YOUNG MAN BOUND OVER
FOR BLACK HAND LETTERS

Pierre, S. D., Jan. 9.-The preliminary
hearing in the case OF the United
States vs.. Lee Canaan, charged with
writing ~blackmailing letters, threaten
ing lr~cendlary burning of their farm
buildings to Henry Esselburg and Sam
Thorpe, in Sully county, was held be-
fore United States Commissioner John
II. McCord. United States Attorney c..
j. Norris appearing Cor the government,
and Horner, Martin & Goldsmith, of
this city, for the defendant. The evil
dence introduced by the prosecution
was purely circumstanitai, showing
that Canaan's home was located very
close to the mail box in which the
anonymous letters were placed, and
that there were some striking resem-
blances between Canaan's handwriting
and that of the letters. United States
Inspector WoQd, who has had charge
of the case from the beginning, and
Assistant Postmaster Fred Williams
qualified as handwriting experts, both
t~eStifying as to Similarities, the latter
showing that the sign g." capital
u" and the letter y" were much alike
in the threatening letters and in the
defendants writing. The defendant Of
fefed no defense, but moved tina the
case be dismissed because of lack of
evidence, merely calling attention 10
the fact that Inspector Wood had felt
sure that the writing of RipIey-the
mai carrier DISCHARGED by the county
authorities last week on his same
charge-was the same as in the letters.
The motion was denied and the de-
PENDANT was bound over to the federal
court with $1,000 bond.
Canaan is % years OF age, unmar-
ried, began farming for himself last
spring, was brought up in Pierre, where
he has attended the common and high
schools, is Industrious n generally
has borne an excellent reputation.

TO pay for everything Tar higher prices
than the natives are charged; or, in
other words. hat because they are
foreigners they are being fleeced. But
q glance at the social conditions b.
which the people have been educated
would reveal the curious fact that
throughout Japar's long period of iso-
lation II was an accepted principle that
the rich must i've for the sake of the
poor, and prices ave always been
based upon the purchasers rank in So

MacVicar for Councilman

We take pleasure in presenting
the name of John McVictor to
our readers for one to be voted
for next Monday. He has done
more for our city than one man,
and has saved the city many
thousands of dollars in public
buildings. Since he has taken
charge of the police department,
he has reduced the percentage of
crimes and ROBBERY with the same
amount of policemen that Mr..
Roe had. He has done away with
the bond sharks around the police
court, 1t was through his influ'
ence that Mr.. J. Frank Blagburn
was nominated and elected City
Market Master and now the best.
position our race have is in
his department. MIR. E. Tracy

friends in the counsel.

Now for the new ones, John

the council is too narrow. and too
prejudiced to our race for us to
consider him at all. J. G. Myre-
ly is a good, clean business man,
friendly to our people, and has
heretofore appointed colored men
when in Office.
Mr.. F. T. Van Liew is a good
man, we'll qualified; has given us
square deal while police judge.
Mr.. Needham is backed by the
unions, who as a rule are against
US, as we understand that Mr..
Needham does not care for the
colored vote. Now Mr.. colored
voter read this editorial carefully
and you can easily know the best
men for us as race lovers who re-
ally want to know and do the
right thing.
