Kansas City banker, in his home
when he arrived unexpectedly nt an
early hour Sunday, John W. Cudahy,
of Kansas City, Mo., a wealthy pack-
er and son of Michael Cudahy, the
Chicago millionaire, is alleged to have
committed aa assault on the man

Lillis is In St. Mary's hospital His
condition Is said to be critical. Cuts,
said to have been inflicted with a
knife, are on his face, limbs and one
arm. The cuts have been made In
criss-cross fashion. Ifhe recovers ho
will be disfigured for life, it is averred
by physicians
Before cutting Lillis Cudahy is said
to have bound Lillis with a strong
rope. One of Cudahy’s chauffeurs was
present. Neighbors heard Lillis
screaming and groaning in the Cuda-
hy home and they called the West-
port police station. It was a woman
who called. Her identity has not been
established.
"A man is being murdered In the
Cudahy home. Send an officer there
nt once,” she screamed.
Ten minutes later Patrolman Brian
Vnderwaod hurried to the Cudahy
home, which Is at Thirty-sixth and
Walnut streets, in the most fashion-
able residence section of the city. The
front door was open, so he didn't ring
the door boil.
Stepping into the hall he heard
screams coming from a parlor. Then
came groans and cries for mercy.
Underwood followed the direction
of the sound and soon came to the
room. It was brilliantly lighted. He
pushed open the door and entered
cautiously
Three men were in the room. Pros-
trate on the floor lay Lillis, half nude
and bsnnd with a rope. His lower
limbs were bare. His few remaining
clothes were bloody. Above him stood
Cudahy. He was tn correct evening
dress, e«capt he wore no coat. His
sleeves were pulled up. Blood was
on his hands.
From the beginning to the ending
of the affair Mrs. Cudahy was not
tn evidence. Attampes to reach
her Bunday were futile. Cudahy's at-
torney's admit the general facta tn
the case, but refuse to go into de-
tails.

HUGE STRIKE BEGINS.
Men of Many Trades Quit In Philadel-
phia.
Between 50,000 and 75,000 union
workers on strike, 100 different
branches of industry affected and a
renewal of rioting in which two men
were shot la the situation which
fronted Philadelphians early Saturday.
The police are apprehensive as to
the outcome. With thousands of men
idle, forced to quit their usual voca-
tions as their leaders allege because
of the obstinacy of the officials of the
Rapid Transit company, it will be an
easy matter to fan the spark of dis-
content Into a flame of lawlessness.
Director Clay, however, has no hes-
itancy in declaring that he has enough
men at his command to crush any up-
rising.
The Rapid Transit company stated
Friday night that every effort would
be made to maintain trolley service.
Cars will be dispatched from all barns,
they state, at as near regular Intervals
as possible and will be increased if
police protection is given.
Encouraged by messages of sympa-
thy and of offers of assistance from la-
bor organizations from all parts of
the country, the union workers of
many trades ceased work at midnight
Friday and Inaugurated what promises
to be one of the greatest sympathetic
strikes in the history of organized la-
bor. The committee of ten say that
at least 75,000 organized workers as
well as many unorganized sympathiz-
ers of the street car men have ceased
work.
Promptly at midnight members of
the union orchestras playing in the
leading hotels and cafes picked up
their instruments and started for their
homes. Union cab drivers and chauf-
feurs also abandoned their posts and
the hotel and railroad cab and auto-
mobile service was badly crippled. The
drivers of both taxicab services In the
city are members of a union and re-
fused to take out their machines after
the strike had gone into effect.
The committee of ten remained in
session at its headquarters all night,
receiving reports from the various lo-
cal unions.
SHOT DOWN IN THE STREET.
Three Southerners Fired on Without
Warning.
State Senator E. L. Travis and Rep-
resentative A. P. Kitchen, a brother
of Gov. W. W. Kitchin and of Con-
gressman Claude Kitchin, of the Sec-
ond North Carolina district, and Dep-
uty Sheriff e W. bunn, all of Halifax
county, N. C., were shot down on the
main street of the town of Scotland
Neck, N. C., Friday by E. E. Powell.
Travis and Kitchen are seriously and
Dunn fatally wounded.
According to the best Information
obtainable, Powell met the three vic-
tims walking along the street together.
He approached Senator Travis and
asked him his reason for not replying
to a letter he had written to him. Rep-
resentative Kitchin, thinking that
Powell was out of humor, placed his
hand gently on his shoulder and utter-
ed words intended to placate him. Pow-
ell drew a pistol, shot Kitchin, and in
quick succession fired on Travis and
Dunn, both falling to the ground.
Powell then walked to his store, se-
cured a shotgun and barricaded him-
self in the place. No effort was made
to storm the place, but Friday night
he surrendered and was taken to jail
at Halifax.
The bullet, which struck Kitchin at
close range, entered the face below
the eye, and was later taken out be-
low the ear by surgeons. The ball
which laid Travis low knocked out
several teeth and spilt his tongue.
Dunn was hit below the left shoulder
blade, the bullet ranging upwards.
CAUGHT WITH A DECOY BILL.
Alleged "Black Hander"’ is Arrested
In New York.
“Leave SIOO on your front porth for
oa or your store will be blown up and
you will be killed in the street, was the
threat in a letter signed by the “black
hand" received by J. Henry Glebel-
haus. a wealthy baker of New York.
Giebelhaus took the police counsel
and complied to the extent of wrap-
ping a marked $1 bill around a roll of
paper and leaving it in the place in-
dicated.
When a young man walked up to
the porch Friday and nonchalantly
stooped down and picked up some-
thing watching detectives nabbed him.
After a search they reported having
found the marked money in his pos-
session and locked him up on the
charge of sending a threatening letter.
He gave his name as Emil Rosenthal
and disclaimed authorship of the let-
ter, declaring that he had happened
to notice the bulky envelope and had
picked it up to see what was in It.

Dead and Missing at Wellington Num-
bcr ltd.
Eighty-six names are now on the
list of dead and missing passengers,
trainmen and postal employes who
were carried down by the avalanche
near Wellington, Wash., that destroy-
ed two Great Northern trains Tuesday
morning. Statements offthe number
of laborers fighting the snow who were
sleeping on the ill fated trains vary
from twenty to thirty. An estimate of
100 dead Is conservative.
All the dead were residents of the
northwest. Of the Injured only one,
Rev. Bishop Wlnget. of Chicago, was
from the east. No one who has seen
the wreckage has the slightest hope of
finding any of the missing alive.
The
explorations have uncovered none liv-
ing and some of th- bodies are shock-
ingly mangled. An -Valanche of dry
snow might have covered its victims
alive, but the gorge at Wellington is
packed tightly with wet snow, ice.
huge trees and glacial bowlders of
enormous weight. Two of the bodies
recovered were those of the electri-
cians, who were living in a cabin at
the edge of Wellington and who were
carried 300 feet down the slope.
All day a stream of men with picks
strapped to their backs wound about
the mountain path from Skykomsih to
Scenic and Wellington carrying food
and supplies for the Injured. Some
are digging for the bodies of friends
or relatives. A few were sightseers
and they were told they were not
wanted.
A laborer was caught taking trink-
ets from a dead woman’s body and he
was compelled to start down the trail
at once.
One hundred and fifty men are dig-
ging for bodies in the avalanche de-
bris. Among the bodies found Thurs-
day were those of former Prosecuting
Attorney B. M. Barnhart, of Spokane;

MOB LAW IN DALLAS, TEXAS.
Citizens Lynch an Accused Negro Out-
rager.
Allen Brooks, a negro charged with
assaulting a 3-year-old white girl last
week, was lynched at Dallas, Tex.,
Thursday by a mob of 5,000 men.

tra police were ordered out. but be-
fore they could reach the scene the

ter down the jail doors with heavy
railroad ties. The officers tried to
pacify the mob by assuring it that

ter on its members, who Immediately

to lynch them. The firemen, fearing

STATE LAND SALES.
Tracts In Missouri Slojtc Country to
Be Disposed Of.
For the first time the state lands
board will offer lands for sale in the
Missouri slope country. For years
these lands would not bring the mini-
mum price fixed by the constitution
for the state school lands, and no ef-
fort was made to dispose of them.
But now that the demand has brought
them up to a price where they will
bring not only the minimum, but
more than twice that, offerings will be
made in Sully and Potter counties.
The list of counties selected in which
to make offerings and the dates of
such offerings which have been decid-
ed upon are: Beadle, April 25; Kings-
bury, April 26; Miner, April 27; Me.
Cook, April 28; Sanborn. April 29;
Jerauld, April 30; Douglas and Sully,
May 2; Charles Mix and Potter. May
3; Gregory and Faulk. May 4; Spink,
May 5; Clark, May 6; Hand and Mar-

counties where lands will be offered
for sale will be on the days following
the sales, except when such day is
Sunday, when they will be on the
Monday following. Leases on lands in
all other counties of the state will be
made on March 17.

time they are guests of the city. The
convention was held at Parker last
year and there were upwards of 200
delegates present. This year those In
close touch with the situation declare
there is a larger interest In the work
of Sunday school organization over
the state, and for this reason it is ex-

Representatives of the federal gov-

the work of distributing among the
members of the Sisseton tribe of In-
dians an aggregate of more than $30,-
000. which was due them as interest
money by the United States govern-
ment. The Sisseton Indians are com-
paratively few in number, and because
of this some of the individual mem-
bers of the tribe received considerable
sums as their proportion of the pay-
ment. As a result the merchants in
the town adjacent to where the In-
dians liveware now enjoying a fine bus-
iness supplying the wants of the war-
riors and their women and children.
These Indians, like others of their
brethren, are I’beral spenders, and
not many of them attempt to save for

RATE RULING HANDED DOWN.
Express Companies Victorious in Fed-
oral Court.
Judge Carland, of the federal court.
Wednesday afternoon rendered g de-
cision which is a complete victory for
the express companies doing business
in South Dakota. He holds in sub-
stance that the act of the legislature
did not give the board of railroad
commissioners authority to make the
schedule of rates complained of by
the express companies, which was a
general reduction of 20 per cent from
the rates in effect January 1, 1909.
Judge Carland’s decision fully re-
views the act of the last legislature
providing for the reduction of express
rates and concludes as follows:
“The words 'such schedule’ refer tc
the rates established by the action,
and the power given is only to change,
modify and establish a rate in such
eschedule that has been found to be
unjust or too high or discriminatory.
It seems clear that the legislature for
fear it might in some cases do an
injustice by making a horizontal re-
duction in rates by sections 5 and 6 of
chapter 159 intended to provide a
remedy to the express company or any
person Interested to complain in par-
ticular instances of the injustice of a
rate which would be created by the
provisions of section 4. As the court
is of the opinion for the reasons here-
in stated that the board of railroad
commissioners had no authority to
make a schedule of rates complained
of, it is not necessary to determine
whether chapter 159 is valid legisla-
tion or not."
Chapter 159 is the act of the legis-
lature regarding the reduction of ex-
press rates. Judge Carland's decision,
which was rendered on demurrers
filed by the railroad commission, vir-
tually throws the case out of court, as
there is nothing further to fight about.
RAILWAYPURCHASE RUMOR.
Milwaukee May Buy the Rapid City
Mystic Line.
The fact that two surveyors, said
to have been in the employ of the Chi-
cago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway
company, recently made a trip over
the Rapid City, Black Hills and West-
tern railway, which extends from
Rapid City to Mystic, the latter town
being situated in the heart of the
Black Hills directly west of Rapid
City, has again given rise to the re-
port that the Milwaukee company is
about to purchase the Rapid City-
Mystic line.
The two surveyors made copious
notes regarding the condition of the
roadbed and the possibility of
straightening out the track in some
places. It has been known for some
time that the Milwaukee company
was desirous of having a line to the
Wyoming coal fields, which would
greatly Increase the importance of its
line from the Missouri river to the
Black Hills, the terminus of this line
at present being at Rapid City.
INDIANS BOUND OVER.
Charged with Assault with Intent to
Commit Murder.
Pius Red Water and Leo Rabbit,
two Indians from the Crow Creek res-

Monday charged with assault with at-
tempt to commit murder. They were
bound over to the next United States
grand jury in bonds of SI,OOO each,
in default of which they are confined
in the Brule county jail. In some
manner these Indians secured liquor,
and returning to the reservation,
promptly began to hunt trouble. They
found it ot the Douglas ranch, near
the mission. In the fight which en-
sued they used an ax too freely, with
the result that they will have to an-
swer to Uncle Sam for the deadly as-
sault upon their neighbors.

HUNDREDS LOSE LIVES
IN IDAHO AVALANCHE
Burke and Mace Are Overwhelmed
by Huge Masses That Slide
Down Mountain.
FAMILIES TRAPPED IN SLEEP
Snowslides That Destroy Property
and People Started by Chinook
Winds and Warm Rains.
Sixty lives have been lost, it is fear-
ed, in two great snowslides which
brought dismay to the mining towns of
the rich Coeur d’Alene district ,n
Northern Idaho. At 10:35 o’clock the
other night a snowslide swept down
the mountain, striking the little town
of Mace and burying twenty-five bouses
and their sleeping occupants in a mass
of snow and ice at the bottom of the
canyon. At 5:30 a. m. the next day,
another slide rushed down ca the town
of Burke, crushing a score of houses
under thousands of tons of earth ana
snow. There is fear that the number
of dead at Burke may be even lar -er
than that at Mace. Because of the
larger population of Burke, about 900,
the houses were closer together.
Mothers hauled their children to the
side hills; brothers dragged little sis-
ters to places of safety, and when the
slide struck many of the homes were
deserted by fear-stricken women and
children, while the bread providers
were rescuing injured at the stricken
sister town.
Old-timers in the Coeur d'Alene dis-
trict had been sounding dally warnings
to Mace, Burke and Black Bear that
because of the record depth of the
snow, slides were imminent. For six-
teen winters these towns have es-
caped devastating slides and sd strong
had the confidence of the miner resi-
dents been that their homes and fami-
lies were safe that no precautions had
been taken.
The little
.mining town of Mace Iles
between precipitous mountain sides, a
straggling line of cottages in the creek
bottoms, bisected by the lines of ‘he
Northern Pacific and Oregon Railroad
and Navigation Company. Its one >
dustry is mining and its big mine is
the Standard. With scarce a dividing
line perceptible the towns of Black
Bear, Gem, Mace and Burke form a
long string of houses for six miles.
Mace is divided into two parts,
known as Upper and Lower Mace, re-
spectively. The catastrophe occurred
In Lower Mace, where dwelt about 300
miners employed in the Standard
mines. Most of these men were unmar-
ried and lived in the Hotel Standard.
Reports are that this hotel was in the
path of the avalanche.
Though first reports of the disaster
were that the town of Gem, Idaho, a
mile above Mace on the same side ot
the canyon, had been overwhelmed,
later news indicates that the town es-
caped. The slide was half a mile long
and thirty feet deep.
Thirty-five Italians, sleeping In in
outfit car on the Northern Pacific sid-
ing, who were swept away with liuir
car in the bottom of the canyon, used
the tools in their car to dig themselves
out.
Chinook winds and warm rains start-
ed the Burke snowslide, which increas-
ed in velocity with every foot down
the mountain until it gained such
headway and force that only blinding
mist and a roaring warned the score
of families of miners of its approach.
Surface trams were crushed and twist-
ed and cabins were ground to atoms.
TOWNS IN OHIO INUNDATED.
