Choate for the appellant and Winslow Pierce for the respondent argued an appeal from from the general an order of the etermining that the Union 1y and the receivers titereof party defendants in the action ht by the Soldiers’ Home of St. Louis consolidated bonds, against Russell and George J.

DEMAND AN INJUNCTION, The Court Asked to Restrain Agent Beck From Eject- ing Them. SERIOUS TROUBLE IS FEARED. Indlans Are With Difficulty Pre- vented From Opening Hostilities. OMAHA, NEsr., April 22.—Two hundred and ten Thurston County settlers were summoned to appear in the Federal court at Omaha to-day in the case wherein the Flournoy Land Company asks a perma- nent injunction, restraining Captein Beck, | agent of the Winnebago Indians, from ejecting the settlers on the reservation who subleased the Indian lands from that company. The case has been a feature of the disturbance on the reservation for months. It will be tried on its merits to- | morrow. United States District Attorney Sawyer, who has charge of the case for the Govern- ment, asserted that there was danger of trouble from the Indians unless the litiga- | tion is adjusted one way or the otherat an early date. He returned from the reserva- tion yesterday, and is inclined to think that danger is imminent. Mr. Sawyer says it was just such a case tees took the $3,000,000 of stock and ap- propriated it to their personal use. The bringing in of these defendants, the Union Pacific Company, was unneces- sary because the action was ag: two trustees personally, and the bringing in of the other trustees would defeat the sought to be obtained by the plain- Mr. Pierce, on behalf of the defendants, ndents, held that the bringing in of e Union Pacific as a defendant was in- spensable, because without them a final justment of the rights and equities of the parties could not be had. He held that by a judgment rendered by the oreme Court of New York in 1880, the suit of the Kansas Pacific against Gould and Sage, the 29,086 shares of stock were adjudged to be forever freed and released from the trust created by the mortgages and Gould and Sage were di- re. | rected to deliver the certificates of stock to the Ka Itisaverred sas Pacific Company S 2| Gonld and Sage complied with this order.

The profit of the company will come, of course, wholly from the sale of water rights. The land can be had from the Government by settlers for $1 25 an acre as soon asit is un- der irrigation. “We will have $500,000 cash capital se- cured on the start. Then the settlers tak- ing the first 100,000 acres will get a share of stock with each acre water rate. which will cost $20 each.” FORTUNE FOR A CONVICL. A Massachusetts Forger Said to Be Heir to Millvons in Nevada. HAVERHILL, Mass., April 22.—A let- ter received yesterday announces that Frank Howard Poor, whoisservinga year’s sentence for forgery in the Massachusetts reformatory at Concord, is heir to about $16,000,000 through the death of Frank Howara, a Nevada mine owner for whom Poor was named. He is about 24 years of age and before his crime was found out was very popular. He is an orphan and with the exception of a sister, who lives in Lynn, Mass., there is no near relative. The fortune to which young Poor is said to have become heir is invested in mining Tand real estate in Nevada, and besides Poor there are several other beneficiaries who are to receive amounts varying from $200,000 to $500,000. B — Will Kill the Cattle. CUREKA, Kaws., April 22.—Excitement here over the attempt to import Mexican cattle into this county for grazing is still intense. The State Sanitary Board will meet to-morrow and decide as to the ad- mission, and for the present the case is in statu quo. If the board decide to permit the cattle, which are now in quarantine, to be un- loaded, trouble, it is thought, will surely follow. Hundreds of cattlemen who have come to town since the controversy arose declare the animals shall be deported or killed at almost any cost. Stockmen Want an Investigation. ST. LOUIS, Mo., April 22.—The St. Louis Livestock Exchange, following the action of the Kansas City Exchange, to-day adopted resolutions protesting against the action of the Agricultural Department in relation to the rumored combine among the packers. The agitation is declared to have re- sulted in a reduction in the price of live cattle of at lease $1 per 100 pounds in the past two weeks. The members of the St. Louis Exchange invite a speedy and thor ough 1nvestigation of the alleged combine that the livestock business may soon re- sume its normal condition. —————— “I rixp the Royal Baking Powder su- rior to all the others in every respect.

HArxgs, M.D.” Chemist to the Chicago Board of Health. as the one that precipitated the outbreak among the Winnebagos in 1862, when they were on their reservation, which was at that time located in Minnesota. He talked with one survivor of the famous fight the other day, and the aged warrior | frankly told him that history was liable to repeat itself, and that with 600 fighting | men available they were liable to clean | out the Thurston County settlers some i morning if the question was not soon set- tled. | Conversation with others elicited the fact that it was with great difficulty that the pacific members of tne tribe counseled and enforced patience and obedience to the wishes of Captain Beck, the Indian agent, who favored a peaceful settlement of the difficulty. They were ready to fight at any time, and were only held in check | by the agent by promises of relief from the | present trouble. As Captain Beck has | authority to commission every Indian on | the reservation a policeman, it is predicted | that the authority thus vested would en- | courage an outbreak. With this fact in | mind, Captain Beck has commissioned but sixteen Indian police, although he admits that he will enforce the Government regu- | lations, if it takes every Indian on the | resery. tion. | Captain Beck is in Omaha, and also ex- | pressed the belief that trouble will result if | this question is not settled. He believed | that an uprising would be averted unless the Flournoy Company aggravates the In- dians ‘nto violent deportment. In the meantime he hoped and believed the Win- nebagos and Omahas would calmly await developments, and peaceably abide by his wishes for peace. He said the Indians had good cause for grievance. Even the money collected for Indian children has not been paid. It was a clear violation of guardianship confi- dence, and when an Indian’s child is wronged it generally found resentment in the hearts of the tribe. The Indians, he said, are now develop- ing a keen interest in the case. They have | lately established a relay of couriers, and assoon as information is obtained it is transmitted quickly, and in a few hours | all the Indians are posted on current events. ‘When asked why the two Indian police- men now in jail were not released on bail Captain Beck said he wanted them to re- main in jail in order to cinch a suit for false imprisonment, which he will bring against Sheriff Mullin and others. Asan example of the temper of the Indians the captain said tirat one chief volunteered 100 men to prevent thearrest of the two In- | dian police. SPEAKS FOR HIMSELF. President Cleveland Says He Needs No One to Talk for Him. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 22.—The statement which J. Sterling Morton gave to the press last week of his views upon the financial question has been interpreted by the press very generally as an utterance made on behaif of the President expressing his attitude. This inference was based largely upon the circumstances that Mr. Morton made public his statement so soon after his return from the White House, where he had been in conference with the President at the regular Cabinet meeting. This surmise was proven to-day to be in- correct by denials which were made by both President Cleveland and Mr. Morton. The President’s statement, which was given to the Associated Press by Private Secretary Thurber, follows. The Presi- dent, being asked this evening whether Secretary Morton’s interview upon the money question might be regarded as rep- resenting his views, replied: “I am in no manner responsible for Mr. “Morton’s interview and knew nothing of it until I r2ad it in the papers., When I have seen fit to say anything to the people on the money question or any other subject I have thus far found it quite easy to do so directly and on my own account.” pod LS Ready for Canal Business.

He will come direct to Washington and the committee will organize at once and proceed to busi- ness. —_——— Need Not Label Horsemeat. ‘WASHINGTON, D. C., April 22.—Dr. Salmon, chief of the Bureau of Animal In- dustry of the Agricultural Department, in speaking of the report that a large horse slaughtering and packing industry had been started in Portland, Or., said there was no law compeiling such meats to be labeled, as in the case of oleomargarine when sold as butter. The buyers of beef can distinguish this kind of meat, as Gov- ernment inspection of slaughtered cattle is made, and a Government stamp is placed on each quarter of beef. Dr. Salmon says “hat the department has endeavored to secure legislation similar to the oleomarg- arine law, which will compel dealers in horsemeat to have it labeled, so that con- sumers need not be deceived. = gadeh SALMON ON CATTLE. Agitation Cannot Destroy the Truth of Statements Regarding Prices. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 22.—Dr. Salmon to-day was shown the dispatch given out by R. P. Woodbury, secretary of the Kansas City stockyards, in which it was charged that the agitation begun by the Agricultural Department has hurt the livestock industry. In reply Dr. Salmon said. “The United States Department of Agri- culture had its attention called to the dis- crepancy between the prices of fat cattle on the hoof and the price of prime beef in retail markets before an investigation had been authorized by any person connected with the department.” " He declared that he did not credit the statement that the agitation had put down the price of live cattle and maintained the retail price of beef as it is alleged by the Kansas City stockyards people; prices depend now and have depended all along on the relation of the supply of beef to the demand for beef. “Agitation and investigation,” he said, ‘“can neither cripple nor destroy the truth and the right, and it is due to the pro- ducers and the consumers alike that the intermediary profits of middlemen stand- ing between them should be only reason- able and compensatory. The advance in prices by retail dealers in dressed beef of 5 cents to the consumers when there is an advance of only $1 per 100 pounds to the farmers and cattle-feeders for animals on the hoof is not regarded as equitably proportioned.” IN K PRIVATE MADHOUSE, DR. A Butte Woman Said to Have Been Unjustly Held at San Diego. She Is Found Only After Her Hus- band Had Been Charged With Her Murder. SALT LAKE, Uram, April 22.—A spe- cial to the Herald from Butte, Mont., says: An evening paper printsa startling story about a former well-known woman, Mrs. Jerome B. Westgate, having been locked up in a private madhouse at San Diego, Cal., on charges trumped up by her hus- band. About ten years ago the woman owned large real estate interests in Butte, but her health failed, and her husband persuaded her to dispose of hem property and go to California. Since then her friends and a sister living here have heard little from her. Some weeks ago the sister received an anonymous letter, informing her that Mrs. Westgate was incarcerated in a private asylum at San Diego. The former at once went to her sister’s rescue and secured her release and has just returned to Butte with her. Mrs. Westgate isa physical wreck, She says that shortly aiter they settled in San Diego she invested her money successfully, while her husband became worthless. She threatened to sue for a divorce and then he schemed to get possession of her property. He destroyed their marriage certificate and denied that she was his wife. She claims that he drugged her and had her confined in a private asylum and keptina solitary cell for weeks. Friends charged her husband with mur- der, and in this way her whereabouts was discovered, Mrs. Westgate has secured a copy of her marriage certificate and will return to San Diego to recover her prop- erty. WESTGATE’'S STATEMENT. He Denies the Charges Made by His Nister-in-Law. SAN DIEGO, CaL., April 22.—Jerome B. Westgate states that for some time after he and Mrs. Westgate came to San Diego she showed signs of insanity, but that no particular notice was taken of her case until last October, when she was regularly examined by physicians here, declared insane and committed to the asylum at San Bernardino, from where reports occasionally reached him that she was no better. On April 15 he was in- formed by the manager of the asylum that Mrs. Westgate had been released on March 28 with a certificate that she was 95 per cent sane and that she had accompanied her sister to Chicago. ‘Westgate also states that he helped his wife to obtain a divorce, and that he was married to her by contract in February, 1893, in this city, and that he has this certificate still in his possession. He says that all the property is still in his wife’s name, that he has never practiced any cruelty toward her, and that he was not aware, until quite recently, that she was either liberated or that any steps were being taken to secure her property. He now declares it to be his intention to procure a divorce and apply for a restitution of his property, as he con- siders it rightfully belongs to him. Westgate is living here in a quiet and unassuming manner, occunying a cottage that appears to have been built by careful saving, and he is carrying on a small cal- cimining business in order to- make a living. Neither his personal appearance nor his known habits would indicate either a violent nature or extravagant living.

MARRIED WITH POMP. George N. Curzon and Miss Mary Leiter United. ALL WASHINGTON AGOG. Curious People Struggled to Get a Glimpse of the Bridal Party. FORCE OF POLICE ON DUTY. Prominent Guests From All Parts of the East Attend the Wed- ding Breakfast. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 20.—The wed ling of Hon. George Nathaniel Curzon, M.P., and Miss Mary Leiter was celebrated at St. John’s Episcopal Church at 11:30 o’clock to-day amid scenes of such bril- liancy and in the presence of such a dis- tinguished assemblage of Cabinet officers, diplomats, Governors and Bishops as gives the event the character of a public cere- mony. The church was filled and surrounded by a curious crowd. The ushers were Joseph Leiter, brother of the bride, and Frank Curzon, brother of the groom. Mrs. Cleveland occupied a seat in the forward part of the church. The President did not appear, as it is an unwritten law that the Executive shall not attend private social events. The wedding party’ moved up the main aisle to the chancel, where Bishop Talbott and Rev. Dr. Mackay Smith officiated. The bride, in white satin and rare white lace, carrying a cluster of white orchids, was on the arm of her father. The bridesmaids, Misses Nannie and Daisy Leiter, wore pink tulle gowns, with large pink mull hats, and carried large bouquets of pink roses. The groom and Mrs. Leiter, Sir James and Lady Millerand Lord Lamington, the groom’s best man, Joseph Leiter and Frank Curzon completed the party. After the marriage service of the Epis- copal church the wedding party withdrew to the Leiter residence, where they were joined later by relatives and intimate friends for the wedding breakfast. A large force of policemen were on duty outside the church, but it was with dif- ficulty that the-crowd could be held in check. A solid mass of people, mainly women, blocked the sidewalks and streets, so that the carriages bringing the guests had to force their way to the church en- trance under escort of the officers. There was such a rush when the carriage of Mrs. Cleveland and that of the bride arrived that women screamed and fainted and for a time there threatened to be a panic. No accidents occurred, however, although the crush resulted in many torn and dis- heveled garments. The guests at the wedding breakfast were as follows: From Washington — Mrs. Cleveland, Mrs. Gresham, Secretary of War and Mrs. Lamont, Mr. and Mrs. Olney, Secretary of the Navy and Miss Herbert, Mr. and Miss Morton, Sir Julian and Lady Pauncefote, the German and French Embassadors, the Belgian Minister, Senator and Mrs, Cameron, Senator and Mrs. Brice, Chief Justice and Mrs. Fuller, Justice and Mrs. Harlan, Justice and Mrs. Gray, Justice and Mrs. White, Justice and Mrs. Brown, Senator and Mre.

C., April 22.—Army officers are very much interested in the promotions all along the line which will be occasioned by General McCook’s retire- ment to-day. General Merritt, it is be- lieved, stands the best chance for the major-generalship, as he is the senior offi- cer and has a good record. The other brigadier-generals concede that General Merritt is entitled to the honor. Colonel Bliss is likely to be appointed brigadier-general, though it is said the President may surprise the army folks by selecting Colonel John M. Wilson, who is now detailed as superintendent of the Government buildings in Washington. He is the custodian of the White House and is President Cleveland’s intimate friend. The other colonels who are eligi- ble for this promotion are Merriam, Mason, ‘Wade, Frank and Henry. The appoint- ments are expected Tuesday or Wednes- day. Renearing Denied. WASHINGTON, D.

A —_—— SUGAR MACHINERY WANTED. It May Be Necessary to Prosecute to Recover Government Property. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 22.—The Department of Agriculture has prepared a report in answer to the Senate resolution inquiring as to the whereabouts and con- L ditions of the experimental sugar machin: ery which was purchased by the depart- ment at various timesat a cost of about $280,000. So far, the report says, very lit- tle good has ever been derived from it. The machinery was loaned out to persons to make experiments and it is now in the hands of private parties. The most of it is in Kansas, though a small portion is in Florida and Louisiana. The department will also take up the question of what to do with it, and it is thought it will be appraised and sold. Some difficulty is anticipated in proving the title to the property, as a great deal of it is in the hands of people who claim pos- session. In several cases the Department of Agriculture has referred the Govern- ment cases to the Department of Justice, and it is expected that United States Dis- trict Attorneys will be called upon to assist in reclaiming the machinery. et e grer g S Roaring Artesian Well.
