sade for transfer to another COM
missioner, and Judge McCafferty
was likewise voluble in his eX-
poStulationS of an unpreludiced
and unbiased position. He was, i'll
fact, inexorable. He felt competent to
sit on the case and it was his purpose to
stick to that point though the heav-
ems fall. Even the almost lmportunate
request of the district attorney that a
change be granted fell as unheeded by
him as slight sprinkling of rain would
be unheeded by hardy fisherman. All
arguments were futile. but he was
obliged to succomb, however, when it
was declared that the prosecution had
no case to present-that in effect. Then
he became more facile,
More PIiabIe.
The determined lines in his earnest
face began to chase each other away,
and his face finally relaxed into a
beaming smile of quasi-content when he
announced that the court stood ad-
journed until Aug. 20. He could no
longer hold up against the interminable
obstacles that were hurled before him.
1t transpired, as had been predicted Ill
some quarters, the United States dis
trict attorney had not been sufficiently
acquainted with the facts in the case to
intelligently prosecute, and his col
leagues seemed little more familiar with
the details than he. Mr.. Hay, in
his argument for continuance,
felt constrained to say that
he felt somewhat insecure in the prem
ises and preferred to consult the fed
eral authorities before prosecuting the
case. He yearned for more specific au-
thority, and will doubtless now sue for
that authority. While there was
mighty interest manifested in the oc-
currences of the day, and the attend
ance upon the proceedings was per-
feet crush. there was little bitterness
observable. The heat incident to the
first hours of the controversy had largely
abated, apparently, and the crumb of
comfort which the Minneapolis people
found in finally forcing the court to an
adjournment almost provoked a gem
eral good feeling. But everybody will
now await with interest the develop
ments that Aug. 20 may bring about.

HAY is NOT READY.
Case Adjourned for Sixty Days.
Prosecution Unprepared.


Prosecution Unprepared.
The counsel for the defense held a
short consultation, when Mr.. Hart
asked:
''Mr. Hay, are you satisfied to 60 on
with the case?"
mo; l was about to make state
ment." Mr.. Hay once more repeated
that not until yesterday morning had
he any knowledge of the case. With
Mr.. Mum and Mr.. Lawler he had made
as thorough an investigation as pos
sible. That investigation had not salts
fed him that he had available evidence
to present to the court to hold the priS-
oners. Therefore he asked that the
case be continued for three weekS-and
it would please him better to make it
four weeks-for him to prepare case.
Judge Shaw said, in return, that there
will be in this case, on the part of the
defense, some other matters looking to
the Sufficiency Of the writ and the COM
plant. He had no desire to restrict the
prosecuting attorney in any way-to
cut Off his opportunity to thoroughly
prepare himself for the hearing.
Mr.. Hay-I ask for a continuance of
four weeks.
Judge McCafferty-Do you think it
will require four weeks to prepare your
self, Mr.. Hay?
"We have all agreed that we cannot
get ready in less than three weeks, at
the outside" returned Mr.. Hay.
Mr.. Hart suggested that the adjourn
ment be made little lOnger-Say after
the 1st of August. Mr.. Hart was going
away on a vacation. as was also Mr..
Davis.
Judge Shaw said he expected to be
here, but would not like to 20 on with
the case without his associates.
Judge McCafferty--Well, it's for you
gentlemen to agree and fix upon
time.
Mr.. Hay-Any time is agreeable to
me, so long as it is not beyond four
weeks.
Mr.. Hart-The 1st of September is
suggested. .,-,-,.-
b. Nj Hay said that would be an awk-
ward time for him. Would Aug. 20 do?
Judge McCafferty suggested that
would stretch it QUITO eight weeks, and
he felt that it was unnecessary to pro-
long the time for the hearing to such
length, but Mr.. Davis was just as will
ing to make it on the morrow as Aug. l.
"Will Aug. be satisfactory"
queried the commissioner, looking at
Jugde Shaw.
81 want it understood that we are
asking for nothing" exclaimed Judge
Shaw with JUNCTION. "We are making
no motion, and what is done here rela-
tive to the time is being done solely by
the prosecution"
Judge McCafferty suggested that the
record show that recess is taken rather
than adjournment.
81 cannot see that the record can
make the least difference" interrupted
Mr.. Hay. II cannot see how the de-
fense can be prejudiced now by an ad-
journment."
After some further parley the case
was adjourned until Aug. 20.

pena. He asserted that the govern
ment was not ready, and he would
therefore be constrained to ask for
temporary delay. He would not attempt
to conduct the case until he had further
knowledge of the facts and the proofs
that can be adduced.
"There are some preliminary proceed
ings that might as well be taken up,
however" deftly put in Mr.. Davis. mo
doubt the government desires more
time for a formidable preparation" he
argued, "but on behalf Of desire on
the part of the defendant to file re-
quest for change of venue, ! wish to
say just word"
Judge McCafferty suggested that it
would be better to at once adjourn to
the grand jury room, and the question
could be taken UP.

MILES CITY, Mont, June 2O.-Col.
Curtis, who has been in the vicinity of
the turbulent Cheyennes as the repre-
sentative of Gov. ToOle, returned here
to-day. So far as he was ordered, he
succeeded in his mission. The Indians
agreed to return to their reservation,
leave their guns in their tepeeS, and
not bother the white man, the colonel
promising on his part to do all he could
to get the Indians more rations. Col.

the Cheyenne reservation is too poor for
even white men, much less Indians, to
make living; and, if the governments

They would assist him IN the conduct

fear of any local feeling or jealousy
Warping their judgment. They intended
to try the case on it's merits.
The spectators thereupon broke out
in applause, but they were quickly

Frank Davis, with his face flushed
with excitement, yet wearing his pro-
verbally amiable smile, was the first
to appear. 1t was now nearly 10
o'clock, and Judge McCafferty had for
some time been in ATTENDANCE at
his office in the Court block. Close
upon Mr.. Davis came Judge j. M.
Shaw, F. B. Hart and W. ii. Eustis.
Judge Shaw looked sedate and
thoughtful, Judge Hart smil-

about this effect. His only Official act,
however, during the proceedings of the
forenoon session, was to clear the seats
at the right of the commissioner for the
prisoners to occupy. Into these seats,
after just that many would-be
auditors had been forcibly ushered out
into the corridor, to their pain and dis
appointment, the prisoners filed. There
was an utter absence of alarm depicted.
Indeed the prisoners seemed even less
concerned than the average spectator.
They placed an abiding trust in the
eloquent and logical assurances of the
personal liberty would in no manner be
hazarded. Indeed. one of the party
actually fell asleep and nodded COM
placently as the legal giants argued
knotty problems of the law. The others
looked about the room disinterestedly
and in sang froid way. One unac-
quainted with their connection with
the controversy would have been
pardoned for thinking that they were
strangers in the city and had been led
to attend the proceedings merely
through a spirit OF idle curiosity.
An exultant smile of confidence
played upon the thoughtful face of W.
I'll. Eustis as he stood in the extreme
corner of the room drinking in with
easy grace and familiar aptitude every
word uttered by the learned counsel, as
he watched with critical eye every move
on the legal and problematical checker
board. To those skilled in physiological
science it was easy to see that Mr.. Eus-
tis' sharp penetration had already an
ticipated the outcome. And when the
finale was reached there was no visible
surprise, although his eyes eloQuently
flashed upon W. P. Murray defiant II

at all events, and it was not pleasant

men tor of the interests of James u.
Blaine in Minnesota withdrew to the
ante-room to await Developments.
Soon the little court room became
crowded to suffocation. Interested
spectators from the Flour City came
pouring in, as we'll as those of st. Paul.
Will E. Steele, the banker, took con-
spicuous position, where he could over
look with critical eye the diStin-
guished assemblage. The picture was
incomplete without the towering form
and herculean stature of Capt. Nc
Craney, who formerly wore the blue
uniform of the Minneapolis police force,
and whose loyalty to the welfare of that
city was always paramount to his own
interests. Then came the defendants,
the enumeratOrS, who were under
bonds, but at signal from the counsel
for the defense they quietly and silently
withdrew.
Judge McCafferty, shortly after 10
O'Clock, took up the several warrants
and read, in a clear, sonorous tone, the
names of the defendants. Orrin Plum
mer, James W. Wood, Ben Aaron,
Charles Knapp, Louis Hagerman, A. r.
Weber and Edward Jones. All was
hushed in an instant, but there was no
response until Mr.. Davis explained that
the papers had announced that the hear
ing was to occur in the United States
grand jury room in the custom house,
and it was reasonable to assume, there
fore, that the defendants had gone there.
He assured the commissioner that the
prisoners we're in the city and would
surely appear when wanted.
Judge McCafferty-Well, gentlemen,
we will then adjourn to the grand jury
room.
Mr. Hay interposed that he had been
given meager opportunities to subpoena
