Great Anxiety lt.
Cheyenne, Wyo., April 17. Great
anxiety is felt here by the friends of the
imprisoned stockmen and by the state
authorities over the sitoation in Johnson
county. The orders of Govei nor Barbour,
directing that the captured stockmen at
Fort McKlnney be brought to Douglas,
and his order that Sheriff Angus turn
over the four prisoners he is holding to
the military authorities served to arouse
intense excitement throughout northern
Wyomiog, the small ranchmen believing
the invaders will be spirited out of reaoh
of the county authorities, and by some
legal joggling escape trial or punishment
tor killing Kay and Champion, l he gov
ernor disclaims any intention of aiding
the prisoners to escape punishment, and
says tbey will be turned oyer to the ciyil
authorities as soon as adequate protection
can be given. The wires went down
since the orders to have the prisoners
brought to Douglass were sent, and news
of the governor s intentions to ultimately
turn the prisoners over to the civil au
thorities has not reached northern Wy
omiog. The latest information says the
ranchmen are arming and congregating
at Buffalo. Evident intention preventing
the prisoners from being taken out of
the country. . If they can be convicted
the stockmen will be dealt with accord
ing to law. It is is generally believed
they will disperse to their homes, and no
violence will be offered the captives. If,
however, tbey become convinced the
stockmen are to escape legal punishment
serious trouble will result, and the coon
try will be placed uuder martial law.
General John li. .Brooke, at Umaha,
commanding this department, has tele
graphed Governor Barbour that he had
been instructed by the secretary" of war
to deliver him the fortv odd cattlemen
now imprisoned at Fort McKinney. " No-
word has been received here from John
son connty. and it is thought the rostlere
have cut the wires to Bunalo. Snorts
have been . made to get dixpuich 's
through, but they have failed. Governor
Barbour is much alarmed and is anxious
to get communication with Fort McKio
ney. It is now generally admitted that
the removal of prisoners from McKinney
to Douglass would be- very hbzardous.
It is certain the rustler will capture
tbem on the way, and every hour adds a
more strious aspect to the. situation.
Governor Barbour has not yet notified
General Brooker whether he will receive
the prisoners now at Fort McKinney.
Public sentiment is turning in favor of
the rusilers.
The People are Angry.
Buffalo, Wytf., April 15. This morn
ing the sheriff demanded the prisoners
from the commanding officer, who re
fused, as bis orders are to bold and pro
tect tbem until further instructions. The
county residents are remaining in tbe
city. , Tbe bodies of Champion and Ray
were brought in town today, and were
viewed at the undertaker's.' Tbe former
has twenty-eight bullets ia bis body,
while the remains of Ray were unrecog ¬
nizable, tbe legs and bead being entirely
consumed by lire, leaving only tbe
charred and roasted trunk. The sight of
this causes tbe . most intense feeling
against tbe prisoners, but no trouble is
feared unless it is obvious that justice
will be defeated. Tom Keze. who is fore
man of tbe Murphy Cattle Company,
said Fay Parker, who is manager of that
outfit, said tbe prisoners bad no fears,
that tbey bad any quantity of money and
could boy themselves oat, and that Par -
ker today received a letter trom a
stranger offering $5000 if needed. Tbe
prisoners appear neither sorry nor worried,
about their crimes. Tbe only anxious
idea tbe people have, is that the'mvaders
have so much wealth at their command
and so many friends at court, tbey will
escape : tbe punishment . deserved. The
special guardhouse resembles a hotel or
summer resort. The prisoners sun them
selves on tbe piazza, board at tbe Canteen
restaurant, and are escorted to and from
their meals by guards.
' ' a
' Kew Brazilian Kepnbile. .
New York, April 17. Tbe BeralcCi
correspondent at Bio de Janeiro, Brazil,
cables the following: "President Peix
otto is sending two expeditions to put
down tbe insurrection is tbe state of
Matto Grosso, which - bas now assumed
such serious proportions as to f lighten
tbe authorities. One expedition goes by
railway. Tbe soldiers, after being con
veyed to tbe end of the route, will have a
vast deal of bard tramping ahead of tbem
before tbey reach Cayvia. The other
expedition goes by sea on one of tbe gov
ernment transports. - It is expected that
tbe land and sea forces will combine in
the attack. It will take from ten- to
twelve days for them to reach their desti
nation. Cayvia ia well defended, and
the revolutionists are reported to be well
armed and organized and to have for
midable artillery. President Peixotto is
using tbe strongest measures at bis com
mand in suppressing tne insurrection,
and it is not believed here that Matto
Grosso can long bold ont against the gov
ernment. Tbe population of the state is
small compared with its vast area. Its
residents are nearly all negroes and In
dians. Tbe difficulty in reaching it and
disturbances in other parts of Brazil may
prolong tbe struggle, but that tbe new
republic will eventually be blotted out,
seems to be a foregone conclusion..
JL Darlnc Jail Break.
Chehalis, Wash., April 15. A daring
jail break was accomplished .about mid
night, by which two prisoners held on
serious charges secved their liberty. . H
C Place, who has been a trusty and
given great liberty by tbe jailor, secured
a revolver in some unknown way. When
Deputy Sheriff Frank Carpenter made tbe
late rounds be held bim up, compelled
bim to open the doors, and then with tbe
assistance of the other prisoner, Isador
Joseph, bound and gagged him, and the
two made their escape. After an hour
and a half's bard work, Carpenter liberat
ed himself and gave tbe alarm. Place was
held for a nameless crime committed at
Centralis in January, and Joseph is tbe
bogus newspaper man who bad recently
forged several checks at Peel, this county.
Joseph bad every prospect of being liber
ated in a day or two tnrougn tbe assist
ance of friends who came forward to
make good tbe losses of bis victims.
Sheriff Barnett has half a dozen deputies
looking for the fugitives. .
. ' The Promised land.
Oklahoma City, April 17. It is esti
mated that 25,000 people were today toe
ing tbe line of tbe Cheyenne and Arapa
hoe reservation, making ready for tbe
charge Tuesday. Filers will have ad
vantage over settlers, as tbey will be
ready to make declaration before tbe
settlers, can possibly reach desirable
lands. - Tbe Santa Fe is preparing to run
numerous trains into tbe reservation tbe
day of tbe opening, and the ' race for
those on horseback and in wagons will
be a long one.. Merchants, with loads of
iroods of all conceivaole kinds, will be on
band, and a few hours alter tbe opening
will be doing business at tbe county -seat.
Thousands have already given np all
hope of getting homes and will leave at
once. Many hope to be able to parcnase
claims cheap from the squatters. At
Kingfisher tjie land receiver bas decided
tbe line formed four weeks ago bas no
legal status, and there is serious talk oi
forming another line. In this event,
trouble will follow and possibly blood
shed.
Wilson Rourghly Handled.
Washington. April 16 Representative
Wilson, of Washington, was roughly
bandied by several watchmen and mes
sengers at tbe bureau of printing and
engraving this evening. He entered the
building after hours and was proceeding
upstairs without having made himself
known. He was remonstrated with by a
watchman, but still persisted, and did
not disclose bis identity. Tbe watchman
grasped tbe member from Washington
with the intention of retarding bis pro
gress, when the congressmen, in true
Western style, dealt tbe watchman a blow
that sent bim reeling down tbe stairs.
Several watchmen and messengers then
seized upon the Western congressmen,
and before the . tussle was over be re
ceived a pretty severe drubbing. - Mr.
Wilson succeeded finally in reaching Su
perintendent Meredith's office, when an
explanation was made. It is not prob
able tbat any vacancy in the force of
watchmen at the bureau will occur be
cause of the incident. .
V -
Another Blaine Story.
Brooklyn, April 16. William H.
Grace, whose recent report of an inter-
view with Mr. Blaine attracted much at
tention, today reiterated bis statement
tbat Blaine will accept the nomination
for president should it be made, and says
be makes the stctement without fear of
authoritative contradiction. He says Mr.
Blaine in accenting tbe nomination could
do so in perfect harmony with bis, letter
ot declination; tbat be only declined to
become a candidate by reason of .being
in the cabinet of one who is a candidate,
and because of bis desire for continued
harmony in tbe cabinet, in view ot tbe
many questions of importance pending
affecting our relations with a number of
foreign nations. Mr.' Grace calls upon
the admirers of Blaine to go to Minne
apolis and demand bis nomination.
Rnstler In Favor. .
Douglas, Wyo, April 18. The feeling
of prominent citizens in this section
against the Johnson county outrages is
growing bonrly more intense, as tbe leal
facts of the atrocities become more fully
known. Although Converse and Johnson
counties are adjacent to each other, the
county seats, Douglaa and Buffalo are
150 miles apart. The people ot Douglas
are as intensely interested, boweyer. as
those of'Jobnson county. All tbe stock
men in tbe mob are well known bere and
several of tbem reside in this county.
Frank Wolcott is the leader and F. C. Ir
vine, his lieutenant, is tbe state live stock
commissioner. Tbey are both residents
of Converse county, Wolcott has not a
hoof ot stock in Johnson connty, and was
never wronged by a settler up there.
Tbe sentiment of ths people here is tbat
tbe Fort McKinney prisoners can never
again reside as citizens in Converse, John
son or Natrona counties, for if Wolcott or
any of bis followers should set' foot ia
this section, except as prisoners, tbey
would be shot down, and there are not
officers enough in Wyoming to protect
tbem for a day. Tbe settlers wilt protect
tbem until tbey Can have an impartial
trial In Jounson county, and there is no
fear of violence if Governor Barber keeps
his hands off.
Blver and n arbor Improvements.
Washington, April 18. Senators
8quire and Allen were before tbe senate
committee on commerce to urge the im
portance of river and harbor improve
ments in their state. Senator Squire was
particularly anxious that an appropria
tion be made for tbe improvement of the
Columbia river to 'Vancouver, and urged
at length the necessity for allowing deep
water vessels to reach that city. The
various other improvements suggested,
and tor which the senators have- intro
duced amendments, were asked for, and
each of tbe senators gave bis views upon
tbe importance of the projects proposed.
Tbey also asked for a number of surveys,
ana aweu upon toe proposition ui sur
veying and improving tbe Upper Co
lumbia to the International boundary
line, and suggested that $60,000 be ap
propriated to open up this great water
way through the 'Eastern Washington
beat belt. Senator squire again urgea
upon tbe committee tbe importance ot
bis bill for tbe .bakes union ana wasa-
ington canal, but tbe committee did not

qeciae 10 report i. . (senator oquire 10
anxious to secure . a unanimous report
from the committee on tbe bill, as Sena
tor Dolpb bas assured him tbat it will be
favorably reported. ' .:
Enrope's Anarchists.
Beklin, April 13. It is expected the
Workingmen will not be allowed to hold
processions anywhere in Germany May
day. ' Maybe the anarchists will attempt
to parade in spite of tbe prohibition tbat
may be issued, but tbe authorities are
determined there shall be no repetition of
rioting in this city. It is not believed
the genuine workingmen will cause any
trouble. ,' . '
Rome. April 18. Much anxiety is felt
throughout Italy as to tbe May day cele
bration. Tbe socialists, ot wnom mere
are. many in all tbe Italian cities, threat
en to. sbow strength. Tue authorities,
however, are fully alive to tDe oemanoa
of the occasion. Attempts to create dis
turbances will be aeverely repressed.
Paris. April 18 In France the social
ists are preparing to bold processions
everywhere on May day. It is expected
2,000,000 - will be in line aitogeiner.
While disturbances are not looked for,
the authorities are prepared to meet tbem
in case tbey occur. The demonstrations
are chiefly in favor of an eight hour day.
The Crisis at Winnipeg Passed.
Winnipeg. April 18. The flood crisis
here is !hougbt to have passed. Tester
day, in order to relieve the pressure of
tbe ice on tbe Louise bridge, the Cana
dian Pacific used dynamite freely. This
started tbe ice to move and it poured past
in great volumes, sweeping everything
before it. Bath Douses were crushed,
telegraph poles snapped, switch boxes
torn away, scows thrown upon tbe banks
and portioas of the piers oi me uroaawaj
bridce were swept down tbe stream, loe
water began to fall rapidly and unless
tbe ice jams further down the stream, as
it did in 1882, which was tbe direct cause
of the disastrous floods that y ear, it is
possible tbe worst bas been seen. The
Northern Pacific tracks along the river
lront are rapidly becoming visible again.
Deemtn Is Prononneed Bane.
Mklboobne, April 18. The medical
board who have examined murderer
Deeming as to bis sanity, pronounce bim
to be mentally sound and penecuj re
sponsible for all his actions. ' The state
ment tbat Deeming was mad when he
committed tbe murder at Rainhill and
Windsor while suffering from instinctive
insanity received no credence from the
board. Deeming maintains bis nonchal
ant air, and continues to talk of what be
will do when he goes back to England
He said today tbat without tbe help of a
lawyer he could convince any jury, it ne
tried, that be was innocent. He eats
heartily, saying tbat he does not intend
to go into a decline because the authori
ties hold bim in jail for a few weeks.
Tbe chaplain was admitted to bim on
D nday and Deeming talged with bim on
reugidSs subjects. He remarked, how
ever, tbat be did not care much -for
religion, as the woman who got him into
trouble by her unfaithfulness (Miss
Mather) was a-ways reading a prayer
book. A Ramor Denied.
Washington, April .15. Reports are
in circulation bere to tbe effect that it is
understood to be tbe purpose of this gov
ernment ta gradually cease their diplo
matic relations with Chili. Tne atten
tion ot Assistant Secretary Wharton, of
tbe state department, was called to the
report, and be said tbere was no trntb in
it. He said both Minister Egan and
Consul McCreery were granted leaves of
absence, but Egan would leave the sec
retary of tbe legation at Santiago, and
Consul McCreery tbe vice-consul at Val
paraiso in charge. No claim for indem
nity on account of the attack od Ameri
can sailors has heen- made of the Chilian
government yet. The question is being
reserved lor future consideration.
Chinese Exclusion Bill.
Washington. April 15. Senator Fel-
ton is at work getting together an array
of figures and data which he will use in
bis speech in the senate when the Dolpb
Chinese bill comes up for' consideration.
He says he will be ready to take the
matter up uext Monday if Senator Djlph
is willing. It is understood that the
latter will call tbe bill up whenever Fel
ton signifies tbat he is prepared. Felton
will move to substitute Geary's bill for
Dolph's. '.
An Old Indian Woman's Adventure.
Olympia, Wash , April 14. Old Julia,
a fumonssiwai-b character, while walking
near the Northern Pacific bridge today,
was' struck by an overland engine and
burled into the air, falliDg twenty feet
away. She lay motionless in the mud for
a time, and it was first thought she was
dead, bnt she soon arose and walked
away, practically uninjured.

Odd fellows At Moro. .
I Last Friday Moro Lodge, No. 113, 1. 0.
O. F. was organized at Moro in Sherman
county with twelve members, and the
following officers installed:- C. E. Jones,
N. G.;Mr. Peoples, treasurer, O. E.
Leet, secretary, and Wm. ' Farre, treas
urer. The members from Columbia

Ruch, A. MacLeod, H. Clough, James
Blakeney, Henry Boyen, F. H. Sharp,
R, G. Closter, Henry Bills and S. B.
Adams, and from Ridgeley lodge at
Dufur, D. E. ' Thomas, R. Rothery, M.
Heiser, and others whose names we

tain. A public installation of the officers
was held in the evening, and at mid
night a bountiful collation was spread
by the citizens for the visiting Odd-Fellows.
We have talked with some of the
guests, and they say that the table to
which they sat down was burdened with
good things. An Anglo-Saxon's heart is
always reached by way of his stomach,
and we are fully persuaded that some of
the young men from this city who were
present will have an attraction towards
the excellent lady cooks at Moro who
prepared the repast When the guests'
left that city in Sherman county this
morning there was a sacred niche in the
chamber of their memories devoted to the
citizens of Moro, and especially to'the
ladies who prepared the refection.

The sale of four hundred hay-fed Nevada
steers the other day for $35 around, de
livered at tbe railway nation for .shipment
to -San Francisco, is proof positive that cat
tle valnes on tbe Pacific coast are stiffening,
says the Baker City Democrat. It is pretty
evident that prices will continue to improve
for some years, and that new life and vigor
will be given to the industry. We under
stand tbat California batchers are offering
to contract Nevada and Idaho steers for
next summer's delivery at the railroad and
getting no cattle. The lowest offer on tbe
part of tbe ranchmen at which they are
willing to contract their steers is $35, and

were buried beside those of her father at
Dufur yesterday. Very many oi our people
will remember Miss Ward, who in early
girlhood resided in Ihe Dalles and was be
loved by her companions for many estimable
traits of -character, and who will deplore
her early death.- The brother, mother and
other members of the family in this com
munity will receive tho heartfelt sympathy
ci our citizens.
Astorian: Everyone interested in the
success of the new railroad, and tbat means
all Astoria, was pleased to see the Frank-
Yort come in yesterday with a barge laden

counter between two boys and a Chinaman.

and had quite an advantage in the encoun
ter with one but was knocked down by the
second taking a part in the heat of the
affray. Our reporter did not see tbe be
ginning of the trouble; but know that boys
usually are too insulting to Chinamen, aud
in many instances should be severely pun
ished by law for interference with the rights
of Celestials. They are residents in this
country, and should be protected.

The object of confining Mullen in the jail

accomplices in order that any attempt to in
fluence him as a witness in behalf of his
partners in crime will be frustrated.
The Klamath Star gets off the following:
Tbe Klamaths have caught dead loads of
mullet this season. Tbey dry them, pile
tbem as high ss cord wood, and haul tbem
to their homes on the reservation for sum
mer eating. Tbe drying preserves them
hnely, and - when properly roasted and
served np with green corn and butter, they
are "hiyu muck-a-muck" for the good In
dian, aud this flavor is so pleasurable to the
relish of the epicure that be creaks forth in
a series of exclamations having no logical
dependence or natural connection,' though
expressive of a joy that extends deep down
into his bowels.
Salem S talesman: The recent stabbing
affray at Kiddles, Douglas county, which
resulted in tbe death of Chester Pogue,
brother of M. E. Pogue, of this city, is the
second quarrel between sohoolmates that
haa resulted fatally at Riddles. Russell.
tbe young fellow who stabbed Rufus Quine,
in the first row that occurred there, was
sentenced to the penitentiary for seven
years, but was afterward pardoned by the

Times, by the disappearance of Marion
Anderson, alias "Jesse James," a young

returned with the saddle on. A search
party was formed which scoured tbe coun
try far and near.. His spurs and bridle
Were found in an old deserted cabin, but
the searchers could find no further trace of
him. Some believe he bas been foully
dealt with, while others think he has
skipped the country and took this method
of leaving to create a sensation.
Asotin Sentinel: ' A short time since a
number of boya holed a rabbit near tbe farm
of W. C. Boggan, in the vioinity of Mont
gomery ridge. Its hiding place was in a
ledge of loose shell rock, and while the boys
were making an effort to capture it they
uncovered three skeletons, supposed to be
those of Indians. Beside one of the skele
tons was an old gun, of the flint rock pat
tern, ' with a piece of Hint still in tbe pan.
The gun barrel was a little rusty bat the
wood work is still in a good state of preser
vation. It was tbe custom among the In
dians np to sixty years ago, to bury their
dead in snob places as this and also to de
posit in the grave all their earthly effects
for future use when tbey arrived in the
happy hunting ground. Bat in this instance
it appears the fellow either didn't arrive at
bis destination, or else in bis nurry lorgot
his gun. ,
The Australian ballot law makes it tbe
duty of tbe county clerks of tho state to
prepare and post notices of all offices to be
rilled at any general or special election.
County Clerk Payne, of Lion county in
"making up his notice for the coming Jane
election, refused to place tbe omce ot attorney-general
in the notice as an office to be
filled at such election. Consequently a
mandamus suit has been filed against Payne
to compel him to place such office in his
election notice. Ihe case came oetore Judge
Boise in chambers Thursday and he ren
dered a decision without bearing any argu
ment. He said he had occasion to look up
the law, and he ordered a mandamus issued
directing tbe county clerk to place the
office of attorney-general on tbe list to be
elected. Judge Boise said the governor
could not make appointments to extend be
yond a general election, Ihe case will go
at once 00 appeal to the supreme court, and
an opinion may be looked for early this
week. Hon. J. K. Weatberford and Judge

An up-ooantry editor takes this consola

W bile the life of a country editor is fw '
from being one of coutiuutl peaon aod hap
