ton for 1886. just now being made. is esti-
mated at $40, coo. 600. The actual value of
property i'll the territory is not less than
500, 600, 900. Wyoming hasno present in
debtedness, neither bonded or floating, and
ON Jan. L, 1856, there was a cash

Chicago, were the successful bidders, their
bid being $40, $780, the next bid being $780,

A Retaliatory Measure.

WASHINGTON, June An the house
Mr.. Boutelle of Maine introduced bill re-
lating to the duties on fish, which was re-
ferred. The bill repeats and strikes from
the free list the paragraphs providing for
the free importation of fish, fresh for con-
SUMPTION fish sounds or fish bladders,
fish tongues cod sounds, hake sounds, fish
skins and shrimps or other shell fish. I'm

Boutelle says in reference to this bill that
the so-called retaliatory provision recently
added by congress to the shipping bill,
however proper and justifiable, will not be
regarded with much concern by the Cana
dians, as they do not care much for the
privilege of purchasing bait or supplies in
our ports. He proposes, therefore, to deal
with the fishery question practically, by
terminating the free importation of fish and
increasing the import duties on all fish, thus
compelling the Canadians to pay more for
the privilege of selling their fish in the

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, June 4.-Last
evening, fifteen miles northwest of this
city. two officers had a deadly encounter
with Joe Brannan, the noted desperate,
who died one hour after the encounter.
Brannan belonged to the band of outlaws
and stage robbers who murdered the late
United States marshal, Hal Gosling, on the
cars. near this city, over year ago. Bran
nan was on the train when the convicts
opened fire on Gosling and his deputies but
1T could not be proven that he did the
shooting. His lawless acts would fill vol
umes. With desperate named Pitts he
robbed the postoffice at Double Horn,
Burnett county, escaping to Missouri, his
native land. He attempted to kill man
and was riddled with bullets. To the sur
prise of his physicians he recovered. He
recently returned to Texas. going
to the ranch of his brother on
the Leon. Deputy United States
Marshals William and Ed Van Ripen, hear
ing of Brannar's presence in the vicinity,
went out yesterday to capture him, dead OF
alive. Knowing the character of the man,
they concealed themselves in thicket and
awaited his coming. When Brannan ap-
peared he was in his shirt sleeves but wore
his pistol belt. They ordered him to sur
render. Brannan ran to thicket and threw
himself fiat. Ed Van Ripen followed, and
was peering through the chapparal when
Brannan, who lay only few feet distant
SENT A BULLET PAST HIS TEMPLE,
the powder burning Van Ripen's face. This
began fatal duel. Van Ripen, stunned
but not wounded, fell to the ground and
opened on Brannan with Winchester.
Brannan crawled about fifteen yards away.
The bushes were dense. The first shot
struck Brannan in the right hand carry
ing the pistol fingers away. The desperate
however did not surrender but shifted his
revolver to his left hand and steadied it
with the bleeding right. In this position
he fired four shots and inflicted two flesh
wounds. William Van Ripen now entered
the thicket and opened fire on Brannan,
who had risen and was about to fire his last
bullet when he fell, shot through the
lungs. The desperate was conscious to
the last and persistently refused to make
disclosures inculpating other members of
the gang or tell where they kept their
stolen horses. He repeatedly cursed his
captors declaring with his last gasp: Il
have not surrendered and don't give a
damn" He was only "a years old but had
long record of crimes against him.

HE KILLED A WOMAN,
And Was Hanged for His Foul
Deed Yesterday.

LEBANON, Tenn, June 4.-The crime
for which Jim Baxter was executed this
morning was committed on the 5th of last
September. About dusk on that evening,
Mrs Lane, an old lady, was sound lying on
the floor of her room unconscious, with
wound on her head, evidently inflicted with
large stone. She was too feeble for sew
eral days to give any account OF her injur-
ies but when allowed to talk, gave the
name of her assailant as Jim Baxter, and
when he was arrested and before her,
fully identified him. Andy Church was
arrested as an accessory and gave the par
ticulars of the affair. He had gone with
Baxter at his solicitation. A demand was
made for money and Mrs. Lane said she
had none. Baxter pushed her over on the
floor with one hand and dealt her a severe
blow with the rock in the other. Church
had run out, and called to Baxter that some
one was coming. Baxter then followed.
There was considerable talk of mob when
Baxter was arrested, but the good citizens
insisted On the law taking it's course, conf
dent that justice would be melted to the
murderer. An appeal was taken but the
supreme court affirmed the sentence. Gov.
Bate granted q respite which expired to-
day.

Chinese Indemnity sill Passed.

WASHINGTON, June 4.-The Chinese
indemnity bill was taken up and placed be-
fore the senate, and Mr. Cockrell took the
floor. He argued strongly against the bill.
He read at some length from the official cor
respondence OH the subject, to show that all
the persons engaged in the violence COM
planned of were foreigners. This CORE
spondence went also to show that these
foreigners as well as the Chinese complain
ing had been brought there under system
of contracts for the supply of cheap labor to
supplant American laborers. The Chinese
had been brought there as serfs with the
knowledge of the Chinese government to
supplant white labor, because the Chinese
are more like slaves. The distinguished
representative of the Chinese government,
Mr.. Cockrell said, had undertaken to sup.
press, apparently, or to ignore, the actual
origin of the disturbance, and SO had the
senators from New York. Ohio and Yer
mont. He read from the correspondence to

NEW YORK, June 4.-Ferdinand Ward,
who has heretofore seemed cheerful and
has improved in health during his stay in
Sing Sing, has of late become gloomy and
is pining away. The keepers attribute it
to his having learned of the petition which
is being circulated asking for the pardon of
j. d. Fish on the ground that he was
Wards victim and dupe. Ward has always
held that Fish was the leader in the trans
actions for which they are being punished,
and he seems to take the matter very much
to heart.
