The Red Men had a small spread
after the regular meeting last Fri
day night, which was thoroughly
enjoyed by the members present.
The courses consisted of ham sand
witches, oysters and the necessary
liquids to wash them down. 1t is
the intention Of the tribe to provide
entertainments of this character
from timet to time, in order to make
the meetings move enjoyable, and
to attract palefaces to the wigwam.
VIM. Buchanan and John STAN
field, from Texarkana, arrived in
the city yesterday on a hunting ex-
petition, being attracted by the re-
ports of the variety of game that
abounds in this section. Since
Brownsville has been made a tour
lists point and the country here
about being known as a huntsman
paradise, THE HERALD feels assur-
ed that a great number of sports
men will visit the section during
the season. Mr.. Buchanan is a
lumber king of Arkansas, owning
one mill which has a capacity of
25O,O 900 feet of lumber per day,
while Mr.. Stanfeld is a prominent
sporting goods man of Texarkana.
Both of these gentlemen are per-
sonal friends of S. c. Moore, of
the Miller hotel, who will see that
they have good sport during their
stay here.
This evening about 5 O'Clock,
John McGovern, closed and locked
his store and went to the bank to
transact some business, but was
only gone short while. When he
returned some thief had opened the
door by putting his hand through
a hole in the glass and pulling the
string that works the latch at the
top. This done there was no troll
bic to push the door open which
the robbed did, and entered, tax
ing about ten or twelve dollars in
Mexican money and FIVE or six
dollars in currency There is no
clue to the perpetrator, 1t takes
a man with some nerve to robe a
store in broad day light and this
fellow evidently has it.

BIG FIRE IN
Tennessee City suffers a Loss of
$SOO,OOO.


Fire on Front Street, in the heart of
the wholesale district of Memphis Tenn,
destroyed property approximating in
value 100000.
The fire originated in the Oliver-Finnie
Grocery Company from an unknown
cause and completely destroyed the stock
and building of that firm.
A statement made by one of the larg-
est holders of policies on the stock and
building was to the effect that the losses
would not amount to more than $300,0 600
and that the Oliver-Finnie loss would be
between 100000 and 100000.
The losses of the occupants of the other
buildings will bring the total up to above
$750,000.
Frank Guffenhaugh, a fireman, was Sc
riously injured by falling from a ladder.
Six other firemen were overcome by heat
and smoke. All viii recover.

TRIAL OF POLICEMAN AULT.
Much Interest in Gregory County
Murder Case.

A term of state circuit court for Greg.
DRY County convened Wednesday at Fair
fax, with Judge e. G.. Smith, Of Yank.
ton, presiding.
The term will be of more than ordinary
interest for the reason that among the
cases to, be tried is that against A. j..
Ault, the special police officer, who in
the early days of the Rosebud registra-
ton excitement shot and killed a gambler
know as kid English at Bonesteel.
Immediately after the shooting Ault
was placed in the county Jail at Fair
fax, but owing to threats of lynching
him which were made by friends Of Eng
lish he was removed to the Charles Mix
County Jail at Wheeler for safe keeping.
A few days ago he was returned to
the Fairfax Jail, so he would be nearer
his attorneys and could better prepare
for his defense. He will be defended by
two Of the leading attorneys Of Yankton.
Sentiment is said to have switched in
favor of Ault, and many of those who at
the fine of the shooting denounced him
the most bitterly now express the hope
that he will be acquitted.

SEVEN PASSENGERS KILLED.
Serious Wreck on the Wabash Near
Pendleton, MO.

The s~outhbound Wabash passenger

Of the wreck a relief train was sent out
and the dead and more seriously injured
were taken to Moberly.
The train, which was composed of an
engine, baggage car and smoking car,

was well filed, it being estimated by Wa
bash officials that there were about 500
persons on board. The train was running
at its schedule speed when the accident
occurred.
The day coach left the track, and
breaking loose from the baggage and
smoking cars, plunged down an embank-
ment, dragging the diner with it. The
Pullman did not leave the track.
The heavy dining cs- crashed on top
Of the coach, and the majority of those
killed and injured wery~ Hassengers i'll the
latter. There was no one in the dining
car, it is stated, except the employees,
who escaped with injuries.

NO BULL FIGHTS AT THE FAIR
verne OF Missouri Says They
will Not BE Tolerated.

Following a conference with Attorney
General Crow at jefferson City, No.,
Gov. Dockery directed the sheriff and
prosecuting authorities OF st. Louis
County to stop all the bull fights which,
according to the management's ~nnounce
ments, are to be held daily hereafter un-
til the close of the Worlds Fair.
Gov. Dockery expressed surprise at
Sheriff Hencken's refusal to prevent Sun
days exhibition.
Bull fights are contrary to the law of
Missouri" said the governor, .'and under
no circumstances will they be tolerated.,
Attorney General Crow said:
Unless st. Louis authorities give
prompt and satisfactory assurances that
they will enforce the law l shall apply to
the circuit court at Clayton for an injunc-
tion to prevent the proposed bull fight

MYSTERY IN
White Man and Negro Found Dead
in East St. Louis.

BY following directions telephoned by
an unidentified man from an unknown
place, Coroner McCracken, at East st.
Louis, H., found the dead bodies of a
white man and a negro lying in the mid
die of a road, about 100 feet apart. Both
men had been shot exactly in the same
place-through the heart-and the bullet
in each instance penetrated the body,
coming out on the opposite side. From
papers found in the pocket of the white
man it is presumed that his name was
Robert Reynolds, of Cedar Rapids, la.
The negro was named George Green, and
is n striker formerly employed by the
Nelson Morris Packing Company.
The bodies were found near what is
known as the Black bridge, on the out
skirts of the city. When the coroner,
who was riding, reached the bridge, he
was met by a man who told him that
what he was looking for was about 200
feet farther on"
Before the coroner could question his
informant, the latter walked hastily away
and boarded a street car.

TO CONTINUE STRIKE
UNEXPECTED ACTION OF THE
BUTCHER WORKERS.
Proposed to Declare All Meat Un-
fair, but This Cannot be Done
without Sarction OF the Allied
Trades Conference Board.

The strikers having voted to continue
the Chicago stock yards struggle until
betters terms can be secured, their lead
ers are in a quandary as to what the
next movement shall be.
When the result OF the vote Of the
men defeating the proposition to return
to work was announced Wednesday ii
was stated by the union officials that a
second ballot would be ordered at once.
Shortly after the announcement was
made, however, the plan was abandoned
and efforts were begun to secure another
conference with the packers. In this the
strikers were unsuccessful, and then a
second -nnounceme was made that the
order issued last week placing all meat
on the unfair list would go into effect
Wednesday night. While arrangements
were being made to put this order into
effect it was suddenly discovered by
some leaders that the Allied Trades
conference board would have to give its
consent to the order before it could be
enforced, and that it would be impossi-
BILE TO put the manifesto into effect, as
the Allied Trades conference board
would not be able to arrange for a meet
ing Of its members until a later date. 1t
was then stated that the central organi-
cation would meet at IL o'clock Thursday
70 consider the question.
Following the announcement that the
s.rikers had voted to continue the strike,
a meeting attended by representatives of
all the packers was held at the offices of
the National Packing Company. What
took place at the conference is not
known, but after the meeting it was stat
ed by one of the packers that no oppor-
tunity would be given the labor leaders
to present a proposition embracing arbi-
%tration, as is being planned by the strik-
ers.
According to the packers there were no
desertions from the union when the
plants opened "Wednesday morning.
According to q statement given out this
afternoon, nearly $4,000 strikers voted to
~.ssha and for -Aa~rnt o
work.

WEEKS HAPPENINGS
NEWS OF THE WEEK IN A CON-
DENSED FORM.
Novel Scheme OF Drainage-Clay
County Farmer Uses a Tubular
WeiI-If Scheme Proves q Success
1t Will be Largely Followed.

l.. X. Solomon is trying a novel exper-
iment for the drainage of seyera, acres
of lowland on his farm in Fairyiew
Township, near Vermillion, and il sue
cessful will give to that section OF the
state something new in the way OF get
ting rid of surplus water on farms. lie
has had a tubular well put down III the
lowest spot on his land, and by piping IT
just to the top of the ground believes he
can cause the water to sink TO the UNI
derground flow 100 feet below and drain
off through the sand.
The idea is original with Mr.. Solomon
and is attracting considerable attention.
Thousands of acres of land on the bluffs
are useless each year simply because the
early spring rains leave pools of water
that remain all summer long. OF course,
ia case of overfiows on the bottom from
the Missouri River, drain pipes of this
sort would be of little value, but will
work just as well there in seasons when
only an Over-abundance Of rain has to
be contended with.
Mr.. Solomon will, in a few days, be
able to determine whether or not he has
discovered relief from sluggish water by
going to the expense Of putting down Il
tubular well.
In one or two instances farmers on the
Missouri bottoms are benefited by large
drainage bitches leading to the river,
but only a small area enjoys this relief.
The government surveyors are still ut
work at Vermillion, but will be ready in
a few days to make a report.

WHOLE TOWN TO Sc MOVED.
Cotton Must Go to the New
Railway.

1t is not often in these modern days
that a South Dakota town is moved, and
yet Frank Royce, of Garretson, has been
awarded the contract for moving one of
the smaller towns of the state to another
location. ,
The town referred to is Cotton, which
will be the midway point on the new line
of the South Dakota Central Railroad
Company, between Sioux Falls and Mad
ison, in the event that it is decided to
extend the road to the latter city. The
manner in which the line of the new road
entered Cotton made the removal of the
buildings necessary.
In all fourteen business blocks are to
be moved distances ranging from sixty to
eighty rods. The work of moving the
buildings will be commenced at once.
Among the buildings to be moved are two
farm machinery houses, two general
stores and a newspaper Office.

DAKOTANS WE'D AT FAIR.
Vermillion Couple Are Married at
the State Building. I

Two romantic weddings of interest to
South Dakotans have taken place in st.
Louis. One was the result Of the unex-
pected meeting at the South Dakota
building of Il. Frank Peterson, compiler
Of South Dakota historic atlas, and Miss
Lou Hunter, both Of Nermillion. They
had been engaged for some time. Each
came to the fair, unknown to the other,
Mr.. Peterson being absent on a business
trip when Miss Hunter decided to visit
the exposition. -,
They had planned to have their we'd
ding later in the fall, but Mr.. Peterson
persuaded Miss Hunter to have the cere-
mony performed Immediately SO they
might spend their honeymoon at the fair.
They invoked the aid of Secretary Farm
er, who acted as master Of ceremonies
and gave away the bride. The wedding
was celebrated in the beautiful hall OF
the South Dakota building, Rev. Charles
L.. Chalfant, a Presbyterian pastor, Off
ciatins. A little sister of the bride at.
tended her as flower girl.

BOY AND GIRL MISSING.
May Have Been Enticed from Hud-
son by q Crook.

The authorities of Sioux Falls and
other towns in that part of the northwest
have been advised to keep a lookout for
Hazel Miller, aged IA, and her brother,
Forest, aged 10, who mysteriously disap-
peared from their home at Hudson a few
days ago. So far as known all the money
they had in their possession at the time
of their disappearance was SO. Mrs.
Ernest Miller, the mother of the missing
boy and girl, fears they have been en-
ticed away by a one7armed crook named
Pete Peterson, who is wanted by the Of
fcials Of several towns, and who was re-
Gently in hiding in the vicinity of Hud-
son.
Peterson disappeared about the time
the boy and girl were last seen, which
leads to the belief that the three went
away together. Not the slightest trace Of
them can be found.

o r DEAD.
Fatal Fire in a New York Tene.
mept House.


Fourteen persons were killed and near
ly a score injured in a fye-story double
tenement in Attorney Street, New York,
at an early hour Sunday morning. 1t
was one Of the worst fires in the loss Of
human lives that has occurred on the east
side in several years, although the prop
erty loss was slight.
The dead include four women, one
man and nine children, ranging in age
from 3 months to II years.
Many of the injured were taken to
hospitals, and it is thought that several
of these will die. Among the injured
were five firemen who were on a fourth
floor balcony which fell with them.
The fire is supposed to have been
caused by the explosion of a lamp that
had been left to light the hall on the Sec
ond floor, and the sleeping tenants We're
not aroused until the hallway was ablaze
and escape through the building cut off
The fire was soon e~Ytinguished and
search for the dead began.
Most of the dead We're found on the
two upper floors.
While the search of the building was
going on -four firemen were at work on
a fourth floor balcony, when it gave way.
Another fireman on the balcony on the
floor below was also carried down, but
will recover Two of them fell upon a
pile of bedding in the court yard, and
their injuries were caused chiefly by the
iron work Of the balcony falling upon
them.
