The Youthful Knobber Freely Admits
His Guilt,

His Guilt,
OZARK, Mo-, May 26.--lSpecial to The
BEE THE confession Of William Walker,
just made public here, is regarded as entirely
correct, SO far as the youthful Knobber's
knowledge of the tragedy goes. He freely
admits that he was the principal actor in the
fearful scene, but claims that his father,
David Walker, was really in ignorance Of
the intention to assault the Edens. How
ever correct this may be, it is clearly known
that David Walker was determined to ma ke
his band of regulators feared from one end
of Christian county to the other, though he
was probably too cautious 10 make the as.
sault on the Edens at the time 1t was precp-
itated by some of his less prudent fol-
lowers ~
Only week before the Edens massacre
Walker was reasoned with by one of his
Knobber friends and urged 20 deslst from
whipping raids, which had grown to be Of

The story recently published about the
eventful wanderings of Wiley Matthews,
and his final drowning in the War Eagle
river, in Arkansas, is pure nonsense. Wiley
Matthews wife is frequently seen at Dykes
store, little trading point on the Swan
river, in Taney county, q place where she
has neither relations nor employment, and
it is morally certain tnat Wiley is secreted
in some of the sharp gorges of The adjacent
hills, where human footsteps seldom tread.

LIE oARoN's TREACHERY.
He Did Not Become n British Spy
Until Lately.

Until Lately.
JOLIET, H., May 26.-TSpecial Telegram
to THE BEE. Great interest has been
aroused in Joliet by the publication of por-
tions of the testimony of LIE Caron, the spy,
relative to his initiation into the Clan-na-
Gael.
LIE Caron testified that he was initiated by
Alexander Sullivan in Chicago. In doing
this Sullivan had broken the rules of the
order, LIE Caron not being of Irish extrac-
tion.
A local paper publishes an interview with
John T. Donahoe, one Of the prominent
Irishmen of this city, concerning the reports
of LIE Caron's initiation. Mr.. Donahoe's
answer was complete refutation of the
report. ''The leader in question had
nothing whatever to do with LIE Caron's in
itiation in the Clan-na-Gael," said he posi-
lively. ''Le Caron was initiated into the
Clan ma Gael in Braidwood, in the year 1880,
by William O'Callaghan of this city. 1t was
the first Clan .na-Gael camp in that place,
and was organized by Mr.. O'Csllaghan assis-
ted by John Ryan, of Joliet, then members
of a Joliet camp of the same order. The first
suggestion of LIE Caron, as an eligible person
for membership came from eX-Justice Will
liam Stapleton, of Joliet Mr.. Stapleton has
told me of this himself. O'Callaghan and Ryan
were the only members present from Joliet
to organize the meeting Fifteen or twenty
of the Braidwood men, who had been selected
beforehand, were present to become initiated.
They were all supposed to be true men, and
no one entertained any suspicion against lie
Caron. When the work of organizing was
completed LIE Caron was chosen president of
the camp, by a unanimous vote, as remem-
ber it. He remained its presiding officer for
some time; just how long cannot say. l
haven't belonged to the organization for a
long time"
Donahoe does not believe LIE Caron be-
came traitor until shortly before the Par
nell trial began. The fact that LIE Caron
worked hard for living, and at times was
sorely pressed for money was evidence to
Donahoe that he was not receiving British
gold. The last year or two prior to his de-
parture, LIE Caron was in very poor circum-
stances, and Donahoe is of the opinion that
he saw a chance to make large sum of
money by turning lnformer and so became a
traitor.

Eloping Editor Moore Tires Of His
Paramour and Leaves Her.

Paramour and Leaves Her.
ST. LOUIS, May ga dispatch to the
Globe Democrat from New York says:
Henry w. Moore and Mrs. John w. Norton
have parted. He left her last Thursday.
According to his friends, when Moore left
st. Louis with Mrs, Norton, he did it under
the idea, whether right or wrong, that as he
had caused the woman's downfall, it was his
duty to stand by her. He was madly in love
with her. Both expected that divorces
would set them free and then they intended
to be married
On September % last, however, he came
home from his Office about 10 o'clock in the
evening, and found Mrs. Norton absent. He
sat on the stoop and waited until shortly
after o'clock in the morning, when a car
riage containing Mrs. Norton and man
prove dn about block away and she got out
and came to the house. She had been drink
ing heavily Of champagne. Moore got her in
the house and a terrible scene ensued. The
next morning he demanded an explanation and
she said she had been spending the evening
with lady friend, whose brother-n-law had
brought her home. She offered to take any
oath he desired that she had not been un-
faithful to him, and thereupon said:
81 hope my mothers soul may be in hell
and remain there forever If am not telling the
truth; so help me God"
Moore then believed her. He found later
that she had spent the evening with steam
boat clerk, whom she met when on her way
to Canada to join Moore But on her pro-
testaton that she would never deceive him
again he forgave her. Then he detected her
in liason with a roomcr in fiat, which
they rented on East Forty eighth street.
Moore thereupon left her. but yielded to her
pleadings and the intercesson of friends,
and went to living with her again, but on
Thursday last upon receiving renewed evi.
dence of her infidelity, packed his trunk and
left, leaving Mrs. Norton to go her own way.
Moore, it is said, never wrote of his troubles
to his ST. Louis friends, but always told them
that he was living happily.

to The BEE. Three million five hundred
thousand acres of the finest land IN Dakota,
the Sisseton Indian and military reserva-
tions, are soon to be thrown open for settle

Cured when Oklahoma was declared ready

quiet movement toward the new El Dorado

Dakota counties, and when the time arrives
for entering the reservations several thou
sand sturdy boomers will be on hand to make
early selections. The military reservation,
set apart in 1864 for the use of United States
troops, comprises 100000 acres, and will be
proclaimed open on the lst of June The In
dian reservation, which contains little
more than three million acres, will be ready
to be sliced uD into tracts of 100 acres, II is
expected, about the lst of August. This de-
pends on the rapidity with which the red

acres each and as soon as they make their sc
lections the president will be notified and he
will issue an order opening the remaining
