FIGHT ON FREIGHT TRAIN
Battle Between Trainmen and Trarnps
Resulted in Tramp Being Kill
ed Near Bradford.

A difficulty occurred Thursday
night near Bradford between the
train crew on a freight and some
tramps who were beating their
way, which resulted in the death
of one of the tramps.
The tramps boarded a through
freight at Newport and refused to
get off. When pressed by the
train crew they opened fire on
them. The fire was returned by
the railroad men. After the fight
it was found that one of the
tramps was killed and one or two
of the railroad men seriously
wounded. The other three tramps
made their escape.
The dead man, whose body was
left at Bradford was turned over
to Justice Whitley, in the absence
of the coroner. A 80 calibre
Smith & Wesson revolver, with
two chambers empty, was picked
up near the dead man in the coal
car.
TWO SUSPECTS ARRESTED.
Later adHces from Bradford
state that the unknown dead man
could not be identified, and was
buried at the county's expense.
Two suspects have been arrested
and are in custody, pending an in
vestigation.
The missing brakeman, John
Erwin, was thrown from the train
In the fight and had his shoulder
disiocated and arm broken. He
tagged d train and was picked up
and taken 10 Newport.
The wounded man, A. j. Spear,
was shot in the side, the ball hit
ting and breaking a rib, passing
to the surface in the back, where
1t was extracted at Newport. The
railroad company has detectives on
the ground, and other develop
ments are expected at any time.

THE CLOSING OF The
GREAT WORLDS FAIR
Great Louisiana Purchase ExposI-
ton Passes Into History.
But It's Memory Will Linger Long
and Pleasantly With Those
Who Saw Its Granduer.

The great Worlds Fair has
closed. At midnight, Thursday,
December /, it passed into history
and those who did not visit the
great exposition and witness It's
granduer with their own eyes DO
not realize what they have missed.
The Louisiana Purchase Expo
sition was the largest that the
World has ever seen, and in many
respects it eclipsed all its prede-
cessors. 1t was not as =eompactly
beautiful perhaps as either the
Paris Exposition or the Columbian
Worlds Fair. But We doubt
whether from the point of land
scape beauty and architectural
magnifcence we shall ever look
upon us ike again.
1t must be a source Of profound
qualification to all those who visit
ed it, that they were able to do so.
The memory of it haunts us like a
beautiful dream. And in the days
to come it will be matchless de-
light to turn over the pages of
some pictorial history of its mar
wells, and recall the fact that once
we wandered amidst its enchant-
ments; that we paused here to list
EN- to beautiful music, or stopped
there to see the mighty cascades
fall from the Festival Hall and
make their way into the lagoon.
A Worlds Fair is often regard
ed as merely great educational
force. PROFESSIONALLY it Is all
that, but one likes to think of it as
a dream city, where one comes in
magic contact with all the world,
and where pleasure and a uniyer-
sal camaraderie are the dominant
influences. The person who goes
to great exposition, haunted by
the idea that he must improve his
mind, that he must gather up all
the statistics he can and fill his
head with all sorts of dry facts,
will miss the very best part of it.
OF course we all like to look at
the beautiful and the bizarre prod
ucts Of foreign nations. We like
to compare them with our own and
to get in rapport with the ideals,
the ambitions, the arts and the
technial skill of strange peoples;
but unless one rejoices in the in
spection of these things, he might
just as well stay at home.
10 the man who takes an expo
sition in the proper spirit, it is an
assemblage of all the marvels and
peoples of the world. 1t increas-
es his breadth of view, it enlarces
the catholicity of his spirit, it fires
his inauguration, it inspires him
with new ideals, and it convinces
him of the brotherhood of man.
There is a certain sadness in the
thought that all these beautiful
palaces will now be dismantled
But for the millions who visited
the fair, it has now become a
dream, and as we are such stnff
as dreams are made of SO the
pleasure we derived from it can
never pass away while memory
the mirror of all things beautiful
remains to summon from tho
shadowy past the forms that onca
have been.

which opened a three days engagement at the Grand last night, will be the at traction, and-'nuff said. The play is one of the funniest on the boards this season and as it has delighted large audiences everywhere throughout the land it certainly kept every one in an uproar last night. The piece is written in breezy manner and the general mix-up of relations, where a man be- comes his own father-in-law and his wife his mother-in-law, and the com plications resultant from such condi- tions, are ludicrous beyond descrip- ton.
 Robert Whittier made his initial bow to New Haven audience last night and won for himself generous recogni- tion. His character is one which af lords him an excellent opportunity for best displaying his talents and he takes advantage of every one. The re mainder of the supporting company is also very good and they enacted their various roles last night in most satis- factory manner.
 Tangled Relations" is a sure cure for the blues and will certainly furnish amusement for all who witness it.

NO DIFFERENCE OF
OPINION AMONG
INDIANS.

.'srhe Weekly Review publish
ed at the government Indian
school at Flandreau, S. d., in its
issue of the eth, inst, contains the
following:
1T is stated that the Indians of
the Agency are complaining be-
cause the white men are given
positions such as assistant farmers
ETC., to the exclusion of competent
Indians. 1t is probable that there
is a difference of opinion as to what
are competent Indian employees"
1t there are any grounds for
such differences Of opinion, we
would ask the editor of the Review
what have the Indian industrial
on-reservation schools, including
the Flandreau school, been doing
for ten or fifteen years past if
they have not turned out enough
competent Indians to fill the
positions which the tribes want
filled by their own people2
The reflections of the Review
are obviously against the govern
ment schools for not giving the
Indian children, who have been
attending these schools, such train
ing as the governments pays the
teachers to give them, namely; an
industrial training.
If such difference OF opinion
really existsa as the Review suggests
regarding any doubt about the ex
istance of q sufficient number of
competent Indians TO fill the
positions referred to, we can only
add that many white employees
that are -foisted upon the Iadians
as employees, should not be filling
the positions which They are hold
ing since many uf the Indians are
more competent, according to the
best Judges, to fill these positions.

White EARTH BILL RE-.
PORTED.

''The house committee on Indian
affairs today favorably reported
Mr.. Steenerson's bill to increase
the allotments of Indians on the
White Earth reservation to 16C
acres''-W. w. Jermane, in Mimi
eapolis journal.
For nearly twelve years the In
dians on this reservation have
been trying to have the govern
ment fulfill it's agreements relative
to the amount of land which the
Rice commission promised them
they would receive as allotments,
in conformity with treaty stipu-
lations. Under a ruling of the
secretary of the interior it was
held that allotments of not more
than eighty acres could be given
to the White Earth Mississippi
Chippewas. Senator Nelson took
the matter up in behalf of the In
dams, and secured the passage of
bill twice by the senate, to sallot
the Indians here 100 acres each,
but, through the negligence of
Congressman Eddy, the matter
went by default in the house of
representatives When Mr.. Steen-
erson took his seat in congress
last fall he took Immediate steps
to get bill through congress, and
with the aid of Senator Clapp, it
is almost an assured thing that this
bill will become law at this sess-
ion.
1t has been a good many winters
since any member of the house has
taken as deep an interest in an
effort to secure the fulfillment
of treaty promises as Mr.,
Steenerson, and if one OF
the predominating traits of In.
dians has not died among them by
contact with civilization, he will
have to live more than the allotted
time given to man before they will
forget their obligations to him.

WAVES INDIAN RIGHTS.

Washington specials to some OF
our exchanges state that Com.
missioner Jones has waived the
rights of the Chippewas to take
allotments on the Mississippi,
Winnebegosish and Leech Lake
reservations, in order that the
opening of these reservations to
settlement may be expedited.
If this is true the commissioner
has assumed more authority than
the law gives him. He has no
right to waive the rights of any
Indian to take an allotment where
the law gives him the right to
take it. The Nelson Act gives the
Chippewa the right to take allot-
ments on the reservations where
they are living while the removals
provided for under the law are
being effected.
Until the Indians have all been
allotted lands in severalty, not
one foot of land should be opened
to settlement.
If the Indians should assert
their rights and attempt to pre-
vent the settlement of their reser-
vations in their own way, and
cause trouble the government will
be responsible for it.
The Chippewas have lost almost
everything by the wholesale legal
lied robbery Of their pine lands,
and now an attempt is going to be
made to deprive them of their
rights to allotments by opening
their reservations before the con-
ditions of the agreement under
the Nelson Act are fulfilled.
