DEATH OF MRS. AMEs
She Passed Away at Her Fathers
Home in This City Tuesday
Morning,

Much sorrow was expressed when it
was learned Tuesday that Mrs. Geo.
B. Ames had passed away in the
morning, thus severing ties with her
husband, which but lately had been
cementeG at the altar of matrlmony.
Mrs. Ames was taken i'll at her home
in Columbia a little owe a month
ago, and there seemed to be SO little
improvement that she was brought
here to the home Of her parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. S. H. Morgan, where
she could have better medical treat
ment. The family feel very grateful
to DR.. Crane for the almost personal
interest he felt and displayed in
the cas- Of Mrs. Ames, and they felt
that he did everything within human
possibilities to sustain life, but the
disease was too deeply rooted and
tired nature had to give away to
death. Mr.. Ames arrived from COL
umbia, where he is principal Of the
schools, the first of the week. and
with the family have watched the
suffering Of their loved one until the
grim specter put an end to it all.
The deceased was born at CASTLE,
Wyoming county N. Z, Jan. 20, 1876,
and came to South Dakota with her
parents in 1888, located in Charles
Mix county, where she grew to
womanhood. After completing her
education in Ward Academy she
taught several terms in Charles Mix
county, and zane to Mitchell in 1897
with her parents. She continued her
work of teaching in this county until
the close of last year when she was
married Dec. 90 to Geo. B. Ames. of
Columbia. The deceased was a
young lady who had the highest re-
spect among a large circle Of friends,
and as a teacher she had the esteem
of her pupils and Of the community
in which she taught. She was con-
scientious in her work and always
sought to bring out the best in the
nature of those under her charge.
Thursday afternoon funeral services
were held oyer the remains Of the
late Mrs. Geo. B. Ames at the. resi-
dence of her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
S. H. Morgan, corner of Duff and
Seventh streets. The attendance
was very large, for the deceased was
a popular young woman in life. The
services were conducted by the Rev.
T. Fl. Youngman, who five months
ago united them in marriage, and
the last mission was indeed a hard
one for him to perform. His ad-
dress was very touching and it
brought tears to the eyes of all.
Some beautiful floral emblems were
sent by friends, and they were ar
ranged around the casket containing
her remains. The following young
gentlemen acted as body bearers:
Walter Carhart, Cyrus B Warne,
Fred Kratz, Ed. i. Parshall, Levi
Tillotson and Carl Ralston. The
remains were followed by many
friends to Graceland cemetery, where
the interment took place.

LEGISLATIVE APPORTIONMENT.


Senator Will r. Wood, of Lafayette who
arrived yesterday afternoon to be OH the
ground early for the coming session, an
nounced that he is working on a legislative
reapportionment bill. He has not COM
pleted the measure, but he has blocked out
a considerable portion of 1t and has spent
some time in the study of the census fig
ures.
1T is big job to work out equitable
scheme for reapportionment." said Senator
Wood last evening. 1T is not so difficult
to handle the northern part of the State.
but the southern end presents many diff
cuties. In most Of the northern districts
the population has increased in about the
same proportion and few changes are called
for, but many of the southern districts
have rot kept pace with the growth of the
rest of the State. and they now have a
larger representation IN the Legislature
than they are entitled to. Marion county
Is clearly entitled TO one more representa-
tive and one more senator, and Madison
county is entitled To one more representa-
tive. Those are changes which l believe
the Journal indicated some weeks ago.
There are two or three other counties that
are entitled to an increase of a fractional
representative or senator.

ern districts will have to be made larger.
and IL will be extremely difficult TO make
fair apportionment there without making
the districts decidedly of the shoe-string
variety. In preparing a reapportionment
bill one must bear in mind the decisions OF
tionments, and that is where most OF the
bills of that character are at fault. They
are prepared by members who have In
mind only to map out good, strong dis
tricts for themselves. Six years ago,
recall, a Republican senator had a bill in
exclusively, and as We only had majority
OF two and he was able TO hold another
Republican member with him he held us
up for some time. / do not believe mat
reapportionment could be made at the
present time that would be decidedly TO
the advantage of either party, and feel
that the majority will keep away from pol
itics in the apportionment Ii makes.
Il am working on the question now IN
order to have basis from which TO work
when the question comes up. There VIII
doubtless be dozen other bills o1ered,
and the one that Is passed will in all PROB
ability be composite affair worked out by
the committees"
Senator Wood is the chairman of the Sen
ate qualifications committee. He says that
the majority of the senators have sent him
the names of the men they wish TO appoint
appointees can fill to the best advantage,
but the committee has as yet done nothing:
II have written to Kochenour and Ball
that we should get together not later than
Tuesday TO go over the list" said the
seantor. Il am inclined to believe from
the data have on hands that we shall have
surfeit of doorkeepers, and We may nave
some difficulty I'm getting the required num-
Der of efficient clerks from the men who
have been so far suggested.

and it is sometimes difficult for the clerks
TO discriminate between a man who is try

who is really entitled to the hospitality of
the house so far as a seat for an hour or
two is concerned.
Some of these men carry themselves just

they asked TO move they appear
grossly insulted. They adopt all sorts of

FOUGHT DUEL IN STREET
JAMES COTTRELL AND CHARLES
COLEMAN SHOT AT EACH OTHER.
The Former Got a Bullet i'm His Leg
During the Exchange of Compile
ments-Both Arrested.

A belated report Of a shooting affair
reached the ears of the police departing mt
yesterday morning and in the investigation
which followed it was found that one
negro is at home suffering from a gunshot
wound through the left leg. When the re-
port reached the police Bicycle Policemen
Hull and Griffin were sent 10 investigate.
They went to New York street and Indiana
avenue where it was said the shooting had
occurred. 1t was learned that James Cot
trell. colored. had been wounded by Charles
Coleman, colOred. The men met at the cor
ner and began shooting at each other. 1t
was learned that the trouble arose over a
coiored woman named Minnie Hart. The
woman was found at Colemans room, 321A
Kentucky avenue. She was sent to the
police station charged with lettering. a
search of the rooms disclosed Coleman
tightly wedged in a closet. He was taken
out and sent to the police station charged
with shooting with intent TO kill.
Then the police went to CottrelPs home,
422 Roanoke street, where they found him
in bed. His story of the affair was that he
and the Hart woman came TO Indianapolis
five months ago from Nashville. They have
the acquaintance of Coleman. At divers
times Coleman and the woman have been
together. Saturday night near II o'clock
Cottrell met Coleman and the woman at
New York street and Indiana avenue. No
words were spoken, but both men pulled re-
volvers and began shooting. 1t was said
that six shots were fired. One of Coleman s
bullets struck Cottrell in the leg, breaking
one of the bones The shooting attracted
a number of other colored men who were
on the avenue at that hour and they as
sisted Cottrell to his home a few blocks
away. The Hart woman returned with
Coleman to his rooms on Kentucky avenue
The negroes tried to keep the affair a
secret. but someone notified the police yes
terday The informant could not tell where
the men were located. Coleman in his
story to the police corroborated Cottrell'
story. He said Cottrell was jealous of him
because he had been going with the Hart
woman.
While the investigation was in progress
last night a report of another shooting
affair reached the police. 1t was said that
two negroes in Pat Wards restaurant OF
North Senate avenue had fired several
times at each other. When the police ar
rived the occupants of the place disclaimeC
any knowledge of a quarrel.

CAUCUS CHAIRMAN.
Senator's Dausman and kittinger Are
i'm the Race.

A few days ago it was predicted by men
in touch with legislative affairs that there
would be no contest for the caucus chair
manship of the majority in the Senate, al
though Senator +. A. Dausman, of Goshen,
and Senator w. A. Kittinger, of Anderson.
were avowed candidates for the place. 1t
was said that Senator Kittinger would
withdraw from the race and be made joint
caucus chairman.
Senator Walter l.. Ball, of Muncie. and
Senator Will r. Wood, of Lafayette, are
understood TO be the main hackers of Sem
ator Kittinger and they had conference
with the Anderson man in this city yes
terday. Last night it was said that as a
result of this conference Kittinger had de-
cided to stay in the fight for caucus chair
man.
Ball and Kittinger returned TO their
seen last night. He said that he did not
understand that Kittinger had decided to
withdraw. 1T is my understanding, said
the Lafayette senator. that Senator Kit
finger will remain in the race and that he
regards his chances of winning as very
good. However, please understand that
l am not speaking for Senator kittinger.
The caucus Craftsmanship of the majority
in the Senate Is regarded as the only place
for which there is any prospect of con-
test in the organization of either house.
Dausman has been in the race since early
i'm the fall and has the advantage of Kit
finger in that he has given more time to
looking after his fences.
