Patrick O'Connor a Section
Man Mistook 1t for a
Bottle OF Liquor.
DIED in a FEW MINUTES
Safe Blowing Had Been Attempted Re.
Gently a Number of Times and It Is
Presumed the Dangerous Stuff
Had Been Forgotten.

Hill City, s. D., March 14.-Patrick
O'Connor, a Burlington section man, is
dead as a result of drinking a quantity
Of nitro-glycerin, supposing it was
whisky. A bottle containing the liquid
explosive had been left by burglars In
the rear of Robert McNish's saloon,
after blowing the safe. O'Connor, who
was intoxicated at the time, swallowed
part Of the liquid, walked out Of the sa-
loon and sat on the steps, where he died
q few minutes later. Those who first
discovered the partially filled bottle did
not know it's contents. 1t was yellow
lsh In color and without odor, and was
thought to be whisky. A c%oroner's in
quest was held over the remains of
O'Connor.
The safe in the saloon had been blown
twice apparently, without enabling the
burglars to reach its interior, although
a few minutes more would have deliv-
cred to them several hundred dollars
In money and a quantity Of jewelry de-
posted there. They contented them
selves with rif1ing the cash register,
from which they obtained $50 in cur
rency and change. No arrests have
been made, n the officers have but
small clue on which to work.

Although not SO very aged Che ia
only 10, Edward Atkinson. the not
ed anti-imperialist, antt-expansionist,
economist and inventor, is SO feeble
that he car no longer write with q pen,
but uses q rubber stamp In signing his
name. This is done even on checks
OF small or large amount AS such a
signature is not legal, Mr. Atkinson
renders 1t SO by attesting it according
TO the Bertillon system. He inks the
ball of his thumb on a pad and leaves
the imprint on the check, as much as
to say: Edward Atkinson, his thumb"
Bank cashiers In Boston and elsewhere
have become familiar with the hair
lines of the Atkinson thumb, and a
piece Of paper bearing 1t is as good as
legal tender.

Warm Munici-.l Fiaht,

Canton. S. D., March i5.-There is go
ing to be war again this spring in the
municipal election in this city, and 1t
will be between the temperance ele-
ment and the advocates of the saloon.
The city has been without saloons for
twenty years.. but the liquor men de-
clare by all the good and holy hat they
ave perfect assurance that they can
carry the election. The Temperance
people have formed a thorough organi-
cation that will cooperate with the
ministerial association to fight the
proposition to the bitter end. While
there have been some hot times In
Canton over this question in former
years the indications now are that the
coming election will be the hottest that
has ever been held here.

Epoch. Makinn Decision.

The decision handed down today In
the Northern Securities case Will be
regarded as an e~poch-makins me. 1t
will be assumed in the absence of de-
tailed reports that it Is calculated to
Knock out the entire holding company
plan of merging competing interests, at
least when merged concerns are COM
peting. This raises a large question in
voiving many othe: concerns than the
Northern Securities. Thus the Penn
sylvania railroad Is Il holding company.
Whether 1t is to be affected by the de-
cision IS yet to be seen.
In any event the decision is a great
victory for the government, sustaining
in a broad way the Sherman act and
preserving the rights claimed by the
to prevent combinations in
restraint of trade.
The Northern Securities company
was organized in November, 1901, in
New Jersey. 1t was empowered to &C
quire and hold stock and securities OF
railroads and other corporations.
Controlled Three Roads.
Previous to its organization the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
roads had bought control OF the Bur
ltngton system. which they held Jointly.
The securities company. with $780,
600, 900 authorized capital, was intended
to take control of the Northern Pa
ciic and Great Northern. 1t issued Its
stock In exchange tor the shares CT
those companies. giving $3.50 In its
stock for each $ltO of Great Northern
preferred and Sll5 for each 500 Of
Northern Pacific common.
1t was stated by the securities com-
pany management that the properties
controlled by it were not to be merged
and that competition would not be in
tcrfered With. But these promises
We're not accepted in Minnesota and
other states concerned, and In January,
1902 the state of Minnesota
through It's attorney general applied to
the supreme court OF the United States
for an injunction to prevent the Sc
c~urities company acquiring the secur-
tiles of the two roads involved, on the
ground that il constituted an infrac-
ton of the laws of Minnesota forbid
ding merging of parallel and compet-
ing railroads, and was contrary to the
agreement between the companies and
the state under which tho state had

for lack of jurisdiction.
Then the attorney general of the
United States brought In the circuit

today decided, to test the legality of
the ~company's formation under the
Sherman antitrust law. The circuit
court decided against the company, and
an appeal was at once taken to the

Using Dangerous Weapon.
Sioux Falls, S. D., March 15.-Assault
With a dangerous weapon is the charge
which has been preferred against
Hardy Hughey, a prominent farmer liv-
ing neal Humboldt, this county, who is
at present occupying a cell in the coun-
W Jail in this city. 1t Is said that had
It not. been for the fact that Hughey's
victim wore unusually heavy clothing
the charge against him would have
been murder or manslaughter. Hughey
and the Teghtmeyer brothers had a
dispute over a rented farm. This re-
suited in a pitched battle between the
brothers and Hughey and two CON-
panions. During the encounter Hughey
struck n Of the brothers in the face
with a heavy rock, splitting the check
bone. At this juncture an employee
of the brothers took a hand in the Dat
tie. When Hughey is alleged to have
plunged a knife into his abdomen. The
heavy clothing worn by Pease is be-
.ieved to have saved his life. Hughey
has been held f.. appearance ct the
next term Of state circuit court, and in
Default of bonds was lodged in the
ounty Jail.
