other postal employees were being paid in
the same way. AT that time there were
many claims of letter carriers for over
time pay pending, and certain employees
were designated as special agents to In
vestigate and they were allowed 81 fol
expenses, payment being made from the
department of justice funds.
In view of the decision Of the supreme
court ten years before and no new law
having been passed, the accounting Off
Ger of the treasury department was
forced to pass the account. There is a
law on the statute books, however, pro-
hibiting a government employee from
drawing 500 a year in one position and
holding any other office.
Beavers regular compensation at that
time was $4,000 year. but this additional
allowance was only for expenses in con-
nection with the investigation and could
not be for the same salary, and therefore
it was passed.
This all began during the democratic
administration and continued under the
regime OF Perry as first assistant post
master general. When attention was

law, the point being raised by a high ac-
counting officer not Captain Castle. it

A Liberal Constitution.

London, June 19.-The newspapers of
Semlin. Slavonia, say that the new Ser
Wan constitution will probably be the most
liberal of any kingdom. Every offense
of the late King Alexander against the
state is recounted in a prohibitive clause.
The most striking article provides that
the new king cannot pardon any Offenders
All notifications In the constitution have
been communicated to King Peter, who
has approved them.
There is much speculation concerning
the punishment of the regicides. The for
eign diplomats hold that, according to the
constitution the king must prosecute
them. Colonel Mischits, one Of the lead
Ing conspirators, says he does not care
If he is court-martialed, for if he should
be condemned, he would die in the serv-
Ice Of his country. The other conspira-
tors are not so Indifferent, and if the
king stands by the oath to the constitu-
ton there will be trouble.

British Minister to Leave.

London, June 19.-In the house Of lords

nounced that the British minister TO Ser
via had been instructed to withdraw from
Belgrade for some time after the arrival
of King Peter, and in the meanwhile to
do nothing which could be construed as
a recognition of the new government
Lord Lansdowne expressed indignation
at the crimes at Belgrade and said he
thought it was not desirable that Sir
George Bonham, the British minister
should be In that city when the new re!
gime was inaugurated. The foreign min
lister added that no proposal had beer
received for concerted action towards Ser
via by the powers, but the British gov
eminent had no intention of maintaining
ordinary relations with the persons con-
cerned in the massacre. The government,
he added, yielded to none in adherence
of the deeds which had lately disgraced
the capital Of Servia, and that feeling had
not been diminished by later intelligences
which reached the foreign Office

Glasgow, Mont, June 1s-William
Hardee, the condemned murderer who
with three other prisoners, escaped from
the city jail in this city two weeks ago
after killing one guard and beating almost
death two tt srs, was shot and killed
late Monday afternoon in the Bad lands
seventy-f1ve miles from this city after q
desperate battle with the posse under
Sheriff Cosner
Charles r. Hill, one Of the posse, re-
cetved wounds from which he died in a
short time. Fred Mckinney, Hardee's
outlaw companion, succeeded In escaping
but his capture is believed to be certain

How Five Have Died..
Five men are dead as the result
OF quarrel originating among horse
thieves and the end is not yet. This
quarrel which had such sanguinary re-
suits found its origin In dispute over
twenty-five cents loaned by William e.
Hardee to his alleged partner in crime,
Henry Snearly.
In September, 1901 near the little town
of Culbertson, Valley county, Hardee
called upon Snearly and peremptorily de-
manded the return Of the money. After a
Wordy war Hardee left the scene and re-
turning shortly afterWard, fired upon
Snearly, killing him instantly.
After long chase, Hardee was caught.
convicted of murder in the first degree
and sentenced to be hanged. He appealed
to the supreme court for new trial, which
however, the court declined to grant On
the day the court declined to grant him a
new trial Hardee effected his escape from
the Glasgow Jail and only after a long
chase was he recaptured. HIS recapt,1re
was due to the fact that he had become
exhausted for lack Of morphine, of which
he Is an inveterate user.
He was resentenced$t to be hanged June &
and John Brown, an intimate friend Of
Hardee, was convicted of assisting Har
dee to escape from jail and sentenced for
six months. -
On June g. Hardee, Brown and two other
inmates of the jail named McKinnay And
Hill perpetrated a daring tail delivery
during which Jack Pierce, the death watch
over Hardee, was killed and the partic-
ulars of which are still fresh In the pub
lie mind.
Desperadoes Fired First
Hardee was shot and killed by g, posse
that had been on his trail for ten. DAYS.
The officers had trailed FIardee and Nc
Kinney up the Missouri river for a dis
lance Of sixty miles and there found that
the fugitives had crossed the river in a
boat. The posse followed, caught the
trail and went on for twelve miles.

SPRING WHEAT

The Dry Weather in North Dakota

Crops Closely.
The Fall Of Rain for First Half
Of June Much Below
Average.

Z LIZ q
All eyes are on the crops. Interest in all
the grain and milling centers is being d.
rected countryward and reports of cereal
growth or deterioration are being scanned
with great interest. Several unfavorable
features have appeared within a short
time. While the promise, considering the
country as a whole, was in the beginning
more favorable than ever before, things
do not look so bright now. The setback
is serious enough to lower the promise
of the harvest. How serious this is must
yet be determined.
The weather during the coming two
weeks will mean everything, as crops in
many localities are now on the danger
line. The latest adverse development is
dry weather in portions Of the north
western spring wheat area. No irrepar-
able damage has been done, but rain must
fall within week or ten days If the
northwest is to have good wheat crop.

Belgrade, Servia, June 19.-The follow

''The Russian minister here has in
formed the minister of foreign affairs that
he will enter into relations with the Ser
Wan government day, as the car had
been pleased to recognize Prince Peter
Karageorgevitch as king of Servia."
AS Foreign Minister Kalievich Officially

relations appear to have been already re-
sumed.
The streets of Belgrade are beginning
to wear gay aspect. They are decorated
with flags, and Venetian masts have been
erected from the palace to the railroad
station.
Position of RegIcides
The position of the regicides under the
new king is freely discussed and it is
generally expected that they will be pro-
noted and pensioned and then gradually
removed. Any slight to them. however.
would be holly resented by the army,
which Is master Of the situation.
The newspaper correspondents who
came here from Sofia have been recalled.
They say there are indications Of serious
trouble in" Bulgaria The recall of the
correspondents leads those who are init
mately conyersant with the Balkan situa-
ton to expect a recrudescence of the re-
volt in Macedonia. They believe 1t pos
stble that the revolutionary committee
have proclaimed the autonomy Of Mace
donna and say it Is quite possible Bulgaria
will openly favor and aid such line of
action.
The best informed people here regard
the whole Balkan situation as being most
serious and they think that unless the
powers act quickly and decisively, there is
danger of a great confiagration.
The provisional government has offered
the diplomatic corps places at the rail-
way station on the occasion of the re-

desire that they appear in uniform. The
diplomats have not replied, pending the
receipt Of instructions from their re-
spective governments.
Shortage Of Funds.
The provisional government is short OF
funds and has been unable thus far to
raise money in consequence Of It's posi-

fused to float even small loan. An in
