JL CENT. AT r 'A and Druggists "Meridian Street, INDIANAPOLIS, IND. TRACKING A MURDERER. Watch and Pocket-Book Taken from Lucetra Marsh's House Found Near Sejmour. Special to the In.lian spoils JonrnaL Seymour, Ind. Jan. 7. Late yesterday afternoon Alln Carpenter found the watch and pocket-book that were stolen from Lucebra Marsh on New Year's morn, at Schafer's pond, north of the E. &. K. railroad half a mile from town, and returned them to Mrs. Marsh. The money had been taken ont and the articles had been thrown away to prevent identity in case of arrest. On Monday a new discovery waa made at the Marsh residence. The family had been selling milk and kept some change in a closet The thief had entered the closet and taken what was there about fl.50. The door of this closet opens hard, and perhaps it was this noise that finally awoke Mr. Marsh. Yesterday, at Columbus, James Shirley stated that he was never in Seymour. A man answering Shirley's description was here last Thursday, and, in company with another colored man, was in Henry Bruning's saloon. The bartender, Aaron Cox, said he would recognize the men positively if he ever saw them again, and went to Columbus this morning to see if .Shirley is one of the men. Dr. h. M. Mains was at Columbus, yesterday, and had Shirley try on his plaster paris shoe, wbich exactly fitted his foot when stamping his weight on it. The other cast wa taken after the ground froze, and was cot so perfect a tit. Messrs. J. II. Hodapp and Frank McGovern went to Columbus this morning to look further into the case. Your correspondent failed to state an imfortant fact yesterday, which was that rank McUovern. who is a well-known liveryman here, has never denied that he at one time owned the knife found sticking in Marsh's window th morning after the murder, and which the colored witness, William McKee, testified to having sharpened for Mr. McGovern. The knife, however, had Jong since passed out of his possession, and while it is not known just who f the possessor of it at the time. Mr. McGovern and his brother, who is a detective, are doing their best to locate the present owner. The knile, as was said before, is the most important clew turned up thus far. and if it does not lead to the capttre of th murderer, the police will have a difficult time tracing him. AT THEIR OLD TRICXS. Evansville Flooded with Ternptlnjly Baited Letters from Gotham "Green Goods" Men. Fpeelslto the Indianapolis Journal. Evansville. Ind., Jan. 7. Evansville was flooded to-day with circular letters from "green goods" dealers in New York, the greater portion of them belcg addressed to saloon-keepers. The letter is headed confidential, and states that they are desirous of obtaining a "shrewd agent" to handle their goods," which are claimed to be a superior article and run from "one to twenty," warranting them to b,e perfect as to paper, coloring, vignette, printing, engraving and signatures: also claiming they had succeeded in producing the genuine fibre paper. Their proposition is a net profit of from 10 to 1.2C0 per cent. The letter covers four pages of note paper, detailing the excellence of the "goods," and winds up with instructions how to .meet the "company's" representative. Inclosed in the letter was a slip with the address of George liriggs. No. 2&5 West One-hundred-and-tifteenth street. New York city. There was also a fake newspaper clipping purporting to be a "special dispatch to the Times." dated Washington, D. C. March C, and headed "Ilow the Treauury is Kobbed." Nearly every patrolman coming off duty this evening handed the chief of police a number of the letters, wbich were turned over to then by ralcpB-kaspsrik

O O OFF NOW Overcoats APPRENTICE TALBOirS STORY. One of the Cruiser Baltimore's Sailors Tells of the Oat race at Valparaiso. Valejo, Cat, Jan. 7. Investigation into the assault on the Baltimore's sailors in Valparaiso began this morning at Mare island, in the presence of Judge AdvocategenerAl Remy, United States District Attorney Garlier and United States Commissioner J. S. llanley. Mr. Hemy conducted tho investigation. John W. Talbott, apprentice on board the Baltimore, was the first witness. He was one of the liberty party on Sept. 1G. He stated that C. W. Kiggin, the boatswain's mate, one of the killed, was with him during the afternoon. About 3 o'clock they went together into a saloon called "the Shakspeare," in the southern part of the. town. The proprietor ordered them oat, declaring that a mob of disbanded sailors and soldiers were preparing to attack the Baltimore's men and he did not want any trouble in his place. Kiggin and Talbott laughed at the warning, but left the place and went to the "True Blue" saloon. "About 4 o'clock," Tflbott said, "Coming out I saw Riggin being threatened by Chilian sailors in man-of-war uniform. I ran across and tried to separate them. One of the Chilians spat in my face and I knocked him down. Instantly a crowd of over one hundred people appeared in the street and we started on a' run, but soon jumped on a passing car. The mob followed and stoned the car, and we were instantiv surrounded by the mob. I saw Riggin fall and tried to reach him, but was stabbed in the back and turned to run. After going a few blocks I turned into a doorway, and was again stabbed In the back, i got in. however, and went into a corner and defended myself with a chair. The mob followed me, and a Chilian sailor in man-of-war uni form stabbed me again. The bartender finally pnt them out, and barricaded the door. Tho mob clamored outside for admittance, and after an hour a policeman arrested " me and took 'me to iaIL He disguised me br substitut ing a hat for my sailor's cap, which had the word "Baltimore" on ft. so the mob would not notice that I was an American sailor. The officer turned me over to two other policemen, who strnok me several times, although I was making to resistence. I had no arms of any kind and was perfect ly sober. After a 'short time in jail I was sent to a hospital with Hamilton, Painter and Davidson, all badly hurt. We were kept there four or five days and were then sent to the ship, where I was in the hospotil fortv-live days. None except Amer ican sailors were attacked by the mob." Ihis ended Talbott s examination. The next witness was James M. Johnson. armorer of the Baltimore. "While sitting in a restaurant," he said, "I was told they were killing our men outside, and was warned not to go out. I went npstairs and .looked out at a win dow, and saw that a man was lying face down in the middle of the street, with two or three policemon and a mob of citizens around him. They were stabbing him in the back as be lay there, ihe'police made no effort to stop them. 1 left the hotel and went to the place. The man was boatswain's mate Kiggin. I turned him over and found tbe pulse still beating. I gave him a glass of liquor and a moment after he recovered, and said: "For God's sake, Johnson, take me out of this before they kill me I lifted him and drew him to one side, when I saw a squad of soldiers approaching followed by a howling mob. When within six feet the soldiers tired two shots. One grazed my left cheek. another struck Riffgin in the neck, and his head fell lrom my 6houldcr as if bis neck was broken. 1 had backed against tbe wall, but, seeing Riffgin was dead, 1 slipped oif to the side past the soldiers, and pot back into the boardlnsr-house, I saw the smoke come out of the soldiers rifles, and 1 am euro It was a soldier that shot. I heard no other shots iired." Tbe investigation will probably last a week. Will Watch the Doings of Congress. St. Louis. Jan. 7. A party of eight Creek Indians is in the city on its way to Washington "to watch the doings of Concress." as Chief L. C. Ferryman, who is in charge of the party, says. "We do the best we can to keep np this custom, added Chief 1'erryman. "We spend from 7,000 to $10,000 a year in watching the movements of Con cress. Congress, you know, is com posed of men representing all kinds of in terests, and they may spring measures that would be harmful to onr interests, and have them passed before their purpose is fully understood if we do not keep an eye on them. Measures sre sometimes advanced that would interfere with our wel fare, though they may not be intended for that purpose. Our people have line farms. and raise a large amount of stock. We spend large suras of money each year on our schools, and our people are intelligent." Ileld Responsible for a Switchman's Death Chattanooga, Tenn., Jan. 7.

WHERE IS SENATOR VOORHEES

Mr. Peffer Robs the Tall Sycamore of a Cbance to Do Some Calamity Wailing. The EewhlsVered Gentleman from Kansas In troduces a Bill for Relief of "Interest Burdened" Farmers of Indiana. Springer's First Attack on the Tariff Act to Be Made Against the u ool Section. Senator Rill Takes His Seat and All Good Democrats Rush to Do Him Homage Warning to Uncle Sam's Commercial Enemies. IT CAUSED A BROAD SMLLE. Bill to Loan Sloney to Indiana Farmers In troduced by Senator Feffer. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WAsniNGTox, Dec. 7. Senator Pefler of Kansas introduced a bill in the Senate today, at the request of the Farmers' Alliance of Madison county, which created a broad smile, hot did not tend to elevate here the organization it represented in Indiana. It was entitled, "A bill providing for the loan of money to farmers of Indiana," and was preceded by a preamble setting forth that "the people of Indiana are now laboring under the grievous burden of enormous interest charges, made possible by great scarcity of money, the direct consequence of legislation favoring tbe credit-owning capitalist and hostile to the wage-earner and producer, resulting in the enforced mortgaging of the lands of the people of Indiana to such an extent as threatens the loss of such lands to their present owners and occupants." Therefore the Secretary of the Treasury is asked, through Con gress, to issue (100,000,000 in treasury notes in denominations of $1 to full legal tender, directly to the people of Indiana, upon first-mortgage security noon any and all real estate lying within tho State, to the amount of one-half the cash value of such lands as fixed by the Board of Tax Commissioners of tbe State and set forth in the report of the board in 1S91, and as ascertained by the county auditor in eaeh of the several counties in which lands are situated. The interest to be paid by the land-owners is 1 per cent In January and June of each year, in all 2 per cent per annum. The mortgages are to be executed to the Treasurer of tho United States, payable within twenty years at the option of tbe borrower. The details of the scheme are set forth at length in the bill, providing for ascertaining the value of tbe land from time to time through the provisions of the Indiana statutes prescribing the loaning of school funds of the State and counties. The records of the mortgages are to be kept by the county auditors, and upon failure to pay principal or interest the laws of tbe State relating to the collection of school funds of the State shall apply in foreclosures. In the event of sale of lands under foreclosure they shall . be bid in by the county auditors "for the , people of tho United States in common ' arid rented 'to the occupant at a rental of 2 per cent of the cash value of such lands," and tbe occupant shall have preference over any other renter. In tbe event of abandonment of the land by the original renter, it shall be controlled and rented through tbe county in which it is located. There is also provision for covering the money into the United States Treasury and the redemption of the legal-tender notes issued. Tbe bill was re ferred to the committee on agriculture and forestry. Senator Paddock of Nebraska. chairman, where it will remain along with tho sub-treasury and warehouse schemes. stringer's free-wool bill. Following is the text of the free-wool bill drafted by Chairman Springer, of the ways and means committee, but not yet in troduced in the House by him nor ap proved by the majority of the 'ways and means committee, Mr. Springer was at first reluctant to give it out for publication in advanco of its introduction, but finally said that in view of tbe many con flicting statements which had gone out in regard to the bill, he thought it might be best, in order to avoid criticism, to make its provisions as at present drafted public It is entitled "A bill to admit all wools free of duty and to repeal the duties per pound and per squaro yard upon woolen goods," and is as follows: Jfe it Enacted Seotion 1. That on and after the first day of January, 1893, the following article, when imported, shall be exempt fromdutr, namely, all wools, hair of the camel, goat, alapaca and otber like animals, and all wools on the skin; all noils, top waste, slubblng waste. roving waste, rtag waste, yarn waste, and woolen rags, rouogo and hocks. Bectlon 1. Tbat on and after tho first day of January, 1893, tbe duties per pound Imposed in Paragraphs 391, 392, 393, 394, 395, 39t5, 397 and 31 a or , "An act to reduce tue revenue and equalize duties on imports, and for other purposes," approved Oct. 1, 1800, and the duties per square yard imposed in Paragraphs 399,400,401,402,403,404,403, 400 and 407 of said act be, and the same are hereby, refiealed, and only the ad-valorem duties imposed a all 6aid paragraphs, respectively, wbich are mentioned in this section shall thereafter be levied, collected and paid upon tbe articles men tioned in said paragrapas. me articles mentioned iu Paragraph. 408 of said act shall be sub ject to the rate of duty imposed by this aot on carpets or carpeting or ne cnaracter or description. The articles mentioned in Paragraph 390 of said act shall thereafter be subjected to a doty ox jo per cent, ad valorem. The effect of Section 2 is to wipe out all except the ad valorem duties on woolen and worsted yarns, cloths, shawls, knit fabrics, blankets, hats and flannels of wool, women's and children's dress-goods, coat liuings, Italian cloths and other goods of similar character, ready-made clothing and wearing apparel, felts, plushes and pile fabrics made partly of wool, cloaks, dolmaDS, jackets, talmas, ulsters, etc., webbings, gorings, suspenders, braces, beltings, bindings, braids, galloons, fringes, gimps, cords, cords and tassels, dress trimmings, laces and embroideries, head nets and buttons for ornaments, made principally of woolen or worsted; carpets of all kinds, druggets and bockings, mats, rugs, hassocks, art squares and otber portions of carpets or carpeting. These are what aro known as the compensatory duties to manufacturers, made because of their being required to pay duties on raw wool. The duty under Paragraph 890 of the McKinley act is fixed in Mr. Springer's bill at 30 percent, ad valorem. Paragraph 390 of tbe McKiuley act provided tbat wools and hair, in the form of roping, roving or tops, and all wool and hair advauced in any manner beyond the washed or scoured condition not specially provided for in addition to compensatory duties, shall be subject to tbe same duties, ranging from 40 to 50 per cent., as are imposed on manufactnres of wool not specially provided for. This is equivalent to a reduction (besides compensatory duties) of from 10 to 20 per cent, on roping and top wool, and wools partly advanced in mannfacture and not specially provided for. BILLS INTRODUCED IX THE HOUSE. Kepresentative Stumpf of Maryland introduced a resolution requesting the President to lay before the House any definite and positive information in the possession of tbe State Department relative to the famine in Russia, with such recommendations for action as would be within tbe power of the government: to give expression and force to tbe kindly feelings and desire to render aid on the part of citizens of the United States.

Mr. Newberry of Illinois introduced a bill in the House authorizing the Secretary of War, at his discretion, to detail, for special duty in connection with the World's Columbian Exposition, such officers of the army as may be required for the purpose. Representative Pickler introduced a bill conferring tbe privilege of free admission to the world's fair upon all who served in the Union army or navy during the war under regulations to be framed by tbe Secretary of the Interior and the World's Columbian Commission.

Mr. Miller of Wisconsin introduced a resolution authorizing tbe Secretary of the Navy to detail enough vessels of the navy to carry to Russia the contributions of citizens of tbe United States for the relief of the starving inhabitants of Russia. ALL HAIL! MIGHTY HILL!

Democrats Tumble Over One Another In Their Desire to Bow to a New Senator. Special to the Indianapolis JournaL , Washington, Jan. 7. It was made quite clear to-day, in the Induction of ex-Gov. David B. Hill, of New York, into the Senate, that he is at once to be accorded, with Senator Gorman, of Maryland, the leadership of the Democratio party, and that he will co-operate with the latter in driving nails into the political coffin of ex-President Grover Cleveland. No man was ever accorded more, and probably no one as much, deference by his party colleagues as was given Mr. HilL The Democrats bared their heads whenever he appeared in the corridors of the Capitol, and were eager to suspend their work whenever he approached them on the floor of tbe Senate, and all paid him homage the entire day. Senator Hill is the Democratio lion of Washington now, and it is said tbat quite all of the Democrats in Congress have assured him of their wish that he shall be their next presidential candidate. One seldom hears Mr.. Cleveland name mentioned here now. Mr. Hill was sworn in shortly after the opening of the Senate to-day, and was given places on the committees on immigration, Territories, interstate commerce and relations with Canada. The Senator remained in his seat for an hour after the adjournment of the Senate to-day. He was an object of interest to tbe people which then had entrance to the hall, and was much discussed and pointed at by the knots of spectators who gathered in the rear of the desks. Ha oscnpied the seat formerly filled bv Senator Jlamptoh, of South Carolina, in tbe last row on tho Democratio side of the chamber. Senator Hill watched the short proceedings to-day with much interest, and ' when Captain Bassett's four beils signaled adjournment, he remarked, jocularly, that the session had been too short to admit of his distinguishing himself. There aro now ten Senators who have notified the caucus committee of their ability and willingness to serve on tbe appropriations committee in the place formerly held by Mr. Plumb. Although Senator Perkins, in view of his congressional experience, is likely to fare much better than is usually the ease with new Senators in assignment to committees, it is not probable that ho can succeed to this much-coveted place, so tbat tbe caucus committee, unable to fall back upon the rule of succession, is in a dilemma. One of its members said to-day that the membership of the appropriations committee would probably be increased, notwithstanding the understanding reached at tbe beginning of the present session that it would be allowed to shrink .to its former membership of nine when a vacancy ensued in the natural course of events. If some such measure of relief is not atiorded it is feared that the Western Senators who favor a division of tbe general appropriation bills among the leading committees of the Senate will carry their point through the aid of certain Senators from the older States, who are disappointed in their desire to get places on the all-powerful appropriations committee. FAIR WARNING. ' 'Products of Countries Without Reciprocity Treaties Most Pay Duty After March IS. Va8HIngtok, Jan. 7. In view of the provision in the reciprocity section of the tariff law of Oct 1, 1690, making it the duty of the President, after Jan. 1, 1802, to suspend, .by proclamation, the free admission of sugars, ' molasses, coffee, tea and hides against such countries producing these articles as after that date maintain tariff duties upon American agricultural and other products which he may deem unequal and unreasonable, the President submitted to the Attorney-general the question whether the law authorized him to issue a proclamation fixing a future day when tho duties imposed by virtue of tbe proclamation would take effect The Attorney-general has given an opinion that the duties must attach and be collected on and after the date of the proclamation, and that a future day cannot be named by the President Owing to this decision and tothefaet that justice to importers of the articles named in Section S of the tariff law requires that reasonable notice should be given of tbe President's intended action. Secretary Braine to-day sent notes to the diplomatic representatives in this city of AustriaHungary, Colombia, Haytl, Nicaragua, Honduras, Spain, for the Phillipine islands, and Venezuela, informing them that on tho 15th of March next the President would issue his proclamation, nnlees in the meantime some satisfactory reciprocity arrangement should be made with the countries named, declaring that, in view of the free admission of the articles named in Section 3 of the tariff law. the products of those countries, be deemed their tar ills on the agricultural and other products of the United States to be recipro cally unequal and unreasonable, and that as against the countries named he would issue his proclamation March 15 next, suspendmg the provisions of tbe tariff law relating to the free introduction into tbe United States of sugars, molasses, collee, tea and hides, the product of or exported from such countries, and on and after tbat date the duties fixed in Section 3 would be imposed on these articles. The notice to Spain, however, only applies to tbe Phillipine islands. Negotiations with France and some other countries have reached such a stage as, in tbe opinion of the President, to warrant tbe Secretary of State in withholding notice to them of a proclamation ntiecting their products. Tbe following is tbe fnll text of recretary Blaine's cote to the minister of Venezuela, and the others are in similar terms: "sir I am directed by the President to again bring to your attention tbe provisions of the tariff law of tbe Congress of the United States approved Oct 1, 1&0, in whlcii provision was made fez ta cto

Special to tbe Indianapolis JonrnaL New Albany, Ind., Jan. 7. Tbe southbound fast passenger train on the Monon was wrecked on the Salt-creek bridge, near Bedford, this afternoon. The cold weather caused the trucks on the forward end of the baggage car to break, and they dropped, lodging between the bridge timber in such a manner that the trucks on all tbe other cars were pulled from their fastenings. The momentum of tbe train was sufficient to slide all the coaches over the broken truoks. All the coaches, except the chair car, cleared the bridge and rolled down an eight-foot embankment, where they caught fire. The flames were extinguished before any great damage had been done by fire, and the work of rescuing the passengers began. 3trango as it may seem only four persons were seriously injured. Miss Adams, of Nashville, was so badly hurt that her life la despaired of. Another Womjln and her Daugutlb were very seriously injured, but the railroad officials refuse to divulge their names or residence. James Osgood, a traveling man from Chicago, had both legs broken and wus inlured internally. James Jexmxo, conductor, was slightly injured, as were a score or more of the passengers, whose names could not be learned. The engine also left the track, but engineer Mnir and his fireman escaped by jumping. Tbe chair-ear, which contained elgteen passengers, was thrown upon its side, one end projecting over the broken bridge. All of the floor timbers of tbe bridge were displaced. The bridge is badly wrecked, and the top will have to be entirely rebuilt The north-bound passenger train could not pass tbe wreck to-night and was sent out over the J.. M. & I. Two years ago sir nersons were killed in a wreck at this same point Wrecking trains have been sent from here and from Lafayette, and all north-bound freight trains have been abandoned. Came Near Being a Bad Wreck. Special totbs Indianapolis Journal. Anderson, Ind., Jan. 7. A rear-end collision caused no little excitement at the Big Four yards this morning. A freight train in charge of Conductor King, with engineer 8chrechengass at tbe throttle, was standing on the main traok while tbe conductor and engineer were getting orders at the station. The train was long, and occupied a sharp curve. An east-bound pas senger, engineer Freeman driving, was coming into tho city under a full head of steam. The prssenger was on the rear end of the freight before the danger was discovered. Reversing his lever and applying the brakes, he and his fireman had barely time to jump before the crash, which drove the engine through the caboose and sent the psssengera sprawling on the floor. The caboose took tire and an alarm was turned in. Tbe whole train was threatened for a time, and a roost serious conflagration might have occurred, as tbe train contained several oil-tanks in close proximity. The caboose was detached, however, and the trained moved out while an express ; illed the passenger out of the wreck. Luckily no one was injnred. The engine was badly wrecked, and the train delayed an hour. Dead Woman Robbd. New Youk, Jan. 7. Anna 31. Donigan, seventy years of age, fell dead this evening on the street within a few door of her home in this city. Before her body was removed to her appartments her fingors were stripped of their valuable diamond rings, and a bracelet of gold and enamel was torn from her wrist. She occupied rooms at "The Judson" with her sen, Ch.irles W. Dunigan. one of tbe principal performers in the Lillian Russell company, now slav ing here. When the woman fell several men rushed, apparently to aid her. bnt as tbe results showed, to rob her. Her gloves were torn from her bands on tbe pretense of chafing them, and the rings were deftly slipped from her fingers and bracelets from her wrists. Stock-Yards Deal. St. Louis. Jan. 7. A special meeting of the board of direetors of the National stock-yards, of St. Clair county. Illinois, will be held on Jan. 21. to consummate the sale of tbe present stock of the company to Western capitalists. Nelson Morris, of Chicago, is the central figuro in the big deal.

AYENGING A SHERIFF'S DEATH

Blood Again Flows in the Troubled Portion of Southwestern Kansas. Fear of Dnnn'i Sl&jers tnd Jajge Eotl!ns Wcnld-Be Atsassins Shot to Death Whils Trjloff to Reach No Uan'i Land. Ten-Mile Cbaso Followed by a Lively Running Fight of Four Miles More. Several Arrests JIade by Deputies and Soldlcrt atArkalon and Springfield Fears of an At tempted Rescue and Further Bloodshed. ANOTHER FIGU.T IN KANSAS. Four of Sheriff Dana's Slayers Shot While Trying to Eacapa to No Man's Land. Arkalon, Kan., Jan. 7. Tho bloodshed arising from the long-continued trouble in southwestern Kansas is not yet ended. Deputy sheriffs hare partially avenged tho death of Sheriff Dunn. It is not known to be a positive fact hut it seems more than likely that as a result of the attempt of tho deputies to bring tbe slayers of the sheriff to Justice and force an expiation of the murder, four of the outlaws were killed this afternoon. The report however, needs confirmation before absolute reliance ran be placed upon it So far as is known these are the facts: A courier arrived here at noon from tho south line of the State. He reports a running conflict between tho fleeing desperadoes and an armed posse of pursuers. According to his report there were two wagons loaded with fifteen of the men participating in the Canyon battle. They had been encamped in a gmlch south of Springfield, where they were discovered. They saw their pursuers at about the same moment and then commenced a life-and-death race. For ten miles the two parties were not within firing distance, but just before dusk tho pursuing party came within less than a quarter of a mile of the desperadoes, and then firing commenced. The running fighb was kept np on a level plain for a distance of four miles. Following one fusillade men were seen to tumble from their seats in tho wagon, one in one and three in tho other. It could not be ascertained whether they were killed or wounded. Tho pursuing party finding tbat their jaded horses would not carry them further, made a detour of some half a milo to a ranch where they procured fresh horses and the raco was resumed. The courier started back from that point He eays tbe pursuing party, numbering fourteen men, would follow the desperadoes into No Man's Land, if necessary, and v bring them back dead or alive. Another courier is hourly expected, and with htm -news of a battle, in which one side er tho other will have sustained eerious loss of lifc- m SITUATION AT ARKALON. The Militia on Gnard Several Arrests Made Judge Ilotkln FaiU to Hold Court. Arkalon. Kan., Jan. 7. Company II of the State militia, under command of Capt. Hester, arrived here last night, and is camped in some vacant store-rooms. A number of people wsre gathered about tbe streets engaged in discussing the situation, and wor iering what the outcome would be, but they displayed no arms. The military had a quieting and soothing eflect np on them, also. Contrary to a report circulated freely. Judge Botkin did not come to Springfield at all. The Judge intended to open and adjourn court at 10 o'clock this morning, under the prptection of the militia, but tho project was abandoned and he went to Pratt to attend the funeral of Sheriff Dunn. At 11 o'clock the attorneys of Springlicld decided to eleot a temporary judge and to call a special venire at the instance of the county attorney. CoL J. IL Kicksecker and staff have established beadqnarters in an empty building, which is about 12x14 feet in size. A few blank checks appear to indicate that a banking business was once carried on inside of the building. A ton of bran stored in tbe room, in addition to tho officers' traps, adds to tbe incongruity of the surroundings. Apparently every one who is said to have conneetion with tho killing of Sheriff Dunn bas vanished. Tho six oificers who survived the attack say there wero fifty men at leatt in tbe attack ing party. They filled three covered wag ons, and many were on horseback. Not oni can be found. Adjutant-general Roberts pent a diipatcl to Governor Humphrey this afternoon stating that be had arrested and was hold ing four prisoners. Ho added that be anticipated no trouble as long as tbe troop remained. Adjutant-general Roberts received the following reply: "You are only to hold prisoners until warrants can be socured and served upon them. There- should be no unnecessary delay in this." It was learned to-day tbat tbe party killing Dunn, wbich numbered about fifty men, were made up of details from the counties of Howard. Stevens. (J rant. Morton and Haskell. Threats have been made in each of these five counties that in rase Judge Botkin attempted to opn court in either he will be killed, and tbe threats came from men known to be desperadoes. The scenes in this county are leared in each of tbe other counties. At 1 o'clock this morning a young man named Kstes was arrested at bis home in Fargo and brought here, where be is held by the troops. It is alleged tbat ho was ons of the party that killed Dunn. laki:aiief.'s hide. One of the incidents of this trouble was the ride of Joe Larrabee, one of tho men with Dunn when murdered After tbe fight Larrabeo, with three others, were chased to Sprmgtield by serenteen of tho murderous gang, and although within reach of the singing. bullets, they escaped unhurt Undaunted by his experience, Larrabeo started out toarousa the country. He rode back to bis own home, changed horse, and then struck ouL lie rdo lrom Springfield to Hugoton and called on Sberifi Conn to aid in beading off thd escaping gang, and . Conn promptly summoned a poMe, bnt refused to do anything until he rode back to Farco and held a conference with Judge Botkin. This would take him out of the chase. Itwuaile-
