got sore, and yellow water came out
of them. I had. two doctors treat her,

LAST CHANGE
SALOON CLOSED
CONTINUOUS TROUBLE AND AF-
FRAY LAST NIGHT CAUSED
THE ORDER.
MAYOR WOOD STATED THAT HE
WOULD ASK THE COUNCIL TO
REVOKE THE LICENSE.

y ! e
The Last Chance saloon was closed
last night shortly before nine
o'clock, upon the personal order Of
Mayor Chauncey L. Wood. For
some time there have been COM
plants of fights and trouble in the
saloon and last night Charles Starr,
a young man about % who has been
around the city for some months,
made a gun play there, which re-
suited in the closing order. Starr
is alleged to be user Of the "hop''
and after some words he shot
hole through one of the plate glass
windows and put a shot or two in
the floor.
Starr was arrested and placed in
the city Jail, but was later released
on bond for his appearance at police
court today. Under ordinary cir
cumstances he is said to be a very
peaccable fellow.
Mayor Wood went to the Last
Chance and personally saw to the
closing, which he stated was at pres
ent temporary. However. he All
that he would call a special session
Of the, council and ask that the
license DE revoked. The license
was granted to Roy Ellerman, who
moved back to Piedmont several
months ago, and the place has been
run by Fay Gentry for some time.

Claims for WoIf Rountv.

Pierre, April 24.-Up to the pres
ent date claims for wolf bounty
amounting to $1,000 have been filed
with the state auditor. This amount
Is practically what it was at the
same date last year when the hold
ers of certificates got about 70 cents
on the dollar on their claims, which
must be pro-rated on the amount
of the appropriation, which is 3d.
600 a year. The rush of claims
comes when the young wolves are
being dug out of their dens in the
spring, and this year will undoubted-
ly be in the same class, and the rest
of the total amount will easily be
called for with enough over to cut
the claims below par.

BIG saw MILL
DESTROYED
THE SCENE OF A FIFTY
THOUSAND DOLLAR FIRE EAR
LY MONDAY MORNING.
MCLAUGHLIN TIE 4 TIMBER COM.
PANY's BIG PLANT WAS
TOTALLY DESTROYED.

Lead, April 26.-The Mclaughlin
Tie & Timber Company's saw min
at Nahant was totally destroyed by
fire at $3.50 o'clock this morning,
and the loss is estimated at $780,
900, practically covered by insur-
ance.
The reflection was clearly visible
in Lead, and occasioned false
alarm of fire being turned into the
Lead department.
Night Waterman H. S. French
discovered the blaze when he entered
the saw mill after having inspected
the planning plant. The fire was in
the immediate vicinity of the boilers.
Mr.. French turned in the fire
alarm and workmen employed lin
the mills fought the flames without
success. There was sufficient pres
sure of water, but the Roadway
gained by the flames made it impos-
sible to check its progress.
Four box cars and two flats on the
siding were consumed. One of the
cars was loaded with ties. The dan
ger zone was confined to the saw
mill.
Between forty and fifty men were
employed at the camp and probably
third will be thrown out of work.

Jonah Long, Of Ida Grove, Iowa,
who were married in the Iowa town
on Wednesday after one of the most
strenuous courtships imaginable.
The wedding took place some six
weeks later than the date original
ly set, and was only contaminated af-
ter the groom had been in '.durance
vile" seven distinct times on
charges said to have been trumped
up by the parents of his sweetheart,
who was bitterly opposed to the
match.
He was accused Of all sorts of
crimes, varying in degree from rob-
bling a peanut wagon to starting a
dog fight, arrested and liberated.
All this was done IN an effort at
throwing sand in the eyes Of the
little blind god. Cupid" but he re-
fused to blind, for Jonah on each
occasion fought his way to liberty
Nor had the bride, who was Miss
Hazel Cole, found the way entirely
like primrose path, since she left
home because of her parents OPP
position to her marriage with the
man she loved. She. sought pro-
lection with friends and was taken
forcibly from her harbor by rela-
tives, confined in hospital with
guard over her to prevent Jonah
communicating with her, and final
ly the plucky lover got out of jail
long enough to sue out a writ of
habeas corpus, bringing her into
court where the judge decided that
she was of age and competent to
contract marriage and could have
her Jonah long and permanently il.
she could catch him out of Jail. In
this she was finally successful.
During the Commute train wait
yesterday, the young couple prone
,naded the depot platform and at
tracted much attention. They will
make their home at Wasta on the
groom's farm. But where is there
any sense in breaking out of Jail
seven times In order to be married.

SWINDLER IDENTIFIED AS

LORD" HARRINGTON is sERv.
ING LIFE SENTENCE FOR MUIR
DER OF rCANN.

Des Moines, April 24.-Tonight
James G. Maybray broke down when
confronted with additional evidence
by Miss Lillian Gates, of st. Louis,
that he is Jim Mccain, the horse
man for whose supposed death Bar
rington Seymour. is serving life
sentence. The chief points of iden-
tification are two scars on May
bray's left hand and letter received
by Miss Gates from Maybray, in
San Francisco, encouraging her in
her efforts to free Darlington. The
photograph which Mccain sent Bar
rington is perfect likeness of May
bray.
The Mccain life insurance was
never paid.
Des Moines, April 24.-Claiming
to represent the British consul in
st. Louis, on behalf of 'Lord" Bar
rington who is in the penitentiary
for life for the murder of James P
NcCann, of ST. Louis, Miss Lillian
Gates created a sensation by lap
rearing at the United States mar
halls office today and identified
H7m'es c. Maybray. the alleged race
windler, as Mccain the supposed
.ictim of Darlington. The indenti-
'"ation impressed the federal OFF,
ais, who claim to give credence
. the story. 1t developed later in
he day, that Miss Gates is friend
Of Darlington and has made the
same claim as to other men. She
IS engaged in an endeavor to get
harrington released.
G. A. Deming, Of St. Louis, who
knew McCann, appeared later and
after examining Maybray stated that
while he bore a strong resemblance
yet he could not swear that he was
the same person. Maybray de-
clared that there is nothing in the
woman's story and said that heJ
worked in Omaha for years, where
many prominent men identify him.
