SHOT IN THE BACK
Is the Theory of the Prosecution in
the Carmack Casa

ulc SaaFIluCk SASc.
Nashville, Tenn, March 15.-
The case against the Coopers and
Sharpe, charged with the murder
of Senator Carmack, will likely go
to the jury tomorrow. Judge Hart
announced today, after the close Of
the argument, that he hoped to have
his instructions ready by that time.
Attorney McCarn, for the prose
cution, said, II will show you by
physical facts that Senator Carmack
was shot In the back. Don't for
get that they ask our theory. Well,
gentlemen, may be this bullet, which
came out of Carmack's mouth en-
tered his back, and these men were
not only assassins of Carmack but
cowardly assassins. The fact is that
the doctors tell you Carmack could
not do anything after he was shot
In the back. Do you know, l think
that is why they shot him from be-
hind" AS to the law of reasonable
doubt, he said, "If you doubt the
guilt of these men, turn them loose,
but If you believe that it is against
the law OF Tennessee to go behind
a man and kill him because he wrote
bantering editorials, then l ask you
to say so by your verdict"

TO CONTEST MINERAL CLAIMS
Mining Men Interested in Cases to
be Heard Here April IL.

Mining Men Interested in Cases to
be Heard Here April 12.
Deadwood, S. D., March 1G.-
Some of the questions which have
arisen between the forestry service
and the locators of mineral claims
Will be threshed out shortly, when
between twenty-five and thirty cases
VIII come up in the land office at
Rapid City, the first date set being
that of April 18th.
Mr.. A. B. Yorke, of WASHINGTON
City, special agent for the land Of
fice, was an arrival in this city yes
terday and will have charge Of the
government side of the controversy.
Mr.. York is lawyer with twelve
years experience in the capital city,
and will be engaged from now until
these cases come up for trial in look
ing up these matters, many of which
Will prove of interest.
While there have been a few scat
tered cases of this nature which have
been heard hitherto, yet this is the
first time that any large number of
them have come at the same time
in this section for trial. This does
not mean that the government is at
tempting general cleaning up of
such matters, but simply that there
are number of cases which have
been reported upon adversely by the
forestry officials.
These cases will include chiefly
those in which locators have taken
up mineral claims without the neces-
sary discovery previous to the loca-
ton. The validity of such location
when within the government forest
reserves is being questioned by the
department. One of the very inter-
esting situations which will doubt
less arise In number of instances,
Will be that of locator on whose
claim there was no discovery at the
time he located, but who, subse-
quently discovered mineral on this
same ground. 1t will likely be
claimed that such subsequent dis
covery will entitle the locator to
hold the ground; while on the other
hand, the law states very definitely
that there must be a discovery be-
fore any valid location can be made
Many dispositions will be taken in
the next few weeks from interested
people in various parts of the Hills
and the outcome of these cases to
come up at Rapid City, April 18th
will be watched with much interest

AN UPRISING
AGAIN IN CUBA
SIX WEEKS AFTER INAUGURA-
TION OF GOMEZ RURAL
GUARDS TOOK TO WOODS.
CUBAN PRESIDENT ORDERED
ALL NIUTINOUS GUARDS
KILLED OR CAPTURED.

Havana, March 16.-The first
real uprising against the new Cuban
republic occurred last night, within
six weeks after the inauguration of
President Gomez Sergeant Cortez
and seven men, of the rural guards
at Vueltas, Santa Clara province,
started an insurrectionary move
ment and the indications point to a
widespread conspiracy. President
Gomez ordered the concentration Of
troops in the vicinity of Vueltas
and gave orders to take no prisoners
If resistance was encountered. Per-
suit will not be abandoned until a.4
are either killed or. captured.
Later it was leared that q con-
spiracy was unearthed in which the
rural guard is implicated. A for
mer captain Of the guard, Lavastida
by name, and Corporal Richardo
and two citizens were arrested,
charged with completely in the insur-
rectionary movement. The district
is strongly liberal and it is said
that dissatisfaction is widespread
over the distribution Of the offices in
Santa Clara province, the home of
Gomez.
No direct news is available from
the disturbed districts as the govern
ment controls the wire. 1t is known
that the disipline in the guard has
been impaired since the withdraw
OF American officers and an attempt
has been made to draft number
of regular army officers. 1t is ru-
mored that Col. Vallo, recently dis
missed from the guard, has risen
In Orcente at the head of 200 men,
but the truth of this is doubted.

A POLICEMAN
MURDERED
JOSEPH PETROsINo, NEW YORK
POLICE LIEUTENANT, KILLED
AT PALMERo, ITALY.
THE CRIME is LAID AT DOOR
OF THE BLACK HAND SOCIETY
OF ITALIANS.

New York, March 13.-The as
sassination in Palmero, Italy, of
Lieutenant Joseph Petrosino, of the
New York police, has stirred up the
police of this country. He was shot
and killed early last evening near
his hotel by an unknown assassin.
Petrosini was the BLACK hand"
expert of the New York police de-
partment and had been sent to Italy,
his native land, to establish bureaus
through which news could be sent
TO America when criminals sailed,
so that their landing could be pre-
vented or they could be placed un-
der arrest upon arrival. 1t is be-
lieved that he was killed by some
member of an Italian criminal So
ciety. Petrosini is said to have had
more convictions of murderers to
his credit than any other five officers
in New York.
1t is hoped that the murder will
result in closer cooperation of
the italian government with this
country in barring criminals out of
he, United States and deporting
many who are now here.

SUSPECTS Arrested.

Ft. Collins, Colo, March IT,
John Potts, living hermit life in
lone cabin 25 miles from here, and
e. ]. st. Clair, cowboy, were ar
rested tonight on the charge of
holding up the Denver G. Rio Grande
passenger train east bound at Mill
tary Junction, just outside Denver
some weeks ago. The local police
have had the men under surveillance
for over two weeks. P. o. Inspec-
tor Mckee, and detective Leyden
and Uslick, of Denver, were sent for
as the local officers expected resist
ance. but in this they were disap-
pointed.
Another arrest was made at
Livermore late tonight and another
man and woman are under suspicion.
The perpetration Of the daring rob
berry was supposed to have been
caused by the sending OF 100000
of gold bullion from the San Fran
cisco to the Denver mint, but the
bullion was sent over another route
and the robbers secured only nom.
inal sum.

SOME TARIFF ANTICIPATION.
Tariff on Lumber to be Reduced
from Two Dollars to One.

Tariff on Lumber to be Reduced
from Two Dollars to One.
Washington, March 13.- Among
the changes In the tariff that are
expected by we'll informed congress-
men, is cut In lumber from So to
81. On coal there are radical diff
ferences. One coterie advocates a
reciprocal arrangement with Canada
and another is opposed to it. Glass
and manufacturers thereof are pref
ty sure to suffer a substantial reduc-
tion, as 1t is understood the glass
trust has something closely ap-
preaching monopoly of the home
market and is making large profits.
Textiles also will show reductions,
though with careful discrimination.
1t may be taken for granted that
the textile men have little fear from
revision, as the revenue from tex
tiles is too large to lose. The raw
wool men may lose little and wool
men will Ne trimmed some; but
both interests could stand q sizeable
cut without being imperilled. So
strong is the popular demand that
raw materials will suffer the great
est cut; for the committee will not
dare to resist the pressure of pub
lie opinion. especially as 1t has been
shown In the hearings that the du-
ties on hides. lumber, coal and some
other articles were either inopera-
tive or not needed.
AS the tariff bill stands now, cof-
fee remains on the free list and the
provision relating. to special taxa
rtion has not been agreed upon. The
inheritance tax probably will be in
the bill but the ways and means
committee has not agreed on this
or the proposition to tax checks,
bonds and stocks, the entire matter
still being open. Treasury officials
oppose coffee tax, believing it will
not prove a revenue producer.

THE CASES ARE
NOT SIMILAR
ATTONEY GENERAL CLARK OF
SOUTH DAKOTA DISCUSSES
LOW RATE DECISION.
DECLARES JUDGE M,PHERsoN,s
DECISION SETS NO PREOE-
DENT FOR OTHERS.

Redfeld, S. D., March 11.-"The
decision by Judge Smith Mcpherson
in the Missouri 2-cent fare case nei.
ther decides the suits brought
against two-cent fare laws In other
states of the middle west nor Gre
ates precedent for them" declared
Attorney General 8. w. Clark, OF
South Dakota. when asked for a
statement concerning the decision
against Missouri's reduced passen-
ger rate.
''The 2-cent fare case is truly a
local ISSUE" he went on. "Just as
conditions are alike in no two states,
no two cases involving the constitu-
tionality of the 2-cent fare are alike.
ut is easily possible that 2-cent
rate would not be sufficiently remu-
nerative in Missouri, but it would be
In South Dakota. The mere fact
that Missouri has five or six times
the population of South Dakota is
not material. 1t is quite possible
that, in proportion to the population
there is larger railroad mileage
in Missouri than in South Dakota.
Again, it may be that larger
amount of travelling is done by
South Dakota people. Again it Is
probably true that in Missouri, where
there are more railroads and there
fore there is more competition, it is
necessary to run more expensive
trains. Furthermore it may be that
because of competition, trains are
run more frequently in Missouri than
In South Dakota, in respect to the
patronage meaning larger passen-
ger loads in this state, and, there
fore, lower proportion of operat-
ing expenses. All these elements
enter into the question, and so it is
that each case must have its own
case adjudicated before it can know
what rate its people are to have.
Zone of the cases that arises in
the consideration of the constitu-
tionality Of a two-cent fare is the
allowance to be made for interstate
business. One theory is Fhat a
passenger ticket from Sioux City
to Aberdeen should not be taken in
to consideration, because the trip is
begun six miles outside of the state.
1t is the clai lmof the state, of
course, that the South Dakota pro-
portion of interstate business should
be included in the railroad income.
1t is not clear to me from Judge Nc
Pherson's opinion, or the newspaper
reports of it, just how he disposed of
this question. The courts have held
both ways on it.
eve are not bit discouraged in
our case by the Mcpherson opinion,
but we will press the states right to
q 2-cent fare just as vigorously as
ever before Judge Garland. No new
principle has been laid down by
Judge MCPHERSON, and If he has
found the rate valid, it would have
had no significance in South Dako-
ta."

MILITARY ACTIVITY DENIED
Nicaragua Minister Talks but Wash.
ingtOn Does Not Believe.


Washington, March Is Nicara-
qua, through Minister Espinoza,
protested to Secretary Knox today
that the military and naval activity
was entirely for defensive pur-
poses; that 1t did not contemplate
an attack on its sister republics and
that internal conditions were quiet.
Nevertheless the administration de-
cided to increase the naval force to
six vessels.
Word has been received that about
5000 Nicaraguan troops have been
located near the Honduran frontier,
the chief activity being in the vicn-
ity of Coranto where are also con-
centrated four gunboats and other
craft
The department is displeased with
the treatment accorded TO John H.
Gregory, secretary of the legation
at Manaua. The department will
not act hastily but may send speci-
al commission to Central America to
try and arrange an understanding
Governor Magoon may be named for
the mission.

RECORDING LARGE MORTGAGE
Is the First Use of Loose Leaf Led
gers in Register of Deeds Office.


A million dollar mortgage, given
by the United States Gypsum Com
pany to the Federal Trust and Saw
ings Bank, trustee, is the first doc
ument to be recorded in the Pen
nington county register of deeds Of
flee in the new loose leaf ledgers.
The United States Gypsum Company
is the owner of the stucco mill,
short distance west of this city,
and the mortgage has to be record
ed in the counties where each of
the company's AZ plants are 10
Gated. The mortgage is to secure
an issue of five hundred $1,000
bonds and one thousand $500 bonds,
covers II pages of printed matter
and cost about $35 to have it re-
corded in this county.
The new loose leaf ledger system
was secured by Register of Deeds
John E. HALEY, with the consent
of the board Of county commission
ers, from Perkins Bros, printers
and stationers at Sioux City, and
certainly is an improvement on the
old system, both in the saving of
time and the appearance of the rec
ords. A new, visible 14-inch car
riage Remington typewriter is used
for the work. The books are so ar
ranged that Mr.. HALEY unlocks them
with key in order to take out
sheets for recording papers, and
when they are filled they will be
permanently locked SO that after
that it will be impossible to alb
stract any sheets without tearing
them out.
