The Horse Market.

The present installment of weather
has depressed horse trade. Country
operations are carried on with ex-
IRENE difficulty on account of intense
cold and from all market points come
reports of trade being blocked from
the same cause.
Receipts are less than last week
but buying force is much less too.
Notwithstanding this weakened condi-
ton of trade. fair clearances have Deen
made with very little concessions in
prices. Anything in the way of prime
drafters find ready outlet at steady
prices, but arrivals are almost too few
to establish a market criterion. Farm
chunks are in fair request, tho this
branch of trade has also suffered from
weather conditions.

BURN To DEATH
IN The CITY JAIL

Lake City, Nov. 13.-George w.
Buttrick and William Jackson were
burned to death yesterday about 2
o'clock in the city Jail by fire start
ed by Buttrick.
The two men with j. |. Nipple and
Isaac Allen were arrested about 1870
for disorderly conduct. They had
probably been drinking and were al
legged to have been using foul Ian
guage on the public square. Marshal
George w. Davis put Buttrick and
Jackson in the east cell, leaving Hip
pie and Allen in the corridor. He
told them he would go home and get
dinner and come back in an hour
Buttrick wanted some tobacco. Soon
some boys around the Jail heard Hip
pie and Allen yelling that Buttrick
was trying to set the Jail on fire, but
thought it a fake. Soon the smoke
issued forth and a boy ran to the
home of Marshal Peter Miles to get
the keys. He managed to open the
outer door and let Nipple and Allen
out. The other two were dead when
the door was opened. They were
practically burned beyond recogri-
ton.
There is no doubt that it was a case
of suicide and murder. Buttrick has
never been connected with crimes be-
fore. He leaves a wife and five child
rem. Jackson was arrested last year
for stealing. He had a family.

SIX HUNDRED IOWA
MINERS QUIT WORK
Trouble Over Train Causes a
Strike at 0Ska-
OoSa.
NO PROSPECT OF ADJUSTMENT
Men Claim That Railway Charges
Too High Rate for Transports
ton Of the Miners to and from
the Mines.

Oskaloosa, Nov. 1.-THE strike
originating about a week ago over
transportation differences between the
miners and operators at shaft No. 3
of the Hooking mines, has spread I'M
til not a wheel is turning in the Hook
ing coal mines, and 500 men are idle.
The differences between the opera
tors and men are not covered by the
agreement, and there is no prospect
of settlement of the trouble until one
side accedes to the demands of the
other. Not one bushel is being min
ed where the daily output was from
1,400 to 1000 tons of screened lump
coal.
The miners in No. mine refused to
pay the charge for miners train,
asked by the company. The train was
put on by the company before a
charge was fixed for hauling the men
to their work. The first charge made
by the company is said to have been
$1.30 per month. This has been cut
until the company offers the men
transportation at 70 cents per month.
This he says is the cost of the train
The men have averaged the prices
obtained for transportation in the
county, and offer II cents per month.
the average of Buxton, Hiteman and
Smoky Hollow The train has been
pulled off and the strike has spread
to all the mines. Operators and men
stand pat.
The settlement of the matter will
determine whether the Iowa Central
railroad will admit the ownership of
the Hooking mines. The miners say
that the train No. 8 can be operated
for the price they offer, because such
trains are operated by other railroads
controlled by mines, at the price for
which their offering is average.
The operators reply that the Central
and the mines are distinct concerns,
and that since the railroad is furnish
ing the transportation to the mine up
on its own terms, the conditions where
the equipment is owned by the com
pany, and where the railroad men are
paid by the month, instead of by the
hour, as per the Central's schedule
cannot obtain.

in fight to secure recount of the

The order was granted after Justice

half an hour later Col. Alexander S.
Bacon and F. w. Brown, representing
Mr.. Hearst, served the order on Com.

Gaynor said:
THE police have nothing whatever
to do with the ballot boxes, and it is
most astonishing that they should
have possession of them. They have
no right to even touch them. The. or.

The granting of the order came un,
e%pectedly and caused much surprise
and with the opinion of Justice Gay
nor that the police have no right to
the ballot boxes and should not even
touch them, new aspect is placed
on the case. This is the first time
such an order was ever issued, as
heretofore the police have always
had charge of the ballot boxes, after

but he said he would gladly cooperate

was issued from Mr. Hearst's head.
Quarters last night saying that an eY-

SENATOR BURTON
AGAIN INDICTED
Federal Grand Jury in St
Louis Frames New
Bill.
TO REMEDY ONE QUASHED
Allegations Same as Betore-Should
Demurrer to This be Sustained
Burton can Never be Indicted on
Charge

St. Louis, Mo-, Nov. 1.-THE FEEDER.
al grand jury, convened yesterday, re-
turned an indictment late in the after
noon against United States Senator
Burton of Kansas. 1t is stated that
certain features In the former indict-
ment against Senator Burton, which
was quashed, were remedied in this
new indictment.
The allegations in the present in
dictment are the same as in the one
quashed. That while a senator of the
United States he accepted money from
the Rialto Grain and Securities COM
pany of st. Louis for services render
ed before the postoffice department,
which was being investigated by in
spectors. The only change is in the
legal wording of the indictment, which
is different to avoid errors found in
the former by United States Judge
Vandevanter.
The federal grand jury was sworn
in yesterday by Judge Vandevanter,
and then, it is stated, spent the entire
day in the examination of witnesses,
who with one or two exceptions were
employees of the postoffice department.
Chief Postoffice Inspector w. ]. Wick
cry of Washington, William G. Coch-
rane, purchasing agent of the post
office department of Washington, In
spector in Charge r. NJ. Fulton of ST.
Louis, and Inspector in Charge Joseph
II. Johnson of New Orleans, were the
principal witnesses.
This Indictment is the third found
against Senator Burton, and, should
demurrer to this be sustained, Il Will
be impossible to ever reindict him for
his alleged offense in connection with
the Rialto company, owing to the stat
ute of limitations. Senator Burton
was indicted and convicted on
charge of accepting money from the
Rialto Grain and Securities company,
tor using his influence in the COM
oany's behalf in the matters pending
before the postoffice department at
Washington. The trial took place in
November, 1908. The case was APP
)ealed to. the supreme court, which
reversed the finding of the st. Louis
court. and the case was sent back for
'etrial.
A new indictment was found by the
grand jury in March, 1905. Burton's
attorney, f. w. Lehman, filed de-
nurrer to this indictment and it was
sustained. Judge Vandevanter imme-
iiately called the present grand jury
n order that the Burton case might
be considered before the statute of
limitations became effective on Nov.

THE DEMOCRATS ARE
VICTORS IN OHIO

Columbus, o., Nov. 9.-That John
M. Pattison has been elected governor
for the next three years by plural
ity running well above 10000 is well
settled, as also is the democratic
working majority in both houses of
the legislature, but there is still some
uncertainty as to the balance of the
state ticket. The earlier returns were
apparently from sections favorable
to Governor Herrick, for he held a
lead over the balance of his ticket
until yesterday when fuller returns
from the country districts cut into
his vote severely and by the middle
of the afternoon he seemed to be over
5000 votes behind the balance of
his ticket If that difference stands.
the victory of the other officers will
depend on the size of Pattison's
plurality with the chances in favor
of the choice of the entire democra-
tic list. Chairman CARRIER last night
figured pluralities for Pattison that
aggregated close to $4,000. in which
event the entire democratic ticket
was safe. The republicans have
given out no later estimate since that
of Chairman Dick conceding the cleo
ton of Pattison by $4,000 plurality,
but later reports received at head
quarters indicate that a larger figure
is correct.
Republican estimates give the
democrats from two to five majority
in the next senate and from ten to
fifteen In the house.

CHARLTON MAN Is
HELD FOR FRAUD

Charlton, Nov. IA sensational
indictment was returned by, the grand
jury when Prof. j. M. Hanlin, who
was for six years deputy county
clerk, and previous to that was coun-
ty superintendent here, was indicted
on the charge Of making false entries
in the fee book at the clerks office.
+. S. Wells was county clerk for four
Hanlin was his deputy during that
time. At the close of Wells term
he was elected county attorney, and
is now filling that Office. His books
as clerk were examined by expert &C
countants the past summer, and they
found that he owed the county about
$1,000, which he paid back to the
county treasurer. Sheriff Boss was
also found to be over credited on the
books, though he had not drawn his
salary to date.
Wells claimed that the $1,000 def.
cit to the county was through no
fault of his, as he claimed Hanlin,
his deputy, had had charge of the
books during his entire four years Of
office, and it was through Wells eff
fort as county attorney that Hanlin
was indicted yesterday.
Professor Hanlin has been held as
one of the most reliable and honest
