Indian Murderer Caught.

Mention was made in The Repub-
,lican last week Of the murder COM
mitted by Allen Walking Shield, who
Shot and killed Mrs. Ghost Face
Bear on the Rosebud agency. United
States Marshal Petrie and posse of
men and Indian police started after
Shield several days after the murder
was committed, the police having
the start of the other crowd. The
police located the prisoner but could
not get near enough to take him on
account of having nothing but revol :
vers while Walking Shield was pro-
vlded with rifle and was able to
keep his pursuers at a respectable
distance. Marshal Petrie and his men
had to travel about $50 miles to CAP
ture the Indian. He was traced to
the Cheyenne agency, but it seems
that he returned to Rosebud, where
he was captured. Walking Shield
will be brought before United States
Commissioner Tidrick at Chamber
lain for his hearing in a few days.

BURGLAR AT PLANKINToN.
Touched a Business Man for $500 in
Dead Hours of Night and Got
Away Easily.

Night Watch Williams. of Plank
inton was an early caller in Mitch
ell this morning. He was in hot pur-
suit of an individual who had broken
into a residence during the night and
carried away $500 in cold cash. The
burglar entered the home of e. Fl.
Cramer some time before midnight
Tuesday, gaining access through a
window that was easily raised. He
rifled the pockets Of Mr.. Cramer and
found $500 which the business man
had neglected to put in the bank
before going home in the evening.
Cfamer told the night watch he was
awakened by somebody in the room
and when he got his eyes fully
opened he saw a man crawling on his
hands and knees toward the open
window. through which he made his

was informed of what had happened.
Some parties had just driven in

Officers from Harrison were up
this way looking for some suspicious
characters on the charge of breaking
into the bank at that place. The
bank was robbed Mondy night OF

successful escape These bank rob-
bers seem to be having an easy snap
to break into the monied institutions

A Betting Craze In italy.

A spirit Of gambling has broken out
in the court of Italy, and the courtiers
are laying their wagers recklessly upon
the question as to whether the young
Princess Yolanda will speak first in
English or in Italian. The princess now.
has reached the age of seven months
and already has made sounds witch
are declared to be papa" and "mam-
MAJ The English nurse declares that
she taught the child to say them, but the
Italian nurse Indignantly denies this,
declaring that to her is due the credit,
for if the princess had learned from
the English nurse she would say the
words in English, whereas she says
them in Italian, the poor woman not
knowing that papa" and mamma"
are the same III all languages.
So as these words are universal It
has been decided that they do not de-
eide the wagers as to which will be
the first language to be spoken by little
Yolanda. The betting is even,; for,
though the English nurse has the child
almost entirely under her care, the
language which she hears spoken
about her all the time is Italian. Large
sums have been wagered, and the de-
cision is awaited with much interest.
If Yolanda wants to make herself pop
ular, she had better lisp her first words
In Italian. There will be mighty dis
gust throughout Italy should she de-
eide in favor of English.

OF all the quaint and varied sights

more attractive than the officers quar-
ters in the main guard Of the citadel OF
Valetta. Long ago some officer, find

the bare yellow washed wall of his un-
garnished room picture in colors.
The next officer probably thought he
could do as well or better. and he, too,
left his handiwork upon the walls, and
as years rolled by there grew up

EvADlNG THE LAW.
The Pictures of Flying Birds In =
Mohamm edan Mosque.

According to one of the tenets of tho
Mohammedan religion, it is sin to
make picture of any living thing. The
elaborate decorations of the palaces
and mosques of the east are almost ex-
clusively made up of ingeniously inter.
laced geometric designs. arabesques or
flowers, intermixed with sentences Of
the Koran.
There is a belief among Mussulmans
that at the day Of judgment Allah will
demand that the artist who has made
the image of a living thing shall endow
that image with life and that, failing to
do this, the artist will be sent to perdi.
ton for his sin.
A gentleman who visited a mosque in
Algiers found that the tiles with which
the building is decorated, which are
very old and beautiful, are adorned
with flights of birds. He expressed sur.
prise at this and asked If the command
against such representation were
modern edict.
"Oh, no." answered the pious Alge.
rian to whom he addressed the Ques-
ton "These are not pictures OF living
birds"
But they are painted as If flying
lcross the tiles" the other said in some
astonishment.
"Yes," the Mussulman replied, 'but
do you not see that about the neck of
each there is u ne nlack line? That ia
to show that the artist painted only
dead birds, and the command Of the
Koran is not violated"

The Soldier and His Critics.

st. Loucs Globe-Democrat An at
tack upon the conduct of American
armies is an attack on American
character. Our soldiers, practically,
are all volunteers, for there is not
a conscript In the ranks. 1t is our
belief that the armies of the United
States, past and present, have been
uequaled for humanity, generosity
and forbearance in the treatment
OF enemies. But they have waged
real war, as matter of course. They
have asserted the right OF self de-
tense which every human being pos
sesses. They have dealt with savages
according to the necessities of the
case. Some of the callow philosoph-
ers who are writing about 'orders
unworthy Of a civilized officer and
a disgrace to the army'' have never
faced a rush Of bolomen who give no
quarter and plot deeds of massacre

PROGRESS OF YALPHIDE CASE
Testimony Was Introduced in Dam
age Suit Yesterday and Today
Physicians Testify.
tFrom Wednesdays Daiiy.)

Physicians Testify.
tFrom Wednesdays Daiiy)
DIR. NJ. Halphide was the main
witness against the city of Mitchell
yesterday afternoon in his damage
suit, and his evidence was with
reference to the manner in which
he was injured while walking across
the apron that projected from the
cement sidewalk to the stone cross
ing, on the corner of Main and
Fourth streets. The wooden apron
that did duty there for so long was
brought into the court room and he
described how the accident occurred.
The accident took place on the night
of Oct. 25, 1900, about s O'Clock in
the evening. The injury he sus-
tanned was that of a rupture and he
has been forced to wear truss as
a result. Gottlieb Scheurenbrand
testified to having laid the cement
walk and Chief Keith testified to.
having had the apron laid under his
directions. Messrs. Preston & Han
nett, who are conducting the case for
DR.. Halphide then called in some ex-
pert testimony and three physicians,
Drs. Bowers, Bobb and Crane, who
stated, without going into detail,
that the plaintiff was badly ruptured
and that the injury was permanent.
Each of the physicians had made an
examination Of the plaintiff last
week. Some additional testimony
was taken this morning and at 10
O'Clock the plaintiff rested their side
of the case.
Messrs. Winsor and Hitchcock. who
are the attorenys for the city, began
their testimony by calling on Chief
Keith, who testified to the fact that
ne constructed the apron that cov-
cred the space from the crossing to
the sidewalk, and that it was firmly
imbedded between those two points.
Mr.. Beckwith also gave testimony to
the same effect and added that the
apron was in firm position at the
time OF the alleged accident
At the opening of court this after
noon Attorney Hitchcock asked to
have the court direct the jury to
bring in a verdict for the defendant
on the ground that the plaintiff had
not shown by the evidence submitted
that he had sufficient grounds for
damages. The court held that this
was not the proper time for the
motion, after the defendant had
commenced on the testimony. o. H.
Perry was then called and told of a
conversation which he had with Dr.
Halphide on the corner of Main
and Fourth streets some six months
after the accident happened, the
DR.. showing him how he stumbled
and fell on the walk. Mr.. Perry
stated that he could not remember
the full conversation as he had
little thought that any suit would
result from it.
DIR. f. W. Freyberg was called to
give testimony concerning the ex-
animation he. had made this week of
DR.. Halpl1ide's injury, stating that
a rupture was prevalent and that it
protruded about three-quarters of an
inch. and that he wore no truss at
that time. He also testified to have
frequently gone over the same apron
that the plaintiff was injured upon
and did not see but what 1T was in
good condition.
DR.. ]R. +. Dundass was the clos.
ing witness for the defense concern
ing the injury Of the plaintiff and
