1N.TIIE RUSTLESS WAR
IMaMy Rercl?er Continues to da' its
i TRIAL OF JOHNSON COUNTY MEN.
Lariinie County to be the Scene of an
Intense Legal Burlesque.
I'ltlSOXEKS AUK KtATKD OVBit IT.
If the Case. Ouet Over to the Noiemjitr
term it in TUoDthl the Keu 1TII1
be Liberated.
Cheyenne, July 21. Judge 'Blake
yesterday decided on the motion for a
change of venue, and - selected Laramie
county as against Albany, in which he
lives, for the trial of forty-three men
who went into Johnson county Apriltto
annihilate the rustlers, and who did kill
two men. The judge says he is satisfied
that in his county ' the feeling of the
populace is so intense against the raid
era that it would.be necessary for them
to prove themselves innocent, instead of
having the prosecution adopt the course
of establishing the guilt of the accused.
He adds that, in -Albany county, fully
300 of the 1,200 citizens eligible for jury
service have disqualified themselves by
voting for condemnatory resolutions at
indignation meetings soon after the
rustler war. The prisoners are highly
elated over the outcome of their first
legal tilt in Cheyenne. They have many
friends who will work hard forvthem
Unless a special term is called, the case
will go over to the. November term. In
the latter event an effort will be made
to have the men liberated. Johnson is
a email county of limited resources, and
is already alarmed over the- expenses of
the prosecution. They have paid at'
tornevs fees of $10,000 so far. ' and- other
items at hand in prospect are appalling,
Cattle stealing goes on just the same,
A few days ago the o Si cere of Fremont
county went into Jackson Hole and
found 80 head of stolen cattle in a cor
ral with the brands freshly changed,
Two men in charge surrendered. "One
of the thieves was allowed to go into a
room to get his clothes. He reappeared
with a six-shooter, and sent a bullet
into the heart of one of the officers. In
the melee both outlaws escaped.
Mitchell Lewi & Staver
Co.
Mr. W. II. Mitchell, of the above firm
says: ine .Mitchell, .Lewis fc fetaver
Co. is in no way whatever affected by
the closing up of the old business of
Staver & Walker. Mitchell, Lewis &
Staver Co., in February last, purchased
the merchandise, warehouses, leases
trade contracts and good will of Mitchell
& Lewis Co.'s Portland branch, and of
Staver & Walker, the Mitchell, Lewis &
Staver .Co. succeeding to the trade of
both the old companies, but has no con
nection whatever otherwise. Our gen
eral office and salesrooms are in the New
Market blocfc, ortiand, Or., and we
will soon also occupy our new warehouse
on the Northern Pacific track, 14th and
T streets. Our branch' houses continue
to be operated as heretofore Our stock
of machinery and vehicles is complete in
every respect, and prompt attention will
be given to all orders.

Tne Homestead Cases.
"' Pittsburg, July 20. The preliminary
hearing in the case of Burgess McLuckie,
of Homestead, under arrest for partici
pation in the late mill , riot, - was held
this- morning, and the prisoner released
on $10,000 bail." Judge McGee held that
MeLuckie's offense was not murder in
the first degree, therefore was bailable.:
Counsel for the defense sought .tohave
the bail of those for whom warrants were
out fixed, saying theywquld . then sur
render themselves. The judge declined
to fix the bail, saying some of th men
wanted might be guilty of murder in the
first degree. .

Thrill int; Experiences of Four
White
Men Among Indians.
Mrs. Grace Dexter, daughter of county
clerk Croesen, sends the following nar
rative to her father. As Chas. Mellette
was once a resident of The Dalles, the
incidents will be oi local interest. It is
n the form of a dispatch' from Pierre,
South Dakota, July 10th and reads as fol
lows: "Fuller particulars of the cap
ture of a party of four, consisting of
Charles Mellette, clerk of the federal
court and a eon of Gov. Mellette ; 8. B.
Wallace, superintendent of Pierre street
railway and electric light works p Nelson
Gardner, foreman- of the Wells Moreau
rivei" horse ranch and a cow boy guard
ialUed Broncho Bob, by ' the Indian
police, were - brought here today- - by
special agent Thompson to the governor.
He is incensed at the treatment accorded
the party, and especially as they had a
safe conduct across the reservation
signed by Secretary Noble.' ' The party
started from Pierre July 2d, their dosti
being Wells' horse ranch, 150 miles
northwest.
"When the party reached the Chey
enne river on the reservation border,
where old Big Foot's hostile camp is
located, a party of ' painted savages
swooped down on them led by a uni
tormea Indian policeman, Their arms
and camp equipage were taken from
them and the prisoners were bound and
cm fined in an Indian tepee until the
next day, when they started for the
Cheyenne river agency, 100 miles away.
Mellette,- who was badly sunburned
through being several days on the
prairie, was at first taken for an Indian,
bearing a strong resemblance to a . hos
tile called Crooked Leg, but as he could
not talk Sioux the mistake was- soon
discovered, and he then was the butt of
savage jokes.
"The agency was reached after a se
vere journey ana the lour, men were
thrown in a guardhouse and stayed there
over night," along with several renegade
Indians locked up for cattle etealing.
Finally the case was brought to the at
tention of the agent, who liberated them
and they returned to Cherry creek to re
gain their wagon, hoi ses and property
The pass that Secretary Noble sent came
bv wire and was written on a- telegraph
blank. It was regarded by the Indian
police a so much useless paper, as they
knew no passes except such as are made
out on agents' letter heads. Gov. Mel
lette wired the secretary for the na6S
and had no fears that It would fail to see
the party safely across the reservation.
A big Indian congress was in session
at the agency wben the prisoners were
brought in. When their captivity was
made known to agent Frank Willibridge
he summoned . twelve .of the leading
chiefs who compose the supreme court
of the council of the. Sionx nation, and
had the prisoners brought before them
An interpreter explained who the pris
oners were, and on the information the
chiefs swelled with dignity and asked
for a pow-wow. The spokesman, Chief
Charger, said : i
The Great Father, by his treaty, has
eiven ns this,reservationr ile savs we
cart- kep all white men from coming on
it or crossing over it. It is the last land
the Sioux has left that he can call his
own. Not even the white chief, NoLie
and Mellette, can say who can come an
our lands: no, not the great lather -at
Washington, but; we want.no trouble,
We will let these four go - and will give
them the freedom of our lands." A feast
was then prepared for the late prisoners
and, according to Indian custom where
great friendship is to be evinced, Mel
lette, Wallace, Gardner and Broncho
Bob were adopted into the Sioux tribe
and let go.

Chicago, July 21. Dispatches from
Ottawa say that the notorious smuggler
and bandit Bochard stands a very fair
chance of falling into the clutches of the
customs authorities. A portion of his
contraband cargo has been captured,
and a cordon of Bwift cruisers is closing
in upon his retreat. Capt. Gordon, of
the royal navy, who has had charge of
the recent movements Of the cruisers,
received a dispatch last evening from
the Gulf, which mast put him in a very
good humor. It wag from Commander
Wakem, . of the cruiser La Canadienne,
and was sent from Mingan ou the north .
shore of the Gulf of St. Lawrence.' It . -stated
that the cruiser had been success
ful in capturing the schooner Willie, of
Quebec, " Captain Bruin, with a large
quantity of contraband goods on board.
These the skipper acknowledged he had
received from' the notorious Bochard
after be had escaped from Constance in
his schooner, which turns out to be the .
Busy Bee, of Quebec. "Commander
Wakem received further information
from the crew of the captured schooner.,
which will greatly assist the authorities'
in chasing Bochard into close quarters.-'
The Constance is due to arrive at
Rimouski -to Tepqrb for wdeF8 These,,,
wiir direct her commander to disembark
the artillerymen,, who will return to
Quebec and take on a further supply of
arms and ammunition. . ihe three
cruisers, the La Can.idienne," Constance
and Acadia, will continue to - cruise
about the lower St. Lawrence, and the
prospects are. that Bochard and' the rest
of the contraband cargo, which he made
such a bold show of defending, will soon
be in the clutches of one of the revenue
cutters. .
Trusted Officials.
Chicago, July. 21- In Kansas. City
yesterday the officials unearthed -a con
spiracy to rob - the railways which has
been carried on for erne time by passen-.
ger solicitors.' Two ticket brokers and a
large number of conductors have been
ferreted out by railroad detectives and a
number of arrests will follow. . A broker
would " turn over a passenger to a
solicitor, who would put him on the
train of one. of the. conductors in the
plot. The conductor would carry the
man for half fare, and this, instead of
going to the company, would be divided
among the gang. , .
All Klgnt Again.
Telegram. " Congressman Hermann
exhibited fairness and liberality yester
day by voting for the. "world's fair bill,
or rfrther against an adverse proposition.
The vote stood 122 to 110, and Mr. Her
mann was one "of the minority, but, so
far as we can judge, his vote was cast
the right way. There
are occasions
when it is more
creditable and honor-
able to be in a minority than with the
majority. ' .
SaTlnc? Xlckels for the
. Telegram. The old citizen who airs
his opinions in this morning's Oregonian
says the free-bridge delegation is cater- '
ing to the tin-bucket brigade. That is
just what they were sentjfor. And that is
what the Telegram proposes to do, stand
up for the brawn and muscle ; the me- -chanicand
laborer who needs the nickels
he will save by free bridges for himself
and little ones.
