ROW IN STALWART CAMP?
South Dakota Progressive! Profess to
See Division Among Standpatters.
HIT AT WATEBTOWN MEETETG
Plerro Capltal-Joaraal Drnninrf
Propoaed Conference of stalwart
Leaders Bad tiiitfi Ramor of
Deflectloa la Ranka.
SIOUX FALLS, 8. D. Jan. . (Special.)
Political Interest In South Dakota at
present la centered In a meeting of stal
wart republican state leators, which In to
be held at Watertown on Thursday of this
week. It la expected that at the meeting
the selection will be made of the men who
re to lead the stalwart republicans In
the contest for nomination to the offices
of governor and other rtate positions,
which will culminate In the primaries -next
June,
The progressive republicans desire to re
tain control of state affairs, and thus are
deeply Interested In what the stalwarts
will do at the Watertown meeting.
The progressive are making; much of an
editorial, which waa printed In the Pierre
Capital-Journal a few days ago, which In
ubstance repudiates the Watertown meet
Inn and states that no stalwarts of stand
ins; should be present or take any part In
the meeting.
The Capital-Journal la one of the most
radical stalwart republican newspapers In
the state, and Its repudiation of the coming
Watertown meeting is pointed out by the
progressive republicans as evidence that
the stalwarts are divided Into two hostile
camps and, notwithstanding; their boasts
of harmony, will be unable to present a
united front against the progressives, should
the stalwarts carry out their announced
Intention to place a full stalwart ticket be
fore the voters of South Dakota at the
June primaries.
; Burke aad Klttrrdge.
The progressive republicans have always
claimed that the Pierre Capital-Journal l.s
the personal organ of Congressman Chaii-s
H. Burke, who always has been a strong
stalwart, and because of this they say
the repudiation of the Watertown meeting
by the Capital-Journal ehows that Con
gressman Burke and ex-Senator Klttredge,
the leader of the stalwart republicans, have
parted company. However, the stalwarts
say the Capital-Journal is not the personal
organ of Congressman Burke and that
without doubt he has no Interest In Its
editorial course and therefore could not
have known that the Capital-Journal would
f repudiate the Watertown meeting of stal
warts. Nevertheless, the Incident has given the
progressives grounds for claiming that the
stalwarts are by no means working to
gether In harmony and that It will be dif
ficult for them to unite upon candidates
who will receive the united support of the
stalwarts at the June primaries.
The present views of the progressives are
ably stated by Fred W. Wright, editor of
the DeSmet Independent, who is ono of
the most conservative and outspoken of
the progressive republican newspaper men
of the state. In speaking of the colmng
meeting of stalwarts at Watertown he
said: - .
Progressives Mar I'nlte.
"At the present time the disposition of
the progressives seems to be for dropping
the factional fight and returning to office
all first-term officials, -whether progres
sives or stalwarts. Should the stalwarts
decide upon any other course the respon
sibility for a factional fight all along the
line .wlH; be. upon- tfcelr saaulders.
"The proper thing for the party to do la
to turn doevn any and all who advocate a
factional fight But there are a few who
Imagine they are the whole cheese, polit
ically speaking, and who, it seems, will
never be satisfied unless they can run the
party In this state as they did a few years
ago. But they never can run It, and the
sooner they realize It, the better It will
be for all concerned.
"It is my prediction that there will not
be more than ten or a dozen present at
the meeting, exclusive of those resident at
Watertown, and every one of them will be
an ex-officeholder.".
Naturally Interest In the Watertown
meeting centers In who will be selected
if a selection Is made at that time to head
the state ticket of the stalwarts for the
office of governor. Only two candidates
have thus far been prominently mentioned,
In the persons of ex-Governor Samuel II.
Elrod of Clark and E. L. Abel of Huron,
both of whom are strong supporters of the
stalwart republican cause.
Both men have energetic backers, who
will work hard to have their favorite se
lected as the stalwart republican standard
bearer in the approaching campaign.

Hudson s Career
Filled with Crime
Man Who Drank Wood Alcohol . in
Penitentiary Shot Sheriff of
Johnson County.
TECUMSEH, Neb., Jan. 3.-(SpeclaX)
Few men of his age have had a career
more filled with crime than has Simeon
Hudson, the young prisoner in the Ne
braska penitentiary who has just gone
totally blind from the effects of drinking
wood alcohol for the sake of Intoxication.
Hudson, who la a tall, fine looking young
man, is but 2ti years of age. He comes
from a good family In Iowa and is serving
a sentence of five and one-half years tor
forgery, having been sentenced by Judge
William Kelllgar in the Johnson county
district court In October, 1MX7.
In June, 1907, Hudson came to this city
to visit relatives living near town. He was
attired In typical cowboy dress and wore
a 44-callber revolver In his belt. He was
sized up as a smart aleck, but turned out
to be a bad type of desperado. About the
time he came here he cashed two forged
checks In Tecumseh, one for $22, on the
Citizens National bank, and one for $18, on
the First National bank. The checks were
made out to "John Zlcgler," and were
made over the forged narrfe of E. W. Ful
ler, a lumberman of Vesta. Hudson en
dorsed the checks and got his money. The
bankers became suspicious of the genuine
ness of the checks and went to look for
Hudson, who, In the meantime had gone,
to Sterling, where he tried to cash another
check, but was not successful. He hired a
saddle horse at the livery stable there, say
ing he wanted It for the day, but rode It
first to Cook and then to Burr, trying to
cash forged checks at both places, without
success.
A short time later It was learned that
Hudson was at the home of his uncle, John
Kramer, who lived south of this city.
Sheriff H. U. Miner went out to arrest the
young man, but Hudson put up a fight
and soot Miner In the shoulder With but re-t
volver, making him helpless. At the muz
zle of his revolver Hudson warned the
sheriff not to follow him and he went to
the barn and mounted a horse and rode
away. Miner returned to Tecumseh, where
he was given surgical attention, and the
report of the shooting stirred the citizens
Into great excitement. A big posse was
formed here, and another at Pawnee City,
including dozens of men and boys, all heav
ily armed, which proceeded to a timbered
spot some eleven miles south of here, and
a man hunt was engaged In for twenty
four hours, without success.
In July. 1907. Sheriff Miner got a tele
gram from the sheriff at Casper, Wyo.,
saying that Hudson was In Klneley and
that he, the sheriff, would deliver him to
the Johnson county authorities of they
would -meet him at Kinsley, and that he
claimed the reward of $200 for the appre
hension of the man, which had been made
here. Requisition papers were applied for
and Sheriff Miner and a deputy went to
Kinsley, where they met Sheriff Shaffner
of Casper, but here they were confronted
with more trouble. They found Hudson In
Jail serving a fifteen days' sentence for
carrying concealed weapons on the streets
of Kinsley. Both the marshal of the Kan
sas town and the sheriff were aware of the
fact that a reward had been offered for
Hudson, and they also knew they had the
right man. They refused to give him up
until the reward money was paid, and it
took a direct order from Governor Hoch to
enable the Johnson county officers to get
their man. (
At the October term of the district court
Hudson waa taken before Judge Kelllger
on a former charge. He pleaded not
guilty, but afterwards changed his plea
and confessed his guilt and threw himself
upon the mercy of the court. He was sen
tenced as stated and taken back to the
penitentiary at once. It developed that at
tke time Hudson came to Tecumseh he was
an escaped convict from the Iowa peniten
tiary. He had been sentenced on a forgery
charge, paroled and broke the parole by
running away and coming to Nebraska.
