ley D. Pendleton was experimenting
the thrcshing of his wheat crop,
near Shepherdstown, he stepped
on the platform over the cylinder of
the t~hreshing machine, which was run
ming at full speed. One of the boards
broke through and his left leg went
into the cylinder. In an instant the
limb was ground into q shapeless
mass. Mr.. Pendlcton was removed to
his house and the mangled limb was
amputated, but death ensued in a few
hours. Mr.. Pendlcton was of q well
known Virginia family, and served

sparks Exn,a,ns and Modiso.

Washington, Feb. 5-Commlssioner
Sparks said to-day that he did not look
upon his directions to Surveyor General
Taylor, not to make contracts for sur
yeys IN north Dakota, as q matter Of any
Importance. He said he had received
from Mr.. Taylor q bend for a contract
for surveying in the Turtle mountain
country, and in his reply has cited the
opinions of Commissioners Price, e. Z.
Smith and Atkins, that the Chippewa,
never ceded the territory north and
west of Devils lake. AS congress- might
act IN the matter this winter, he told
him he thought no surveys should be
made.
"My letter." said Gen. Sparks, "is moi
what can be called definite action on the
matter. No surveys can be made in the
winter, and I think it is well enough to
wait until spring"
Devils Lake, Oak, Feb. 5-The dis
covery of Land Commissioner Sparks
that the title of the Chippewa Indians to
the Devils lake and Turtle mountain
regions is still operative.
creates profound surprise here,
although it is generally held
that Sparks, as usual, is more sensa-
tional than correct. The local land office
has as yet received no definite instruc-
tions from Washington. The Chippe-
was number only $50 in all and occupy
two townships in the Turtle Mountain
region, their reservation having been re-
duced from twenty townships by the
executive order of President Arthur.

perlured themselves in the circuit
court here in an endeavor to secure the
acquittal by an slibi of their brother-in-
law, James Kirby, a notorious cracks
man, on trial for burglary. Kirby and q
pal named Edwards were found guilty
and seat to state prison for five years.
The Merroat and Cooley women were
subsequently arrested for perjury, and
when they realized that the evidence of
their guilt was incontroyertible they
pleaded guilty. Each mother appeared
before the judge for sentence with o
baby In her arms. They were sent to
prison for two years. One hour
after the pardons had been signed Gov.
Rusk received a piteous telegram from

Tho Coke Country troubles.

Connelsville, Pa, Feb. 9-There was no
outbreak reported from any point in the
coke region to-day. The sheriff is here
swearing in one hundred men as depu-
ties for the purpose of attempting to ar.
rest all who were engaged in the depre.
6ation. at Broadford yesterday. The
crowd that visited Jimtewn from Sect
dale last evening to force the
men at work there to join
them were successful. This morning
not a man wes at work and all ovens
were closed down. The strike has as
sumed o most serious aspect, in view of
the exciting occurrences of yesterday,
and grave fears are entertained by good
citizens that it may excel the Booking
valley riots. Many miners who partici-
pated 10 those riots are here sowingithe
seeds of sedltion whore there is a chance
of reaping.

LawIessness in Texas.

Galveston, Feb. ga special from
Paris, Texas, to the News, says that at
one O'Clock yesterday morning q noun
ted posse of nearly n hundred masked
men appeared before the jail in Lamar
county. A dozen of the party dismount-
ed and knocked for admission. Tailor
BaldWl in opened the door and two men
sprang inside. Baldwin showed fight
and fred his revolver, but the men
knocked his arm up and then choked
HIM until he was black in the face. They
then broke into the cell and seized r. t.
Garrett, the wounded desperate who
killed Deputy Sheriff Davis. They
dragged him through the Jail and placed
him in q wagon and marched to the tim
Der three-fourths OF a mile distant and
strung him up to a tree, and his body
Yves found dangling from a halter this
morning. The %vigilantes prepared the
attack with great care, as guards were
placed at every street leading to the
jail. Garrett vas arrested for
disturbing a Christmas tree festival at
Schockly prairie Deputy Davis kindly
permitted him to visit his home before
going to jail, wherenpon Garrett seized
his rife and brutally murdered the off:
Ger when the %latter's back was turned,
Garrett was afterwards captured afte,

ForclbIy Expelling the Chinese,

Ia sHS
Portland, Oregon, Feb. To-day, as
if by programme laid out, the Chinese
are being driven out of Seattle. 1t is
understood the knights of Labor head
the movement. The Chinese are march
ed to the steamer Queen of the Pacific,
lying at the wharf, and the rioters pay
stoefage 30 San Francisco for each
Ohinaman put aboard. The steamer
plies regularly between San Francisco
and Puget Sound. AT this hour, 2 p. m.
about 100 have been put aboard. No
effort is made by the rioters to force the
Chinese aboard without pay
ing their fare, which is $40 In
each case. The captain has stationed
men with five streams OF hose, and is
prepared to throw boiling water into the
mob if they renew the attempt to run
the Chinese into the vessel.
The mayor of Seattle and other promi.
nent citizens have telegraphed to Van
couver barracks, asking General Gibbon.
commanding the department of Column
bia, for troops. General Gibbon has
tslegrsphed the wal department, but up
to this hour no authority has come from
Washington to send troops. Vancouver
is distant $50 miles from Settle, and trans
portstion would be effected by boat and
rail. The shortest time the troops could
be transported Is seven hours, and even
if the troops should start tonight they
would be too late to prevent the Chinese
expulsion. Chief Justice Green, of
Washington territory. has telegraphed
Attorney General Garland, urging him
to use his influence to have
troops ordered to Seattle. As yet there
has been no bloodshed or incendiarism.
but it is believed as soon as night sets IN
there will be serious trouble, Of which no
estimate can be made at this writing.

The will was contested by the blood

that the instrument was not properly

tator was of sound mind before aud after
the will was drawn; that there was no
