business there. In September, 1866, he
made and executed document which
is propounded as his will. 1t was writ
ten in French, occupying only four
lines of writing, and was subscribed by
him and by four persons as witnesses,
three of them being menial servants in
the household. This will left all his
property to his mother He died, and
a few days after his death his mother
died also, she leaving will bequeath-
ing all her estate to her mother. The
will of Ward, jr., is now contested by
his father, the main objections urged
being that at the time Of making it he
was not citizen Of the United States,
and that it is not properly attested by
witnesses to its execution. A large
amount of documentary evidence was
submitted to the surrogate. Witnesses
testified that when the will was exc
cuted Ward, jr., said: SIT is evident
that give all to my mother-I do not
know my father,'' and this is the uear-
est approach that he intended this in
strument as his will. The surrogate
has reserved his decision.

PERFIDIoUs HAYT.
Public Opinion Pushing Him to His Just
Deserts-win He Resigns

New York, June 7.-Dissatisfactio
among friends of the Indians with
Commissioner Hayt's management of
Indian affairs has been growing steadily
for some time, and now eliminates in
charges against him from several quar-
ters which will soon be made public,
unless he resigns. Bishop Hare, of Da-
kota territory, ,criticizes his management
of the Sioux, and the Iribitne's WASH
ington special to-day has the following:
At recent meeting of the board of In
dian commissioners, held in New York,
the subject of the indictment of E. A.
Hayt, commissioner of Indian affairs,
was mentioned. 1t was decided not to
take any steps in the matter at present,
as it was expected that Hayt would
soon offer his resignation. 1t is now
resignation in the hands of member
of the board, who was particularly ac=
tive in securing his appointment, and
it is supposed that the gentleman re-
ferred to will exercise his own discre-
tion as to the time of making it known
to the secretary of the interior. Hayt's
troubles seem to accumulate. 1t is
well known that under the Indian poll
icy pursued during the last ten years,
the Friends have been very active in
their efforts for the benefit of the In
dams.
Agents and employees nominated by
them have been among the most capa-
ble and efficient in the Indian service.
1t is learned, however, that since Hayt
became commissioner, that the Friends
have suffered great injustice at his
hands, last week there was visit to
President Hayes by committee con-
sisting of DR.. Rhoads of Philadelphia,
Latham of New York, and others in
behalf of the society of Orthodox
Friends. The gentlemen formally with
drew from any further connection with
any responsibility for the administra-
told the president that they believed
Hayt to be a rascal. The president
was greatly surprised at the charges
made by the Friends. 1t is said that he
asked for written specifications, which
the Friends declined to give, not desir-
ing to become party to further con-
troversy. Hayt recently nominated as
agent for the Pima and Maricopa Indi-
ans, an elderly New Yorker who has
never been west, and against the wish
es of the society having charge of the
Indians. The nomination is now pend

Wrong Again.


The LEADERS, nomination of Hayes
for 1880 is still without second. Sun.
In its anxiety to get ahead of the
LEADER, the Sta, doesn't take the time
to tell the truth. The next day after
the editorial was written with reference
to President Hayes, the New York S,a,
spoke of the growing feeling for Hayes
all over the country, and concluded in
these words: 1--WE shall not be sur
prised to see the name of Rutherford b.
Hayes much more prominent than
would be most pleasing to rivals, as a
candidate for the republican nomina-
tion.''
The SIN received this same item by
telegraph, but then Its memory isn't
over "a hours long. If that paper re-
ceived any eastern exchanges it would
see that Mr.. Hayes is very frequently
and strongly mentioned as his own sue
cessor. The LEADER doesn't care a
snap for the Suns squib, but it Just
wants to show how far wrong that pa
per is-tas usual.

New York, June THE Tribune to-

narrating the recent visit of eastern
capitalists and scientists to Colorado
and promising its readers further ac-
counts. The increasing interest in this
whole subject, the extraordinary devel-
opments of mineral wealth in the far
west, and the certainty that we are on
the eve of an era of large investments
in mining enterprises, have caused the
Tribune to send out other correspon-
dents to other portions of the great
new field of precious metals We ex-
pect to furnish our readers in the course
Of a few months, with a most complete
and trustworthy survey of the whole of
the new mining region, extending from
Nevada to Arizona, that has yet been

Robbery.


Chicago, June AT half past two
this afternoon one of the boldest rob-
berries ever committed in Chicago was
perpetrated near the intersection of
Wabash avenue and Washington street.
Henry III. Henson, stout colored boy
about twenty years old, had been dis
patched by the Illinois Central treasu-
rer, with package of money to the
Merchants Loan and Trust Co. IS bank.
Carl Wilson, the bank messenger, ac-
companied him as guard. The package
contained between nine and ten thous-
and dollars. The exact amount is
known, but the treasurer refuses to
give it for prudential reasons. When
Wilson and Henson reached the point
above Indicated, two men walked up to
them at an ordinary brisk gait, separat-
ing as they approached, going on either
side of the messengers. When they
arrived within reaching distance they
threw the contents of half pound can
of cayenne pepper full in the faces of
Wilson and Henson, and subsequently
dealt Wilson three heavy blows with
sand-bsg and quick as thought, seizing
the package Of greepbacks which he
carried in a small canvass bag under
his arm, jumped into covered buggy
which stood by the sidewalk and drove
off at furious rate south, down Wa
bash avenue. A considerable number
of people were on the thoroughfare at
the time, and quite number witnessed
the bold proceeding, but none were able
to interfere in time to prevent the es-
cape. The messengers were nearly
blind from the effects of the pepper,
but as soon as possible reported the af-
fair and news was speedily flashed to
all the police stations, and most vigor-
GUS steps were taken to capture the
highwaymen. There is no very relia-
BILE clew to them, all descriptions being
unsatisfactory. The rig has been found
and identified as one hired at IL O'Clock
this morning, at So State street, by
stranger.

A Sunday Morning Fire.

About half-past three O'Clock this
morning fire broke out inf a frame
building in the rear of the Metropolitan
hotel. The alarm was sounded at once
and those who responded found the
flames mounting skywards in immense
volumes. Soon several streams were in
play and in few minutes the fire was
subdued
The firemen did most excellent work
as the wind was blowing n gale and
only the burning building was destroy
ed. 1t belonged to J. C. Abney and
was right alongside of the building
destroyed on the evening of Fourth of
July last.

Laramie City Excited

The staid residents of Laramie think
they have just "struck it rich and no
mistake,'' y in the North Park. Says the
Times:
The excitement still continues una
bated, and we do not consider it an ex-
aggeration to say that at least two
hundred men left the city last evening
and during the night. At all hours
the rattle of teams, taking their de-
parture, was heard upon the streets,
while the continual rapping upon the
doors of our merchants. suggested the
idea that the new fledged miner had
forgotten a shirt, blanket, pick, spade
Or something else. To-day Laramie
presents the appearance of "the desert
ed village,' so graphically described by
Goldsmith, but as tthere is always a
calm before a Storm we predict the
day is not far distant when our streets
will present an appearance which even
Leadville itself might envy.
If SO many men have gone to the
new camp, it may be well to inquire,
who is to protect the town? But won't
Leadville smile at Laramie's aspira-

Bold Robbery at Midday
Blinded by Cayenne
Pepper.
The Louisiana Swearing Match.

Washington, June THE feature
of interest at the capital to-day was the
continuation of the great Louisiana
swearing match, otherwise known as
the Spofford- Kellogg investigation. 1t
would seem that Spofford and his Louis
lana agents have unwittingly forwarded
to Washington the most extraordinary
collection OF boomerangs ever displayed
in this latitude. For to-day another of
Spofford's witnesses repudiated in toto
an affidavit which he was supposed to
have signed, and instead of testifying
to bribery on the part of Kellogg, ,swore
with positiveness and minuteness of de-
tail that he (the witness) was bribed to
vote for Spofford. He also explicitly
contradicted the assertion made by one
of Spofford's IS witnesses yesterday that
certain member of the legislature was
Ill of smallpox and was personated by
another colored man in the ballot for
senator.
