A London View.

LONDON, May 1.-THE News says:
'The American treasury, which is the
ultimate holder of the American reserve,
is well supplied with cash. This ought
to check the panic. All accounts show
that millions of English money is being
thrown into American stocks. During
the three days inconceivably large pur-
chases were made through brokers. Capt.
talists who bought great blocks of Ameri-
can stocks are innumerable. Small
investors made limited purchases. Other
securities were somewhat depressed
because 50 many people were anxious to
realize in order to exchange for American
stocks"

New YORK, May 1.-THE morning
passed quietly, and confidence seems to be
restored. There is no trace of excite
ment and affairs are progressing on a fair
way toward a speedy recovery. Values
in stocks advanced this morning and are
well sustained, the movement being
merely checked at intervals by the usual
sales of small holders to secure the profit.
The statements of the banks are favora-
BILE, showing an excess above the legal re
quirement of several millions. 1t is the
opinion of the leading fnanciers that a
gradual Improvement is certain.

NEW YORK, May lin the petition
of Julian 7. Davies, receiver for the firm
of Grant & Ward, the Supreme court to-
day granted an order authorizing the re-
ceiver to compromise certain claims of the
firm, l.. VonHoffman & Co, and Brown
Bros, each for the sum of Gl02, 500.
The receiver believes that other loans of
a similar character have been obtained by
Grant & Ward and therefore he asks per
mission to compromise all such claims by
~surrendering bonds at their par value.
The court granted the authority to
compromise the claim.

Two Men Assassinnted.

BARDsTowN, KY, May l7.-Herbert
Armstrong and David Brown were found
dead to-day in a field where they had
been blowing. One was shot through the
heart and the other through the head.
The killing was done with a Spencer rifle.
The supposition is that the murderer
concealed himself in the bushes and coolly
shot the men down. Circumstantial
evidence is strong against William Free
who had some business trouble with the
murdered men. The three were all
well-to-do farmers. The excitement is
high and it is feared Free will be
mobbed.

THE SITUATION AT BULLION,
"We Look TO the Old Mau to Save Us
All, Because We Are All Good People

About | o'clock this afternoon,
telephone communication was received
from Bullion, which stated that there
had just been a double slide down
Mayhower gulch, which had destroyed
two miners cabins, but did no further
damage.
The women and children living in the
outlying parts Of town have assembled
in the houses in the center Of town,
which are believed to be safe. The
entire population is alarmed, some
women praying silently that no harm
may come. Several men have laid
of, in order to be on hand if any great
damage is done, and axes, picks and
especially shovels, are kept within
easy reach. 1t is reported that no
swearing or very loud talking is heard
IN Bullion now, and shortly after
o'clock this afternoon Ike Marks
tclephoned: ave look to the Old Man
to save US all, because we are all good
people now"
Michael Gibbons, foreman of the O
X mine, who went up to his cabin
just before the last storm began, to
pack up his baggage preparatory to
leaving for Salt Lake as soon as his
brother arrived, is unable to come
down to Bullion from the mine, owing
to the depth of snow. His brother
has been blockal ed at Shoshone since
last Sunday.

A FATAL SLIDE,
O'Neil Killed and Buried Under
Three Feet of Snow.


About 5 o'clock last evening, the
news reached here that about 10
o'clock yesterday morning, as Will
liam O'Neil was breaking a trail up
to the Tiger, claim of which he is an
owner, and which is situated about
100 yards this side of Mr. Braid
ems house near Bottoms Deer Creek
springs, snowslide started from about
100 feet above him, which covered
him beneath three or four feet of
snow. Several men who had been
watching him from distance of
few hundred yards, saw the slide,
and started at once to the rescue.
After digging for about an hour and a
haf, they found him lying with his
head up the hill, his left arm above his
head, his right arm covering his fore
head, as if to protect it, and his feet
stuck in the snow, as if he had tried
to prop himself up against the tum-
bling mass of snow. His body was
full of air, which gurgled as he was
pulled out, leading his rescuers to be-
lieve that he was still alive. He was
dead, however, and when that fact
had been ascertained some men were
sent down to Haley to procure coffin
and make arrangements for the burial
of the deceased. This morning, ow-
ing to the state of the roads, it was
deemed best to bury his remains near
the springs until May, when they can
be exhumed and brought to Hailey for
burial.
William O'Neil came to Idaho
while serving as a private in the First
United States Dragons, but was dis
charged, by reason Of the expiration
of his term of service, soon after the
beginning of the war. He then en-
gagged in placer mining in Boise Basin
and elsewhere, but for the past 10
years devoted his attention almost en-
tirelv to quartz mining.
Having made some locations on
Deer Creek - among others the
Boulder, in partnership with John
Stapleford, the Tiger, and another, he
this winter worked almost exclusively
on the Tiger, which he considered the
best of his claims. He was hard
working, honorable man, who always
fulfilled his engagements, and was
about 50 years old.
Billy O'Nel, who is no relative of
the deceased, and Bill Smithson left
for Deer Creek on snowshoes about 2
o'clock this afternoon, to see to the
burial Of the remains until spring.
