CHEYENNE, Sept. 14.—(Special Telegram.) ~The trial of E. 8. Crocker, a wealthy stockman of Evanston, charged with the murder of his partner, Harvey Booth, in Jan- uary last, s attracting great interest in this state. The feature of the trial today was the evidence of Mrs. Booth, widow of the murdered man, and of Coroner Cashin, Mrs. Booth told of the search for her husband, when by his absence from home she sus- pected harm had befallen him. She was ae- Eisted in the search by Crocker, who found the body of Booth in the barn, mangled frighttully by the blows dealt by his assas- &in. She sald the relations between her hus- band and Crocker had been unfriendly for two years prior to the murder. Crocker had made a friendly visit to her husband's house three years ago, but not since. Coroner Cashin described the appearance of Booth’s body when it was found and gave in detail the attempts made to unlock the safe and desk of the murdered man and the part taken by Crocker in the attempt. After leaving the stand Mrs. Booth ex- pressed disappointment at the restriction placed upon her by the attorneys for the de- fense in governing her testimon: “I was never in court before” she said, “but it seems to me that testimony should bo allowed showing the motive of the ac- cused for committing the crime.” N R L FORGED A NEW LINK IN THE CHAIN. Police Claim to Have Found More Evidence Against Durrant. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 1+.—A few weeks ago Detective Lees sald that if a witness could be found who would supply the neces- gary proof that any or all of Blanche Lamont's rings were in the possession of Theodore Durrant before they were returned to Mrs. Noble In so mysterlous a manner the last and strongest link in the chain of evidence aga'n:t the young medical student would have been forged. This witness has been found. He is a busl- ness man, a man of unquestionable integrity, and he comes forward' with his statement at this late day because he believes it to be his duty to make known the facts within his knowledge before it is too late for them to have any effect on the trial now in As far as his knowledge goes, he s positive as ta his facts. This witness, who has come to the front 80 opportunely and who will prove such an important factor in the presentation of the case for the people, 1s W. J. Phillips. His testimony will be corroborative of that of Adolph Oppenheim, the pawnbroker, who testified at the preliminary hearing that Durrant entered his place of business a few days after the murder of Blanche Lamont and trled to pawn one of her rings. Phillips says he was near the pawn shop at the time and saw Durrant when he entered the place. : ‘The Increase in the number ‘of witnesses against Theodore Durrant and the apparent strengthening of the prosecution’s case has made no difference in the attitude of the counsel for the defense, who still maintain that they have something conclusive in the prisoner’s favor when their turn comes at the witness box. The parents have apparently lost none of their confidence in their son's innocence, although they are in ignorance of the plan of deferse to be made by their son’s attorneys. The defendant seems now to real- ize the weight of the case against him, but is as unmoved as ever. The police have at I t identified Durrant's unknown girl admirer, who attends court every day and who formerly sent him flowers. Shu Is Rosalie Holland, the daughter of well- to-do people in Oakland. She knew Durrant before the murder and believes him innocent. It was suggested that perhaps the funds for Durrant’s defense were supplied by the young ‘woman, but it is doubtful if she could.control the amount sufficient for this purpose. The expent of the defense are belleved to be very large. i — DESPERATE NEBRASKA FU ITIVE, Matthew Coffee of Central City Julled at Edgemont, S, D. EDGEMONT, 8. D., Sept. 14.—(Speclal Telegram.)—Matthew Coffee, who was in- dicted for burglary at Central City, Neb., and jailed there, broke jail September 3 and went to Alliance, where he robbed Can's store, getting away with considerable money. Posters describing him were sent over the road, and Ed Crowell, chief of police of Elge- mont, saw him on the train. He followed him to Deadwood, arrested him and brought him to Edgemont, placing him in fail. Cof- feo fought like a tiger and swore he would get away. This evening an alarm of fire was glven, and it was found that Coffee had fired the jall bullding and was waiting for a chance to escape. He got pretty well warmed up before the fire was put out. Marshal Crowell has him chained and is watching him closely. * Coffeo swears he will kill some one before he goes to the pen. He is the most innocent looking kid possible, but can fight like a demon. - ————— German Methodists Select Delegnten.

INVOLVES A LARGE INSURANCE CLAIM Disappeared Near Medicine Lodge, Kan, in 1879 and a Hody Al- leged to Have Been Hiw Was Produced. TOPEKA, Kan., Sept. 14.—The discovery of Dr. George W. Fraker has revived interest in a somewhat similar and even more famous [ C. M. Foulkes, claim agent of the Santa Fe, and C. W. Ryus, his assistant, claim to know the whereabduts of John W. Hil'mon, and have offered to produce him for a consid- eration. They refuse to talk about the matter or give any intimation as to whera Hillmon now is, but it is understood they have made a proposition to the insurance company to give him up for $10,000. It is rot known whether the companies will accept the proposition or not, although for years they kept a standing offer of $40,000 reward for Hillmon, dead or alive. The attorneys here for the companies say they do mot want Hilimon; that it is not necessary to produce him in order to win the suit for insurance now pending in the federal court. Hillmon disappeared near Medicine Lodge, Kan., in 1579, shortly after having in‘ured his life for $20,000. His wife claimed the insurance, and as proof of death produced a body alleged to be Hillmon's. The insurancs companies refused payment, claiming the body was that of one Frederick Adolph Walters, who disappeared at the rame time. Mrs, Hillmon brought suit to collect the insuranc: and the companies fought It. There have been four trisls. Three times the jury dis- agresd. Once a verdict for the amount claimed was returned, but on appeal to the United Stats upreme court the ci Was re- manded on of error for a mew trial.

Mistrust the Motives of the Honolulu Doard of Health SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 14.—Private ad- vices recelved from Honolulu and published here today state that cholera has secured a stronger hold on the Hawallan capital than the authorities there are willing to admit, The natives are sald to be much incensed at the Honolulu health officials and do not will- ingly obey their orders. .The natives not only conceal new cases from the authorities, but decline to use the treatment prescribed and hide the fatalities resultant from the epidemic. The natives will not trust them- selves in the hands of’ {he board of health If they can avoid it, beligving that such treat- ment means certain death. -Those who come intimately In contact withithe natives say that they are much exerclsed over the spread of the disesse, which they ascribe to the unpopular board of health, It I8 predicted that, upless the disease abates or some change s, made in its man- agement the natives will revolt and resort to their favorite remedies for the disease— riots and incendiarism. - Thare are physicians in Honolulu who enjoy the confidence of the natives, but the doctors are not in favor with the board of health gnd can take ne prominent part in the uppression of the epldemic.

Mr, Seiter has been working for o long time to make this deal and It is said he now exvects to vayv dollar for dollar, SPAIN BOUND T0 CRUSH CUBA Ouly Waiting for the Rainy Season to Come toan End, MAKING GREAT MILITARY PREPARATIONS Spanish Minister to the United States Declares that His Government Pro- poses to Put Down the Rebel- lion After This Mouth. WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.—Senor Dupuy de Lome, Spanish minister to the United States, today expressed his firm belief that the rebellion In Cuba is sure to be crushed. It is impossible, he added, to say just when, because of the conditions that exist. The minister characterizes the methods employed by the rebels as guerilla warfare, and de- clares that it will be impossible to have a decisive battle under such conditions. A great deal of misinformation, he said, has been sent out by the rebels. “It is easy to account for the efforts now employed by the Spanish government,” sald the minister. “The climatic conditions of Cuba are very peculiar, July, August and September are the three great generals for the rebels. Two are dead and the third {s fast dying. These months include the ralny eeason in Cuba and the most unhealthy for the Spanish troops. It is» impossible to carry on success- ful warfare amidst pouring rains. But the Spanish government has been preparing for an active campaign. It is probable that active movements will not begin, however, until the 1st of October or some time during that month, according to the conditions of the weather, It is sometimes asked why troops are now landed in Cuba, when they are not to be called into active service for some time. The answer is plaln. From the 20th of September until the 20th of November is tho cyclons season in the West Indies, and there is great difficulty In transporting troops, as well as great danger of loss of lite. Before the 20th of September all the troops necessary to crush the rebellion will be landed, and as soon as the rainy season 1s over an active and vigorous campalgn will begin, There can be no doubt as to the re- sult. There is no question that the insurrec- tionists will be scattered and the war ende Washington Has a Candidate, WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.—The Washington delegation to the annual encampment of Sons of Veterans at Knoxville, leplves he‘!au:le! 3:45 this afternoon. The delegation will reach Knoxville tomorrow afternoon. The delegates wlll present the name of Dr. John R. Neely of this city for commander-in-chief, REVIEW OF THE CROP CONDITIONS, Wheat in Many Sections Not Coming Up to Expectntion. WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.—The statistical report of the Agricultural department today gives a report of general crop conditions not comprised in that made public on the 10th inst. It says that In Minnesota there is a lower wheat yleld than was anticipated and considerable smut, which is also prevalent in North Dakota, where threshing shows a very good yleld. There is a slightlv improved con- dition in South Dakota. As to the Pacific coast the report shows in Oregon improve- ment since August 1, in Washington damage by hot winds in the western part, offset, how- ever, by good condition in the eas(; berry hard and ‘well filled. The California crop, which was largely shelled out by June winds, is estimated o be less than since farming be- came general in that state; considerable late grain cut for hay, The least promising of important oat states are Kansas, with a percentage of 52; Illinols 3, Michigan 66, Indiana t9. These states produced nearly one-third of the crop of 1894, The rye crop in the east and south is gen- erally good, average being lowered by con- ditions in western states. Five-sixths of the product of barley in 1894 was produced in six states which have condi- tions at harvest the present year of: New York 90, Wisconsin §7, Minnesota 87, Mlis- souri 92, North Dakota 93, California 3. The conditions of buckwheat in important states range from 59 In Michigan to 103 in Maine. New York and Pennsylvanla, which produced more than two-thirds of the crop in 1894, have each §8. In eleven states and two territories, which together produced a little over one-fifth of the last year's crop of potatoes, the condition ranges from 100 to 119. The states of larg- est production are Pennsylvania 100, Missouri 104 and Minnesota 108. Drouth and potato rot most frequently caused the low conditions, Sweet potato average conditions range from 101 in Florida to 70 In Ohlo. Tobacco average condition s 2.6, The prospect 18 much brighter than last year, when the September condition stood at 74.5, and in Wisconsin there is a very decided im- provement Clover seed, 64.4, s lower than In any recent year except 1894, owing to low condition on the area to be harvested. Both apples and peaches show slight im- provement, Drouth has caused dropping and the rapld maturity of apples, but the damage has not been sufficient to alter ‘the general average for tLe country. The average condi- tion of apples is now 72, and of peaches h Grapes range from one-half to a fyll » in the eastern and middle states, about th quarters of the normal product being ‘5 ported from New York. Figures are gengi ally bigh in the south. Abolt nu-ee-(ourt‘ the usual product is indicated for Knna{. and Nebraska, In the mountain and Pacifie states condltions are generally high. Ipe provements are noted in the latter reglonj except in California, where a decline of twelve points is reported. The department’ California agent reported the quality of t crop fully up to the average, but the quantity In many sections from 15 to 25 per cent short. Condition of sorghum s generally fine, the lowest flgures coming from northern lo« calities. The crop gives somewhat better promise than last year. The highest condition reported for sugar cane, 96, Is found In Georgla; the lowest, 80, in Texas. A marked improvement in condition of rica Is noted. The general average now stands at 94.5. A decided betterment took place in all the important states except Georgia. The reports 2s to the number of stock hogs for fattening show a general average for the United States of a decrease of 7.4 per cent, as compared with last year. Ho cholera and *“a strange disease” are reportes in some states, affecting principally young hogs. But the chlef cause given for the de= crease 1s scarcity of feed, Eleven states, however, show an increase In numbers. The average condition as to welght and size is 3.9, 2.6 points over last year. In the south Atlantic and gulf states more hogs are being raised for home consumption. OTOE SETTLERS GIVEN MORE TIMB, Recent Order of the Interior Departs ment Rec: ered. WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.—The Interior des partment, acting on the representations of the attorneys for the settlers on the Otoe Indian rescrvation in Kansas and Nebu:Xl. has decided to reconsider the recent order directing the land office to force the payment of the balance due by the gettlers within ninety days on penalty of eviction.
