Sustain Heavy Losses In Gcman
Elections.
The German government a wen
a decisive victory in the general cleo
ton held Friday for a new reichstag.
The liberal, radical and conservative
parties. supporting Prince Won Rue-
lows colonial policy, have won at least
twenty seats. More important fer the
government than the success of Its
colonial plans, however. is the smash
ing defeat administered to the social
lists, who will lose seventeen or sigh-
teen seats.
This is the first election since 1887
that the socialists have not increased
their representation in the reichstae
by from i've to twenty seats. They
have lost especially in several large
cities, among these places being Bres-
lau. Halle, M~agdeburg, Leipzig and
Koneigsberg. The clerical center holds
almost one or two to the Poles in ST.
lecia. There is a possibility, however,
that reballoting In the undecided dis
tricts may lose one or two more seats
to the center party.
The conservatives " won six
seats. two from the anti-semltes, two
from the national liberals and two
from the socialists.
Reballoting probably will be neces-
sary in It's constituencies, SO that re-
suits will not be certain Until Feb. 5.
Certain districts in upper bavaria
are snowbound and nave o yet been
heard from. but they are considered
safe for the center party.

for Being Worsted by Nesro-Ap-

Weeds Father, a Sioux Indian up
on the Rosebud reservation, has met
with trouble that caused his disnissa,
from the police service, and he is at
present in Deadwood looking for
vengeance upon the man who
his disgrace. He was, prior to Jan.
5, one of the policemen on the reser-
walton and proud of his blue uniform
and silver star. On that date he was
sent out to look for some stray cattle
in the vicinity of Blair, Neb., some dis
lance from the reservation. Here ne
met William Roberts, a young colored
man, and it soon became apparent that
the red and black mar could not
agree. Roberts refused to answer the
questions of the policeman as to any
knowledge he might have of the
whereabouts of the missing cattle, ana
when the queries We're pressed at
tackled the Indian without
and before he could defend himself
stripped him of his revolver and star.
According to the story of Weeds rain
err he pursued the thief, but fear len
wings to the fighc and he escaped.
The disconsolate Indian returned TO
the reservation and told his sad story.
There was a solemn shaking of heads
among the tribe, for it was eVldent
that an Indian who would allow Z
colored man to a k away his gum the
insignia of his rank, was not worthy
to hold the important position. weed 5
Father was therefore TO the
ranks. Other policemen, holding their
guns with firmer hands, were sent out
In search of the o~bstreperous negro,

r MORE JURORS.
Five Men Now Accepted for the Thav
Trial.

Three more jurors to try Harry IS.
Thaw Thursday. This was attained
during the closing our of an extreme
ly tedious session. When court ao-
1ourned for the day, five Jurors, in
Guiding the two chosen Wednesday.
had been accepted n sworn in. Thir.
tyrone talesmen In all were examined.
The three jurors chosen Thursday are:
Henry C. Harvey, q piano dealer:
George Pfaff. dealer In mechanics
supplies. and Arthur S. Campbell, su.
perintendent OF telegraph and teia'
phone construction.
The two chosen Wednesday were
Deming b. Smith, a retired manufac.
turer, who will serve as the foreman,
and Charles II. Fecke, a shipping
agent.
The tedious in which the Sc
lection of Jurors proceeded Thursday
makes IL difficult to predict just when
the trial panel af twelve will finally
be filled. The courts order that the
jury must be kept together under the
care OF bailiffs had the apparent eff
feet of making many of the talesmen
reluctant to serve. Various excuses
were offered, one man declaring that
to be locked up for two months would
SO wreck his nerves as to make q
calm consideration OF h case an inn
possibility. He was excused.
OF the thirty peremtory challenge
allowed the prosecution n the de-
Tense, the former has used eight and
the latter six.
The defense Thursday seemed will
ing to accept my talesmen who mad
reasonable answers to the district at
torney's questions. The fact that
Thaw's attorneys asked several of the
talesmen If they had any prejudice
against any particular defense was
taken to mean that the defense might
be the so-called "unwritten law or
insanity, or a combination of both.

are getting to the front with the bills
which they desire to have enacted, one
of them being Ellerman's bill i%ncreas-
ing the annual wolf bounty appropria-
ton to SIS, 900. Under the law the to-
tai amount must be app%ortioned among
the different claimants for bounty, and
for the past three ears the amount
paid has been about 60 cents on the
dollar. This is not enough induce
ment for the professional hunters. and
with an increased appropriation it is
hoped to bring face value for the GER
tificates.
Another bill has been introduced by
Hore of Pennington. who want all
bills of sale of live stock to be ac-
knowledged before a proper certifying
officer. The intention of the bill being
to prevent the giving of bills of sale
