Information received from army head
quarters from Fort Bayarl. n. NJ. is to
the effect that the rumors Of Indian hos
tllltles again renewed in that ouartar
are correct. 1t is reported that a man
named Whitman was killed on Rlne
river. Arizona, and also that a family
was killed on Eagle creek. A man named
Campbell was killed on White river in
the Alpgollan mountains. These mur-
ders were said to have been committed
the first part of May. Two officers and
twenty men have been sent by the com
mandIng officer at Fort Bayard to scout
northWard from that post and other de-
tachments were sent out. General Nc
Cook has given orders for the troons
from Forts bayard, Apache. Bowie and
San Carlos to make diIligent search in
the vicinity of their several posts for
any signs OF outlaws and to pursue any
trails found. Troops from these posts
with thirty days supplies left on We'd

Casey's Murderer Acquitted.
A Sioux Falls, South Dakota, dispatch |
of the 18th says: Plenty Horses is
free Indian No inkling Of the sudden
termination of the case had been given,
and at o'clock, when court convened
the attorneys were preparing to com
menCe their arguments when Judge
Shiras said: ''There is no need of go
ing further with this case What | shall
say is the opinion of this court, but of
Oh my colleague. 1t is said on my own re-
sponsibility.' The Judge then read In
substance that guilt or innocence of the
accused turned upon the question as to
whether Or not a state OF actual war
existed at the time Of Casey's death.
In the opinion OF the court It has been
shown beyond doubt that such state
Of war did exist. Immediately upon ad-
journment. Plenty Horses was surround
ed by ladies and other spectators. The
testimony given by Capt. BALDWIN, aide
to Gen. Miles, was an important feature
in establishing the important act as to
war. He came with all the official
papers of the war department bearing
upon the circumstances previous to and
at the time of Casey's death, and, al
though the documents had only been
offered by the defense and their admls-
sion not yet been decided by the court,
the captains own testimony was OF the
same character.
To-day White Moon, the Cheyenne
scout who was with Casey at the time OF
his death and who has been here as
witness, attempted suicide by stabbing
himself in the base of the neck. He
was homesick and Respondent. He is
not seriously hurt and will recover.
Irregularities Charged in Choteau County
A Fort Benton dispatch OF the 3lst
says: The grand jury of the present
term of court for Choteau county has
handed in it's report on certain matters
which it was instructed to investigate,
and there is considerable speculation as
to what will be developed during sub
sequent proceedings. The report states
that the grand jury has examined into
the administration Of county affairs and
has found the board Of county commits
sioners guilty of many gross Irregular
ties in conducting official business.
Large sums of money have been ex-
pended on roads to which the county
has no legal title, warrants issued with
out proper vouchers and mileage allowed
officers in excess of the lawful amount.
While these irregularities have been
proved to the satisfaction of the grand
jury, it's members have avoided taxing
any action further than bringing the
matter under the attention OF the court.
The celebrated expert report on Choteau
county finances was also examined, out
owing to lack of time necessary 10 verl,
fy the figures it contained, the grand
ii,ry stated it's inability to pass upon Its
correctness. The opinion was given,
however. that it was an incomplete docu.
ment. dealing only with two offices OF
the county c government, and TO, for this rea-
SON was of no value as full and ex
bo,,st;ye exhibit of the finances Of the
county. -----
