INDIAN TROUBLES.
Th» 8 foatlon. Arrardlnf to Dlifktflhfl
la Still Vary Oravr.
Milks Citv, Mont., June s.—bherif
Oibb returned last night from th<
- Cheyenne agency. He says the Indini
situation is very grave, indeed. H<
reports i*00 or more Indians off th<
reservation and scattered in the hills
Their war whoops can be heard fre
quently and the dancing continues
Old settlers look for trouble.
The sheriff's posse, 300 strong,undei
. command of Stock Inspector Smith
and Captain Brown, are now stationed
in small numbers in and abont the set
tlements near the reservation to pro
tect the remaining settlers and pre
vent the destruction of property by
the Indians
Indian agent Stouch would not de
Hrcr the prisoner, Stanley, up to the
elicriff when called upon to do so,
saying he was afraid, hut ho agreed
to escort Stanley off the reservation
Friday with the troops and deliver
him to the authorities. The Sheriff
placed Captain Stouch under arrest,
but left him at liberty until he will be
summoned by County Attorney Porter.
The sheriff also lias a warrant for
Captain Reid, who has charge of the
troops from Fort Custer located at the
reservation.
Lke, Mont., June 3.--The latest ad
vices from the scene of the Cheyenne
Indian trouble are to the effect that
Standing Elk has confessed complicity
in the murder of John Hoover, the
herdsman, implicating Philip Stanley,
Sam Crow and Chief Red Bird. Cap^
tain Stouch, the Indian agent, will
surrender the prisoners to Sheriff Gibb
Friday, but it is not likely they will
ever reach Miles City, as the settlers
seem determined to lynch them.
Stanley and Rod Bird, his wife, ware
captured by Indian police while on
their way to join the Sioux Indians at
Standing Hock Agency, in North Da
kota, and were put in the guard house
at once, under a strong guard.
In compliance wjth the insistent de
mand of Agent Stouch, Chief White
Bull bad ascertained and made known
to the agent the name of Hoover's
murderer as Philip Stanley, a Chey
enne Indian, a member of his band.
Stanley confessed the crime to both
Chief White Bull and to his (Stanley’s)
father, Badger.
The settlors will commence to re
turn to their homes to-morrow. It is
certain that troops will be kept at
Camp Merritt for some time, as the
young bucks are not satisfied with the
capture of tlio two Indians and may
give more trouble.
John Hoover, the person.kllled, was
the son of Monroe Hoover, who resides
at Everton, Dade county. Mo. He was
a young man, who had but recently
come to Montana. Ilia body was
buried where it was found. .
DEBS’ PLANS.

Denver, Col., June 4.—The Rev.
Myron W. Reid, national president of
the Brotherhood of the Co-operative
Commonwealth, of which Eugene V.
Debs and Henry D. Lloyd are the chief
.promoters, said to-day:
"Tho experiment wilt first be tried
in Utah. Wo have chosen Utah
cause the . Mormons have already"
proved that co-operation in many
ways can be made a success. Our idea
is to establish co-operative commun
ities of 1,500 people In each commun
ity. We believe that in a community
of 1,500, picked up as wo find them,
will be discovered about the right ma
terial necessary for the different vo
cations. When the system has been
made a success in Utah its friends can
proceed to carry tho educational fa
cilities into other statca”
It is the intention to select a loca
tion for tho first community next fall,
so that the settlers may move upon
the land and break ground for crops
next spring. The region in Utah be
tween tho Rio Grande Western and the
Union Pacific railways is advocated
by somo as the location of an ideal
community, and others advocate a
valley near Sonora, N. M. Tho head
quarters of the brotherhood is at pres
ent in Thomaston, Me., the home of
the national secretary, N. W. Ler
mond. The total membership has
reached 1,844.

Is DIANA rous, Ind., June 4.—The
Appellate court to-day affirmed a
judgment in favor of an undertaker
at Bloomington against John Soott, a
wealthy man, who has declined to
meet expenses arising from the burial
of his wife. The wife had left her
husband because of his alleged cruelty,
and she depended for support upon the
labor of a little son employed in a
quarry. After her death and burial
‘the undertaker charged up the ex
penses to her husband, and on refusal
to pay the court below gave judgment
for the entire amount. The Appellate
aourt sustained this judgment and
added 10 per cent damages.

A PLEA FOR WOOL
■t ::
i IIsd titan's Senator Talk* for Two Halid
Hoora on the Subject.
! VVasmsoTox, June 3.—Senator Man*
i tie addressed the Senate for two hours
i to-day upon the subject of wool. He
i declared that by reason of the enor
i auu8 importations in anticipation of
the enactment of the tariff law the
wool grower would not receive much
benefit from a protective tariff for
four years to come.
He asserted that whenever a tariff
law is to be enacted the powerful
manufacturing interests of the coun
try, with their compact and effective
organizations, are always upon the
ground pressing their claims, while
the farmers and wool growers and pro
ducers of raw materials generally are
an isolated and scattered class and
were thus lacking in effective organi
zation, The tariff bill as it passed the
House and as now amended by the
Senate, he said, utterly failed to meet
the expectations of the wool growers
and is regarded by them largely as a
repudiation of the Republican pledge
of “ample protection for wool.”
He asserted that the McKinley law
had not afforded the necessary pro
tection to the wool growers and quoted
statistics to prove the assertion. The
senator quoted Senator Aldrich's state
ment that the proposed senate rates
would give from 10 to U0 percent mors
protection to the wool growers than
it had ever received under any fgrmdf
tariff, and produced statistics to shbw
mat the proposed rates were much
lower instead of being higher.
Referring to the large importation
of cheap Chinese and other wool pro
duced by like cheap labor, and which
comes into competition with American
grown wools at such rates of dutv
which, Mr. Mantle said, afford no pro
tection whatever, he inquired if this
policy was not quite as hurtful to the
American wool grower as Chinese
cheap labor to the industrial wage
earners of the country.
"If the laborer himself comes,” he
said, "he may perhaps be induced to
^cooperate with our own laborers for
the protection of labor interests; he
can be talked to and reasoned with,but
the American wage earner cannot
argue with a box of cheap foreign
merchandise, neither can the Ameri
can farmer argue with a bale of cheap
Chinese wool.”
RESPITE FOR DURRANT.
The California Murderer Not to ttaeg
for at bait Six Month*.
Sax Francisco, June 5.—The attor
neys for Theodore Durrant again ap
peared before Judge Gilbert, in the
United States circuit court, yesterday
and applied for a writ of supersedeas
for the purpose of staying the execu
tion of the sentence, but this was de
nied by the court. An application for
leave to appeal from this decision to
the supreme court of the United States
was then granted. Although it is an"
open question whether, in view of tho
denial of the writ of supersedeas, the
order of the court acts as a stay of
proceedings. Attorney General Fitz
gerald wired to Warden Halo to take
no action in the premises, pending tho
appeal.
As the United States supreme court
does not meet again until October
next, this virtually means a respite
for six months at least

LYNCH LAW IN OHIO.
A NEGRO ASSAULTER DEALT
WITH BY A MOB.
A Right of Riga and Terror In a Qnlel
Ohio Town — Victim of the Mob
Kicked to Death Before Being
Hanged — Intenae Feeling
Agalnet the Mllltln.
Hnnjr by s Mob.
Urban A, Ohio, June S.—“Chick”
Mitchell, s negro, yesterday pleaded
guilty to, and was sentenced to twenty
years in the state penitentiary for a
criminal assault oa Mrs. Eliza Gau-*
mer, the widow of the late publisher
of the Urbana Democrat. The town*
people were' greatly incensed at the
sentence, which they declared to be
too light.
At 2:30 o'clock this morning a mob
of citizens attacked the jail to take
and hang Mitchell, and was tired upon
by the militia. Two of the mob, Har
ry Bell and a man of the name of Hig
gins, were killed and eight others
wounded.
At 7:30 o’clock this morning the fur
ther enraged mob broke into the jail,
took Mitchell out and hanged him to a
tree in the court house yard in the
presence of hundreds of women and
thousands of men and boys. .
Mrs. Gaumer was too ill to be in
court yesterday, and the man was,
therefore taken to her home for iden
tification. As he entered the door she
raised herself on her elbow and ex
claimed: ' ,
“The brute! Hang him! How dare
you face me, you brute?”
In default of $1,000 bail Mitchell
was looked up in the city prison, but
on account of the feeling was removed
to the county jail for safe keeping.
Last night a mob gathered and de
manded Mitchell. Governor Bushnell
was called on for assistance by the
sheriff, but he refused to order the
militia from any other place.
The crowds would not disperse. The
excitement grew more and more in
tense. Night inflamed the excitement
and the streets were thronged. Yells
were heard all around the jail.
Finally, at 3:30 o'clock this morning,
the mob attacked the jail. The militia
fired on the attacking party and struck
more innocent spectators than active
law breakers. After the firing of the
militia into the crowd Governor Bush
nell was wired for more troops and
ordered Company B of tho Third in
fantry, at Springfield, to proceed at
once to Urbana. At 7:10 o’clock the
Springfield soldiers arrived, thirty-six
Btrong and were marched to the jail.
Angry citizens, incensed over the
killing of their townsmen by the mili
tia at 3:30 o'clock a. m., were further
irritated by the appearance of more
troops. Crowds gathered along the
streets and greeted the soldiers with
hootings and all sor.ts of insulting re
marks.
The excitement was grow ing so fast
that another clash between troops and
citizens seemed inevitable. Mavor
Ganson thereupon took the responsi
bility of urging tho Springfield com
pany to return to the depot The or
der was obeyed.
No sooner did the crowd perceive
this apparent retreat by the soldiers
than their fierce demand for the blood
of Mitchell grew stronger.
The local military company had pre
viously refused* to s, /e longer and
went to the second story of the sher
iff’s residence and tried to sleep.
' THE NEGRO LYNCHED.
With no resistance offered, the crowd
at once made a rush for the side door
‘of the ja.il. Two strong and deter
mined men kicked it down in short
order and gained admission to the cor
ridor, the crowd following. There
were plenty of sledge hammers,
chisels and - other tools in the crowd
and tho men went to work.
The crowd got into the jail quickly.
It did not wait to unlock the door to
Mitchell’s cell, but burst the lock with
a sledge hammer and the door soon
flew open. Mitchell was standing in
his cell and offered no resistance and
did not utter a word. Some one in
the crowd had a rope and it was
placed over the brute's neck and the
crowd made fot the door, Mitchell fol
lowing ut the end.
In going down the steps on the out
side of the jail Mitchell fell down and
the rope slipped off his neck. The
crowd surrounded him and jumped on
him like a thousand hungry dogs after
one bone.
J.UB Be)?™ was kicuvu, oeaien ana
almost killed. The rope was again
slipped over his head and a rush made
for a tree in the southeastern corner
of the courtyard in front of the court
house. The end was thrown over a
good strong limb and willing hands
pulled the wretch up. The end was
tied to the iron fence and Mitchell
was left hanging thero in full view of
several thousand people.
The men who took part in the lynch*
ing made no attempt to disguise them*
selves, but it is not known who did
thttwork. The person who attempts
to find out, it is freely stated, will get
into serious trouble.
It is doubtful if Mitchell died from
the effects of the hanging. His life
had been almost kickt-d out of him
when he fell down. It is the general
opinion that he was unconscious when
strung up His body was left hang
ing for an hour or more, and the peo
ple of the city flocked to see it.
The feeling in Urbana against the
militia is intense. Public opinion is to
the effect that there was no occasion
for the general shooting into the
crowd, and that a little firmness on the
part of the sheriff and other officers
was only necessary in order to arrest
the ringleaders and pacify the mob
when it made its first attack on the
1aiL V.&
Kansas farmer Murdered,
Independence, Kan., June 5.—Last
night James Pennington, a farmer
living about three miles west of here,

search was made this morning and his
body was found in the stream. His
head had been crushed. A neighbor,
who had made threats against the
murdered man, is suspectuil, and will
bo arrested, _
If the landed surface of the globe

HOW ABOUT ALFALFA?
T°° Mnolt lea la Spot* Interfere* With
It* Growth.
What killed the alfalfa last winter?
This is the question that is being vari
ously answered, but by no means in a
satisfactory manner, says the Ord
Quiz. But even a more difficult ques
tion is why it should be killed in spots.
Fields and portions of fields apparently
subject to the same conditions are in
one instance bare and in another grow
ing to luxuriant alfalfa. While the
answer to the latter question must be
made after an examination of each in
dividual case, it must be remembered
that there is an answer, for there is no*
effect without a cause. The Quiz
clings to the belief that the large
amount of moisture last winter, freez
ing in some cases a heavy coating of
ice over the ground, is fruitful cause
for much of the dead alfalfa. It is a
fact well proven that a heavy coating
of ice will kill well-rooted grasses.
Even the hardy bluegrass cannot stand
such an ordeal. Many proofs of this
can be found in this vicinity. Mr. E.
•T. Clements killed a patch of his blue
grass lawn by allowing the water to
flow onto it from his water tank last
winter, forming, a heavy coat of ice.
And there are other instances that may
be cited. That such a condition is
fatal to alfalfa is shown in the case of
the writer's alfalfa. He has two
patches on slightly sloping ground, so
that the water cannot stand anywhere
except in the dead-furrow. The
Mi-uu(;esi grass last year was in inis
furrow, but this spring the alfalfa is
dead there, while elsewhere the stand
is better than last year. It may be that
the appearance of bare spots in your
field may be explained by the forma
tion of drifts last winter which had
later partially thawed, thus forming
ice spots.
Pasturing the field is undoubtedly
injurious or dangerous at the least.
Cutting at improper times may also
prove injurious. . One or all of these
conditions may have conspired to kill
your alfalfa. And the varying combi
nation of them may explain the un
sightly spots in your field. . ,
It must be remembered that last
winter was a severe one on other crops
that have to withstand the rigors of
winter. Winter wheat looked well till:
March, then it was found to be dead.
Our farmers should not, therefore, be
too hasty in condemning the growing
alfalfa. It is too valuable a crop to be
experimented with indifferently or
meagerly. We believe it is the hay
crop for Nebraska, and that when we
understand it better we will have no
special difficulty in raising it success
fully.
Happily the first reports of failures
seem to have been exaggerated. Fields
that looked at first to have been badly
damaged have come out all right after
all.
Inviting Immigration.
The passenger department of the
Burlington has been moving to secure
immigration into Nebraska, ahd will
have an exhibit of Nebraska products
under the care of an experienced Ne
braskan at the county fairs next fall
in Illinois. In speaking of the matter.
Assistant General Passenger Agent
Smith said:
“We believe that the wave of Jmmigimtlon
ts beginning and that Nebraska was never In
better shape to attract settlers than at pres
ent. What Is wantea Is all Interested to push
on the wheel at once. We think that by ex
hibiting onr products at the state and county
fairs In Illinois we shall be able to Interest
thousands of renters who are anxious to come
west, and that wo can prove that Nebraska Is
the best agricultural state In tho Trans-Mis
stsslppt country. They want to come west
where they can own their own homes and Ik;
Independent of the landlords, and no state
offers better Inducements than Nebraska."
No Traffic Agreement Made.
General Passenger Agent Lomax of
the U. P. contradicts the dispatch from
San Francisco that the Union Pacific
and Southern Pacific have made a new
traffic agreement whereby the two will
do the Portland business independent
of the Short Line and Oregon railway
and navigation. Mr. Lomax says
that the Portland sleepers will con
tinue to run as heretofore and the old
agreements in effect for San Francisco
will remain in effect.
