GOVERNOR CHGTTERTON
BLAMES THE INDIANS
Sioux Fired When Requested to Sur
render by Sheriff.

! Governor Chatterton. of Wyoming, has
given out a statement Of the State
version Of the recent fight between
deputy sheriffs and Sioux Indians, in
which several were killed on both sides.
He holds that the Indians were ille-
gally killing game and running OF the
cattle of ranchmen. When requested TO
surrender they refused and resumed
their journey.
Sheriff Miller REINFORCED his posse OF
six by five cowboys and asked the In
dams three times to surrender. Each
time he was refused and at the third
request the Indians began firing. When
they saw they had killed white man
they attempted to escape.
The governor says there is no doubt
the whole responsibility rests with the
Indians. and he will see TO it that the
,ed men are tried. II only to put the
dead white men before the community
in their proper light as martyrs to duty.

Public Feeling Adverse.

Notwithstanding tlis public feeling
throughout South Africa is strongly
against Chinese immigration. 1t is as
pronounced among the Dutch colonists
as among the British, and the Cape
parliament has condemned it by an over
whelming majority. Lord Miner and
the other authorities in the Boer colo
MES of England are. therefore. using
their power in an arbitrary manner,
against the wishes of the white popula-
ton of South Africa, but in accordance
with the views of the mine owners. and
incidentally for the development of the
trade and industry of South Africa,
as well as for the benefit of commerce
all the world over. The importation of
Chinese will be on a vast scale.
1t is estimated that some half a mil
lion coolies will be required for the
mines already opened, as well as for
those projected in the near future, while
the British government itself will re
Quire a force Of some 6Gto0 for the con
struction of the extensive railroad syB-
TEN which has beer PLANNED, and APP
proved by Lord Miner. Indeed. the Chi
nese immigration, when once started.
bids fair. throush the heavy demands for
the unshlleG labor market alone in
South Africa - become so vast as to
make the enfo. cement of the restrictive
ordinances a matter of impossibility.
In fact. the Chinese flood which EN-
peror William and others have always
regarded as threatening to overwhelm
Europe may yet be diverted into Africa,
and the descendants of Shem GUST those
OF Ham in the Dark Continent
EX-ATTACHE.

BLEW KISS TO BABY,
RECEIVED DEATH WOUND
Stonemason in Chicago Thought to
Have Been Mistaken for a
Strike-Breaker.

CHICAGO. Nov. 14.-Holding a baby in
her arms, and looking out Of the front
window Of her home in Union Avenue
last evening, Mrs. Michael Butler saw
her husband shot down at the gate by a
man who escaped
Butler is a stone mason, forty years
old As he opened the gate, and threw
a kiss to the baby in the window, a
man stepped up and said: Throw up
your hands"
Butler complied. and three shots were
fired at him. One of the bullets pierced
his abdomen, and II is thought 1t will
prove fatal. The police of the Thirty
nth Street station are of the opinion
that Butler was mistaken By his as
sailant for some one else. as the assault
was evidently not for robbery. They
are working on the theory that Butler
was mistaken for a non-union employe
of the city railway company and was
followed home by his assaIiant.

LARGE FACTORY RENTED
FOR DETAINED CHINESE
Great Influx at Malone, New York, of
Celestials Slated for Deportation.

The Bureau Of immigration has re-
ceived a report from Malone. n. Y. that
the large number of Chinese detained
AT that port Of entry has necessitated
the rental Of a factory to be used as q
temporary detention house. The regu-
lar detention house is filled to the lirni.
and many of the Chinese have been
lodged in the Jail. IN order to cut down
the expense entailed by the use OF the
jail the bureau has ordered the rental
of the factory building
II has also been reported that 126 more
Cinnamon are expected to arrive at
Malone in a few days. The unusual
congestion of Chinese at this port is
due to the accumulation OF number OF
cases in which the bureau has decided
on deportation, but which have been
held up for the decision OF the courts

industry all over the face OF the globe.
Il must be added that the South Afri-

nection Herewith is out Of the question.
and as far as the mines themselves are
concerned. the Importation of the Chi
nese will not affect the white labor
market in South Africa in the least, al
ways providing that they can be re-
stricted to the mines and TO work OF
the same kind, which by reason OF the
conditions of climate is beyond the
power Of the white man. There are hun
dreds Of square miles of auriferous ter
ritory. not only in various parts of the
Transvaal. but also in Rhodesia, which
cannot be mined. nor even scratched,
under the existing labor conditions, but
which may be developed TO advantage
with the assistance of cheap Chinese
labor So 1t cannot be said in any JUS
tice that the Chinese Iaborer will dis
place the white man as far as the mines
and unskilled labor of an analogous
character is concerned, and the objec-
ton which has been put forward that
the mine owners were bent on working
their mines with Chinese labor in order
to escape from the thraldom of the
trade union. and TO avert the creation
of a white laboring class which would
become sufficiently strong to dictate not
only on the question of wages. but also
in political matters. as in Australia

cumstances could white labor be used
for the work on which it is purposed 70
employ the Chinese.

amount of applause. Possibly the crowd
believed that it was bound to make up
for the lack Of the expected numbers
by the amount of noise.
However, there was not a hitch in
the entire programme, and the fire
works were more effective and impress
siye than they have been on either of
the previous evenings. The vaudeville
acts, too, were especially we'll execut-
ed, and all those who attended felt that
they were well rewarded for their har-
dihood in venturing out in the face Of
the threatening weather
Secretary Randall. when the receipts
were reported last night, was we'll
pleased, and as the he gazed out
through the window at the cleared
sky he remarked:

DARING AERONAUT
MAKES PEOPLE UNEASY
Ascents With Perforated Balloon, but
Lands Safely Within Grounds.

A burning balloon ascending heav-
onward with the daring aeronaut care
lessly performing on the trapeze at
tached to the trailing parachute, was a
feature of yesterday afternoons state
fair entertainment not down on the
programme.
The aeronaut who makes daily as
tensions at the fair had more thar his
share of trouble yesterday. and the
crowds in the grand stand and bleach
ers experienced feeling of relief when
they saw the sailor of the skies drop
unharIned near cornfield beyond the
fair grounds.
In preparing for the ascension the
aeronaut inflated a larger balloon, and
was about to order the men holding
the ball to the ground to release their
hold. when the entire top of the can
vas bag blew out and the balloon COL
lapsed.
Another balloon was hurried out and
inflated, and again the aeronaut pre-
pared for the ascension. This time he
gave the word and the balloon shot
into the air, but as it rose the crowds
to their horror again saw the smoke
escaping from the top OF the big bag.
A shout went up and the aeronaut
coolly began his performance on the
trapeZe and continued to perform as
the balloon began to slowly collapse.
Though apparently unconcerned, the
performer kept close watch on the
leaking air ship. and when his position
became dangerous. he spulled the cord
and released the parachute.
Free from the balloon. he dropped
like shot for a considerable distance,
but the parachute spread open in time
and the aeronaut sank slowly to the
grond not far from the half mile post
of the race track within the fair
grounds.
