Times-Journa : We have been in-
formed that the offeuse charged
against ex Sheriff Worcester and ex-
Treasurer llreen of Grant county is
this: When the court house burned
last fill Sheriff Worcester's papers
burned. When he vacated office in
January he submitted a written state-
ment to the effect that his records had
been burned and that he was una' le
to say who had poid him delinquent
taxes, but that he was ready to pay
over to the county the money due as
soon ns that c ould be determined. He
suggested thai tax warrants be issued
against all unpaid taxes, whenever a
receipt was presented a memorandum
should be made of that fact and the
matter presented to him so that he
could cover the ; mount into the treas-
ury. The populist board hired a3oung
man to run over the hooks, and ignor-
ing the written statement that he was
ready to cover the money into the
treasury when the amount due was
ascertained, they sent the populist
sheriff into northern Kansas where
Worcester was attending the funeral
of his mot'er. He was arrested and
hurried back to (Irani county, where a
gilt-edged bond was secured. Wor
cester had received about 87,f.<K) worth
of tax warrants and had returned
$2,000 worth. He had also covered
into the treasury about $5,000 in eafth
so that the ainouut due, if any. is very
small. , 4
Ex Treasurer Green had sent to the
territorial treasurer #800 of warrants
for which he gave himself credit. The
treasurer sent them to Mr. Green and
several months afterward they were
again sent to the treasurer and this
time they were accepted. Mr. Green s
deputy, not knowing that credit had
been previously given again credited
the treasurer's account with the war-
rants. Mr. Green was ready to make
restitution when the error was discov-
ered, but the populist officials were
bound to prosecute.

Gage has returned to the city from Cin-

banquet given by the Commercial club
of that city to the visiting clubs from

among the people at the delay in the
passage of the tariff bill. The busi-

approaching stagnation, and although

TUESDAY'S CtlNUKESS.
Loci l alent I'rfient tlie Mlmigfnlst—A
Man Who Hate* Women.
The comedy, entitled the Misogy-
nist, presented by a local cast, drew a
large house last evening in the Mc
Kennon opera house. The local talent
was drilled by Mr. and Mrs. Francis
Murray, professional actors, and the
play w;is given for the benefit of the
first regiment band. The parties
taking part all did well. There were
not many distinctions. The comedy
was that of a women who's lover mar
ried another, and who to get even,
marries the first man whom she sees,
i who happens to be a man that brings
f a trunk in the house, being paid a
quart, r for so doing. Sam Wisby
played the man and Miss Julia Tarl-
ton the lady. Of course the lady was
rich. She married the man on con-
tract that the marriage be platonic,
the husband to simply get an allow-
ance. The end Is that the woman falls
in love with the man, with the usual
result. Charley llrewer was a servant
in the house, and Miss Nellie Spurlock
the maid servant. The two made
ample fun for the audience with their
merry love making. Mr. Murray, the
actor. played the advising lawyer, and
Mrs Murray an ugly old maid who by
pretending to be rich, catches linn,

BUCKS DON THE WAR PAINT, j
A Hand of Cheyennes Kscape from the
AReucy and Take to the IIUU-Slous
Invited to .lolu Theiu on
the War Trail.
Helena. Mont., June 2.—Specials
from Miles City, the nearest town in
Montana to the Cheyenne Indian
troubles, say the situational the agen-
cy continues critical. Families who
reside near the seat of the outbreak
coutinue to flock to Miles City. It is
reported that Sioux Indians from Da-
kota have come to the agency, and that
runners have been sent to invite more
Sioux to join them upon the war trail.
Senator Carter will ask President
McKinley that Indian Agent Stouch
be instructed not to interfere with the
sheriff's posse and that the military
authorities support them iu ease the
Cheyennes resist the arrest of the In-
dian Little Whirlwind, known as
David Stanley, and Philip Badger, a
graduate of Carlisle, who admits the
murder of Sheep Herder Hoover. Sher-
iff Briggs and Deputy Smith Winters
should arrive among the Cheyennes
Wednesday with warrants for the mur-
derers, which they will attempt to
serve.
White Hull's band of warriors num-
~„ring 125, who escaped from the
agency Friday night, are in the hills
upon the Tongue river near Ashland,
and this will be the scene of the first
bloodshed should there be any. The
ttlers are not as well armed as the
Indians, though arms and ammunition
are being forwarded as rapidly as pos-
sible. The Cheyennes are well known
their hatred of the white man,
their treachery and their inclination
to Ik- on the warpath. Most of the
heyennes who have on the war paint
are young bucks.
\t the time the Cheyennes came
Montana the country was in posses-
sion of white settlers, who had taken
up land and were engaged in farming
and stock raising, and they petitioned
the government not to allow these In-
dians to remain here, knowing there
mid be trouble if they did. The
government went so far as to stop
their rations, thinking this would in-
duce them to leave, but the ('heyennes
asily procured their living by steal-
ing from the settlers, killing off their
attle, and have continued the cattle
killing ever since.
e present trouble at Lame Deer
agency is but an acute phase of the
armed neutrality in that section. Had
blood exists all the time between the
cowboys and Indians. When cowboys
>ret drunk they kill an Indian and the
red men reciprocate. Indians often kill
range cattle for the hides or for food,
and when they are discovered by a
lone herder they kill him to de-
stroy evidence against themselves. The
result is that they distrust each other
and bushwhacking Is the rule. Lame
Deer agency, the Cheyennes' headquar-
ters, is 00 miles from the nearest rail-
road point. The trouble is not of re-
origin. but dates back almost to
the time the Cheyennes were located
in Montana.

graph in midair that has ever been
secured. He did this with special
apparatus after a years study. By
his invention it will be possible to

such an apparatus Eddy claims that a
photograph can be taken at sea which
will show a ship approaching when it
is ten miles beyond the horizon line,

be used to great advantage during
