Hydr. ulic Operations Soon to Be Commenced on a Vast Bed. CANNOT BE SLUICED IN FIFTY YEARS. Crowded Stages Still Rolling Into Trinity Center—Casey and His Townsite Boom. CARRVILLE, —A Dbig nvol ment of about §300.000 in the enormous bed of golden gravel hich the town of ¥ built, has just been compiished, and next spring tensive operations on one of test bydraulic properties of the be old Bioss and McCleary hydraulic property is the chief feature of the pur- e, but a number of other pieces of ground are included. Where Trinity Center 1s located the narrow valley—or rather canvon—of the Trinity River videns to about e mile, and there is a sloping bench of that width about a mile balf long. It is compos:d of river wash varyi depth abovethe bedrock from 15 to 125 feet. Tue little town occupies but a swnall part F half a mile back from the z bench is too low to give fall along the surface to carry debris to the river in sluices. Back of the town at the hirhest elevation the gravel has been hydraulicked for many years, leaving ereat red banks. About $500,000 has been taken from thiriy acresot gronnd, t has not yet been made. had several owners and it got its present name from Bloss and Mc- Cleary, who are the last owners. Some time ago the Eilery and Reel Com- 1y secured a long working bond and have sin been conducting operations with two four-inch nozzles, each of which in season bas been averagine $100 a day. Thes: people control about 60 acres of the bench. The present ditches bring water several miles from Swift Creek and deliver it under a heavy pressure. Several experts b examined the whole bench and their estimates of the gravel vary from 25 to 75 cents a cubic yard. It has been e-timated that the gold now in the whole bench waiting to be sluiced out amounts to $19,000,000. A number of «fforts to secure the prop- o enlist' the great amofnt of ed for extensive and econom- ons have Last March John B. Eldridge of San Fran- cisco secured & bond on the property and at once began negotiations with Boston capitalists, which have been in progress ever since. Mr. Eldridge is now here and reports that the deal is completed and as- sured but for final investigation of titles toadjoining property. The first payment will undoubted!y be made on Thursday. The land secured will cost the Bostoa syn- dicate $275,000. Over 920 acres of the gold-bearing gravel of the bench is involved, and this includes vractically all of the town property. The operations that will follow will sweep away the foundations of the town to bed- rock, about thirtv feet below the present level of the street, from which gold is daily panned at’ watering troughs for amusement. Three or four of the prop erty - owners have demanded too high and if they stick to them the gravei be washed away all around them, leaving their lots sticking up llke sore fingers and worthless. Mr. Eidridge will bhave charge of the operations, and he says that the ditches Il be enlarged and 1wo-inch giants will be put 1nto operation. Electric lights will be putin and operations will be kevtup twenty-four hours a day. For working most of the low-bench hydraulic elevators will be used to carry the material up to siuices elevated high enough to secure the re- quired fall. The debtris will go to the mver, and it has been necessary to buy | 1500 acres of lana that will be covered or damaged thereby. It is the title to some of these lands on which alone the deal waits, Operations on the new scale will begin in the spring. This region has long been anxiously waiting for the capital which it has always been expected would taks hold of tne proverty on a large scale. It is estimuted that the grave! cannot all be sluiced in fifty years. The hydraulic mine, which embraces a mile of Morrison Gulek, on Coffee Creek, is expected soon to be sold to people who will develop it, and next spring the Trinity gold placer-mining syndicate, wh ch 1s composed of English capitalis's and whick owns seven miles of the upper bed of Coffee Creek, will be ready 'or extensive operations, W. D. English eams in with the rush last n'gtit and will divide his time between catching trout and investigating the min- ing region, We hear that 200 Coftee Creekers got off the train eddinglast nightand a great rush is exg d to-morrow. Letters of inquiry continued to pour in on the postmasier and others, and many come from all over the East, where the Trinity County fever seemsto have be- come quite general. They come from Cnicigo, West Virginia and elsewhere, and quite 2 number of Easterners have reacbed Coffee Creek already. People here are waiting with considera- ble curio-ity to see E. T. Casey and the other boomers get Uoffeeville started and whooped into a townsite boom, and they will probably see and hear somethiug quickly, for Mr. Casey has gone to the city to muke Coffeeville with a hurrah. Special and regulsr stages roll into Lrinity Center loaded every night, and the procession of wagons, packhorses and transfers bound for Coffee Creek preserves the rate of fifty a day. Quartz ledges of unknown or no value are found every day, while once in a while one of rich suriace indications is, but most of the Coffee Creek stories heard outside are fairy tales. J. 0. DENNY. e PUURING OUT OF EEDDIAG. No Cessyfion of the Exodus for the New “old Fields. REDDING, CaL, Aug. 25.—There has beern a perceptible decrease in the excite- ment over the Coffee Creek gold digeings | to-day, but nevertheiess the usual number of prospectors have made their departures for the new fields. A large band.wagon | with a load of supplies and twelve pros- pectors is being fitted out to-night and will start early in the morning for Coffee and Hickory creeks. Abont 100 prospectors all told arrived here from the south to-day, bound for the new Klondike. No reports of new finds have been reported to-day, bat the pros- pectors at present here are just as eager to go to the new country. Three young men from Oakland arrived this afternoon on bicycles heavily losded with prospectors’ and hunters’ outfits. They go on to-morrow by wheel. S. W. Hammond and party returned from Coffee Creek to-nicht. They report no new finds made during the past two days, but say the hills are covered with people and camps ara located on every available spot. Wills & Ritter have established a new stage line, and the first trip will be made to-morrow. The route will be from Red- ding direct to Coffeyville. This route is twenty miles shorter than the route from Gazelle, and a great deal better than the rough mountain trail or wood road out of Delta. PO FOVRE 4#ICH STRIKE NEAR DUNSMUIE. People Wildly Eweited and a Ruch Is Made for Soda Creek. DuUNSMUIR, CAL, Aug. 25.—A rich pocket of gold was discovered five miles northeast of Dunsmuir yesterday. The pocket contained $2000 in nuggets and fine gold, and there is said to be as much more in sight. The largest nugget is worth about $300. The find was on the claim of J. L. McCarter on Eoda Creek. The claim has not veen worked long, and Dunsmuir has gone wild over the find. A large crowd of prospectors went out to-day. Assoon as the news was verified by Mr. McCarter bringine in the gold, which was placed on exhibition in the window of Wells-Fargo & Co.'s express of- fice, photographs were taken of Mr. Mc- Carter and his rich find, and the street in front of the express office was crowded with people ali day. This is one of the largest finds ever made in this vicinity, and will have the effect of sending a good many ot our peo- ple up on Soda Creek prospecting. Mr. McCarter is a modest, unassuming man, who has had years of experience in mines 2nd mining, ana he asserts thers are jnst as rich finJs to be made all around him as the one he so fortunately struck. The territory surrounding him kas besn prospected but very little, and crowds will soon flock in on Soda Creek as they have been doing on Coffee Creek, and there | is no reason to doubt that numerous other strikes wili soon b: reported. The gold will be shipped to the Mint at S8an Fran- cizco in a few days. -— Off for Trinity. SANTA ROSA, Can, Aug. 25.—Frank Leppo, Stanley Meyers, Henry Forsyth, Frank Doyle and Ed Walk have gone to | Trinity County to discover gold. They will search for pockets as rich as that dis- covered by the Graves brothers. There are plenty of Sonoma men in Trinity at present. 0. K. Westcott went there when { the boom came and Cuarles Ford left last week. Saturday last G. W. Bryant and son, J. T. Studdert, Fred Walker, R. A. Adams, M. Jacommine, O. M. Campbell, F. Towne, A. P. Williams and J. Peters of Petaluma started. Among the Sonoma men who bave gone there are: Gus Corne- lius, Walter Murphy, J. P. Kay, Frank and Al Weaver. Bound for Trinity. BERKELEY, Can, Aug. 25.—A party of about fifteen Berkeley citizens will leave for Trinity rold fields next Satur- day, They will go in three companies, each having a wagon loaded with neces- sary mining equipment. Among the num- Ler are several experienced miners. Those who have definitely decided to go include T. McNamara, Chatles Hadding Jr., George Burns, William Acheson, George Bailey, Charles Rooney, George Rogers, D. Balgham and Harry Thompson. — - St. Helena People Going. ST. HELENA, CaL., Aug. 25.—The gold fever has had a revival in St. Helena and many may soon leave for the gold fields in Trinity County. Dan E.

The Deed Believed to Have Been Incited by Political Antagonisms. NO SURPRISE MANIFESTED AT WASHINGTON. It Was the Second Attempt on the Life of Borda Within Four Months. MONTEVIDEO, UruGuay, Aug. 25.— During s national iete which was held here to-day President J. Idiarte Borda was shot and kilied by an assassin. Senhor Borda was elected President of Uruguay for the term extending from March 1, 1894, 1o 1898, The fete at which he was assassinated force the crowa back. The soldiers a tacked the crowd with bayonets, finally drove it back after many had been wounded and severai killed. The President, still breathing feebly, 1o the city palace, where he died in a few minutes. The body was then wrapped in the flag of Urugnay and removed to his late home. ‘When shot down the President was on his way to review a body of troops, which would have cloted the exercises of the day proper. Great excitement was caused all over the citly by the assassination. Jose Cuestas, presidest of the Senate, was nominated for President ad interim by the Chamber of Deputies later in thel afternoon. He immediately dismissed ail the members of the Cabinet except Gen- eral Louis Perez, who will continue at the head of the War Department. At the time of Senhor Borda’s election he belonged to the official party, and was elected by a very narrow majority. The people, it was said, were sadly disappointed at the resulty, but order and gquiet was maintained. The lexding papers of Uruguay deplored the election of Senhor Borda, and declared that it marked a re- action in the country’s progress. Later President Borda issued a proclam- ation to the effect that his administration would conduct the business of the State in the interest of ihe whole Nation, and that he would invite the assistance of all political parties to that end. This proc- lamation made a very favorable impres. sion. s An attempt was made to assassinate the President on the afternoon of April 21 last. An unknown man met President Borda on the street and shet at him. The President escaped without injury and the criminal was captured. On that occasion the President, accom- panied by his aid, Lieutenant-Colonel | Turrene, bad been horseback riding. Just | as he dismounted in front of the Govern- ment palace a youth approacbed him and drew a pistol. Lieutenant-Colonel Turrene struck up the arm of the would-be assass n +nd the ball passed over the President’s head. Another attempt to assassinate him was made on May 20, when he received a bomb 7507 75 2 SENHOR DON JUAN IDIARTE BORDA, President of Uruguay, the Latest Victim of an Assassin. was being held in celebration of the inde- pendence of Uruaguay, which was achieved on August 25, 18%5. The crime was committed just a few minutes after the President left the cathe- dral, where he had listened to the Te Deum sung on the occasion of the anniversary of the indep=ndence of Uru-uay. Following the assassination, and while the imwmediate members of the Presi- dent’s official family were still bending over him where he had fallen, there was a forward movement of the crewd which had gaihered, and in order to protect the dying President his military escort at- tacked the crowd and succeeded in driving it back only after many persons had been wounded and several killed.

Now that Urnguay's chief is dead he iscaim and declares that he is content with his action. Arredondo, who is now in prison under close guard, declares that his crime was not inspired by anything more than a personal hatred for the President. He had, he said, no accomplices and is willing to take upon himseif all the con- sequences of the deed. Montevideo was in gala attire to-day in celebration of the independence ot Uru- guay, which was proclaimed on August 25, 1825. The day, according to the pro- gramme which had been mapped out, was one replete with festivities and feasts. Of the official ceremonies the singing of the Te Deum was the most impressive. President Borda bad gone to the cathe- dral attended by a military escort, the members of his Cabinet and diplomatic representatives from other countries. His party started to leave the cathedral about fifteen minutes aiter 3 o’clock. Hundreds had gathered in front of the cathedral apd the President was well re- ceived as be passed out the door. He had walked only 2 few steps when Arredondo stepped forward out of the crowd aund raised a pistol before any one cou!d stop he bad fired two shots at the President. The first builet went wild, but the sec- ond struck President Borda in the left breast. He feil backward into the arms of Bishop Soler and sank to the ground. For an instant there was an awful lence, then & frightful uproar. The crowd poured forward with cries and shouts and whaile Arredondo was seized by several soidiers the other troops were thrown into line to keep the crowd from trampling on the prostrate b dy of the Presiuent, Sharp eriesof “order” from the oflicers were unheeded, and as the crowd contin- ued to push and struggle the officers, im- pelled by the belief that the lives of other officials were in danger, gave an order to sent to him from La Plata, Argentine. It was in a box and so arranged that it would explode, but the box was turned over to the police and destroyed. S NOT A SUKPRISE. This Was the Second Attempt on the Life of Borda. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 25.—The assassination of President Idiarte Borda of Uruguay was not altogether a surprise to officials here who have watched the re- cent outbreaks in Uruguay. This was the second attempt on the President’s life, the former being maade by a crazy student named Revecca. After it failed, the United States Minister made a personal call on President Borda to con- vey the congratulations of President Mc- Kinley on the former's escape, The last mail advices received here show that the revolution had broken out afresh, the peace delegates from the insurgents hav- ing given up the hope of securing peace and withdrawn to the Argentine Republic. Further agitation was occasioned by the reports that the Government’s receints had sirunk $1,600,000 during the year, as aresult of the revolution. The last issue of the Montevideo Times received here states that tne President re- mained away from the Statehouse in evi- dent fear of his life. At the same timea ‘‘coiorado,”” or junta, of those seeking to overthrow the Government had esiab- lished active operations at the Capitol. The assa:sination of the President aoubt- less will bring the country to a revolu- tionary crisis which has long b-en pend- ingz. The revolution thus far has been in country districts, where several extensive engagements had been fought, the govern- ing forces securing the advantage.

PRETORIA, £oUTH AFRICA, Aug. 25.— At a meeting of the Volkraadt to-day President Kruger delivered a speech which is likely to cause the greatest excitement in Great Britam. He said that the rela- tions between Great Britain and the South African Republic are regulated by the con- vention of 1884. He added that 1n the convention oi November, 1881, a reference to the suzerainty of Great Britain diu appear, but that in the next convention of 1884 not a single word appeared bearing precisely upon that point, and since then h inty had ceased to exist. utinued, did not do away with the fact thatjthe Soutn African Repubiic and the whole nauon recognized the con- vention and would endeavor io maintain it entirely, but they could not recognize the sugerainty of Great Britain, because AUGUST 26, 1897. it was entirely opposed to that convention and | They wished to maintain a friendly rela- tionship with the whole world, and in this way race hatred would gradally disappear.

The hulers of France and Fussia Toast the Troops of the i Empire. 8T. PETERSBURG, Russia, Aug. 25.— The Czar, Czarina and President Faure and their respective suites witnessed a march past of 50,000 troops at the Krasnoe | Seloe camp to-day. The spectacle was most imposing. As the Imperial Guard passed the siand the Czar cried, “Thank you, my men!"” In the morch past Prince Napoleon led the lancers, himself galloping to the front of the imp:rial party, saluting witn saber and bowing low. At the conclusion of the march pasta military batloon ascended, bearing the inscription “Vive la France, 1897.”" The end of the spectacle was somewbat marred by a heavy shower. At the luncheon which followed Presi- dent Faure toasted the Czar and Czarina and the Russian army, to which, he addea, he brought the greetings of its French comrades. The Czar replied by toasting **Our Com- rades of the Valiant French Army.”’ Both toasts were honored standing and the “Marseillaise” and the Russiun hymn were played. I'nis evening the Emperor gave a ban- quet to M. Faure, with a special invita- tion to the officers of the French squad- rod. M. Faure toasted the Russian navy and the Czar the French navy. LONDON, ExG., Aug. 26.—The special correspondent of the Times at St. Peters- burgsays: The Franco-Russian frenzy during the last few days would be impos- sible to describe in a telegram. The berths of the ofticers on the French warship Pothuau were fi.led with flowers to-day (Wednesday) by the Russian ladies. The sailors from the Suncouf, which lies in the Neva, were carried on the shoulders of the Russians through the streets. On Thursday night 200 French officers and 600 sailors were kept going continuously from fete to fete. The mobs along the quays and at other points of special interest gave the scene such a wild and disorderly aspect, that many people who had gone to look at the illuminations turned back to their homes. It is reported that six persons were tram- pled to death while M. Faure was being driven from the French embassy to the railway station. —_———— MINS CISNEKOS OFFENSE, Spanish Minister de Lome Writes to Mrs. Jdefferson Davi NEW YORK, N.

Promised Railroad Connection With New Japanese Steamship Line, Forming a Trans-Oceanic Link. CHICAGO, IuL, Aug. 25.—The Inter Ocean will to-morrow print the following details of an immen-e railroad combina- tion. A railroad deal of far more importance than the famous Northwestern-Union Pacific alliance is on the verge of consum- mation. For weeks past the decided and unac- countable advance in securities of tne Chicago and Great Western Railway on TLondon, Amsterdam, Paris and New York exchanges has been the cause of comment in the entire speculative world. Within the last twenty-four hours the cause of this tremendous advance has be- come public property. The J. P. Morgan interests, which is now in full control of the Northern Pacific, and the James T, Hil! party, which owns the Great North- ern Railway syvstem, are now 1n possession of options representing the controlling in- terests in the Chicago and Great Western Reilway. 1t is proposed by the owners of the Nortnern Pacific and Great Northern properties to create an absolute monopoly of the entire trapsportation and traffic of Northern Minnesoia, North Dakota and Montana; only the productive part of Idaho, all the new State of Washington, with its magnificent resources, and the to-be mighty cities on Puget Sound, and of the greater part of Oregon. In this mighty empire the Northern Pacific and Great Northern interests know but one competitor, and thaiat but one oint—the Southern Pacific Company at gortllnd, Or. It 1s proposed by securing control of the Chicago and Great Western to give North- ern Pacific and Great Northern combina- tion its own lines from St. Paul to Chi- cago. All of the trpfficof the Great Northern and Northern Pac.fic, woich moves via Chicago, is to be tnrown to the Chicago and Great Western Railway. This combinaiion practically shuts out of the Northwestern empire the Milwau- kee and St. Paul, the Burlington, the Rock Island, Chicago and Northwestern and the Wisconsin Central, except at such poinis as those systems actually reach with their own lines. It is proposed by the new combination to make an atiempt to control trans- Paciiic carrying trade by meansof an air- tight alliance slreadv perfected and in operation with the N'ppun Yusen Kaisha or Japan Mail Steamsuip Company, which bas .he largest fleetand the second largest tonnage rating of any steamship company in the world. In joining this tremendous alliance the Nippon Yusen Kaisha Steamship Com- papy brings to its partners an absolute monopoly of the interior and coasiing irade of Japan and China, and also places in their service this summer the connect- ing lines of steamers to compete for Indian, Australian, Hawaiian and North- ern Asia points, with the object of direct- ing to the United States route the Eng- lisn and Continental Europeaun traffic for Indian and Asiatic points which has here- to:ore gone via Cape Town or Suez canal routes. This enormous deal, which concentrates world-wide traffic on rails of the Chicago- Great Western and threatens to render useless the 8t. Paul and Chicago lines of the five great companies which are shut out, is being closed. up this week at a con- ference in New York beiween representa- tives of the Deutsche Bank of Beriin. J. P. Morgan & Co., J. J. Hill and others are tue owners of the Chicago-Great Western. GRIEF DROVE TALLANT MAD A San Francisco Banker Now in a Sanitarium Near Chicago. Death of a Son and His Wife’s Absence in Europs the Supposed Cause. A Raving Manlac on the Train He Attempts to Injure Pessengers. Friends Are Caring for Him. CHICAGO, IrL, Aug. 25.—John D. Tal- lant, the president of the Taliant Banking Company of San Francisco, is confined in the East Chicago-avenue station, a raving maniac. Locked in a compartment of one of the cars of the overiand limited train, which arrived at the Northwestern depot at 8:30 o'clock this morning, the demented banker paced to and froin the greatest excitement, occasionally throwing him- self against the walls of the carand ery- ing outin mental agony until the train slowed up, when he was removed to a walting patrol wagon and taken to the station. During his compulsory ride the bank president was held struggling on the floor of the wagon, tie strong arms of two po- lice officars being required to prevent him from escaping. Constantly endeavoring to tear himself loose from the grasp of the officers he was carried to a cell in the sta- tion-house, where, exhausted from his efforts, he lay on the floor. mumbling in- coherently about the eiforts he imagined were being made to advertise bim asa notorious criminal. On Saturday evening the California banker leit San Francisco for a vacation in Europe. He was to meet his wife in Paris, and the two expected to spend the antumn monthsin a tour of theC ontinent. On Sunday morning, af er the train had progressed far on its journey acrossthe moantains, Tallant began to act queerly. He would stare blankiy into space for hours at a time, refusing his meals when they were offered to him. Occasionally he would twitch nervously and start in his seat. His fellow passengers were alarmed by bis peculiar actions, and notified the con- ductor. It was decided to keep a close watch on the man, but it was not expected that he would become dangerous. This siate of affuirs continued for three dayss When questioned as to his health, Tailant would vouchsafe a curt reply to the effect that he feit well. He was very taciturn in his manner, occasionally bor- dering on 1ncivility, when some service was offered bim. Yesterday, scon after the train pulled out of Council Bluifs, lowa, tha passengers in the coach where Tallant was seated were alarmed by the fact that he was mut- tering loudly. Suddenly he drew a §20 gold piece from his pocket and threw it with great force at his nearestneighbor. This was foilowed by a volley of gold coin, which was huried at the fleeing passengers. Tallant pulled a revolver and flourished it when he was approached by the train- bands. Waving his weavon the man started ranning down the aisle of the car. Suddenly he drew his watch from his pocket and threw it at the persons who were crowding each other to gain exit through the coach door. The few still in the car expected mo- mentarily that the manias would pull the wrigger of the pistol, which was leveled in their direction. However, he did not fire his revolver. He would stoop and pick up his watech and throw it again anda again against the now closed door, which kept him from foilowing the men and women whom he had chased from the car. Suddenly, while he was bending to again pick up his timepiece, his arms were seized from behind, and he was thrown struggling to the floor. Conductor F. H. Clark had silently stepped down the aisle from the other end of the coach and leaped on the maniac. The conductor was followed by a brakeman and two passen- gers, and the four succeeded in disarming -| the unfortunate man and confining him in an apartment, The trainmen searched Tallant and found on his person two razors and $533 in coin. Five $20 gold pieces which he had cast at the passengers were also re- covered. Mr. Tallant is about 45 years old, and impresses one as being a Vigorous, pros- perous man of business. After the strain of experience through which he had just passed he is physically exhausted. Deep, dark rings are about his eyes, and his face wears a blank, tired expression. he has recovered sufficiently to warrant his removal ne will be taken to the deten- tion hospital until he recovers or his friends advise the authorities. The im- pression is that Mr. Tallant’s attack is only temporary and is probably the out- come of too close application to business. Tallant’s condition grew worse as the day progre: He became very violent and a constant watch had to be kept to prevent him from harming himself. Ar- rangements hava been completed for his removal to the Detention Hospital. Itis probable the bankers of this city will have him placed in a private asylum. Dr. Frank 8. Churchill of 850 Division streot called at the station for a hurried examination ofa prisoner. He announced he had been sent by a bauker, but did not give the name. The demented banker became worse in the afternoon and aconstant watch had to be kept to prevent him from harming himself. At 2:30 o’clock a dispatch was received from San Francico by O. A. Tinkham, cashierof the National Bank of Anmerica, directing him 10 take charge of Mr. Tallant, and stating that arrange- ments had beer. mude for his removal to Lake Geneva, Wis. Friends of the banker have also received dispatches from San Francisco and will see that he receives the best of attention until the arrival of his friends, which will be at an early date. At3 o'clock an ambulance arrived and preparations were made to take him to the depot. Mr. Tallant was seated at his desk in the turnkey’s office busily engaged in scribbling notes, wuich irom time to time be folded and handed to some one to de- liver at once. He was humored for a while, but refused to leave the siation. : “Do you think I want to go un there and let tiem cut my head off?" he shouted, at the same time wildly waving his arms. When assured that’ no one woul ! herm him he said: “Yes they will. They said they would.” He was finally induced to go to where the ambulance was in waiting. Here the crazed tanker created another scene. He fought desperately, striking right and left with clenched hands. After a time, how- ever, he was forced into d vehicle, Dur- ing the ride to the depot Mr. Tailant had to be held by the ofiicers. He evidently labors under the delusion that sore one is following him, threatening him with all manner of things. The Tallant banking-house was estao- lished by the late D. J.

He was in good health when he leit here, but signs of grief for the death of bis 10-year-old boy, which occurred about six months ago, were nerceptible. Brooke Wright, son of the late Selden S. Wright and brother of Mr« John D. Tallant, left this city last evening for Chicago to attend Mr. Tallant. The latest advices received by friends last night were to the effect that Mr. Tallant's con- dition was much improved. There is not the slightest strain of insanity ir the Tal- lant family, and the presumption is that the mental distress of *Jobn D. Tallant was due to causes which a skilled physi- cian may soon comprehend. 1tisthought that a few days of perfect tranquillity and Teposein an atmosphere not overheated will restore the patient to his normal con- dition of mental responsibilitv.

It was planned to have him detained at Omaha and there placed under proper re- stiraint, but the instructions by wire did not reach the proper parties uniil che train had left Council Bluffs, From a reading of the dispatches from Chicago one might infer that John Tallant is a man of gigantic frame and enormous physical strength. The fact is that he is not more than five feet six inches high and dees not weigh more than 150 pounds. Since his family went abroad he has resided at the Bohemian Club and is known to his club companions as a quiet, thoughtful man of excellent business attainmente. His relatives and friends received the news of his demented condition with surprise and regret, but they surmise that the attack was caused by loss of sleep, the hot weatuer of the plains and some derangement of the stomach. They are confiient that he will soon be restored to his usual health of mind and body. Mr. Tallant is a young man, not more than 40 years of age. dyrest of @ Mayor for Law Breaking.
