The Southern Utes.

General Morgan, commissioner Of
Indian affairs, has received an OF
fetal report from G. a. BarthOlO-
NEW, agent for the Southern Utes,
detailing at some length the results
Of the council he had called at the
agency. upon the oplers Of tire COM
mission. AIR. Bartholomew states
that the chiefs, sub-chiefs and head
men were present, among them
Ignacio, chief Of the Winnemuke;
Buckskin Charley, chief Of the
MOache, and Sevaro, chief OF the
Capota bands, ali hands Of the
Southern Utes being represented.
Colonel q. W. Parker, special In
dian agent, was present. To the
question whether any OF the Indians
had grievances the answer was
unanimous that they had. 1t was
the great desire Of all the Southern
Utes that the government should
remove them ut once 10 Utah.
They had signed the treaty to that
effect anu they could not understand
why the agreement had not been
kept. They were tired Of this long
aN llRL
present who wished to remain on
the old reservation, nor did they
know Of any other Indian who did.
Buckskin Charley spoke Ia severe
terms Of Mr.. Painter, who, az his
visit to the reservation, hau asked
the Indians the same question, ami
they made the same reply. that they
wanted to be removed at once 10 the
Utah reservation. he wondered
why Painter had not recommended
the proposed removal after having
assured them that he and his PEOPLE
were the friends Of the Indians.
Buckskin Charley did not under
stand that sort Of friendship. he
had told Painter, and Painter bad
understood fully, that the present
reservation was not suitable on &C
count OF its greath length and small
width. Agent Bartholomew mar
rates at sUne length the various
complaints made by the Utes, who
want more beef -four, blankets and
other things. The unpleasant fe3-
tuTe TO contemplate WIS that OF a
hest Of dissatisfied Indians, resulting
from their strong disbelief in their
removal being temporarily aban-
dOned.
The tenor OF the agents report
shows great anxiety for removal 20
the PEOpOsej new reservation anu
much bad feeling because the RENO
val has not been made in acct Td-
ancs with the agreement. This re-
port negatives the claim made by
Commissioner Morgan, Painter,
Herbert Welsh anu the dOctrinairrs
Of the Indian Rights association
concerning the jndisposition Of the
Utes 20 leave their present feser-a-
ton. Ii j. also a hlt-fOcted contra
diction OF the Argument made by
Painter before the Houseand Senate
committee on Senate afiaiis.
By separating the States into
groups, the six New England State
ere credited with a forest area OF H.
ls3, OBS acres; the four Middle States
with IL, $50, 600; the fourteen South
ern States, including Maryland aud
leaving out Missouri, with 20, s0O,-
900; the niae Western States with
Sc, 35S, 76S; four Pacific States, g.
g., 900, and the seven Territories
with 63,034, 900. II viii thus be
seen that Of the entire 463. 81, s95
acres Of forest included in this esti-
mate, the fourteen Southern States
possess fully one-half.

4 STRANGE CASE IN VERMONT.
IT INVOLVES THE ELEMENTS OF
LOVE, JEALOUSY, MARRIAGE
AND MURDER.

James Sherman Caswell has had
a most remarkable escape from the
hangman's moose. No murder wa,
more deliberately planned than the
one for which he was placed on
trial. Yet the jury found verdict
OF manslaughter and the assassin,s
punishment viii be limited to a
term in the penitentiary. This. tco,
despite the fact that Washington
County, Vt, where the crime took
place. has IN the past fourteen years
been the scene Of seven brutal muir
ders and less than half that number
Of executions.
When the war ended Sherman
Caswell, then a wounded young
veteran, found work and a home on
the farm Of Willard Cutler. near
Montpelier. Al that time Cutters
daughter Laura was beautiful gill
OF 10. The two fell in love, but their
union was opposed by Laura'- father
because Of CaSwell's dissolute habits.
The years went by. Mr.. Cutler
died, and then Mrs. Cutler, the latter
in ISIS. Casweil, who still resided
on the farm, urged his suit once
more, but although, as was shown
at the trial by her own admission,
she had been his wife for twenty
four years in all but name, Laura
refused him.
In the fall Of 1859 the woman
agreed TO marry George J. Gould. |
aud in September the two were
united by Unitarian minister at |
Montpelier village. They drove 10 1
the Cutler homestead, .and had no |
sooner aiighted than Caswell thrust |
a heavily loaded old-fashiOncd sho, |
gun eut Of an open window ami
fired, the muzzie OF the weapon not |
being three feet from G0ull's head. |
Inc latter's face and chest were |
shOckingly mlngled. He ran across
the road, fell down, aud i'm half an
hour was dead.
Caswell Immediately gave himself
up. and, strange 10 say, the quickly /
bride became his strongest |
champion. She visited him in Jail.
she hired lawyers for him, and /
declared she would be his wife the
he got out. The trial. which
recently took place, resulted as stated
above, and those thoroughly cogniz-
ant Of the facts declare that the
criminal was rhenOmenally lucky
in escaping the death penalty.

cure the commitment Of her hus-
bands sister.
To the district attorney Mrs.
Towner said: awe did not know
that any action was contemplated
until we heard that Mary had heen
sent on tc Stockton. Why, DO you
know that girl is no more insane
than l am In response to in
quiries, Mrs. TOwner said that her
sister-in-law was intellectual and
had been engaged in teaching
school for years in Kansas. being
located for n long time nj CLAW
Center, in that State, from which
place she came TO Santa Monica.
BY an examination OF the testi-
mOny 1t was fOuni that Mrs. Free
man and the unfortunate wOman's

that Miss TOwner had only 4 lot in
Santa MOniea, worth about $500, but

HARRISON COAT OF ARMS.
THE PRESIDENTS son RUSSELL
FINDS IT IN ENGLAND.

While he was in London last
summer young Russell Harrison son
Of the President, went 10 the rains
OF hunting up the coat Of-arms Of
The Harrison family. Heapplied To
CullertOn, in Great st. Andrews
Street, and CullertOn, who makes n
business Of discovering and invent
ing coats Of arms for people, had no
difficulty in supplying the heir
apparent with what he was after.
The American HarrisOns descended
from a famous LincOlnshireman who
Wore the green as a member Of
BOLD Robin Hoods merry hand
of outlaws. This right worthy
bandit, having saved the life OF
Queen Eleanor, as she jOurneyed
once upon time from Canterbury to
London, was not only pardOnesi by
the king, but also created a baron
with a pension Of fifty gold pieces
and ten fat oxen PER annum. His
name j. Sherwood Forest, had been
Harry the Bold, but after he be-
came civilized he was called my
Lord. Henry Of Lincoln, which
name was by the commOnl people
familiarity abbreviated into my Lord
Harry. The learned antiquary, JO-
seph RitsDn, includes in his inter
esting collection Of ancient balladry
a song supposed TO have been sung
in the time OF this same lord Harry
Of Lincoln; the refrain in each stan
"a Is:
o Ny Lord Hairie.
Sin were a ma ide. Wo!de not marrys.
The second Lord of Lincoln was
vulgarly called Harry's son, and
this was the origin Of now fam
Gus surname. In the passage Of
years the name has been corrupted
into Harrison. Henderson 1.-THE
Scotch Henderson comes from An

Hawkins, Hawkes., etc. II was in
1918 or thereabOuts that a coat of
arms with crest was granted TO Sir
John Harrison, one Of the kings
eguerrics and q lineal descendant |
OF the sherwood Forest freebooter.
Sir John lived most Of his life in
Sydney fOrest-in fact, it Is note
worthy that the Harrisons from

until he was discovered and caught |
by that indefatigable curio, John c. |

Mr.. Cullerton kindly provides me
with a copy Of the coat Of arms which
Russell Harrison took back 20
America with him. In the crest
and in the arrOwheads upon the
shield Is to be seen 4 felicitous ref
erence TO the buck-slaying pro
pensities of the founder Of the house

clad simply in a sleeve vest, bat
young Mr.. Harrison most properly
saw fit 70 place n cuff upon the
wrist, and he fain would have added
cuff buttons, too, but for Mr.. Cutler
toms assurance that this would be a
gross PROCLAMATION Of all the traditions
Of heraldry. In order that you may
know that 1 am not testing in this
matter, | send you one Of the book

To Occur cl the Sth, or the 18th, OF
August.

Editor Press ami B0nn"r:
In The last issue OF yoDr paper appears an
article over the signature OF II. advocating
holding the County Primary Election on the
Slh of August, which meets my hearty APP
prOval. The prolonged state campaign has
only been productive Of arnusing bitter feel-
iurs and prciudccs In The Democratic party,
without accomplishing the least good. and
our county should not commit the same error
which the state Executive Committee did,
but order the primary Mt as early day MS
urnctlcablc, not later than the 18th or August.
This plan would allow the heat OF political
excitement already existing TO reach Its nor
mai condition before the state election, and
our pro,lc would be hriter prepared to heal
their dflerenries after the final issue, and
thus allow the grand old Democratic party 10
ro ON conullrring and to conquer. Doubtless
the political views Of every man in the cOun-
~ who would likely aspire for office are al
ready known, and it would be useless and un-
wise to defer the county primary. Such
polIcy would only keep alive bitter feelings
and thus ieoportiiZe fhc unity OF the party,
Let us profit by the lessons OF the State cam
rnign, and have the county primary on the
Slh or Eth OF August, which gives candtdateS
about three weeks yet to see their MANY

willie County has decided who he will support
