SHOT MULE FOR BURGLAR
LuDlcRoUs NIGHT ADVENTURE
ON ROSEBUD RESERVATION.
HE HEARD RuMeLlNe AT DOOR
Slaughter Then Fired Charge of
Bird Shot Through the Panel Of a
Acknowledgement investigation
Shows Burglar Was a Mule.

Dallas, S. d., Nov. S.-While riding
on his homestead claim in the coded
portion of the Rosebud Indian reser-
walton near here, Chester Slaughter,
a well-known resident of this part of
the state met with rather a curious
adventure. He had sent his family to
town, intending to follow them the
next day.
That night he was aroused from
sleep by noise which he believed was
made by some one attempting to
break into the house Creeping down
stairs, with a loaded shotgun in his
hands, he heard some one apparently
fumbling at the door-knob. Instantly
Slaughter raised his shotgun and
fired through the door. He heard a
cry as of pain, but not caring to in
vestigate any further that night, he
securely fastened the door and waited
until morning.
When day dawned Slaughter went
out of doors, confidently expecting to
find the dead body of fellow man
He was agreeably surprised, however,
at not making such a gruesome dis.
covery. Continuing his search, he
went to a shed and there found a pet
mule, grievously wounded by the load
of bird shot which had been fired
through the door.
The mule had been running at large
in the barn yard and had backed W
against the door in an endeavor to
gain shelter from a storm The mule
will live.

TRAIN GREW NOT 70 BLAME
CoRoNER'S JURY ExoNERATES
NORTHWESTERN ENGINEMEN.
His Feet, However, Seemed to be Un-
der a Cattle Guard or Small Fence
at Side of Track and snginemen Did
Not Realize it Was Human Form.

The coroner's inquest over the re-
mains of August Haase, who was
killed by the Norfolk-Bonesteel pas
senger train at road crossing near
his home north of Norfolk, resulted in
a verdict which found that the engi-
neer and firemen on the engine were
in no way responsible for the death.
Testimony of the enginemen brought
out the statement that Haase was ly-
ing on the ground, his head on the
track and his feet under cattle guard
along the right of way, for some time
before the train struck him. The en-
gineer saw an object on the roadbed
some distance ahead of the train but
thought that it was a pumpkin, a
mans coat or some other similar OBJ
ject, lying on the track. The fact that
the feet were stretched under the
cattle fence, hid the mans body par
TALLY and deceived the engineer.
Stopped Train, But Too Late.
He did not realize that it was man
lying on the ground until the train had
come almost upon Mr.. Haase and, the
instant it was seen that human form
lay on the track, the whistle was
blown, the bell rung and all possible
emergency brakes applied. But the
engine had come so close upon the
man that Mr.. Haase was struck and

A Story of Lincoln.

A new story of Lincoln was told on Saturday evening at the semi annual dinner of the Dela- ware Society of the State of New York. The author of the story was the venerable B. G. Jayne, who during most of the Civil war was the personal assistant of Edwin M. Stanton, the famous war secretary. One day Lincoln sent for Jayne to come to the White House. "My bOy,' said he, "there is a letter 1 would like to have you look at." Jayne plcked up the letter and found 1t was from Gen. Dix. It contained the information that several fed eral prisoners had escaped from Libby prison with the aid of Ab- bic Green, a woman famous dur ing the war. The letter also said that as the fact of Abbie's assistance was we'll known she had been obliged to flee from Richmond, and even then was on her way to Washington on the flag of truce boat. Now, my boy," said the President, '1 don't know what 1 should say to any rascal who would steal that letter and have a bill passed through congress to grantS10, ,OOO to the relief of Abbie Green"
 MT. Jayne ''stole the letter, and the next day both branches of congress passed the bill to grant S10,00O to Abbie Green. The following morning "Honest Abe" sent for Jayne again. Il told you I didn't know what l should say" he said, with a twinkle in his eye, ito the rascal who would steal that letter and have congress act on it. Now, l have made up my mind what to say. You go down to No, --street, get Abbie Green, take her down to Chase at the treasury, and don't you let her go till she gets that money
 "That," said MT. Jayne, twas President Lincoin's way, and q mighty good way it was. New York Press.

The recent consular order Of the president is in line with many of the reforms instituted by the present administration. It is one of the most important of the reforms yet undertaken. There has been much laudation of our consular system and ser vice, eulanating chiefly from the service or the servants them selves; but it is not necessary for one to travel in order to know that our consular system is bad-in fact almost the worst of any civilized country. It IS only necessary to remember that the appointees are broken down political hacks, political hench- men, forced upon the president by members of congress or sena
 tors. It has been rare indeed that those sent to Gernany,

France, Spain, Italy and other foreign countries have been able to speak the language of the country to which they are accred- tied. Added to this, it has been rare that any of them have ever before been outside of the United States, and some of them, no matter how much they might have travelled, were men of such inferior minds and culture that they could never have worked themselves free from the lgnor- ance and proyincialism imposed by heredity and habitat. When it is remembered that these per- sons in the commercial and social centers to which they are assign ed must, from the necessity of the situation, be compared with and must contend with the we'll educated, debonair and polyglot representatives sent out by Eng land, Germany, France and oth- CT countries, it will be realized how heavily we have teen hand icapped by our so called ''best consular service in the world.

Work We'll Under Way at Yuma on Dams and Levees, and Canals VIII be Begun in a Few Weeks.
]Los Angeles Exprcss.l

Large tracts of land will be opened for settlement in the Yuma Indian reservation, accord ing to information received by Gen. Frank c. Prescott, register, and o. E. W. Robinson, receiver, of the United States land office here. J. P. Lippincott, super vising engineer of the reclama- tion service, writes as follows:
 "Work is we'll under way at Yuma on the dams and the lev ees, and we expect to start con- struction of the canals in a few weeks. The time for the com pletion of the contract on the dam is July, 1907. The other work under the project will be timed so as to be finished simul- taneously with the work on the dam. In the meantime there will be no opportunity for ob- taining water government canals under the Yuma project, but there IS a great deal of work to do, both for laborers and me- chanics, in connection with this construction. We are also em' ploying all the animals we can get in the country"

Carmen, With $4,000.
Feel That They Can Stand
Prolonged Idle Period

One reason why there is cause for a
certain jauntiness of demeanor among
the striking carmen is that they enter
tain no serious fears of running short
of funds with which 10 carry on the
strike There is said to be 100000
practically in sight now and the union
feels that should a crisis come it can
find more resources to tide the men
over and protect their families from
suffering.
Once before the union carried on a
strike successfully and that was before
il had a treasury. Now there is a
treasury, probably a rotund bank roll
has been accumulated, though Secre-
Treasurer Bowling refuses to
state how much money is on hand
In addition to its own resources the
union has been voted support by the
State Federation of Labor, the San
Francisco Labor Council, the Typo
graphical Union, the Carpenters Union,
the Oakland Carmen's Union. which be-
came strong in the spring. largely
through the efforts of President Cor
nelius and international President Nc
Mahon. and other labor organizations,
Secretary Bowling would not say of
ficially just at what sum this promised
aid could be estimated but approx
mated it roughly at $4,000 at the
present time, and declared that it had
an elastic value.

HILL CUTS RATES
To HOLD FIELD.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2s.-Sir William
Van Horne, as chairman of the Cana
dian Pacific, has a right to speak for
that corporation. His remark that ]. ].
Hill is going to build in Canada as a
reprisal for the Canadian Pacific's new
route from Chicago to Spokane is going
the rounds of the traffic men.
Ten days ago Mr.. Hill announced an
other cut in the local rates on grain out
of his own territory. Those rates are
not competitive to any great extent. He
is following a policy that will act as a
deterrent to other systems looking for
northern branches So long as the
grain or any other local rates on impor-
tant commodities remain at level
where there is heavy profit in hauling
stuff out there is big temptation to
other lines to break in, but when rates
come down year by year other roads
cannot figure out the profit on the
building of branches.
The Hill policy looks to be defensive
with regard to local traffic, but when
one looks at the new lines he is talking
about ]. J. Hill appears in role that is
militant and his attitude is more threat
ening than at any other time in recent
years.
