Following the announcement at San
Domingo Monday that the president of
the republic, Gen. Carlos +. Morales, had
left the capital for an unknown destina-
ton, troops were sent in pursuit of the

it is known that fight occurred about
ten miles from San Domingo, and it is
supposed that Gen. Pimentel, the rebel
commander, was attacked by government
troops.
The whereabouts of the fugitive presi-

endeavored to reach the coast and board
a sloop with the object of reaching Puer-
to Plata, on the north coast OF Santo. Do

has been dismissed by the government
from the post of governor of Puerto Pla-

BAD FOR SMALL TOWNS.
Some Will be Wiped Out by New
Railroad Extensions.

The extension of the Chicago, Miwau.
kee and st. Paul Railroad westward
from Chamberlain to the Black Hills has
played havoc with some of the little
towns which were established before
there ever was any hope of railroad
building through Lyman County
A conspicuous example of what has
happened to these towns which were left
off rhe route of the new railroad extern
sion is the little town of Lyman. which
at one time promised to become quite an
important hamlet The town now has
only one male inhabitant, in the person of,
l.. l.. Armstrong, pioneer resident Of
Lyman County and of the town Of Ly-
man. He states that he is now the en-
tire town of Lyman, from postmaster to
chief Of police, and that when he leaves
home the entire male population Of the
town goes with him.
Mr.. Armstrong constitutes the mayor,
board of education, town council and 9TH
er officials of the town, and thinks he is
entitled to congratulations, for no matter
what official action he takes with refer
ence to municipal or educational matters,
there is no one t. criticise or apply for

Automobile Accident-Machine" oe'

and is Burned-Driver Mysterf
ousIy Disappeared.

An automobile accident happened az the
Jim River bridge. three miles east VI
Mitchell, Friday night about midnight
which resulted in the burning up OF the
machine, leaving the running gears stanu-
ing bare of woodwork. Who owned the
machine. or who was driving it, could not
be ascertained, and there is more or less
mystery as to its ownership.
G.. III. Krom stated he was going nome
about midnight and passed a man near
the RAYMOND farm who was attempting
to fix an automobile He noticed that the
gasoline was leaking from the tank and
that it made a small blaze, and it was eV-
ident the stranger was trying TO IN that
or something else, as when spoken to the
driver Of the machine merely said he was
repairing little break. Later the auto
mobile passed Mr.. Krom before he got
home, and he noticed that little balls or
fire dropped along the road in the wake
of the automobile.
l.. Il. Stain went to the bridge Saturday
afternoon to make an examination OF the
machine. and he stated it stood i'll posi-
ton showing that in attempting to go up
the grade to the bridge the driver EVIDENT
ly lost control of the machine and 1t went
off the embankment and ran into tree
standing near the edge of the river. The
presumption is that the gasoline tank
was broken and that the fire occurred
from the headlights which were smashed.
The entire machine was consumed, which
made it impossible to secure the state
number of the automobile. 1t was
Jackson make, and Mr.. Stair thought it
cost about 81 200 or $500.
What became Of the drivergof the ma
chine is unknown, as it would seem that
he would return to the city and show
some interest in getting the automobile
back to the city, but nothing has been
heard of him.

SLAIN BY THOUSANDS.
The Dead at Moscow Estimated a
1000.

The correspondent of the London Daily
Telegraph at st. Petersburg, in a dis
patch dated at 6:45 p. M, Dec. %, says:
At an early hour Monday morning the
casualties at Moscow were estimated at
5000 killed and 1900 wounded, with the
fighting still proceeding.
The inhabitants of Moscow have been
O'clock in the evening.
1t is impossible to move about the city
i'll consequence of the number of stray
bullets. Many innocent persons have
been accidentally killed.
Scarcity of provisions is threatened.
at 1898 p. m, says:
Your Moscow correspondents tele-
grams have not been accepted, because
all private messages were refused Mon
day afternoon.
1t is learned, however, that cannon
firing is now proceeding in various parts
of the city, where Monday night, very
near the railroad stations, the barbados
erected by the revolutionaries are being
desperately defended.
The kursk terminus as Moscow is be-
ing pillaged, and many wagons laden
with provisions are being looted.
The emperor is engaged daily in review
ing at the Tzarskoi Selo, the regiments
of the ST. Petersburg district. The spirit
of the troops is decidedly loyal.
From fragmentary accounts received
from Moscow l gather that the civil war
has brought no decisive action, but only
thickening of the blood cloud. an in
tensifying Of the horrors and an increase
Of the prevailing bitterness.
The driving force behind both the
troops and the rebels is no longer that of
enthusiasm or of any human impulse. 1t
is the force of superhuman hate, and
hence the deeds reported are not the acts
of patriots, soldiers or otherwise, but the
enormities of madmen.
1t is impossible to understand how any
emotion even of the extremes Of despair
or hate can impart such foolhardy cour-
age as some of the rebels display.
For every barricade destroyed Sunday
two or three appeared in other places.
Orders were given by the revolutionists to
shoot only when there was good hope OF
bringing a man down, but otherwise to
tire out the troops until they lost pa
thence.

ARRESTED FOR RUSHING.
Israel Calkins Found Guilty in Hot
Springs Court.

Probably the most interesting case on
trial during the term of court being held
in Hot Springs now is the state of South
Dakota VS.. Israel Calkins, of Hot
Springs, and in which the jury brought
in a verdict of guilty. Calkins was ar
rested some months ago on the charge o.
cattle stealing. Judge MCGEE. befoa
whom the case was tried will not prs7S
nounce sentence until the close of the
term, when it is thought motion will
be made for a new trial. Israel Calkins
is a man with court history, this being
not his first offense. He was tried some
years ago for similar crime and would
have been sent to the penitentiary but
for the plea of insanity. AS result he'
was sent TO the insane asylum.

MOSCOW LINES CUT
FEARED THAT SITUATION HAS
GROWN WORSE.
Reinforcements Are Sent--PIan for
Rebellion on Big Scale in Poland
Ambas sador Meyer Demands Pro-
lection of American interests.

The Associated Press correspondent at
Moscow succeeded in getting the st. Pc
tersburg bureau by telephone Wednes-
day evening. but he had only uttered the
words, II am going to tell you horrible
story" when he was cut off.
Since then nothing has been heard
from the correspondent The Seminovsky
regiment of guards was dispatched to
Moscow by train Wednesday night. This
is considered rather ominous.
According to information received by
the revolutionary leaders at st. Peters
burg an armed rebellion OIL large scale
has been planned in Poland. The social
list revolUtionaries, encouraged by the sue
cess Of the insurgents in the Baltic prov
inces and of the situation in Moscow and
in Russia generally, have decided that
the moment has come to try to cast off
the yoke of the autocracy.
The tactics to be followed are the same
as those adopted at Moscow, the rising to
be preceded by general strike, which
already has practically come into opera
ton, bringing about half the railroads in
Poland to a standstill.
An open rebellion in Poland would inn
mensely complicate the situation for the
government. for if it would gain sufii-
cient headwayto warrant reasonable hope
of success it would probably draw in the
entire population, and the government
would have to reconquer the country.
The Associated Press learns that Mr..
Meyer, the American ambassador, made
representations to the Russian govern
ment regarding the danger to and the ne
cessity for the protection of the property
and employees OF the New Air Brake
Company at Lubertzi, an industrial town
near Moscow, and that he was promised
that the protection desired would be Civ
m Immediately in case of emergency
This perhaps accounts for the prompt ac-
ton OF Gen. Doubassoff, governor gem
eral at Moscow, in dspatching squad
ron of dragons to Lubertzi Tuesday.
1t also is learned that there is fear
that the insurgents would attempt to
seize the works OF the company, which
contain a large stock of explosives, the
company having been engaged in the
manufacture Of shrapnel for the Russian
government during the war;

SEEKS A DIVORCE.
Rob Fitz simmons Wife Joins the
Sioux Falls Colony.

A decided sensation was created at
Sioux Falls, s. d., Wednesday when it
became known that Mrs. Robert Fitzsim-
mons, who was generally supposed to be
in Europe studying vocal music, had be-
come member OF the Sioux Falls divorce
colony.
The belief that she was abroad appear
ed to be confirmed by an interview day
or two ago with Maj Charles Joseph Sib-
ley Miller, of the Pennsylvania National
Guard, who may be made the defendant
in an action for 100000 for alternating
the affections OF Mrs. Fitzsimmons, and
who stated that he had not seen Mrs.
Fitzsimmons since last June, when he al
legged he escorted her to the steamer at
New York and saw her safely off for
Paris.
But notwithstanding this claim, there
is not the slightest doubt that Mrs.
Fitzsimmons is now in Sioux Falls and
that her object is to secure divorce from
her prize-ighter husband

Hundreds Assemble on n Hill in the
Vicinity of Wheeler.

Parties arriving at Wheeler from the
vicinity of the mouth of Five Mile Creek
report that a great convention of coyotes
was held a night or two ago on high
hill in that locality. 1t appeared to be
a gathering of the coyote clans from far
and near. One of the features of the
convention appeared to be contest to
decide which of the hundreds of coyotes
had the strongest lungs. Throughout the
night the assembled coyotes participated
in a grand chorus, which could be heard
for great distance, and which caused
timid human beings residing in the Vi
cinity to shver with dread. Before hunt,
ers could reach the scene the following
morning the convention had adjourned

CAR FAMINE HURTS.
Grain Business Hurt by a Shortage
of Cars.

The car famine is playing havos with
the grain business atScotland as well as
at many other points in the state. Owing
to the heavy demand the railroads appear
to be utterly unable to furnish cars in
sufficient quantities to keep elevators
even partially cleared of grain.
The FIVE Scotland elevators are now fill.
ed beyond their capacity, and if the car
famine continues a short time longer
Scotland will be closed market TO the
farmer so far as the grain product is con-
cerned.- There is now sufficient grain to-
fill about fifty ears in the local elevatorSI
and every effort is being made to secu!}
cars so at least portion of the grain
may be shipped.
