Northberg, Captain Robertson. II was
hailed and fired upon last night off Wire
lahti, island Of Blorke The projectle from
the torpedo boat pierced steam pipe and
one member OF the crew Of the English
vessel was wounded. The incident shows
the extreme nervousness for the safety Of
Emperor Nicholas.
Russian torpedo boats have been patrol
ing PItkipas bay, the rendezvous of the
two emperors, and II was one Of these
guard vessels that fired.

Deadwood Editor
May Go to JAIL
for Contempt
Freeman Knowles Will Refuse to
Pay Fine Imposed by Federal
Court.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., June f.-(Special)
That Freeman Knowles, former congress-
man from South Dakota and for some time
past editor of the Deadwood Lantern, a
weekly publication, intends going to Jail
rather than pay n fine of $780, which was
the United States court in this city. is
indicated by a statement made by the
former congressman in the current issue
of his newspaper.
At term of federal court at Deadwood,
Knowles was tried on an Indictment charg-
ing him with having circulated objection
able matter through the mails, and was
convicted. The Objectionable article was
printed in his newspaper and referred to
the death of former Black Hills young
woman. The Deadwood editor was fined
the $500 by Judge Garland and failing to
pay the fine was committed to the Pen
nington county jail at Rapid City, where
he remained for some days, or until an
appeal had been perfected to the United
States circuit court of appeals, which
few days ago affirmed the action of Judge
Garland.
In the current issue of his paper Mr..
Knowles prints a long statement in ref
erence to the case in which the follow
ing sentence appears: II have sent for
copy Of the opinion which was written
by Judge Amidon, and until the opinion
arrives it is impossible to state upon what
grounds the judgment was affirmed AS
soon as the remittur from the court of
appeals is received by the clerk of the
district court at Sioux Falls I expect to
be committed to the Pennington county
jail"
This makes 1t clear that Mr.. Knowles
will not pay his fine. However the fine
doubtless will be paid by friends of Mr.
Knowles regardless of any objections he
may have. The Free Press league, which
is composed Of Black Hills friends of the
former congressman and present editor,
has taken up the matter of raising the
amount Of the fine, and IL is believed, will
insist upon paying II to the federal court
and thus do away with the necessity Of
Mr.. Knowles going to jail.

took up with Secretary Ballinger the mat
ter Of the completion of the third section
OF the large government canal. commencing
In Wyoming and extending into Nebraska.
The secretary as settlers along the Platte

construction by the cooperative plan is not
legal. However, he is personally favorably
disposed to furtherance of the ditch and is
giving earnest and friendly consideration
to the case with the view Of doing what
ever is consistent and practical for the de-
partment to do under existing conditions
The Commercial club of Beatrice has been
anxious to have a clock installed in the
new government building there and has

to have this clock installed, and specifica-
tlons for IT will be included in bids that
are to be submitted on the work.

Gently appointed consul TO Mauritas, has
wired Senator Burkett that ne will accept
the position and expects to reach Wash
ington IN a day or two.
Senator Burkett, who has been fighting
for elimination of duty on paraphernalia
for fraternal organizations, was informed
by Senator Aldrich today that the finance
committee had decided to put such para
phernnlia on the free list. Just to what ex-
tent this will affect fraternal organizations
