WHY JACKSON WAS SHOT?
st. Joseph's Chief OF Police Blamed
as an Accessory.

as an Accessory.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, April &c. Special Tele-
gram to The BEE. An incident has devel-
oped to-day in connection with the shooting
of the colored porter, Lewis Jackson, by
caused an intense local excitement and has
resulted in the ST. Joseph newspapers and
the citizens generally, demanding the dis
missal of Chief of Police John Broder
Yesterday morning, when he was arrested,
jackson was taken to the private Office of
the chief, in company with Nowland and his
brother and the chief. Then began an at
tempt at intimidation. The doors were
locked. Nowland borrowed the revolver of
the chief, and advancing. grabbed Jackson
by the throat, forcing him to his knees,
pointing the revolver at him, the muzzle
almost against Jackson's face. He demanded
the name Of the party for whom he had car
ried the note, failing to secure which he
swore he would kill jackson. The negro
was terrified and began to yell as loudly as
possible, and to beg for help His cries
were heard all over the city hall, and across
on Second street. The torture was kept up
for almost an hour, Jackson steadily deny
ing that he knew the name of the man who
had given him the note. If Jackson should
die, an effort will be made to hold the chief
as an accessory to the killing. So far he has
declined to say anything in his defense.
Tonight the history of the insulting note
was learned. The note was written by a
fourteen-year- boy in wholesale tobacco
store, after Jackson's dictation. The por-
ter's idea was to learn if the young lady
would make appointments with men, and if
so, to add her name to the list he has for the
benefit Of those who ask for them.

organized next week, to run to and beyond
Aberdeen. These systems are sure to make
extensions, in the near future, in central

ternoon, but they would not allow him to see
rs wife ana he shot them. Garrison at

taken to Justice Campbell's Office for q hear
ing, but ne saved them the trouble by waiv-
Ing an examination, and he was put into a
carriage as quickly as possible and taken to
jail Mt Albion, for there were threats of
lynchng. Two or three men with rope
were trying to get hold of him, Cruelty to
his wife is said to be the cause of the di-

KANSAS CRY, April ga Guthrie special
says: Dispatches from Washington indicat-
ing that Secretary Noble would investigate
the action of United States officials who
claimed property Monday forenoon, has
created great CONSERVATION among that class,
and has filled the claim jumpers with joy.
Many deputy marshals who remained just
before noon on the 22nd are uneasy as are
those who were commissioned, but never
sworn in. United States Marshal Waldron,
when shown the dispatch, said:
mo overt act Of violation was committed
by these officials, as they have made perma-
nent improvements. They have not acquired
any title to lots upon which they have squat
ted, and any man can go upon them,
and, by making permanent improve
ments, acquire title. do not
know that they have violated their official
oaths, even in going upon lots before the
hour of noon. Town lots do not come under
the provisions of the presidents proclama-
ton. These officers entering the territory
in the line of duty had to pitch their tents
somewhere. / do not know their intention
IN bringing in extra tents and deputies, but
clearly, in my opinion, they have not vio-
lated their oaths."

Stories About the Ru-

Conflicting Stories About the Ru-
mored Cut in Engineers Wages.
CHICAGO, April 90 Special Telegram 10
The BEE. ]-Diljgent inquiry by reporter
to-day failed to show any basis for the
stories of contemplated reduction in the
wages of the engineers of the western roads.
That the engineers themselves fear that
something is going to drop soon, that some
thing being their wages, is evident. half
dozen brotherhood men are at present acting
as detectives in watching detective agency
on Dearborn street, where new engineers
were being hired, it was said. The reporter
called on George Hackney, superintendent OF
motive power of the Atchison, Topeka "
Santa Fe road, and asked him concerning the
report that the wages of engineers were to
be cut on that line.
'There is nothing in the story" said Mr.,
Hackney. IF the road contemplated any
such action, l certainly should know OF IL.
The business of the Santa Fe road IS pretty
good, and do not think that any lowering
of wages will be made."N
General McNulta, of the Wabash road,
authorized this statement: "a reduction in
the wages of our engineers has not been
thought of, nor will it be. We have a con-
tract with our men, who all belong to the
brotherhood, and we would not break 1t.
Besides, the Wabash is earning more money
now than it was year ago.. Rumors OF re.
other roads have been circulating, but we do
not give them much crcdence."
An officer of the Burlington said unoffic-
tally: "The wages of the ''Q'' engineers will
not be cut so far as know. Reductions in
the working force of the road have been
made so far as was practicable, but the
wages of the engineers were not touched"
The officials of the ST. Paul road also de-
MED that any reductions are in prospect.
The only evidence going to show that tine
roads are making preparations for trouble
with the engineers was CLEANED at the de
tective agency, mentioned above. The Hi
nois State Police and Detective agency has

fer not to state. Some time ago we made ar
rangements with the different managers to
supply them with engineers in an emergency,
and we now have tho names of large num-
ber on our books. If strike occurred on
any of the lines we could have a large mum
ber of men on the ground in short time"
