REV. HENRY TRAWICK PROBABLE
 PASTOR OF COURT STREET CHURCH

It is known. too, that a number of the leading members of the church favored the filling of the pastorate by an Alabama minister Mir. Trawick was highly favored for this important post by these members. If the return Ing Methodist reflect tho situation as it really exists at Eufaula in all prob- ability the charge will go to Mir. Ira wick.
 Mir. Trawick is regarded as one of the most brilliant of Alabama minis ters. Although a young man, he has filled some of the most important charges in the Alabama Conferences. Mir. Trawick came to the Perry Street Church only a year ago. It was at that time the thought by the Bishop and some of the leading ministers of the Conference that minister of un- usual ability should be sent to the Perry Street Church, prfmarily because of some internal differences that had at one time existed among the members. The years pastorate Vf Mir. Trawick has been crowned with remarkable success His congregation has faced the inevitable of giving him up with deep regret.

HAVANA LAUGHS AT
SlLVEIRA'S DEFENSE
Captain of the carmelina Says the Flu
gitive Broker Had Only
100000.

Havana, Oct. 27.-It was learned on
board the Carmeiina. which returned
from Puerto Cabello with Manuel Sill
veira, that he shipped from here on
October 2 as No. % of the crew, his
family of six going as passengers. Cap
tain Anderson. of the cattle boat pro-
fessed not to have known that the
broker who chartered the vessel was
making surreptitious flight.
He says he left for New York, but
got orders a few miles out to put the
vessel about for the SOUTH He touched
at Curacao. where he paid a fine for
not having proper papers. Then he
went to Puerto Cabello and Senior Sill
veira journeyed to Caracas, where he
said he was going into the cattle bust
ness
The story from Caracas that silveira
had said he left $1,50O,0OO on deposit
here, to meet s75oo0O liabilities is
laughed at.
That's absurd" said prominent
banker. "He may have referred to any
claims not yet paid by the treasury,
but they did not belong to him. They
are the property of the New York and
European syndicate got up by Ceballos
& Co., for which they and Silveira
merely acted as agents. Silveira lust
before he went tried to discount a lot
of paper and was turned down hard
From what l can hear he did not have
more than 100000 when he left"
Captain Anderson says Silveira so
far as he knew, had no large amount
aboard. He understood when the YES.
sells fine was paid that Silveira's cash
in hand was 100000.

DOUBLE MURDER
JUST REVEALED
Bodies of Two Men Found Un.
der Hay at South Dakota
Farm.
KILLED IN THEIR SLEEP
On One Body Was s32, but No Means
of Identification Has Been
Discovered-Dead Ten
Days.

Bristol S. D., Oct. 29.-Lying buried
under the hay in the loft of a barn at
the rear of farm house mile north
west Of this town, the dead bodies Of
two men We're found last night by a
Bristol teamster. who went there for a
load of hay.
His attention was first attracted by
a shoe protruding from the hay and
pulling 1t, there was revealed the two
bodies. He carried them to his wagon
and brought them here. Both had bull
let holes in the head and the condition
OF the bodies indicate the men had been
dead about ten days.
One of the victims weighed about $50
pounds, had black curly hair and a
very small nose. The other man was
much smaller. but his face was badly
decomposed.
Money on Person.
The former had s32 in bills and two
beer checks on the Wellington hotel
bar. ST. Joseph, Mo.
Beyond this absolutely nothing was
found on the clothes to lead to identifi-
cation. Investigation by the authori-
ties revealed the fact that the men
were murdered. Two residents here
remember hearing five shots fired about
ten days ago and believed the men
We're murdered while they were Sleep
ing. AS far as can be learned, the men
came here two weeks ago to join a
threshing crew, but had not been seen
since Monday a week ago, and they
We're thought to have left town.
An inquest is being held by DR..
Scheneker, which may throw more light
on the crime.
The position in which the victims
We're found was that of bunl<mates and
the authorities express the opinion that
the murderer waited till they were
asleep and then shot them through the
head. The wounds indicate the weapon
was held close to their faces. Tho
greatest excitement prevails.

Fierre IS. d, Oct. 27.-The farmers
of Sully county, by popular subscrip-
ition, have raised over 100000 for the
purpose of constructing and equipping
an electric line from this city to Oko-
boji, a distance of twenty-one miles.
The money has all been paid in and is
on deposit in the banks in this city and
Oneida, the county seat of Sully coun-
ty, in which county Okoboji is situ-
ated, and the statement is made by
those who are pushing the project that
work of construction will be begun in

Sully and Buffalo are the only two
counties east of the river that are not
traversed by one or more railroads, and
now the residents of the former are de-
ternsined upon having the only cleo
trio line in the state.

DISTRICT CANDIDATES OUT.
Supreme Court Holds Commissioners
Must Be Nominated by County.

Supreme Court Holds Commissioners
Must Be Nominated by County.
Pierre, S. D., Oct. 26.-Holding that coun-
ty commissioners must be nominated by
the county as a whole and not by dis
tricts. Judge Hancy of the supreme court
handed down decision yesterday in the
case of the state ex. rel. M. B. Long and
E. A. Wearne. chairman of the repub-
lican party Of Day county, VS.. Manson
Rexford, county auditor of the same coun-
ty. dismissed petitions presented by cam
didates nominated by districts.
The full text of the decision is as fol-
lows:
The office of county commissioner in
authorized by the constitution, which de.
clares 1.-The legislature shall provide ty
general law for such county, township and
distI district officers as may be deemed neces-
ton will disclose that the county govern
ment is entrusted to a body designated as
"a board of county commissioners" that
commissioners almost exclusively relate
to county affairs; and that they are elect
ed by all the voters of the county, ''the
Political Code, sec. S09-S65.) There is there
fore no escape from the conclusion that
the statutory rule regarding party NOM
nations for this office was changed by the
act Of 1905: a conclusion demanded by the
language Of the act itself; and consistent
with sound public policy. because it is
strictly in accord with the spirit of popu-
la reflections, that where an officer is to
be elected by all the voters of any given
territory the nomination of a candidate 10
represent any political organization should
be participated in by all the members of
such organization in such territory.
(state VS.. Rotwitt. IS Mont 5o2.) So It
clearly was competent for this county
convention to nominate county commits
sioners. 1t alone could make republican
party nominations. And it IS immaterinl
whether a different method had been fol-
lowed for years in Day county, as all
party customs must necessarily yield 10
the regulations established by law. For
these reasons the REALTORS in this proceed
ing We're given the relief prayed, and the
application on behalf Of the candidates
nominated by the district convention was
dismissed.
1t is rumored that on the strength of
this decision a number of counsy commits
sioner cases Will be rushed to the supreme
court yet before the election, as there was
question as to just what the ccW US law
intended in regard to such officers, and
the nominations we're made in different
manners In different count.cs. I. any con-
tests come they Will be from counties
which cd not Eon.natc in the county con-
vent;on.

steader Orders Mourners to

Murdo Mackenzie, S. D.. Act. 20
The corpse of strange man moving
about the prairies of this section was
not ghostly demonstration. but the in
evitable outcome of the refusal of sew
eral homesteaders, armed with shot
guns, to permit interment.
With no papers on hts person or any
other mode of Identification, stranger
was last week found dead in a side
tracked box car, his only home. In
his pockets was found 55 cents in
change and the authorities, having no
means of finding out who the unfortun-
ate man was or whether he had any
relatives or not, were compelled to take
charge of the burial proceedings. the
city undertaken volunteering to arrange
the matter.
But Murdo Mackenzie Is new town,
having been incorporated less than one
month, and as yet owns no burial plat,
so the body of the stranger was placed
in rough box and taken outside the
city limits where a grave was started,
several spectators and a wandering
minister were present at what was exc
pected to be the performance of tho
last ritse over the remains Of the man
strange land.
Objected to the Planting.
While the undertaken was at work
on the grave, having nearly completed
his task, the homesteader who had filed
on the land where the grave was being
dug appeared upon the scene and en-
tered strenuous objections to hts claim
being turned into a cemetery, and Or
dered the burial party away from the
premises. Having no legal right there,
the undertaken was forced to transfer
operations to an adjacent quarter, also
outside the limits of the town.
Here another grave was dug and the
corpse was lowered in undisturbed
peace. The minister read a chapter
from the bible and offered a short
prayer and the undertaken and assem-
hymn, and then the grave was filed.
AS the last shovel of earth, however.
was thrown on the roungh casket, an
other irate homsteader armed with a
gun and accompanied by neighbor
similarly armed appeared upon the
scene

he shouted, "this is my homestead"
But he's buried now." argued the
undertaken.
well. you dig him up and dig him
up in hurry or therell be trouble" :"
replied the homesteader, punctuatfnp
his remarks with flourish of his gun
The minister and others here entered
the controversy and finally succeeded
in getting the owner Of the land to al
low the remains of the stranger to rest
in peace until the new town could Sc
cure a cemetery site, promising that
when this was done the remains would
be moved.

CATTLE GIVE WAY To SHEEP.
Million and Half Pounds of Wool Were
Shipped from Belle Fourche.

Belle Fourche, S. D., Oct. 29.-The
wool shipments from this county for
this year have far outstripped those
of any previous year, and are indubita-
bic proof that the sheep industry is
growing rapidly in this section. At the
present rate, it will not be long, until
it far exceeds the cattle business, which
has hitherto led everything. Belle
Fourche, known as the largest cattle
shipping point in the world, before
many years, will be the greatest place
In the country for wool. This year the
total shipments of wool from this point
were close to 100000 pounds. AS the
amount last year fell short of a mil
lion pounds, the increase will be seen
to be enormous. Further, the ship
ments from Belle Fourche do not in
clude all Of the wool that goes from
this county, as large amounts are
shipped from Dickinson. North Da-
kota, and also from Medora in the
same state. 1t is a significant fact
that a number of cattle men in this
county have disposed of their holdings
and have put their funds into sheep.

DAKOTA BANKER VS.. I. G. pLAT1
Suit to Compel U. S. Express Company
to Accept Shipments of Money

Aberdeen. S. D., Oct. 27.-Great inter-
est centers in a suit begun at Sioux
Falls today in which the Aberdeen Ma
tional bank seeks to compel the United
States Express company to accept ship
ments of money at the express COM
pany's Office.
The principal trains arrive and depart
from here either at an early hour in the
morning or late at night and the bank
has tried to turn its shipments over to
the company and avoid having to take
them to the trains to express them. The
matter was referred to the railroad and
warehouse commission, but the express
company claimed the commission had
no Jurisdiction in the matter. AS last
resort the bank has taken the case into
the federal court. AS the rule of the ex-
press company is general. the result of
this suit will be awaited with inter-
est
