NAN PATTERSON CASE
STATE SECURES A FURTHER
PoSTPoNGMENI.
Young Woman Was In Court and
Ready TO Plead to Charge OF Con-
spiracy with Morgan Smith and
Her Sister.

Nan Patterson was brought into the
court Of general sessions at New York
Thursday by her own consent to plead
to a charge of conspiracy to get money
from Caesar Young, the bookmnker. She
is accused OF having conspired with j..
Morgan Smith and his wife, Miss Pat
~terson's sister, to extort money from the
dead ~bookmaker.
She was not allowed to plead to the
charge, however, as Assistant District
Attorney Rand asked Judge Foster that
she be not arraigned, holding that it was
unnecessary.
Miss Patterson's counsel requested per-
mission TO examine the minutes Of the
grand jury which indicted her. This was
opposed by Mr.. Rand, who asked for a
delay Of one day in order that Miss Pat
terson night be arraigned in company
with J. Morgan Smith and Mrs. Smith.
Although Miss Patterson's counsel vigor-
ously objected to the delay the court or
dered that her plea TO the charge be put
over until Friday. She will be placed on
trial again next Monday on the charge
of having murdered Young.
Counsel for j. Morgan Smith and his
wife asked the court to order the dis
trict attorney to return the letters con.
iscated from the Smiths in Cincinnati,
The lawyer declared that Mr.. Rand had
no right to them. Before deciding the
question the court decided thai
formal notice be given to the distric
attorney. After the court proceedings
Mr.. Rand asked the Smiths counsel to
allow them to come to the district at.
torney's office and be questioned. The
lawyer reserved his answer.
Ii is said Mr.. Rand is e~ndeavoring to
learn who, If anyone, assisted the Smiths
in their fight from New York after the
death of Caesar Young last June.

MUST SERVE HIS TIME.
Lyman County Man Burned Editor
Senn's Buildings.

The closing chapter in n sensational
frontier episode is the lodging in the
Sioux Falls penitentiary of Earl l.. King,
of Lyman County, for arson in the third
degree.
King, who is the son of prominent res
idents of Charles Mix County, was impli-
Gated in the burning of some buildings
belonging to Editor f.. l.. Sem, of the
Ions Settler. The incendiarism was due
to the aggressive fight waged by the
editor against the cattle "rustlers' who
for years operated in parts of Lyman
County.
The buildings were fired and destroyed
in Il spirit of revenge. King had been
at liberty some time on Il writ of error,
but the state supreme court sustained the
lower court and he was returned to the
penitentiary to serve his time.

MAN uNOER THE BED.
Discovery Made by a Deadwood
Woman and Her Husband.

The unexpected sometimes happens,
even to burglars. 1t was so with Evan
Van Zant, who Sunday night got into
the house and crawled under the bed of
Mr.. and Mrs. William Thomas, of
Deadwood. Upon their retiring at about
9:30 O'clock the bed springs We're pressed
so far down that the would-be burglar
was imprisoned and unable to move
without moving the bed, which soon
caused his undoing.
About 10 o'clock Mrs. Thomas was
awakened by a noise which she supposed
to be that of their dog moving about
under the bed. She awakened her hus-
band, who, taking a whip, tried to drive
the dog out, but, seeing a mans foot, he
got up, and still talking about the dog,
lighted a lamp, got his s~ix-shooter and
then ordered the young man to come
forth. He kept him in front of the re-
volved until the police were called and
the young man lodged in Jail.

NOTHING TO ARBlTRATE.
small Signs OF Peace in Big Chr
cago Strike.

Offering to arbitrate everything in con-
nection with the Montgomery Ward
strike at Chicago with the exception or
the Garment Workers grievance, a com
mitee Of the Commercial Exchange, an
organization of Chicago employers, dead
locked with representatives of the Chi
cago Federation of Labor and the joint
teamsters' unions at the Grand Pacific
Hotel Tuesday afternoon. The meet
ing adjourned with 40 peace in sight.
The union labor committee, fresh
from a conference with Mayor Dunno,
set forth emphatically that the team
sters were out in sympathy with the gar
ment workers, and that if the grievances
of the garment workers were not to be
considered there was nothing to arbi-
trate.
1t was charged that the Wholesale
Tailor Manufacturers Association had
entered into a conspiracy to bring back
former sweatshop conditions among the
garment workers, and that the conspira-
cy had been successful in New York,
Rochester and Philadelphia, and was be-
ing pushed in Chicago.
Another conference will be held. Meth
er side appeared hopeful Of results max
ing for peace.
y committee representing the team
sters and the Federation of Labor called
upon Mayor Dunno Tuesday and made
formal protest against the closing of
streets to union transfers and protested
against what they termed the brutality
of the police.
The mayor assured them the union
teamsters would have the same privilege
of the streets as anyone else as long as
they preserved the peace. He told the
committee he would sit as arbitrator on
condition that the members Of the union
were law-abiding and peaceable in the
strike. He said he would enforce law
and order before he did anything else in
the matter.
The committee informed the mayor
both the teamsters and garment makers
were anxious to submit their case to ar.
bitration.
Chairman Geiger, of the state board OF
arbitration, called upon Manager X. j.
Thorne, of the firm of Montgomery
Ward IL Co., Tuesday and made a for.
mai tender Of the good Offices of the
board to arbitrate the strike.
Thorne replied that so many interests
had become involved in the controversy
that the matter is beyond the control Of
his firm.

o IN ACCOUNTS.
Allegations Against Retiring Audi
tor of Brute County.

1t is alleged that the retiring county
auditor of Brule County, James YarOsh,
is short in his accounts about 1900,
and the amount may go much higher.
The shortage, it is alleged, is due to the
fact that warrants that had been allowed
by the county board to nOn-residents,
principally blank houses, were disposed
of by Yarosh, who failed to forward
drafts to the claimants for several
amounts. Yarosh has left Chamberlain
for parts unknown, but it is said his
relatives are taking steps to settle his
deficiency.
