URGES BIG STRIKE.
Labor Leader Advises a Gigantic In.
dustrial UpheavaI.

Chicago, April Frank Buchanan,
president of the International Associa-
ton of Bridge and Structural Iron
Workers, yesterday declared in a
speech before the Chicago Federation
of Labor that he believes the time is
near at hand when organized labor
throughout the country should unite
and declare one gigantic strike
against the combinations of capital.
THE present strike of our members
all over the country against the Amer
lean Bridge company may be the be-
ginning Of the industrial upheaval,"
he said. THAT strike is likely to
spread SO as to tie up the building in
dustry in the United States, as we are
considering the question of refusing to
handle material made by the United
States Steel corporation. In case such
In order Is issued, thousands of men
not directly interested in the strike
will be involved, because if the iron
workers refuse to use structural steel
all the other building trades will be
thrown out of employment"
Buchanan arrived in the city yester-
day morning from New York, where
he has been directing the strike
against the American Bridge company.
He said he was anxious to expAain to
the labor unions of Chicago the orig
inal cause of the strike. The company,
he asserted, persistently violated it's
agreement with unions of ironworkers
in a number Of Eastern cities and
forced the strike by refusing to treat
with the International organization.
"The strike thus far" he added, has
been all in favor Of the men, as the
company's work is completely tied up
all over the country"
His startling statement that the
time is near at hand for a strike of all
organized labor alarmed some of the
delegates, while it amused others.
Following, as it did, the report of
Organizer Fitzpatrick that the employ
ers were organized in every branch of
industry, and setting pitfalls for the
unions in the hope OF disrupting them,
1t caused q decided sensation.

WILL SHOW THE WORLD.
Range Country Will Show What 1t
Can Do.

Reports from all over the country
west Of the Missouri river indicate
that agriculture will receive a practi-
cal test in that part of the state. and
the possibilities of all parts Of the
range in the way of crop raising will
be better known after this year. The
general statement that nothing could
be grown on the range country has
been fostered by two classes of people,
one the stock r~aisers, who wanted the
range left open; and the other real
estate agents in the eastern part Of
the state who wanted to make sales
and did not desire land seekers to get
farther west, and between the two my
move in that direction has been pretty
well discouraged. But the move of
land seekers into that section is well
under way, and the possibilities Of the
country west of the Missouri will be
shown to the world within the next
two years.

LONG CONTEMPLATED SUICIDE

Buffalo, N. Y, April st was made
public here late yesterday afternoon
that Arthur r. Pencil who was sus-
pected of the murder Of Edwin l..
Burdick and who was killed in the au-
| tomobile accident March 10. was a de-
faulter to the extent Of $150,OOO or
5000, 900.
He swindled estates OF friends in
the East out of large sums Of m22ey.
He carried over 5000, 900 life insurance
In order that after his death these es-
tates might be able to recoup the
losses which they had sustained
through him. Incidentally it has been
learned that Pennell made provision
for the payment to Mrs. Edwin l..
Burdick of $25, 900 out of his life insur-
ance.
The means by which Mr.. Pencil de-
rived an income that was sufficient to
enable him to spend in the neighbour
hood Of $40 900 a yea had been a
mystery in this city for a long time.
There had been a suspicion among
a few Of Pencils most intimate
friends for some time that a good part
of his income had been derived
through fraudulent schemes and that
his wealthy friends and relatives IN
the East we're the victims. But there
- ->-r that {Lof uno ca Some
time after his death it began to be
rumored that Pennell had
SwindIed His Friends
and relatives in the East. 1t was
said that they sen him money to be
invested in bonds and mortgages at
fancy rates of interest, and that Pen
nell, instead of investing the funds,
had used them himself n had avert
ed disclosure of his crooked work by
paying the interest on the invest
mentS.
The attorneys who are interested in
the Pennell estate said that they knew
nothing about Pencils alleged de-
falcations. They did not deny that
the story was true; they simply said
that Pencils brother, who mad been
named in the will as administrator or
the estate, had been given secret
sealed instructions, left by the dead
man. and that the administrator had
properly refrained from giving any
information relative to these instruc-
tons.
The story of Pencils extensive
swindles leaked out as the result OF a
legal dispute over two life policies.
Pencil had contemplated suicide
for two years. That fast is known
and it was part of the revelations
made yesterday.

company to connect the town of Spear
fish with Deadwood and the other
cities Of the Black Hills, and to be eX-

The company was organized a few
weeks ago among the most prominent
business men of ~Spearfsh, capitalized
at $4,000, 900, and incorporated under
the laws of South Dakota. The stock

posed road to a successful issue IN
the event that the preliminary reports
are satisfactory.

Ali wealth. The rush to the longest
ed cities is falling off and people are
beginning to appreciate the value OF
the soil and the certainty Of winning
a livelihood by cu~ltivating it. Hence
the Sooner" rush to government
lands when thrown open. Texas
school lands that were to have been
thrown open to actual settlers were
withdrawn for a season a few days ago
because in the mad rush and struggle
strife and ~bloodshed were threatened.
The Canadian Northwest swarms with
newcomers and now South Dakota is
catching the current.
Commerce and manufacture are
losing their allurements and farm life
is losing it's dreariness. In the last
analysis commerce means getting the
already created dollar from some one
else; and, while manufacture is es-
sentially wealth-producing, it is a mod

LAST STORM HURT CATTLE.

There have been heavy losses
among cattle in the region tributary to
Spearfsh during the recent heavy
storms, according to reports that are
coming into hat town. E. H. Cannon,
at the head of the North Fork of the
Little Missouri, on the line between
Montana and Wyoming, says the
storm belt was south OF him and he
did not suffer. The belt, he says, was
fifty miles wide and many cattle died.
John Peterson of Eothen, Wyo., says
the snow is very deep in the Bear
Lodge mountains, and cattle are sui
fering.
Many cattlemen are feeding their
stock grain, as the hay has become ex-
hausted, and they are resorting to
that ~expedient in the hope OF bringing
their herds through until spring grass

MILL 6 ON A LEVEL.

Results Of the First Years Run Of a
New Pattern Plant on Black Hills
Ore.
The cyanide plant of the Imperial
Mining company at Deadwood has
completed it's first years work. After
solving more problems in mechanics
and metallurgy than confront most
cyanide plants of the Hills, it has been
adjusted to a satisfactory and profita-
BILE basis Of operation.
The mill is of a type new to the
South Dakota mineral field. 1t is
built on a level instead Of being ter
raced on q hillside, and mechanical ap-
%pliances are used for the conveyance
of ore from one department to the
other, it having been held by its orig
inators hat this plan possessed ad-
vantages over the plan of handling the
ore by g~ravitation. The designers OF
the plant we're not familiar with the
degree of hardness in Black Hills ores,
and consequently the capacity of the
plant was found by actual test no to
be as great as intended, the rolls be-
ing unable to reduce the rock to a fine
mesh as rapidly as they had been
scheduled to do.
1t is supplied at present with a bet
ter grade of ore than it received the
first few months. and material i'm
prOvements having been made, it Is
able to handle it's ore with greater dis
patch.
The plant has received much custom
ore for treatment during the year, and
has returned the owners of the ore a
liberal profit. At present 1t is running
exclusively on ore from the Imperial
mines, treating a little less than 100
tons a day.
Attorney William L. Mclaughlin has
been elected general manager of the
Horseshoe Mining Company, succeed
ing Charles Allis, president Of the
company. He has been elected a
member of the board of trustees and
secretary of the company, his election
taking place at a meeting of the direc-
tors in Milwaukee. Mr.. MCLAUGHLIN

8 ,000,000 shares that have been issued
from the treasury, with any stock
that may hereafter be issued, have

Discovery Made in a Missouri River
