ONLY QUICK ACTION BY OFFT-
GALS PREVENTED THE EXE-
CUTION OF FIVE NEGROES.

Jacksonville, Fla.-Quicl action
on the part of local and county po-
lice. aided by the fire department,
alone prevented the lynching here
last night of five negroes, under ar
rest i'm connection with the murder
last Sunday OF S. Silversten and the
assault of his wife and two small
children. A mob of several thous-
and people, led by German wom-
an, had formed. and every police
man and deputy in the city was call
ed into action to protect the Jail
where the negroes We're confined.
The first mob that stormed the
Jail was led by the German woman.
Shouting defiance to the police she
dashed to the door of the Jail, urg-
ing the men to follow.
At the entrance she was seized by
an officer and thrust inside, while
the police, with drawn revolvers
charged the oncoming mob and fore
ed them back.
The fire department also proved
effective. One member OF the de-
partment refused to turn the water
on the mob when ordered to do sc
and was discharged on the spot.
Hearing that the united efforts O
the city and county officers would
not be enough to cope with the stu
alton, the state militia was ordered
under arms. Three companies arr

.P|TNEY CONFIRMED
BY SENATE TODAY
OF THE NEW JER-
sen MAN is FINALLY APPROX
ED TODAY.

Washington, ID. C-Bulletin. -
The Senate this afternoon confirm
ed the appointment of Mahlon Pit
ney of New Jersey as associate jus
tce OF the United States supreme
court.
Washington, ID. C.-For more than
three hours last evening the Senate,
in one of the stormiest and most pro-
tracted executive sessions in the re-
cent history of congress, debated the
confirmation of Chancellor Pitney Of
New Jersey, whom President Taft
has nominated to succeed the late
Justice Harlan on the supreme court
bench. The Senate finally agreed to
resume debate at noon today and
vote on the confirmation at 4 o'clock.
A rough canvass by Chancellor
Pitney's supporters, made after the
fray tonight, showed the vote prob
ably would be close and that there
was some danger OF his rejection.
Senator Culberson of Texas. led in
the attack, and in his speech and
those of other senators the New ,Ier-
sey Judge was assailed in bitter lam
guage. which extended even to an at
tack upon his general fitness for the
bench.
The fight was based mainly upon
Chancellor Pitney's decision in the
glass bottle blowers case. That de
cision restrained journeymen bottle
blowers, their officers and the mem
bers of the union who struck against
glass works in New Jersey some
! years ago from using coercion OF per
! suasion to make loyal employees leave
/ their work in breach of contract, ol
! the master and servant doctrine. The
| decision prohibited the strikers from
personally molesting the strike
! breakers in any way and interdictet
picketing or boycotting in any way
Senator Cummins of Iowa, pictur
ed the decision as oppressive t.

man and Senator Reed characterized
it as showing a dangerous trend o
thought. Senator Williams and Sen
ator Shivley Joined the attack bu
Senators Bailey Clark of Arkansas

JUMPED FROM TRAIN
IS BADLY INJURED
LEM WINTER STRUCK BY TRAIN
ALPE,Ns, AND LAID UNCON-
SClOUS IN THE COLD FOR
EIGHT HOURS.

A serious and perhaps fatal acct
dent occurred during the night at
Alpena. in which Lem Winter may
possibly lose his life. He mad been
up to Virgil to attend a dance Fri
day night. and caught Milwaukee
freight going through about / O'Clock
10 ride home to Alpena. 1t is evi-
dent that the freight did not stop at
Alpena and Winter in trying 10 get
off the train fell in such way that he
was struck on the head and render
ed unconscious. The train men
knew nothing of the accident, and
consequently the young man laid
there from that hour until after 9
O'Clock this morning, when his
body was discovered a short distance
from the depot. When found the
head was frozen to the rails, and his
feet were also frozen. Friends pick
ed up the body and took it back TO
the depot. 1t was shipped here on
the morning passenger, and was ac-
companied by DR. Schulz and a broth
er OF the injured man. The injured
man was taken out TO the hospital.
His injuries are very serious and
there are very small chances for his
recovery. The skull was fractured
badly and bone was removed from
the brain. The left arm was badly
lacerated and it was removed at the
forearm. The young man has a
brother working in d barber shop in
this city.
1t is not understood that youns
man was riding or a ticket fare, and
consequently the Milwaukee campany
does not attach any responsibility in
the matter.

jority for Cotterill of 645.
The defeat of Gill, who was recall
ed from Office as mayor year ago
for alleged misconduct in office, is
said to have been brought about by
the feminine vote. The women vot-
ers organized and carried an ener-
getic campaign against him. One
of their number was assigned tc
each city square TO aid in getting
out the Cotterill vote. Specia
meetings were held in the churches
last Sunday for the same purpose
and many women appointed to diff

The Afternoon Session.

When the delegates TO the conven-
ton assembled this afternoon the
crowd was even larged than at the
opening, and the enthusiasm
was even more abundant and which
was let go at every opportunity. The
Alexandria and the Salem-fiartford-
Humboldt bands played four or five
numbers previous to the opening of
the program.
Father O'Gorman, OF Kimball,
gave a short and pointed address,
and he was followed by John d.

either route. He added that Nit
chell would not take any part in
the convention. H. j. Brownell, of
Sioux Falls, spoke briefly along the
same line, and said that but two
representatives from the Queen City
that they, too, had friends on both
lines of route, and did not care to
have anything 10 say about the Sc
lection of the route or the business
of the convention.
A motion finally prevailed that Nit
chell and Sioux Falls should be
eliminated from the work of the con-
vention. 1t was evident that there
was quite a serious strife on be-
tween the north and south route sup
porters, and that they We're looking
for every possible advantage. One
of the delegates was heard TO re-
mark that he thought the result
would be that both routes would De

thought it would be an easy solu-

The following dispatch from Wash
iugton to the Omaha Bee indicates
that the charges which We're filed
against T. c. Burns, register OF the
Gregory land office, have been dis
posed of. The friends of Mr. Burns
in Mitchell never placed any great
amount of faith in the charges, and
believed that he would be able to
clear himself of them if they We're
ever pressed:
Present indications are that no
further action will be taken by the
committee on expenditures in the
Department of the Interior, of which
Representative Graham of Illinois is
chairman, in the case of Thomas C..
Burns, register of the land office at
Gregory, S. ID. Charges We're made
against Register Burns by George
y. Silsbo of Carver county, Minneso-
TIA, that through Irregular practices
in the Gregory land Office Silsbo
was deprived of a homestead. An
| investigation by the Department OF
| the Interior disclosed that Register
! Burns was in no wise culpable in the
handling of the Silsbo case. 1t is the
understanding that as a result OF
this report the Graham committee
will drop the Burns case"

been in session for two days and adj
iourned this afternoon Friday they
allowed bills, and TO-DAY the time
has been taken up in looking over
the contemplated bridge work to be
done this year. Some of the bridge
petitions which We're filed some time
ago We're acted upon and in other
cases committees We're appointed to
make an investigation and to report
at later meeting. The roadway
leading from Mitchell up into Perry
township, was also taken under con-
sideration today, and it was practi-
cally decided to build that highway
into a good road. The county sur

amount OF cutting of hills and the
filling of the low spots, also to make
an estimate on the probable cost of
the. same, which he is TO report at a
later meeting of the board.

The Early Days in Spring Valley
By Joseph Andrews

Peter Nelson and wife were
among the very early settlers of
Swan Lake township. They
were leaders of the Seventh Day
Adventists and soon sold the
farm and devoted their time and
talent to further the cause of the
church. Mr.. Nelson was for a
time president of the Adventist
Association with head quarters
at Mitchell. They afterwards
went to Lincoln, Neb. From
there they went south where
they were stricken with the
deadly malarial fever from which
they both died but few days
apart. They were brought back
to Hurley for burial and placed
side by side in the Adventist
burying ground in the south
east part of Spring Valley.
Their children, six in number,
have some of them become prom
inent in their church. They
have settled in other sections of
the country aud / have lost
track of them.
Andrew F'rederickson, a broth.
er in law of Nelson and Mr.. Kier
became preacher in the Ad-
vent church. He moved away
many years ago and he and his
wife are both dead. They had
three sons and one daughter.
One son began the second school
taught in No. 6. He was strick-
en- with scarlet fever and died
and Mrs. Andrews finished the
school. Another son went early
to the Black Hills. He was back
here on a visit many years ago.
The third son was G.. P. who

married a daughter of James
Childs for his first wife. She
died and he married Jessie
Woodward. He was at one time
one of the leading merchants fof
Viborg but is now living on his
from near Parker. Lena, the
only daughter, was a bright,
noble young lady. She married
George Bowdish, a pioneer of
Spring Valley, and soon after
they went back to Iowa where
they lived for some time. She
finally left him and returned to
South Dakota where she was
employed for several years as
secretary of the South Dakota
Adventist Association. She died
a year or two ago. There were
several children. Mr.. Bowdish
is now living out near Cotton
wood with one or more of his
children.
Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Kier. the
last remaining pioneers of Swan
Lake township, are Still living
upon their old homestead farm.
Mr.. Kier filed on his homestead
on the tenth day of May, 1871,
and has resided there ever since.
I called upon them last spring
and found them strong and we'll,
and with good promise of many
more years of happy married
life. They have three children
living, Peter, Martin and Annie.
Annie married Chris Sorenson
and lives on a near by farm.
Peter married a daughter of
Louis Flyger and lives on the
old jacobson place. Martin is
single and lives at home.
