HoMEsTAKE TO RESUME.
Mine Company Wins Out-old Hours
and Waves Prevail.

Lead, S. D., Jan. 11.-From the ap.
pearance of things it is evident that
the Homestake Mining company is
preparing to resume operations and
that the lockout of miners, which has
lasted from December %, is at an end.
The boilers of the Star hoist were
fired up and fire was put under the
boilers in the Ellison hoist, the largest
operated by the company.
The company has not receded from
its position as given when the notice
of the lockout was published, and will
employ only nonunion men.
1t is asserted by company officials
that they have received the signature
of 300 former employees who are will.
ing to work under the conditions
named by the company.
These include the same hours of
labor, eight hours to a shift, and the
same wages as formerly paid, and to
work as non-union men.
Everything is quiet and there has
so far been no sign of trouble. None
of serious nature is anticipated.
The company still retains it's guards
of detectives.

Magec claimed the presidency, and for
which he sought franchise into Sioux
City at the last meeting of the city

This information was conveyed last
night In a telegram received from Lin.
coin. Whether Magee will return to
meet the street committee at the SEES
sion Tuesday is doubted by city Off
cials, and many have limited they dc
not believe Magee Is connected with
the road. A strange feature about the
matter Is the fact that Magce could
not name one of the incorporators OF
his road
The incorporated line was to dc
business in Nebraska and Kansas, but
Magee was only boosting Sioux Falls

chadron Gets Normal School.

Lincoln, Jan. 1O-Chadron gets the
new normal school. The normal board
in executive session at the Lincoln no.
the fifteenth ballot
The board members returned to Lin
coin at noon and Immediately after
lunch, without announcing their arriv.
al the members went into executive
session and began to vote.
On different ballots each town re-
ceived three votes, which was the high
est number that town received. The
votes were all cast under the Austria
liam ballot system and each town com
peting for the school on various ballots
received some votes. On the four
teenth ballot Chadron received five
votes and then the location was made
unanimous.
Chadron agreed to donate to the
state eighty acres of land adjoining
the town and which runs back into the
buttes, and according to Treasurer
Brian is an ideal location for the
school. In the center of the tract is
the Chadron academy, an institution
conducted by the Congregational
church. This building will be donated
to the state, though the board said
this was no inducement to the selec.
ton of Chadron for the school. Chad
ron is on the Northwestern railroad
and is in the extreme northwestern
county of the state. The state appro.
priated $4,000 for the school. The
faculty will not be chosen until later,
probably not until the building is con.
structed
The towns which competed for the
school were Chadron, Alliance, Craw.
ford Rushyille, Gordon and Ainsworth
The normal board left Lincoln last
Sunday night and visited all of the
towns asking for the school. One day
the board made a drive of seventeen
miles in five hours, but the members
were we'll treated and furnished good
warm rooms, as requested.
At its various meetings the board
took no action regarding Principal
| Crabtree.
