SCHMIDT'S STORY , OLD.
The court room was paclld this afternoon ,
fully ' 600 Ieopl being present The evidence
. , was the most sensational that has been Intro-
ducel , so tar. The most Important wllness
was henry Schmidt , who was with Scott
_
. ' when tlo assaul was made. His testimony
In brief was as follows : "We were returning -
Ing to O'Nel from Scottvihle. When wo
reached the sod house at Parker men called
to us 10 stop. Scot said , 'Drive on , ' and
, I did so. Then the firing , com-
monccd. The horse were shot and
wo were surrounded. The men
- ' ordered us to get out of the buggy , and wo
'S did ' so. I counted eight or ten , but there
4 may have been more there. The leader said
they wanted the 101 county money Three
, men covered mc with revolvers , and then covered -
ered Scot Ills wire and Miss McWhorter.
Others stood there talking , but I culd not
undertand wilt 'vas mid. One man had a
gunny sack for a mask. Others had handkerchiefs -
chiefs ; eyes were all' that could be seen.
" 10 a few moments a lumber wagon drove
up , drawn by a gray and a dark horse.
There was a double box on the wagon' and
in tile bottom was some hay. They were nil
told to get In the wagon , and did 50 , eli
. . . . ' sitting In the bottom of tile box. Two men
. ' sat on the seat In front all two more sat
nfl the cndgato behind. I was the only one
that was blindfolded , which was dana shortly
after getting Into the wagon. They drove
us about three miles. Then a buggy drove
e up , the ladles were put Into It and driven
- l awa ) ' . I had worked tine handkerchief off
one of my eyes a little , and could sea that
j Scott was not blhuUolded then , but was
. shortly afterwards.
' . t. . STOPPED FOR TIF NIGHT.
"finey drove on slowly until after dark , I
' when they stopped and told us to get out ,
which we did. I then saw that It was an
' old louse or sbble. They took mo to tile
' south side of tine building and told me that
I couhl go , but not to tel anythIng before

WOULd bo tile worse for me.
"I asked them I I could bid Scot goodbye -
bye , amI WIS allowed to do so. Scott told
mo to go , ainni 'said he was sure they would
ki hIm but he hoped they wouhl llo It
t . ; ' qulclt. The man then led mo away from
.J the building and said that a man would
take me part of the way to O'Neiil. le
said he was very sorry the young lady was
shot .
"I was then taken to a cart , In which was

and a man got up anti drove off. lie drove

ClAMDEIAIN , S. D. , Jan. 30.-Speclal ( , )
-ucge Kelam of the state supreme court Is
defendant In an Important case which Is to
be tried at the term of court now In session
here. The suit Is brought by Iecelver
Tompkins of the Union Stock Yards State
bank of Sioux City . and Is to recover the
sum of $7,237.99 , which Is claImed to bo due
the bank and secured by notes and mort-
gages. In his reply to the complaint of
Ieceh'er Tompkins , JUdge Ielam admits
that ho executed tine notes and mortgages
by which they were secured , but expressly
denies that they were executed for value
received , but that they were given wholly
without consideration of any kind. Ielam
says the notes were simply "accommodation
notes , " and were gIven to E. W. Skcrry ,
president of tine deiunct Hlome City bank ,
for the reason that Sherry and himself had '
for years been on terms of close business
null ociaI Intmacy , and because Skerry requested -
quested hIs aid In signing tine notes for tine
bank In order thnt they might be redis-
counted , for the time being , and thus assist
materially In carrying the bank safely over
the financial shoals wIth which I was evi-
denty surrounded at the tmo , Ielam fur-
titer says It was understood that tine notes
would bo taken UI by the bank previous to :
maturity , canceled and then returned to
him. For some reason this was not done ,
and the exposure of the questonablo meth-
oils adopted to bolster up nn Insolvent bank
Is the result. A case of identically the same
charncter Is brought by Receiver Tompkins
against Scott Hayes of this city , except that
the al0unt claimed to be due the bank by
Hayes Is $9,069.91.

Mothier's ConrlJe II Saving nor Two
Children frum the Flames.
NEW YORK , Jan. 30.-A mother's hove
anti courage showed strongly today when Mrs.
Mary Walsh left a fourth-slory window In
her home at 47' SIxth avenue with her two
children In her arms , climbed down an icy
Iron ladder' to escape from the flames that
had possession of her rooms. The fro started
while Mrs. Walsh was still In bed with her
children. Her husband , n mal carrier , had
gone to work shortly before Mrs. Wnlsh
awoke to find her room In flames. Thc
force of the fire anti smoke had already blown
out a rear window In the house. Mrs.
Walsh caught her two children up and ran
through the homes to the fire escape. The
fro burned Ihelr night gowns und scorched
their hair and flesh . Icicles hung from the
ladders down which site had to climb. A
beam had fallen across her shoulders as she
ran Ihrough the burning room and heft an
ugly bruise. Mra Walsh climbed down time
first ladder and stood on n level with an
adjoining house , where a man named Richter ,
who had been awakened by the fire , met
her and took tine children from her arms.
Then Mrs. Walsh was herself assisted down.
The surgeon at tine hospital to which they
were taken said he thought the children
would die.

fact that grave charges have been made
against Mr Greenhut , In fact , that he Is
practically charged with wrecking tIne company -
many , I think this acton Is , to say the
least , very peculiar. 'Vhat acton , our corn-

certainly act decisively and quickly. "

Inllvidualy offer the co-operationn of their

with Iexleo. Central America will stnll

The Costa IUen mlnlstcr arrived Eoon after

of Guatemala , and Is of the saute mind as the
other Cenlral American republics. The war
cloull langs bleavy over Mexico tods ) ' . I Is
fearell from tim outoolt that Mexico has no
resource left but to declare war against tine
federations of Central America. PresIdent
Diaz Is for peace , but still stands . boldly for
Mexico's rights. Tine president and cablnct

At the Mexican Jockey club , of which the

combatants are leaving that section by all

of Mexico seem unanimous In support of
President Diaz and his policy and will spare
no means or expense In the way of arming
and equIpping soldiers.
The rumor n few days ago that two Atnieri-
cans , Thomas Murphy and Colonel A. H.
Dunn , were kied while enrouto to the
Guatemalan Northern railroad with a drove
of 100 mules which were to bo used In the

Mexico has a small but reasonably cifi-
dent , well armed and well dried arm ) ' . Her
Infantry force consists ot 21,783 olcers and
men , 937 ; cavalry and 1,480 artillery. The
Infantry Is armed with the Hemlngton rife
and thc national armories are well provided
wih arms of various kinds and with ammunl
' tion. The cavalry Is armed with the Renting-
ton carbine and with the saber , while tbo'
artillery arm 'ot the service Is abundantly
provided with breech loadilig guns ; ' Mexico
' im'as user tlto' bug period of peace In thc past
to good advantag In thoroughiy equIppIng
and drilling her army.
Besides the regular army the Mexicans
have a body of soldiers known as rural
guards. They are , veil armed , dried and
mounted , serving as thc natonal polce force
In times of peace. They furnish protection
on all naUonal roads and number 2,020 men.
This brings the total fghtng strength' of
the army for Immediate use to about 35,000
men ,
Besides these Is ( lie militia sustalnell by
the states of Mexico , much lS the national
guard of the Unied States Is nnalntained
This militia can be called Into tine service of
tine government by the president aud Is then
paid from tine public treasury. I the milta
were called out It would gIve Mexico a fght-
Ing strength ot 131,623 Infantry , 25,790 cavalry -
aIry and 3,650 artillery.
The Mexican navy Is small , but aglinst a
power with mono at all It Is effective. I has
R feet of four small 'vessels In the Gulf ot
Mcxlco and three gunboats on ito Pacific
coast Besides these therc are five revenue
cutters that might be made available its gun-
bats. The republic also has I schoolshlp of
steel anti some smal coast guard steamers.
Gualcmala unt recenty has paid little at-
tenton to her army. A compulsory law
makes every Guatemalan a soldier for six
months , at the expiration of which Period
the soldier passes Into the reserve force anal
calm bo called Into service at any tlmnit . A
system by which exomptons can be mar-
chasell his Interfered serlcusly wih making
I large and efclont force and giving the
service popularity. Upon n ineace footing the
army has about 4,000 ofcers and ) nen , which
can bo Increased In time ot war to between
60,000 and 60,000 men. Guatemala has no
navy ,
Mexico has a population of about 12,000,000 ,
while : Guatemala has about 1,610,000 , or
vinomnt about two-Ihlrds arc Indians Guate-
mala has no fortfe,1 towns , and all her
