RACES AT ALEXANDRIA
Some Of the Races We're Very Fast
on the Last Day-Grasshop-
per Won the Pace.

The last day of the races at Alex
andria Thursday vas characterized
by some very fast going, particularly
in the free-for-all pace, in which
Grasshopper, Geo. W., Prosperity and
Miss Hopping were again matched.
Grasshopper won the race in three
straight heats, although lie was
pushed to the limit several times by
the other horses. In the first heat
Geo. W. ought to have won out, for
he had the lead down the stretch, but
Grasshopper won by a nose. The
time was 2:19. Prosperity got second
money and Geo. W.. third. The free
for-all was a splendid event and vas
closely contested every heat.
In the 2:3O pace Castor won in
straight heats and had no trouble to
beat the field. Miss Kappa was Sec
ond and Montauk third, with Cap c
fourth.
A young boy by the name Of Fox
was run over by one Of the horses,
and the animal stepped on his face,
cutting a bad cash. 1t was reporJed
the boy was dead, but it was found
later that he did not die, although he
was unconscious for about an hour.

BOYS FAILED TO STRIKE
A Strike Among Strawberry Pickers
Failed to Materialize at the
SeatOn Farm.

There are a dozen or fifteen lads
picking strawberries out at the Sea-
ton farm at present and they are get
ting two cents a quart. They got to
talking over the matter and decided
that they were not getting enough
for their expert labor, so they agreed
to strike if they were not given
an increase Of half a cent on the
quart. Foreman Belts was author
lied to present the situation to Mr..
Seaton, and the lad explained the
matter. Mr.. Seaton didn't take
the proposition very seriously and
laughed and said no. Well, the
strike did not materialize. Two or
three Of the boys weakened when 1t
came to giving up their job and the
rest had to fall into line. What a
serious thing it would have been to
the strawberry market of the country
had those boys taken it into their
heads to strike. We think that the
coming Of Forepaugh's circus had
something to do with averting the
calamity.

made the time pass very pleasantly
indeed for her guests.

SEVEN WERE CONVICTED
Five Indians and Two White Me1
Convicted Of Horse stealing
in Lyman County.

Judge Smith has been holding court
out at Oacoma, in Lyman county, for
the past two weeks and came home
Friday, having finished up all the
criminal cases on the calendar that
we've ready for trial. AS a result OF
the term Of court the moral atmos-
phere on the Sioux reservation is
somewhat Durer by reason Of the sew
en- convictions secured of Indians and
white men who have been in the hab-
it Of helping themselves to horses and
cattle whenever the spirit moved
them. At this tenn of court five In
dams and two white men were con-
victed of horse stealing and sentenced
to terms in the pe%nitentiary. The
hardest fought case during the term
was that Of Albert Pipe Night and
Moses Good Voice, two Indians. 1t
required two days to try the case and
it looked as though they were going
20 get clear Of stealing twelve head
of horses from George Richardson last
October. The star witness in the
case, however, testified against the
Indians and the jury was not long in
convicting them.
Jack Sully, the notorious cattle
thief, had five indictments hanging
over his head, but. he failed to turn
up at the term Of circuit court as he
declared he would when he escaped
from the Dawson county Jail last
January. Su!ly has teen living with
his friends and relatives on the res
ervation ever since he escaped from
Jail, going and coming at any time
day or night when he wished and no
attempt has been maSe5to arrest him.
The convictions of these criminals. it
is believed, will have a tendency to
put a stop to the ~lawlessness that ex-
lists on the reservation, for the vio-
lators have always maintained that
no court on the reserve could secure
a conviction, due to the fact that the
members of any jury would be afraid
to convict for fear Of the retrihution
that would follow in the killing Of
cattleian the stealing Of horses from
them. Such a procedure has been
In force for some time past with the
effect that convictions have been.
scarce. The cattlemen have taken
their chances on the future and hav-
ing convicted these seven they think
that it will have a good effect.

DEATH OF |. W. LEWIS
Died Sunday Night a Little After
the Hour of Midnight-Result
Of Tuberculosis.

The life Of L. W. Lewis has been
hanging in the balance for a number
of months with very little show Of
recovery. He died Sunday night at
a little past the hour of midnight,
his death Icing caused by tuberculo-
sis, Of a cancerous nature. The
trouble first originated a little over
five years ago when a small cancer
appeared on his lip. This was re.
moved. however, and it did not make
its appearance again until a little
over a year ago. Since then he has
been gradually failing. The affec-
tion spread to his throat and caused
him much suffering and pain. For
the past few weeks he has been able
to take but little nourishment, and
four days previous to his death only
a limited amount of moistened
nourishment could be taken.
Mr.. Lewis has resided in Mitchell
for the past seventeen years. He
was born at Watertown, Wis, Sept.
a, 1850. Previous to coming to
Mitchell he was a conductor on the
Milwaukee railroad, and gave it up
to come to the then territory Of Da-
kota. Shortly after moving here he
was elected to a position on the city
council as alderman, and a few years
later he was elected as a member of
the board of county commissioners,
which position he held, we UNDER
stand, for three terms. In these
|capacit es Mr.. Lewis was a man who
looked after the interests, Of city
and county very much as he would
take care Of bis own property. He
was a man that was well liked for
his splendid qualities of both heart
and mind, and as a friend and neigh
Dor he remained firm ard true. His
death will AUS !. much sadness
among his many friends in the city,
and he will be missed in many walks
of life. For the past few years he
has been buying grain for several
elevator companies, and up to two
wekes ago he transacted the bust
ness for the Loomis elevator at
Loomis at his home. The deceased
was a careful business man and one
in whom the people placed the ut
most confidence and reliance.
He leavesa wife and four chill lren
to mourn his loss, and by his death
home ties Of a most lovable character
are severed.
Funeral services were held over the
remains of the late..L. W. Lewis Tues
day morning at 10 O'Clock at the Holy
Family church. Requiem High Mass
was conducted by the Very Reverend
Dean Shea, and the services were OF
an impressive character. He con-
Guided the service by making some
appropriate remarks on the occasion
of the death Of MI. Lewis. There
was a large number Of floral offerings
sent to the church and these were
t~astefully arranged within the altar.
The following were the body bear.
ers: T. G. Burns, James Lyons, D.
w. Collins, d. A. Mizener, W. H.
Conyes and JOS. Koch. The remains
were laid to rest in the Catholic
cemetery and were followed there by
a goodly number of carriages.

with their-the Organic Aet-and If
they ratify the County Act it will give
confidence and enable those in charge
of county government to proceed with
some chance of success.
There is nothing secret about the
thing at all, but if the Advertiser
wants to imply a threat by sending a
copy of today's paper to every member
of Congress it will do the Territory
harm.
UNLESS Congress acts in our behalf
in the manner desired, I see no alterna-
tive but to call an extra session of the
Legislature. Attorneys are at work
trying to upset the Act Whether
| they succeed or not their efforts will
prevent success. Capitalists will not
lend money to the counties while un-
certainty of their status remains.
For one in this administration, am
| in favor of local self-government, de-
centralizing, to stop paternalism of
which we in the past have been ac-
cused."
When, with reference to his dis
claimer of secrecy, the Governor was
reminded that Mr.. Hatch had departed
on his mission before anything re-
garding the matter had been divulged
for publication. he replied:
''Mr. Hatch is not sent to Washing
ton by the Government but by outside
parties who take an interest in having
| the uncertainty settled"
! Governor Carter referred to the re-
quest from Maui county officials for a
conference to be called by him as a
fresh evidence of the dependence of the
people throughout the islands on the
1 central authority in Honolulu, which it
was the intent to replace with popular
| self-dependence. With the immense
expenditures required for various pub
llic services Of the Territory which
there were not visible means adequate
ly to meet, the Governor considered 1t
was high time the people took charge OF
their purely local affairs and realized
/ as well that they were the taxpayers
who had to provide for both Territorial
and County necessities. The expe-
rience would be their best education in
| civic responsibilities and tend to pat
an end to graft and extravaganza.

Governor Carter said yesterday he
did not know whether or not the Ad-
vertiser's statement that copy of that
days issue would go into the hands of
every Senator and Representative in
Congress was to be taken as a threat
was to be so understood he considered
that the Advertiser was working an
injury to the public of this Territory
by it's attitude. From this the Gov
ernor went on to say:
''It is assumed that the idea of Mr..
Hatch's trip is a tacit admission to
Congress that we are not competent to
enact a county bill, and that we want
to obtain law which cannot be modf-
fed except by Act of Congress.
tNow, it is a physical impossibility to
get decision of our Supreme Court
on the County Act before the first of
January. Neither can we obtain Su-
preme Court decision on a submission
of facts, as I understand. If we could
get decision, it would only be upon
specific case apd would not prevent
a disgruntled taxpayer from taking an
appeal upon different case.
''The situation is grave because if
county governments come into effect
and be operated for a little while and
then the Act get knocked out, there
will be chaos before the Legislature
could be summoned to rectify the trou-
BILE.
The people of the Territory have ex-
pressed their desire for county govern
ment. Both political parties have tax
en- it up and put their best efforts on it.
Hence it would not be sincere, moi
show good faith, to neglect to do any
thing within our power to carry out
the plan.
"All Mr.. Hatch proposes to do is to
find out whether there is any possibil-
ity of getting Congress to ratify the
County Act and the election, subject tc
further amendments by the Territorial
Legislature. All that we say is thai
we are perfectly capable of legislating
for ourselves.
There are differences OF opinion as
to whether or not this Act conflicts

The foregoing dispatch was received
at the japanese Consulate yesterday
afternoon. 1t reveals a condition of
affairs which have been undergoing
thorough investigation during the past
few days by prominent Japanese of Ho-
nolulu.
The Ball mentioned in the dispatch
is ]. P. Ball, local attorney, recently
arrived from the mainland who is said
to be acting here as the agent for some
big mills around Seattle and Portland,
and for whom he is recruiting Japanese
laborers in these Islands.
Mr.. Shiozawa, editor of the Hawaii
Shinpo, the Japanese daily paper. and
others, have started crusade against
the work being done by Ball, with a
view to prevent other ignorant Japan
ese laborers being tempted by his al
Turing offers to leave the Hawaiian
Islands for the mainland.
A few weeks ago Attorney Ball ship
red big batch of Japanese laborers
on the Aorangi to Victoria, the japan

attic, and even to San Francisco, with
out additional expense over the $50
which they paid for steamer tickets at
this port A cablegram was received
on the arrival of the Aorangi at Vic
toria that the entire lot had been held
by the British Columbia Immigration
authorities.
When the Moana arrived here from
the Colonies on November 1S, Attorney
Ball had fifty-seven more ignorant
Japanese ready to ship, whom he
brought down to the Pacific Mail dock
and placed on board. This was about
$50 p. m.
A japanese appeared among the Ia
1orers and loudly proclaimed that they
were being cheated, and urged them TO
remain here. Ball interceded, but not
before about a dozen had announced
their intention of remaining behind
Ball, through his interpreters, got
about half of these back. The Japan
ese man who nearly stampeded the Ia
borers said the Japanese were expect
ing to go to san francisco instead OF
Victoria. Most of them replied in the
affirmative. He asked them why they
should go on the Moana to Victoria
instead of going to San Francisco direct
by the Alameda which sailed the next
day.
Ball retcrted by saying, through his
Interpreters, that his agents would see
to it in Victoria and Vancouver thaI

Francisco all right AS the japanese
had paid over their money to Ban. the
majority decided to accept his state

grafton authorities at Victoria
'.oh. they got through all right was
the reply. THAT was little game OF
the planters here so as to stop me irohi
sending any more from the Islands
They are our enemies"
The above dispatch shows, however
that even the lot which the attorney
had guaranteed a through journey are
held up in Victoria. and there is sIlai'
