NEWS BY WIRE.

| tHc oLictTs, tuey ltdIluS utstTiiUuS and disagreeable events in town, Only the principal officers are allowed to land and they pay generously for everything in gold. The Esmeralda has deposited $l7, 1000 ln gold in San Francisco with the Pacific Mail S. s. company to get coal at Acapulco. where the company have coaling station.
 SAN FRANCIsCO-Solicitor Gen. Taft under Attorney-General Miller who is in Los Angeles at present conducting investigation on behalf of the United States has issued subpoenas for the superintendents of the Western Union and Postal Telegraph Co.'S, respective ly The subpoenas call for the gentle men mentioned to produce telegrams that have passed over their lines in the past month relating to the Chilli ans and between every person in the slightest manner suspected of being connected with them. Holloway the Peruvian, consul contends that the It. ata had ample coal supply when leav- ing San Diego to allow her to steam to IquiIue without stopping and gives it as his view that the steamer has gone direct to that port.
 WAsHINGToN.-The war department inquired for news from Acapulco, which says; there is no probability of a battle between the Charleston and Esmeralda, and no sight of the Itata, and if she has not fallen in with other American vessels will undou' tsdly be off Central America by this time with fuel furnished by the Esmeralda.
 CITY OF MExICO.-The public opin- ion in Acapulco is quite favorable to Chilians and the inhabitants of that city are very indignant at the Mexican authorities for preventing the sale of coal to the Esmeralda. On account of this action of the Mexican authorities it is said that an attempt will be made to supply her with coal and this at tempt it is generally believed will be successful. The populace is very ex- cited and manifestations against the government authorities are feared.
 These officials however are only con- plying with their orders from the war department.
 | ACAPULco--The Esmeralda still re- mains in the harbor and large quan- tity of provisions have been furnished here, but in spite of the reiterated demands of her commander the Mex ican authorities prevent the selling of any coal to her and in consequence she is not able to follow the Charles ton. It becomes more evident every moment that the Itata transhipped last Friday night on board the Esmel. aida all, or part of the ammunition and arms brought by the Itata from the United States. If the Esmeralda in spite of the large sums of money of. fered, cannot get coal, there will prob ably be coal shipped here immediately from another point, since the officers say that they will not use violence to get coal here.

What her orders are is kept profound secret. 1 Los ANGELEs.-Nothing so far has been heard of B. J.

WASHINGTON, Sept. IS BY a recent

exposition is a private and not a national
affair If Assistant Secretary Grant is
correct it raises the question with some

There had been complaint that the
buildings erected were not safe. In order
to dispose eftectually OF all these stories
the commissioners asked the secretary of
war to detail corps of engineers to in

lures OF a great soldier amid some of the
stirring scenes IN which he was a giant
figure, and in them the patriotic spirit Of
the federal general is seen to have been
most attractively tempered by a strong af
lection for the Southern people. The

BACK FROM THE NORTH
The Richardson Brothers Trip to
Johnson ard Sheridan Counties.
Big Prospects for the Newly Opened
Bald Mountain Region.
Serious Accident to State Superin.
tendent of Schools FarWelI.

Warren and Clarence Richardson are
back from the north. They are well
pleased with the northern country and
made some investments while away.
Forty acres of land in Buffalo and the
same in Sheridan were purchased, and
also some placer mining property in Bald
mountain. The trip, over 600 miles by
stage and wagon, was no easy one.
They took the stage at Douglas and
went clear through to Clusters battle
ground on the Little Horn river and only
forty-fiye miles south Of the Northern
Pacific. Then a side trip was made from
Sheridan to Bald Mountain, some fifty or
seyenty-fve miles. There are about
twenty houses in Bald Mountain and some
forty meu will winter there. The boys think
that somewhere in the Big Horn range
will be oae of the greatest mining camps
in the country, and most likely it will be
at Bald Mountain. There are streaks
there, they say. of the cement that will
go IS cents and 81 to the pan. A Den
yer syndicate is putting in a Bennett
A~malgamator which will cost 500, 900.
They will not be ready Tor operations be-
tore spring. The Denver company will
work the ground for the miners, giving
them 10 per cent. of the proceeds OF their
ore.
The CHEYENNE men say the country
from Buffalo north is one of the finest I'm.
der the sun for farming. All kinds of
crops, from apples down, are raised. and
small grain does remarkably we'll. Buff
falo has w%aterworks, electric lights, etc,
like any first class town, but they are not
sure whether it or Sheridan is to be The
town. Real estate in either place is clear
out OF sight" .
Several old Cheyenne meh were met in
Buffalo. Frank EgGleston, who used to
be with Rhodes x Troxel, has a fine drug
store there. A. Sproal, who clerked
here for Schweickert, rum the Burling-
ton hotel and Van Dyke, a former part
ner of George H.. Truckey's, is doing
well. S. T. Farwell. state superintend-
end Of public instruction, who is visiting
in Buffalo, had quite a serious accident on
his way up, which, however, was not 80
bad for him as one of the other passen
gers. Farwell went over the Burlington
route and while on the stage between
Gillette and Buffalo; the vehicle upset.
and, according to the story, the genial
superintendent who weighs over 200, fell
on an old lady and she was badly crippled.
At any rate she was injured so seriously
as to be unable to leave the stage ranch
and has remained there ever since.
Some queer stories reach the East re-
garding the Bald Mountain camp. One
is that dried apple pies sell there for 81
apiece, and the Richardson boys met a
New Hampshire school marin who had
gone up there to embark IN the business.
Speaking of game both say it is very
plentiful. Coming in on the Northern
yesterday Sheriff Kelley, Sam Atkinson,
the Richardson boys and several other
took a number of shots at an
antelope. Conductor Nash finally brought
him down and it was found that about
twenty balls had pierced his hide.

Broke JaII.
Green River Advertiser

Jreeh HlNer AdVertlser.
Three PRISONERS broke jail last Friday
afternoon and made a lively attempt to
get out of town, but we're seen and pur-
sued too CLOSELY by Sheriff Wbitmore and
citizens to go far without changing their
minds. The sheriff fired several shots
from his revolver, which caused one OF
the scapegoats to hug the ground closely.
They were all captured and replaced be-
hind the CRATES. The method through
which they secured their liberty was by
picking the locks on the north door with
a wire. Mr.. Whitmore does not mean
that a second occurrence OF this kind will
occur, so he has his birds in the cage at all
times now.

THE JAIL

Sheriff Kelley owes it to himself
to make a thorough investigation o.
all the circumstances 10 connection with
the Sunday morning Jail delivery. The
event throws a cloud over his administra,
ton and even his best friends do not deny
that the occurrence of Sunday morning
was such that no excuse so far offered
serves in the least to palliate it. a jail
guard is paid a salary by the county to
perform a specific duty. That duty Is to
prevent the prisoners under his charge
from escaping. His very acceptance of
the position implies that he not only as
sumes the responsibilities attached to the
place, but is willing to take whatever
chances may come his way. He is deal
ing with criminals, some of whom have
good reason to know that If they fail to
escape from the county Jail they leave all
hope behind them when they enter the
penitentiary. 1t is natural, therefore,
that they should plot to escape and a jail
guard IS employed to Illustrate these plots
and if necessary to expose his life in the
performance of his duty. If his duty is
simply to remain IN the Jail between GER
tain designated hours, answer the calls at
the door and keep the FIRE going, then
the title jail guardis a misnomer and that
OF %jaultOr would better apply.
We thoroughly believe the story of the
night quad as TO the manner IN which he
vas held up but his own statement shows
that be is not qualified for the position
which he holds. He took no chances
whatever and while it may be true that
other men in his position would have
thrown up their hands at the muzzle of a
six shooter it is equally true that many
other men similarly situated would have
taken some bold stand and perhaps got
ten away with the mau with the whiskers
the benefit of the doubt his second op.
portunIty was when he 6shed the hand
cuffs out of the safe. He might just as
well have fished out a six shooter for
there are several loaded ones always
kept there. If even this was
too great a risk an energetic man might
have acted after the whiskered man had
disappeared in the Jail. No confederate
put in an appearance, and there was NO
indication that there was one. No mat
ter how he was tied in the rocking chair,
the guard might have worked into the
hallway and thence to the jail door, which
