SCOUT THE SUGGESTION OF A
FURTHER CONFERENCE.
Say There is No Need OF it-Claim is
Made That They Have Nearly 30
900 Men ut Work-Retaii Markets
Cut or From Ice supply.

In a statement given out Thursday
night by the Chicago packers the report
that there is about to be another confer
ence is declared to be unfounded. The
packers assert that there is not the
slightest possibility of further confer
ences with the strikers. According to
this information the progress being made
at the plants is satisfactory to the pack
ers; more men are employed daily, all
contracts and current orders are filled,
and there is a normal supply of beef,
mutton and provisions at all plants in the
United States, while sales are made at
lower prices than before the strike be-
gan.
Beyond trying to enforce the order for
bidding the delivery OF ice to retailers
who have been hauling meat from the
stock yards themselves since the team
sters struck, the strikers did little. Up
to Thursday the ice supply of 100 retail
markets has been cut off.
International Secretary Homer ID. Call,
of the butchers Organization, declared
Thursday that outside influences are
again trying to bring about a settlement
of the stock yards strike, but declined to
discuss further the prospects for an inn
medinte end to the struggle. He expect
ed no direct oyertures from the packers
ed no direct overtures fro mthe packers
before Monday, but by that time hoped
TO accomplish something of a beneficial
nature.
Numbers of strike breakers employed
in the packing plants are reported to be
deserving in lunches Of fifty or more
when paid off.

CONFLICTING CLAIMS.
Packers and Strikers Disagree as
TO Facts.

The meat packers Of Chicago, whose
union employees are on a strike, claim to
be in a better position now than at any
time since the struggle began.
When asked for the packers side of
the situation Tuesday night Arthur
Meeker, general manager for Armour,
said:
'The strike may be said to be near an
end. AT the rate we are securing new
employees it will be only a matter of q
short time until everything will be N
normal condition with us once more.
when the butcher workmen repudiat-
cd their agreement and renewed the
strike after signing an agreement to sub
NIT all grievances to arbitration, we
made a special effort to win the fight, and
we have been a great deal more success
full in our efforts than the most sanguine
of the employers had hoped for. The
other employees places have been filed so
promptly that very few Of the strikers
will eve be able to get back their old
places, and those who do will come back
as individuals"
This assertion was made by Mr.. Meek.
er after the packers had brought in dur
ing the day, according TO their estimates,
1900 new men, and another official of
Armour & Co. had said that the packing
firms were doing nearly so per cent Of
their usual business.
Police reports of the number Of new
employees arrived at the yards bore out
in a large measure the packers state
ments.
Despite these declarations Of the pack
ers' representatives, the pens at the
stock yards are filed with cattle and
hogs that buyers make no bid for in the
market. According to commission men,
there are thousands Of holdovers in all
departments Of the yards, and the cattle
in the pens will not all be out Of the way
by Saturday night. II the face Of all
this shippers are constantly forwarding
stock to Chicago, and indications are
that there will be a decided slump in
prices of live stock.
1t is on this statement, and with the
further information their men have been
able to secure, that the strike leaders
base their claims that the packers arc
still badly crippled, Notwithstanding
statements to the contrary.

GREAT COUNCIL or SIOUX.
Important Meeting on the Cheyenne
Reservation.

The most important council held by the
Sioux Indians since the cession to the
government in 1889 of IL 100000 acres Of
land lying between the Missouri River
and the Black Fills has been concluded.
The council was held at the point where
Cherry Greek empties into Bad River,
in the southwestern corner of the Chey-
enne River reservation. All OF the Sioux
agencies and tribes were represented, 1t
being estimated that the council was at
tended by from 5000 to 5000 Indians.
The most important development Of
the council was in relation to the alleged
irregularities of the Black Hills treaty,
It having been discovered as the result Of
statements made by leading chiefs at the
council that the agitation in regard to
the Black Hills treaty has caused the
Sioux Indians to form II OF the most
complete organizations in Indiap history.

MET a HORRIBLE DEATH.
Alfred Olson Sca!ded by Breaking
of Pines.

Alfred Olson, of Salem, 81 years of
age, was scalded to death by the break
ing of a couple of steam pipes on a
threshing machine.
He was an engineer working with the
Oscar Johnson outfit, and in attempting
to run the engine ahead he pulled he
wrong lever, starting the engine back
ward against the separator in such a
manner that his leg was caught between
the two and the steam pipes snapped in
twain. One hundred and forty pounds
of steam was carried at the time, and
the whole of his body was scalded, from
the chest to his feet. He lived only i've
hours, being in terrible pain, but retain
ing consciousness to the last.
Olson was the son Of a widowed mo-h-
er, and is the third person having had an
accident while working with this rig.

UMBRELLA ROD PIERCED BRAIN
Victim of Strange Accident Dies in
Sioux Falls Hospital.

Percy Kolthof, of Montrose, who a few
days ago was injured by being struck on
the head with the sharp point Of the
center rod Of an umbrella, which flew
from the hand Of a man who was swift
ly swinging it, died in the Sioux Fails
hospital as the result of the accident.
A post-mortem examination proved
that the iron point of the umbrella had
passed through the skull and penetrated
the brain at least an inch and a half.
The inner side of the skull was badly
shattered and a piece of bone three-quar-
tiers of an inch in width had been forced
into the brain. Other particles of bone
were found in the brain. As the injury
which resulted in the young mans death
was purely accidental no Investigation
will be made.

Most serious disorders are anticipated

der. All the stores in the city are now

AT a public reception President Nord
made an address which has alarmed the
foreign residents. He accused the for
eign population OF plotting against his
government with the object of overthrow
ing it, for which they had put up the
rate of exchange and also prices on all
goods. The president said he had decid-
ed to defend himself and intimated that
he would take strong measures.

LIVELY SCENE ON A TRAIN.
Guns Drawn and Fists Used on the
Milwaukee.

The drawing of pistols and a sharp
istic encounter was the result of Bone
steel grafters attempting to steal a ride
on the northbound Milwaukee train Sat-
urday evening. When nearing the VII
lage of Tulare one of the party refused
to pay fare or leave the train.
Conductor Fargo summoned the entire
train crew, and after a fierce struggle the
CRATER was removed. Onc on the sta
ton platform he pulled a gun, which was
grabbed by the conductor i'll TIM to pre-
vent fatal consequences. The conduct
or and brakeman then marched through
the train with drawn revolvers, COM
manding all passengers to remain in their

EXTENSIVE IRRIGATION PLANS
Movement for Improvement of Big
Tract on Box Elder Creek.

The Chamber of Commerce of Rapid
City, has under way a movement to get
10000 or 10000 acres of land under irri-
CATION along Box Elder Greek. The
plan is to build a large reservoir on Box
Elder Greek and catch water from that
creek and also dig a ditch from Rapid
Greek, which parallels Box Elder, thus
having a continual supply, The matter
has been taken up with the government
and it is likely that an appropriation will
be made for this extension OF the Black
Hills ~irrigating system. 1t is believed
that the expense will not exceed SO per
acre. Several meetings have been held
by the business men of Rapid City at
which farmers and ranchers from Box
Elder Greek have been present.

STRIKE IS
Transfers Union Takes a Hand in.
Chicago Trouble.


The threatened spread of the Chicago
stock yards strike to outside industries,
came Wednesday night, when an order
was issued by the Teamsters' Union for
bidding drivers of ice wagons to make
any deliveries to retail butchers who,
since the packing house teamsters went
on strike, have been hauling meat from
the yards in their wagons. As the re-
frigerators in most markets do not hold
enough ice to last longer than forty
eight hours, the order to cut off the sup
ply Of ice, if it can be enforced, means
that many persons in Chicago will be
compelled TO foreso, fresh meat. Officers
of the Transfers Union have appointed
pickets to watch retail markets all over
Chicago, with instructions to see that the
boycott is carried out.
Outside of the decision of the striking
union to extend the strike to the ice
men, there was little change over pre-
vious situation in the stock yards. With
their new employees and those that have
deserted the unions the packers man
aged TO dispose of fully so per cent as
much work as is carried on under normal
conditions.
Fewer than 300 new employees arrived
at the various plants Wednesday, this
being the smallest number Of strike
breakers received during any day since
the employers decided to bring outsiders
TO Chicago to break the strike. The
packers declared that the reason for the
small addition to their forces Wednes-
day was that they were about through
hiring workmen. and were now choosing
only skilled men.
While admitting that the packers are
doing considerable business, the strike
leaders declare that the employers are
losing money on every animal that is
slaughtered, as the unskilled workers
waste all the by-products.

WEEKS HAPPENINGS
NEWS OF THE WEEK IN A CON-
DENSED FORM.
Uncle Sans Big Lottery-Incidents
of the Drawing Just Ciosed-F
OF Disappointment-Smali Crowds
Cause Pecuniary Losses.

A Chamberlain special says: Uncle
Sam has just put on the last act IN the
giving away of 1900 homes in the beau
tiful Rosebud. and is making immediate
preparations to give away 600 more IN
the Devils Lake country in North "a
kota. To say that the homes are gifts
is a mistake. for Uncle Samuel is a willy
old boy and has succeeded in disposlng
of these lands at 81 an acre, a fairly
creditable real estate speculation, II
at Devils Lake will ask, and ~ndoubted
ly receive, $3.50 an acre.
To the newspaper correspondents VINO
attended the drawing with the intention
of giving their papers a full ana com
plete account of the gamble there was
much disappointment. There was httle
of picturesqueness i'll the hnal act OF
the Rosebud drama, especially when COM
pared to the stirring scenes which TOOK
place within the lawless confines OF the
Rosebud, out worst of all, no provision
for handling the immense amount OF tele-
graphic matter had been made, and the
war correspondents who are struggling
to get news out of the wal zone nave a
soft snap compared to the correspondents
who struggled and cursed broadly at the
inadequate rural telegraph facilities at
Chamberlain.
The newspaper correspondents were not
more disappointed, however, h a the
people of Chamberlain. They had ex-
pected q great influx Of visitors to the
drawing, and they were doomed to dis
appointment. However, this was but
one more chapter III a series of disap-
pointing realizations that have come to
the people of the drawing town in connec-
ton with the Rosebud lottery. Cham
berlain had been made a registration
point, and it had been thought that the
largest crowds would come here to regis
ter. Why this opinion should have pre-
vailed is a mystery, but it did, and eX-
tensive preparations were made to receive
the hordes which did not come. Thou
sands were invested and proved a dead
loss, for nearly everybody stopped at
Yankton or went around to Bonesteel.

TO FOREsTALL A LOCKOUT.
Big Strike i'm Building Trades in
New York

The Building Trades Alliance at New
York City, made up of seventeen unions,
have declared a strike against the George
A. Fuller Construction Company. and
work was tied up on five large buildings.
Philip Weinsheimer, president of the
Building Trades Alliance, who declared
the strike OH the subway last week, is
responsible for the strike. The reason
given for calling out the men was because
of a claim that the Fuller Company has
been using stone from non-union quarries
and trimming yards. In some quarters
it is said that the actual reason for the
strike was a fear that the Building
Trades Employers Association would
declare a lockout.
