BUTTE, Oct. 31. A special to the Miner
from Sheridan, Wyo., says: Reports o
the first brush between troops and Utes
have reached here by telephone from Bir
ney. A troop of the Tenth Cavalry
rounded up and attempted to drive oft 50
head jf ponies being grazed by the fugi
tive Indians. The herders sent the alarm
to the main band. As the soldiers were
driving the ponies away a band of 100
bucks came riding up. and. circling the
.troops, succeeded in stampeding the po
nies and recovered all but live, which
were shot by the soldiers.
The Indians did not fire, but their de
termined rescue of their poines indicates
their temper. The soldiers felt them
selves unable to cope with the force, and
the shots killing the animals were tired
as the herd was being driven away.
Suspect Scout9 of Treachery.
The Indians are outwitting the troops
now in the field. "A troop of the Tenth
Cavalry marched all Tuesday night in
hope f capturing a small band of Vtes
on Bitter Creek, arriving there only to
find the band had moved. Later a scout
reported the Indians 30 miles away. The
troops then made a forced march to Pow
der .River.
Soldiers are complaining bitterly against
the actions of the Indian scouts. American
Horse, Women's Drees and White Cow
Bull, employed by the Government. The
Indians profess not to know the country,
but the belief is growing that they are
purposely leading the troops in a fruitless
search in order to gain time.
Cheyennes and Crows Headed Off.
Another detachment of the Tenth Cav
alry met and turned back a small band
of Cheyennes under Chief Two Face. He
said t'ney wore hunting and they were
started toward the reservation. The band
of a hundred Crows under Sweet Mouth,
which hurriedly left Sheridan Monday
night, was also met and turned back by
the Tenth Cavalry.
The Indians are making forced marches
at night to elude the soldiers, and, owing
to the poor work or treachery of the
scouts, the soldiers are unable to keep
track of them.
Sioux Marcli to Join Utes.
Railroad men running into Sheridan to
nisht report having passed a band of a
hundred Siouit marching southeast within
50 miles west of Sheridan. "Neither- In
dians nor troop have arrived at Birney.
The settlers are fearful, of a Cheyenne
Uprising if the Uti reach the reserva
tion border near Ashland. Troops from
Fort Keogh and Fort Meade are con
verging on Ashland.
NO PKOSPECT OF CLASH YET
Indians Quietly Hunting; and Mov
ing North Into Montana.
OMAHA, Oct. 31. Advices received at
Army headquarters here as late as 5
o'clock this afternoon from Major Grier
son, in command of the detachment of
the Tenth Cavalry which first took the
field In pursuit of the Utes in Wyoming,
say that there is no prospect of a clash
between the troops and the Indians. The
latter are quietly hunting In the moun
tains near their camp on the Powder Riv
er. Instead of moving toward the Chey
enne reservation, as reported.
- Major Grierson expects to have a con
ference with the chiefs of the band in a
dHy or two.
A special says the Indians are traveling
northward and have already passed the
Montana state line.
Francisco. It was claimed that over 11,000
names had been turned in tonight.
The following resolutions were adopted
by the meeting:
Resolved, That this organization denounces
the false and malicious attacks upon the
municipal government and hereby calls at
tention to the fact that thee unwarranted
attacks and reports are not omly hurting the
fair name of the communttr. but are dis
couraging "eur citizens, driving away ' cap
ital, retarding the construction of build
ings and Interfering with the development
and growth of our city.
Resolved.- That we condemn wastefulness
and extravagance In the distribution of the
relief funds, and deplore the fact that such
an enormous amount of money has found its
way into the pockets of favored employes
and friends of the millionaires, who have In
charge said relief funds. Further, that we
now urgently request Rudolph Spreckles,
James Phelan and others having in charge
the distribution of the relief funds to cease
the establishment and maintenance of a
Craft system for political purposes, whereby
a large organization of favored and petted
employes is absorbing the money which
rightfully belongs to the needy and neces
sitous people of this city for food and chel-ter.
Utes at Mouth of Tongue River.
SHERIDAN, Wyo., Oct. 31. The Utes
have crossed the Wyoming line and are
apparently making for Ashland, appointed
as a meeting place with the Cheyennes.
They are going down Hanging Woman
Creek and reached its mouth, on Tongue
River today. The troops under Colonel
Augur left Sheridan today, but will be
unable to reach Bierney before tomorrow
night. Unless the Utes are headed off by
troops coming overland from Fort Keogh,

and other city and county officials, occu
pied seats on the platform.
All the speakers denounced the news
papers and declared that the present
charges and the investigation into alleged
corruption, were the results of a con
spiracy between the Spring Valley Water
Compuny and the Citizen's Alliance, to
disrupt the labor organizations and get
control of the administration. Langdon,
who was called the "Benedict Arnold of
San Francisco," and Heney, the "Man
from Arizona," were hissed and defied.

ruf was the DrinciDal SDeaker of the,
ening. He denounced the press of the
country for Its- attacks upon him and
the administration, defied Heney and
Langdon, assured his audience that he
was guiltless of the charges of graft and
that there was no proof to the contrary;
made an attack upon W. R. Hearst, whom
he declared to no longer be the friend of
the worklngman, and promised that af
ter the election he would punish those
who were assailing him. Ruef was fre

Jtt'EF'S LAWYER MAKES PLEA
Fights to Secure Grand Jury Favor
able to Boss.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 31. The In
quiry into the eligibility of the men
called to serve as grand jurors was
continued today before Superior Judge
Graham. Although the crowd in at
tendance was much smaller than on
previous days, a detail of about 40 po
licemen was present to preserve order.
Assistant District Attorney Heney
renewed his objection to George L.
Dealey. a saloonkeeper, on the ground
that his name was not on the assess
ment rolls.
S. M. Shortridge, on behalf of Abra
ham Ruef, attempted to show that
Dealey had paid taxes on personal prop
erty, but Heney contended that this
did not appear in the records' of the
Tax Collector's office, and that these
records constituted the best evidence
regarding the matter.
Extended arguments ensued, during
which It was asserted that the record
wanted had been destroyed In the great
fire.
Judge Graham decided that Dealey,
having made an effort to qualify as a
grand Juror in the early pant of the
year, was subject to the ruling made on
the testimony f S. II. Daniels yester
day, therefore he was excused from
service.
Dealey protested against the order.
He said that he had never supported
any political party. He denied being a
saloonkeeper, saying that, though he
held the lease, of a saloon, his business
was that of a real estate dealer.
After a long argument by Attorney
Shortridge on the right of the people
to challenge th jurors, consuming the
remainder of the afternoon, the court
adjourned until tomorrow at 2 o'clock.
LANGDON DEFIES THE BOSS
Refuses to Answer Questions of
Ruef's Lawyer.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 31. On the
ground that an attempt was being made
to learn the secrets of the prosecution
against the alleged grafters. District At
torney Langdon today refused to answer
certain gueations put to him by counsel
for Abraham Ruef, when summoned to
give his deposition before Notary Public
Knox. Langdon was called in the In
junction suit brought by Langdon re
straining Ruef from acting as District
Attorney, to which place he was appoint
ed when the Board of Supervisors ousted
Langdon last Thursday night. Henry
Ach, representing Ruef, endeavored to
show that Langdon had never seen the
complaint until after it was presented to
Superior Judge Seawell on Friday morn
ing. His questions also attempted to
bring out that the complaint was pre
sented to the Judge and the restraining
order issued as early as o A. M. Friday?
whereas the County Clerk's office was
not opened until 9 o'clock A. M., and the
complaint was not filed until that time.
When asked if he was familiar with the
issues of the complaint, which sots forth
that felony charges were to be presented
against Ruef, Langdon refused to answer,
and, together with his attorney. Hiram
Johnson, left the office of Notary Public
Knox.
It is the purpose of Ruef to have the
District Attorney cited for contempt for
refusing to answer the questions. Dis
trict Attorney Langdon claims he was
justified in hia position because there
was an apparent effort to learn some of
the evidence against Ruef now in Lang
don's possession.
Late In the afternoon Ruef's attorney
obtained Superior Judge Seawell's signa
ture to an order returnable Friday morn
ing, which cites Langdon to appear In
court and show cause why he should noi
be adjudged in contempt.
-The contempt proceedings' will be based
on two charges: First, that the District
Attorney refused to answer questions put
to him, and second, that he left the no
tary's before the taking of the deposition
was flmsi.ed.
HAS CONFIDENCE IX COURTS
Archbishop Jlontgomery Says He Be
lieves Honesty Will Triumph.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 31 At the com
memoration of the beatification of
the foundress . of the Sisters of Notre
Dame, at Notre Dame College, Archbishop
Montgomery, who is assisting In the
function, consented to express an opinion
of the San Francisco conditions that have
become so sensational In the last few
weeks. "I do not believe that we are worse
than other large cities, and If the out
side cities regard us so, we have our
selves to thank for It. We have beerfi
making ratiier an ugly confession of
our civic sins lately, but if the saying
proves true in this instance that 'an
open confession is good for the soul,'
we must have good times ahead of us.
"We have suffered disaster from fire
an! earthquake, but the suffering is far
more Just now In the exhibition we are
making of ourselves before the world.
Mere accusations have been so long
persistently made that the public has
a right to know the truth, and, above
all, those who are innocently so charged
have a right to public and complete
vindication. Nothing now but a thor
ough, honest Investigation can clear the
atmosphere and set us right before the
world and with ourselves. .
"I have such confidence In the courts
of California that I believe no inno
cent fnan needs fear that he will suffer
from them and no guilty man has any
Just ristht to complain.
"I believe the investigation has been
undertaken in good faith, for the best
interests of the city, and that it wil
be conducted thoroughly and honestly."

From information learned today it Is sup

Just as she followed him to this city, and
that in t ome way she has become Infat

Dupries left the city several days ago,
but before going he went to the room of
Miss Humphries by request of the pro
prietors of tho lodging-house, who had
heard her strange tale, and placed the
young woman in a hypnotic trance and
then freed her, so he claimed. Tnis act
was performed in the presence of wit
nesses to exonerate the hypnotist.
At the hospital Miss Humphries lies on
her cot and smiles and laughs at every
thing that is said or done. She seems to
be rational on niany subjects, but is In

taken charge of Miss Humphries, and she
is to be sent to the home of her sister in
