.FUR0RE TRACEABLE
TO DEPARTMENT
STORES
PAYNE SAYS MERCHANTS ARE
RESPONSIBLE FOR WOMEN'S
OPPOSITION TO TARIFF.

Washington, April 6.-Accusing the
large department stores of having in
stgatcd the opposition of many women
and 'hysterical men" against the in
creased duties provided by the Payne
tariff on Womens gloves and hosiery,
Representative Payne today, in a state
ment which will be printed in the Con-
gressional Record, asserted that the
impostors who oppose the duties were
interested in firms abroad which make
gloves and hosiery. He presented va
rious arguments in an effort to JUS
tify the increased rates, contending
that the difference in cost of labor in
the United States and abroad was not
covered by the duties levied by the
Dingley law.
Claiming that the new tariff in
pair to 2 1-2 cents per pair, Mr.. Payne
declared that there was no truth Nh
the assertion that the price of hosiery
to the consumer would be increased
25 cents per pair,
Mr.. Payne asserted that scores of
petitions have been received by the
committee asking that the increased
duties be retained in order that the
working people of the country may
make the stockings used in the Unit
ed States. Mr. Payne argued that the
increased duties on womens gloves
We're justifiable for the purposes Of
protection and revenue. He cited the
conditions resulting from the protec
ton afforded the American manufac-
turers of mems gloves by the Dingley
bill.
Prior to 1894 they were making 5
or 10 per cent of the mems gloves"
he said, "but they said that the duty
was so low that they were being driven
out of business, and statistics seemed
to back up their assertions. Today
they demonstrate to us that they are
making over 80 per cent of the mems
gloves in this country, having amply
redeemed their promise that the cost
to the consumer is much less than it
was prior to 1897. They came before
the committee early in the hearing
and proved to us that it cost no more
and required no more skill to make
woman's glove than a mans, and
claimed that if the same rate of duty
was given them in time they would
make the same percentage of Wom
ems gloves, and that this industry
would employ at least $4,000 people"

TELLS GOOD DEEDS
OF BIG OIL
COMPANY
ATTORNEY FOR THE STANDARD
MAKES A FLOWERY APPEAL
TO THE COURT.

st. Louis, April 6.--John G. Milburn
of New York, the Standard Oil COM
pany's chief counsel of record, late to-
day commenced presenting the de-
fense's side of the case in the govern
ment's suit to dissolve the Standard
Oil company of New Jersey for al
legged violations of the Sherman act.
Although Mr.. Milburn addressed the
court but 40 minutes he found time
to tell much of the early history of
the Standard Oil corporation. The
two principal points made by Mr.. Mil
burn were that the corporations had
done much for American industries
and commerce, and that the oil bust
ness of the early days was of mon
descript type"

foot of civilization; wherever the hoof
of camel has made it's imprint upon

RANGE WAR IN WYOMING BREAKS
FORTH AGAIN WITH FA-
TAI RESULTS.
.SHEEPMEN ARE MURDERED
Masked Horsemen Rush Upon Camp
of Herders and Shoot Three Down
in Cold Blood, Then Pour Oil Over
Their Wagon and Cremate Bodies
Officers Hasten to the Scene.

Cheyenne, Wyo., April 6.-Another
chapter of the bloody range war be-
tween cattlemen and sheepmen, for
control of the range for grazing, was
written in Big Horn county late on
the night of April =. According to in
formation just received here, Is
masked horsemen raided the camp of
Allemand & Emge and murdered in
cold blood Joe Allemand and Joe
Emge, wealthy and prominent sheep
men, and Joe Lazier herder.
Allemand and Emge had located
their camp at the mouth of Spring
creek 90 miles southeast of Basin,
where they were guarding $500 sheep.
The raiders came upon the wagon on
the south side of the creek in which
two herders We're sleeping. These
men were escorted to the road
and told to leave the country and
ot to look back under threat of
death.
A volley fired into the wagon on the
opposite side Of the stream resulted
in the death of Emge and Lazier.
Evidently Allemand was aroused by
the approach of the raiders, as his
body was found fully 20 feet from the
wagon, where he had been cut down
by rifle ball. The wagon had been
soaked in oil and fired, the bodies be-
ing cremated. About 80 sheep were
killed.
All telephone wires were cut and
news of the affair did not reach Basin
until this morning. Immediately
County Attorney p. w. Metz, Sheriff
Aston and Deputy Sheriff Cusick left
for the scene of the outbreak, arriving
the night of April 8, after a hazardous
journey through the deep snow They
found the bodies undisturbed, but OBJ
tanned no clews to the murderers.
Allemand is an old time sheep man.
Emge was formerly a cattleman, re-
Gently entering the sheep business.
There is great Indignation throughout
the Big Horn country. The Big Horn
SheepgroWers' and the State Wool
growers associations have each Of
fered $1,000 reward for the capture of
the raiders, and this will probably be
further increased by the state authori-
ties.

Butte, April Following the cleo
tion of Charles Nevin as mayor, spec
ulation as what viii happen to the
police force under the new administra-
tion is rife about the city hall. The
contention is made that the present
mayor Corby, will put all of the pres
ent force under the civil service rule
and allow them TO hold on indefi-
nitely or until removed through dis
ability or inefficiency. On the other
hand, it is claimed that the police
commission as appointed by Corby is
Illegal, as IT has never been confirmed
by the city council.
Lively times are anticipated early
next month, and the prediction is
try to remain despite all efforts to
have them removed, and two police
forces, with the matter finally landing
in the courts, is the prediction made.
The present city government has
caused a large number of certificates
of appointments upon the police force
to be printed during the past few
weeks, and these win be issued to the
republican members of the force within
a short time. The same courtesy may
be extended to the democratic mem
bers, but this is not certain. In this
manner. it is believed, the present force
will be allowed to continue indefi-
nitely. This rule applies to the heads
of the departments, but there is we'll
grounded rumor to the effect that the
heads will resign rather than be an
tagonistic to the new mayor.

municipal election held in Colorado

In the majority of towns where the
question of prohibition was submitted
to the voters the anti saloon party
was victorious
Colorado Springs went dry" by 1000
majority. The town has never had a
saloon since its inception because of
the clause inserted in every deed by
the late General Palmer, founder of
the town, but the election will prevent
drug stores from selling liquor in the
future.
LaJunta, Canon City and Castle

while Cripple Creek and Colorado City

IN INJUNCTION SUIT FILED YES
TERDAY ROAD TELLS OF
BLACkFOOT RANCH.
RIFLE STOPS SURVEYORS
lrate Rancher Comm ands Railroad
Men to Go While the Goings Good
and Enforces Obedience With Gun
Restraining Order Is Granted and
Work Will Be Resumed Today.

An irate rancher and Winchester
rifle are the combination that for the
time being, has thwarted a great rail-
road corporation in it's plans Of ex-
tension. Yesterday the railroad, the
Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget Sound,
appeared in the district court by its
local attorneys Marshall & Stiff, to
seek an injunction against Dwight E.
Fessenden, who, it is claimed, had or
dered a Puget Sound surveying party
off his land and, vi ct armis, had in
sisted on immediate departure. A re-
straining order was issued by Judge
Webster and this morning a deputy
from the sheriff's office will serve the
injunction on Mr.. Fessenden and the
surveyors can go ahead over his ranch.
Will Build Branch.
While the granting Of the injunction
and the action that lead to it are, of
themselves, interesting enough, the
principal feature brought out by The
resistance of the rancher was the
declaration of the Chicago, Milwaukee
& Puget Sound that it really intend
ed to run branch up the Big Black
foot valley and that the men now
working in the valley were surveying
for the new line. While it had been
generally taken for granted that the
new road was planning branch ever
since the surveying party left Mis-
soula under secret orders on Saturday,
March 13, still yesterdays is the first
official admission by the corporation
of it's plans. In the papers filed in
application for the injunction, 1t is dis
tinctly stated that the company has
built a railroad through the state Of
Montana and is now surveying for a
branch line up the Big Blackfoot val
ley. According to the document Of
yesterday, the branch is to join the
main line at a point six miles east of
Missoula Another interesting fact in
yesterdays legal action is that the
papers were filed in the name Of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget Sound
Railway company" the former title,
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul"
having been used in all former cases
in the local court.

senden, above Bonner a few miles, on
Monday they were instructed by the
owner to leave the premises and to
go while the going's good" a lack
of enthusiasm about their departure
on the part of the railroad men was
dispelled by the sight of a repeating
rifle in the hands of the rancher, and
the progress of the Puget Sounds Big
Blackfoot branch was stopped Yes
terday's action in the district court
followed and it is to be supposed that
Mr.. Fessenden will put no further OBJ
stacles in the way of the surveying
party. This is said to be the second
time that the surveyors have met
with unfriendliness-to put it mildly
on the part of a valley rancher, al
though the difficulty was patched up
on the first occasion.
