LEASED wATERwoRKs SYSTEM.
Town of Wagner Became Tired of
Municipal Operation.

Wagner, Dec. 9.-Having tried
municipal control of the local water
works system for time, the auth
critics of Wagner have leased the
local system to John Absher, prom
inent local capitalist, who is expend-
ing the sum of $4,000 in improving
the system. 1t has been leased to
him for a period Of years, during
which he will have absolute control.
A condition of the lease was that
he furnish an ample supply of water
for all purposes at cost not to ex-
ceed fifty cents per 1000 gallons, to
give the city water at the rate of
thirty-five cents per thousand gall
Ions, to pay the interest on all out
standing water bonds and the inter-
est on additional expenditures when
it is fopnd necessary to extend the
water mains. Mr.. Absher also
pledges himself to pay the city three
cents for each 1000 gallons of water
used by the patrons of the system.
Mr.. Absher expects to have the i'm
provements to the system completed
by February 1, so that the plant can
be placed in successful operation at
that time.

RESISTED
THE OFFICERS
FIERCE BATTLE WITH BULLETS
IN BUSINESS SECTION OF
KANSAS CITY.
FOLLOWED EFFORT OF PROBA-
TION OFFICER TO CARE
FOR CHILDREN.

Kansas City, Dec. SIN the very
shadow of the city hall and within
less than half mile from the busi
ness center of this city, riot in
which religious fanatics and the po-
lice were participants and in which
over a hundred shots were fired,
this afternoon resulted in the death
of one policeman and a girl thirteen
years old, fatally injuring three per-
sons and slightly injurng two other
persons. The trouble took place
when the streets were crowded with
progress the participants traversed
an entire block, the final stages be-
ing enacted directly across the
street from the police station.
George NJ. Hall, probation officer,
went to Fourth and Newman streets
to investigate case of alleged alb
duction and when he was near that
corner he came upon man named
Sharp, who was surrounded by COM
panions and was eXhorting crowd
of street loafers. With Sharp were
a man, woman and five children,
the latter ranging in age from three
to fourteen years. The officers sus-
picions were aroused by the manner
in which the woman attempted to
secure money contributed by the
crowd and he decided that she and
her male companion were not proper
persons to have the custody of young
children. He accosted the woman
and received a sharp reply.
Hall was not armed and found
himself at decided disadvantage
when Sharp and his companions
showed revolvers but he stood his
ground and received an ugly blow
behind the right ear. Hall started
for the police station to secure the
aid and the police sargeant ordered
two patrolmen to arrest Sharp and
his followers. The party was with
in fifty yards of the police station
when the officers stepped into the
street. The officers were not pre-
pared for the volley of bullets
which met them as they appeared
upon the scene and one officer was
instantly killed, while the other Off
Ger received bullet in his arm.
Another officer rushed into the
street and a general battle ensued
but the officer was unable to shoot
without endangering the lives of
innocent persons. When the fight
ing ceased Sharp lay fatally wound
ed and the woman and children had
escaped to boat on the river.
The police followed the fleeing
woman and children and the woman
resisted them with shot gun when
hte officers rushed the boat. The
woman dropped the weapon and at
tempted to escape by rowing across
the river. She refused to stop when
ordered to do SO by the officers and
upon her refusal to stop the police
fired volley. One shot struck the
girl in the face and she died later
in the hospital. After the girl was
wounded the woman surrendered.
She claimed to be the mother of the
children

STANDARD
OIL PROFITS
EVIDENCE IN FEDERAL SUIT DIS
CLOSED TREMENDOUS PROF.
ITS IN MIDDLE STATES.
PRICE CUTTING TO UNDERSELL
COMPETITORS DENIED BY
STANDARD OFFICIALS,

New York, Dec. 7.-Figures show
ing some of the profits of the Stand
ard Oil Co., became part of the
records of the federal suit to dis
solve the Standard Oil Co., of New
Jersey, when John d. Archibald re-
sumed the stand for brief exami-
nation and Tilford, president of the
Standard Oil Co., Of California testi-
fed at some length for the defense.
The figures submitted showed that
in the middle west profit of lis
per cent had been made on a capt.
tai of 100000 and that the Stand
ard Oil Co., of Indiana, on capt.
talization of $1,OOO,0OO had earned
about s55,0O0,OOO between 1899
and 1906.
The counsel for the government
tried to prove by Tilford that in
California and other western states
the Standard made contracts with
it's competitors whereby it obtained
all the crude oil supply. Referring
to oil trade cutting in Colorado and
elsewhere, Ti!ford sand that the
Standard never cut prices to under
sell its competitors, but lowered the
,ates to meet the reductions of it's
rivals.
Either William Rockefeller or
Frank Moffet will be called tomor-

Attorney w. G. Porter for the
Milwaukee railroad will be in Chi
cago tomorrow. His representation
of the Milwaukee is representa-
tion of seven roads, all of whom
have brought cases. By tacit agree
ment, the Milwaukee case is prose
| cuted as test case.
Attorney P. w. Dougherty, of Dell
Rapids, for the railway commission,
will take part in the hearing before
j. Howard Gates, appointed special
master by Judge Garland. Mr..
Gates has already left for Chicago.
William Wallace, of Aberdeen, also
goes to Chicago as stenographer to
take the testimony.
The roads represented by the Mil
waukee, which is the largest mileage
owner in the state, are the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy, the Rock Is
land, the Minneapolis & st. Louis,
the Northwestern, the Pierre, Rapid
City & Northwestern, and the White
River Valley. Cases have been filed
by all these roads, and temporary
injunctions against the commissions
order have been granted.
The cases were taken into federal
court directly, without remedy in the
state courts, because, it is stated by
the railroad attorneys, they involved
valuation of over $4,000, and i'm
plicated diversity of residence.
There is no provision in the state
statutes giving the railroads relief
in the state courts, and there will
probably be no action taken in this
regard until after the decision in
federal court, as to whether the
commissions order of the " cent
rate can be regarded as confiscation
Of property, and in violation of the
fourteenth amendment.

THE CROUCH
Line SUED.
IN THE FEDERAL COURT AT
SIOUX FALLS BY THE UNITED
STATES GOVERNMENT.
ALLEGED THAT $e,175 IS DUE
FOR PINE TIMBER BURNED
BY FOREST FIRES.

Sioux Falls, Dec. 7.-Bankrupt
and for sale, the Missouri River &
Northwestern railway. best known
as the Crouch railroad, in the Black
Hills, is now being sued by Uncle
Sam for $6,175. for burned pine
timber in the Black Hills forest re-
serve. And not only does Uncle
Sam want judgment for that
amount, but he wants his claim pre-
ferred above those of the other cred
itors of the bankrupt road.
The claim is made because the
railroad officials did not properly
provide a 'spark-preventer" for one
of the engines.
The action is entitled "The United
States of America VS.. G. o. Bailey,
receiver of the Missouri River &
Northwestern Railway company,
corporation" and is brought by
United States District Attorney E.
b. Wagner, at the instigation of the
federal attorney general.
The case mentions the present
foreclosure proceedings in the sew
enth judicial circuit in Pennington
county, stating that the road Is un-
der action foreclosing certain bonds.
That Clarence d. Crouch, Vern E.
Crouch, and c. o. Bailey, were re-
ceivers for the bankrupt road to
May 10, 1908, when G. o. Bailey
alone was appointed to act as re-
ceiver, is stated. 1t was on G. O.
Bailey, of Sioux Falls, the summons
was served in the federal court case.
The road is extended and operated
only within the Pennington county
limits.
That the carelessness of the In
solvent road on April 20, 1908, was
responsible for the burning Of 1000
acres of Uncle Sans choicest pine
timber in the Black Hills forest re-
serve, is charged. 1t is stated the
company allowed dry grass and
other combustible and inflammable
material to collect on the right of
way, and that escaping sparks from
locomotive set the fire which de-
stroyed choice timber to Uncle Sans
damage in the sum of $6,175.
The federal indictment charges
that claim was made on G. o.
Bailey for the amount of the dam
age, claiming carelessness on the
part Of the road officials in allowing
the dry grass on the right Of way
and in not providing proper spark
preventers" for the locomotive.
That this claim of the government
over the other creditors of the bank
rupt road be preferred over other
claims is another demand in the
Judgment asked, because the actlon
is brought on damage inside the time
OF insolvency of the road, and is
considered running expense under
the bankruptcy proceeding.
1t is claimed by the attorneys that
the claim is asked preferred under
the statutes, as the damaging fire
occurred since the road had been de-
clared bankrupt. Interest on the
$6,175 is also asked, from April 20,
1908.

HoMEsTAKE GAINING DEPTH.
Only Two Out of Six Shafts Less
Than 1000 Feet DceD,

Lead, S. d., Dec. Sunday the
north cage in the Star shaft began
making trips to the ! 1,250-foot level
and at the same time work of re-
moving the bulk-heads in the ELI
son, below the 1850 level, was un-
dertaken These bulkheads were
placed below that level for the sake
of safety, while the miners were en-
gagged in sinking the shaft below.
1t is expected that by tomorrow,
or within a few days at the latest,
the big cage at the Ellison will be
dropping to the 1,700-foot level,
which is the greatest depth yet at
tanned in the great mine. A station
has been cut at the LOO level and
two drifts run distance of approx
imately 100 feet each. Both of these
is said, cross cut the ore body
and it would not be surprising if
ore was hoisted from the 200 with
in few weeks.
1t is rumored that the Ellison will
be sunk to the 1850 level, the work
10 be taken up soon. ThlS would not
be surprising, as for the past several
years the winter months have been
utilized for sinking in the several
shafts of the company.
The big cage dropping to the 1,7OO
will do away with the use of the
little donkey" engine which has
been utilized to raise and lower the
| men and hoist dirt from the Lowest
level. This little engine was placed
on the 1850. 1t will probably be
taken to the LOO and again used il

Washington, December s. To

success in 1912, prominent demo-
Gratis from many states are gather

in a session of the National Demo-
cratic League.
Chairman William C. Liller de-
clares that meeting has not been

I'd that it is the purpose of the league
to maintain intact the organization
now existing and to strengthen t.e
league so as to eliminate the work of
reorganization at the beginning OF
each campaign.
The democratic party, while dis,
appointed over the result of the cleo
ton, has much cause for elation,,'
said Colonel Liller. The party is
now united more thoroughly than al
any time since 1892. It's recent de-
feat has not dampened the enthusi

them to the necessity Of proper or

THE BROWNSVILLE HEARING.
Case Will Be Threshed Out Before
the Supreme Court.


Washington, Dec. S.-The bloody
affray at Brownville, Texas, which
resulted by the discharge from the
army, by President Roosevelt, of the
negro troops alleged to have been
implicated will come up for hearing
again today before the United States
Supreme court. At today's hearing
the members of the supreme bench
will listen to arguments in the case
of the former negro soldier, Oscar
Reid, who was dismissed from the
service without honor on account of
his alleged implication in the Brown
Vile affair.
The suit was instituted by Reid
in the United States Circuit Court
for Southern New York for pay dur
ing the time of his enlistment The
verdict of that court was against him
and he brought an appeal to the
supreme court on the ground that
the President had exceeded his con-
stiututional power in dismissing the
three companies without a trial by
court martial.
In the case Of negro soldiers who
have applied for re-enlistment in the
army, measures to permit such ac-
ton will probably be considered by
Congress. One of these applications
is from Sergeant Mingo Sanders, a
member of the discharged battalion
Of the twenty-fifth infantry, who has
had thirty years service in the army.
1t is understood the president dis
approved the application on the gen
eral ground that the negro has not
produced sufficient or satisfactory
proof of his innocence, and that hav-
ing failed to do SO within three
months of his discharge, the statute
governing such cases restrains the
president from acting. He takes the
ground that bills now pending be-
fore the senate propose giving him
authority to reenlist soldiers of the
twenty-fifth regiment, and some
measure will probably be enacted at
the next session of congress.
