COOL, WHOLESALE ROBBERY
The Z. S. Marshal at Salt Lake CITY
Coming Money.
The Government Swindled Ont of a
Large Amount.
County Officials Also Enriching
Themselves Unlawfully.

SALT LAKE, Dec. 1.-THE grand jury In
the third district court this afternoon made
a report. 1t shows it has been the prac-
tice of the q. S. marshal to charge the
penitentiary % to 40 cents per gallon for
milk from the COWS kept there and cared
for by prison labor. and fed principally
from food raised upon the reservation or
paid for by the government. These milk
vouchers since 1882 have amounted to
$4,000. The marshal has also been selling
to the penltentlary potatoes raised on the
reservation by convict labor. Other
fruitful sources of revenue for
him were team hire for the deputies
hauling prisoners to and from the peni-
tiary, etc. The marshall also supports,
partly from public supplies and table leav-
ings, twelve mich COWS, 100 hogs and two
extra horses. In one year one team. for
which the government provided a driver.
earned the sum of $1,000. The jury says
for $500 the government could provide
itself with horses, wagons and harness, to
perform all this service, and for 500 adj
ditional, could purchase two good cows,
sufficient to furnish all the milk necessary
for the penitentiary, and it would
seem as though it were economy to
do this. The jury also complains that
the marshal has shown unusual favors
to the prisoners convicted of unlawful CO.
habitation. The supplies now furnished
the penitentiary are twenty-five per cent.
in excess of its needs, and at a price
twenty-five per cent. too high. The jury
also investigated the administration of the
county affairs, and make a sensational re-
port thereon. The road work has received
in five years S1I4.000, and there are no
bids IN the work and no proper vouchers.
The county has sunk in canals S122,0 900
and has no annals save a waste ditch, and
have nothing to show for the money. The
collectors defalcations are severely COM
mented upon. The county has lost
$500 by two collectors and
81 900 through a clerk. The report says
the county officials deal with themselves
as a business firm for supplies and show
favoritism to Mormon prisoners. The
county court has also voted away valuable
franchises for no public consideration.
Officers have been trading with each other
for supplies and entering into partnership
with spoilers, dividing with them fines
imposed. The city has also paid to the
bogus hydraulic canal company 1857 for
an interest i'll the Jordan river and dam,
which the company never owned, but
which the county obligingly bonded over
to the city, the county not receiving a
cent of the money. The report in closing
charges that the bulk ofthis fund found
its way into the pockets of the city and
county officials.

WOULD LIKE TO SEE BILL.
Ruffa1o Bill Failed to Garry Out Hi
Agreement in Wall Street.

New YORK, Dec. 14.-The Evening
Sun says that there is a syndicate of men
in this city who would be pleased to see
Buffalo Bill and the accounts of the Wild
West show, which has been one of the at
fractions of the Paris exposition. 1t is al
legged that about a year ago Buffalo Bill
and T. C. Crawford appeared in Wall
street to organize a syndicate to float the
show across the ocean. They
wanted $3.50. 900, and their proposition
that the subscribers should receive
every night 80 per cent. of the gross re-
ceipts and be allowed to have an agent on
the spot to take the money. Among
others who are interested In the scheme
was Commodore Bateman. He helped
them organize the syndicate and induced
several of his friends to subscribe to the
pool. There was considerable haggling
about drawing up the contract but finally
the show organized and went across with
out any agent to take charge of the syndi-
Gates percentage. According to the Sun
the syndicate has not received a single
dollar which represents a portion of the
gate receipts and have got back only
thirty per cent. of the principal which was
invested by it. There is every reason to
believe that In its earning capacity the
show met all the expectations of Buffalo
Bill and took In a sufficient amount of

also conceived and put into opposition the
movement against the famous ~organiza-
ton ''Mollie Maguires. In the trials
which followed this movement Gowen was
one of the counsel for the commonwealth.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. IA The news of
Franklin B. Gowen death in Washing
ton caused a great sensation here. Fran
els |. Gowen, a nephew of the ex-railroad
president, and who has alaw office In this
city, was dazed, and could scarcely recov-
er from the shock for a few minutes. Il
can form no idea" said he. ''of what mo-
tive actcated him to take his life" Mr..
Gowen left for Washington at five o'clock
this afternoon for the purpose of bringing
the body to Philadelphia. Financial
difficulties are not suggested as INCENTIVE
for the deed. Gowen has been estimated
as worth between $500, 900 and $500, 900,
and the announcement that he committed
suicide caused the greatest surprise in
financial circles. Il had never had any
thing to startle me before, said President
Cummings, of the Girard National bank,
mo one viii ever convince me that Gowen
took his own life. / never knew Gowen
TO carry a pistol and you can rest assured
if he lost his life through a pistol shot
wound it was inflicted by accident and not
by design.

money not only to pay the thirty per cent.
gross receipts nightly. but to pay back
the principal. The members of
the syndicate here had perfect
confidence In the honesty of
Buffalo Bill. They say In his business re-
lations with everybody on this side he has
always been square, but that he is not a
good judge of men and liable to be i'm
posed upon by sharpers who have a good
address. They think it is possible that
some of his representatives may be respon-
sible for this failure to make good the
promise on which the syndicate was or
ganized, and it is for that reason they are
anxious to see Buffalo Bill and the books
wherein are kept his accounts.

WONDER AT HIS ABSENCE.
C. c. Davis Unfortunate SpecuIations Will
Cause Him Trouble.

CHICAGO, Dec. IA local paper to-day
devoted much of its space to the affairs of
G. c. Davis, doing business under the
name of the New England Shoe Co., who
last Tuesday confessed judgment to two
persons and surrendered his stock to the
sheriff. 1t is alleged his debts amount to
800, 900 contracted on stock all of
which is due on Jan. L. The creditors are
numerous. 1t is charged that most of the
goods have been disposed of at less han
the cost price. Morrow, Shoe & Co., have
brought suit charging fraud, etc., and
Judge Gresham today appointed a provis-
ional receiver. Davis son said this after
noon that his father had left the city for
his health but denied emphatically the
stories of fraud. His father, he said, had
been making unfortunate speculations on
the board of trade.

HAVE CoLLOM's PARTNER.
Julius Schutt Arrested for Forgery at
Minneapolis.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Dec. 12.-Julius
Schultz, a well known money lender and
real estate man, was arrested today on a
bench warrant from the district court.
He was indicted by the last grand jury for
crime of J. Frank COLON, who was tried
a short time ago for forging the name of
John 7. BlaiSdell to notes a~ggregating over
5000, 900, and whose trial resulted in the
disagreement of the jury. During the
trial of COLON it was repeatedly limited
that someone beside the defendant was
concerned in the alleged forgeries. There
seemed to be a dark suspicion somewhere
that Schutt knew more than he would tell.
The charge against Schultz is that he
stamped above the name of J. T. Blaisdell
on the backs of promissory notes the words
Il hereby waive demand, protest and
notice of n~on-payment and for value re-
ceived I guarantee the payment of within
note"

MAY ASSERT HER POWER.
England Incensed at the Action of the
Portuguese Officer.

LONDON, Dec. 14.-Papers here express
much indignation at the action of the
Portuguese officer, Pinto, in making war on
the Makololo tribe in Africa, in violation
of British interests.
The Globe says: The conduct of Portu-
gal is practically casus belli. England
does not relish warning with contempt
bles, but if they become arrogant, insult
ing or aggressive beyond endurance she
will not hesitate to make her power felt
The British feet might exercise a gentle
pressure at Lisbon. A wave of the vice
