SHOOTING AFFRAY
MAY PROVE FATAL
Man Named Swartz Attacked
by His Brother-in-Law,
Jacob Merkel.
LIES AT POINT OF DEATH
Shooting Occurred as Result o.
Quarrel and Took Place Near
Bangor in Walworth County
Other News.

Aberdeen, S. D., June 1O.-Reports
come from the country west of the at
tempted murder Of maj. by the name
of Swartz by his brother-in-law, Jacob
Merkel. The victim Of the assault is
now lying at the point of death with
a bullet wound clear through his body,
while the would-be murderer languishes
in the Walworth county Jail at Bangor,
but a few miles from where the shoot
ing occurred.
The shooting occurred Sunday after
noon, 1t being the result of quarrel.
"A sister of Swartz, who had married
iMerkel, had left her home and her nus
band accused her brother of being the
cause of her leaving. Sunday Merkel
drove to the Swartz home and had a
heated conversation with one of the
Swartz boys, who finally turned to
walk into the house, and While he was
passing in the door Merkel shot him,
the bullet going clear through his body.
Swartz lay the rest Of the day as
thoughg dead, but the following day
showed some signs of life. but there is
very little hope of his recovering. Mer-
KEEL was promptly arrested
Swartz, the man who was shot, comes
of q somewhat notorious family, his
father being one of the Haymarket an
archists. The elder SwartZ was tried,
but he was allowed his liberty on con-
dition that he and his family would
leave the city. His daughter the wife
OF Merkel, AMI the woman who left
her home, causing the trouble between
the two brothers-in-law. was also tried
for the Haymarket murders.
Whether the Swartzes still believe In
their anarchistic theories is not known,
but since coming to South Dakota they
have been law abiding citizens and
have prospered In the state, having ac-
quired seven quarters of South Dakota

Flooded with Letters of Inquiry.
Washington, June 10.-The opening
of the Rosebud country in Gregory
county, s. D., is attracting more atten-
ton than any similar opening to white
settlement Of Indian lands which the
Indian or general land offices have en-

THE GRADUATES WON.
Senior Glass of the Yankton Schools
Had the Sort of Exercises They
Had Wanted

Yankton, s. D., June s.-The graduating
class of the Yankton schools had its own
sweet way in it's little controversy with
the school authorities. The board took tho
liberty of indicating what sort of exer-
cises 1t wanted held, and the plan didn't
suit the graduates, who proceeded to make
business active.
The board wanted exercises by the class,
consisting of some dramatic and oratori-
cal efforts. The class members didn't
think themselves fitted for such an APP
pearance and preferred a commencement
GRAFTON by some distinguished speaker.
The superintendent stood by the boards
plan and the board stood by the super
intendent.
Finally the students got their parents
and friends interested, and there was
some practical politics. 1t resulted In
talk of designations from the school board
and even In the report that the superin-
tendent of the schools might resign. But
after the superintendent and the board
had surrendered and the pupils been Civ
en- their way, the trouble was soon over,
and it is stated there will DO no disagree

Mind.
New Orleans TimesDemocrat: ASK

nine times out Of ten what number he
has selected. though his selection is
made mentally" said man who is
fond of the odd things, land when you
come to think OF it the task of naming
the correct number is not a difficult
one. In the course of an hour the
other day I asked ten men to think Of
a certain number-any number between
one and ten-and I would tell them
what number they had fixed their
mind on. In nine cases out of ten 1
was correct, missing it only once. The
minds of nine of the persons selected
the number seven, and one of them Sc
lected nine. 1t is not difficult to I'M
derstand why the mind should run to
the number seven. 1t is the most nat
ural thing in the world for the mind to
select seven. Even in the case of the

Tho Art of Clear Dictation.

New York Sun: Few people think
and talk with precision and in logical
order, even of the men whose trained
intellectual ability is made manifest
in their deliberate writings. In dictat-
ed judicial opinions and legal docu-
ments there now often appear redun-
dancy, completely of thought and care
lessness of expression. Of which the
burden of Interpretation is great; and
jometimeS the separation of wheat
from the chaff is next to impossi BILE.
Moreover, we discover in many con-
temporary literary productions, books
and what not, like evidences that they
were dictated by men who had not
mastered the art. The difference be-
tween written and dictated work is
made apparent in the absence of any
thing like individuality of literary style
and in q machine-lille uniformity il
which there is no more literary style

Nebraska Judges Say Dennison's Case
Must Be Heard in That

Omaha, Neb., June IA lengthy &C.
ision was handed down by the district
court today in the motion to quash the
application of Tom Dennison for a
writ of habeas corpus. Judges Day,
Troup and Redick. who heard the ar
guments, were unanimous in the con-
cluson that 1t would be unjust to allow
the removal of Dennlson from the state
until evidence had been submitted to
the court on the question Of fact
whether he was a fugitive from JUS
tice. The opinion was delivered by
Judge Redck. The other two Judges
concurred in the conclusion, although
differing on some of the legal issues
involved. The hearing of evidence as
to whether Dennison is a fugitive from
justice, on his application for habeas
corpus, will begin Friday morning. 1t
is expected the case will occupy several
weeks.

Eyelets Sold by the Million.

New York Times: "Eyelets," said
manufacturer in Center street. ARE,
like needles, pins and matches, sold by
the million instead Of by the pound.
don't suppose anybody could tell how
many million eyelets are sold every
year In New York, but the number is
prodiglous. Eyelets are made for a
variety of uses, from the huge white
meta. loops sewed into the corners of
ships sails to the tiny eyelets for the
dainty slipper of a baby. The greatest
number of eyeets made are, of course,
for shoes. They are put up in boxes
of 100000, 100000 and 50O,OOO Only
those proportions are packed. They
cost anywhere from $50 to $3.50 a mil.
