OPPOSE NEW PENSION BILL.
Democrats Attack the DoIIar-a.Day
Proposition.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE house
was the scene of more oratory on the
Sherwood dollar a day" pension bill
but, while the house worked overtime
in a six-hour session, the senate was
idle, although the senate committee
on interstate commerce continued it's
investigation of the trust question
and the Lorimer committee continued
it's probe. More than a score of
speakers debated the Sherwood bill
in the house.
A great majority of them favored
the measure, or one similar to it, and
eulogies to the "old soldier were
heard almost from the time the gavel
fell.
Representative Burgess of Texas di
crossed long enough to discuss the
tariff for an hour. He attacked the
tariff policy Of free raw Materials
declaring that William Jennings
Bryan had reversed himself in ad.
%vocating such a policy.
The Stanley steel investigating
committee announced that it had de
cided by unanimous vote to continue
the steel inquiry. 1t was agreed
however, that the committee will not
attempt to make any recommends
lions as to the guilt of the steel trust
now that the. government has insti
tuted suit against it. This agreement
is a compromise between the Little
ton and Stanley views, which have
been unharmonious heretofore as to
the scope Of the future investigations
for the committee.
The Hardwick sugar investigating
committee continued it's probe of the
sugar trust and the house judiciary
committee held another hearing OF
the Clayton bill to define contempt

POSSE KILLS SAERIFF'SSLAYER
Ml-...~ AND CITIZENS ENGAGE IN
RUNNING FIGHT.
He Wounds Three Of His Pursuers Be.
fore Bullet Puts an End to
His Life.

White Rock, S. D., Dec. 12.-After a
running battle of 80 miles with a com
pany of state militia and a posse Of
armed citizens, John Weldemeir, who
shot and killed Sheriff Moody of Wah-
peton, was surrounded three miles
southwest of here and killed after he
had wounded three Of his pursuers.
Weldemeir killed Sheriff Moody of
Wahpeton when the latter attempted
to eject him from a house on the farm
of United States Marshal James Shea,
eve miles south of Wahpeton.
The Shea house had not been occu-
pied By the owner for some time and
the caretaker discovered that Welde-
meir was occupying it. The man re.
fused to move out and the sheriff was
called to evict him. Without giving any
warning, Weldemeir discharged both
barrels of a shotgun at Sheriff Moody,
killing him instantly. The outlaw then
jumped into a buggy and, with his
gun across his lap, started across the
country. A posse was assembled and
Company l of Wahpeton was called out
to capture him.
The story of what happened when
the fugitive found himself hedged in
in front and behind was told by Dep
nty Sheriff o. ]. Badde, who said:
"As 500 as he saw us he began to
circle around and didn't seem to know
what to do until he saw the Nat. Paul
farm a little way off and started for
the buildings.
"Just then the posse came up from
behind and fired and one of Sheriff
Moody's horses, which the man was
driving, fell dead. The outlaw then
left his rig and started for Paul's sheds
with his rifle in his Lands.
He took a shot at Frank Murray,
justice of the peace, but didn't hit him.
Several shots were then fired in rapid
succession and someone called to him
to surrender, but instead he raised
his gun to fire and then one of the
Company I men from Wahpeton shot
him through the forehead, killing him
instantly. The body was brought back
to Wahpeton in compliance with the
order of Mayor Frank Eberly to bring
him back dead or alive"
