or nearly SIS, 900 in excess Of estimates.

Several weeks ago Governor Davis
telegraphed to the Secretary Of the Int
rior that he would send Santanta and
Big Tree to Fort Sill to await further
action of the Texas authorities. 1t is
held here, however, that when these
chiefs shall be remanded to Sill the State
can have no jurisdictiction over them.
There seems to be no doubt that the
chiefs will soon be restored to their
people.
The police have not yet found j. ID.
Horton, who yesterday swindled the firm
of Osgood and Co., out of about S2s,00O
in gold. Several weeks ago Horton en-
tered the banking house Of P. S. Peter
2
son & Co, Philadelphia, and desired to
open an account with the firm, and with
that purpose in view he offered to de-
| post on account a considerable sum,
which was accepted and the account
opened. Horton continued to increase
his credit account by depositing several
checks, until Wednesday, when he stated
he wished to go into certain stock speeu-
lations in New York, and Osgood a Go.
granted him letter of credit to two
| houses here, authorizing Horton to draw
upon them for $4,000 Yesterday Hor-
ton made his appearance at the Office OF
| Peterson Il Co., Broad street, and pre-
:ented letter of credit for S67, 900, re-
marking that he should probably want
to draw all the money and perhaps more,
as he wanted to go into the street and
speculate. Osgood Il Co. demurred,
whereupon Horton directed them to send
a dispatch to his Philadelphia bankers
and have the transfer made. The trans
fer was promptly made, and everything
being satisfactory S66,7S in gold was
bought and paid over to Horton, who had
meanwhile remained in the outer office,
and then vanished. A later dispatch
was received from Peterson & Co. eau
tioning them against paying any money
to Horton as the checks and drafts
cashed for him in Philadelphia had been
discovered to be forgeries. II was toe
late.
1t is stated that an important confer
ence of railroad magistrates is now being
held, the result of which is likely to b.
the formation of trunk line from New
York to the western terminus of tn
Union Pacific Railroad, and eventual,
to San Francisco. 1t is believed Horac,
T. Clark, now President OF the Uniol
Pacific and Lakeshore, will be mad
President of the Northwestern, whicl
gives the Vanderbilt family control of
trunk line across the continent.
