FRANCO-vENEzUELA CRISIS.
Situation is Regarded as Acute and
Action May Be Taken at Once.

Paris, October 13.-For the first
time since the trouble with Venezuela
arose the situation is regarded as
acute. President Castro's persistence
in refusing to recognize the French
representative at Caracas has ex-
hausted the patience of the French
government, which still insists that
apologies shall be offered to Mr..
Taigny, while the French Gable Com
pany refuse to deal directly with Cas-
tro. The feeling is predominant-in
official circles that the time mas come
for action against Venezuela with or
without the cooperation of the United
States.
The fact that the United States did
not interfere in the Anglo-German
demonstrations against Venezuela and
the attitude recently assumed by that
government toward NJ. Jusserand, the
French ambassador in the United
States is regarded as practical guar
antee for the government to act with
out fear Of becoming involved in COM
plications with the American govern
nent.

Redtield one, Mitchell two, Huron
one, Watertown two, Yankton one.

filled with the Black Hills delegation.

no difficulty in filling it for the trip,

be picked up en- route. The Water

1t was only a few days ago that
Frank Travis was able to make any
tinin5 of a correct list of the property
that was stolen from his second hand
store on Sunday, Aug. ID. He furn-
ished the list to Sheriff Cook, who
immediately sent out a description
of the goods to points surrounding
Mitchell. Friday afternoon the
Sheriff got track of the goods and
robbers by receiving information from
Sheriff Webber. Of Woonsocket, and
the marshal of Wolsey, both OF whom
informed him that such goods had
been sold at those places during the
week by three tramps. At Wolsey
the parties were arrested, and gave
the names OF John Lowery, e. G.
Baker and George Nicefeld. They
were brought to Mitchell on the
freight Friday evening, accompanied
by the Wolsey marshal, and Sheriff
Weber, III. j. Hobart and one on
two other parties came down this
morning to appear as witnesses.
The trio was taken before Justice
Mckinley Saturday afternoon for

Attorney Spangler explained to them
their rights in the case before the
justice court. One of the trio want
ed to know what larceny was and the
penalty, as he claimed that they did
not steal the goods but found them.
The men finally agreed to waive ex-
amination, and. they we're bound over

(From Fridays Daily
Agent George received the inform
alton today for the new passenger
train service that is to be established
Monday morning between Mitchell
and Sioux Falls and Sioux City. The
service is established, so the officials
state. because of the increased pas
senger service and the large amount
of cream traffic that is handled by
the passenger trains. The following
is the schedule OF the new trains:
Train No. l02 will leave Sioux

Train No. 1871 will .leave Sioux
Falls at 1915 a. M, five minutes
later than now.
So long as this service has been es-
tablished there is one thing the COM
mercial committee ought to take up
with the Milwaukee company with
reference to the arrival OF the new
train from the east in the evening.
BY the present time card OF the COM
pany this train starts from the east,
either LACROSSE or "A SUN, Mlnn.,
and reaches Sioux Falls at $40 p. M.
1t is TO be held at Sioux Falls until
$40 p m. and then sent on to Mitch
ell, reaching here at 1876. We can
not see any good reason for bringing
that train IN here at that time of
night just TO benefit Sioux Falls a
little. Without stopping AT Sioux
Falls as long it could be brought to
Mitchell and arrive at 7:l5 and give
people east of here a whole evening
to do business. attend the corn pal
ace or attend a good theatrical pro-
%duction. BY tax ing this up with
the company at once there is a pos
sibility of securing the change.
