trUOLESALE LYNCIinU Of THIEVES AND

Special Telegram to The BEE ,
GAINESVILLE , Tex. , Juno 29. That portion
of tbo southern section of the Indian Terri
tory known as the Delaware Bond , has sud
denly loapad into notoriety ai a scone of a
wholesale lynching on a crand scale , It be
came the rendezvous for the worst gang of
outlaws that over existed. Their , depredations
on live stock and other property of tha people
of northwest Texas so exasperated the people
that they have taken the law and a plentiful
supply of rope Into their hands , and declared
a war of extermination on the outlaws. To
day five moro lynching * are reported , in addi
tion to the recent report that fifteen men have
been hanged n two weeks. Efforts to sub
stantiate the last-mentioned report resulted
in positive proof of the hanging a week
ago , near Uoaldtown , of Frank Moran , Bill
Williams andaboy named Moore. , 13. Williams ,
a farmer living near Mud Crook , was sus
pected and persons detailed to watch him ,
When it was learned that Williams had un
lawfully taken possession of another man's
horse , thirty-two determined men visited his
house and arrested him. AVilliams bade his
family an affectionate faiowell nnd told them
if he did not return In two days they might
know bo was dead. Williams was then led
several miles away Into some thick timber ,
where they wore met by another party having
in charge Frank Morgan and a boy named
Mooro. Morgan was a hard character and
was wautod In the state on several different
charges , Moore is about eighteen years of
age. and Is implicated with others In many
cases of theft. By unanimous vole the men
decided to hang Williams and Morgan. Some
contended that by reason of the boy's youth
it was best to turn him loose with mo-lorate
punishment , but itvaa finally decided , us
there were great probabilities of his becoming
a troublesome criminal , it was bet
tor ho should die. Accordingly aU
three were strung upon one limb.
Some of the possa climbed upon the limb and
pressed down with their feet upon the shoul
ders of the criminals in order that they might
die quicker. After death the bodies wore all
cut down and buried together. The posse
them started to hunt towards the river and re
ports came back that they captured and
lynched nine more , thus making a total of
twelve , This latter report , however , lacks
confirmation and the modes of communication
are so uncertain that the facts are hard to get.
Things had just quieted down a little here
when a report came in that five men were
strung up about a hundred miles north of this
place ono day last week. A man on his way
to Kansas through the territory was compelled
to retrace his steps on account of the impassa
ble streams and from him it is learned that ho
just escaped by a minute from seeing the hang
ing of four bad characters and passed another
point in about an hour where two moro were
strung np. He did not pause long enough to
learn the particulars , but said the feeling
.against these characters is Intensely bitter.
Tha noted Detective Jack Duncan , at tbo
head of a squad of well armed mon has gene
to the Indian Territory in search of the out
laws Jim and Honkla. Ho carries throe well
trained blood-hounds with him which ho
will HJnso when the trail is struck.
"It is learned thai other squads are also in tbo
field on the same errand. ' Ever since the
onurdor of the Roff boys there has been a re
ward of $5,000 offered for the men , but this
Is the first effort made to effect their capture.
The Luce boys have long been a terror to
Delaware Bend people , For the past few
imontbs they have been loafing around that
section , stealing indiscriminately. They have
repeatedly announced that they would never
surrender , and interesting news may bo ex
pected from that quarter ,
JACKSON , Miss , Juno 2i ) . Bon Holt ,
colored , was lynched this evening by a colored
tnob for the murder of his wife on Wednesday.

CHATTING WITH THE INMATES.
Special Telegram to The BEE.
NEW YORK , Juno 29. The World prints a
long and interesting interview with Captain
William McConner , formerly McCullough'i
manager , as to the latter's removal to Bloom-
ingdale asylum. After detailing the particulars
of the admljaiou the following conversation
occurred : /
"What do you think of his chance for re
covery ! " /
"Dr. McBrlde did not give much hope. The
steps should have been taken a year ago , " he
) , ,0 'lVhat did Dr. McBride say was the
cause ! "
"Be said It was gradual paralysis. "
"What property has McOulloughl"
"Bis property consists of cash and stocki
In the Boatman's savings bank of St. Louis , '
was the reply. "I should think lie had In the
neighborhood of 815,000 , all told ; bat I will
know accurately in the course cf a few days ,
lie Is as well protected OB a man possibly can
ba. Tbe officers of the bank are persona
friends and very fond of him. I have many
letters in my safe from Thompson , cannier or
the bank , which I have kept since last fall
when McOulIough had to abandon his piofes
slon. "
"II s he been an extravagant man ? '
"I presume hs spent $10.000 or 812,000
slues he stopped acting latt March a year ago
lie has n Una wardrobe hers with a safe de
posit company , where he had It placed upon
bis return from tha west. "
"What have been his average earnings a
"Ho made as high as $18,003 in one year
Ho wan always a very liberal man goneroui
to a fiult"
"What became of all his earning ! ? "
"When he and I first became ajtoclated to
gether he wai very much involved througl :
California ventures , and I think in paying hii
delta a great deal of his eiruiog < was ab
Eorbed , Then ho mads several expensiv
trips abroad , and was besides always a gener
uus liver , and liked to rntertain friends , "
"Was ho a disslpatod mm ! ' '
"Never In the world , He has been mltrep
resented in that respect , I know I was as
close to him as any man In the world , and
m ny A time he was at homo in bed as teen as
possible after leaving the theatre. "
"Ho has a wife ! "
"Yoi , a wife and two sons in Philadelphia.
One is about thirty nd the other about
twenty-four , Ha has a sister , a very admira
ble Udy , Mrs. Wiert , living In Scrauton , "
C pt. Connor said in conclusion that he
had not given this information to reporters
Saturday night because ha wanted to consult
fnends before making public these facts.
Touching the rumors current for some time
past that McOnllough'a condition was due to
excessive indulgence of certain sorts , Capt.
Connor said those reports were infamously
falsa and contradicted by every fact in the
knowledge of his friends.
The Herald yi : Dr. Nicholi , of Bloom-
Ingdale asylum was asked , "Did McCullough
realize what WM hit situation when told ! "
"Qulta Imperfectly ; he WAS very eel and
seems to bo eatlMied with his surroundings ,
which will bo ai comfortable as possible. "
Upon leaving the asylum a reporter me
McCiillough on tha grounds , The inmates
and visitors were scattered along the walks ,
some reading , some chatting , a few being
overboard to express the utmost -sympathy
with their newly-arrived companion , "This
Is tbo funniest place I over struck , " said Me
Cullougb , answering the reporter , striking his
bamboo against his lee ; "I haven't had a
cigar since 1 left New York. "
"I thought you told mo yon didn't '
smoke ! "
A man of the group handed McCullough n
cigar. "Why , Ic uld smoke a man out of
his house , " was a clear , characteristic reply.
Tbo reporter struck a match [ for McCullough ,
and the actor , lighting bis cigar , assumed a
complacent air , and remarked that ho never
felt better in hii lifo.
"Aro you a friend of McCallough'i , " naked
a powerful looking man who proved to bo the
keeper , slapping reporter upon shoulder. "I
am sorry to say that It is against the rules ) to
lot any ono converse with tbe inmates , "
McCullough strode away with half dozen
now acquilntancas seemingly as merry as a
groqmoman at a wedding , but there was sad
reality In it all , .
MEXICAN FINANCES.
lUNKitorror. AVERTED ur THE LAW RECENTLY
mOMDLOATED.
Specisl Telegram to ThoBEE.
NEW YOBK , Juna 29. The Herald's City of
Mexico special says : The Herald correspon
dent interviewed a high government official
on the proposed bond issue of twoutyfivo
millions to fund the outstanding government
obligation. "Much mlsconseption exists nbsut
the recent funding decree. In issuing the
law the administration was in the exorcise of
its full powers , granted by cangrois under the
laws of Juno 14,1833 , and December 11,1SS1.
All talk of illegality is absurd , "
"Why are such radical measures adopted ! "
"Tho government w. forced by dire neces
sity. The finances of the country are in a de
plorable condition for causes ascribed to the
past 'adminirtration. The government em
ployes are unpaid ; the army Is in arrears , a
deficit ot over twenty five millions faces the
administration. If this were carried ovqr
into the next fiscal year bankruptcy is inevi
table. It is the administration's desire to
commence the new fiscal ye.ir on n stronger
basis. Therefore the president , with unani
mous concurrence of the cabinet , issued this
decree by which twenty-five millions of obli
gations are funded in bonds running twenty-
five years at six per cent annual interest. "
"Doos this law cover nil obligatlonsrailway
certificates Included ? " "Yes , all outstanding
obligations against the government are in
cluded no exceptions were made. By virtue
the decree every obligation must be converted
into these bonds within four months. The
statements that the government issued a
decree through hostility to banking or rail
way interest , as baa been reported , are false.
I desire to bo particularly emphatic on one
point that this funding was an absolute ne
cessity prompted by the exigencies of the
times. "
' 'There are rumors that the government
will modify the law ; Is that true ! "
"No ; the step was well considered and the
government will stand by its original promul
gation. "

rebel horde In Afghanistan had stolen from
the ameer treasures valued at ono million
pounds sterling , possibly done at the Instiga
tion of Russia. Tills led to a sharp turn in
the market , nnd there was a frantio rush on
the part of shorts to cover , which carried
prices up Ijc within n very short tlmo amid
sharp excitement , The scene was about the
wildest which has boon witnessed in
a great many weeks , Later reports were
somewhat moro reassuring , which caused

in the regular board about the same as on
Saturday. In the afternoon there were more
diecourntrlng crop reports , and In expectation
of a decrease In the visible supply the feeling

BELLIGERENT BANNOCKS ,

Killed by the Indian Police ,
An Interesting Itoport by Iilout. "Wal
ker on the Roccnt Indian
Troubles Tlio Situation
Ilovlowcd.
Mention has already been made in
thcao columns of the trouble between the
Bannock nnd the Shoahono Indians In
the western part of the department of
the Platte , In which a number of Indiana
were killed. Immediately upon receiv
ing Information of the affair , tbo secretary
tary of war ordered a special officer to bo
detailed to examine into the affair. The
officer nnslgnod to this duty was Lieut.
Walker , of Fort Douglas. Hla report ,
received yesterday at the headquarters ,
is reprinted In full , as being of great in
terest , and moro especially as clearly out
lining the Indian troubles in that portion
of the department In which. Fort Douglas
is situated.
Liont.-Gon. B. Walker , in his report ,
soys : "I left Fort Douglas on the 23d
inst , , and proceeded by rail to Rosa Fork
Indian agency , Idaho , arriving there at
8:40 : p , m. 1 remained there about two
hours , occupied in Inquiries , observing
the temper of the Indians , and visiting
with the agent various small camps and
farms of Indians , as far as ton miles
from the agency. I then went on to
Blackfoot , twelve miles north of ROBS
Fork , having formerly made Inquiries at
Pocatello , thirteen miles south , while en
route , and returned to Fott Douglas at
0:30 : p. m. on the 25th Inst.
"Tha circumstances of the recent dis
turbance among the Indiana * * * *
are as follows :
About the 18th Inst. the agent received
a latter from Fort Brlager saying that
some Bannock Indians had passed them
with nbont nine stolen horacsj belonging
to the Shoshonoa at Waobakie , Throe or
four Bannocks about this time camolnand
among them suspicion necmod especially
to point to two , "Chinaman" and
"Nonoga. " It appears that the fears of
Chinaman had been aroused by lying
wblte men and Indians tolling him that
If the agent had him arrested ho would
bo hung , although It Is no uncommon
thing for the agent to arrest Indians for
various misdemeanors ; so Chinaman and
Nonoga came to the tent of Indian
Policeman "Lincoln" and "Seedhayn"
last Friday night and warned them if
they tried to arrest them on Saturday
they would kill them. Lincoln replied ,
"If I go sfter you I will bring you. "
n Saturday morning these two police-
ion reported at the office that they had
eon threatened during the night , and
he agent told them to bring the two
Indians In that ho might talk to thorn.
At about 2 p. m. the whole police , four
annocks and four Shoshones , Lincoln
nd Soodhayn in advance , wont about
, half mile from the agency to make the
, rroats. They found Chinaman and
onega waiting for them , and Lincoln
Id Ohlnamaa to glvo up his gun
ihlnaman thereupon shot Lincoln with
cartridge prepared with a slag of hard
oed , believing him to bo bullet proof ,
nd killed him Instantly. The two also
lot Policeman Soedhayn through the
high and killed the liorso of the captain
' police. Seeddhayn will recover ,
"The police had only pistols and the
wo alleged horse thieves had rifles. The
atter then retired about a mile towards
ho post-hills.
"Tho police and about one hundred
, ud seventy-five Indiana headed them oil
t the same time , picking up what guna
hey had In camp and getting nome from
ho trader. There waa only ouo rifle at
ho agency.
"Tho Shoshones took no active part ,
ut Tyluo , head chief of the Bannooka
urged his mon not to lot thorn get into
ho hills , that although they belonged to
.heir own tribe they were bad -men , and
would .return and kill some one In the
night.
"Tho whole party then surrounded
ho two in a washout. Mr. Butcher , the
Roncy clerk , then joined them with
ibout fifteen Indians. About one hundred
ihots were fired after his arrival , when
. ioth Chinaman and Nanoga were killed.
Two Indians hsd shots pass through
, helr clothing but none wore wounded ,
The Indians were then much excited , but
iter they burled the three on Sunday
.hoy wore much moro qntut. In the ox-
itement following tbo aflalr , owing to
hroats against hid life , the agent went to
'ocatollo for about forty-eight hours , but
_ eturnod to the agency just baforo my
arrival. Ho seems to take great Interest
n the Indians , and to show considerable
'orco and tact In their government.
"It appears from tbe above account
.hat . the trouble was by no means be
tween the Bannocks and Shonhones , as
no Shoahones ] wWe actively engaged ex *
copt the four Shoshoiio policemen.
"It will , I think , aha bo regarded that
the Bannocks are deserving of no censure
but rather of praise , for the whole affair
seems thus far to amount to nothing
more than a regular possa arresting a
couple of malefactora.
"The agent btates there has not been a
war dance this spring , although they
used to be frequent , and except a few
young bucks , the Bannocka all seem
very well'disposed toward the whites ,
"The Bannocks number 400 men ,
women and children by actual count.
They do not take kindly to learning , but
tbe Shoihonea are taking It np rapidly ,
are quiet , and good friends of tbe whites
Mr. S. 0. Fisher , formerly acont wltl
General Howard , In the Ntt Perce'i
campaign , ft man of high repute with th <
gent and neighboring ueUleu , think
that the Indians took the arvesl In their
own hands in a good came , but that If a
Shoahono policeman had boon killed In
stead of n Bannock , that the remit
might have boon a pitched bnttlo between
the two tribes ordinarily thr/ police are
called upon io do duty In their own
tribo. Ho regards the Shoshoncs as re
markably well disposed Indiana and In
clined to farming and general Improve
ment , They have made much progress
In farming. But about twenty young
bucks among the Bannocka nro a dis
turbing element. The roat of the Ban-
nooks nro well disposed.
"Ha does not think any further trouble
will result from the present affair. Both
the agent and' Mr , Fischer think it pos
sible that some of these young mon may
go off without permission and steal
liorooa. They hare very few
arms , but can buy them without
trouble In the neighbor. They do not
appear to steal hones from whlto mon ,
btttoccasslonally Boll atolcn horaoa to
them. This may , If continued , cause
some trouble ,
"It therefore appears thgt the present
general temper of the Indiana toward
the whttoa Is qnlto good. "
'ACCIDENTALLY ,
Girtlo Will to , Shot in the lUght Thigh
\vltUttUlIlolJnll ,
A very serious accident occurred aboub
7 o'clock lost evening at the residence of
Isaac TrotsB , a colored man , living on
Harney street between Fifteenth and
Sixteenth streets. A colored woman by
the name of Gertie Whlto , was visiting
Trolss , and the old man took down his
gun to make some repairs on It and the
gun was loaded , While ho was fooling
with the lock Mies White , happened to
bo standing np In front of the muzzle ,
and by accident Trolss lot the weapon go
off. The ball struck Miss Whlto In the
right thigh , penetrating her flesh to a
depth of five Inches , and creating a pain
ful wound. Dr. W. 0 , Spauldlng was
called to attend the sufferer , and ho
probed for the bullet but failed to re
move It.
A SMOTHERED SENSATION.
Rumor a to the ElTcct of a Little
Shooting Bcrapo In "Which a

The BEE'S night rustler was given two
or three mysterious pointers yesterday of
a very sensational ahootlng Bcrapojhot
occurred In this city Sunday night , but
with all hla efforts to ascertain
who the Implicated parties were ,
It was found Impossible. So com
pletely had the affair been smothered ,
that thoao who ought to , aud doubtless
do know about it , feigned great anrprisa
and Ignorance when approached ana in
terrogated for particulars. The reporter
however , managed to catch this much ,
that a prominent stock man came to
Omaha from some Interior point
In the state , bringing with him
a nice young lady , and they
put up at ono of the down town hotels.
Her brother followed them , wont to the
hotel whore they were , and , seeing the
stockman , drew a revolver , and shot at
him. Tha ball , it la said , hit tho'stock-
man in his arm , and created a aovere
flesh wound. Then the brother took his
slater and went away with her , and the
stockman disappeared.

cable says ; Thn most signlQcant tpoech
made by any member of the
Irish party since the return of the torles
to power ws made by Michael DAvitt Sunday
afternoon at a great mass meeting held in
Hyde Park to protest ogainit the proposed
amendment to the reform bill which would
disfranchise every man who had obtained
medical relief at public cost within n year
any election , Davitt had little to say on that
subject , but clearly outlined the attltudo ol
the Irish national party toward the now cov-
crnmcnt. There have been many indications-
of late that the nationalists fool encouraged by
the downfall of the Gladstone min
istry , the supplanting of Earl
Spencer , nnd the defeat of coercion , to-
extend their demands and t- > put their ptico
higher than over for any support rendered to-
the government , lioloro the whips and radi
cals wont out of power the Irish members
wore willing enough to Jiavo radical help in
defeating coercion. Now they are givlng-
notlco to the radicals that their help Is not
wanted , and they could not use the Irish
grievances as a standing horse behind which
to creep back to power. This was very bluntly
expressed by the United Ireland , I'arnoll'a
own organ , which plainly told Glmmborlain
and Dilko , Ireland's champions In the late
cabinet , that they would do well to keep out
of Ireland and that the Irish party looked
only to the torrlea for an effective homo rule
scheme. Davitt in his speech to-day
adopted a similar tone of defiant con
fidence , lie denied that the nationalists
would prevent Oamberlain and Dilko from
visiting Ireland and addressing such Irish
men as might choose to listen , but he warned
the English party , of radicals and torlca alike ,
that the nationalists will not tolerate any
half-way measures of relief.Vo demand , "
ho said , "nothing less than the tight to man
age our own affairs , as Australia and Canada
manage theirs. As long as that right is de
nied to us , or its exercise abridged , Ireland
will remain an obstruction in British legisla
tion , and a menace to the stability of English
power. '
These defiant utterances by the greatest
nationalist leader outside of the parliament
ary party , were vehemently cheered by the
immense crowd , which was composed almost-
wholly of Englishmen.
Precautions for the safety of Earl Spencer ,
similar to those odnptud on his leaving Dub
