Alleged Confession Of Cole Younger

SALTWATER, Mimi, February COLT
has always been disputed fact as to
whether the James brothers were or
were not present at the Mortified
bank robbery, and the fact that no
strenuous efforts were made to bring
them to this state for trial is said to be
largely due to this fact. 1t is now said
that Cole Younger has lately admitte /
that Jesse James was in the gang. an
admission which is probably due 10 the
fact that Jesse is dead. Cole and Jesse,
1t is now known, were the two men
who went in to the First National
Bank at Mankato. Minnesota. q few
days before the Mortified affair
and asked TO have $50 bill changed,
after which they took careful survey
of the premises and went ont. James
Kelly, of Mankato, claimed at the time
to have recognized Jesse on the street
in that city, having known him in
Missouri. but the outlaw denied his
identity and the two disappeared. 1t is
supposed that ehis recognition was
what prevented them from making
their attack on the bank at Mankato
instead OF Mortified. The Younger
brothers, who are yet in the peniten-
tiary here, still refuse TO say whether
Frank James, who is still living, was
with them or not.

day afternoon Wesley Thomas, col

two white ladies at a point barely out
side the city limits, but was prevented
by another negro named Jake Little
ton, who shot and captured Thomas
and held him until the arrival of officers
from the city. The negro was lying in
wait for no person in particular, it
1t seems. He first accosted Miss Raft.
who screamed and ran away, escaping
to a place of safety. Hardly a minute
after and before Miss Raft could give
an alarm, Miss Katie Pinkston passed
and was at once set upon by the ruff
fan. She resisted fiercely, screaming
for help the while, which finally came
IN the shape of Jake LiLtIeton, who
was on the path a few hundred feet
away. He ran to the spot whence
the screams came, and not knowing
the nature OF the assault eXpoStulated
with the fiend, who tore the cloak off
the young lady. She ran to an adjoin-
ing negro cabin. where several negro
women were. Thomas struggled loose
from Littleton and pursued the flying

purpose. The negro women protected
Miss Pinkston with clubs until Little
ton, who followed, had arrived. when
he .grasped Thomas, who struck him
with an iron instrument. LiCtleton
then drew his pistol and fired on
Thomas, the bullet striking him in the
forehead. 1t flattened itself against
the negro's skull and knocked him
down. LIttleton thel tied the scoun-
drel securely and delivered him to
the officers. Thomas was jailed. but
as two prisoners have been taken from
jail here and hung within the last
two years, the deputy sheriff spirited
the prisoner away Anew minutes after
he had beed incarcerated. AS soon as
the nature of his crime became known
last night a crowd visited the jail and
were disappointed in finding the negro
gone. A searching party was at once
organized. If Thomas is in town
he will he found tonight and hanged.

Of Wyoming. closed up a gambling
house at Beesemer Monday night, re-
covered several Thousand dollars which
had been lost by her cowboys, aud then
saved the lives of the two gamblers,
just as the Infatuated cowboys were
going to string them up. She is known
as Cattle Kate and runs small
ranch near BessemPr. On Sunday she
was robbed of 81 500 by her own men
and her resentment WAS aroused
against the gamblers. Their room
at Bes>emer WAS crowded Mon
day night when Kate strobe
in, accompanied only by her foreman,
and both armed to the teeth. While
Kate covered the dealer with six
shOotes Mason. her foreman. secured
the box and showed the crowd that the
game was an unfair, or brace" one.
This enraged the cowboys and Farley
and BOdell were terribly beaten and
ordered to prepare for lynching. The
ropes were in sight when Cattle Kate"
interceded for the two wretches and
announced that she would divide their
money, amounting to several thousand
dollar, which she had secured.

Poorly conrtruatad Rridra.

KANSAS CITY, No., Feb. 2l.-The
county commissioners of Wyandotte
county, Kansas, recently appropriated
S25, 900 for q new superstructure Of
what il known as the southern bridge
over the Kansas river. While the con-
tractor was inspecting the bridge to-
day he removed the cap to one of the
piers and discovered that instead of
being oiled with the proper materials
it had been filled with sand. Further
investigation showed that even the
stone WAS crunbling, and it is said by
experts that the cost of the cOnstruc-
ton could not have exceeded 90, 900.
Tie bridge was built in 1856 and the
county paid $3.50, 900 for the work. 1t
Is not known as yet what has become
OF the original contractors i'm the
twenty-three years which have elapsed
since the work was done, but it is very
likely that steps will be taken to ascer-
tain their whereabouts.

sponsibility suddenly to. terminate its
diplomatic relations with any other
state. CT with any particular
minister of any other state. But it has
no claim to demand that the other
states shall make it self instrument of
that proceeding or concur in it, unless
that state is satisfied by reasons duly
produced of the justice of the grounds
on which the demand is made.
In conclusion he says: What view
her majesty's government would have
taken of Lord Sackville's action if the
president of the United States had laid
before them grave and weighty reasons
for his removal it would be superflu-
GUS now to consider. Private commu-
nications made by an ambassador in
good faith, have never. l believe, be-
fore been made the subject of inter-
national complaints and considerable
doubt seems to rest upon the precise
purport of the public statement made
by Lord Sackville to the newspaper re-
Dorters. But these were fair matters
for examination and discussion if any
discussion had been desired. It is suf-
ficieLt of the extra existing circum-
stances to say that there was nothing
in Lord Sackvllle's conduct to justify
so strikinga departure from the cir
cumSpect and deliberate procedure by
friendly states to mark their considera-
ton for each other.
The correspondence closes with let
ter from Mr.. Bayard to Mr.. Phelps
dated January 80, 1889, acknowledging
the receipt of the reply of the Marquis
of Salisbury to MIR. Phelps note in re-
lation to the case of Lord S2ekville.
Secretary Bayard IN his letter states
fully the views of this government in
respect to the grounds of Lord Sack
ville's dismissal. He quotes literally
from the MuTchison letter and sharply
criticises the reply of Lord Sackville
thereto. He says:
1.-The correspondence not only consti-
tuted an unprecedented interference in
our domestic politics, but it contained
gross impugnments of the president
public action, Hence, had the objec-
tionable conduct Lord Sackville end
ed with his reply to the Murchison let
ter the situation would have been suf-
ficiently serious, but in the public press
the impugnments of the action Of this
government was emphasized"

Smith was literally torn to atoms. In
the tool box had been stored $50 pounds

way Smiths entry into the box caused
the stuff to explode. but just how will

Excitement in the Indiana Legislature

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 2O.-A scene of
great excitement occurred in the senate
this morning caused by Johnson, re-
publican, persIsting in speaking over
his time. DOOrkeeper Bulger called
out that unless johnson took his seat
he would come down and seat him.
Immediately all the republican senators
arose and gathered about Johnson who
Indignantly challenged any doorkeeper
TO seat him. The excitement was great
and for time a general conflict seemed
imminent. When quiet was restored
Senator Dresser republican, announced
that a caucus would be held immedi-
ately after adjournment, and it is
thought all the republican senators
may conclude to resign their seats and
leave the senate without q quorum.
