The Rosebud
Being Discussed

The South Dakota delegation is
determined to press the Rosebud
bill, now pending in the senate, to
speedy passage.
The membersI of the delegation,
with the exception of Congressman
Martin, who is in the Black Hills
looking after his fences, have had a
number of conferences lately with a
view of agreeing upon some plan of
action looking to meeting the oppo-
sition of President Roose velt to the
OIL as now constructed. There are
those in the delegation, however,
who believe that five dollars an acre
is considerably too high for the land,
higher even than majority of the
Indians had agreed to take per acre
1or the reservation when Inspector
Mci 1aughlln was endeavoring to
make a treaty with them, and they
are IN favor Of passing the bill, and
II the president should decide to
veto the bill then the responsibility
would rest with the chief executive.
and not with the South Dakota dele
CATION.
There is very great deal of bit
terness developing against the pres
ldent for the stand he has taken on
the Rosebud bill, and he is hearing
ON this opposition by letters and
kilograms.
AS far as the delegation is con-
cerned, it has but one object in view,
and that is, if possible, to change
the bill SO as to make it satisfactory
to Mr.. Roosevelt, failing in which
the senators will insist on passing
the bill as it came from the house,
letting the president assume the
responsibility for vetoing the meas
ure.
1t is stated that Speaker Cannon,
who knows considerable of the value
of land in South Dakota, believes
that if the president should veto the
bill that an effort should be made to
pass the bill over Mr.. Roosevelt's
head, but Of conrse, no such effort
will be made, as senators and repre-
sentatives do not care to openly set
tho selves against the president
alcng such lines.

VERDICT IN coANoRs' CASE.

The coroner's jury appointed to
hold an inquest over the remains Of
Pat Connors. the man who was
found dead in the back yard of Nc
Nish S saloon at Hill City, Wednes-
day morning last week, returned the
folio wing verdict:
"We, the jury sitting in the case
of Pat Connors, deceased, believe
that he came to his death by drink
ing from bottle, the contents OF
which are unknown to the jury,
after having been on a prolonged
spree, and we think that he poi
soned himself, but without suicidal
intent"
The supposition is that Connors
drank nitro-glycerlne which was III
the bottle. The bottle had evidently
been left on the floor in the back OF

murder: and from that moment till his
death at Port Richmond. Staten Island,
thirty-two years later. the life Of Burr
was one succession Of visionary
schemes. always romantic and some

charge Of murder. he was acquitted
largely through the brilliancy Of his
own defense Twice brought to trial
later on charges OF treason. he both
times fought his own way to triumph

But he had lost the confidence Of his
friends. and was no longer feared by
his enemies. He was not Welcomed in
this country. and was ignored or in
