THE WAR ON The BUCKET SHOPS
The Chicago Board of Trade Deter
mined 10 Shut Them Off.

CHICAGO May 1.-The fight between the
Board of Trade and the bucket shops remains
in the same condition. The Board of Trade
committee state that they will furnish quota
tions to their customers over their own wire
with their own tickers, which are now being
manufactured. Never again will any tele-
graph instrument save their own be allowed
on the door. Col. Clowry, General Superin-
teudent OF the Western Union, Is in New
York, carrying on negotiations with the
Board by telegraph. The open Board of
Trade traded on New York quotations to-
day, or made figures for themselves. The
members claimed they were filling all orders
satisfactorily Late in the day the bucket
shops were found TO be running on quota
tions obtained either by tapping the wire or
read by me ssengers.

Ehe Grand Jury Fails TO Indict tn
Sixteen Rioters Under Arrest

Fhe Grand Jury Fails TO Indict the
Sixteen Rioters Under Arrest.
GREEN RIVER, wy, oct. THE grand
fury which has been in session here since
last Friday, entered court this afternoon
and repor ted no bill against the sixteen
persons arrested in connection with the
Chinese riot at Rock Springs. About
thirty witnesses have been examined, and
the jury have been very thorough in their
investigation of the affair. 1t is rumored
that the cases will be taken into the Uni
ted States court.
TEXT OF THE REPORT.
The grand jury made the following re-
port:
1--WE have diligently inquired into the
occurrence AT Rock Springs on sept.
last. and though we have examined a
large number Of witness, no one has been
able 20 testify 10 single criminal act
committed by any known white person on
that day. Whatever crimes may have
been committed the perpetrators thereof
have not been disclosed by the evidence
before us, and, therefore, while we deeply
regret the circumstances, we
are wholly unable, acting under
the obligations OF our oaths, to return
the causes that led TO the outbreak at
Rock Springs. Whi} we find no excuse
for the crimes com uitted, there appears
TO be no doubt Of abuses existing that
should have been promptly adjusted by
the railroad company and its officers. If
this had been done the fair name Of our
Territory would not have been stained
by the terrible events Of Sept ." The
Union Pacific Railway Company is now
employing Mormons at its mines at Amy
and Rock Springs.
