News. - Helena, Mjnt., Sepf.. 27. There was startling new developments in the $5o.ooo Northern Pacific dyna mite plot today, in that it1 became known that Thomas Travis, Chief ol Police of this city-, had received an ultimatum from the conspira tors ordering the immediate' relief of two men who are confided in the city jail on the charge of having at tempted ! to dynamite the North ern Pacific bridge at Livingston; a few day h after tbe firatjj ultimatum was delivered to the railroad' com pany. A". "K-- v. ' ' - The city officials ' have a strong case connecting these men with the crime, ah hough the evidence T is firincipally " circumstantial. The notice received by the Helena po lice is to the effect that if the men are not released 'by Monday 'noon the jail will be blown'up with dy nimatei This letter is said to have the same origin as those sent' to the Northern Pacific demanding $5o,o oo or otherwise it would "be put out of business in Montana. ' All of the letters sent to the rail road company were mailed at cither Helena or Butte, and the one recei ved by Chief Travis is postmarked at Helena. It was learned today that the Northern, Pacific was given until October 4th next to comply with the demands of the - condpira tors...... .:. ' Another gang of men left here today to saarch for the ton of dyna mite stolen from a local warehouse a week ago. ' Owing to its danger ous nature it is not. thought the thieves carried it a very great die tance, and thatJt is proving their source of '-. supply : for- the various outrages against the railroad's property adrniti of no doubt. Helena, Mont, Sept 27.- It has developed that the recent attempts to dy oanjite bridges and track on the line of the Northern Pacific between Livingston and Missoula are in futherance of a plot ; to force the railway company to pay $5a,o 01 for immunity from. the outrages. In'Augost last ihe company re ceibed a letter demanding 25,000 and it was tbTeatened that . if the terms proposed to were not. agreedVt to dynamite would be ussd on the line, No attention was paid to the demaod, abd shortly afterward; the railroad bridge at-Livingstone was partially "wrecked by dynamit?, and a few nights afterward another stick" of dynamite was exploded near Bozeman under" the passing jtrain, Other letters folfowed ;'.a'n'd,'.! the dynamiters proposed that the com pany pay $5o,ooo and-if it "acceded 10 toe demand it was to cirry a white flag on i en?ine3 ; carrying trains and September 22 was to run a light engine, from utte to Missoula, and at a point of the road it was to stop on signal, and. an agent of the company was to ; pay over the motey. - The company,, hoping to , catch the men, put out the white flags and on the night agreed upon ran the light engine pulling two cars. One was filled with armed' sheriffs and deputies and the other " con tained horses and bloodhounds, The run was made from Butte to Mis soula, but there was no signal, and it was thought the men had . been scared off. .' . - - Soon after the letters", began " to arrive again, the dynamiters mak ing the same demand and telling the railroad if it agreed to the terms t6 put the . flag on the engines. This the - railroad company has done and in the past two weeks thera have been four attempts' to damage ihe line by theuse of dyna mite.. One of the attempts to blow up the train took place in the railroad yards in the city 'last Monday night. This was followed . a few nights later by explosions on the track near Elliston and Blossburg. Within the past ten days a powder magazine belonging to the 'Holler Hardware Company, of this jcity, and Jocated on toe outskirts of the town? waa broken - into and 2150 pounds of dynamite 'stolen. This powder his not been found and -it is believed that it wss taken for the purpose of being used against the Northern Pacific. f - Th only effect these' recent out rages have had has been: to make the cr mpany redouble its efforts to catch Uhe perpetrators and to pro tect the line:' The scenes of the out rages have been eo tar between Liv ingston and Miesoula and between Butte and Garrison. The wrecking ot a ttreet-car in , Butte about a week ago is believed 10 have been the work of the same ' gang, the idea beiEg that they intended the explosive for the Northern Pacific track and got it on the street-car by mistake." , " All along the line of the railway; there are now ' hundreds of guards night iand day. Every mile of the track is patrolled by armed men, bridges are carefuily watched, tun nels guarded and the point-is left without a patrol.-2' In addition to tbe new men who have been 1 put out, all section men, trainmen and others connected with the road, ma ny of whom are heavily armed, have been Instructed to keep careful' watch of all strangers found along the lini of the road and report their present? immediately. V While it is not known- that ' all letlers received from the dynamit ers have bjen mailed from Helena and Butte, it is sure ihat some of them Wert.. The railroad . people will not; talk about the letters, though' not denying that they have been received, but they refuse to di vulge anything asj to where :. they are ce marked.- It is known that the first missive came from Helena and Butte.5 The plotteis appear to have their headquarters in either Butte or Helena and must be well acquainted with tbe country be tween Missoula and Livingstone as despit t be failure" of their first at tempi'4xtortiioQey;itb:jltiay continued operations in the, same territory. . s . , So far there have been three ar rests of suspects in connection with outrages. Two were made by tbe Helena department and the men are still in jail. , It is alleged that dy namite, fuse and caps were found in their possession, and that they were teen at Livingtone and Bozemaa just preceding the explosions at those places. Even if it should prove that these men have a connotion with tbe af fair, it is certain that there are oth ers because since their arrest the outrages have - continued. .. The other man .was arrested Fridaj morning, near Elliston but it is not now thought he is concerned in the outrages. ,. J . .rv Cleveland, Sept., 27. C. K, G. Billings, owner of Lou Dillon, has announced that she will not be al lowed to go into a contest with . a nother horse in a trial for suprem acy. 5 Mr. Billings ays , that Lou Dillon is only five years old and comparatively . inexperienced and untrained. The mrre will be shipped .with the -other member ; of . the . Billings etring to Lexington, on Wednesday where she has two engagements. After the Lexington meeting1 Lou D llori will be shipped to Memphis, where she is scheduled to go agaim-t the world's trotting record, a trial against time, which will probably be her last for this season. .

TILLMAN'S TRIAL HE IS CONFIDENT THAT THE JURY WILL ACQUIT HIM. Prosecuting Attorney Thurmond Was Once ? Djfended by Till man lor the Same Crime - Other News. i Lexingioo, S. C-., Sept. 20. Jas. H. Tillman,- who, while lieutenant governor of South Carolina, killed N. G.j Gonzales, editor of the - Co lumbia State, will be called on to plead to an indictment for murder when Judge Gary' opens court here tomorrow. -'...';vr.: Although it is highly improbable that tbe actual trial of the case will begin before Wednesday or Thursday all of Tillman's counsel are here. They came over Saturday and to day, bringing with them quantities of law books. - - Tillman professes to be very con fident of acquittal, and his confi dence Is apparently shared ' by his counsel and by many: people of the county. While; every one here is not a Tillman sympathizer,' those who feel iriendly toward him pre- dominate. . "Tbe peopl? of Lexington ' are a merciful people and 1 seldom " con vict," said one of the leading coun sel for Tillman tonight; .; A peculiar coincidence - in this case is that the prosecuting attor ney,' J. William Thurmond,! who will prosecute Iillman,' ODce killed a man by the name of -Harris and was defended by Tillman, who was at that time a member of the law firm of Tillman & Croft. He appear ed as the leading counsel for Mr. Thurmond. .. I Interest in the coming trial is so great that practically .every South' ernk newspaper of prominence nas More than five hundred witnes ees have been summoned, and these with . the Ti lman sympathizers, court officials, attorneys and news paper correspondents more than e- qual the whole population of the little town.". On Lexington's one street are the courthcuse,5 jail, hotel, stores ad residences. The jail, a substantial brick structure, is directly opposite the courthouse. Diagonally across from the jail id the single hotel, at which are. staying the judge, the counsel for the defense and tbe pros ecution. All mingle together, aDd apparently the best of good feeling prevails. But those who know the men who will respectively prosecute and defend Tillman predict that this harmony will not prevail after the tiial begins. - The hotel, which has hardly the rtquisite rojms either in size or number to secure a license under the Raines law in New York, is so crowded that six persons are sleep ing in one room. Conditions will be much worse tomorrow when the witnesses and others arrive. Senator Ben R, Tillman, uncle of trie accused man, passed through on his way to Columbia tuday, but he will return tomorrow when his nephew is to be called on, to plead and will stay here ; throughout the trial. -' ;"' James H. Tillman refused to see any one today except his counsel. In response to a note Mr. Tillman sent the following: ' "I have no Ftatement to make at this time. JAS H. TILLMAN." Many of Tillman's relatives are here, and will remain until after the trial. . , Chicago. Sept. 26.

The pro gramme prepared by the executive committee contains special features for each day, and a great number of visitors is anticipated. The In dian Bhow at Lincoln park, where six tribes of Indians - will live as their ancestors lived, was the center of great interest, the most prominent feature being the presence among tbe representatives of the six tribes of Charles Pokagon, descendant of the Chief Pokagon, who once ruled the district of Chicago; tvK -';r " The spectacular event of the pro gramme will come tonight, when tons of fireworks will be burned on 28 corners within the elevated loop, . typifying the burning of the city In 1871.

Lincoln, Neb., Sapt. 26. It de veloped today that an attempt was. made last nght to kidnap the 8-year-old daughter of Governor Mickey. While four of the gover nor's children were playing in front of the mansion an unknown man came along and tried to carry ' the oldest girl away. The other ) chil dren clung to his clothes and screamed: The man was so badly frightened when he saw neighbors - and ran. , ' ; , '.; , :.... .. ..
