Wheat's administration
Caswell of Wisconsin said his informa-
ton was that this practice on the part of

ton as amended was passed.

LAMAR, Colo, Sept. 25.-Word is re-
ceived of a serious county seat strife be-
tween the towns of Boston and Spring
field in Baca county. Springfield secured
the seat at the election held last fall.
Boston claims that Springfield has not the
amount OF county property necessary to
prevent the seat from being moved by
majority vote this fall. The only avail
able building for the court house was the
hotel building 10 Boston. A few weeks
ago this was sold at sheriffs sale and
bought by Springfield parties. Saturday
night a party left Springfield for Boston
to move the building to the former town
and use it as a court house, thus prevent
ing the county seat issue being raised this
fall by reason of the prominent improve.
ments being made. The building was
moved about FIVE miles toward Spring
field, which is about twenty-five miles
from Boston, when the people of the latter
place discovered the trick and immedi-
ately organized. All the available horses
and rifles were brought into requisition
and pursuit made. Upon overtaking the
party a battle was begun which ended in
the Springfield party being driven from
the building, which was then burned by
the Bostonians. Great excitement pre-
walls. but owing to the isolation of the
towns news is hard to obtain. Several
parties arrived here from Springfield last
night and departed hurriedly after buying
all the cartridges they could find in the
town. 1t is reported that several parties
were seriously wounded and two killed
during the fight. but the news is not

PITrsBUBG. Sept. 25.-FInaucial cir
cles are uneasy over the rumored embar,
rassment of the Iron City Bridge works.
The Commercial Gazette says an attach
ment to the amount OF SlS3,OO0 against
the owner OF the Iron City Bridge works
was served upon the Howard Plate Glass
company BY the representative of the
Oliver Iron and Steel company. The
Iron City Bridge company built a large
iron structure for the glass company and
there is still a balance due ON the contract,
upon this the attachment was laid The
parties in interest are reticent. A son in
law OF Q. j. Schultz, owner of the Iron
City Bridge company, says nothing is the
matter at all.
In court today Judgment for s1S3,0 900
against the Iron City Bridge company

embarrassment is this. The Iron and
Steel company were endorsers on notes
from the bridge company given in case of
failure to pay these notes as they came
due. Judgment was entered because the
company defaulted on the first note due

Calcutta correspondent says the troops in
Goa are committing the widest excuses
and shooting people indiscriminately.
Several popular leaders have been shot.
Residences and other buildings are be-
seiged and a lively fusilade proceeds. The
governor general is hiding in the palace
and is deaf to petitions from the inhabI-
tants. Many women and children who
hurried hither for protection were bay
onetted by the palace guard. Several
dynamite bombs were thrown into the

on the ground that a revolution was de-
clared. IL is estimated that 300 persons

CHICAGO, Sept. 25.-P. Fl. Lannon OF
the Salt Lake Tribune and a worlds fair
commissioner from Utah, said today that
in a few years, with the increase ofpopula-
ton and a rigid enforcement OF the anti
~polyRamy laws. the gentiles would be
able to completely throttle the Mormon
monster, He thinks it a great mistake
to advocate statehood for Utah or its an
nexation to Nevada. The most effective
way TO suppress. polygamy is to deprive
p~olygamists of the elective franchise.
M II. DE Young, proprietor of the
San Francisco Chronicle aud a worlds
fair commissioner from California, said
today: Il am not a candidate in the
sense of making a fight for the United

The Play Tomorrow Night.

The lheater goers of this city will be
given a novelty Saturday evening by
Hubert Wilke and his company in Pet,
the Vagdbond. The title role is the star
part, and will be played with a Hungarian
Gypsy dialect. The story of "Peti' is
that of an American family abroad.
There is fussy tuft- hunting father who
marries his daughter to the bankrupt
Count Harold Yon Sandory in order that
he may gain an entrance to fashionable
society. The count is a foster brother of
Pet" who, despite his early surround
Ings and trainings as a Gypsy, is possessed
OF all the manly virtues, and'succeeds in
foiling the villainouS designs of the count
on the fortunes Of his wife and father-in-
law. There is some good comedy bust
ness In which-a maid of ripe years in
search Of her affinity meets a gushing
poet in searchof an ideal. Altogether the
play forms a good setting for Hubert
Wilke who, in his impersonation of the
Hungarian gypsy, presents a character
that possesses the charm of novelty.

MDDLEsBoRoUGH. Sept ga party
of six armed men with Winchesters and
led by a man named Day, from Harlan,
entered the town of Cumberland Gap,
Tenn, for the purpose of cleaning out the
town. They visited all the saloons in the
place and filed up on whisky. At the
last saloon they visited, Day, the leader,
with a Winchester, left the party and
proceeded up the mountain side, when he
met Deputy Sheriff Williams and Adam
Tigere. Upon seeing them he raised his
Winchester and aimed at the sheriff, but
the trigger failed to work. Tlgere cried out
to Day to put down his gun. This the
latter refused to do, but kept trying to
shoot. Tigere then drew his revolver and
fired, the first shot taking effect in Days
arm. Day still kept working at the
trigger. when another shot from Tigere
took effect in his breast. telling him to
the ground and causing him to drop his
gun. Crawling to where it lay he seized
it, and getting upon his knees rested his
gun upon a stump, fired, hitting Tigere.
Then a perfect fusillade OF shots ensued
which resulted in Day receiving fatal
wounds. 1t is thought that Tigere cannot
possibly live. Tigere is a quiet and peace
able citizen, but he has q record OF killing
three men in ~self-defence.
