THE ASCENDING TRUSTEES.

They Declare n Chicago Man to be the
Cause of Their Rascality.
WASHINGTON, IND. September 9.-There
are some new developments in the Dawes
County trustee frauds. Grimsley, Brown
and Clark, tile absconding trustees, have
been seen and interviewed in Hamilton.
Ont J. c. Billheimer, one of the attorneys
of Washington, went to Canada shortly
after they disappeared and came across
them in Hamilton. BilIheimcr has just Ic-
turned, and says: when 1 arrived in
Hamilton. Ont, | found three of the
ClOOmiest trustees | ever saw in my lie.
They looked sad and forsaRen, but offered
no apologies or explanations concerning
their schemes They blamed a Chicago
party for good part of the mischief. !
don't believe the three trustees
have much left, but | think the Chicago
man beat them out of about all they had
raised Oh the fraudulent warrants because
the paper was made out to his order, ant
he made no promise to hand over thu
money 10 them as he disposed of the pa
pers 1t Is a fact however, that neither of
them can approximate how much paper
they had Issued The total amount can
not be less than S250.000 for three town
ships. This and the fact that POsey County
has discovered an apparently illegal issue
of $50, 600 of certificates by u former trustee
has caused CONSERVATION among the people
of this section, and may result in al extra
session of the Legislature for the purpose
of amending the laws which at present a..
low township trustees almost unlimited
power in raising moneg for which value re-
ceived does not enter as consideration.

bic cyclone struck Washington Court

miles west of here, at eight o'clock isst
night, and almost literally swept it from
the earth. 1t came from the northwest and
broke upon the town suddenly, carrying
everything before it. The tornado whiried
up Court street. the main business thor
oughfare, and ruined almost every business
block on it, or at least forty or fifty in gil.

capped, fully four hundred buildings gong

vicinity was carried away, making ingrcsS

wire within circle of two miles is down

tails of the catastrophe. The only reports
that can be gotten are through an opera or

THE WYOMING TROUBLES.
United States Troops Protecting Chinese
Miners.

Miners.
Rock SPRINGS, w. T., September TO-
Notwithstanding the fact that the Union
Pacific announced few days ago that they
would no longer permit Beckwith, Quinn
& Company, coal contractors. to work Chi
namen in their mines, and would ship them
out of the country, seven hundred CeIestials
arrived at four O'Clock yesterday afternoon
from Evanston. They were accompanied
by four companies of troops, increasing the
force of soldiers at this point TO six compa-
MES. The Cinnamon will be domiciled in
the freight house until their cabins are re-
built. The announcement was made las:
night that the Chinese will 20 TO work in
the mines this morning and that white men
would not be permitted to work any more.
The plan is to protect the Chinese with
troops until the white men are forced to
leave town, when the troops can be with
drawn. No demonstration against the Ce-
lestials has been made as yet, but it is safe
to say that serious trouble will ensue a.
soon as the opportunity affords. Tile
presence of so large Il body of
soldiers will prevent ANY open act of viO-
Ience. but the white miners assert that the
Chinese must go in spite of Uncle Sans
protection. Hundreds of rnmOrs were afiOat
last night regarding the plans, and soldiers
and citizens are in state of suppressed ex-
element, mOmentarily expecting all out
break of some sort. The Chinese quarters
have been surrounded By strong picket
line, and all the buildings belonging to
the company. Beckwith, Quinn IL Co. s store
the powder magazine and the entrances 10
the different mines are all under guard, as
it is said the miners have threatened TO
blow them up. The situation is serious in
the extreme and the feeling prevails every
where that on account of the bringing Of
Cinnamon back, the destruction of property
by fire and explosives IS sure TO follow, and
it is not unlikely that general strike may
ensue as the employees all along the line OF
the rnaf ara in svnlnathy with the miners.
