AFTER AN EXTRA SESSION.
). D. MINING MEN WORK FOR 1T
Governor Herreid Not Likely to Call
One-FOrty Legislators Make
Reply.

Special to The Journal.
Deadwood, S. D., Jan. 13-Over forty
members of the state legislature have ex-
pressed themselves favorable to an extra
session for the purpose of making an
appropriation for an exhibition at the St.
Louis fair. That number have replied to
circular letter sent out by w. S. Elder
of Deadwood, secretary of the Black Hills
Mining Mems association.
1t is considered doubtful whether suttl-
cient influence can be brought to bear on
Governor Herreid to induce him to call
the session. Under the statutes 1t is i'm
possible to limit the transactions of the
legislature when in session, and it is
feared that members would try to put
through pet measures of their own, and
bring up other matters, possibly scheme
to remove the capital.
The governor is anxious to secure the
pledges of two-thirds of the members
that they will serve without per diem and
that they will pass the desired appropri-
alton before calling a session. Mining
men hope the state will have 100000 to
work on, but 1t is not, likelYthat any
thing can be done until the regular Ees-
sion next winter unless the individuals
directly interested put up the money.

A COCK AND BULL STORY
INSANE MANS DREAM OF WEALTH
Dismissed as Harmless, He Is
Promptly Arrested
Criminal Libel Charge.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Webster City, Iowa, Jan. 13.-S. G. Butte
of Stanhope was taken from this city to
Eldora to answer to the charge of GRIM
inal libel He was brought to Webster
City to appear before the commissioners
of insanity. He was examined and dis
missed, not because he was not known
to be demented, but because he was
thought to be harmless. He is the vic
tim Of strange hallucination. He be-
lieves himself to be heir to. much money
richer, in fact, than the ancient Croesus
the modern Morgans or Vanderbilts.
He thinks this pile of wealth is wrong
fully in the possession of others whom
he persists in harrassing.
Many Webster City citizens have been
receiving letters from : him demanding
that they return him his money. About
two weeks ago he sent an article to the
Des Moines State Register entitled .sAn
Iowa Renaissance. It related that years
ago Mr..Bute had come into possession
OF draft for $4,000 from Dubuque
lottery deal; that while on his way home
he was attacked by a masked robber, who
relieved him of his draft. The article
described the robbery in detail, making
a very readable story. 1t concluded by
reciting that J. E. Snyder-now deceased
Of Eldora, had later confessed he was
the robber and that the money was de-
posted in an Eldora bank.
The whole story was mere fabrication.
Previous to the appearance of this arti-
Gle Butte had written threatening letters
to Mrs. Snyder demanding that she re-
turn him his money. No attention was
paid to them until the article in question
was published. Then criminal libel suit
was started.

BURNED TO DEATH
Dubuque Woman's Taking Off Sup
posed to Have Been Accidental.

Special to The Journal.
Dubuque, Iowa, Jan. 13.-Mrs. Henry
Smith was burned to death Saturday night
Mystery surrounds the accident. TWO
men passing the house noticed flames
and forced the kitchen door. While they
were in extinguishing the flames, Mr..
Smith returned home and found his wife
dead in the adjoining room. The body
was lying at the side Of a table and
near it was the fragments of lamp.
This leads to theory that Mrs Smith
either tainted or stumbled and fell while
carrying the lamp, and, being uncon-
scious, was unable to help herself.
