SITUATION IN IRELAND DE
SCRIBED by FLANDREAU
MAN.

Flandreau, Feb. 26.-Arrivlng in
South Dakota from the scene of the
Sem Feiners' rebellion In Dublin,
ireland, Mr.. and Mrs. Michael Gran
ny and their young o have reached
Flandreau, and for a time will make
their home with Mrs, Martin Byrne.
a sister OF Mrs. Granny.
In a talk with newspaper men,
Mr.. Granny expressed the opinion
that the coming Easter will witness
another uprising of Irishmen that
will be more lasting than the one last
year. Irish sympathy has been
aroused, he stated, because of the
treatment of the Sein Feiners, who,
Irishmen claim, were executed with
out trial or hearing after they had
surrendered. He states further that
there are large amounts of arms and
ammunition secreted in Ireland and
that the rebels will be better equip
ped than before. Mr.. Granny also
says that if CONSUMPTION Is resorted
to by the British government in Ire
land, there will be another uprising
Independent of that of the Sein
Feiners.
The Granny family lived in an
apartment house across the street
from the South Side union, one of
the strongholds Of the Sein Feiners,
when ii was captured by the British
soldiers. One end of the terrace, of
which their home was a part, was
riddled by bullets of the soldiers and
Sein Feiners during the struggle to
gain possession of the rebel strong
hold.
For several days members of the
household did not venture near a
door or a window and were fully pre-
pared to lose their lives. Twenty
five were killed and many wounded
i'm this battle which was fought prac-
tically in their front door yard.
While on their way across the At
lantic. Mr.. and Mrs. Granny saw one
steamer sunk as the result of an at
tack by a submarine. Another ship
was sunk soon after being passed by
the Kroonland, on which they were
| passengers. The submarine which
sunk this vessel passed within a few
hundred yards of the Kroonland, ac-
