nittee is .. w. Potter, chairman, A. j.

The Career of a Brilliant Son of Iowa Now

CHICAGO, May 4 &C. b. Eshelman, who
by personating his uncle, Reuben Eshelman,
well-to-do merchant Of Mount Pleasant,
Iowa, induced the Malone Pants company
Of Malone, ". Y, 20 send hia< Un credit 800
pairs of fine pants, was arrested here to-
day. AS a travelling dealer in pants, Es-
helman made a brilliant success, disposing
of the whole stock through northern L.
linois at fancy prices. With the proceeds
he went into wheat at Chicago, but at the
wrong time, losing Sl,500 in day. He
stole ride to CouHcil Bluffs and joined
the Salvation Army. He was made captain
within two weeks and then got drunk and
was dropped by the army just twenty four
hours before the detectives reached town.
AT Duluth he made enough money as a
vender of alleged eye water and tooth
powder to bring him to Chicago. The
culprit had employment on 3 lake steamer
and was about TO leave port when the Off
GERS pounced upon him. Eshleman has been
out of the penitentiary only since last fall,
when he completed atwo years sentence in
Missouri for attempting at 81. Joseph to
indulge without funds his penehant for

The Sum Paid P. w. Meadow by Hell
ena Capitalists for the Spotted
Horse Mine.
a. NJ. Hotter and NJ. {. Downs Con-
cIude the Deal Only After a
Personal Investigation.
May 2o--How Other Helena People
Once Lost the Mine.

GREAT FALLS, May Especial 10 the
Independent. IA Lewistown dispatch 10
the Tribune says: p. w. Meadow, the
owner of the Spotted Horse mine, writes
from Maiden Tuesday to the Argus saying
that ''the mine is sold for $500, 900 and the
parties will take possession about May 20.
The company is composed of thorough
mining men. who have millions at their
command The ore shutes in the Spotted
Horse are large and strong and il will un-
douotedly be the best gold produce in
Montana, if not in the northwest. He
says also that there is good
coal near Maiden. A. NJ. Hotter
and NJ. E. Downs, the former
President of the Maginnis Mining Co, the
latter financial agent of the Jay Gould
Mining Co., were in Maiden last week in
specting the Spotted Horse and Maginnis
mines. 1t is the Jay Gould Co who have
bought the Spotted Horse mine. That
company will also, II is said, absorb the
Maginnis Co. and operate the whole group
of mines around Gold Hill Mr.. Downs
spent several days taking battery samples,
etc, at the mill and measuring the ore IN
the mine, leaving for Helena Monday. He
reports enough in sight TO yield large
portion, If not all, of the purchase money.
Ii is expected that the Jay Gould people
will begin operations about May 20. 1t is
their intention to overhaul and enlarge the
present mill Immediately, to put up twenty
stamps, an air compressor, sink shaft at
the mine several hundred feet, and de-
velop the property in every way.
The sale is regarded here as
another proof of the growing impor-
tance of the mining interests of north Mon
tana- The management of this mine has
largely devolved on Mrs. Meadow, the
wife of the owner, who was an invalid, but
is now in better health. The ore is in part
of dark blue color, carrying abundance of
free gold. About four years ago the mine
was sold 70 Helena parties for $1,000. but
some hitch as to the title arose and the sale
was not carried into effect. Since then the
mine has been developed on a large scale
and its produetiveness demonstrated. The
monthly yield has been at times $4,000.

Attorney General Miller Explains the Pres
idenrs Views Capital Punishment.
WASHINGTON, May 4-Attorney Gen
eral Miller was questioned to-day in regard
to the presidents views on the subject Of
capital punishment, his recent acts of
clemency to men under sentence OF death
at Washington having given rise TO the i'm
preston that he was opposed to it. Mr..
Miller said: 1.-The president Is not opposed
to capital punishment, and in the murder
cases referred to did nothing more or less
than he should have done. He has none of
that maudltn sympathy which will inter
fere with the just course of law, but he will
see that a murderer's guilt is fully esiab-
lished before the extreme penalty is put
into operation l conceded with the presi-
dent as to the commutation of Green's sem
tence, and agreed with him as to the re-
spites which have been granted Briggs and
Colbert. What are my views on capital
punishment? / favor IL in all cases where
the crime is proven beyond doubt"

woeful State of Affairs at the PubIics In
sane Asylum.
CHICAGO, May 4.-The grand jury to-day
indicted Superintendent Kiernan and four
attendants of the insane asylum for murder
and abusing patient Robert Burns, causing
his death within few days after his ad-
mission to the asylum.
Contrary to expectation the grand jury to-
day completed its work without indicting
DIR. Tiernan, the superintendent of the
Cook county insane asylum, as acces-
sorry to the murder of Lunstic Burns, fer
which three asylum attendants are new
awaiting trial. In an extended report on
the condition of the asylum the jury attrib-
utes most of the evils there to the extreme
ly overcrowded condition of the institution
and the inadequate number of attendants.
SO horrible Is the overcrowding, the report
says, that a large number of inmates are
obliged TO sleep two in a bed three feet IN
width, and the beds havesto be so located
for lack of room that many times the at
tendants, particularly in the female wards,
must crawl over the patients in one bed 20

COLES CHARGE.

The Illegal Taking of Land in Oklahoma
a. Told to the Attorney-GsnersI.
WASHINGTON, May 4-George w. Cole,
of Chicago, who was in Oklahoma when
that territory was thrown open TO settle
ment, had a conference with the attorney
general this afternoon in regard to conduct
of government officers on that occasion.
According To his statement Marshal Jones.
of Kansas, and nearly all of his 700 depu-
ties, took illegal advantage OF their official
position 10 get possession of choice lands.
Cole said he was on the spot and is pre-
pared to substantiate his charges against
Marshal Jones ond his deputies. He said
further that Marshal Needles and his dep
uiies of the Oklahoma district were alleged
TO be equally culpable in the matter, but as
he was not personally cognizant of the
facts so far as these officials were con-
cerned, he did not care to be respon-
sibIe for the charges against them.
He had seen enough, however. during his
stay of two days in the territory to con-
vince him that certain persons had been
given unfair advantages in securing claims
and he believed il 10 be his duty to bring
the matter To the attention of the proper
authorities. The attorney general assured
him the matter would be thoroughly inves-
tigated. He said he had already heard
enough to satisfy him that some crooked
business had been perpetrated in Okla
homa, and he was determined the offenders
should be brought TO justice II possible.

Foreign and American Copper Producers
Unable to Come to Terms.
BosroN, May 4.-The Herald has a three
column cable from Paris on the failure of
thi copper conference. The Rio Tinto
company insists that the American mines
should send only twenty per cent of their
surplus copper to Europe, a proposition
Col. Livermore, representing the Calumet
and Hecla companies would not agree to.

or verbal, and it broke up without fixing
any price. The American committee left
Paris in disgust and will sail for New York
