ffIOITOSOP LIFE. Half-Breed Uprising Squelched by Marshals In North Dakota. PREPARED FOR AN ATTACK. Ind Una Wanted Time to Hear From Washington, but Were Told It Wae Too Late—Thnee For Whom Waraants Wore Out Were Arrested— Red Thunder Resisted and Had to Be Handcuffed. Holla, N. D„ May.—The half-breed rising hits been squelched, and without loss of life. Marshal* came here Saturday from St. John in consequence of information received that an attempt might be made to rescue Laspele Langen, who was arrested Saturday. Pickets were left on duty all night, but no attempt was made. A posse left here in a wagon soon after 6 o’clock and drove 16 miles to Breed fort. As it was known that they had mounted scouts watching the direct road, the posse struck east, coming on them from an unexpected direction, so they had no time to gather from the outlying country. Breed fort was reached at 9:30 o’clock, the wagons being half a mile in the* rear and the deputy marshals advanced, sprawling out so as to command the north and west sides, those being easiest of access. Marshal Cronin and Indian Agent Hall, leaving their rifles behind, walked up to the fort, the deputies keeping a sharp lookout for any hostile movements should the Breeds refuse to talk with Cronin, but told Hall they wanted still further time to hear from Washington. Cronin told them to make up their minds quick, as he meant to attack them at once. Vronln Ready to Fight. By 10:30 Marshal Cronin was ready to begin, when the Breeds sent out a message that they wanted to see him* He returned word that they could send out one of their chiefs, and they sent Chasseur Lepotreau, who was chief in the raid in St. John’s hardware store on Thusday night, when they stole all the guns and ammunition. Lepotreau wanted time to hear from Washington, but was told that it was too late. Then he offered to surrender the men for whom warrants were out except Red Thunder, but Marshal Cronin told him that he would give him the conditions. They must surrender absolutely and give him all arms and ammunition and he should arrest all he wanted. Surrendered Unconditionally. Soon after 11 o’clock the Breeds surrendered unconditionally. Fifty-four guns were" found, most of their Winchesters having been hidden, but they can be found later, .Each man was required to write his name on to gun. Only those for whom warrants wtjre already out were taken to town, the others being allowed to go for the present? They are: Red Thunder, Joe Langan, Joe Demarois, Chasseur Lepontre.au, Francois Langan, Alex Leropue and Daniel Short. Red Thunder made a desperate resistance when arrested, attacking Deputy Daggett with his knife. It took three men to handcuff him. He is 87 years old, but almost crazy and possessing maniacal strength. While negotiations were pending he had tried to kill one of the Breeds for favoring surrender. The prisoners wertf brought to Rolla yesterday afternoon. RICHMOND ACQUITTED. Jury Finding That He Wan Not In a Scheme to Defraud. Council Bluffs, la., May s.—Judge Shiras has decided the case of the United States against W. H. Richmond, the promoter of the Union Building and Savings association of Des Moines. The only question was, did the defendant violate the United States law in mailing a letter in furtherance of a sheme to defraud. He thought not, although he admitted that a scheme to defraud had been ventilated. The letters contained not the slightest allusion to dividends, the association stock or its condition and said nothing that could be construed as an inducement to the people to whom they were directed to subscribe; The questions put to Richmond by Bridenstein were only such as he had a right to ask and the answers he made were only such as Richmond h;id a right to make. As he could see nothing objectionable in the letters, he instructed the jury to bring in a verdict of acquittal, and this was done. District Attorney Fullen states that it is hardly likely that another indictment will be brought against Richmond on the strength of the representations made in the circulars which he sent out, showing the financial condition of the association for he would find it difficult to make the charges stick. Withdrew the Statement. Savannah, May 6. — Ex-President Gompers of the Federation of Labor during an address to a massmeeting of workingmen here yesterday, made some caustic comments on the price of labor in Savannah. Dr. Falligant, a prominent physician afid member of the council, took exception to his remarks and the doctor's position was indorsed in speeches by others present until Mr. Gompers withdrew the statements he had made. The affair caused much talk in labor circles. , - a Once More at Hie Post. New York, May 6.—Chief Engineer Salter of the Quebec Steamship company’s steamer Orinco, has arrived from Bermuda. He was arrested at Bermuda on a charge of assaulting and causing the death of a fireman of his steamer on one of her late trips to Bermuda. He was honorably acquitted by the court, and is once more at his post as chief engineer. Beneficial Rains. Dai,las, May 8. —All portions of Texas have been benefltted by a five hours rain yesterday. Crops ape in fine condition. The years drought has certainly been broken. Streams, springs and lakes are now full of water, affording an abundance for cattle and people.

TH CASE REOPENED. Bo?un Before the Supreme £ourt Tills Morning. NEW TO JUSTICE JACKSON. Slionld the Other Member* of the Bench Vote an They Did Before Mr. jjick.on'e Voice Will Decide the Matter—Attorney General Olney Wants the Entire Question Reopened. Washington, Slay 6. — It is not known what time will be given to the reargument of the income tax cases, which was begun in the United States supreme court today. The order of the court granting a rehearing did not specify as to time, and the chief justice is quoted‘as having said since the order was made that art gnment would be at length. On the first argument 12 hours time, equivalent to three supreme court days, were given to the subject. Then three attorneys were heard on each side. It is, therefore probable that the argument will be extended over at least two days, and it is possible that counsel will seek to have it cover even more time. The motion for the rehearing was for a second hearing on the points on which the court was divided, but Attorney General Olney stated in his brief on the subject of a rehearing that in case the petition should be granted he would ask to have the entire question reopened, saying that the government had never been heard as to whether a tax on rentals or dividends upon bonds was constitutional, as an original proposition, and intimating that he should like to have an opfiortunity to go into this question at length. Hm, Heard No Oral Argument. As the entire question is new to Justice Jackson in the sense that he nas heard-none of the oral argument, it is considered not improbable that more or less argument on all the points involved will be permitted. Whatever the conclusion of Justice Jackson, after hearing the arguments, ho reversal of the opinion of the court in regard to incomes from rents and public bonds is possible unless at least two of the members of the court who participated in the former decision change their votes. The court stood six to two in pronouncing that part of the law unconstitutional. On the remaining features of the law the court divided, and if all the members of the court vote this time as they did before. Mr. Jackson's voice will decide the matter. Jimtice Jaeknon on Hand. ' ’ Washington, May 6. —Associate Justice Howell E. Jackson of the United States supreme court arrived here yesterday from Nashville. He expects to participate in the proceedings today in the supreme court incidental to the rehearing of the income tax cases. Hon. Joseph H. Choate and his son and Hon. B. H. Bristow of New York also reached the city last night, presumably to take part in the court proceedings. ITS BAD EFFECT. Durant Murder Cane Result. In the Suicide of Two Young People. San Francisco, May 6.—The horror of the Emanuel Baptist church murders a few weeks ago resulted in the suicide of one morbidly sensitive youth and now the disappearance of a young girl is ascribed to the same cause.

MARRIED IN A VAULT. Light* Went Out, But That Did Not Stop the Ceremony. A marriage in the inky darkness of a vault is something decidedly unique, but that is the sort of a wedding that occurred in the court house recently. About 11 o’clock a fine-looking young young man and two decidedly goodiooking and stylishly dressed young women enteml the Recorder of Deeds office and asked for a marriage license, and one was issued to William Diay and Viola Roderick. Thev said that the marriage was to be a surprise, and reques.ed that notie. Sg be said about the granting of the license. Then they consulted to, gether. and finally asked if they could be married right there. Recorder Quea! hastened to the tele* phone and called U P Justice Kbert. Before the justice arrived *oid had passed around that a wedding was to occur, and the roc-m was filled with uninvited guests. .. The groom did not relish this, neither did rhe bride, neither the brides sister, who was of the party. The door to the large vault where the records are kept stood invitingly open, and the groom said: "Let’s step m here, and toe bridal party entered the vault It was brilliantly lighted and tilled with the dull cdor of musty records. The bride glanced about, frightened a bit but then looked at the groom and smiled sweetly. The groom, evi- f dently a brave man, was not as nervous as the iitstice. who tumbled to eet from his pocket a paper upon which he had written the words ot a simple marriage ceremony. The door , was'shut softly behind the party, and the wedding was screened from curious eyes. , . The justice was getting along rant, well and had just reached in the ceremony where lie asked the couple to join hands, when something I. j One of 'the clerks had slipped to the switchboard and turned off the lights in the vault. Everything, was as black as-darkest midnight. Hie bride and groom could not see each other, Thej us I ice coal d not see the in. It wa s no time to stop-or falter, however. "Find her hand,” said the justice, and the hands t ame together as though thev had met in the dark before.
