After reeiting all the circumstances,
including the charges, admissions and
statements of all kinds, the committee
asked that Mr.. Gwinn be suspended and
the scales and the sale of coal placed in
the hands of the station agent until the
| investigation is made.
On Thursday Agent johnson was in
structed to sell coal in car lots at $40 a
| ton.

accident that recently occurred thero.
The injured man, E. Barter, WAS adj
ju,ting machine to make beaded coll

Deer Hunting Down This Way.
/Our exchanges have recently had
much to say about ths deer driven in
by the snow and easily killed. Such
things are of common occurrence down
this way and cause not enough stir to
be noticed in print, but IS other towns
are doing much blowing Caldwell don't
propose to get left.
1t was only few weeks sgo that
Frank Randall killed two deer mile
from town. A few nights after, Mr..
Sisson, who lives near tho Baptist church,
looked out the window about IL o'clock
and saw a small herd Of deer walking
up towards the school house. He rus
tied to got after them with gun but
his aim wasn't quite sure enough.
Those door were In town, you blowers.
A few days afterwards, on Sunday,
one OF the ranchmsn below tswn got
up in the morning and to his horror,
there was four or five deer stuck in the
crustsd snow in his yard. He walked
out and shoosd them away with =
broom. 1t was Sunday, you see, and
it is wicked to shoot deer on Sunday,
you know. Jim Kimssy gave us tho
item and We can vouch for it. Sizc up
to it, you boasting newspaper deer
killors.
Another, and We have done. The
reports Of deer killing put us on our
guard, especially since Mr.. Sisson's sI-
psrisnoe, and the othor night, when wc
heard suspicious noise in our backyard
We armed with the Ratchet and "shoot-
ing:stick" and ..sallied forth. We found
a herd, but didn't try to kill any. Thoy
would have been little too dear for
they had brands oR-to destroy.
NOW as tho game law is in effect,
please lgivs Us rest on deer killing.

WASHINGTON, June 21.-The l7th OF
April President Cleveland issued procla-
nation declaring void the proclamation
issued by President Arthur Feb. "a, 1850,
restoring the old Winnebago and Crow
creek reservations in Dakota to the public
domain. In this proclamation the presl-
dent declared that in order to maintain in
violate the pledges of the government with
the Indians. he warned all persons
In occupation of said lands under color OF the
executive order of Feb. 27, and all persons
preparing to enter and settle the same, that
they would be permitted neither to remain
or enter. Such persons as were ALREADY
there were given sixty days to vacate and
remove thereform with all their effects. II
this admonition was not sufficient, PreSl-
dent Cleveland declared that all the power
OF the government would be employed to
remove trespassers. The sixty days al,
lowed by the proclamation expired
the 18th instant. The interior depart
ment has received information that those
who are on the reservation show no signs
of obeving the executive order. This TACT
has been reported to the president, ana the
situation was a subject of discussion by the
cabinet Yesterday. 1t is known that the
president has resolved to enforce the order.
If those who are illegally on the reserva-
tions named do not vacate at once he VIII
send troops there and have them removed
by force if necessary. Secretary Lamar
fully agrees with the president.

Maxwell Land Grant.
Special TO the Globe.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, June 21.-Mr. j. A.
Bentley of Denver, Col, reconnaissance
of pensions, is special counsel of the depart
ment of justice in charge of the prosecution
of the Maxwell land grant case. Mr..
Bentley is now here to consult the depart
ment as to details. He says there is no
question of these two facts: First, that
the original Maxwell grant which was voted
was $4,000 acres; second, that this grant
has been increased by the extension of
boundaries, so that it actually includes
1.756, 900 acres, for which the
foreign corporation which OWNS the
Maxwell grant has titles. Mr.. Bentley
says that the difference between the orig
inal grant of $1,000 acres and the amount
which is covered by the existing patents I'M
doubtedly belongs to the United States, as
the boundaries were Illegally extended. 1t
does not appear from any evidence which
the government has yet been able. to obtain
that any prominent man in this country, as
has been reported, is implicated in any
frauds in connection with the extension of the
boundaries. The whole responsibility ap-
pears to belong to this foreign corporation.
The department of justice is in earnest in
the prosecution, and has long been advised
of the facts recently given to the public in
the letter Of Sparks, commissioner OF the
land Office.

Hay Will Resign.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, June 21.-There is story
going around that First Assistant Postmas-
ter General Hay Is going oresign July and
be succeeded by Mr.. Nicholas Bell, super
intendent of foreign mails. Mr.. Hay was
asked if he intended to resign, and he re-
piled ambiguously that there were other
places that he would prefer. Mr.. Bell was
asked about the story and said that he knew
nothing of Hays intentions, and for hiS'Own
part he would not take the place of first as
sistant postmaster general if it were offered
him. He liked his present place too well.
1t is fact, however, that it has become
apparent to Mr.. Hay, and to Postmaster
General Villas also, that Mr.. Hays strength
is not adequate to the arduous duties which
his present position impose on him. That
he will resign his office soon is almost GER
tain, and it is not unlikely that the way for
putting healthy, active man in the place
of first assistant postmaster general will be
opened by offering some easier position to
Mr.. Hay.
Villas DON'T KNOW ANYTHING OF 1T.
WASHINGTON, June 21. = Postmaster
General Villas when asked tonight if there
was any foundation for the statement that
First Assistant Postmaster General Hay
will soon resign his Office On account of i'll
health said he did not know of
any such action being in contemplation.

A New York Blaze.

NEW YORK, June 21.-A fire in the nine
story brick building at Greenwich and
Keade streets, formerly the Stewart sugar
refinery, was discovered on the seventh
floor this afternoon. The building EN-
braces Nos. 153 to 159 Reade street, and
800 to 313 Greenwich street. The flames
were first seen on Greenwich street, but
soon the three upper stories were on fire
throughout. 1t took the firemen two hours
to gain control. Hermance, Dickinson &
Co., commission merchants, occupied most
of the building. They used the top stories
for storing woolen goods, principally.
Their loss to stock will reach $S5, ,000,.
while SIS, ,OOO will cover the damage to the
building. Burton & DAVIS, dealers in teas
and syrups, at 81 Greenwich street, and
Bogart & Heydon, tobacco and cigars, at
800, sustained slight losses.

Coming New York Campaign.
ol 20

GtuCSlttl W OlOuc
WASHINGTON, June 21.-Judge Norton,
one of the New York Democratic politi-
clans who came down here last week TO
talk to the president about the best means
of securing harmony in New York, gave
the following summary of the situation In
his city and state: 1.-The new administra-
ton ought to be worth so, 600 votes to us.
A new administration that gives
pretty general satisfaction carries with
it great deal of good will.
This administration seems to be doing hrst
rate. 1t has just begun, and | guess wed
better give it fair show. That sort OF
feeling is pretty widely distributed and in
the aggregate means thousands OF votes.
This is why l say the mere fact OF new
administration that has made reasonably
good impression ought to be worth 50,0O0
votes to lis. But, if with the help OF this
feeling we don't show gain
of 10000 or $4,000 votes over last
year the election is going to be
a close one. The parties are evenly enough
balanced now to make things very interest
ing. The chances are decidedly in our
favor, but unless the federal offices in New
York city are filled satisfactorily to all par
ties, we shall have hard time to elect our
ticket. A good deal depends On the vote
in Ohio in October. If the Democrats
show large gain in Ohio, we will carry
New York in November even if there
should be great deal of dissatisfaction in
our party. But if the Republicans make a
big gain in Ohio it is going to be uphill
work for u.s."

Cattle Men in Trouble.

ST. LOUIS, June 21.-Advices from
Northern Texas are to the effect that seri-
GUS trouble is looked for in Panhandle over
the driving of Southern Texas cattle through
Kansas. Thousands of cattle are going up
the Ft Worth & Denver railway, to be un-
loaded at Harold and then driven through.
It is claimed these cattle are diseased, and
if allowed to go on will spread Texas
fever along the line they travel. The
Kansas men are determined to resist
with all the means in their power any
effort to drive Southern Texas cattle through
the neutral strip, or No Mans Land, as it
is called. 1t is said that the promise of
Secretary Lamar has been obtained to in
terpose the strong arm of the government to
prevent it, and that United States mar
shall with strong posse, armed with gov
ernment authority, will by Monday next
meet the first herd bound for Kansas and
turn them back OF prevent their entrance
into the neutral strip. The Southern
Texas men are very angry over
the matter, and pronounce the
scare without reason. They say their cat
tie are healthy and they will fight before
their rights shall be subverted They are
determined to drive into Kansas and claim
Secretary Lamar has guaranteed them pro-
CS5CblOU W ~ oHu LOO AOohASo 4AeSii
sas men accordingly. Cool headed cattle
men say there will be trouble and that the
government should call halt on the trail
till the question can be investigated and the
true facts ascertained. In connection with
the same matter adviceS come from
Topeka, Kan, which say that
Gov. Martin has received dispatches
from the sheriff of Finney county, in the
extreme western part of the state, inform
ing him that 10000 head of Texas cattle
are now gathered south of the state line,
in charge of 200 armed men, and that an
effort will be made to drive through. The
sheriff asks for instructions. Gov. Martin
has telegraphed him that the state line
stock sanitary commissioner has been or
dered to Gordon City and instructing him
to confer with them. If the cattlemen
persist in attempting to drive herds into
and through Kansas it is asserted that re-
sistance will be made and trouble and per-
haps bloodshed ensue.
