Buntin, Arrested at Grand Island, Will Bo Returned to Wisconsin, WAS M'XED UP WITH A BAD GANG Vast Quantity of Stolen Proporty Found in ouse pnd Identified us Haviog Been Taken from His Tratn, LINCOLN, July 9.—(Special.)—Sherift J. P. Delaney o Boone county, Wisconsin, was at the governor's office today with a requisition for an extradition warrant for William Henry Buntin, now under arrest at Grand Island. Buntin was a frelght conductor on the Chi- cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad, and lived at Green Bay, Wis. Between the 1st of July, 1894, and June 25 last a number of freight cars were broken into on his run between Milwaukee and St. Paul and prop- erty amounting to several hundred dolla stolen. A search warrant whs issued and Buntin's house ransacked, where all kinds of dry goods, notions, boots and shoes and hats and caps were found, all of which property Was identified. Buntin fled. Two brakemen, Moffett and McKenzle, were arrested for stealing the goods and Buntin was indicted for receiving stolen property. Requisition papers were honored for the persons of Max Fix and Mrs. Mary Kholar, mow under arrest at Omaha on the charge of adultery. Sherifft Hilger of Shakopee, Minn., secured them. THOUGHT THE JUDGMENT WORTHLESS. Maude Shugart, who recovered a verdict of $4,000 against the Lincoln Street Rallway company In a personal damage case, and whe was ordered by the court to file a re- mittur of $2500 today or a new trial would be granted, filed the same, evi- dently believing that a judgment of $1,500 is worth about as much as one of $4,000 against the company. In the case agalnst Alexander Buckner, the state was this morning permitted to amend its reply to the plea of former acquittal by introducing the records of the trial in the Douglas county district court of the evidence and proceedings had therein. The defendant elaims immunity from punishment, because, s he alleges, he was once placed in jeopardy fn Omaha for the same offense. He supports this by filing the records of the court show- s‘ that the judge had instructed the jury bring in a verdict of not guilty. The state dlaims that Buckner's a‘torney falled to file all the record of e proceedings, which will show that the court held that the evidence dbowed that the district court of Douglas eounty had no jurisdiction. It is for the parpose of getting this in that the state asked Jeave to amend its reply. . MRS. DB HAAS OUT ON BAIL.

LONDON, July 9.—M. De Blowitz, the famous Paris correspondent, commenting In the London Times today upon the alleged interview with the United States ambass: dor to France, Mr. James B. Eustis, pub- lished yesterday in the Figaro, said that such an interview evidently constituted a new departure in diplomacy. 1ln reference to the utterances imputed to Mr. Eustis regarding Canada, M. De Blowitz said it | would be difficult to believe that the am- bassador represented a friendly nation. Several of the Paris newspapers also com- | ment today on the alleged interview. The Estafette says that Mr. Eustis ad- mitted that the United States supported Canada against England and Cuba against Spain and that the United States has am- | bitious commercial ideas respecting Mada- | Bascar. All these acts and plans, the Es- tafette comments, “are contradictcry of the Monrob doctrine 'and combined with their apparent forgetfulness of our former fra- ternal relations, compels us to anticipate that the future will be darkened by disputes and misunderstandings.” The Libre Parole also severely criticises Mr. Eustis, and, accepting the Figaro in- terview as genuine, says the American ambassador has committed a breach of the laws of hospitality.
