Washington, Feb. 25.-Tifrany, of
the San Carlos agency, telegraphs the
Indian bureau that the Indians at that
agency are uneasy and excited in con-
nection with the approaching execution
of the three condemned Indian scouts,
fixed for March Sd. He says that the
other Indian prisoners are complaining
of their long confinement without Il
trial, and asserts that they surrendered
under the pledge of a speedy and fair
trial and of being furnished good coun-
sci. Tiffany earnestly recommends the
president to postpone the execution of
the three scouts until the case against
the other Indian prisoners, arrested for
completely in the treachery for which
the three scouts were condemned, is de-
cided.
He evidently a%pprehends trouble if
the execution is carried out, and says
the inhabitants in the vicinity are all
in fear of trouble unless the execution
is postponed. AS the war department
has control of these condemned scouts
and the other prisoners arrested with
them, Tiffany's dispatch vas sent to
the secretary of war, by whom it will
be submitted to the president.

Saturday morning a ive-stOry brick
building on Second st. and Christy ave-
nue., st. Louis, occupied by Kroft,
Holmes Il Co., wholesale grocers, fell
in with a terrible crash and became one
mass of ruins. A slight fire was imme-
diately set in the debris but the fire de-
partment easily extinguished it. The
damage is about $4,000 to 100000; loss
on stock, $4,000 to $4,000. The
building seems to have divided in the
center. No one was injured. Mr..
Kroft had 1926, 600 worth of goods in
the buildings and about $4,000 worth
are in the ruins. The building was
owned by the estate of John Wood of
Pittsburgh, and cost 100000; insured
for $50, 900. The stock is insurned but
Mr.. Kroft says the owner of the build
ing will be held responsible for the
damage. The building was completed
on the 18th of last January and had a
frontage Of AZ feet and a depth of 15s
feet, of which about GA feet are in the
ruins. The walls were % and % inches
thick, and the cause of the fall is a COM
plete mystery.

THEY PROTEST..
The Mormon Legislature OF Utah
Memorabilia Congress.
They Haven't Done Anything Bad;
It's the Wicked Officers.
He Did 1t.

Salt Lake, Feb. 25.-The legislature
to-day adopted a memorial to congress.
The opening paragraph is as follows:
"We, your memorialist, the legisla-
tive assembly of the territory of Utah,
respectfully represent that in conse-
quence of baseless umor and nom
strous exaggeration, the people whom
we represent have been placed in jeop-
ardy and are now threatened with the
deprivation of the right of self local
government"
The persons whose aim is to gain
control of this now wealthy and pros
porous territory and manipulate its
finances, have succeeded in arousing
the ire of the clergy, and the anger Of
many people against a large majority
Of the citizens of Utah, and thus a
pressure has been brought to bear upon
your honorable body, which shows its
effect in the proposed measures, con-
tanning provisions utterly at variance
with the funda mental principles of re-
publican government, and which while
ostensibly aimed at the marriage rela-
tions of but a small portion of the peo-
pie, will, if carried into effect, deprive
the whole territory of the vested rights
secured to it by the organization act
and the constitution OF the United
States"
The memorial then denies at great
length everything eve charged against
the mormons, and accuse the repre-
sentatives of the federal government in
Utah of every species of wrong doing
possible to officers or men.
