DEMAND FOR RANSOM
TWO SENSATIONAL PROPOSE
TIONS IN MARVIN CASE.
Writer Says He Can Deliver Boy for
81 ,0OO--Letter from New York Tells
of Suspicious Looking Couple with
Boy Stopping ut Private House.

Sensational developments with tive
separate demands for ransom money
ended a long day OF fruitless search
for the body OF the missing Horace
Marvin, the 4-year-o1o- son of DR..
Marvin, of Bay Meadows, near Dover,
Del, who disappeared a week ago
Monday.
The most remarkable of the two de-
mands for money was one which was
addressed directly to Gov Lea by for
mer State Detective Francis, of that
state. Francis told the governor that
he had important information about
the boy and that he was In communi-
cation with parties who were holding
him in Canada and who wanted $1,000
paid in gold through the Sheldon de-
tective agency, of New York.
Richard Wilburton, of Jersey City,
was the other man who demanded
$1,000 in behalf of parties unknown
who promise to return the boy safely
to his parents.
At the same time that these two de-
1nands were made DIR. Marvin also re-
tSlNtu, III 10 lcl-
ters, the first letter which speaks def
nitely about a man and woman car
rying a little boy with them and stay
ing at the house of the writer over
night because the man "disliked ho-
tells" This letter came from F. A.
Barber Is Newman avenue, Mechan-
icsville, n. p.
AS soon as Gov. Lea had had his in
terview with Detective Francis he
communicated with the Pinkerton de-
tectives in charge of the state investi-
cation. Francis asserted that he had
positive information about people who
are alleged to have fled to Canada
with the missing boy, and said that
the Sheldon detective agency had in
structions as to where the ransom
money should cross the border. The
Pinkerton men, however, appear to
place little confidence in the clew Of
Francis and the Sheldon detective
agency.

cably adjusted, and Wednesday Judge
MCGEE, Of the Pennington county cir

That dealers in fake mining stock

several Black Hills men, who some
weeks ago decided to take fly" at
the Goldfield stock market.
1t now develops that they are los
ers, and in a considerable sum, much
greater than was at first supposed.
The sharks operating in the Goldfield
district have raked in over $4,000 in
cash from the Black Hills men, this
sum representing the hard earned
savings of half a dozen of the old
timers of the Black Hills.
The Black Hills victims, in the hope
of saving something out Of the wreck,
few days ago sent a representative
to the Goldfield district, but he re-
ports, after a careful investigation,
that there is "nothin' dom" Daily
sessions now are being held by the vic
Tins in an effort to figure out some
method by which they can secure re-
turn Of at least part Of their money.

THINKS STOCK IN GOOD SHAPE.
G. X. Howard Says Losses VIII Not
BE as Heavy as Expected.

Notwithstanding the severity of the
weather during January ana part
of February, c. K. Howard, Sioux
Falls pioneer and now president OF
the Western South Dakota Stockmen's
association, whose range is on the
Cheyenne river, east of the Black Hills,
takes a hopeful view of the situation
with reference to losses Of stock dur
ing the remainder of the winter, the
sleet storms and cold rains Of Marcn
and April being about the hardest for
the cattle to endure.
In a letter to a friend Mr.. Howard
states that taking it altogether the
present winter-that is, the early por-
ton of it's the most severe he can
remember since the winter Of 1901,
and that it reminds him Of the WIN
ter Of 1867, when it killed the deer,
antelope, elk and the Indian ponies.
II saw" he writes, "a band of elk that
winter within twenty miles of where
Sioux City now is situated, that num-
bered at least 500 or 500 head. Many
persisted. The snow was four and five
feet deep on a level and the crust
made it impossible to travel. Indians
on snowshoes would walk up to a deer
and knock him on the head with a
Ratchet"
Mr.. Howard is engaged in stock
raising on an extensive scale, few OF
the present ranchmen of western
South Dakota having a greater num-
Der Of cattle than he. During the eX-
tremely cold and stormy weather of
January and the fore part of Febru-
airy he was compelled to feed over O.
500 head Of cows, calves and weak an
imals that were unable to procure
their own food on the open range,
owing to the fact that at that time the
range was covered by mass of ice
and cattle and horses were unable to
reach the grasses which usually fur
nish their winter feed.

RIOTING IN LOUISVILLE.
Follow Attempt to Run Cars with
Nom Union Men.


Non-Union Men.
The first attempt of the Louisville
Street Railway company. whose en-
ployes struck Sunday, to run street
cars by non-union men Monday morn
ing was accompanied by demoRstra-
lions in many parts of the city The
entire police force was on duty, and
there were numerous calls for their
assistance in widely separated sections
OF the city. Crowds hooted and jeered
the non-unionists, and in some cases
pelted them with stones. Transfers
aided the strike sympathizers in
blockading the tracks, and one motor
man was seriously hurt. Two conduc-
tors were forced to return fares 10
passengers, reverse the trolley and
take the cars back to the barns.
The excitement incidental to the
holding up of cars and throwing
stones In the vicinity OF Fourth and
Hill became so intense during the
morning that ii was found necessary
to dismiss the pupils Of the girls high
school.
The Transfers union has indicated
its willingness to order a sympathetic
strike at once.

BANQUET FOR STATE soLoNs.
Aberdeen NOrmal's Faculty to Cello
brate 100000 Appropriation.

The faculty Of the Aberdeen Normas
school will give a banquet and recp-
ton to members of the state legisla-
ture from this section to celebrate the
action Of the legislature, which has
just appropriated 100000 for the erec-
ton of a new building for the school.
This institution has had a phenomenal
growth. 1t already has three hand
some buildings main building, dor
mitory and mechanical arts--but the
number of students has grown so rap
idly that it became necessary to send
an urgent plea to the legislature for
assistance. The money appropriated
will be available in two installments,
half this year and half next year.
President Nash plans to enlarge the
main building and construct an ad-
ministration building adjoining the
mechanical arts. This will be pre-
sented to the board of regents and it
is hoped the members will agree. The
banquet will be held from 6 to 8
o'clock in the dormitory and following
the reception an entertainment will
be given.

TO LAND KIDNAPERs.
Detectives Strike Trail In the Marvin
Case

Ease.
Deputy Attorney General Richards
working on the case OF little Horace
Marvin, who was kidnapped on Mon
day at Dover, Del, has instructed
State Detective Hawkins to arrest
John Hart, a footman, Of Gloucester
and Bowers Beach, who had been
tracked to Newcastle with his peculiar
black hulled, cat rugged sloop, which,
1t is alleged, was the craft used to
yet the child up the river to point
where trains connected.
This sloop had been traced to Salem
creek, where she is supposed to have
been since Monday evening because of
the floating fee in the Delaware river.
Mr.. Richards received word at s
O'Clock that the sloop had been seized
at Newcastle and that the skipper was
under surveillance. Hawkins went al
once to Newcastle and put Hart under
arrest.
Meantime DR.. Marvin was sought by
Secretary of State Joseph l.. Cahill
and notified that Gov. Lea had taken
hold of the case and would nave a
conference with him at his residence
relative to the quickest method Of re-
covering the boy and capturing the
kidnapers.
1.-THE governor is greatly interested"
said Mr.. Cahill, land desires to as
sure you that no pains or reasonable
expense will be spared to get back
your boy"
1--WE must have the boy back first"
said DR.. Marvin. II would rather
think about that and talk about that
line of action than would the infrac-
ton Of the laws. 1 shall never rest on
earth until get him"

SILVER IN MEXICAN CHURCHES.

Ornaments in Houses.

Orna ncnts In houses.
"The amount of pure silver found in
the Mexican churches Is almost fabu-
lous," said William 2. Boyer Of Mex
leo City to q Milwaukee Sentinel
writer. I'm the Mexican cathedral,
which has stood for several centuries,
the altar railing is composed OF virgin
silver and represents an outlay OF S3,-
100000. All the altar coverings are
generously covered with silver and 1t ID
estimated there is more than S3O,OOO,-
600 worth of the valuable product used
In decorating the Mexican cathedrals.
Up to the present day the Mexicans
have little use for silver as CONNER.
cial product ard even the poorer class
es use the greater part Of their silver
possessions for decorations.
I'm the days Of the Spanish rule
when the cathedral was built there
were several historically fabulous sill
yer mines near the city that contained
surface ore of great value. The igner-
ant Indians had no knowledge OF Its
value and when the explorers discov-
cred them wearing large chunks OF IL
in necklaces they found where the val
liable mines were. !
Most of the silver was deposited in
the churches and when the people were
unable to use it as money they decor
ated their houses and churches. Every
rich home in Mexico has hundreds OF
dollars worth Of silver ornaments.
When the American visits a Mexican
home he is told by the polite host that
whatever he wishes is his. This, OF
course, is only polite Spanish express
sion and oftentimes the American does
not understand him and selects some
costly silver ornament. AS the rich
Mexican is too polite to explain mat
tiers, he often loses many valuable sil-
yer articles and many Of them have
found their way to American homes
and are priced beyond value"
