Br.Ain , Neb. , August 2. ( 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.

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.

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.

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.
