FEW TAILS TRAIL.
The Murder CoIdBlooded, and
Whites Must Suffer.

Special to the Globe.
STURGIs, s. D., May n.-Deputy
United States Marshal Mattheson ar
rived in this city yesterday from Pine
Ridge agency with number of Indian
witnesses, brought here for the pur-
pose of testitying in Few Tails case, at
the term of circuit court opening here
to morrow. twill be remembered that
Few Tails, friendly Indian chief,
while travelling across the eastern end
of the county last winter, in company
with number of relatives and friends,
was set upon by number of set
tiers and killed, while the
major portion of the party was
desperately wounded and compelled
to fly for their lives. The killing was
considered most cold-blooded, and aside
from being u friendly Indian for over
twenty years, Few Tails was travelling
with pass from Gen. Brooks, who was
in command at Pine Ridge at this time.
The United States has ordered United
States District Attorney Sterling, of
this state to assist in prosecuting the
slayers, and he arrived here this morn
ing for that purpose. The government
will push the prosecution of this case
as hard as it did the case of Plenty
Horses, in Sioux Falls last week. Aside
from the Few Tails case but few cases
of Importance will be heard at this ses-
sion.

WASHINGTON, May lit is under
stood that Pasquale Corte, the Italian
consul at New Orleans, has been re-
called by his government. This action
was not inspired by the government of
the United States. and is probably
taken by the Italian government
either because it was felt that
the consul had been indiscreet
in his public utterances, or that his use
fulness had been impaired.
ROME, May 1.-THE Italian consul at
New Orleans, Sig. Corte, has been noti-
fed to return home in order to furnish
the Italian government with an exact
account of the events which have taken
place since the murder of Chief of
Police Hennessey. Vice Consul Poma,
of the Italian consulate in New York,
will act for Consdl Corte in the interim.

answer to the question as to what he
thought of the Cincinnati convention
called for the 10Th instant by leading
members of the Third party. and as to

as to the action the delegation will take,
Although the National Farmers ALI
ance has not looked upon the conven-
tIon with favor, we will still have
great convention, and one that will be
represented by delegations from every
state in the Union, with the possible
exception of the far Eastern states. We
expect that even the Pacific coast states
will be represented with good delega-
tions. / am not confident that the pres

that number of our own papers in this

ALBANY, n. Y, May 11.-On Satur-
day the terribly mangled remains of a
young man were found on the Hudson
tracks, few miles west of Schenecta-
dy. A letter found in one of the pock-
cts indicates that there was romance
in the life so suddenly and terribly
terminated. The letter was as follows:
Hermann, Mo-, March "a, 1S91-Samuel
Bright, Dear Friend: L got your letter, in
which you ask the hand of my daughter. All
right. If you are the respectable young man
l take you for shall be glad to have you for

/ have got enough money for us all. All

will come TO your city soon and find out if
you are all right, and, if you are all right
will let you come and marry my daughter
soon. Your friend, A. WENDELL.
Nothing was found on the body to in
dicate where the victim had lived. He
was we'll dressed, and in the same
pocket with the letter was New TeSta-

JUDICIAL SCULDUGGERY.
Nebraska's Ohief Justice Placed
in a Peculiar Light.

OMAHA, May ia bomb shell has
been exploded i'll political circles by the
official announcement that the verdict
in the BOyd-Thayer contest case was
rendered by the supreme court without
discussion of the issues and merits of
the case by the judges of the court.
Never during the entire proceedings
was there a conference held at which
Judge Maxwell was permitted to ex-
press his views or interchange
views with his colleagues. Judge
Cobb was out of the state sew
man on the bench, is the ostensi-
tie author of the majority opinion to
which Judge Cobb appended his name
after a private consultation in which the
Oldest justice on the supreme bench was
entirely ignored. Immediately after
the opinions were fled, Judge Cobb left
the court room, with Gov. Thayer, John
l.. Webster and Judge Mason. Hewent
to the clerks Office and ordered the writ
issued without the consent of his as
sociates. When he learned that the
writ of custer had been surreptitiously
issued. Judge Maxwell Indignantly
characterized the proceeding as
beneath the dignity of a court.
that the defendant had right to his mo-
ton for rehearing, and that in no
event could writ be issued inside of
forty days, unless by express order of
the court. Norval agrees with Maxwell
that the proceedings on the part of the
chief justice were Irregular and in vio-
lation of the rule of the court, yet he
did not join with Maxwell for a recall of
the writ. That BOyd's summary taking
off was preconcerted, is proved by the
fact that Penitentiary Contractor Mosier
was on hand i'll the capitol an hour be-
fore the decision was rendered, and
promptly presented himself to sign
Tbayer's bond. This will consti-
tute the chief plea in the appeal to the
