OUTLAWS OF the WEST.
A Weeks History Of Robbery and
Murder.

TALEQUAH, /. tt, Jan. 31.-Joseph
Thompson, negro condemned to be hanged,
broke out of the national prison at Talequah
Indian Territory, last Wednesday and took
refuge with Greek Indian by the name of
Comosky who was also an escaped convict
under penalty Of death. When the sheriff
on Friday night demanded the men to come
out they replied with volley from Winch
esters, which instantly killed Jack Cloudy.
A battle ensued in which deputy named
Hay was killed and woman and a boy in
hut fatally shot. One of the refugees was
also shot but escaped. This makes seven
lives sacrificed by the outlaws W ho are still
at large.
A desperate outrage was committed Satur-
day night in Kinishi mountain just inside
Indian Territory. A wealthy cattle man
named Williamson lives near Spring station,
and about midnight his home was entered by
five masked robbers who seized and bound
him and his wife, and demanded $4,000
They then held Williamson's hands on hot
stove until he was unconscious. Mrs. Will
Hanson then gave the robbers $500 and de-
posit check for the rest. Williamson's in
juries are thought to be fatal. A posse is af-
ter the thieves.
ST. LOUIS, Jan. 31.-William Estes, IS
years old, shot and instantly killed William
Blakely also aged IS, at Wallace, Missouri,
Sunday night. The murder took place at the
front door of the Christian church. Blakely
was the lover of Estes's sister and was OBJ
jectionable to the girls family. Miss Estes
and Blakely attended church together and
when they came out after the service they
were met by young Estes and his father,
both of whom began firing at Blakely
Blakely returned the fire wounding the old
man in the shoulder Then the son shot
Blakely dead. The father and son have fleda

MILLIONAIRE PRODUCE DEALERS
A Gigantic Scheme to Supply the
Markets of England.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-The Washington
Republican says today that information has
been received in that city in regard to gi-
gantic Anglo-American commercial scheme,
in which several American millonaires, the
Rothschilds, the Duke of Devonshire, the
Duke of Westminster and others are said to
be concerned.
1t has been ascertained that the promoters
propose to erect granaries, warehouses, a
pork-curing establishment, and cheese and
butter factory on sites convenient to several
great lines of railroad leading into Chicago
All kinds Of American produce, such as -four
bacon, cheese, butter and fruits of every de-
scription, as well as live stock. are to be car
ried to Chicago, and thence by the Baltimore
81 Ohio railroad to New York A bridge
will be built connecting the mainland with
Staten Island, where large docks will be con-
structed by syndicate of capitalists from
New York. The produce of the United
States will be carried by steamers specially
built for the company, and landed at Barrow,
in Furness, England. The Duke OF Devon
shire is the principal proprietor OF the land
in this district, besides being the president
of the Furness railway.
At Barrow, the company propose building
alongside the docks, abattoirs for slaughter
ing cattle Immediately after landing, and
tanneries for preparing hides and factories
for making oleomargarine. Large ware
houses are also to be erected at Barrow, and
thence the food products will be distributed
throughout Great Britain by means of retail
stores, which will be opened in all the lead
ing towns in order to supply consumers di-
rect without incurring any middle mems
charges.
The capital to be invested in the enterprise
will, 1t is said, amount to many millions of
dollars. Agents have been sent to this
country, and are now making the necessary
arrangements to commence operations in the
spring.

KENNEsEc ICE.
What a Washington Reporter Learns
Of Operations in Maine.

WASHINGTON, Jan 31.-"Don't you think
from the present prospects, we will have
plenty of ice next summer" asked a report
er of Mr. Chas. B. Church, president of the
Independent Ice Company of Washington.
"Yes," said Mr.. Church, "the season thus
far gives great promise. We commenced
harvesting on the 10th of this month, with
large force of men and horses on the Kenne-
bee and Boothbay, Maine. The ice thus far
gathered is of excellent quality, being from
IA to II inches thick, and very transparent.
We have a storage capacity on the Kennebec
and at Boothbay of 60,oOO tons, and if the
weather is at all favorable, expect to finish
about the 10th of February"
The reporter found Mr.. T. A. Lambert,
president of the Great Falls Ice Company, in
his Office on Fifth street. 1--WE commenced
cutting" said Mr.. Lambert, last week, and
are cutting ice from 16 to Is inches thick, OF
unusual transparency. We have an ice
house on the east bank of the Kennebec riv-
err at Pittston, with a capacity of 80, 900 tons,
and another, just below, at South Gardiner,
ON the west bank, with capacity OF lS,OOO
tons. We will finish, provided everything
runs smoothly, in about two weeks" when
ice, Mr.. Lambert said: 81 cannot see how
manufactured ice will ever take the place OF
natural ice. In the first place it is not near
as hard, and consequently, can't last as long long
the natural ice. The reason the kenneDec
ice is preferable is on account Of its & unusual @
hardness and great transparency. Ihe hard-
ness is due to the rapidity of the flow OF the
river, which expels all the particles of air
thereby allowing the water to freeze solldly
and the transparency, or its clearness, is due
to the character of the bed over which the
river flows"
found at his home on Virginia avenue. When
asked what were the prospects for big har-
vest, he answered. First rate. We COM
menced cutting ON our field at Pennington,
which is on the Kennebec, last Friday, with
a large force, and expect to finish in about
month. The capacity of our ice houses is
10000 tons, and we generally fill them before
the 10Th of February. When asked what
his opinion was regarding manufactured ice,
he said: "It's an established fact that it's
not as lasting, and as 1t cannot be manufac-
tured for any less than natural ice, ! canuot
see how it can possibly supersede it"
