the white man tells, in our history,
of the fight at Washita. Flying Hawk
was born in the Black Hills; it was
his home that he whites had invaded;
it was his gold they took in violation
of law and sacred treaty; it was his
buffaloes they slaughtered for amuse-

and cold. 1t was from him and his
friends and relatives that they with
held food and blankets and money
that was due them under their treaty,
and grudgingly gave them "bones"

SCOTTISH TROOPS SHOT
DOWN IN SOUTH AFRICA
Is Killed and Is Wounded By
Strikers; Aviators Drop
Bombs on Miners Hall

johannesburg, Mar. ia Scott
ish detachment was ambushed at
Benoni to-day by strikers hidden in a
plantation, who suddenly poured a
heavy fire into the soldiers, killing
is of them and wounding rs. Most
of the detachment were ex-service
men.
Casualties in the fighting between
the striking miners and police had
reached thirty-two killed and fifty
seven wounded by 8 o'clock tonight
(Friday), when the firing was still
continuing. OF the thirty-two killed,
nineteen were policemen.
BY IL o'clock, however, the streets
had become absolutely deserted and
the town was uncannily quiet. The
public was forbidden use of the
streets.
The workers hall at Benoni is re-
ported to have been hit by n bomb
dropped from an airplane. The
heaviest casualties in the district are
believed to have been suffered in the
extreme eastern section of the Rand.

MINERS FINISH VOTE ON
PROPOSED STRIKE
Leaders Think Ballots 9 to | for
WaIkout April LIST, Unless
New Wage Pact Made

indianapolis. March 10. - The
strike vote Of the soft coal miners
was completed tonight by local
unions scattered throughout the
country. and though the exact re-
turns will not be known for week,
officials of the United Mine Workers
of America believed that nine-tenths
or more of the workers cast their
ballots for walkout on April un-
less new wage agreement is made
in the meantime.
Chances Of getting wage confer
ence with the operators of the CEN
trail competitive field, comprising
Western Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana
and Illinois, seemed remote to the
union chiefs, for no change In the
attitude of operators opposing an
interstate conference resulted from
the appeal of Secretary of Labor
James Davis for the two sides to
get together.
Government May Act
The only possibility of confer
ence as viewed by union officials was
for the Government calling both
operators and miners to Washington,
but no one at union headquarters
had any information that such call
was contemplated by Administration
officials.
What may happen in the Pennsyl-
vania anthracite field depends on the
outcome of the meeting between un-
ion officials and operators at New
York Wednesday.
Hard Coal Miners Also Affected
To the extent only of having ar
ranged for joint conference is the
strike situation in the soft and hard
coal fields different, though no refer
endum vote was cast by the anthra-
cite miners.
Their convention, however, de-
clared for suspension in event a
new wage agreement did not provide
for wage advances. In the soft coal
fields, the miners ask the retention
of their present basic wage scales.

MRS. WILBUR MARLOWE
ATTEMPTS SUICIDE

Mrs. Wilbur Marlowe attempted
to commit suicide by drinking con-
centrated lye at her home near ELL
mitch last Thursday afternoon. Her
husband had gone to the barn when
the effort was made but their little
son seeing his mother prepare to
swallow spoonful of the deadly
poison hit the spoon and thus pre-
vented her from taking enough to
cause death. She probably did not
swallow any of the liquid but por-
tion entering her mouth caused Sc
we're burns and swelling. Physicians
believe that she will recover.
She gave as the cause of the rash
act, grief over the loss of a thirteen
year old daughter about two years
ago, and stated that she had been
contemplating the deed for several
months. She had been shopping in
Fordsville that day and was dressed
preparatory for burial.

SENATE PASSES
JUDGMENT BILL

Frankfort, KY, March 9.-The
State Senate passed this afternoon
by vote of 20 to 6 the Declaratory
Judgment Bill, sponsoved by Sena-

The Upper House by a vote of 22
to IL also put its Endorsement
on the Monroe Bill, which would
appropriate $4,000 for the erec-
tion of a poultry building at the
State Fair Grounds.
The Declaratory Judgment Bill.
which has been advocated for some
time by several Louisville lawyers,
would give person opportunity to
go into court and obtain declara-

sAPIRO TO ADDRESS TOBAC-
co GROWERS AT OwENsBORO

Formal launching of the drive to
organize the dark tobacco growers
Of Western Kentucky will come with
the opening address to be delivered
in Owensboro Wednesday afternoon,
March IS, at 1880 o'clock, at the
Plaza theater, by Aaron sapiro, the
originator of the cooperative plan OF
marketing tobacco, who has been
successful with similar organiza-
tions in California.
The announcement Of Mr.. Sapiro's
coming to Owensboro was received
wednesday afternoon in a telegram
to Henry s. Berry, president of the
Farm Bureau, from J. s. Crenshaw,
at Hopkinsville, and was later con-
firmed in a conversation over the
telephone. Ar. Berry was told to
spare no expense in arranging for
the meeting and to secure a place
that would hold 1000 or more to-
bacco growers.
There is deep interest among the
farmers generally over the district
in the proposed organization, and
as every one is anxiousHto to hear the
full details of the plan. it is certain
that the Plaza theater will be filed
to its capacity when Mr.. Sapiro
speaks.
The fact that the Burley organiza-
tion is reported great success and
highly satisfactory to the tobacco
growers, is causing organization of
the dark tobacco growers under the
same system to gain strength every
day. and 1t is almost certain to re-
ceive the necessary pledges, Frank
Moseley, one of the leaders of the
tobacco interests of this district,
said today.
Joseph Passoonneau has been plac-
ed in charge of the organization
with headquarters at Hopkinsville,
and is now actively engaged in the
work. Last night Mr.. Passonneau
announced the speaking dates for
Judge Robert w. Bingham, of Louis
vile, and Aaron Sapiro, of Califor-
mia, for next week with five speeches
each as follows;
Judge Bingham, Mayfield, March
13; Paducah, March IA; Murray,
