Four Policemen and a Dozen Gamblers
Arc Shot at Bonesteel, S. D.-A Train-
load of the Latter Deported to Kan
sas - Blood Marks the Pathway OF
Confict-Lawlessness Finally Checked
Bonesteel, S. D.-Four special po-
licemen and twelve gamblers were
shot here in an all night battle between
$50 grafters and criminals on the n
side and the decent element on the
other. The elimination of a long series
of sensational events came with the
deportation of a trainload of the worst
characters which had gathered from
all parts of the country. Nearly U
men of this stripe were loaded into
freight cars and taken from the town.
They were dumped into Nebraska, sew
enty-fve miles away.
State troops are being modified at
several points, according to kilograms
from the Lieutenant-Goyernor of the
State, and several companies will soon
reach Bonesteel to protect the people
during the drawing and filing Of lands.
. Open warfare began when two graft
ers were arrested for beating and rob-
bling a landseeker in open daylight. 1t
required the entire police force to Jail
them, and then q confederate confront
ed the officers and demanded their re-
lease in five minutes or the whole town
would be burned and every man killed.
Before five minutes passed the Jail
doors were thrown open and fourscore
crooks bore the two men triumphantly
down the street. Police officers were
disarmed and a reign of lawlessness
followed. Men were beaten and robbed
without ceremony.
In one instance a Kansan asked his
change at a gaming table. 1t was re-
fused. The gambler covered him with
a gun. The Kansan contrived to get
the drop on him, and thus they stood,
%revolvers pointing at each others
hearts. Then the gambler laid down.
The other put up his gun and at once
Il gang Of crooks pounced upon him
and beat him brutally. Chief of Police
O'Brien looked on without stirring.
The Town Board notified Patsy
Magner, of Sioux City, and Tom STAN
ton, of Omaha, concessionaires, that If
the grafters did not stop, every citizen
would be armed and ordered to shoot
them as fast as they could be found.
Magner and Stanton controlled the
situation fairly well until Stanbro and
Harrison, policemen, were assaulted
before the Pike saloon, and the shoot
ing began. Both were wounded.
Magner was shot shortly after, as was
Merriville. Then 100 special police
were called for.
Hardware stores were stripped Of
their weapons. The army of volun-
teers, helped by the better gamblers,
began driving out the grafters like rab-
bits chased from bushes. When pos
sible, they were arrested, but many
fell back until out of the town limits.
Then the g~rafters, Infatuated by their
defeat, turned upon their pursuers.
They charged, a hundred strong. They
had only revolvers, and were soon
swept back by volleys from shotguns
and rifles of the police. One after an
other they were carried away, and
blood trails marked the courses taken.
After over 200 shots were fired they
were completely routed and the special
police turned back with the forty-five
prisoners whom their fellows had tried
unSucceSSfully to rescue,

STRIKERS BLOW UP STREET CAR
Five Hurt in Houston, Texas-This
the Fifth Outrage.

Five Hurt in Houston, Texas-This
the Fifth Outrage.
New Orleans, La. - Another street
car has been blown up at Houston,
Texas, by dynamite. This is the fifth
and most serious since the strike of
the street car operatives began. The
explosion occurred at midnight.
The force of the explosion was chiefly
felt on the e of the car, Which was
crowded with passengers, five of whom
were injured by the flying glass and
splinters.
Among the injured is Mrs. G. B.
Quailes, who was returning home from
an entertainment with her husband.
The explosion seemed to occur directly
under the seat upon which she was sit
ting.
A. J. Smith, another passenger, was
badly cut about the head and inter.
nally injured. In the previous explo-
sions the wounds inflicted were In ali
except one instance slight, and the dy-
namiters this time seem to have mis-
calculated the quantity of dynamite
they used.
Two heavy charges OF dynamite
We're found on the car tracks, where
they had been put during the night,
but had failed to explode. The citi-
Zens' alliance movement which has
been fighting the strike is very strong.
1t is proposed to organize a law and or
der league as an adjunct of the al
lance to deal with the dynamiters.

Bread.

Freshly made bread is more indi-
gestible than stale bread because it is
more moist and becomes more solid in
the mouth; hence becomes more i'm
penetrable to the saliva and the gastric
juices. For the anne reason bread
crust is more digestible than what is
beneath it, being drier. Bread may
be unfit for S from being made Of
adulterated OF too-old flour, by turning
sour or developing a bitter taste from
the yeast, from getting mouldy and
from insufficient fermentation in the
rising process, which leaves it too
heavy for the digestive fluids to act
well upon.

Seek Tobacco Tax Rebate.

The State Department, through Am.
bassador Choate, has made represen.
tations to the British Government
looking to a modification of the regu.
lations regarding the recent increase
in duty on stripped tobacco so as to
permit a rebate of the defferential on
tobacco in British bonded warehouses
when the extra tax became effective.
Large quantities of that tobacco are
owned by American shippers, and as
the increase amounts to fifty per cent.
Of it's value, the effect, they urge, is
practical confiscation, and they desire
a rebate on the unsold stock equal to
the amount of the extra duty.

Thoroughly Beaten, General Kouropatkin
Gives Orders to Retire From New
chwang-Japanese Not Yet in the City
-Russians Going to Haichens-Their
Army Numbered 10000 Men.
London, England.-Severa dispatches
confirm the, reports of the defeat of
the Russians at Tashichao, but none
Of them is official, and many are vi
tiated as coming from Chinese sources.
The most reliable message seems to be
n to the Telegraph from Liaoyang,
which must have been passed by the
Russian censor. 1t says:
"Tashichao has been definitely eyac-
uated. A severe engagement has been
fought, apparently with the object Of
holding back a Japanese flank move
ment on Liaoyang."
According to reports from New
chwang, Shanghai and Tientsin there
had been fighting daily, eliminating
in a Russian rout.
The Russians resumed operations, at
lacking the japanese position on the
heights east of Tashichao. Several
Russian batteries checked the advance
Of the Japanese left flank from Tap
ingshan for some hours, but the Jap
anese eventually, after a fierce fight,
captured the village of Nanghudituen,
two miles from Tapingshan, COMPEL
ing the Russians to retire to Tieng-
huaituen, six miles from their base.
They were then reinforced and re-
opened fire with two batteries, main
tanning their position until 5 o'clock
in the afternoon, when the Japanese
right flank suddenly appeared on the
hills southeast of Tashichao and by a
tremendous fire compelled the Rus
slams to retreat hurriedly.
An hour later the Japanese firing
line extended for fifteen miles. Its in
cessant storm of shot and shell swept
the plain clear Of the Russians, whose
position at Tashichao became untena-
BILE.
The Russians numbered 10000. They
resisted desperately for fourteen hours.
General Kouropatkin had ordered
them to hold their ground at all costs,
and it was only when the last hope
was gone that he sent urgent orders
for the evacuation of Newchwang.
The heat throughout the day was in
tense. The country is of the most diff
fcult nature
