Places Children in School.

Rapid City.-The presence in this
city of Chief Hump of the Minnecon-
jou Sioux tribe from the Cheyenne
River reservation, is an event to his
many friends in this city. He brought
in his squaw and four papooses, two
Of which were placed in the United
State Indian school at this place.
Chief Hump has seer nearly all of his
three score and ten years and is yet
as straight as an arrow, standing
nearly six feet in height. He is one
Of the few remaining warriors who
proved to be a problem to the govern
ment in the days of pioneer settlement
in the Dakotas. Hump was closely al
lied with Sitting Bull, and after that
noted warrior had been entirely van
pushed Hump and Big Foot were two
chiefs who caused a great deal of anx-
iety on the part of the troops sta
toned in the west. After several I'M
successful raids Hump, upon request,
came to Fort Sully and enlisted as a
scout in the service. Doane Robinson,
state historian, in his History of
South Dakota" gives a great deal of
Humps history in connection with the
Indian wars. The famous BLACK Buff
falo" who met Lewis and Clark OF
their expedition, was Humps grand
father.

COTTON CORNER CASE OPENED
United statse Supreme Court Will De-
eide II Antitrust Law Has
Been Violated.

Washington. Oct. 25.-Solicitor Gen.
eral Bullitt made the final argument
in the Patten cotton corner case in
the Supreme court and the case is
now before that tribunal for decision.
Notwithstanding the reports that
the Indictments have been faulty, ETC.,
the case was submitted to the court
on the general principles that there
have been violations of the Sherman
antitrust law.
Interest attached to the case against
Patten and others because 1t is an
open attempt on the part Of the gov
eminent to use the Sherman law to
break up corners in wheat, cotton and
other staples and to end agreements
to purchase in excess Of the known
supply or to make contracts for the
future delivery Of such products.

IS GUILTY
JURY FINDS POLICE OFFICER d.
REcTED KILLING OF HERMAN
ROSENThAL.
FACES CHAIR FOR MURDER
Prisoner Near Collapse When Verdict
10 Returned After Eight Hours
Men Who Decide His Fate Sob AZ
They Tell Their Decision.

New York, Oct. 26.-Police Lieut..
Charles Becker was found guilty Of
murder in the first degree by the jury
which has been trying him for insti-
eating the death of Herman Rosen-
thai, the gambler. The verdict, which
took the jury eight hours to reach,
was pronounced at 1902 o'clock Fri
day morning.
Mrs. Becker, wife of the convicted
police Official, was barred from the
courtroom when the jury returned
with their verdict. Seated In the corri-
dor outside, the dread news vas
broken to her as gently as possible.
She sat perfectly immovable when the
messenger told her her husbands fate.
Apparently stunned, she neither NOV
ed nor spoke. Then her eyes closed
and she apparently sw6oned. Friends
carried her away.
The verdict was a severe blow to
counsel, all of whom had been conf
IDENTIFY looking for a disagreement at
least.
The last Juror had scracely gained
his seat when the same door through
which the arbiters Of his fate had en-
tered again swung open, and Becker
himself stalked through. His face was
white. His ayes swept about the
courtroom in an affrighted name
and finally fell upon the jurors. So
intent was he in studying their
countenances that he stumbled just
inside the room and almost fell over
the railing.
The attending deputy sheriff caught
him and supported him within the rail.
Gentlemen of the jury, have you
agreed upon q verdict?" asked Justice
Cot. I'VE have" said Foreman Skin
ner.
"How say you. gentlemen of the
jury?"
Guilty in the first degree" almost
whispered the foreman.
Becker's chest sank in with a sigh
that shook his whole fame. His
mouth twitched and all the muscles
Of his face knotted In an anguished
spasm.
These y men-after eight hours
battling with their conscience having
pronounced the defendant guilty
turned from judges to sympathizers
and there was scarcely a la OF the
IL who did not falter and whose voice
did no catch with a sob as he indi-
vidually recorded his belief in the
guilt Of the accused man.

N SYSTEM BAD.
Says Prisoners Do Not Regard Being
Placed on Honor. I,

Aberdeen.-The honor system may
be successful with prisoners in a pen
itentiary, but Officer John Burke, in
charge of the city rock pile, says 1t Is
no good for his work. One Of the
prisoners became i'll and Burke took
him into the station, and while he was
gone William Murphy, serving ten
days, and Ed Wallace, serving six
days, left the rock pile and started out
of town. When Burke returned to the
rock pile and discovered two Of his
prisoners missing he detailed another
officer to watch the others and he
started after the recreants. Cheating
an automobile Burke secuted around
and finally tracked his men on the
road towards Groton. Within three
miles of hat place he overlook them.
They were returned to the police sta
ton.
