Chicago, Jan. NV. p. Dickinson of

Gently indicted at Independence, Iowa,
on complaint of the officials of the
Boone Valley Iron and Coal Company
on the charge that HI appropriated So
500 to his own use, left last night for
Iowa. where he will furnish bonds. Mr..
Dickinson made this statement of the
case before leaving: The Indictment
does not show shortage of $221,O00
but an alleged appropriation of $4,000,
all of which l can show has no founda-
ton in fact. The facts are that do
not owe President Browne, of the coal
company, a penny nor any of his COM
panions, but, on the contrary, they are
largely in our debt and no threat of
criminal prosecution will compel us to
let go of the few bonds of theirs which
we hold subject to the payment of the
claims which we have against them.
When the court says that we are wrong,
Mr. Browne can have his property and
not earlier, unless he settles the claim.

REV. MCKAY CONVICTED.
Found Guilty of the Crime of Rape at


Onawa.
Onawa, Jan. 19.-The jury in the case
of Rev. c. b. Mckay. who has been
on trial here this week on the charge of
rape on the person of Ida Kraft, receive
ed it's instructions and retired just be-
fore noon. There seems to have been
but little debate about the verdict to be
rendered for soon after court convened
after dinner 1T came in with the fol-
lowing verdict:
I'VE, the jury, find the defendant, G..
B. Mckay, guilty of rape as charged"
Judge Wakefield, who heard the case,
will not pronounce sentence till Friday,
January %. and until that time the de-
PENDANT will have opportunity to file a
motion to arrest Judgment.
There is still another Indictment
hanging over the reverend gentleman,
that of seduction of an elder sister of
the girl for whose rape he was found
guilty Saturday.
There seems to be some discrepancy
OF opinion as to the length of sentence
that is liable to be imposed by Judge
Wakefield, varying from five to twenty
years. tho most persons acquainted
with the case are prone to believe the
sentence will approximate the latter
figure. The trial just ended has been
one of the most sensational and scan
dalous ever held in the courts of Mo-
mona county, and owing to the defend
ant being an ordained minister the case
has attracted wide attention.

facts came to light. The matter Is so
important that the judge is Withholding
sentence until all can be learned from
him that he knows. So far as the Off
GERS have had an opportunity to exam
inc into the truthfulness of Halls stor-
les, they have found them correct, and
there will be new and more serious in
dictments returned against Ably. Hall
tells in his part confession that ABLY
had a number of men engaged i'll this
work in northern Iowarand southern
Minnesota. They would break into and
enter various stores, steal plumber, and
then cover up their thefts as we'll as
they could. Shoes We're taken out OF
the boxes and then the boxes We're put
back on the shelves. They usually en-
tered the front door, and when they
went out everything was locked up, so
that the theft was not easily detected.
The goods We're shipped to Ably here
and were then disposed of.

tence Ably and Hall got, permit me to
state that mir. Hail was found guilty
of grand larceny. He was brought up
for sentence and at that time the court
went after him as to his implication OF
Ably and others. The court questioned
him for something over two hours, and
in that time he related great many
facts and revealed a great many cases
concerning the working of Mr.. Ably
and his gang. Hall stated that Henry
Ably offered him $500 to burn the town
from which Ably was sent to states
prison. He stated that Mr.. Ably had
in his employ great many young men
of the same character and stole goods
which they shipped to Ably and he dis
posed of them. Hall stated that there
were two merchants in your city who
bought part of Ably's plumber and that
the rest of it was shipped to other
places. He gave instances. and the

Another Day of National
 Congress at Lead
LAWS, OTHER MATTERS
And the Question of the Place of Holding the Next Congress Were Considered A Divided Portland Wants It.

Lead, s. D.. Sept. 1.-The adoption of a constitution and bylaws, the adoption of a resolution asking the United States congress to pass a law for the establishment of a department of mines and mining, with repre- sentative in the cabinet and the read ing of letter from Senator Morgan of Alabama, in response to an invitation to attend the congress were the prin- cipal features of the days session of the mining congress.
 It developed today that the Oregon delegation is not quite a unit upon the matter of holding next session of the mining congress at Portland. This be- came apparent when Frank " Brown of Portland asked the congress to adopt a resolution to the effect that it is the sense of the American mining congress that in recognition of the enormous benefits which have accrued to the mining industry of the country iron, the consummation, of the Lewis and Clark expedition in 1905 which resulted in the acquisition by the United States of the territory of Oregon comprising the present states of Oregon, Washing ton, Idaho and parts of Montana. Wyoming and Dakota, those states should contribute in every way possi- ble t5 the success of the centennial celebration of the Lewis and Clark ex- position to be held in Portland in 1905, and that in furtherance of this ob- ject the congress also resolve to meet in Portland for it's annual session in 1905.
 The resolution was referred to a com mttee which reported in favor of it's adoption with the clause referring to the 1905 meeting stricken out and it was adopted.
