Reported Threat Against Clock Factory
Foreman.
There is a "Black hand" talk in Win
sted now. Rumor is that William Ber-
tig, foreman of the William l.. Gil
bert Clock company has received a
threatening letter signed BLACK Hand
admonishing him for diseharging an
Italian employed under him. The letter
also contained threat against his life
If any more men were discharged.
There are many Italians in Winsted
just now and that possibility of their
having such an organization as the
Black Hand is causing much worri-
ment.

Has Me4u Plan for
Handling School Lands

Pierre. y. H.. Feb. Foncannon. OF
Mcpherson, takes issue with those
with those who favor the withdrawal
Of all school lands from the market.
and proposes bill which will place
practically one-twenticth of the lands
on the market eRcn year until one
fourth OF the lands shall have been
sold. and VI there shall remain In the
treasury ut the end of any year sum
In excess OF 100000 OF unloaned school
funds there shall be- no sale OF lands
Ia the succeeding year.
Ia support OF this bill Mr.. Foncan-
non calls attention to the prices which
were received for these lands sixteen
years ago as being a little over si3 per
acre and In 1906 about Sc per acre.
From this he argues that the interest
received on the land sold sixteen years
ago viii bring the total receipts from
such land up to the price received
from the land sold last year. and hence
there has been no loss To the state
school fund by the selling OF the lands
during the early days or statehood.

MAIL ORDER HOUSE
LOSES FIRST ROUND
Judge Garland Refuses to Re.
strain Retailers in Their
Fight on Concern.

Sioux Falls, =. D.. Feb. Judge
Garland. OF the United States court In
:hls city. has denied the application OF
Montgomery Ward a Co. OF Chicago.
Cor a temporary Injunction restrain
ing the officers and directors OF the
South Dakota Retail Merchants and
Hardware Dealers association and
Editor r. j. Mannix. OF the CONNER
rial News. OF this city. from continuing
their alleged boycott against the Chi
eago concern.
The great Importance Of the decision
Is due TO the fact that had the plaintiff
company won out In this case. there
Is little doubt IL was the intention OF
The concern To institute similar actions
In other states where merchants as
sociations are waging relentless war
fare against the encrcachments OF the
mail order houses.
The action was instituted by the Chi
.ago mail order concern as the out
growth OF a fight which has been made
In South Dakota against the extension
In this state OF the business OF the
mail order houses. The aid OF the job
bers and wholesalers was sought, and
they were urged To- stand with the re-
tail dealers as against the mail order
concerns.
Crippled Source OF Supplies.
OWING To the Iucl lndt toHlt oi AHo
jobbers and wholesalers refused 60 sell
goods To the mail order concern, which
is the plaintiff In this action, the plain
tin company alleged that II had been
damaged through being unable To pur-
chase the goods required by IL To I'LL
the orders OF It's customers.
Judge Garland In denying the appli-
cation. held I'm substance. that the de-
PENDANT association had not used
threats in the effort TO induce Jobbers
and wholesalers not to sell their goods
TO mail order houses. but had simply
endeavored to persuade them TO stand
with the retail dealer, and that the
course OF the officers OF the association
had not been unlawful.
Judge Carlnnd's decision clearly sets
forth the matters at issue In the case.
and ne cites numerous authorities TO
sustain him I'm his denial OF the temper
airy injunction asked for by the plain
tin company.
Although the temporary injunction
YVES denied. this does not wholly end
the case, which. unless IL Is in the
meantime withdrawn by the plaintiff
company. will come up for hearing on
its merits at the regular April term
OF United States court in this city. The
plaintiff company simply sought To Sc
cure temporary injunction To hold
until the main case was disposed OF at
the April term.

ton.
