( Special Tele gram toTiiK Bp.n. | This morning , while the county Judge nnd nnumbcrof nllornoys wcro engaged In thu trial of a case , the engineer of lite Acme mills of this city , G. W. Fack- ler , cnmo into thu court room and offered to glvu himself up , Baying he had killed a man. An Investigation of the mutter resulted in finding that at about 2 o'clock this morning , while the engineer was sleeping In the mill , ho wus awakened by hearing a person tryIng - Ing lo got into the mill. Ho Immediately arose und armed himself with two revolvers. The men , as they afterwards proved to be , then went to another part of the building and removed the lower sash of n window. By the time Iho engineer got to that part of the building ono of the men was In thu mill nnd Just In the act of picking up a sack of flour , when thu engineer opened lire with the smaller revolver. He fired three times. Upon the flash of the first shot ho saw two men step away from the outside of the window. His thrco shots not scaring the thief awny , and noticing him stooping over , evidently trying to llnet sonic weapon , the engineer opened upon him with thu largo revolver. Tlio first shot rolled the lliief over and brought n yell from him. After he had tired six shots one of the parties on the outside jumped Ihrougli the window and picked up the wounded thief nud carried him out doors. The engineer remained In thu mill until morning , probably too much frightened tc glvo nn alarm or further Investigate the mat ter. The other mill hands on going to the mill this morning found largo pools of blood on the floor and meal sacks , and succeeded in tracing the parties to u lumber yard neni by. where blood was found in large quan tities. A report was circulated that a man line died near onu of the freight depots early thin morning , but an investigation did not develop - volop anything tangible to thu rumor. Nc trace , so far , has been discovered of the parties. Somu two weeks ago thrco men broke int ( thu mill onu night and beat thu engineer in n brutal manner and then helped themselves to.nll the ( lour they could carry away. The engineer thinks llieso were the same partiu' and that they hvo In Ibis vicinity. It is vor.i evident from the amount of blood found nl . the different places that the man was fatallj shot , and a day or BO will undoubtedly dls close inoro of the particulars.

I The annual report of the Missouri river commission for the liscal year ended Juno 80 , IbSS , has been received tit the war depart ment. It Is dated at St. Louis July 11 , nud Is very voluminous. The report states that the survey of tno Missouri river Is still Incom plete , nnd that the trlangulntlon Is yet to bo carried from Leavcuwortli to Traverse Point , Montana , IMO miles , and permanent bench marks over the tmtno distance , and and also from Ucrlin , Missouri , to the mouth of the river , n total distance of lOTi2 miles. Topography graphy and hydrography arc required from Fort Pierre to Fort Henton , 1,100 miles. This work , It is stated , Is of great national Importance , nnd It Is much to bo regretted that adequate means have not been fur nished for campleting it. The work of con struction during the past year has been carried on In the vicinity of Kansas City and St. Joseph. The commission states that Its funds arc about exhausted , being only sufficient to provide for watching the public property for a few weeks longer. Under these circumstances the commission cannot make any exhibits for the work contem plated for the present scacon , as this Im provement necessarily depends upon the pro. visions of the river and harbor bill now before - fore the president. The commission ask for il,000OCO for continuing the general Improve- mcntof the river now in progress from Kan sas City down stream , ana for conducting the survey , making examinations nnd ob servations required in the thorough study of the problem , anil for salaries , travel and other expenses , $ I5'J,000. It also rrwews its previous recommendation that $15,000 be ap propriated for a survey of the Missouri river above the Missouri river falls at Fort Hen- ton , to bo made available for a general sur vey of the rivor. For making improvements from the mouth of tha Missouii to Sioux City 51,000,000 is asked. OEXEllAI.iriKS , 1IUT NO Sl'ECU'ICATIONH. The report observes that the boat trade on the Missouri is at present very small ; that it is conllned practically to the distance be tween Fort Yates and Fort Uenton , for the upper-river and from St. Louis to Glasgow for the lower. The comparative ease witli which the Missouii may bo made profitable for navigation and the necessity for the Im provement Is pointed out at great length. Nc special recommendations arc made ant nothing sncllcially is pointed out for the en couragement of tlioso who are Interested in the improvement of the Muddy about Omaha In general terms it is stated that the nnviga bio qualities of the Missouri may bo mnturi ally enhanced by the expenditure of $30X' ( ( a mile , in deepening the channel and clear ing the stream of rubbish , but It is no stated in postlvc terms how this iinprovcmeiv is to bo conducted and whcro it is t < begin. Nearly all of the rcpor Is confined to observations abou the lower portion of the river. It is hnrdli necessary to state that the failure of tin president last year to sign the general rivei and harbor bill is whcro the responsibility rests for the stagnation which now rules tin improvements on the Missouii river. Will .no appropriation last year und only the sur plus from the previous season to draw from it is no wonder the work is at a standstill. SELucTixei A sin : rou Four O.M.UU.

V Decision In the CMO of the North * cm I'nclllUTB. Miller. VAIHINOTOV , August 2. The secretary of ho Interior to-day rendered n decision lu the celebrated case of the Northern Pacific against Gullford Miller. The secretary holds irlcfly that when the map of the main line was Hied and accepted In 1870 , n general rule vas fixed , nnd statutes withdrawn under section six of the granting act becnmo opera- Ive. The secretary holds that In attempting to innko n withdrawal of those lands for In demnity purposes the commissioner of the fcneral land office did that which was pro- united. The railroad company selected Miller's land as indemnity for lands loft within the Vakima Indian reservation. The secretary says that inasmuch as the su- iiroino court said In the Huttz case that the fee simple title to lands within the Indian reservations passed by grant to the company , subject to rl lit of occupancy by Indians , the company Is not entitled to Indemnity lands within said reservation , which has lusscd to it by its grant. The effect of this decision is far-reaching , and will affect about eight hundred cnscs now pending In the gen eral land office , and probably tlio claims of many settlers which have not reached there. The denial of the right of the company to in demnity for hums within the Yuklnm Indian reservation is said to be equaJly applicable to other Indian reservations along the line of the road , and will have the effect of reduc ing the Indemnity claims of the company very largely , probably to the extent of 1,51)0,000 ) acres. About two thousand cases now in the general land oWce will be affected by the decision. IIEAIlTIbY FOll HAUKISON. IStnlno Will Do Ills CnmpnlKn Fight- Int ; as a Subordinate. NKW YOIIK , August'2.
