Yesterday morning upon the convening
ing of the district court the case of th
state against ox-Mayor Ghaao , indicia
for bribery , was taken up before Ju
Neville. The state was represented b ;
District Attorney Godwin and J. 1 !
Moriarily , nnd the defendant by .1. M
Thurslon , W. J. Connell and Simoo
Uloom. The three regular panola c
petit jurors boinp exhausted two spocia
venires of fifteen jurors each were issue
by the court and served by the sheriff
Many jurors had formed opinions , nearly
thirty of ttoao called into the box bein
excused for cause. The state oxorciso' '
all itu peremptory challenges , the defon
dnnt waiving two.
At. ( p. m. the work of Rotting n jury
waa completed , John Quinn being the
last juror called into the box , who , when
ho hnd stated ho could render it fair nd
impartial verdict from the evidence adduced
ducod upon the trial , was accepted by the
defendant's counsel , after a long conference
enco among them. The following are th <
names of the jnrorn : G. W. Young , 3
0. Knlglit , Harry M. Haynes , W. W ,
Porter , C. II. Griflin , William White
Andrew Joerp , Mitchell Chapman , 0. J.
Tyler , John Little , II. B. Iroy , Johr
Quinn.
The court , upon the empaneling of the
jury , directed the district attorney to
atato hia caco to the jurors. Mr. God
win , in presenting his nido , wont briefly
over the history of the alleged transac
tions of certain city officials with the
gamblers , in which the district attorney
charged that Chase had received inonoy
through his ngont to allow them to keep
open. lie reviewed the corrupt bargain
entered into with Guthrip. and stated
that the then mayor rocoivcd a certain
portion of it.
Mr. Thuraton , for the defence , said al
ho know about the ovidcnco was what
Mr. Godwin hnd stated to the jury. II
said ho know and thought ho could load
the jury tobollovo that Ool. Chase had
never issued an order to close the gam
bllng houses. It was true that after the
gambling houses had boon closed , the
gamblers did como to the mayor and they
were referred by him to the city marshnf
whoao duty ho said it was to look after
this business. The defendant , ho know ,
never rocoivcd n dollar , directly or indi
rectly , from the gamblers , and If other
officials did ho had no part or lot in the
matter.
"Gall your first witness , " said Judqo
Neville , upon the conclusion of Mr.
Thurston's statement. "Roger 0. Guth
rio" called tha district attorney , and the
familiar form of Omaha's ox-marshi"
arose from a Boat in the farther corner
within the rail. Mr. Outline , who had
been brought in from Lincoln yesterday
morning by deputy sheriff Crowell , to
testify for the state , took the witness
stand , th2 cynosure of the whole room.
The ox-mnrehal , with the exception of
being a little flashier and being beardless
docs not BJOIII to have changed with his
prison lifo. Mr. Baldwin , his attorney
on his trial , appeared us his counsel fo
him yesterday , to protect him from giv
ing any evidence that might criminal' '
him upon the indictment still pending
iigainst him.
MU. OUTIIUIK'S TESTIJIONV.
Ho had been acquainted with Col
Chaeo for about ten years ; had boon city
marshal nud chief of pollca in 1883 and
1881 ; ho was appointed by Champion S ,
Chase , who wan at that time mayor ol
the city of Omaha ; the witness had lived
in Omaha fourteen years ; was acquainted
with S. 0. Baldwin , Capt. Smith , Charles
Branch , Hiram KonnodyGoodly Bruckor
and Jack Morrison. Upon the quostioi
whether or not the gambling houses o
Bruckor it Morrir.on , Baldwin & Kennedy
nody , Uiggina and others were closed
under oflicial orders , Mr. Guthrie declined
clinod to answer on the ground ot impli
eating himlolf.
Mr. Baldwin arose for the witness and
stated ho was not of counsel in the case ,
but said the question was ono on the
threshold of othora that , ohould they bo
replied to with a certain answer , would
criminate him. There nro ether indict'
meuts pending against the witness and
ho should bo allowed to stand upon his
constitutional rights nnd not bo com
pelled to furnlah evidence against him-
oulf. Mr. Thuraton argued the propo
sition at some length , stating that any
link , nnd this question is one , in the
chain of evidence against the witness ho
should , not bo compelled to furnish.
The court hold the question
ono the answer to which might
bo used against him in
the perjury and bribery indictments
now pending against him. Mr. Godwin
accordingly withdrew the interrogatory.
The district attorney then asked him if
know there were closed. Witness de
clined to answer ou the same grounds
and was sustained by the court. Mr.
Guthrie also declined to answer by whoso
direction they were closed.
Mr. Godwin then asked the witness
whether or not ho received SJiOO in July
of 1881) ) , from Charles Branch to allow
the gambling house to open. Mr. Bald
win , before the question was put , object
ed for the reason that Guthrio'a declina
tion to answer the question could bo
used agdinat him when witniw' oiao WAI
ro.tried in thu district court. The wit
ness stood upon his rights and was mis'
tained by court. After considerable
argument as to whether or not the wit-
nose should state when 1m declined to
answer that he declined bccauao the
answer might crlminnto him , the court
said ho would state it for the witness.
"Did you not have an agreement
with certain gamblers that upon the pay
ment of SHOO on July Ifilh , nnd StfO per
mouth from each of them afterwards , you
would allow them to open their houses ,
aud did you not receive the laet nninad
amount per month until April , 1884 ? "
wan the next intcrrrgatory ot Mr. Good-
win. Witness agrin declined to answer.
_ "Dld you not of certain moneys ro.
coived by you from gamblers in the ciiy
pay to Champion H , Chasa the sum of
$ 170 ? " Witness declined.
"Did not you nnd the defendant in
July , 1880 , have a conversation nbout
the gambling houses when an agreement
was made to the effuot that they should
bo taxed , und was not about $900 received -
ceived by you by virtue of thia itgreo-
ment ? " The witness refused to answer
'Did you at any lime while marshal of
Omnha pay any sum of money to the do-
fvndaut received by you from gamblers
or Irom them through thhd persoub ? "
Witjicsi njj-iln duclliicd.
At thin puint in thu an , ) Mr. G id win. . .
atoie and taid ho iiishod u tu'iu ' of the u
court upon n proposition of law which If
decided adversn to him would practically
end his case. The district attorney in
sisted that when a witness hnd once
waived his right of piotecllon from the
court ho could no longer Iny claim to it
and could be compelled to answer , it ap
pearing from Mr. Godwin's remarks that
Mr. Guthrie hnd at ono time made a full
disclosure in the grand jury room. The
court decided that it was his present
opinion that his waiver would not affect
the right claimed by him at the present
timo. Court then adjourned to ! ) : HO
o'clock this morning , nt which time the
question will bo argupd at length by the
counsel for both parlies.
Another Huddrn Dentil.

curred nt the boarding house of Mr. Sar

n young man named John C , Gass went

room nt 10 o'clock , but shortly afterwards

slight hemorrhage of the throat onsua'L
Dr. Darrow was called and niter working
with the sick man for a time , loft him
fooling much bettor. Shortly after the
doctor took his leave thu young man was
tnkon with vomiting and while in a con
vulsion , ruptured an artery and death
quickly followed.
Ills remains were takn to Drexel
Maul's undertaking rooms , where they
will remain until hia friends can bo lior.rd
from.
The deceased was about 2 ! ! years of
go and was n native ot Stony Forkp ,
Pennnylvanin , Ho said before his death
that liia father nnd brother had both

been suffering with the dhoaso ; and also
that ho was subject to epileptic fits.
General Gllilicm'n Jtcporl.
OMAHA , NKIIHASKA , Oct. 0 18SI , J
The Assistant Adjutant General , Di
vision of the Missouri , Chicago , Illinois
Sir ; I have the honor to submit the
following aa the annual report of thia de
partment :
Pursuant to paragraph 11 , special or
ders No. 40 , A. G. O. , current sorioa , I
assumed command of thia dopnrtmout on
the Oth of March last General Uoward
having loft the department on that day.
Slnco that date. 1 have visited and in-
apoctod ovcry peat in the department.
The troopa nro generally in a satisfactory
condition of drill and discipline , well
supplied and cnrod for , but not
in all caeca properly sheltered
at some of the posts ,
notably at Forta Douglas , Bridgor , Rus-
ooll and Laramie , they are inconvenient
ly crowded , but with the now quarters
soon to bo erected at Fort Russell nnd
the now company barracks at Fort
Wnshnkio with aomo now additions at
Forta Douglas and Bridgor , nil the troopa
now In the department will bo bettor and
moro comfortably accommodated by
making nouio few transfers of companion.
When thia ia done I urgently recommend
that regiments be consolidated as fur as
possible ) nt adjacent posts , and regimental
commanders bo required to visit and in
spect all the companies of their regi
ments. At present , from the necessities
of the caao , some of the regiments are
scattered at three or four different poats ,
sometimes widely separated , the Twon ty
first infantry at livo.
The good eil'oct of consolidating regi
ments has been well demonstrated In the
case of the Oth Infantry , nnw all stationed
at Fort Douglas , and should nn occasion
arise the beneficial results , would , I think ,
bo even moro fully shown.
The posts of Forts Robinson aud Nlo-
brara are well located ns picket posts for
the close observation of the most power
ful and warlike tribe of Indiana on the
continent but the garrisons are entirely
too small for immediate ullunaivo opera
tions in caao of an outbreak , and wise
policy would therefore sooni to indicate
that these two poats should bo enlarged ,
especially as Fort Niobrara is now in
cloao proximity to a railway , nnd Fort
Robinson is destined to bo on ono in trio
near future. At present , Niobrara could
bo reinforced from Omaha by rail , but
Robinson ie 120 miles north from Sidney ,
from which point n slow moving foot
force would have to go to ita asttiatnnco ,
whilst the same kind of force from Lira-
mlols73 miles away , and those movements
would bo all the slower from the contract
system of tranoportation now adopted i
tno army.
The last posts 1 visited were Forts Me
Kinney and Washakio , the former admi
rably located nt the foot of the Big Horn
mountains , hns a route of supply nearly
JtOO miles north from Choyennu. Th
part of the road north from Fetturman )
ever the very worst portion of an extremely
tromoly desolate country where for mos
of the way feed for animala is entire ! ,
wanting without going for miles oil' thread
road , The distance from Oheyunno U
Pilclunnoy is considerably shortened by
the Rock Greek route , a part of which ,
however , la very rough nnd through a dif
licult canon almost nnpassiible by roasoi
of deep snow for freight trains during
greater part ot the winter nnd spring.
From McKinney north to Ouster
Station , on the Northon.
Pacific railroad , runs a road , I am told
and believe , far button , winter and sum.
rnor , in all respects thai ) the ono south ,
through a much bolter country , nnd only
about ono-lmlf the distance. Thia lust is
the natural line of supply for Fort Me-
lunuoy , and 1 urgently recommend its
idoptiun.
The telegraph line via Fort Lirnmlo , ia
ilso unnecessarily long nnd diflicult to
coep up , nnd a linn from Fort McKinney
0 Fort Cuater should ba built , The
tisUnco is'nbout 11)0 ) miles and through a
lountry troll nettled , where keeping the
ino up would bo n comparatively easy
uahor.
Fort Robinson ia now , since the nban
ionment of the line from that post to
lat Greek , thu only poet in the do
iiutmont without telegraphic communi
ition , and it is urgently rucom-
nondud that n direct linifbutweon Forts
lobinson and Larnmio bo built us hereto-
oru recommended
Whilst nt FortMoKinnoy , I visited the
ito of old Fort Phil Koarnoy. The situ
1 now occupied by productive grasa and
rain fields and th whole region ia rap-
ily Bottling up. Thu corotory where
io the romniiu of the officers andsoldiera
/ho fell in the Fotterman massacre , and
number of ether ollicers and soldiers
Hied by Indiana during the occupancy
f that peat , is entirely open , the wooden
oncp originally around it having boon
iiutially burned and afterwards , as I was
iiformed , carried away nnd used
or fuel by passing travelers ,
'ho brick monument erected to the
icmory of Fottorman nud hu men is
I'stroyod. ' even down to the very foua-
atlon , 1 recommend that a plain , sub-
tintial ttono wall , without gateway , ho
rcaiod around this cemetery , with n
implo tablet stating ns near r.e potiaiblo
i'lio aru buried within. The oust will
ot. bo moro thnti u fu * hundred dollars.
From MuKinney , 1 p md dirootly
crete the country lo Fort NVashokio , on
road which I directed uxploiud
this spring. The distance is 187
milps , and with the exception of
n very stoop and difficult hill on the cast
end where the road crosses the southern
spur of the Big Horn mountains , the
road is n fair ono for wheeled vehicles ,
The country is rough and in many places
desolnto atul unproductive , but it Is n
good graga region and In rapidly filling
up with domestic cattle and ranches.
Wild game is very scarce and mndo morose
so by the frequent hunting parties of the
almost starving Indians from the neigh
boring tribes.
At Fort Wnnhftklo I hnd nn interview
with the principal chiefs of the Shoshone
nnd Arrnpalme Indians , Wnshnkio , the
chief of the Shoshoncs , was , much to my
regret , absent , nnd the other chicfa of
his tribe , declined , in his nbaonco , to
say anything except to extend to mo a
moat cordial welcome , but the chiefs of
the Arapahocs complained bitterly of the
lack of provisions , nnd this wns confirmed
by their agent , who was invited and pres-
put at the meeting , Ho states that the
issues now consist of two pounds of bcof
nnd two pounds of flour n week to each
Indian , with no prospect of nn incrcaao ,
1 waa informed that the ludinna frequent
ly cat at once , when issued , the wholi
week's rations ( not n very difficult matte :
for n healthy adult ) , nnd the pout commander
mandor informed mo thnt last spring (
number of dnaths from starvation oc
currcd in the tribo. The agent also in
formed mo that throe years &go
when game , including buffalo , wai
plentiful , the iesuo of beef wn
much greater than it is now , ,
and for three years it had been steadily
decreasing , although the buffalo had en
tirely disappeared from nho vicinity , ant
ether game wna becoming alarmingly
scarce. If some steps nro not taken before
fore spring to relieve the necessities o :
these starving Indians they will b (
forced by the first law of nature to kil
domestic cattle , and nil know to wha.1
that lends. The attention of these in
authority is urgently invited to this itn
portant subject.
Target practice in the department has
during the past year , excited an In
creased interest , and the department
team this year ia n decided improve
ment on that of the last. In
this matter 1 respectfully recommend
that in place of ruling out any of the
marksmen winning prizes in previous
years , that these for all subsequent con-
teats bo handicapped by adding a certain
number of points to the highest proccd
ing record , or by requiring them to shoo
at longer distances , and in case any pro
vioua prizeman does not score the handi
capped standard , that the prize bo
awarded the next highest scorer.
I earnestly recommend that the circu
lar targets bo abolished and
replaced by elliptical ones
with the longer axis up
right , so as to increase the value of line
shots the most valuable ones in war.
Under the present system many shota
which would miss a man in action , now
count just as much as ono which would
kill him.
The cemeteries nt Forts McKin
and Wnshnkio are not enclosed , and I ro
apectfully request that the necessary
funds may be furnished for the purpose.
Attention is respectfully invited t <
the large number of commissioned offi
cers absent from duty with their compa
nies in this department. There are G3
companies serving in the department and
53 officers absent from duty with thorn
frotn various causes. I urgently re
quest , t that if practicable , some
of these fifty three absent officers bo re
turned to duty with their companies.
The annual reports of the various staff
officers of the department , showing the
operations of their several departments
for the years are herewith enclosed. Tha
of the inspector of rifle practice is do
luyed awaiting regimental reports , and
will bo forwarded when completed.
