CATTLE KINGS ROBBED.
Cherokee Indians Take Possession
of Buildings on the Strip.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Nov. 2O.-Secres
tary John A. Blair. of the Cherokee
Live Stock association. is in the city,
and tells startling story of ruin and
desolation now in order in the strip. He
expressed the opinion this morning THAI
within thirty days from the time the
strip is vacated by the ranchmen all the
improvements made there will be pos
sessed by thieves from Oklahoma and
Kansas, unless the government orders
ont the troops to protect the property
The terms of the lease made with the
CherokeeS by the live stock association
provides that all permanent improve
InentS shall revert to the use and
ownership of the Cherokees when the
cattlemen Vacate the land The can
collation. Of the lease by the government
leaves the Indians in possession ofathe
improvements. Already three-fourths of
the ranch buildings, stables and out
houses and fences have been torn down
and carried away. The value of the
entire Improvements is placed by Mr..
B lair at S5O0,000. The suit of the Cher
okee Strip Live Stock Association
against J. r. Stoller, was tried here to-
day in Judge Stover's court. Stoiler
was tenant on the strip leased from
the Cherokee Indians by the asSocia-
ton. He declined to pay last years
rent OH the ground that the associations
lease was invalid, inasmuch as the
United States government aud not the
Indians owned the land. The amount
involved in the suit was only 5000, but
its Importance was great in that it
brought forth legal decision as to the
title to the land. After the evidence
had been put in Judge Stover instructed
the jury to find for the plaintiff. In
his instructions the judge declared the
associations lease with the Indians to
be valid one and declared them to be
the owners of the strip. On the
strength of this decision the association
will now sue the United States govern
ment for damages, in sum aggregating
millions of dollars. The damage has
resulted, they claim, by reason of the
government having elected them from
the strip two years before their lease
expired, thus forcing 4 premature mar
keting of their cattle.

MARKS Is A CLEVER THIEF.
An Ex-Bank Clerk Steals $4,000

ROCHESTER,. N. Y, Nov. 90. Moses
S. Marks, young man living at 264
Central avenue, was employed in the

name Of William Augustus Waters,
cashier of the Flour City bank. This
morning Marks went to the American
Express office, and upon the arrival of
the package OF money from New York,
signed for it, took the money away and
disappeared. The robber and forgery
was discovered. When Cashier Waters
received his morning mail to-day, ana
found in it q letter from the National
Bank OF Commerce advising him of the
money sent, he was taken COM
dered the money. He sent at once to
the express office to learn whether the
money was there. The express COM
pany said the money had been given to
Marks as it supposed he was still con-
nected with the bank. 1t was then that
the forgery and robbery was discovered.
Word was sent to police Headquarters,
and Chief Payden Immediately started
officers to work ON the case. In short
time the entire detective force was look
ing for Marks. At the American EX-
press Office the officials state that they
had been told by the detectives to say
nothing about the matter. Cashier
Waters stated that never before had
money sent by express to the bank been
delivered to representative of tie

always sent to the bank. ''We send

700 TIRED TO DANCE.
FwO Kettles Band of Sioux Don't
Want Amy Messiah Business.


PIERRE, S. D., Nov. 20.-Capt. Nor
vile, special agent of the government
stationed here to adjudicate Indian
claims, to-day paid a visit to the Two
Kettle tribe of Sioux living some dis
lance up Bad river. These Indians are
partly civilized and the report was cir
culated that they were deserting their
homes to go to the camps of Hump and
Big Foot and join the hoStiles in ghost
dances. When the captain found these
fellows they positively denied it and
made affidavit TO that effect. The cap
.ain next waited upon Crow Eagle and
Hemp Rib, the two head men of the
band, and they told the captain that
emissaries had visited them from the
Cherry Creek Indians, and one evening
while they were having pleasant little
dance, one of Big FoOt's men came in
and addressed them, and told them
about the new Christ and how he is
going TO lead the Indians into happi-
ness and destroy the whites. He said
this was going to happen, and wanted
them TO join i'll the dance. They told him
they would not go, and neither had
they been there. They told the captain
they wished he would have it said in
the Pierre papers that they were not
going to take up the Messiah craze.
These Indians stand in great fear of
hostlles, and said they were going into
hiding Immediately until the great
father sent his soldiers to protect them.
The captain also learned that White
Buffalo, a son of Sitting Bull, who is
with the Two Kettle band, had recently
had his star taken from him because he
would not make the arrest of an Indian
Messiah agent, who was a bosom friend
of his. He sent word to his father
stating that he was under arrest because
he was son of Sitting Bull.

late decline in values. The Rockefellers
bought it at the request of Jay Gould.
They have not hitherto engaged in rail

great that, once having embarked in
railroad affairs, it is in their power to
dominate them. There is a scheme on
foot to provide connections for the
Northern Pacific which will make it an
uninterrupted rail line from the Allan
tic to the Pacific. BY its alliance with
the Wisconsin Central it already reaches
from Puget Sound to Chicago, and its
route thence, it is said, will be by way

end attached near the breast. When
this flap of cuticle was prepared the
children were laid together on table
and the flap was firmly fastened with
stitches to the right side of the injured

bandaged together in such a way as to
prevent them breaking their Siamese
bond. If this preliminary operation is
successful the remaining portion of the

RUN DOWN IN A BAGNIO.
Marks Didn't Have Time to Spend
Much Money

UTICA, n. Y, Nov. 2O.-As soon as
informed of the robbery, Chief Dag
well, of the Utica police, set his men to
work just as if he knew the robber to
be in this city. The careful description
given of Marks to the police was
the means of running him down.
At 5 O'Clock this evening a telephone
message called Detective Cleveland to
the st. James hotel, where the proprie-
tor. n. q. Patton, remembered a guest
answering the description, who regis
tered as Nj. Marrow, of New York. and
was shown to room. NARROW left his
Satchei in his room and left the hotel.
A short time afterward messenger
boy came for the key, and with
money to pay Marlow's bill, and in
structions TO get the satchel. When
asked where NARROW was, he gave the
number of house of ill-fame. The
officers were in doubt as to the man. but
found that the only train which could
have brought the robber to Utica TO
register at the ST. James at 1890
was No. Is, the Southwestern limited,
which leaves Rochester at $50 a. m.-
twenty minutes before Marks received
the money. 1t was found, however, that
the train was late and that Marks could
have got the money and taken that train
at Rochester. The messenger boy was,
examined, but had not seen the man
having been sent by the proprietress of
the house.
In the meantime Chief Dagwen re-
celved telegram from Supt Cleary, of
Rochester, stating that Marks wore
black false whiskers the night before
in place of ill-fame there. This gave
another clue. The Utica officers
went at once to the resort ON
Liberty street and entered it..
The proprletreSs protested that
the man had left with one of the girls
but his satchel was there. The detect
ives seized the satchel, sprang the lock.

ASHLAND, Wis, Nov. 20.-There are
substantial indications in this vicinity
of a discovery which positively gives
promise of being productive of greater
gains than iron. For some time past a
man owning property on Pinckee
range, near Mellen, has notified that
number of deer have been attracted to a
stream on his premises, and also seemed
to eat the dirt on his land.
He picked up a quantity of
the dirt thinking in the first
instance that it was ore and submitted
it to l.. E. Dunham. chemist of the
Ashland Iron and Steel company. and
DR.. John Madden for analysis. These
gentlemen are so frequently asked to
examine specimens of alleged ore that
they paid no particular attention to the
matter, not even asking the mans
name. In the course of the analysis
the discovery was made that the
dirt contained at least 80 per
cent of absolutely pure nitrate of
potassium. the article of commerce
known as saltpeter. The discovery
has been kept very quiet until a thor
which the sample was taken can be
made-a man now being engaged in that
mission. DR.. Madden considers the
discovery most remarkable, and says
that if a large deposit is secured untold
wealth awaits the owner. He estimates
the value Of dirt at from $50 to $40 a
ton, and its merchantable qualities are
worth SIG a ton. If the report of the
man now investigating the property in
the vicinity of the find indicates
large deposit. a company will
be formed at once to produce salt
peter. Those who know of it's
existence here are excited over the
prospect, and think there's much money
in the matter. 1t is surprising that the
deposit should be found in this section,
as nitrate of potassium is usually found
in hot, dry countries, the largest beds be-
ing on the plateaus of Chilli. DR.. Madden
accounts for its presence here by saying
that it may have originated from guano
deposit on the banks of some pre-his-
