is believed that this
measure will have the desired effect, but
the disease Is already scattered all over
the Sioux reservation and patients are
sick with 1t who live from fifty to one
hundred miles from medical attendance.
There have as yet been no deaths among
the whites, but three men have lost their
eyesight as a result of the disease.
There is q good deal of feeling among
the people because Of the lax methods
pursued by the board of health at the be-
ginning of the trouble. but the Stanley
county superintendent declares he has
been anxious to take measures to stamp
1T out, but has not had the assistance Of
the county commissioners, who refused
to pay the expenses, going SO far, in one
instance, as to refuse to pay livery bill
contracted in isolating a certain case
The United States government has
taken hold Of the matter and 1t is proba-
that hereafter there will be better COM
pliance with health regulations. The dis
ease has extended itself over so wide an
area and has become so well intrenched
among the Indians that the fight with it is
not going to be won easily, in the opn-
ion of the physicians in charge Of the
quarantine.

.H IS A CRIME 70 COMBINE
DOWN AIN IMPORTANT DECISION
GIN CONSPIRACY
CIRCUIT COURT IS REVERSED
Higher Tribunal Holds That Intent
to Injure Is Criminal Liability
Within the PO!ice Power
of the State.

MADISON, Wis, April 30.-The state
supreme court today handed down de-
cision adverse to the defendants in the
case of the Milwaukee Journal against
various other Milwaukee papers, revers
ing the circuit court ruling.
The Journal had raised it's advertising
rates, and the English papers of that
city, 1t was charged, informed advertisers
that If they advertised in the Journal at
the advanced rates they could not pace
advertisements in any of the other papers
except by paying the advanced rates to
the other papers, without regard to their
circulation. Nor could such an adver-
tisement be placed in one of the dailies
without being placed in all Of them.
The defendants were charged with
criminal conspiracy, and under the pre-
liminary examination were held to trial
They swore out a writ of habeas corpus
and were cleared by the circuit court on
the ground that no offense had been COM
mitted and that it was perfectly legiti-
mate for business men to combine
against a rival, even if that rivals bust
ness might be injured. The state appeal
ed to the supreme court, and that court
decided that the defendants must stand
trial. The supreme court holds that I'M
der the statute upon which the case is
based, the word intent means bad in
tent"
The malice Of the statute is not neces,
sarily III or malice in fact; it means, as
In common law. a wrongful act done
Intentionally without just cause or ex>
cuse. The supreme court also holds that
the police power of the state is broad
enough to permit the Legislature to deal,
by creating civil or criminal liabilities,
or both, with all combinations In re-
stratnt of trade which are voided by com
mon law rules. There is nothing in this,
the supreme court holds, influencing at
all the right of individuals to combine
or associate for the promotion of their
individual welfare in any way. The law
strikes only at the resort to use as a
single power of the individual abilities
and resources Of two or more to wrong
fully accomplish harm to another.
