Old FAMILIAR TALE
War in the Balkans Promised
Once More When the
Springtime Comes

London, Jan. 1O.-The active prep
arations already reported to have been
made both in Turkey and Bulgaria for
possible war this year are fully con-
frmed by private letter received in
London from a minister accredited to
the Balkan courts. This minister, who
has just completed a tour Of the Bal
kan capitals, writes that the Turkish
and Bulgarian governments are ener-
getically preparing for eventualities.
Large shipments of arms and ammuni-
ton have been made and recruits from
Asia Minor are arriving at Salonica
weekly for service in the Turkish
army. The Bulgarian and Greek bands
In Macedonia are increasing daily and
are fighting each other and the Turks.
This three-cornered guerrilla warfare
threatens to assume the bloodiest
phase in the spring.
"But,' concludes 4 the minister,
whether or not there will be real war
between Turkey and Bulgaria in the
spring am not prophet enough to say
Unless certain powers think the time
Is opportune war may be postponed
this year as last, but in any event we
are a year nearer the inevitable con
Mct.''

serious effort at destruction Of the
statue, but after careful inyestiga-

Twenty-three cyanide and stamp

by the different mining companies in
the Black Hills. The year was one of
the most successful in the history OF
the Black Hills. The cyaniding OF
the low grade ores received especial
attention and great Improvements
We're made. 1t is estimated that $1O,-
100000 were invested in new mining
enterprises. including the development
OF new and old mines, the purchasing
of new properties and the erection of
new mills. The foundation is now
laid for an increase of almost double
the output of gold in the Black Hills
during the next twelve months.

Of DR.. Gebhardt

New u1m, Minn., Jan. 11.-Startling
testimony was introduced during the.
morning in the trial of DR.. George r..
Koch, charged with the murder Of DR..
L. A. Gebhardt. Ole Ulen, q farmer
of Hanska, testified that in June or
July, 1903, he went to DR.. Koch to have
tooth pulled. He said:
II told DR.. Koch that DIR. Gebhardt
had pulled one tooth for me. He asked
why I had gone to DR.. Gebhardt and I
told him that Hoidale's clerk had sd
vised me to go there.
"Koch said, 'Gebhardt is NO better
than the rest of us. Anyway he won't
be with us very long. Some one will
kill him.
"He then asked If / would or could
kill DR.. Gebhardt. don't remember
whether he used the word would or
could
II said wouldn't do it II II would
get the whole Of New Ulm or the whole
United States. He said it wasn't
worth that much. said the man who
would do that would be punished. He
said, Nobody could find that OUT"
The prosecution Tuesday argued
against it being compelled to call to
the stand Asa P. Brooks, the only man
who is said to have distinctly seen the
slayer of Gebhard. Judge Weber will
decide the point Wednesday. If he
rules the state must call Books 1t will
be a victory for the defense, as the
state cannot cross-examine its own wit
ness.

COMPETE WITH OCTOPUS
Independent Oil Company Ready
for Business in S. D.


Last week it was stated editorially
in the American that the Penn Oil Com
pany would not establish a branch
in Sioux Falls, owing to inability to
to obtain side track facilities. Chas.
w. Ralph, local manager Of this COM
pany at Minneapolis, writes that the
fact is that the branch will be estab-
lished at Sioux Falls, although much
difficulty has been experienced in se-
curing side tracks, although the COM
pany has stood ready to pay all expen-
ses of construction. After several
months delay an appeal was made to
the State Railroad Commission and ii
is now settled that the railway com
pany, the Illinois Central, will com
plete the siding immsd sdiately.
It is quite apparent the sinister in
fuence Of the big monopoly, that
dumps its vilest kerosene into this
state, will obstruct as far MS possible
the establishment Of a rival in the
state. It is said the Penn company
may IN time give Brown county people
the benefit Of competition in the sale ot
oil, and that land for siding facilities
has already been secured.
