LAUCHSAT PiDLOCKS
Sioux Falls Penitentiary Has a
Dangerous Prisoner.
Special to The Globe.

Special to The Globe.
SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Nov. 3d.
James O'Brien, an expert craftsman
who was captured at Marion, southeast
of Sioux Falls, some weeks ago. on
suspicion of postoffice robbery and
later turned over to the Hyde county
authorities, has been lodged in the
Sioux Falls penitentiary, where he will
serve a term of three years, having
entered plea of guilty to the charge
of burglarizing the Mclaughlin hard
ware store at Highmore
He was captured through the
shrewdness Of Mrs. F. E. Griffin, who,
with her husband, conducts a restau-
rant at Marion. She noticed the eX-
tremely careful manner in which he
handled satchel which he had with
him.. After eating meal, and while
STOPPING over to grasp the satchel, a
small quantity of a peculiar liquid ran
out of a little bottle which he carried in
his upper vest pocket, the cork eyI-
IDENTIFY having come out. AS soon as
he had departed, Mrs. Griffin sum-
moned her husband, who examined the
liquid, and discovered that it was
nitro glycerin.
O'Brien's arrest followed. He had
not been in the Highmore Jail twenty
four hours, after being surrendered by
the United States authorities in Sioux
Falls, before he offered to bet the
sheriff S. that he could open the jail
door in less than five minutes, regard
less Of the fact that two padlocks had
been added to the regular Jail lock for
greater safety. The sheriff refused to
make bet, but finally the prisoner Of
fered to show what he could do. He
pulled from his clothing key made
from an aluminium comb and opened
one lock. A key made from spoon
opened another lock, and he was about
to start on the third lock with a wire
when he was ordered to stop.
After that time, and as long as he
was in the custody of the Hyde county
authorities, special guard was en-
gagged to watch him. The federal and
state authorities feel that with the
bars of the penitentiary between him
and the outside world one of the most
dangerous crooks who ever operated
in the state has been put out of bust
ness.

CH|PPFNAS OBJECT
TO SALE OF TIMBER
Minneapolis Lumbermen Deny
TheyAre Interestedin Appif-
cation for Injunction.

The Minneapolis lumbermen deny
they are in any way interested in the
suit instituted in Washington by rep
resentatives of the Chippewa Indians
to prevent the sale Of timber under the
regulations Of the Morris law.
According to the act of 1902, of which
Judge Morris is the author, certain
timber is to be sold next Saturday.
Under the regulations the purchasers
are obliged to burn all the refuse in
order to prevent forest fires, but they
are allowed to cut over the entire tract.
On Dec. % there is to be another
sale of timber. This is on what the
government has set aside for a forest
reserve, and the purchasers are COM
PEELED to leave at least per cent of
the timber standing and to burn all
refuse.
The bids in both cases are to be seal
ed, and it is expected that no pros
pectiVe purchaser will know what an
other is bidding.
This phase of the proposition does
not worry the lumbermen as much as
that requiring them to burn the refuse.
Experienced loggers assert that it will
cost about 81 a thousand feet to cut
the timber and similar amount to de-
stroy the refuse.
According to the terms of the law, as
eXpounded by. logger yesterday, it
requires that the cost of the burning
of the refuse shall be deducted from
the price paid for the lumber, but the
officials of the land office have decided
differently
Another objection registered by the
Indians is that under the Nelson bill
of 1889 they coded their surplus lands
to the government and were to receive
the proceeds of the sale of the timber
Under the Morris act a forest reserve
has been established and 5 per cent of
the standing timber is to be preserved
for the benefit of the posterity of the
white man, in whom the Indian takes
little interest.
The timber is to be cut under the di-
rections of so-called experts sent from
Washington, and trees which they des-
ignate shall not be cut will have to be
left standing.
A prominent lumberman said last
night that the Indians are already in
debt to the government, and if the tim
Der is sold under the provisions of the
Norris bill all that will be left for them
will be to go into the bankruptcy court
1t was reported from Duluth yester-
day that on Saturday night the Mime
apolis lumbermen had held a meeting
to consider the situation, but calls upon
the leading manufacturers of the city
failed to confirm the story.
In the meantime the sale of timber
scheduled for next Saturday will be
held. The hearing in Washington will
not be until Dec. 10, and should the
court restrain the secretary of the in
terror from proceeding with the sale,
the timber will not be sold on Dec. %.

RooseveIt'S Rocky Road.

According to The Syracuse, N. Y,
tant for Roscoe Con1ling and ME
Too PIatt, and more lately state SUI
perintendent of insurance under Gov
ernOr Black, has been induging in
some political prophecy which, coming
from politician of long experience
and intimate knowledge of inside mat
ters of the republican party, is of con-
siderable Significance at this juncture
Among other things Mr.. Payn pre-
diets that Mayor Low. of New York,
will be renominated and defeated by
at least 100000, and that President
Roosevelt will be renominated and
will also lose New York state by over
100000 votes. The Telegram adds
that Payn is a shrewd and far-seeing
politician and does not rashly form
political judgment.
The Platt-Odell feud has effectually
disrupted the republican party in New
York state, and there is no possible
common ground upon which the war
ring factions can be brought together
in the fall of 1904 with Roosevelt as
the presidential nominee. The Platt
machine regards the occupant of the
white house as its enemy, and its Sc
cret enmity toward him is becoming
more outspoken as the fight for SUI
premaCy between the governor and
senator progresses 1t is impossible
for President Roosevelt to hold his
political fortunes aloof from the New
York quarrel, and It is difficult to see
how he can essay the role of peace
maker in the interest of his political
fortunes
In addition the glamour Of San Juan
hill has pretty well worn off in New
York state and republican politics
there has readjusted Itself to the old
machine basis. 1t is unlikely that the
pOpulace will be stirred by any brass
band enthusiasm from which Roose-
Welt as candidate can profit next
year, and with a dual machine he will
surely have an uphill pull to get out
of the state with a majority Other
republican politicians than Mr. Payn
are cOOlly figuring out defeat for him.
Mr.. Roosevelt as a civilian and some
time mugwump is far from a popular
idol of the republicans Of the Empire
State
Indeed Mr. Roosevelt is far from
secure In his strength east of the AL
leghenies, and it is going to take more
