HONDURANS BACK DOWN.
Threatened to Resist Landing o
American Marines.


Puerto Cortez, April IT, via New
Orleans, April 24.-An amusing in
stance of the armed resistance to
American marines by Honduran revo-
lutionists came to light in the official
correspondence of the American gun
boat Marietta. Colonel Louis Isauila,
a revolutionist in command of the port
Of Tela, Honduras, drew revolver
upon Ensign McNair of the Marietta
when the latter was sent ashore at
Tela to say that American marines
would protect foreign property. Colo
mel Isauila threatened to kill the en-
sign If he did not desist In his purpose
of landing marines. Commander Full
lam of the Marietta sent a body of
marines ashore to demand an apology
from Isauila. These marines found
the colonel with eight men drawn up
In skirmish line and were told that
Colonel Isauila demanded an apology
of the Americans. When, however,
the Americans advanced and said they
intended to have an apology lsauila
backed down and wrote one.
Among the acts for which an apol-
ogy was asked was the cutting down
of British flag at Salado. lsauila's
soldiers threatened the life of William
Collins, a British subject, who had
raised his flag for protection. Com
mander Fullam informed the colonel
that the American marines would not
allow insults to the British flag.

TAX PERCENTAGE.
Judge Jones Decides Treasurer.
Fees in Collecting Certain
Taxes.

Salem, April "a. 4.-Attorney B. HI.
Wilson and A. G.. Biernatski received
word today from Judge Josheph w.
Jones, of Sioux Falls, that he had de-
cided the case of the city of Salem VS..
B. q. Ellers, county treasurer, in favor
Of the palintiff. The case was brought
to compel the county treasurer to accept
a fee of one per cent. for collecting city
taxes instead of four per cent, as has
always been charged here. The statute
provides for four per cent. fee for col
lecting all taxes except in cities, and
one per cent. in the cities. This was
fought on the ground that it is was un.
constitutional. but Judge Jones has de-
ceided the case. 1t will not be carried
to the supreme court as the Legislature
was given chance to amend the stat
ute at the last session, but failed to dc
so. The case has attracted attention
all over the state, as the practice has
been pretty general to take the four
per cent. for all taxes. Under the de-
cison the people of towns and town
ships pay four times as much for the
support of the treasurer s office as the
cities do, as this fee goes iEto the
special salary fund from which the
treasurer draws his salary. An action
will now be brought to recover three
per cent. overcharge that has been
taken in the past.

MINE FIRE.
The Homestake VIII Be Flood
ed Probably Idle for
Months.

Deadwood, April "a Whitewood
Creek will be turned into the Savage
tunnel within d few days for the pur
pose of flooding the burning Homestakt
mine.
For four weeks the miners hav,
fought hard to put out the fire, but Sc
far have been unsuccessful.
Flooding now seems to be the only sal
walton. Water has also been turned
into the mine through the Ellison shat
and the open court. A fiume is alst
being built by means OF which the
greater part of Wildwood creek will b,
turned into the Savage tunnel on the
other side of the mountain. This will
also connect with the 300foot level.
1t is estimated that there are 6S, 900,
900 cubic feet of space in the workings
which it will be necessary to fill before
the mine is completely full How Ions
this will take no one can tell, but g
conservative estimate says it will take
nearly three months The old Lincolr
shaft will be opened up and also USED
in this way.
The Homestake company mas ovel
100 miles of workings under the city O.
L cad and goes to a depth of 1850 feet
The magnitude of the operations jus
commenced can hardly be appreciated
This will mean the laying off of hun
dreds of men and the practical suspen
sion of work for several months.

MAIL BOX CASE.
Thrifty Farmer Refunds Money
Extorted from Neighbor
Woman.

Chamberlain, April "a. A case of al
unusual character which has occupied
the attention of the United States postal
authorities has finally been adjusted.
The principals were John Gleason, a
Charles Mix county farmer, and Mrs.
Ambrose, also resident of that coun-
ty, the two families living in the same
neighborhood.
Sometime ago two young sons OF
Mrs. Ambrose decided to have some fun
with Gleason and tampered with his
mail box. Gleason, 1t is said, went to
Mrs. Ambrose when he had traced the
damage to his mail box to the boys, and
demanded that she pay him the sum of
Sl5. As the tamperipg with mail box
Is a violation of the federal statutes and
subjects the offender to arrest by the
United States authorities it is alleged
that Gleason threatened that in the
event the money was not paid him he
would make complaint and nave the
boys arrested
1t Is further stated that Mrs. Am
brose became frightened and paid the
iIate farmer the sum of $25 in cash and
gave him note for the remaining $50.
1t was not long until a postoffjce in
spector learned what had been done,
and be made careful investigation OF
the matter.
The case has now been adjusted by
Gleason being compelled to refund to
Mrs An, brpca tho ,,,Cpnv which ba col
lected from her in violation of the law.

The Hague, Oct. 9.--The approval

mittee on arbitration Of the Anglo
American project for obligatory arbi-
tration, referred to during the course
of the debates as the permanent inter-
national high court of justice, the
court of arbitral justice, obligatory ar
bitration and universal arbitration, Is
regarded as a great victory, especially
for the United States. The first propo-
sition on this subject was presented
to the conference on July 3 by the
American delegation, and Joseph H.
Choate, the first American represent
alive, has worked increasingly and de-
terminedly for its acceptance.

The project was approved with a
majority greater than was hoped for.

Promoters Purpose Building a Net
Work Of Lines.
Plans are on foot to construct an
interurban railway system with Aber-
deen as headquarters, which will care
for the rural traffic, both freight and
passenger. The capital necessary to
launch this enterprise is ready, and
it is understood that a syndicate has
been organized to carry it out. All
that is needed is a franchise from
the city council granting permission to
use certain streets and alleys on
which the cars may be operated.
The country around Aberdeen Is
thickly settled, and there is a demand
for such a system. The promoters
do not hesitate to say that the In
vestment of so much capital is not the
thing that is worrying them. They feel
confident that it will bring rich re-
turns, but they would like to be equal
ly certain that tn ecouncil will grant
them permission to run the cars into
the city.
1t Is proposed to construct a main
line to a certain point in the country
district from which will branch other
lines. At the junction a signal station
will be established with telephone
connections with the rural system ana
Aberdeen. In connection with the in
.terurban service a messenger system
will be operated, SO that farmers can
make purchases and have deliveries
made from Aberdeen without having
to drive all the way in.

ROBBERS FILL SACK WITH MON.
EY, KILL SHERIFF AND ES-
CAPE.
MAKE ESCAPE ON HANDCAR
RUNNING PISTOL FIGHT MAIN.
TANNED IN FLIGHT TO HAND
CAR.

Seldom, Ala, Oct. a.-Four masked
robbers looted the First National bank
of $575,525 Saturday night. murdered
Sheriff Williams. who was. ~endeavor-
ing to stop them, and escaped with
their booty.
A little after 10 o'clock a man on
his way home noticed a ray OF light
coming from the window of the bank.
Curiosity prompted him to peer
through the narrow crack between the
curtain and the wall and he was horri-
fed to see four masked men in he
back room gathered about an open
vault, while the floor was covered with
coin and piles of paper money.
Filled Sack With Money.
One man held in his hand a f1our
sack, and as the surprised onlooker
stood watching them the robbers be-
gan to gather up the money and
thrust it into the sack.
Waiting to see no more he shouted
to some men who were passing on the
other side of the street and ran to
summon Sheriff Williams.
Just as the sheriff arrived the rob-
bers threw open the door and dashed
out, one mar carrying the bag Of mon
ey and all holding revolvers in their
hands.
"Stop!" shouted the sheriff, and he
called to the crowd to help In the
capture. The reply of the robbers was
a volley of pistol shots and Sheriff
Williams fell dead, his body pierced
by two balls.
Before the frightened crowd could
offer resistance. the men dashed down
an alley. firing as they ran.
Got Away on handear.
BY this time a score of men, most
of them armed, we're in pursuit. The
robbers ran through the alley and
northward to the yards of the South
ern railway, where a handcar was
standing on the track, evidently pre-
pared for their escape. Firing a last
volley the bandits jumped on the hand
car and escaped.
Mounted posses were o o formed
and dispatched along either side Of the
railroad track, while news Of the rob-
berry was quickly flashed to the next
station.
Sunday morning the handcar was
found thrown to one side of the track
a few miles from town, but no trace Of
the robbers was found.
