THE WALLA WALI,A LYNCHING.
Court of Inquiry .Convened at Walla
Walla.
Walla Walla, May 19. The court of
inquiry at Fort Walla Walla resumed its
hearing this morning. Some important
evidence was obtained dnrine the davT
ana it lias Drought up some knotty prob
lems. iJnptam Kichards, of the Fourth
cavalry, was placed on the stand. He
was acting adjutant at the fort at the
time of the lynching. He tried very
hard to explain satisfactorily why they
made no roll call the night before the
lynchirrg, when Captain Wint's escort
was overpowed and compelled to return,
and when the call "To arms" was
sounded he said it was done to save
time, as there was a delay in finding the
trumpeter, and.the men had all the time
necessary to return to their quarters.
He also explained for the same reason
why no roll-call was made the night of
the lynching..
Captain Richards was in town when
the lynching occurred. 'He was on
horseback, and it is believed had he'
hurried to the post at once the men en
gaged would have been known by their
absence. He says he went to the court
house when he heard the shooting,
thinking he would not be too late to pre
vent the tragedy. Then be waited to
see what violence had been done, and
when he got to the fort the men were
all in their quarters. He said the officers
at the fort had been 'doing all in their
power . to ferret out the guilty parties
and as a result eight men were in the
guard' house. He further said Colonel
Compton and himself had no' idea the
lynching would take place. No orders
wer given to inspect the gun racks after
the shooting. He said that troop H had
their pistols out at target practice that
afternoon. ' '. ' -
- The testimony of Prosecuting-Attorney
Hi. S. Blandford .is very damaging to
Colonel Compton, for if true, it clearly
shows a dereliction of duty. After the
attempted lynching on the night of the
23d, the officers - were warned that the
soldiers were coming again next night.
One source of information was from a
Mason of rank in . the garrison, who
waited to save Marshal Robinson. Ser
geant George Jaros, who was off on a
furlough, also 'warned Policemen Ames
and Morse that they would be murdered
if they did not keep away from the jail
that night. - All this was communicated
to Colonel Compton and he said he had
no -more idea that his soldiers would
sack the jail than would the members of
the Episcopal church.. He asked why
the officers did not take the prisoners to
a place of safety, and was told the sold
iers were in' town dressed -in citizens'
clothes, acting as spies. He replied that
it was not unusual for his men to go to
town, and that under a ruling of the war
department he could not call check roll
till after 11 o'clock. He was . told this
would be tod late.' "
THE GREAT EVENT.
All San Francisco Agog Over the Com
ing Mill Between Jackson and
Corbett.
San Francisco, May 19. Nothing is
discussed now in local sporting circles but
the big event of Thursday night. Bet
ting is still very slow, but there is everv
reason for believing that tomorrow both
sides will be unloading their money at a
lively rate. The ridiculous reports
circulated about the condition of both
men is cutting no figure in the betting.
Sporting men have made their choice,
and are simply trying to get the best
price for their own" nioney. Schwartz &
Co., opened last night 'with plenty of
Jackson money at $100 to $75, but the
Corbett men hold out for $100 to $70. It
was reported that Jim Wakley, who is
said to have $8000 to $10,000 to back
Corbett, had received a telegram from
the Dwyers of New York, that betting
there was $100 to $60. The Dwyers and
Wakely are considered three of the
shrewdest betting men of the country,
and the Jackson betters considered this
telegram a trick to turn the betting. At
Corbett's saloon it was announced that
there was $10,000 there to be had at $100
to $70, but it is still there. John Don
aldson was' in the city late this after
noon and only aggravated the Corbett
men by telling everybody that Corbett
was in excellent shape and ready to
enter the ring. Jim Wakley returned
from Corbett's quarters yesterday highly
impressed with the Californian's con
dition and more confident of his chances
of winning. Owing to the late hour he
postponed.his trip to Jackson's quarters
until to day.
. Italy Feels Her Defeat.
Rome, May 19. The controversy with
the United "States, growing out of the
New Orleans massacre, is playing; an
important part in national politics. It
furnishes material for opposition - and
may yet result in the overturn of the
present ministry. It is reported that
Marquis ' di Rudini avows that Signor
Corte was .' recalled from New- Orleans
because the cabinet did not approve of
his conduct. The press sharply attacks
the prime minister. .? The Refonna says
his' conduct of foreign affairs has been a
series of failures. There has been a woe
ful want of energy -in the management of
the New Orleans correspondence.--Ln
this and other instances the laxnessj of

love's Fond Hope Blasteo.
- The tender, budlike hopes of a Lewiston
youth who h is been dreaming tbe first few
winks of love's young dream are crushed,
and he sometimes thinks that be never will
recover, but we think he will.
He has been keeping a young lady in
Raymond up nights a good deal lately, and
she has ljeen reciprocating the attachment.
The only party to the affair who was not
warmly and deeply . in earnest was the
young lady's father, and for some reason
or other he didn't seem to warm up a bit
and didn't sepm to pay much attention to
it one way or the other. The Lewiston
young man has been over there; a good
deal, his disease of the heart keeping him
restless at home. Now and t hen he has
hitched np the horse of his fathcr-iu-Iaw-never-to-be
and has taken his girl out to
drive in the sober moAnlight, and by a ju
dicious care in getting the sleigh out not.o
lessly he has finally learned how to evade
suspicion and drive with one hand at the
same time. '
A large, mellow night came along and
stopped at that town very recently, and
the young man was caracoling the old
man's horse over the hills gayly. Coming
back he committed a great error. He tied
- the horse with a slip noose. The horse did
not die. . He was discovered before death
had claimed him for his own, but he was
almost moribund and the flash that had
-erstwhile been in his eye hod flashed out.
He was a depressed beast. - ,
j - The old gentleman made no charge f r
the extra kerosene, coal and wood that had
been consumed in the front parlor, but he
says that a -young man with such a danger
ous familiarity with slipknots can't bavo '
his girl, and the match Is off. Lewintou
