not know who the guilty party was. A
complaint was made 20 Superintendent
Owens and he with the assistance Of the
police watched the actions OF men who
were suspected. Last evening Patru was

FEAR A LYNCHING.
Militia Guards Ranchmen Who Muir,
dered the Berry Family at ST.
Francis, Can,

Topeka, Kan, June 11.-As far as
lnown the Osborne militia company, on
The way to ST. Francis with the men
accused of the killing of Daniel Berry
and his sons, have not been molested
by the parties of armed settlers.
Armed men have been focking into
st. Francis all day according to a dis
patch received from Atwood yester-
day afternoon.
& The situation is critical The set
tiers are greatly angered against
Dewey and his son, and claim to have
lndisputable evidence of their guilt.
Even should evidence be introduced
excusing their crime, whether guilty or
not, the settlers in the present infamed
state Of mind are seemingly determined
to @wreak vengeance on them anyway
as the majority of the settlers recog-
nize in the present case an opportunity
to even up old scores with the cattle
men.
The militia reached the Dewey ranch
last night with their prisoners, and
camped. A slow march to ST. Francis
was this morning started. There is no
jail in ST. Francis, and the troops do
not wish to get the prisoners there be-
fore Thursday, when the trial will be-
gin. The soldiers are proceeding with
great caution.

APPLAUDED MURDER.
Montana Woman Killed Her Ex-Hus-

Helena, Mont, June 11.-Mrs. T..
Brown Of Powderville gave herself into
the hands of Sheriff Savage of Custer
county, saying she had killed Richard
Standifer, formerly her husband, and
who afterwards, married her sister.
Mrs. Brown told the sheriff that
Standifer and his wife were visiting
at her ranch. Standifer asked her why
she never came over to visit them. She
replied she did not want to. Upon this,
Btandifer struck her in the face and
knocked her down. When she arose,
he knocked her down again. The third
time she got up and started for the
house to get q gun, but Standifer pre-
vented her from SO doing.
Later Standifer and his wife met her
en- route to town. Standifer asked her
where she was going. She said: TO
town to have you arrested.
Standifer said: IF you do, I'll kill
you. I guess I'd better kill you right
now
Then he reached towards his boot for
his gun. Mrs. Brown knew him well
enough to@ take no chances, and shot
him as he stopped over, the bullet hit
ting him in the back and he fell out
Of the buggy. She went to Miles City,
where she surrendered and was re-
leased on $1,000 bail. Her action is ap-
proved by the citizens generally, VINO
regarded Standifer as a bad character.

HAVE DONE LITTLE DAMAGE.
Cut Worms Have Not Seriously Hurt
Beadle County Corn.

Huron, S. D., June 11-Reports of
ravages of cut worms in cornfields in
this, Beadle, county were very much
exaggerated; while in a few limited To-
calities the worms have done some
mischief, the destruction is not as seri-
GUS as reported last week. A number
Of farmers have replanted a portion of
the cornfelds, partly because of cut
worms and partly because Of unfavor-
able weather conditions. Low temper
ature and cold rains proved unfavor-
able to the termination of corn, but
during the past week the crop has made
fair progress. Wheat and oats have
made splendid growth, and rye and
barley are coming on rapidly; some
report heading on short stem, but the
crops generally are in good condition
and making fair headway. Rains
Monday morning were very refreshing,
and will materially benefit potatoes and
corn, while grass will again make rapid
growth; this crop promises very abun-
dant, and with the customary crop of
millet there will be ample feed for
stock. Flax, although limited in acre
age, bids fair to be a remunerative
crop; it is in good condition and strong.
Altogether the conditions the past week
have been good, and all crops have
made satisfactory progress.

Providence, r. l., June 1.-THE
stories that Secretary Shaw 10 intend
ing to resign from the cabinet, or that
he will not seek reappointment, should
the portfolio again be proffered him,
receive credence here as 1t Is known
that Senator Aldrtch is anxious to step

Senator Aldrich has gone to Cleve-s

return early next week and will begin
tinkering his fences, knowing that he
will not find it easy sailing when the
fight for members Of the general as
sembly takes place.
Such a thing as the appointment Of
Aldrch is not improbable. Aldrich is
on the best of terms with the prest-
dent, and is also close friend Of
Hanna. Hanna has not announced
whether he will support Aldrtch, but
Is expected to. His appointment would

DRIVEN TO SUICIDE.
E, B. DuelI, Who Drowned Himself,
Was Victim Of Circumstances.

Rapid City, S. D., June 10.-The sui
eide of E. B. Duell, who drowned him
self In Box Elder creek, is now thought
to be due to his connection with the
case of John G. Smith, on trial here for
incest.
Smith is charged with being the ia
ther of his own daughters child. The
girl is very young, and Duell formerly
Kept company with her and was great
ly infatuated with her. He was the
principal witness against Smith, and
smith sought to clear himself and
overthrow Duelrs testimony by claim
ing that Duell had himself wronged
the girl.
The evidence showed clearly that
smith had been guilty of such relations
with his two daughters for some time,
and the girls through fear kept still
about 1t for a long time. The girls
We're finally induced to testify against
their father and complaints were made
against him.
From notes left by Duell 1t is plain
ne had contemplated suiciding for some
months, perhaps since finding what
condition his former sweetheart was
lh' and that when her father tried to
lmphcate him he decided to kill him
sell at once. He was engaged to
Smiths daughter.
