CENTER SHOTS.
Two Burlington strikers Killed by One
of the New Firemen

CHICAGO, April 29tn.-The Meas special
from Galesburg, Ill, says The only thing
talked of here tonight is the killing of
Herbert Newell and the dangerous wound
ing of George Cable, both 90" strikers, by
Albert Hedberg, one of the new Q. fire.
men. The shooting occurred last night
close to Hedberg's house. The murderer is
in the county jail to guard which extra
precautions have been taken. While the
strikers say they intend to let the law take
its course, there is deep under current of
feeling that may produce violence.
Hedberg claims that he was assaulted by
Newell and Cable when on his way home
He drew revolver and fired twice The
first ball passed through Newells heart,
and the second struck Cable in the center
of the forehead, glancing around the skull
and issuing behind the ear.
There was but one eyewitness, the wife
of one of the new engineers. She partly
corroborates Hedberg's story. There is
considerable testimony against Hedberg to
be developed. 1t will be sworn that, while
in pool-room a short time before the
shooting, he made the threat he would
shoot any man who followed him. 1t is
alleged that Newell and Cable were on
their way to Alderman Erickson's house to
ask him to come to a caucus, ard that
they did not follow Hedburg, nor start a
row with him. Newell was one of the
oldest engineers on the Burlington road,
and leaves g family.

THE CHIEF JUsTICEsHIP.
All the Supreme Justices Ask FOR Fields
appointment.

tcoPy-ig, 1888. by The California associated Irssl
WAsHTNeroE, April 29th.-It is believed
that the President will appoint the Chief
Justice some day this week, and certainly
before the adjournment of the Court. Who
the fortunate man will be, nobody but the
President knows.
AL the Associate Justices have signed
request TO the President that he make JUS
tice Field Chief Justice. This was not
done at his solicitation, and he has not ex-
changed q word with the President on the
subject. Judge Field is perhaps more
pleased by the compliment paid hlni by his
associates Oh the bench than he wonld be
in receiving the appointment. Justice
Miller is the senior in point OF service, to
Justice Field, but he is Republican. By
promoting Field TO be Chief Justice and
appointing Democratic Associate Justice,
the party would, it is argued, receive
double compliment

On THE GROUND,
Squatters SquatJiug All Over the Great
Blackfeet Reservation.

GREAT FALLS (Mont.), April 29th.-The
news of the opening of the Blackfeet Reser-
vation is awaited impatiently here and
throughout Northern Montana. A large
number of persons have gone to the reser-
vation to locate ranches, mines and town
sites. The desirable valleys are fairly coy-
cred with tents, the greatest rush appar-
emily being TO the Big Sandy, the great
hay grounds. Soldiers, as well as civilians,
are on the ground, and when the news
comes that the bill is signed there is likely
to be rush.
Bullock valley, beyond Fort Assini-
boine, is all staked off, and the tents of
squatters may be seen all along the valley
OF Milk river. There is silver and lead
lode in the Paw mountains that was located
several years ago. 1t is understood that
several parties are on hand watching to
locate this mine, as well as to prospect for

events rapidly and reliably becomes
matter of some concern. Relays of horses
have been brought into use, and even
balloons have been pressed into service.
Both, however, have elements of uncer-
tainity, and in the latter case great danger.
1t is now proposed to utilize the winged
speed and the almost human intelligence
of the
CARRIER PIGEONS AS NEws-MEssENGERs.
And not less novel and interesting
is the occasion for which these birds
are to be used. An expedition has been
organized. the object of which will be to
save to the world what membsrs remain of
the once numerous bison family of the
great plains. 1t has been determined that
of the millions that once roamed on the
prairies of the far West, only seventy-fve
or hundred remain, and these are located
in the extreme southwestern portion OF
Texas, hundreds of miles from the nearest
habitation of man.
THE FOUNDER OF WICHITA AS LEADER.
This expedition, which is to start in
few days, is under the leadership of C. ].
Jones, or " Buffalo y Jones, as he is called,
from his earlier habits in connection with
the big monarch of the plains. The re-
mainder of this band will be composed of
six experienced plainsmen and cowboys
Shepherd dogs and several bloodhounds
will accompany the party, whose business
it will be to keep vigilant watch on the
buffalo after they shall have been rounded
up"
THE LEADING PURPOSE
Of the expedition is to perpetuate species
of animals which is thoroughly typical of
American animal life, one of the controll-
ing ideas of the trip being TO kill none of
the animals while corralling them, nor
after their capture. A representative of the
Times will accompany the expedition, and
his duties will be to reduce the latest oc-
currences to writing, on the thinnest of
manifold paper, attach it to the feathery
messenger and bid it an affectionate good
bye and safe and speedy journey.
THE PIGEONS
viii have been homed telegraph station
nearest the "seat of war" and owing to
their instincts they will at once make
correct flight for this point, no matter
where they are freed. Arriving at the sta
ton the birds will be relieved of their
burden by the telegraph operator, and the
news thus brought will be wired to the
Chicago Times, and through the medium of
the Associated Press to all quartere of the
globe, telling the sad story of the last of
the wild buffaloes, and describing the last
buffalo hunt that will ever be made.

PowING AND PLANTING.
New England Farmers Now at Work
Planting Their Crops,

WASHINGTON, April 29th.-The weather
and crop bulletin for the past week saws
Owing to the general deficiency of rain,
the weather the past week has affected
growing crops unfavorably. Rain is es-
peclaliy needed in the winter wheat Sec
tions and in the northern portions of the
Gulf States. Frosts occurred in Kentucky,
Eastern Tennessee, North Carolina, South
Carolina and the middle Atlantic States
during the week, which probably injured
vegetables and fruits. Reports from Kan
sas, Minnesota and Western Missouri indi-
cate that the weather has been favorable in
these sections, and that farm work is well
advanced. The weather is reported as
favorable for farm work in New England,
where plowing and planting are in pro-
gress y
