Shot While Resisting Arrest.
Dennis Bissette came i'll last Friday
night and asked the officers to appre-
bend q man by the name of Fox, who
had been working with their threshing
crew. Messrs. Brokaw and Hanson
started out on the search and Hanson
soon came across the man down nea
the stock yards. He told him that he
was wanted on a money deal and
turned to call Marshal Brokaw, when
Fox began to edge away from the officer
and soon broke into a swift run away
from him. Hanson called to him to
stop, emphasizing the demand by firing
into the air, but Fox only increased his
speed, After chasing the man a couple
of blocks, Hanson hailed the a again
and told him he would shoot him if he
did not stop. This last summons was
disregarded, w~hereupon Hanson shot
directly at the fugitive and hit him just
above the left hip. This of course put
a stop to the chase. 1t was seen at once
that the injury was a serious one, and
as the night passenger came along just
at that time, the injured man was
taken to Webster and placed in a hospi-
tai. Here the physicians probed the
wound in search of the ball but we
understand did not succeed in locating
it. At last accounts the wounded man
was getting along nicely and will prob.
ably soon be out again, none the worse
off for his experience but undoubtedly
a wiser man.
To provide for any contingencies that
might arise, Night Watch Hanson went
over to Webster Saturday and gave
bonds for his appearance in case it
should be deemed necessary to investi-
gate the shooting. The affair has occa-
stoned a good deal of discussion but the
sentiment of the people upholds the off,
Ger. The shooting was done as an
imperative duty by the officer in max
ing an authorized arrest.
There vas no serious charge against
Fox and it seems strange that he should
have endangered his life by resisting
arrest. 1t was claimed that he had
been over-paid $500 by mistake and it
was feared that he was trying TO leave
the country without correcting the mis-
ake.-Bristol Tribune.

PEASE PEAK.
Mountain in the Black Hills
Named After WatertOwn
Gentleman.


While in the Black Hills country this
week General III. r. Pease was honored
by having a mountain near the city Of
Deadwood named after him. The
mountain is over 1900 feet high and
very steep and rugged, and the way in
which it came 60 be named after the
general was iii this manner:
General Pease was in a party COM
posed of Mr.. and Mrs. Davis and Mr..
and Mrs. Guernsey, of Day county, Mr..
Writ, of this city, Mrs. j. S. Noodle,
several Sioux City gentlemen and Mr..
Noodle, of the Hidden Fortune gold
mine. The gentlemen from Sioux City
'dared" the Day county ladies to climb
the mountain, thinking that people liv-
ing on the plains of eastern South
Dakota could not accomplish the feat.
The ladies started and then the rest of
the party decided to climb the mountain
also, although no mi thought that Gen.
eral Pease would be able to reach the
summit, as he is well along in years, he
having passed his seyenty-second birth
day. But the general fooled them. The
mountain is very steep, in some places
it being impossible to stand upright
without holding to some shrub, and
members of she party had to rest q
number of times. But while they were
resting the general kept on Saving
wood and reached the topmost rock
some twenty-five or thirty minutes
ahead of any other member of the
party. The whole party, however,
including the Ladies, finally reached the
top, and the general thinks that this
was the first time q lady ever climbed
that mountain.
In the evening, at a little banquet in
the city, at which a number of the
prominent men Of the city were present,
Mrs. Guernsey suggested that the
mountain be named after General
Pease and the suggestion was met with
favorably and in the future that mount.
ain will be known as General Pease
Peak and that name will appear on the
maps.

for the opposition to continue as a
political party.
The make up Of the so-called
peoples party is such that when il
becomes evident that it AM 10 longer
elect any Of the nominees it ceases
to do business. 1t is and has been
from the start nothing more nor less
than a pie counter auxiliary to the
democratic party.
Had it not beer for the fact that a
large number of voters were led to
believe that it would make no diff
erence to them whether they voted
the straight republican ticket or
occasionally voted for a nominee OH
the opposition ticket, the success Of
the democratic party eight years ago
would not have been possible. The
result of their victory cost the
country millions Of dollars. 1t
made it possible in Day county for a
few individuals to obtain possession
by foreclosure of a vast amount of
real estate and personal property at
a fraction of its true value; it robbed
farmers of their homes, cattle and
machinery; laborers and their fami-
lies of a means Of living; small house
holders Of their homes, and brought
ruin generally. 1t was the penalty
of the doctrine that it makes no
difference to the voter whether he
voted the straight republican ticket
or not.
Voter, il does make a difference to
you. You know that if you vote for
the opposition candidate it strength
ems the opposition party, you know
that the ucces of the opposition
party means ruin to you and to your
property. If you permit yourself to
be wheedled into voting againstyour
own best interest to help build up a
party the success of which brings in
its wake your financial ruin, and that
ruin ultimately follows you have
yourself to blame, and when you
balance up your books do not charge
the loss up to profit and loss but
charge it up as experience dearly
bought.
There is nc reason why any repub-
lican voter in Day county should
split his ticket, every nominee of the
republican party is we'll qualified
to fill the Office for which heis nomi-
mated, and we believe that no repub-
lican voter can find any justification
for voting for a candidate on the
opposition ticket particularly when
he takes in consideration the results
which have in the past followed the
success Of the opposition forces.

Ths Webster World, in its issue
of last week, seems to contain a chal-
aenge to this paper to advise voters
to vote the straight republican ticket
an case there is any good reason 'hy
they should do so, and intimated
that there is no such reason. The
Reporter and Farmer accepts the
challenge and does urge all repub-
lican voters to vote the straight
republican ticket for these reasons:
The first AMI most important reason
is that the success of the opposition
has always proven detrimental to the
farming interest of the country as
to the interest of every other class of
people in the country. The financial
panic through which the people Of
the United States PASSED only so
short a time ago under the beneficent
management Of the democratic party
is too fresh in the minds Of the peo-
pie TO require any proof of its exis-
tence. Past events have shown that
under whatever name political
parties may masquerade there are
only two political parties having
power to benefit or injure the people
generally. The so-called populist
party never was, and in the light of
the last populist state convention
never viii be, a power in national
politics. During the entire existence
Of the SO called populist or peoples
party it always has been and still is
an adjunct of the national demo
cratic party, so that any voter when
he goes to the polls, votes for either
democratic or for republican princi-
pies and we believe that the unex-
ampled prosperity Of the past few
years under republican admins
tration is sufficient evidence to every
fair minded voter of the fact that it
is to his interest to vote for the
republican party.
A second reason is hat during the
SO called Populist administration in
several of the western states, the
value of land was lower in those
states than in the surrounding states
having republican administration
and the rate of interest was higher
IN such states than in surrounding
states having republican admins
tration.
A third reason is that every time
a voter helps TO elect a candidate on
the opposition ticket, it strengthens
the opposition and makes it possible

Sold Indians Whiskey.

Two men were brought to Aberdeen
this morning by Dan Collins, deputy
United States marshal, and Chief of
Police Gibson, of Waubay. One Of the
men is Frank Mullen, white, and he
acknowledges the crime and will prob
ably so plead when taken before Com
missioner Adams for a hearing. The
other is a black negro who was about
Aberdeen for a while earlier in the sea-
sou and who got into some trouble here.
He gives the name of Frank Williams,
and strenuously denies having boot
legged and sold liquor to Indians. In
spite of this the evidence is said to be SO
strong against him that he will go over
the road when the time for a trial
comes. The hearings will probably
take place this evening.-Aberdeen
News, Thursday.
Frank Williams, the colored indi-
vidual who was here for II while and
went to Waubay when he left town,
was bound oyer by Commissioner
Adams to the federal grand jury for
sesasg liquor to Indians in Day county.
The other man from Waubay, Frank
Mullen, charged with a like offense,
was also bound over. Bonds in each
case were fixed at $500, and both will be
