BROOKLY! Jan. 21.—Violence and blood- shed constitutes the record of the eighth day of the electric street car operati: strike. Three militiamen are in hospitals with broken heads, two having suffered at the hands of riotous men or women, while the third was the victim of his own carelessness, having fallen out of a second story window. A score or more policement are suffering from bullet wounds or contusions of the head and body, disabling them for the time being. To what extent the strikers have suffered cannnot be conjectured. If they escaped punishment it was not the fault of the militiamen, who, in accordance with orders, fired as directly at their allants as a dense fog which com- pletely obscured objects at thirty yards' dis- tance, would permit, The strike is not ended and order is not restored. Seven thousand national guardsmen and 1,600 or 1,600 police- men have not today been strong enough to make the resumption of the street rallway traflic in Brooklyn possible, 1In fact, the gain over Saturd is hardly perceptible. The calling out of the First brigade, com- posed of New York ity regiments, Las seemed rather to add to the tension than to bring a solution of the Iifficniti The task of restoring peace and order alung nearly 200 miles of street car lines is a vast one. The new levy numbered not far from 4,000 men. They were moved across the great bridge early in the day. 7he varlous companies went by elevated trains wherever it was possible to the points where they had been ordered. Generally speaking, the greetings they met with on the sireets were far from friendly. A Scotch mist settled down on all the city, increasing in d ity s the evening approached, and added to the difficulties. ROSTER OF THE INJURED.

THEIR AIM WAS UNCERTAN, A car started from the Ridgewood station of the Brooklyn Heights company & little after 5 o'clock and was assailed with volleys of stones and bricks before it proceelsd far, A private soldier was struck in the head with a stone and disabled. The officer in command ordgred his men to shoot, and two volleys were flred towards the windows and housetops, from which missiles had mostly been huried. The soldiers' aim, however, was rendered uncertain by the dense fog. Policemen also did some shooting at this point, with what effect fs as uncertain as in the case of the militia men, It I8 assorted by the nilitla offi- cors that they only ordered the volley when tho violence of the mob made It necessary On the same line a car started out an hour after, and was beset by rioters at Gates and - Stuyvedsant avenue. The police escorting it essayed to drive off the rioters, and while dolng 5o were fired upon from a house. Five policemen were wounded, one in the arm, another in tho hand, and three others re- celved painful injurics by being struck with Stones. The Halsey street line also was the scene of several lively encounters. In one of them Private Ennis of the Seventh regiment, was knocked senseless with a stone. Several shots were fired Into the crowd and rumor hus it that four men were seen to full, If that is the case the wounded were carried away by their (riends, AU he Hulsey street depot a car was pelted with stones “and sticks, the windows were broken and the wood work smashed. TWo police guards fired their pistols into the orowd, which dispersed. Whether or not any one struck is not known. Under such conditions 1t was deemed adyisable to abandon for the night attempts to run cars on any of the tied-up lines and by 4:30 o'clock all the cars were housed. o Men to take the place of the strikers are belng engaged In other cities and from the " unemployed of Brooklyn. The ranks of the strikers will probably be recruited tomorrow by the 000 linemen who, until now, have re- mained In the employ of the company. They have let it be understood that tomorrow they Wil not go out to repair cut lines even at the risk of dismissal. They will not strike, they say; they merely refuse to perform the work. required of them and put upon the companies the onus of discharging them. In the board of alderwen this afternoon & resolution was introduced by Mr. Cohen wWhich proposes to oblige corporations operat- Ing street rallvays by electricity to employ as motormen only such persons s shall have passed a satisfactory examination as to their qualifications. WILL TAKE ACTIVE MEASURES. The board voted without distent the ap- proval of a wmemorlal signed by about Bixty property owners, which calls for measurcs which shall compel the street rall- WAy companies to operate the usual number hurt in collision at at Gates policeman, face cut of cars upon their lines or else request the attorney general to bring proceedings for the annulment of their charter, The depot on the Third avenue railroad at Third avenue and Fifty-sixth street was gar- risoned today by companies F, G and K of the Twenty-third regiment. Captain_Thorne of company F was in command. The detach- ment numbered 260 men. Companies H and 1 were quartered In the power house at Sec- ond avenue and Fifty-second street. The strikers, to the number of a couple of hun- dred, held a continuous meeting at their head- quarters. A committee of citizens, appointed last night, waited on all the storckeepers in the vicinity to ask for donations for the strikers, At 6 o'clock this evening $350 in cash had been subscribed, be- sides barrels of potatoes, sacks of flour, tea, coffee, bread, tomatoes, meat and all kinds of groceries. The Pequod club resembled a large grocery store, and the citizens' committeo was kept busily engaged distributing the sup- plies to the men and their families. The men claim they are in a position to hald out for six months. Before daybreak this morn- Ing the overhead wire on the down town track was cut. Three repair wagons came on the scene at 3 o'clock in the afternoon and after an hour's work the wire was put In working order. It was announced at 4 o'clock that no effort to make a trip would be made tonight. Ricting had been expected at the stables of the Atlantic rcad at Fourth avenue and Forty-sixth street, but quict pre- ailed during the day. The scene presented a more animated appearance than that at the Third avenue depot, a large crowd being present durtng the day, but no disturbance took p The company ran twenty-eight cars, the service being fair. In addition to 230 militlamen there was on duty a strong force of police under Captains Clayton and Kenny. A dense fog set in during the after- noon, and at 6 o'clock it was announced no cars would run after 8 o'clock until tomorrow. FIRST MILITIAMAN HURT. Elmer P. Van Dyke, a member of the Six- teenth regiment, fell from the second story of the Thirteenth regiment armory at Flat- bush avenue to the roof of the Long Island rallroad depot this evening and sustained a compound fracture of the skull, Eastern New York was quiet all day. It had put on a military appearance by the addition of a Dbattery of artillery to the Infantry forces stationed at the Alabama avenue depot of the Fulton avenue railway and old inhabitants were put in mind of the time when a recruiting camp was stationed there about thirty years ago. The only evidence of disorder noticed this morning was the cutting of the trolley wires on both Fulton street and Broadway. These were repaired before 10 o'clock and fifteen minutes later the first cars were sent down toward Fulton ferry. They found no obstruction in the way, and though they occupled more than the schedule time, they made regular trips il 4:30. New men were received at intervals during the day, which enabled the company in the afternoon to put thirty cars on the line This required the withdrawal from the avenue and streets near the depot of the policemen stationed there in order to place two men on each car. Captain Gorman called for reinforcements, which he received from the Fifth and Nineteenth precincts. The maneuvers necessary to protect the depot were quickly executed. When completed the position was quite warlike, four cannon with quiet significance were planted so as to rake every approach to the depot. The crowd was kept back two blocks by the mounted police and there was little to disturb the regularity of their duties until night approached, when a large fire was kindled in the square and precautions were doubled to prevent any surprise or any stone throwing from the nelghboring houses or from the structure of the elevated road which crosses the place diagonally. The officials of the Brooklyn, Queen's County and Su- burban railroad informed Captain Gorman that as soon as the men they had engaged arrived they would open up the route. One car was then brought out and sent up Fulton avenue and returned about 3:30 loaded with men, some few of whom were expert motormen. They were soon ready for work and at 4 o'clock the first car for a full week or more was startcd down Broadway, It was unmolested, but at every switch much difi- culty was experienced in progressing, as the switches were all frozen. Large crowds as- sembled at these places, notably at Reid and Summer avenues, but beyond feering and some little verbal abuse the new men were not interferred with. Six cars in all were sent out. All of them returned safely at 6:10 and not a stone or other missila was thrown at them on the route. No cars were sent out after 4:30 o'clock on this line and all the new men are held in the depot to prevent the strikers coaxing them away. LINE MEN WILL STRIKE. One of the members of the strikers' board said: “The line men have determined to refuse to make the necessary repairs to wires, ete,, when called upon to do so by the com- pan‘es.” This action by the linemen is equivalent to their striking, As trolley cars Nos. 1,600 and 1,520 of the Gates avenue lines, in charge of Motormen Theodoro ~ Alter and William Essel, were passing through Gates avenue near Central avenue at 0:23 this evening they were as- salled by a fusilade of stones from the house tops and the windows on both sides of the avenue, The crowd which lined the side- walks joined in the attacks and sent volley after volley of stones into the cars. Patroi- men George Chackleton, Dennis Bush and James L. Coolihan were severely injured, Coolihan's nose was broken and Bush and Shackleton received several contusions about the face. The cars were stopped, when the stonethrowers ran away. The policemen’s wounds were dressed by an ambulance .sur- geon in the Ninth precint, to which station the injured were conveyed. At 8:45 p. m., as a car of the Halsey street line was being taken into the depot at Broadway and Halesy strect, a mob of over 1,000 men and boys gathered and threw stones at the car, smashing all the windows. The two policemen In the car got off and fired their revolvers at the mob, but so far as could be learned no one was injured, Pickets of the Seventh regiment, stationed there, made repeated charges and finally drove the crowd back. The ranks of the today were swelled by of tramps and loafers day, through the rain and fog, these hood- iums tramped from New York over (e Brooklyn bridge, bound for the point where instinet told them there would likely be the most trouble. It 15 estimated during one hour this morning, 5,000 persons crossed the bridge by way of the promenade, TWO POLICEMEN SHOT, While three cars on the Gates avenue line were.on their way down town at 6:30 o’clock this evening they were surrounded by a howl- Ing mob at Gates and Stuyvesant avenues. Missiles of every description were hurled at the men in charge of the cars and the po- lice ,who were escorting them. A portion of the mob had gathered on the housetops in the vicinity, and from this vuntage ground bricks, taken from chimneys, were hurled with terrible effect vn the police, rev- eral of whom were badly Injured. Em- boldened by the fact that the latter were comparatively powerless to make resistance, the mob pressed forward and a numher of shots were fired, several of which took ef- fect on Policemen Patrick Coolligan and James Degan of the Second precinct, who formed & portion of the guard, Degan was shot through the arm and Coolligan through the hand. They were taken to a nelghbor- ing store, where thelr wounds were dressed by an ambulance surgeon who was s moned, after which they were taken (o their homes, The mob after this succeeded jg wrecking thréd ¢ars which were down op- posite the Ninth precinct police siation on Gates avenue. Durlng the melee Kate Kar ney was detected throwing missiles from a window, She was placed under arrest. The greater number of new employes of the Brooklyn City Rallway company which were taken to the Ridgewood avenue stables tonight have deserted and joined the strikers, and tonight there is not a single man in the stables Who can operate the cars. The strikers uecceded in winning the men over this evening and are taking care of them for the night. ’ . JERSEY CITY, N. J, Jan. 21.--1t is al- leged that the employes of the Consolidatgd Traction company in Jersey City have decided to tle up the trolley roads in the event of the strikers in Brooklyn the addition of gangs form New York. All Brooklyn strike resulting in a victory for the men. HATCH IS HURRYING HOME Hawaiian Minister of Foreign Affairs Bailed for Honolulu, JAPANESE ARE BECOMING TROUBLESOME Coming Into tho Islands on Every Steamer and Are Beginning to Think Them- selves All-Powerful—Royalls Are Mostly English. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 21.—E. M. Hatch, minister of forelgn affairs of the Hawailan republic, sailed for Honolulu today. Mr. Hatch {s rushing home to lend his assist- ance to his government. He deplores the condition of affairs at Honolulu and declares that Hawall has many important questions to deal with in its coming history. Inci- dentally, it was learned from friends of the minister that the Japanese question is be- coming a serious one, and that the pro- visional government has not only had the royalists to deal with, but it has also had to use its force to suppress an uprising of panese laborers on the plantation of Ewa. Bwa fs a 20,000-acre grant, situated fifteen miles back of Honolulu. Several days before the revolution headed by Wilcox several hundred Japanese on the plantation made an attack on the overseer and nearly killed him. Several white men were pretty badly beaten by the rioters, and the police had to be called on for protection. “The Japanese, 1 fear, will overrun the country,” said the minister. “Every vessel from Japan brings in a large number of la- borers, and the Japanese are commencing to think that they are all powerful, They are quarrelsome and vicious. “Regarding the rebellion, T think it will be shortlived. The provisional government is amply strong enough to cope with the malcontents, and 1 expect to find the whites in complete control on my arrival at Hono- lulu, “Wilcox has been stirring up strife for a long time. It is true that a great many of the royalists are English subjects. This may lead to complications, but 1 am convinced that Bnglishmen are sensible enough to know that there fs no other course to pursue but to punish conspirators, whether the of- fender’s be English, German or Americans.” PLRIER LEAVES THE ELYSE Makes (is Formal Exit from the Palace of the I'resident In Puris. PARIS, Jan. 21.—Ex-President Casimir- Perier formally vacated his apartments in the Elysee palace at 11 o'clock today. By order of President Faure military honors wero rendered to the ex-president. As he appeared in the court yard the drum corps rolled out a salute and the guard of honor presented arms. All the members of the ex-president’s civil and military households assembled to bid him good-bye. He was dressed In a black frock coat and it was noticed that he did not wear the ribbon of the Legion of Honor. With his wife, who was attired in a dark costume, the ex-presi- dent entered a landau, drawn by two horses, and drove to his private residence. Only a small crowd of people witnessed his de- parture, but nearly all of those present un- covered their heads as Casimir-Perier drove away, a courtesy which he acknowledged quictly by bowing. President Faure lunched at the Elysee palace for the first time today. He will take up his official residence there perma- nently tomorrow. MURDERED FOR THEIR MULES., Americans Killed In Guatemala by Men Who Are Expecting a War, CITY OF MEXICO, Jan. 21.—Report comes from Tehuantepec that Colonel Dunn and Thomas Murphy have been murdered in Guatemala while enroute for the line of the Guatemala Northern railway, whither they were taking 100 mules, purchased in this republic to work on the construction of that raflroad. There is little doubt that the out- rage was committed by renegades along the border for the purpose of getting better mounts for use In the threatened conflict be- tween Mexico and Guatemala. The murdered men were Americans, formerly connected with the Tehuantepec Raflway Construction com- pany. An investigation will be demanded by the Americans in Mexico and Guatemala. COMING 10 A SHOW DOWN, Unless Guatemala Answers at Once Trouble I8 Likely to Ensue. CITY OF MEXICO, Jan, 21.—It was learned this evening that the warship Gen- eral Zaragossa has been crdered to a Guate- malan port to take on board the Mexican charge d' affaires, Senor Jose Godoy. If the Guatemalan government does mot answer the last and final note of the Mexican government there is believed to be the most imminent risk cf a declaration of war. President Diaz was to have gone on a hunting trip today, but postponed it, as is generally thought, on account of the serious situation with Guate- mala. It Is reported that a cabinet meeting will be held tonight or in the morning to take immediate action. Japs Land Near Wol-Hal-Wei, CHEE FOO, Jan, 2L.—About thirty-five Japanese transperts, each towing a couple of Junks and fifteen war ships, arrived in Yung Ching bay, south of the Chantung promon- tory. At daylight three of the war ships engaged the shore defense, silencing them after a dozen rounds. There was no further opposition and the Japanese ianded, it is es- timated, 26,000 troops. The landing was ef- fected during a heavy snow storm. Ying Ching is not far from Wei-Hal-Wel, Haron Hanfly's Successor, BUDA PESTH, Jan. 21.—Dr. Jessiderius, formerly minister of justice, has been elected president of the Chamber of Deputies in suc- cession to Baron Banffy, who is now premier of Hungary.

Spring Gun Arringement of a South Mun Kills His Nephew. YANKTON, 8. D., Jan. 2L.—(Special Tele- gram.)—H. (¢ ylor, a storekeeper in Mecling, a small town some miles east of this clty, placed a shotgun at the front door of his place of business on Baturday night as a protection against burglars, He attached strings to the. triggers and ras- tened the other end to the door latch, so that both barrels of the gun would be dis. charged with the siightest movement of the latch. Frank Eliott, nephew o Tay- lor, went to the store door and lifted {he latch. The gun was discharged, and i) llott received the contents of both barrels in his abdomen.

WERE DROWNED First Reports of the Slnking of the Mis- sourl Were Exaggorated. LOUISVILLE, Jan. 21.—The loss of life occasioned by the sifiking of the Memphis & Cincinnati line steamer State of Missouri, near Hardings landing, Saturday evening will be smaller than at first supposed. Some of those reported drowned have since turned up and at present the missing, as known to the survivors in the city, are: CHARLES MEREDITH, Cincinnati, freight handler, white. JACOB BARBOUR, Cincinnati, deck hand. JIM BARBOUR, Cinclnnati, colored, deck hand. WASH SMITH, hand. W. M. SIMS, Memphis, colored, deck hand. The fifteen passengers on board were saved, as were all the officers. Mr. Thomas Small, one of the local agents of the steamboat line, said today that James Seery, the steers- man who was reported lost, arrived in the city last night on the Tell City, and left this morning for Cincinnatl over the Ohio & Mississippl railroad. Mate Wilburton says Seery came upon the boat without making himself known. It is not unlikely that the list of missing may be further shortened by later developments. At the office of the Memphis, New Orleans & Cincinnati Packet company this morning was recelved a dispatch from Captain New- ton of the steamer State of Kansas stating that all passengers of the ill-fated Missouri had been picked up at Alton and other points. The Kansas reached the scene of the wreck about 6 o'clock thls morning and the tele gram was set from Stevensport at 6:30 o'clock. 2 Captain Joe Conlin, Clerks Julius Wheerle- man, Charles Howard, Russell Lewls, Pilots James and George Pell and other officers of the Missouri were at Alten this morning and Wwill arrive here on the City of Owensbora or the John K. Speed this evening. The Tell City brought thirty-three of the crew into this port last night. Most of these had been picked up at Harding's landing. The mate, Nick Adams, and one of the engincers wera plcked up in the middle of the stream in a yawl near Reno, seven miles below the scene of the accident. The mate and engineer had rescued a nuin of p 3 m ¢! the cabin and pilot nouse, among th being three of the five women passengers. The men were still following the wreckage When taken on board the Tell City. So far as could be learned at the local office only two persons boarded the boat here. They were Mr. and Mrs. John S Shannon of Ale andria. They had been stopping at the Gault house for a day or two, and were bound for Memphis, Other pasengers were ‘Casper Whitehead of Tobinsport, and Silas J. McCaffrey and wife of Philadelphia; Mies M. B. Org of Philadelphia; Mr. Garland of Cave-in-the- Rock, IIL; A. C. Moore of Lincoln, Neb., and James Black of Memphis. The cargo which the boat carried was unusually light, and it was the desire to get the boat to New Orleans as soon as possible fn order that it might get a good share of the heavy freight movement northward. Ordinarily the steamer carried from fifty to 100 passengers, and had the accident occurred a few days later the loss of life would probably have been much greater. ORDERED THE colored, Cincinnati, colored, deck HINAMEN OUT. White Laborers Determined fhoy Shall Not Work at Idaho Springs. IDAHO SPIRNGS, Colo., Jan. 21.—There 18 a likelthood of trouble in this camp over the fact of Chinese laborers being brought In to work in the mines. The first in- stallment of Chines> arrived on last Thurs- day for the Argonaut mine, up Ute creek about eight miles from Idaho Bight men were in the gang, white boss. Work commenced on Ieriday and continued Saturday. On Saturday night the Chinamen weré waited upon by a committee of twenty-five white miners, who requested them to quit the camp. The Chinese were flven until Sunday morning to leave and did so at that time, coming to town, where they camped, awaliting or- ders from the white boss, who went on to Denver to inyoke the ald of the federal authorities. ~The mine is own:d by the Argonaut Mining company of Denver, but has been leased to a boss Chinaman, who has many Chinese gangs working in the Rock Springs coal mines. The miners are determined that Chineee laborers shall not come in while there are fdle men and cut wages to $L30 a day, the rate the Chinese admit they are to' receive. If officers come to prevent the white men from inter- fering with coolie labor - there will be trou- ble. At this time it is hard to tell what will be the outcome, but in the iirst de- mand the miners have won, and if the Chinese win in the next movem:nt it s the intention of their boss to bring in many more of. the same class, B ROADS ARE ALL AGREED, Springs. with_one Unanimous Vote for Advancing the Onec Way and Round Trip Rate. CHICAGO, Jan., 21—All of the western roads have now recorded their votes on the question of advancing ‘the one way and round trip rates to the Pacific coast, and the vote is unanimous fof the raise, which will take effect on Februiry 15.

The fight, ever since the first general caucus last Wednesday, has developed into a battle between J. R. Burton of Dickinson county—who recelved his full strength, forty-seven votes, seven short of the required number to nominate—and the fleld, with Major Hood of Emporia and Senator Thacher of Douglas county the next candidates in point of strength, with any number of dark horses mentioned for the anti-Burton people to unite upon. Ever since then the anti- Burton men have been trying to combine on some one to beat Burton. The excitement has been intense and the question has been the sole topic of discussion in the hotel cor- ridors, at the capital and on the streets. Sunday the ministers in three leading churches preached strong sermons on the se- lection of a United States senator, and a mass meeting under the auspices of the Ministerial union of Topcka was also held at Hamilton hall, at which over 2,000 people were present, where strong resolutions were adopted. Mr. Bur- ton made a very strong fight from first to last, and has received splendid assistance from his wife, who was with him at his headquarters to the end. The anti-Burton caucus met shortly after 2 o'clock this afternoon with fifty-eight votes represented. A large number of ballots were taken. At one time, J. W. Ady received thirty-two. Major Hood's highest vote was thirty. Senator Thacher withdrew after the twentieth ballot, receiving as low as six votes before his withdrawal. The final ballot, shortly after 7 o'clock, resulted in fifty-five votes being cast for Lucien Baker, without counting his own vote. An adjournment was taken to 8 p. m., when the general caucus of the republican members of both houses met. The anti-Bur- ton men do not seem to be standing by their caucus nomince, and at this hour (9 p. m.), after five ballots have been taken, the result stands: Burton, 51; Baker, seatter- ing, 6. Lucien Baker received the nomination for United States senator on the tenth ballot, receiving fifty-four votes of the general caucus, LINES CLOSELY DRAWN. First Great Fight on the South Dakota Re- submission Bill Up Today. PIERRE, §. D., Jan. 21.—(Special Tele- gram.)—The first great fight of the session occurs tomorrow over resubmission in the scnate. Today the temperance committee re- ported the resubmission bill favorably, the committee standing seven to two. The ques- tion comes up tomorrow on adoption of the report. Both sides claim a victory, but there Is very little question that the majority will win, There Is considerable surprise here at the attitude of Black Hills members. Here- tofore they have always been resubmission- ists. This year McGee of Pennington and Priest of Meade counties are with the pro- Eibitionists, and McGee will lead the opposi- tion on the floor. Other Black Hills mem- bers, Rice and Wilson, are solid for resub- mission, as were the Black Hills members in the house. McGee has been flooded with letters and telegrams and petitions asking him to vote for the bill, and the populists have practically all decided the other way. The prohibition leaders have promised that most of the prohibitionists of the state will Join the populist party in case the members of that party defeat the resubmission bill. The vote tomorrow will stand substantially 24 for the bill and 19 against. For a week it seemed evident that several colleges, 2mong them the School of Mines at Rapid City, would be closed on account of the Taylor’ shortage. Sentiment has now largely changed, and there is every indication that both this &chool and others will recelve the same appropriation given two years ago. The senate unanimously voted to pass the bill today giving the Taylor Investigating committee $10,000 for expenses and power to summon witnesses, hire stenographers ani use any other means to prosecute the in- quiry.

One sena- tor will be elected for a term of four years to fill the existing vacancy, and the other for six years, to succced Joseph M. Carey. On Tuesday the senate and house will vote separately, but at noon on Wednesday the members will meet in joint session in repre- sentative hall to canvass the vote cast the day before, If it is found that two of the candidates voted for have received a ma- Jority of all the votes cast they will be de- clared the choice of the legislature for the respective positions. Clarence D. Clark and Francls B. Warren will unquestionably be elected on the first ballot, although Senator Carey and his friends have been industriously at work ever since the caucus met endeavoring to in- duce the members to repudiate their action on that occasion and hold another caucus on the senatorial question. They charge that It was a snap judgment affair, and, there- fore, should not be binding upon the mem- bers, who, they claim, did not understand the purpose of holding the caucus so early in the session. Every conceivable argument has been used, but ko far as known not a single member has the temerity, or even the desire, to father the repudiation echeme. It looks very much as though Mr. Carey’s name would not be mentioned in elther branch of the legislature when the candidates for United States senator are placed in nomina- tion, 1t is understood that the six democratic members In attendance three in the senate and three in the house, will give a compli- mentary vyote to ex-Governor George W, Baxte, CUTTING DOWN COUNTY SALARILES, Wyoming Legisiature Will Prune the Per- quisites and Emoluments of Local Offices. CHEYENNE, Jan. 21.—(Speclal.)—The gen- eral opinion throughout the state seems to bo that the exigencles of the times make it imperative that there be a radical reduction in the salarles of county officers in Wyoming.

Mullihan, Mirt Roy and Mose Elliott, the prisoners who were out on ball, have been rearrested and locked up in the county jail. Their names are registered on County Judgo McCutehen’s docket, opposite a cliarge of murder in the first degree. They were brought In at 7 o'clock evening by H. C. McEvony, Ellsworth Mack and John Murphy. Elliott and Roy weroe found at their homes, and Mullinan met tha officers near the same place. They botrayed no particular agitation when the warrants were read, and evidently were expeeting tha procedure, When they arrived at O'Nelll the officers took thelr prisoners out to supper, afte which they were taken to Judge McCutchen's court room, which was several 70 too small to hold the crowd that quickly gathe ered. The demeanor of the prisoners was materfally changed from what it was at the time of their previous arrest. They evidently realized that they were in a serious fix, and their nervousness was decidedly ape ent. Even Muilihan, who had pa through the trying ordeal at two weeks before, seemed to b shaken, His eyes shifted rapidly from the ceiling to the floor and back again. The muscles of his face twitched incessantly, and the smile which he assumed at times was plainly forced. Riliott, too, was plainly in an uneasy frame of mind. ' Roy was to all appearances the coolest of the trio. County Attorney H. E. Murphy appeared fon the state, but it was finally decided to postpone the setting of the preliminary exs amination until 10 o'clock tomorrow Mullihan and Elliott were both anxious to have an opportunity to consult their attor- neys before the hearing was decided on and there was no objection and they were ace commodated. As the offense with which they are charged is not bailable, they were turned over to Deputy Sheriff O'Neill, who locked them in cells. It is not unlikely that some time during the night they will be taken to the morgue and confronted with the body of the man whom they are accused of having murdered. i The complaint on which the warrants were issued was signed by Dell Akin and with the usual profusion of legal verbiage, charges the defendants with having caused the death of Barrett Scott by choking and strangling him by means of a rope around his neck, OTHERS ARE WANTED. { It is stated on relisble authority that at least half a dozen new warrants will be s sued some time this week. The officers who were out today expected to bring in Fred Harris, but he was not at home, Ho lives on a farm near Parker, and it is not bes lieved that his absence is more than tem= porary. Another visit will be made to hls house tomorrow. The identity of the addle tional suspects is not disclosed, but Is gens erally understood. Most of them are farme ers who live in the territory between Parker and the Niobrara river, and who are known to have belonged to the vigilance crganiza= tion. Some of these people have done too much talking to the various searching parties that have patrolled the country, and a com= parison of notes between the different parties has disclcsed some very damaging state- ments, It is hinted that the arrest of two or thres men who live here in O'Neill is also contemplated, but this is not certain at this time. The more immediate friends of the dead man assert that the tragedy was planned and suborned right here i O'Neill, and this will ba In evidence before the pres liminary examinations are finished, : There was some talk of filing five or six complaints tonight, but it was decided to postpone further action <n this line for & day or two, until the defendants’ atiorney, Mr. Uttley, returns from Lincoln. There Is a lively suspicion afloat that some one of the gang has ‘“‘peached.” There are sey= eral facts that give color to this view, and it is not explicitly denied. The searching parties had previously explored a consider- able pertion’ of (e river where the body, was found. They had dragged the bottom: within four feet of the very spot, but with= out success, The successful posse went almost to tho exact spot, and had scarcely, sunk their grappling irons into the waten beforo they brought up the quilt with which/ the body had been wrapped. Jt is belleved that Dell Akin and one or two others knew pretly nearly where t ok for the body beforo they left ill, and that they have some important facts in thelr possession, which will appear in dus time. The bearing of Mirt Roy tonight hag caused some suspicion that he has been in- duced to make some disclosures, on account of which he will secure immunity from punishe ment. He was evidently entirely at his easq while his older and more nervy companions wero obviously distressed. It is claimed that a meeting has been held by the vigllantes within the past twenty-four hours and that they are also apprehensive of a traltor in thelr ranks. If this 15 true it will be the first time that a member of a Holt county vigilance committee has ever been known to betray a secret of the organization, and it bis identity is established the vengeance of bis confederates will not be long in overtaks ing hin 0 DATE FOR THE FU No decision has yet been reached with ree gard to the date of Barrett Scott’s funeral, as his friends have rcasons of thelr own fop wishing to delay the event for a few days, The Masons and 0dd Fellows met this even~ ing and made arrangements to attend the services, They will be about 150 strong, and will be increased by nearly’ twice that number from other towns. Mrs, Scolt has requested the 0dd Fellows o taks charge of the services, and their ritual will be used. Mre. Scott 15 still prostrated, and it is feared that she will scarcely be equal to the nervous strain incldent to the funeral, and the subsequent preliminary examinations of the prisoners, It is lkely that the latter will last for & couple of wecks, as each case must be heard separately, apd’ the evidence on each side will be voluminous, Attorney Harrington, who the defense, Is still confident that no cons viction can be secured. He said today that the finding of the body gave the mora serlous aspect, but he still believed that sufe ficlent evidence could not be obtained to conviet his clients. On the other hand, the prosecution claims that abundant evidence will be forthcoming and that cvery man who. was concerned In the midnight horror wilk eventually be brought to justice Ham Kautzman, editor of the Light, has left O'Neill for a more grateful atmosphere, Early this morning he drove out of town behind o bay team without leays ing word as to Lis desiination sed unmoved s louse considerably, 0" ERAL. is condueting Beacom
