Sheriff Koch Returned From Canton
With the Two Men Wednes-
day Afternoon.
day Afternoon.

Sheriff Koch returned Wednesday
afternoon on the delayed Milwaukee
from Canton, where he secured the
two men who were wanted for the
stealing of horses in this city Satur-
day night. Ed Jay accompanied the
sheriff to identi fy the teams and one
team proved to belong to him. The
sheriff manacled his two men to-
gether and then put the handouts
on himself and connected one OF the
robbers with the irons. The sheriff
said il the fellows attempted to get
away they would have tc take him
also.
: After they had been placed in Jail
the men gave their names as Martin
Sargott and Carl Woods. The men
have been around Mitchell for a
month or more earning a living at
odd jobs.
The teams belonged to Ed Jay and
Charles Robdell, and they hitched
them at the corner of Gosche's hard
ware tor The thieves each took a
team and started off in a southeast
erly direction, and about 3 miles out
OF town they had an accident that
caused them some trouble. The fel.
low driving Robdell's team got off
the road and ran Unto a telephone
pole, demolishing the buggy. At
that time n of John p. C~arlson's
boys drove along and seeing the
trouble stopped and made some in
aui ries, but got little information.
The thieves left the broken buggy
and hitching the team behind their
buggy started on their journey.
When Sheriff Koch reached Canton
Robdell's team was TOT with them
and they declared they did not know
what had become OF it. The sheriff
found in Jays buggy some OF the
goods that belonged to Robdell.
The examination Of the two men
will be held tomorrow morning at 9
O'Clock.

HAS BIG PLAN AHEAD
1t is said That 100000 is the
Amount-Line to be Built
West From Chamberlain.

Cedar RapiGs, Iowa, Gazette: The
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul rail-
road company will shortly announce
a further issue Of 500, 0OO, 900 OF COM
mon stock, to be pro rated among
common stock holders at par in pro-
portion to their present holdings.
This announcement is made on the
authority OF people who are in pos
session to nave and who have recent.
ly secured information directly from
the highest officials of the system.
There is the most excellent reason
for believing that the statement is
true.
Recently a remarkable rise in Mil
waukee quotations has been noted on
the stock exchanges. The reason is
now explained. The new issue is to
be issued at par to present holders in
AS Milwaukee has long been far
above par, insiders have been anx-
ious to increase their holdings in Or
der to entitle them to a larger share
in the new issue. Milwaukee shares
are now worth about sl56, which
means a comfortable premium to
those who get a PROPORTION Of the
new issue.
In this connection, and from the
same authority which is responsible
for The foregoing statement, it is
announced that one of the purposes
of the expansion OF the stock issues
is to raise money for building a line
from Chamberlain west. This, it is
now said, has been positively decided
on. 1t is hot a feature OF the South
Dakota campaign, but part in a plan
long under contemplation.

like $25, 900 600 in its treasury. With
another $40, O00, 200 realized from a
new stock issue it would he able
either TO take over the Northern Pa
ciic control, as has been persistently
rumored, or to bui'd the coast line
with which report has been so busy
for many months past. Which plan,
or whether either of them, is in the
hands OF the managers of the system
is not announced. But the state,
ment that the Chamberlain line is
to be built west with as little delay
as possible is made without reserva-
ton.

PltRRt'S BANK DEPOSITS
Not The greatest in This Country
tor a Iown of Its Size--Are
Many Others.


Many Others.
One OF the Pierre campaign argu-
ments for capital is that the banks
of Pierre carry more deposits than
any other town of its size in the
United States. This is on a IA
with many of its other statements
and can easily be refuted. On June
30, 1901. Pierre claimed Il population
of 5000 and on the same date her
bank deposits in three banks
amounted to 1850, 900.
Oilicial American Bank Reporter,
by J. Z. kildutf, Burns Auxiliary
Banking System, New York. shows a
few other towns that do a little
banking business. as follows:
Branwell Bank. of BfamWell, w.
Va. situated i'm IA coal district, with
a population of 800. has a deposit
of ST 200, 600. Leeshurg, Va, popula-
ton 500, i'm the center Of a purely
agricultural district, has two banks
with a total deposit of 81, $50. 900.
Being d government report its au-
thenticity car not be questioned.
The Reporter also shows u number of
other banks. with less population
than Pierre, having much larger de-
poslts. 1t should be understood, too,
that at least 5000, 900 OF the deposits
carried in the Pierre banks is state
money.
Without any state money to in
cease her banks Mitchell is still
ahead of Pierre. One bank c~arries.a
deposit OF $500, 600 another has $780,
600 and a third has 80, o00, and
within "A short time = fourth bank
will be established with a large de-
posit. The bank deposits in this
city June 30, 1904, amounted to

In the Discharge of Duty.

Policeman Dan. G. Sanford shot
and killed Boss Bassett, a negro
at 4:2O Wednesday afternoon in front
of Goza's market on Lemon street.
Bassett and another cOlored man,
jeff Brady, were engaged in an al
tercation in front of Smiths bar
when Policeman Sanford alighted
from the street car At first San
ford thought the men were fooling,
but he saw Bassett strike Brady and
curse him, and then he knew there
was a row on. Brady broke away
from Bassett and ran down Lemon
street, with Bassett at his heels.
The policeman followed and saw
Bassett pull knife. Then Sanford
called out, Don't cut that man.
But Bassett continued in keen pur-
suit, gaining on Brady all the time,
catching up with him in front of
Goza's market and plunging his
knife into his victims back Brady
fell and Bassett got on top of him
and was preparing to plunge his
knife into Brady a second time
when Sanford, with pistol in hand
interfered. Bassett then turned and
threatened to knife Sanford, but the
latter was too quick. He shot Bias
sett through the body, killing MIN
almost instantly.
Sanford then took Brady in a hack
to DR.. Steen, who dressed his
wounds. He now is at his home and
in a critical condition. The knife,
an ugly looking affair with a foul
inch blade, had penetrated his lung
Sanford reported the matter and
surrendered to Sheriff Howell.
A coroner's inquest has eXOnor-
ated Policeman Sanford, the evi,
dence of all witnesses showing that
fBassett resisted arrest and that his
death or that of the peace officer
must result.
Bassett was a freight train brea K
man on the Atlantic Coast Line
| Railway.

BURNED TO A CRISP.
Lucinda Cilliard, Colored, Roasted
Alive in Her House Tuesday
Morning.

Lucinda Gilliard, colored woman
living alone on Peck street just be-
yond the ball park, was burned to
death last Tuesday morning at an
early hour.
A coronor's jury to-day will do its
best to determine whether the wo-
mans death was due to accidental
burning, suicide, or murder by an
incendiary
The alarm of fire sounded between
four and five O'Clock and the fire de-
partment rushed to the rescue. On
arrival the fireman heard the wo-
man S screams but as the house was
developed in fiercely burning flames
it was impossible to attempt rescue
After the flames had been subdued
the body of the woman, roasted be-
yond recognition, was found on a
pile of straw, the remnants of her
bed,
The woman lived alone and had
been i'll several days.
Suicide and inceudiarism have
been suggested as causes of the fire,
but the generally accepted theory is
that the fire was accidental and re-
suited from the turning over, or eX-
| pIosion, of an oil lamp.

a Question of "Booze. ;,

Petitions have been in circulation
throughout the city and county dur
ing the past ten days asking the
county commissioners to call IA local
option election in order to give cleo
tors an opportunity to express them
selves on the question of whether
the county shall continue to license
liquor selling, or prohibit it.
The petitions have been quite gen
orally signed in the country pre-
cincts, as well as in this city.
The initiative in this agitation
was taken last summer by IA Baptist
association in the western part Of the
county, and petitions were at that
time prepared and all arrangements
made for bringing about the election.
The matter was held in allegiance on
account of the general election, but
the agitation has gone on.
The constitution of Florida, Arti-
Gle XIN, Sec. /, provides that the
board of county commissioners of
each county in the state, not oftener
than once in every two years, upon
the application of one-fourth OF the
registered voters of any county, shall
call and provide for an election in
the county in which application is
made, to decide whittier the sale of
Intoxicating liquors, wines or beer
shall be prohibited therein, the
question to be determined by ma
iority vote of those voting at the
election called under this section,
which election shall be conducted
in the manner prescribed by law fol
holding general elections
The constitution further provides
that such election shall be held
within sixty days from the time OF
presenting SAID application.
The circulation of these petitions
in Palatka has been the occasion OF
considerable street discussion. Very
many leading business men have re.
fused, point blank, to sign. Others
while regretting the turmoil which
must inevitably accompany the agita
ton, and that, too, SO soon after a
two years political contest, never
theless, seeing that the question will
not down, have signed in order to
bring about speedy settlement
They also recognize the fact that the
people have the right, under the
constitution, to secure Il public eX-
preston Oh the subject. Many
others, and perhaps Il large majority,
are signing because of firmly ground
ed conviction that the legalized Ii
Quor traffic is a public nuisance and
burden that should be removed.
The street discussions have devel-
Oped many theories of liquor legis-
lation, but as matter Of fact, if the
election is held, voters will be pinned
down to two-prohibltion or license.
The News will not discuss the
matter until the election has been
called. Then it will express its
opinion freely and frankly.
