from instant death near his home in
Goshen. He had been to the woods and
was returning with heavy load of logs,
when the load was tipped over, and he
was pinned down by the logs. AS he
was alone and out of sight of the house,
it was more than an hour and half be-
fore he was released. His son finally
heard his call for help, but could not
release him alone, and went to the
nearest neighbor for assistance. Mr..
Trombly had to be carried home and

HYDE FROM POWER
Policyholders Will Bring Federal

Cain First Round.
New York Sun Special Service.


New York, March 17.-Should the di-
rectors behind James Hazen HYDE in the
fight in the Equitable Insurance Society
prove numerous enough at next Thurs
days meeting Of the board to delay
the naturalization of the company for
four years, the Crimmins committee of
policyholders will at once take a hand
in the fight along broader lines than
legislation at Albany. .. 49,. .-. a
The plan is to have a policyholder
living in another state bring suit in the
United States courts. This will enable
counsel for the plaintiff to ask for the

pany, get at the bottom Of matters in

GOVERNOR AGAIN,
But WOULD QUIT
Now that Adams Is Ousted, the
Colorado Executive Is
Weary. a.,
BUT IF LEADERS so
DEMAND, HE STICKS
His Own Preference, He Says, Is
to Give Mcdonald the
Job.

Denver, Col, March 17.-Alva Adams
was unseated and James H. Peabody
was given the office of governor of Col
orado by the legislature in joint ses-
sion late yesterday afternoon.
The Denver Republican, which has
been consistent supporter of Governor
Peabody thruout his political career, to-
day says he has determined to resign
the governorship. 1t says:
"Today a conference will be held
which will be attended by the leading
republicans of the state and Governor
Peabody will leave the matter with
them. If he consulted his own desires
he would step aside before the week
ends. However, he made no pledges that
terest of the state or the republican
party to hold him there. Chairman D.
B. Farley of the republican state cen
trail committee is opposed to the gov.
ernor's resigning.'
'In Hands of Leaders,"
Lieutenant Governor Mcdonald is
quoted as saying:
81 am in the hands of the leaders
of the republican party. l have no per
sonal knowledge that Governor Pea
body is going to resign. I have not
been consulted. I can say that if be-
come governor that / will assume the
office without being pledged to any one
or any faction.'
The change in the governorship came
after two months of bitter contest. AL
tho there was plenty Of suppressed ex
citement and intense bitterness at the
state house an encounter between Gov
ernor Peabody and Governor Adams
private secretary is the only ono re
corded. The galleries held scores Of
gun men brought in from outside coun
ties by the Peabody crowd in anticipa
ton Of some overt act by the Denve
adherents of Adams; but the day passet
without trouble of any kind till Gov
ernor Peabody walked into the execu
tive chambers. Adams had vacated al
hour before and left his private secre
tary, Alfred Patek, in charge. Whel
Peabody extended his hand to shak,
with Patek, the latter drew back ant
made an insulting remark concerning
the new executive. He was pouncec
upon by Colonel Gross of the state
militia, but before any damage coulG
be done Adjutant General Sherman M
Bell pulled the men apart. Peabody
walked quickly into the inside office
Patek and Gross subsidized and the Incl
dent which otherwise might have caused

LAURIER YIELDS
ON SCHOOL ISSUE
New Educational Clause Framed
at Ottawa to Meet the Pop
ular View.

Ottawa, Ont, March l7.-The north
west school question has been settled.
An educational clause has been framed
to meet the views Of nearly all the lib
erals in the house. 1t perpetuates the
schools as they are today.
The effect of the educational clause in
the provisions for autonomy of the north
west territories Of Alaska, Saskatchewan
and Asstnlbota was practically to endoN'
separate schools for Catholics in the
northwest, Premier Lourier and several
members of his cabinet belonging to that
church.
The clause. as might be supposed,
set the pra1ries af1re, metaphorically
speakingCHfford Sifton, minister Of the
interior, resigned, it is asserted, because
Of 1t, and the premier was also confronted
with a prospect Of losing the support OF
other powerful members Of his cabinet.
Sifton's stand was commended by nearly
all the papers in the west, liberal as well
as conservative. Members of various
church organizations and civic and frater-
nal bodies loudly denounced this feature
Of autonomy and protests followed pro-
tests on their way to Ottawa many de-

Protestants from the states who have

BLACK HILLS MEN
ARE NOT PLEASED
Trip Of Cowboys" to the East
Not the "Card" for tho
Country Expected.
Special to The Journal,

Special to The Journal.
Deadwood, s. D., March 17.-Black
Hills citizens are wondering whether
or not the Seth Bullock expedition Of
cowboys and cattlemen to the Washing
ton inaugural and further east has done
this country any good.
Captain Bullock intended that this
trip should advertise the western coun.
try in the east for financial betterment
Western men have been reading the
"slush'' in the far eastern papers and
are indignant.
The party that left the Black Hills
consisted of one general manager for an
electric light plant, three wel-known
newspaper men, two wealthy lumber
men, ten wealthy cattlemen, foul
horseraisers, two ex-county commits
sioners, a railway contractor and other
business men who went for business as
we'll as pleasure.
The idea given in the eastern papers
is that all the men were from the
"wild and woolly'' country and. it
merely bears out the general opinion
held in the east that the Black Hills
is in the jumping of, place." Black
Hills papers are severely criticising the
trip.

W ANTS OLD TOWER
"RESTORED" AGAIN
Colonel Pond Has No Report from
Smelling, but Clings to His
Cement Idea.
BY w, w. Jermane.

Washington, March 17.-No report
has been received at thte quartermas:
ter generals office about the scaling Of
cement from the old round tower at
Fort Smelling because Of frost, nor has
any request come from any member Of
the state historical society for suspen-
sion Of further work, with view to
leaving the old stonework exposed.
Colonel George H. Pond, former chief
quartermaster general of the depart
ment Of Dakota, and acting quartermas-
ter general in the absence of General
Humphrey, said he could not say what
action the department. would take, in
the absence of any official report on the
subject. He seemed disinclined to be-
ieve that frost had caused any con-
siderable part of the cement coating to
peel off, but said that if it had, it was
due to faulty work on the part of the
contractor or use Of inferior cement.
His chief concern appeared to be to
fix the blame for this defect in con-
struction, and suggested that somebody,
either the contractor or the construct
ing quartermaster, Captain Schofeld,
had better fix things up. 1872 :"
Colonel Pond is the author Of the
plan for the restoration'' Of the, old
tower, and apparently wants to carry
it out, altho he may change his mind
if the protests from members Of the
historical society are vigorous enough.
