SPECIAL DEPUTIES
 SENT TO MINES

A call for protection was made upon sherin Higdon from MuIga yesterday morning and three automobiles filled with 10 deputies were rushed to the grief stricken town. The request for their aid was more to assist in keeping the heart broken survivors of the victims of the mine explosion of Wednesday night from doing anything rash or interfering with the work of the rescuers than for any fear of law violations
 Sherin Higdon will keep a large squad Of deputies on the scene until every thing has quieted down. Those who went out yesterday morning were relieved by others last night.

heads together. That something will de- velop from this quiet hobnobbing, sly winking and the like is regarded as a feregone conclusion.
 Just who will be the suburban eandi- date, however is a matter of specula- tion. Whoever he might be, he would undoubtedly make a great race, as a large percentage of the suburbanites, 1t is believed, would naturally go to his support.
 Only two announced candidates are now in the field, these being Mayor Frank P. o'Brien, who stands for reelection, and Jere c. King.
 Other things in city political affairs ar, also getting lively. It is practically certain that the heads of departments will go on the ticket and the scrambling for the various offices promises to be great.

It is authoritatively announced that the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad com pany will advance the wages of its em- ployes and that the advance will become effective May 1.
 In a large operating company, in the very nature of things, inequalities in wage conditions are arising from time to time, and therefore the advance an nounced by the Tennessee company will be in the nature of a wage adjustment.

swENsON GETS NEW TRIAL
Clay County Farmer Mas Accused o
Poisoning Daughter-in-Law

: Pierre-By affirming the decision
of the lower court in the case of
the State VS.. Nels P. sSwenson, from
Clay county, Swenson is given a
new trial IN the charge of murder
ing his daughter-in-law, Bertha Sven
son., by the use Of 9strychnine.
He was granted a new trial by
Judge Trip. but the prosecution ap-
pealed to the supreme court.
Back of the events h a terminated
in the death Of Bertha Swenson there
stood out in bold relief the ccusa
ton that had been placed against her
by her father-in-law of the theft from
him of $500. The old mar a ac-
cused her to her face, had mentioned
it to other members of h family, and
even % neighbors. The loss of this
mone was uppermost in his mind
from the day that he discovered that
it was gone He had brought $4,000
In gold from Beresford and hid it in
an old granary. He advanced the
argument tina some member of the
family must have stolen it: that II a
robber had found the money he
would have taken the whole thing.
From that day until the tragedy the
miser had worried over the loss of
his gold.

Grain in Elevator Suit

Armour-An interesting cas- was
determined in circuit court here last
week, when the jury returned a
verdict in favor of the defendant
against the Farmers Elevator COM
pany of this place. The trial was hot
ly contested, Attorney Tally of Deni-
son, Ia, assisting j. w. Addie for
the farmers, and e. P. Wauzer prose-
cutig the case for Gus Anderson, the
plaintiff. The points of interest in the
case are that Mr.. Anderson hauled L.
600 bushels of wheat to the farmers
and when he got ready to sell it, the
manager of the farmers elevator re-
fused to pay him the price his quality
of wheat was worth on the market,
and also refuse dto let him have his
wheat. MI. Anderson brought suit to
recover the wheat, and through the
sheriff did o it and sold 1t at
another elevator, and then sued the
formers company for the cost of NOV
ing it, together with attorneys fees
and other expenses insured. The
courts instructions and the jury's YER
dict were in favor of Mr.. Anderson on
every point and established the fact
that the title of grain rests in the
farmer who delivered it to the ele-
4vator until he has been paid for 1t.

CHARLTON GOES BACK TO ITALY
u. s. suRRENDERS ALLEGED
WIFE MURDERER.
State Department Decides That Treaty
Must Be Interpreted Literally
Until It Is Abroqated.

! Washington.-The state department
Friday decided that Italy Is entitled
to the %extradition Of Porter Charlton,
which was demanded on a charge Of
murder and who confessed to the
murder Of his wife near Lake Como,
Italy.
1t is held by the department that
the treaty under which Italy made the
demand must be Interpreted literally
until 1t shall have been abrogated.
The department holds that treaties
are not reciprocal, which means that
a treaty may be binding, even though
one nation has the advantage over
the other in some of its details. Such
a treaty is undoubtedly the one now
in force between Italy and the United
States, but the department frankly
a y that 1t will abide by the conven-
ton as a principle of national faith.
The decision Of the department does
not mean that Charlton will imme-
diately have to go to Italy and stand
trial. The matter may be carried to
the courts where the prisoners sanity
will be determined In such event
Charlton would be held here for al
most two years.

The Several State Funds

4 Pierre-The report Of the condition
of the state treasury, as shown by the
state for the last month, indicates a
total of $317,401 in all funds, but
of this the general fund has only
81, 623. The call of taxes for De-
cember will oon begin to come in,
and that fund will be largely in
before the first of the year.
The income FUND for the schools OF the
state contains $12S, $50, but this will
be sent out to the schools about the
middle of this month, and will not be
idle long. The Irvine plant fund car
ries $5S,OS5. The game fund does
not show any great increase on ac-
count Of the game licenses of this
year, having but $11 ,637 at the pres
ent time, but as the county treasur-
ers will likely remit the game fund
this month at the time of remittances
of other moneys hat fund is likely to
go to $4,000 by the first of the year.

Cigar AIight in Pocket

Bowdle-James w. Brown, of the
little town of Loyalton, near here, aft
er suffering terribly for three and one
half days, died Of burns sustained
while driving from Roscoe to his
home. 1t is supposed that he was in
toxicated when he left Roscoe. He had
been smoking and placed a lighted
cigar in his o%vercoat pocket and fell
asleep while driving along the road.
His overcoat caught fire and when he
awakened he was in flames. He must
have lost consciousness for he was
in this condition when found by other
travellers along the road, and whep
more than a day later he recovered
consciousness he could remember
nothing between the time he awohe
on his wagon to discover himself to
be on fire and the next afternoon.
