'Marcum jury DISAGREE.

Jackson, KY, June 21.-The jury re
ported it was unable to agree, and
shortly after o'clock it was dis
charged, so that there will be another
trial.
The dominant faction evidently ex
pected acquittal, but there was at least
one juror who would not so report.
Judge Redwine has decided to trans
fer the Jett-White case to Cynthiana
for the next trial.
1t is stated from a semi-officia]
source that the jury stood II for con.
victim and one for acquittal in the
Jett case and seven for conviction and
five for acquittal in the White case.
Judge Redwine, of his own accord
changed the venue to Cynthiana at the
next term Of court. Cynthiana is moi
in Judge Redwine's district. He sur
prised the spectators by ordering the
prisoners sent to Lexington under q
detachment Of soldiers and accompa
MED by Ellison Jones.
Lexington, Ky.-Captain Even, or
hearing what the judge had done, said
he would remain here until Monday
night and then either go to parts un
known or apply for board at the Lex
ington Jail. He said he was afraid he
would be assassinated by Jackson men
even here. AS Even is the only eye
witness against Jet and White who
will testify, it is feared that he will be
disposed Of before the new trials al
Cynthiana and he was warned from
jackson today.

INDIAN ANNUAL sun DANCE
THREE DAYS OF WARRIORS JOY
AT HAvRE, MONT.
Are Mostly crees-Lasted Three Days
and Nishts--caIled Sun Dance by
White men Because Dancers Keep
Their Faces to the Sun While Dane.
ing-ln Large Circular Tent.

Havre, Mont, June 22-Twelve hun
dred Indians have begun their annual
sun and grass dance here, which will
last three days and nights. Hundreds
OF white people are witnessing the at
fair. Many Indians from the neighbor-
ing reservations are here to take part
in the ceremonies connected with the
dance.
Indians assembled here for the
dance are mostly Crees, with visiting
delegations of Assinniboines, Blackfeet
and Chippewas. Little Bear, the chief
of the Crees, has solicited funds from
Havre business men to the amount of
$500, which has been spent for decora-
tions of gay colored calicos to drape
the dancing tepee, ribbons for the
squaws and children, yellow and red
blankets and various other adornments
SO dear to the hearts Of the red men.
Several hundred whites have visited
the camp and paid the admittance fee
to the tepee to witness the fantastic
capers of the painted braves. Several
parties of officers and ladies from the
army post, including the regimental
band, are among the sightseers.
The sun dance is so named by the
whites because the dancers always
keep their faces turned toward the
sun while dancing. The Indian name
is "Paghagapapa," meaning 'They pre-
pare their tent and dance"
Much has been written about the
Cree dance, which is held annually in
this vicinity, for the purpose, some
say, Of revenue only for the Indians, a
side show apparently, which for an out
and out fake to gull gullible public,
has not been surpassed since the day
Of P. T. Barnum's chief humbug ex-
hibits.
The sun dance takes place in large
circular tent. Around one end of the
tent is piled brush as high as the In
dams breast. Behind this brush and in
the center stands the man who gives
the sun dance, his dancers being on the
right and left of him. The tent is COX
100 feet and on the top is thrown
brush for roof or shade In the CEN
ter is large pole, at the top of which
the spirits are supposed to be seated,
watching the dancers. Near the pole
stand the drummers and singers. The
dancers themselves dance round and
round the ring on heel and toe, jing-
ling bells. The Indians bodies are
painted all colors of the rainbow. The
dance over, they have great feast of
dog and protracted spree which ends
only when they are bankrupt.

THE TEXTILE STRIKE OFF.
Council at Lowell, Mass, Admits Can
Not Win.

tNOh WIZ
Lowell, Mass, June 23.-The textile
council has declared the strike in the
Lowell mills at an end. Every union
affiliated with the council was repre-
sented and the vote was unanimous.
Male spinners and loom fixers were in
cluded in this vote, despite statements
that they would oppose a return to
work. President Conroy later said:
I'VE now worship at the altar of de-
feat. but later we shall rise again and
conquer"
William H. Southworth, OF the
agents, said it would be impossible to
start the remainder of the machinery
so as to employ at once all who will
come back. and added:
''It is for the selling agents and the
treasurers to decide in view of the mar
ket whether we shall attempt to run
In full"
The strike began on March 80 and
involved about 100 operatives. The
mills were closed until June 1, when
the agents opened the gates and the
majority Of the operatives went back
to work. The strike has cost in wages
about $1.s00,000. The high price Of
cotton precluded any hope of success
of the strikers for a ten per cent in
crease.

WINNER Of CHICAGO DERBY
THE PICKET WON EASILY BY SIX
LENGTHS.
He Made the Best Time Ever Made In
a Race Before-7oooo People Pres
ent-The Favorite Came in Fourth
1t Took 10 Acres Of Ground to Hold
the Automobiles.

Chicago, June 21.-The Picket, a
horse that never before finished first
past the post, won the American Derby.
He set the pace every step of the dis
lance, was never challenged, and won
in gallop by six lengths. He ran the
derby distance, one and a half miles,
faster than it was ever run before in
the race. His time was 2:33.
Claude, the winner of three derbies,
was second. Bernays, the Cincinnati
candidate, was third. 1t was a race
without the thrill of an exciting finish.
The crowd of 10000 people which wit
messed the sixteenth running of the
event saw contest that had been de-
cided when the field turned into the
stretch. In front of struggling field
The Picket ran so easily and truly as
to leave no doubt where he would fin
ish. The roar of cheers which greeted
the successful horse began when The
Picket was more than an eighth Of a
mile from the wire.
The crowd that saw the American
derby was the largest in the history of
the race. 1t numbered between 60, 900
and 10000 people. 1t was Chicago's
greatest gathering Of any year and
carried with 1t an unusual display of
fashion. What promised to be dis
NAL day turned out to be an ideal one.
The grandstand was packed before 1
o'clock. The inf1eld from the club
house to the half stretch was covered
by hundreds Of equipages, the smartest
turnouts that the wealth of the city
could procure. In the infield were 500
vehicles OF all sorts except automo-
biles. The autos were barred from the
grounds as matter of safety, but were
allotted space opposite the main en-.
trance to the track. It took 10 acres
OF ground to accommodate the horse
less machines. Society gathered at the
CLUB house and in the boxes and
formed the most fashionable outdoor
gathering that ever assembled in Chi
cago.
Record Breaker Of the Turf.
The derby was record breaker of
the turf. Nineteen horses went to the
post, the last previous field having Is.
Inc largest crowd that ever gathered
on western racetrack covered the
washington park grounds. The race
was worth. $32.275, gross value, the
richest in the history of the race. with
one exception. Betting on the race
began in March and continued until
the horses went to the post. More
money, 1t is asserted, was wagered ON
the derby than on any other race ever
run in America.
The victory of The Picket was no
surprise, because a surprise was ex.
pected. But there were some big dis
appointments. Savable, the 'favorite
son OF Salvador, thought by John A.
Drake to be invincible, failed to live
up TO his reputation. He received a
