Spaniards Defeated in Fierce Battle
in Morocco.

Madrid, July 30.-Official dispatches
received here admit that the battle
between the Moorish tribesmen and
the Spanish forces outside of Melilla
July 21 was disastrous defeat The
Moors cut off the communications
with the Spanish outposts and the
main force of the Spaniards was driv-

where fighting continued desperately.
The Spanish killed and wounded num-
bered almost 1900, which takes no ac-
count of the men at the advance posts

wounded men.
The extent of the disaster Is plain

ION July 27 the Moors cut the rail-
road, severing communications with
our outposts. Our batteries shelled
the Moors, but the advance posts
were endangered and they had to be
abandoned. The situation at Melilla
is grave, despite the desperate brav-

"Our losses in the engagement

Washington, July 30-As a result
of an interview which members of the
conference committee of the two hous-

Taft the president has notified the
conference committee in writing that
he could not accept rate exceeding
$1.25 on rough lumber, and that he
would insist upon the senate rates on
gloves and hosiery.
When the presidents visitors pre-
sented the compromise figures on lum-

been agreed upon by the committee,

Instead of communicating his views
to individual members of the commit

communication was read to the con-

the president told the conferees that
he felt that the pledges of the party
required this.
Disputed Subjects Reopened.
The transmission of the presidents
views had the effect of reopening of
all these subjects and much doubt at
once arose in the minds of the confer
ees as to when the end might be ar
rived at Mr.. Aldrich told some of the
Democrats that probably they would
not be summoned again before Satur-
day or Sunday. Other members OF
the conference expressed even more
doubt as to the length of time that

There is some apprehension that
there will be great difficulty in bring

Will be Pushed Through by Senate
Leaders.
Washington. June 23. Before
the senate considers President
Taft's program for the taxing Of the
earnings of corporations, the lead
ers will know how every member in
tends to vote. The most accurate
poll that can be made will be hand
ed to Senator Aldrich tomorrow.
The fact is that republican house
leaders assured the president that
the amendment would meet with
favor and all possibility of its de-
feat is precluded. Attorney General
Wickersham and Senator Root were
in conference today and 1t is safe
to predict that the measure, when
presented to the senate will be
amendment proof All amend
ments that may be offered will be
resisted by the leaders. Senator
Bailey and Cummins are preparing
to force the income tax measure and
intend if possible to secure direct
vote on the question.

THE LITTLE DEMON
Surprised Even the Old Fire
Fighters.

Fighters.
The fire fighting exhibition given
by the Wasta fire department at
O'Clock in front of the Harney ho-
tel was really the biggest hit of the
tournament. A claim shack, 9x9N12,
was erected for the occasion and
filled with lumber, boxes, excelsior
and all the inflammable material
the boys could procure. Twenty
gallons Of kerosene was then poured
on, thoroughly saturating the con-
tents. A lighted match was thrown
on and the flames mounted high in
to the heavens. An alarm was
turned in and the Wasta department
made thrilling run of two blocks.
At the time the engine arrived the
fire was so hot it drove the bystand-
ers back half block and occasional
remarks were heard along the line
of sightseers. "They will never
put out that fire. Some suggested
attaching line of hose to protect
adjoining property, but Charles
Hunts fire fighters ate it alive. In
side of three minutes from the time
The engine arrived at the fire it was
as balck as your hat. Chief Hunt
is deserving of great deal of
praise for the creditable showing
his boys made. Their exhibition
just goes to- show that every town
that -is at all up-to-date or pro-
gressive should have a chemical en-
gine. The engine used by the Wasta
department was manufactured by
The Northern Fire Apparatus com
pany Of Minneapolis, who have an
engine on display at the Harvey ho-
ted during the tournament.
Frequent remarks were made by
prominent business men of Rapid
City that they would never allow the
engine on exhibition to be shipped
back. 1--WE want 1t for an addition
to our fire fighting apparatus"

contested, especially the 2OO-yard
dash for the firemen only. In this
race appeared an Indian named
White (Long Ears) who put up a
game struggle for first place only to
be beaten by head by Stoland, of
Vermillion, and finally tieing with
Myers, of Lead, for second place.
The Mt. Vernon team, with Vermil-
lion out in two events, carried off
the honors of the afternoon, captur-
ing first in the championship hook
and ladder race and also first in the
chiefs foot race of 100 yards.

events is as follows,
Champion hook and ladder race
First, Mt. Vernon; second, Lead;
third, Huron; time 80 2-5, "a,

Firemen's foot race, 200 yards
First, Stoland, of Vermtllion; second,
White, of Rapid City, and Meyers,
of Lead (tied); time 21 AS, 90.
Single coupling contest-First,

Mt. Vernon; time S, AS, 4.
Championship hose race-First,
Parkston; second, Parker; third,
Lead; time, 301-5, 81, 33.
Just at dark the tie for second
place in the 200-yard dash was run
IF by Jean Long Ears and Meyers,
+ Lead. For some time Meyers re-
used to meet the Indian, who was
luietly waiting at the starting line.
inally his friends persuaded him
dress-for the contest. Several hun
red dollars were bet at even money
the first race Long Ears had the
itreme right of the line and got
! poor start, but in the second
rial he was not handicapped. At
re pistol both runners made an
ven start and before fifty yards had
been run Meyers was leading. He
increased his pace as he neared the
l00-yard mark and at $50 yards was
leading by about eight yards.
Meyers friends began to cheer him
as the winner, but Long Ears was
still in the race. With a tremend-
Gus burst of speed he came up even
with the flying Meyers twenty yards
from the tape, ran him neck and
neck for ten yards and finished an
easy winner in twenty-five seconds.
Meyers was pretty we'll winded at
the conclusion of the race but Long
Ears looked fit to run another 200
yards.
Long Ears is full blood Grow
Indian and is at the government
school. He has already distin-
guished himself as a middle distance
runner and basket ball player.
Last evening several men, who
have confidence in the Indian offered
70 bet $500 even that Long Ears can
oeat Stoland, of Vermillion,. in a 22O
yard dash. 1t seems likely that the
race will be pulled off this evening.
