Branton left his cell at 10:45, and walking upon the scaffold unassisted he took his place upon the trap. He asked the people present not to bear any ill will against atives on his account. The trap rung at 10:50. Fifteen minutes later the body was cut down. The crime for which Claude Branton paid the penalty of death was the tak- ing of the life of John Linn, a stock- man of Condon, Gilliam County. April, 1888, Branton and Courtlan: Green, who is now serving a life sen- tence in the penitent for complic- ity in the crime, left their homes near Walterville, Lane County. to go to Eastern Oregon to work.

Clancy shot and killed Henry Welsh at Ro- land’s blacksmith ship on San Pablo Creek last night at 10 o’clock Both | men had been drinking very heavily | all the evening. They became engaged in an altercation over some trivial mat- ter. Welsh became very much excited and drew a knife on Clancy, who tried | to escape from the building, but Welsh jumped into the doorway and prevented his retreat.

LOS ANGELES, May 12.—Bishop Mont- head of the C California, de ires payment of claim | city from the estate of William McDer- mott, who was proprietor of the Fashion livery stable and died a year ago, leav- ing an estate valued at $500. Bishop Montgomery's claim is for a dead man's grave in the Catholic cemeter: Mrs. Carrle McDermott, special admin- istratrix, filed a supplementary account- ing of receipts and disbursements. The valued at $5000, now has a balance of $32 to its credit. The widow says the funds have been handled by At- torney Albert J. Sherer. Of the §75 month- ly allowance awarded by the Probate Court she says she received barely $200 in a year. She testified that she could ob- tain from the estate barely enough to live o year ago wa n, A short time ago the livery stable w sold for $1900. Of this sum the $32 re ferred to now remains. Mrs. McDermott says Sherer, who handled the funds, told her that the money went for the depts and expenses of the livery stable. Attorney Zach Montgomery, represent- ing Bishop Montgomery, this morning filed in the Superior Court a sensational at- tack upon the report of the speclal admin- istrator. Bishop Montgomery’s objections to the account are based on the grounds first, that the money alleged to have been paid out on various items was never paid at all—that the account is false. Mrs. Mary E. Murdock, sister of the de- ceased, in the spring of 1898 filed a con- test to the probate of Willlam McDer- mott's will, alleging that Mrs. Carrie Mc- Dermott was not in fact the legal wife of William McDermott. She alleged that | at the time of her marriage to McDer- Imott she had another husband living. This contest is yet to be heard. - DEFAULTER CROSBY IS CAUGHT IN WYOMING BAKERSFIELD, May 12.—Sheriff Borg- wardt has received a message from Raw- ling, Wyo., stating that the authorities there have captured J.

PARIS, May .—At a sitting of the Cabinet Council in the palace of the Elysee to-day, the President, M. Loubet, on the suggestion of the Minister of War, M. Camille Krantz, signed a decree cen- suring Major Cuignet on account of his having divulged to the Petit Journal the contents of certain letters. In the Chamber of Deputies to-day M. | Rene Viviani, Radical Socialist, ques- ned the Government regarding the let- ters published in the Petit Journal. In reply M. Krantz said M. Cuignet came voluntarily to him and confessed he gave the letters to a friend, who had communicated them to the Petit Journal M. del Casse, Minister of Foreign Af- irs, said the letters as published were garbled and mutilated. Among mingled cheers and hi: his own position in the matter, and s serted that Major Cuignet, as a member faith of the Foreign Office in certain mat- ters. He (M. del Casse) therefore wrote | to M. de Freycinet, the then Minister of War, asking apologies for the War Of- fice and showing that Major Cuignet's ac- tions were unfounded. impression gained from M. del e's speech was that M. de Freycinet resigred the war portfolio instead of making reparation.

WARDNER PRISONERS ARE BADLY TREATED SALT LAKE,Utah, May 12.—The West- ern Labor Union and the Federation of Western Miners held meetings to-day at 10 a. m, and 2 p. m. No business of public importance was transacted. The labor union is still working on constitution and by-laws and is not nearly through with this subject. In the miners’ meeting the committee on by-laws completed its report, which was adopted. e committee on griev- ances recommended changes in the card system so that the back of the card should show how much each holder had paid to his union; that is, it should indi- cate his standing.

He says the condition of the prisoners is deplor- | court and officers continue in power. This case is brought to settle the point. To-morrow an order of Judge Mayhew for a special term of the District Court to convene on May 29 will be published.
