Attacked by Il Brute.

There is considerable feeling
among the friends of a young lady
of T%erraville, who had an encounter
with a brute in the Homestake tun-
mel between Lead and Terraville
Wednesday evening. Kut for the
timely interference of a man who
happened along, hearl the cries Of
the young woma and naslencd to
her aid, she wou.1 have been
roughly handled.
The story of the young woman, as
neal as can be learned, is as fol-
was delayed in starting for home,
but thought nothing OF ihis, as she
had often gone through the tunnel,
leaving Lead after dark. She had
travelled about hall way through
the underground passage when she
was suddenly attacked ny a mar
who had evidently been standing to
one side in the tunnel. Although
greatly surprised by the %sudlnnness
Of the assault, he lady put up a
.tif esht and s"rce n!el in breaking
the hold of the Drntn. She tried to
evade him and ascana, but he soon
overlook her an Il desperate strug-
gle ensued. The a who is des-
cribed as a barry brute, hal al the
better of the az, !'n"rt and the girI.
realizing that he: strength was about
exhausted, screamed for help. For
t|unate. help was nj hand, a Learhy
workman %hurrying to the rescue and
the assailant hlrriei Off in the Ga,k,
king good his escape.
The Young Lady has suffered great
agnny of mind as a result of the en-
counter and has been extremely ner-
vuus ever since, but otherwise was
uniniured. The lady claims to have
obtained a good view Of the mans
face and said she never saw him be-
fore, but believes she could identify

Political Situation.

Washington, April 25.-Next
week will be the busiest since the
1908 campaign vas opened, if the
number of state conventions to be
held throughout the country affords
any criterion. While most of these
gatherings may be safely forecasted,
as to their presidential preference, a
few surprises are likely to develop.
While no state conventions are
scheduled for Monday, there will be
several important meetings and ban
quets of a political nature in various
parts of the country. Grants birth
day will be observed by many patri-
otto bodies in the large cities of the
land. One of the most important
of these will be the Grant Day dinner
in Pittsburg, when Senator P. G.
Knox, Pennsylvania's candidate for
presidency. will deliver the principal
address. Secretary Taft will begin the
week in Connecticut, and on Tuesday
speak before the Civic Forum. He
has chosen for his subject on this oc-
casion The Influence Of America on
Popular Government in the World
The independence League will hold
its second annual banquet in New
York on Monday evening, and it is
expected that William Randolph
Hearst will take advantage Of the oc-
casion to announce some of the plans
Of his new political organization.
Republican state conventions, to
select delegates at large to Chicago
will be held on Tuesday in Arkansas
Colorado and South Carolina, while
republican primaries will be held in
New Jersey and the District Of
Columbia. Democratic state conven,
tons, at which the Denver delega
tons will be selected, are to be helt
on the same day in New Jersey ant
Connecticut.
The Colorado convention will b.
held in Pueblo, and is certain to in
struct its delegates for Secretar,
Taft. While some of the negro vo

South Carolina, where most of tn
white republicans look upon Tat
as the logical successor of Presiden
Roosevelt. The primaries in Ne,
Jersey and the District of Columbi
are also likely to be to Taft's advar
tage in the presidential race.

ALL RIDING FREE.
Cleveland Celebrating the Settlement
of the Traction Fight.

Cleveland, Ohio, April 2S.-Cleve-
land today is celebrating the bring
ing about of traction peace and the
establishment of a Scent fare on all
the street car lines and the giving of
transfers. For twenty-four hours,
beginning with last night, the city, is
riding free, the cash register having
been disconnected last night.
For the first time in the history of
the city the street car service was
absolutely free and today not a fare
has been run up on any car operat-
ing within the city limits. Such ac-
ton was decided upon last night af-
ter the papers had been signed which
ended the long street car war, and it
was SO decided in order that the peo-
pie might properly celebrate the oc-
casion and the victory won by the
city.

$4,000 of outstanding state general
fund warrants for the 9th of this

With the other calls made since the
first of March has taken up $525,000

SOUTHWEST GEES DECREASE
Interstate Commerce Commission
Lowers Freight Rates.

Washington, d. c., April "a. An
other decision was handed down by
the interstate commerce commission
today, involving the whole fabric
of rates from the southwest and from
the Trans-Missouri country to the
great stock markets. The commits
sion insists that the advance in rates
made in 1903 OF from one-half
cent to five cents per 100 pounds
were excessive and unwarranted, and
ought not to have been made.
The commission took a vast
amount of testimony in these cases,
and decided against the roads, bet
as TO the general advance OF fTeight
rates, and as 10 the increase from
81 to 81 in the terminal charge Al
Chicago. The railroads later III
dertook to present the claim taat re-
cent business conditions would jas
tify the advanced rates. but this Ger.
tention is rejected in the decision
made today.
Under the decision the stock ship.
pers will be saved an aggregate o
some millions of dollars per aEnu1
in rates. More than this the decision
holds that in charging the rate:
for several years the roads have
been guilty of %extortion, and open

thought to favor an uninstructed
delegation to Denver. Both Judge
Gray and Governor johnson have
many admirers in Jersey and they
VIII fight any attempt to pledge the
state delegation to the Nebraska
statesman. In Connecticut, too, there
is considerable opposition to Bryan,
which may result in an %unpledged
delegation.
Five republican state conventions
will be held on Wednesday, that of
PENNSYLVANIA at Harrisburg, YER
mont at Burlington, Mississippi at
Jackson, West Virginia at Parkers-
burg and the Davidson faction Of
Alabama at Birmingham. Pennsyl-
vania's convention will be notable as
marking the formal launching of the
presidential boom of Senator Phi
lander c. Knox. Taft will probably
receive the Endorsement of the Yer
mont convention and that of West
Virginia. Mississippi's delegation
Will likely be uninstructed, but fav-
orable to Taft, since the administra-
ton forces are apparently in control
OF the situation. The Alabama con-
vention will be that of the Davidson,
or anti-Roosevelt faction, and will
probably support Foraker. The
Roosevelt faction in Alabama will
hold a convention later, and there
VIII be contesting delegations from
Alabama to the Chicago convention.
THE Maryland republican state
convention will be held in Baltimore
on Thursday, and while the delega-
ton may be left uninstructed it
will doubtless swing into line for
Taft when the roll is called at the
national convention. The Maine
convention, which will be held in
Portland on the same day, is also
claimed by the Taft adherents, al
though this is denied in other quar-
tiers. North Cardinals white republi-
cans are Taft boomers, almost to a
man, and the state convention in
Greensboro is expected to take action
which will result in a Taft delega-
ton TO Chicago.
Two Taft delegates will be elected
to represent Alaska in the republi-
can national convention, in a ter
ritorial convention to be held in
ketchiken next Saturday. Another
important political event scheduled
for next Saturday is the special
democratic primary in Texas, when
the principal question to be decided
is whether United States Senator J,
w. Bailey will be sent to Denver as
one OF the representatives of the
Lone Star state in the national con
Vention. THE anti-Bailey campaign
has been carried on with great bit.
terness and the result, which will
so far toward deciding the politica,
fate of the brilliant Texas senator
is eagerly awaited in the nationa,

it's inception was marked by much
enthusiasm for Roosevelt and Taft,
This feeling is not shared, however,
by the representatives of the cOlored
voters, but it is likely that the dele

the protest of the negroes.

Deadwood, April 24.-The violent.
heavy rain which visited the Black
Hills country yesterday did consider
able damage to roads and railroad
right-of-way. At a point neal Iron

from Spearfish. The train from
Spearfish was not SEN out today
Immediately upon receipt of the
news section forces were put at work
on the road to clear the track, and il
is thought that thv road Will bt
open for train service tomorrow.
At a point this side of Terry the
road is blocked by landslide, making
it impossible to lun the ore trains
until the roadDed is opened up. The
wagon road from the Imperial mill
to the old sn elter is washed out,
and a number of other sections OF
road in these parts suffered to a
lesser extent. The storm was the
worst for a number of years.

Presho, S. D., April 24.-Two
Sioux warriors visited the town of
Presho, west of the Missouri river,
for the purpose of purchasing a
coffin for an Indian who yet is in the
land of the living. The two warriors
belong on the Rosebud reservation
and made the long journey to Presho
for the purpose OF purchasing the

Square Deal for Indians.

RlFerSlue, CAL, April "a
movement to give the Indians of the
far West a square deal and to pro-
tect them from the rapacity of the
land-grabbers and politicians was
launched here today at an interstate
conference of heads of Indian tribes,
well known educators and phiian-
thropists.
The greatest object of the Gomez
ence, which will continue through
three days, is to open the eyes of the
interior department and of the peo-
pie to the utter incapability of the
Indians to compete in a commercial
way with their white neighbors. DR..
David Starr johnson, president of
Stanford University, is one of the
leaders in the movement.
1t is declared hat thousands of
western Indians are now landless and
homeless, and on the point Of starva-
ton, because of their inability to cope
with the INSCRIPTIONS whites who
have robbed them Of their posses
sions. 1t is admitted that the effort
to educate the Indians to the stand
ards of white mems civilization,
while successful in some instances,
has been largely a failure ard that
other methods of conserving the in
%terests of the native Americans will
have to be devised.
A state convention Of the Cali
fornia Fruit Growers Association
was also opened hete today and has
attracted a large number of dele.
gates. The session Will last four
Days.

HERRICK MAY SEEK
A WNDICATION

Cleveland, o., Nov. 8.-Consider-
ing the issues involved in the recent
election and the outcome Of the con-
test between Governor Andrew L.
Harris and Governor-elect Judson
Harmon, the Republican leaders are
already casting about to repair the
damage. The result is set down as a
complete vindication for former Gov
ernor Myron T. Herrick, of this city,
who was defeated in 1905 for a second
term because of his position upon
temperance questions. 1t Is asserted
that ne was grossly misrepresented by
the Anti-Saloon league and was not
given the proper support by the llber-
al element, who did not dream at that
time that there was danger in the sit
uation. Only one side was heard,
and as consequence disaster follow
ed. There has been launched a move
ment to renomlnate Governor Herrick
in 1910. in order to make his vindica-
ton substantial and complete.
The former Governor, it is known,
values this vote Of confidence more
than the United States senatorship
or cabinet position, for both of
which he has been mentioned.
