THE PURE FOOD BILL
STAND OF RICHARDSON I
 FAVOR OF MEASURE.
Law Prevents No Man from S.lling, But Compels Him Not to Sell Goods Under Misr.pre-
 sentation.
Advertiser Bureau.

AQVeTtlSer fSuTOdus
 Colorado Building,
 Washington, Feb. 8. The editorial recently appearing in The Advertiser on the pure food bill. which passed the House a few days ago has att tracted much attention, especially with the Representatives from Alabama.
 The pure food bill came from the In- terstate Commerce Committee. It was reported by that committee in the last Congress. was again favored by a major ity of the committee-only two of the committee dissenting.
 Representative Richardson has taken an active stand in behald of the measure. He spoke in the Fifty-seventh Congress in favor of the bill and make strong speech for the bill again this season. The very position he took was taken in the editorial of The Advertiser. He was the only Representative from Alabama who voted for the pure food bill.
 Representative Richardson contended with great earnestness that the bill pre- vented no man from selling. but com pelled him not to sell his products un- der false representations. The States had failed in their pure food laws. This bill, he said. would create uniformity of stand ards which would meet all the trouble in the enforcement of State laws. The bill in no wise interferes with the authority or statutes of the States.

BANK CASHIER SHOT.
futile Attempt It Robbery at Platte
Center, Neb.

MILAN Holden, q farm hand, during
the noon hour Tuesday, entered the Platte
Valley Bank, at Platte Center, Neb., de-
manded the banks cash, and on the re-
fusal Of Cashier Barney Schroeder to
surrender it, shot the latter in the breast,
inflicting a serious but not fatal wound.
He made his escape in a buggy without
securing any money.
Holden was pursued and later captur-
ed by Sheriff Carrig, after the robber
had fired at his pursuers.
William Schelp, a clerk in the bank,
was in the back room when the robber
entered. AS soon as he heard the shot
he gave the alarm. The robber jumped
into q buggy which he had left in a con-
~venient place and made his escape. The
citizens formed a posse at once and start
ed in pursuit of the robber. The sheriff
Of Platte County at Columbus was also
notified Of the attempted robbery and
shooting and started at once for Platte
Center.
A Columbus, Neb., dispatch says:
Sheriff Carrig and a posse captured the
Platte Center Bank robber Tuesday even
ing. Following the news of the holdup,
Howard Clarke, cashier Of the State
Bank Of this city, brought his automobile
into action and with the sheriff and a
couple Of doctors made a double quick
run to the small village, unloaded the
doctors and then Joined in the man hunt.
The robber was pressed hard about nine
miles west of the city and finally over
hauled, but not until he had shot at his
pursuers.
He took a close range shot at Charles
G. Englehorn, whose horse SHE'D and
threw Englehorn in a barbed wire fence,
where he received serious injuries.
The robber was taken back to Platte
Center and Sheriff Carrig had hard work
to ave him from mob violence. He was
positively identified by Schroeder, even
though he had changed his clothing and
removed a glass eye that he was wearing
when he did the shooting.
The bandit gives the name of "Billy"
Holden, and says he has been working
in the beet fields near Oconee for about
two months. His home, he says, is in
Michigan. He is about 80 years of age.
S~hroeder's wound, which was at first
thought to be fatal, is now believed to
be not serious. The ball struck a button
on his vest and it's course was DETECTED.
1t has been removed, and he is progress
ing nicely.
The robber got no money. He is secure
in the cell and the Jail is being guarded.

BIG SHIP is RAMMED
STEAMER NORD AMERICA HAS
a HOLE IN HER SIDE.
Carried Fourteen Hundred Passen-
gers Stecrage Full of Immigrants
Returning to Italy-Accident In
New York HarbOr.

Ae New York special says: Fourteen
hundred Italian steerage passengers re-
turning to Italy on La Velose steamer
Nold America were thrown into excite
ment Wednesday when the ship was ram
med by the New York, New Haven and
Hartford Railroad float No. 6 il the har-
Dor off Liberty island. The float struck
the steamer about forty feet from the
stern and two feet above the water line,
tearing a hole twenty feet long and six
feet high in her plates, and making 1t i'm
possible for the vessel to continue her
voyage without extensive repairs.
At the moment OF the collision many
of the steerage passengers We're ON the
side of the ship toward the approaching
float. When the crash came and the
Nord America heeled over alarmingly,
many of the passengers were greatly
frightened and the crew had much diff
Guilty in reassuring them.
When the collision occurred the Nord
America was going down the upper bay
with n full head OF steam. She had left
her pier at the foot OF West Thirty
fourth Street at lilo o'clock. AS she was
passing the Statue OF Liberty Capt. Raj.
70 saw on his starboard bow the heavy
steel float, with n dozen freight cars
aboard, coming directly toward him.
According to Capt. Raffo's statement
he thought the captain of the float would
pass under his stern and kept on his
course, but the float came on at full
speed and struck the steamship.
After the Nord America regained an
even keel and the passengers We're quiz
eted the vessel returned to her pier. The
float, which had apparently suffered but
little in the collision, continued ON it's
course. The Nord America will have to
be locked and repaired, and cannot re-
sumo her trip for some time.
The company is in a dilemma as to
what to do with her steerage passengers
thus left on their hands. The next steam
er Of the company to saii, the Lombar-
dia, due Friday, has every place on
her booked, and the Nord Americas pass
engers Inc be put aboard her.

MOB AGAIN
Threatens to Lynch Negroes Mt Lex
Observation-Disclosures Act Quickly.

A Lexington, Ky, special says: At
10:45 o'clock Monday night the prospect
Of q mob which had been formed on the
outskirts of the city attacking the Jail
in which Ed Taylor, Garfield Smith and
John Taylor are confined was so pro-
nounced that County Judge Bullock adj
vised the militia to be called out. Con-
stables and deputy sheriffs to the num-
bersof fifty had already been put OH
guard at the Jail, and all the day police
had been called from their beds to REIN
force the night force.
The authorities declined to give out
the information that had come to them
as to the plans of the mob, but they
were in touch with the situation, and
considered it grave.
Sunday night the three negroes who
are now in Jail started out on an expo
dition to kill white dogs" Entering
Luigart's saloon they opened fire OIL a
company Of white men who were strang-
ers to them. William Moore was shot
dead as he was crouching behind a bar
rel. Others found more secure cover
and escaped, though bullet holes mark
ed their places of refuge.
Sunday night a mob of 800 formed and
went to the jan after midnight, but was
persuaded to dispense when informed
that the police were aware of it's plans.
At IL o'clock Monday night Col. Roger
Williams, of the Second regiment, called
Company G into service. Runners were
sent for the soldiers in all parts Of the
city. County Judge Bullock was at the
Jail with the chief Of police and detect
ives and sheriffs were directing precau-
tionary measures.
While a minstrel performance was in
progress at the opera house, a halt was
called and it was announced that Col.
Williams requested all militiamen in the
audience to meet him in the lobby. This
caused excitement, and by IL o'clock
hundreds of people were fiocking to the
Jail. The police stretched ropes across
the streets surrounding the Jail and re-
inforced this with a living chain of blue
coats. They received information that
two brothers Of Moore's widow, who
with ten children is left unprovided for,
were at the head Of a mounted mob rid
ing from Bourbon County. The report
that the widow had said she wanted the
men lynched melted many to join the
mob. The main rendezvous is Oh the
Bryant station pike.

WEEKS HAPPENINGS
NEWS OF THE WEEK IN A CON.
DENSED FORM.
Says He Killed Garrett-Otto EricK.
sen Confessed at Belle Fourche-
duplicates His Two Rr~others-Gus
Mattson, CARROTS Partner, Freed

Begging for mercy and crying like q
child Otto Erickson, a Finlander, con-
fessed to committing one of the most bru-
tai murders in the annals of the Black
Hills-the killing Of James Garrett neal
Belle Fourche about three weeks ago.
He also implicated two brothers, one Il
years old and the other about ii.
With this confession ends all search
for the murderer of the prominent ranch
err and gives to Gus Matson, CARROTS
partner, who has been confined in jail ut
Belle Fourche as a suspect, his liberty.
According to the self-confessed crlm-
inal, he and two brothers were riding the
range in search of stray cattle. lhey
came upon Garrett, who was driving a
cow and calf. The rancher was warned
by the Firms to leave the COW alone, as
it belonged to them. It is alleged that
Garrett remarked, "You d-n Finlanders
want to let me alone, or | will put you
out of business" This riled the spokes-
man for the three brothers, and without
another word Otto Erickson lifted his
rifle to his shoulder and fred three shots.
Without q murmer Garrett dropped TO
the ground, not dead, but dying. In his
death struggles he appealed to Erickson
to shoot him through the head, whereup-
on the murderer remarked: "Ill do
worse than that" and taking a pocket
knife from his pocket, the tiead deliber-
ately cut the dying mans throat from ear
to ear.
The two brothers have since been ar
rested and lodged in the Butte County
Jail at Belle Fourche. They confirm the
statement of their brother. According
to their story, after life was extinct they
dragged CARROTS body to the brush,
where it remained secreted for three
days. Later it was removed to the head
of Bull Greek, two miles distant, where,
after an old gunny sack had becI wrap
ped around the blood stained and decOm-
posed form, they dug a hole and deposit
ed the remains of their victim. About
six inches of dirt covered CARROTS body
when found.
= James Garrett was a married man,
and a wife and 1-year-old baby are left
behind. He was a prominent rancher
and was always considered a straight
forward citizen. Feeling aginst his STAY
ers runs high and Sheriff Moses is tax
ing all precautions night and day for the
safety of his prisoners from violence.
