Where Riel win Be Tried.

o. ~ z
Winnipeg Special: Chief Justice Waltbridge
was asked what course would be adopted in
regard to the trial of Riel He replied that ac-
cording to law he would have to be tried in
the district or province where he was captured
He could not be brought to Winnipeg or sent
to Ottawa. The dominion government might
issue q special commission and send up
judges to try him. Judges from here might
be sent, or special Judges for the occasion ap-
pointed, but the trial would have to take
place in the province where Riel was captured.
Under the present act the judicial authorities
in the district where Riel was captured have
power to try man for his life, but an appeal
to the Manitoba bench is provided. He could
not be tried BY court martial under the circum-
stances, as Gen. Middleton had promised in a
letter to Riel that he would be protected until
the dominion government decided on his case.

SHERMAN, June Isl ecial, United
States Senators Dawes, OF Massaohu-
sotts; Morgan, OF Alabama, and Maxey,
oi Texas, arrived here this morning 40 s
o'clock from Wichita Falls. They We're
met at the depot by Mayor Buckler, the
board OF aldermen and number OF
Ci items. They remained an hour and q
halfduring which time they were driven
around in carriages over portions
of the city. Senator Maxey IL &C
quainted with and appreciates the
beauty and worth of north Texas. SEN
stors Dawes and Morgan expressed sur
prise and even astonishHent at the
beauty and development OF the country
they had passed through from Denison
TO Wichita Falls and return to Sher'
man. They did not hesitate TO
say that IL was now FAR
beyond their most sRnguine eNpecta-
tions and that the future was grand be-
yond even the present hopes OF the pc :
pie. They are subcommittee OF the
United States Senate, and their mis-
sion seems to be TO obtain information
and report as TO what disposition the
government will make of tho Indian
Territory. The prominent points
OF their mission Is to report
whether the Indian territory shall be q
territory under the United States gov
ernment? Shall it have its lands, or a
portion only? Shall the lands OF the
Indians be purchased by the United
States and placed ON the market to act
ual settlers? Snail it have q separate
judiciary in itself, or must it cross the
border and take in part of Texas, Ar
kansas and Kansas? Shall a Fed
eral court or courts be es-
Ia blished. and ST so, whero?
Ii Federal court or courts is to be es-
tablished, can they with safety be estab-
Iished in the nation, or must they be
outside and on the borderr In other
words, the object OF the commission, eH
the HERALD reporter understands IL, is
what course shall be pursued in the fu-
ture by the government at large as to
the Indian Territory. And the probable
tiles are that the Indian Territory as 1t
now exists will be blotted out.

G. W. Griffin, members OF the rangers,
also came riding toward them. At this
point there is a divergence OF views.
They did not understand each

Reilly was seriously wounded and q.
