OFFER OF THE OPERATORS.
Counter Proposition is Made to the
Coal Miners

The subcommittee of anthracite
mine owners and their employees met
again in joint conference in New York
Tuesday afternoon.
1t is the belief of the members of
both committees that settlement will
be reached without resorting to long
strike. Each side is anxious for peace,
and neither side wants to shoulder the
responsibility for strike.
The operators presented a counter
proposition providing arbitration shall
be limited to the subject of wages, and
the adjustment of complaints through
a Cancellation board, and demand
that any new award of the commission
shall stand for three years.
The joint conference adjourned af-
ter having been in session about half
an hour, to meet again Thursday after
noon.

WEEKS HAPPENINGS
NEWS OF THE WEEK IN A con-
DENSED FORM.
Missing Man Found in River--Disap-
pearance of Chris Sven at SIOUX
Falls Is Partially Cleared Up-Coro-
ner Holds Inquest.

A Sioux Falls telegram says: me
mystery surrounding the disappear
ance in this city on the evening OF
Feb. l last of Chris Sven, farmer
whose home was near Humboldt, was
Sunday solved by the finding of the
| body of the missing man in the big
Sioux River in the northern part Oh
the city. Recently the belief grew
stronger that Sven had decamped ana
had gone to his old home in Norway
This appeared to be confirmed by d
recent rumor to the effect that the
wife of the missing farmer had recelv-
ed a letter from him, written In NOR
way.
The city and county authorities
made persistent efforts to unravel the
mystery surrounding Svens disappear
ance and some weeks ago the county
commissioners engaged Edward j..
Hargrove, a Chicago detective, to work
upon the case. AS the result OF evil
dence secured by the detective after
about two weeks effort, on March D
twenty four residents of Sioux FANS,
twenty men and four women, were ar
rested on suspicion Of having been
implicated in or knowing something
concerning the supposed murder or
the missing man. The prisoners were
put through the sweating process, but
nothing which tended to throw light
on the mystery could be ascertained,
and the authorities finally released
the suspects. ..
Just when those interested had be-
lieved the mystery in connection with
Svens disappearance would never be
solved the body of the missing man
was found in the river. While two
boys were fishing in the river Sunday
forenoon, north of the Sixth Street
bridge, dog belonging to one of them
swan out into the stream and grasped
with it's teeth what appeared to be
some floating clothing. This was turn
ed over by the dog and the boys saw
1t was the body of man. The po-
lice were notified and Chief Nelson.
Of the police department, readily iden-
titled the remains as those of Sven.
In the pockets of the dead man was
bank book, with the writing almost
entirely obliterated by the action OF
the water, little over 81 in cash, a
pocket knife, pipe and empty tobac-
co sack.
The theory is that Sven walked or
fell into the river on the evening of his
disappearance while in an intoxicated
an inquest, and this doubtless will de-
termine whether .Sven's death was ac-
cidental or the result of foul play.
