Armstrong secretary. The speaker proved to be George Ficks of Sacram After quite a harangue, h guments from a railroad standpoint,’during which he was inter- rupted from time to time, he read a set of resolutions denouncing the action of La Rue and Stanton, condemning them as demagogues, etc., ewc., and asked that the meeting indorse the resolutions. Pandemonium was the resnlt. Amid wild cheers the resolutions were laid on the table. A motion was made indorsing the action of the Railroad Commissioners and recommending a further reduction of 10 per cent. The meeting was then dismissed by prominent local labor leaders, who were of ers the opinion that the railroad was not the | great friend of the workingman that the first speaker endeavored to make out.

William Howell, ex-County Auditor and resent court reporter, was®indicted for lelony in falsifying the records of the county. collectors’ hands the scalps receipts twice over to an amount reaching far into the thousands, | Accompanying this indictment was a protest signed by one member of the jury stating that since it was decided to indict him new evidence had been found which convinced him the Auditor was innocent, but the jury had refused to reconsicer the matter. This protest has caused a decided sensation. John Withington is one of those charged with the coyote frauds, and George Keifer, a saloon-keeper, is another. A man named Weill, residing in another State, is a third. The names of the others indicted are still kept secret, as no more arrests have been made. Others will follow to-morrow. In the meantime public rumor couples the names of a number of prominent citizens with the frauds, but the Grand Jurymen are close-mouthed, and it is impossible to ascertain the identity. All the accused promptly gave bonds. The examination of Howell and Baker was set for next Monday. SRR T FOUR LYNCHINGS RUMORED. More Crime Reported From the Round Valley Country.

The fact that General Kautz had two sons by his Indian wife was never generally known, though his present wife was aware of the fact and has recognized them asthe general’s sons. ‘When the dominion of the Hndson Bay Company gave place to the authority of the United States in Washington Terri- tory, General August V. Kaute, then a lieutenant in the United States army, was stationed at Fort Steilacoom. While there he was married to the orphan daughter of Chief Lashimere, then a girl of 15 years, living with her mother, who had become the wife of Sergeant Gordon of Lieutenant Kautz's command. They were married in accordance with the rites and customs of the tribe to which the girl belonged, and she at once became chief lady of the post. On March 2, 1857, Nugen, the elder son, was born at the officers’ quarters at the fort, and on February 9, 1859, Augustus was born at Fort Semiahmoo. When General Kautz was detached from the department of Puget Sound and or- dered to reportat Washington, Mrs. Kautz did not,like the idea of going away from all her people, and it was agreed between them that she remain at Nisqually reser- vation until such time other arrange- ments could be made. Perhaps realizing that by the fortunes of war he might never see her again, he asked her to promise him that the boys should beeducated up amid the surroundings of civ General Kautz never saw the young mother again, and not until the boys were grown to men’s estate did he ever see them, tween thens, and a monthly allowance for their support and education was sent by the general until they struck out for themselves. In 1875 the boys joined their mother in Olympia, then the capirtal and chief city of the Territory, and entered Union Acad- emy, the leading institution of learning in the Northwest. General Kautz paid for the tuition and books and the boys and their mother provided for the other ex- penses. Mrs. Kautz wasa favorite with the ladies of the capital. In 1879 the boys left the academy with high honors, standing 99 in a class com- posed of the brightest boys of the Terri- tory. Among their schoolmates were James Picket, son of General Picket, who became a noted artist; Allen W er, first Secretary of State; Maurice McMicken of the firm of Struve, Allen, Hughes & Mec- Micken of Seattle; Robert McFadden, Her- bert Burket of Port Townsend, Harry Mc- 5 Elro{;'oLieuienant John Hayden, the Tal- cott boys of Olympia; A. Ferry, youngest son of the first Governor of the State: the three daughters of Judge Bigelow of Olym- ia; Clara Ludiow, now Mrs. Herbert eecher, and many others who belonged to the brilliant social circle which gathered at the little capital in the far Northwest. hile the boys were at Forrest Grove College their mother married Henry Walker of Yelm Prairie, whom she had known for many years, and with whom she lived until her deathin 1888, She married a man named Diggins sev. eral years before, after she learned that General Kautz had married a woman in the East; but the marrnage was not a happy one and she procured a divorce, EI- wood Evans acting as her attorney. Mr, Walker still livesat Hunters Point, near Olympia. When General Kautz was about to re- turn to the West he wrote the boys, asking them to meet him at Tacoma Hotel. Augustus was nqu at the time, and Nugen went to the hotel on the day appointed; but not finding his father there strolied down Pacific avenue toward the depot un- til he saw his father coming half a block away. The general came up to him, stopped, put out his hand and said, “You are my boy, aren’t you?”’ Nugen admitted that he was, and they returned to the hotel. The general visited the boys at their farms, advised with them about their prospects, telling them to hold their lands and as soon as his affairs were arranged he would provide them with money to carry out their I;lnua. He also told them that in case of his death he had made provision for them in his will. Nugen married Liz- zie L. Olney, niece of the late Judge Olney of Portland.

SACRAMENTO, CaL., Oct. 24.—As the 5th of November draws near, when Sacra- mento will ehoose her next Mayor, all kinds of rumors fill the air. Itis openly stated that the supplement to the Great Register has been stuffed; that agents of at least one of the candi- dates is in San Francisco . drilling men who it is said will attempt to cast illegal votes a week from next Mon- day. More than all this, it is claimed that a gang of pugilists will come from the city on the bay to see that colonizers get tocast their votes. How much truth there may be in these stories cannot, of course, be ascertained, for the reason that the men who are behind schemes of this sort are extremely careful about allowing it to be known. One thing is certain. if anything of the kind is attemoted Sacramento will have one of the warmest elections in her history. Members of the Citizens’ Central Com- mittee openly state that they believe that the rumors are correct, and that they are going to have a large number of friends and supporters from the outside on hand on election day to see that everything is done *‘on the square.” In consideration of the strength of the different candidates and the amount of feeling there is in the approaching contest the campaign has been remark- ably quiet, but this is believed by many to be but the calm that precedes the storm, and that the 5th of November may prove to be a day long to be remembered in the history of Sacramento, Aside from the fact that the organ of the railroad company is supporting Wilson, the big corporation seems to be taking no | active interest in the fight. far as can be learned, they money into it.

He said that it was useless for him to talk on single tax here in Boston, for the people knew as much about it as any one in the country. He said that the strongest side of the movement was not that of -fiscal re form, but that of the stimulation and ¢ tivation of the moral side. “We must awake enthusiasm in the work,” he said. “In that manner alone is it possible to save civilization. We are but a hanaful of men in this country. “We were fooled at’the last Presidential election and did not receive the great trmm?hs that we expected. We shall not be fooled again. From now on we must expect nothing from National politics. Our best field 1s in local politics.” He then spoke of the work in Delaware, telling of the privations of the workers, and saying that all single-taxers were solid for that movement, G. F. Stevens then spoke of the work in Delaware, where he had been so actively engaged. X A collection ywas taken by subscription and $1100 rhised, twice as much as was raised last year.

Together they returned to the scene of the shooting and found that some neigh- bors had arrived and bad carried Vogeli | into Linton’s cabin and placed him on the bed. When the shooting took place Vo- geli stood about forty feet from the cabin and the shot entered at the left side of his backbone, but did not come out. Itis thought the ball penetrated the vital organs. The shooting was the result of a di agreement arising from mining, in wh the two were partuers about two ago. Linton’s story is that Vogeli acc: him of daking more than his share of t gola from the sluiceboxes and making uo returns therefor. Last Monday Vogeli met Linton on the road and threatened to kill him if he did not pay $50 to settle the matter. Linton claimed not to have his checkbook and also claimed not to have the money. Vogeli left him, saying he would come on Wednesday to his cabin and get the amount. He came around with a gun and { made Linton draw him a ¢ k for the money. Some dispute as to the stopping of the payment was indulged in, aud Vogeli said if it was not paid he would return and make him issue another check, At this Linton reached inside the cabin, took down a muzzle-loading gun and fired. | Vozeli fell in his tracks and Linton went to McLaughlin’s. McLaughlin broug | bim down to Jackson last night a | turned him over to the Sheriff this mo: ing. No statement from Vogeli has yet reached Jackson. Linton came to this county from Yolo, where he has relatives, and has prospected a great deal during the past fifteen vears. Vogeli isa native of Amador County. He ran for Supervisor last year on the Re- publican ticket and was defested by Mc- aughlin. —_— - Stolen Ore Found at Nogales.
