Are THEY lOlLI) HOT HIDE Ike Dead Mau'a Watch Gives Them Awny Other Murderons Charges Hsiging Over Them. Portland, May 2o. At last two men supposed to be the murderers of Win. M. Barbour, of the lirui of Barbour A Dangleish, of Lebanon, have been arrested .nt Butte, Montana. The dftcenveo refuse to give their names at present, but are confident they have the right men. Barbour went to Portland on business, on Wednesday April 15. Soon after his arrival he deposited in the Bank of British Columbia some $700 in money, which fie brought with him. During the day, in addition to making some new purchases, he drew three checks on the Bank of British Columbia; of $75, payable to him self ; another of about $300, pay able to Messrs, Foster & Robert son, and a third of about $-5 payable to Messrs. S. & (J. Gump, lie spent tLe night of the 15th at the llolton house, leaving thereon the morning of the Kith, as if ex pecting to return.- lie was seen on the Dlth, by V. M. Amos, with whom he was at one time associ ated in the groceiy business on Washington street, lie failed to return to his hotel on the evening of the IGth, as was expec:ed he would, and nothing more was seen or heard of hiin. The police made diligent inquiry, but could trace him only for a lew days after his disappearance. Me was knowu to have about $11'5 on his person when last seen, but as $00 of this is accounted for by a deposit, he could not have had over $05 on his person. lie also had a gold watch and chain and a diamond ring. 1 le spent some of his rr oney for drinks, but how much is not known. Several saloon men saw him in their plaoes of business diinking with friends, but when they last, saw him they don't remember. When searched at the morgue nothing was found on the body except a small scrap of paper con taining a icceipt for some goods purchased from a Portland dry goods lirui. The upper half of the receipt was torn oil, so that the receipt amounted to absolutely nothing for the purpose of identifi cation. In his necktie there was a square gold pin with star and crescent ornaments. There was a pearl in the crescent and a garnet in the star. This pin led to the identification of the remains. The front of the head was crushed in, and from a hole in the back of the head evidently a bullet hole the braius were oozing out. That Barbour was foully dealt with there has never bpen auv doubt. The injuries on the head were evidence of this. The fact that all his money, watch and chain aud diamond ring were missing naturally led to the in ference that he was murdered for his money. The general supposi tion is that he was murdered somewheie in the city, and thr.t the body was then carried off and dumped into the river at Pen noyer's mill. i lie public will be glad to hear that the murderers a-e l.kely to be brought to justic. It is learned to-night that .the names oi lhe :ncn under arrest at Bntte are Kdward Rice and 'ieo. White. The name of the third man whom the ollicers are looking for, cannot be ascertained. He is described as a large Swede and they are all said to be cx-convicts. The Swe e and Rice answer to the description of Kapa murderers. The Swede was known to have been in Butte a few days ago, but all trace of him has been lost. The officers are expected to arrive here with the prisoners next Tuesday. CUNCLl'UEl) H ACCEPT. The Tvcnty-Flv Hundred Instead nf Ten Thousand. San- Francisco, May 21. When the California athletic club re solved to award Jackson and (""or bed each $1'500 in lieu of the $10,900 purse as originally olltred for their contest, both fighters vigorously protested against such an arrangment and declared they would not accept it. To-day, how ever, Corbett changed his miml and took the im ney and it is thought Jackson wiil do likewise. Killed Their I rlends ly Mistake. DiNNiNti's, Neb., May L. While a party of vigilantes, who had just captured a cattle thief named McAlvey near here, were bringing the prisoner to town last night, they met another party of v'gilantes. The night was very dark, and each party mistook the oliier for theives. Fire was o'len ed by both tides, aud before ilia mistake was discovered Ju'ce Aikens, treasurer of the county, and McAlvey, the cattle thief, weie killed. No arresls were made. The Sludgers' AU'nirs. San Francisco, May 2:1. Re garding another match w ith Cor bett, Peter Jackson said to-day : ''I am perfectly willing to th'ht "it out. and, in fact, 1 think that is the only course open to us." Jackson said he had, on leaving Australia, promised the Sydney gymnastic club that as soon as fioddard put up the forfeit, he Jackson would meet him. Jack son said Le has since been in formed that the club had arranged a match and he had accordingly sent a letter by the last steamer afliruiing his willingness to keep his promise, but stating that he would not leave for Sydney until summoned by cable. He said his letter should reach Sydney to morrow, and he would allow ten days for a reply, and if none was received he wo'ul 1 agree to another match with Corbett within the time named by the latter, that is three months iron) this date. He further staled that should God dard hold him to the match and he, Jackson, should win, lie would make no otner engagements but return here and giye Corbett the first ma'.ch. Jim Corbett to day received a telegram from the New Orleans Olympic club, oflering a $12,000 purse for a light between him and Slaviu. Coibutt replied that he would be in New Vork in two weeks ami he would then talk light. He states that he probably will not engage in another contest for a year, w lien he w ill be larger and stronger. Kiugmau Wiimthe Derby. Latonia, May 2:5.

A Wash ington dispatch says : The coal bunkers of the Ksmcralda are atill empty. Official advices re ceived at the state department show, however, that her ollicers still have designs upon the l'a citic Mail i-tcamhhio cjal pile. 'I hey are growing desperate des perate and not ub)ve trickery to accomplish their object. A dis patch from the vice-consul at Acapulco states that they came ashore yestetday morning, and represented that they had just received word from I(piiiu: that the Data matter was settled with satisfaction to all parties concerned and iu the light of this informa tion begged to be allowed to take coal in order that the v might im mediately return to Chili. They lid not get the coal. The consul lid not bite, sml he is probably glad that he did not, for com he learned from Washington the Data matter had not been settled, that great care must be exercised to prevent further complications which might onsu, should the Ksmcralda succeed in getting coal from an American company, lhe pursuit of the Data is still on. At least that is the inference of the lepartment Jllicials, in the ab sence of any information. San Francisco, May 215.

A great volume cf water ten feet high gathered in a deep and natrow bed of an old creek and swept down to the mouth of the gulch, where Cottonwood creek runs from another direction. The latter creek formerly ran through this city but its course has been diverted by a tlume.

MILITARY LYNCHING: The Examination at Walla Walla Concluded. THE OFFICER'S DEFENSE. Aspersions Upon ths Sheriff's Courage Tbe Jail Was Bafe If the Doors Had Remained Closed. Waii.a Walla, May 23. To day ended the court of inquiry 'so far as taking the testimony is con cerned in tbe Hunt lynching case. The court will arrive at its conclu sion Monday and forward ita rcpori, to the war department at Washington, I). C. Corporal Arnold was examined to-day. He is one of the men now in tbe guard house and is accused of having given arms for the lynch ing. No information could be ob tained from him. The soldiers say the reason they lynched Hunt was because they heard that Pros ecuting Attorney Blanford would not convict tbe prisoner because the gr.mblers bad contributed to the campaign fund at his election. Col. Compton was again put on the stand. He read a statement in which lie says: "I wish to make clear the reason which gov erned me, after notifying Captain Smith the second time on the evening of the 24th of April to Bee that his troop was in readiness to act at once if called on during the night. In concluding to place his troop on the edge of town, at the reservat ion gate, at 10 o'clock in stead of earlier in the evening, it was because the only information had w as most vague and the inti mation wa3 conveyed in such a manner that no reasonable man would from it have been impressed with alarm. It was thought I knew the men of this command, ami it was not possible to believe the soldiers of this garrison could so far forget themselves aa to make an attack on the jail, and it was beyond human probability that even if such an attack was thought of it would be made so early in the evening, at an hour when the city ot walla Walla would be alive with its citizens, and at a time when an alarm would have caused an assembly of its people within a very few minutes. 1 knew the jail was perfectly secure against almost any attack, if only ably de feuded )y eiinply keeping the doors closed, it would have render ed it safe against this mob, bal their efloi ts continued for hours or days, The sherifT, the custodian of this jail, was supposed to be a man ot courage, and could any reasonable supposition lead one to believe that the doors would be opened to persons supposed to be bent upon vengeance, upon the simple demand from the outside. A notification of an attack would have enabled Captain Smith, with his troop in readiness, to respond from the reservation gate witbin live or six minutes, and had he been in the gtrrison, within ten or twelve mir.utes. Nearly all the participants are young men from 22 to 20 years of age and of no pre ious service to the present enlist ment. I have known tbe army for thirty years, and the system upon which its former workings were based seem to be changing witiiin the last lew ve.irs. Tne new to le of military ethics have been pioduced. This code has had a tendency to separate the soldier from his rillic-er, to a very wide de gree. I ins new mode ot govern ment has produced results more and more apparent every day wo live. The old unwavering loyalty of the soldier for his officer is fast disappearing, discipline is becom ing irksome, restriction is being considered as an affliction 'and proper reproof has, in some instan ces, been deemed an insult and aroused anger.
