RobbIng an Indian Grave.

UMATLLLA, Or, Dec. 14-Professor W.
Y. Hurley has been here several days
lecturing on phrenology. Yesterday he
and man named Hughes, brother to the
lady scboolmistress here, took a rowboat
and crossed the Columbia to visit the old
Indian graveyard and procure few
specimens of Indian skulls. On return
ing they were promptly informed that
they had committed an offense for which
they might get into trouble. This morn
ing Hughes thought be would right
things by crossing over the river again
and returning the skulls. When he got
over there, be found band of ten or q
dozen big Umatilla bucks assembled
around the disturbed graves of their fore =
fathers, and, as he bad reason to believe
that they were greatly enraged, be threw
down his pick, shovel and specimens"
and started for his boat at breakneck
speed the Indians after him. Hughes
just had time to get to his boat and
escape. AS soon as they could get hold
of their canoes, the Indians came over
looking for him, but he was safe in his
room, with the key turned on the inside,
and has renamed there since. The pro
lessor thought he would be safer if be
was out of town, and took the first train
for Echo.

A Religious Crank.

P1TTsBURG, Pa, Dec. a. Inquiry at
Homestead, suburb of Pittsburg, shows
that Charles Henry William Hogg, who
was arrested at Washington last Friday
for annoying President Harrison, is a
crank of very large ideas. He came to
Homestead last spring and remained until
September. He did not seek employment,
and seemed to have enough money on
which to live comfortably. He sought
the society OF the clergymen of the town
and unfolded to them the scheme which
was uppermost in his mind. He said
that all religious societies at present in
existence are founded on wrong ideas,
and that peace will not come to the world
until all the churches are destroyed, and
one grand central ediice erected with
branches of the same kind In every town.
He said he had been appointed to be
master architect, and that all who assisted
in the enterprise would be saints. He
left for Washington with the express
purpose of interesting President Harrison
in his project. While at Homestead
Hogg conducted himself as gentleman,
and was considered harmless.

Desperate strikers.

He ia sunnasea to he Dead

New HAVEN, Conn, Dec. II The case
of live man formally declared dead by
court, after hearing the testimony of
three witnesses, was developed here to
day. The man thus dead to law Is George
Hulce. He was named as executor in the
will of Mary A. Tuttle. In offering the
will for probate, counsel declared of his
own knowledge that George Hulce was
dead, and asked that an administrator be
appointed. Two other witnesses testified
to the death, one of them asserting that
he. attended the funeral. The judge
thereupon decided that Hulce was dead.
Now 1t appears tina. he Is not dead,
though the witness who testified to the
contrary were honest in their opinion
But, as the. court record cannot be
changed without reopening the case, and
as there is no disposition to do that, Mr..
Hulce, so far as-the records of the probate
are concerned, will remain dead.

importers object to Retaliation.

ST. JoIIN's, N. F., Dec. 11-Importers
are dispu:ing the legality of levying ad-
ditional duty on Canadian goods. The
revenue act empowers the government
to impose additional duties on goods I'm
ported from. countries the fishermen of
which have the privilege of taking fish
on all parts of the coast of Newfoundland,
and In which countries duties are LEVIED
on fish exported from this colony. The
privilege of taking fish on the coast of
this colony is refused to Canadians, and,
therefore, il is argued the action cannot
be applied to Canadian exports. Sir
James Winter. ex attorney general, thinks
the action of the government is illegal.
The quarrel with Canada causes a heavy
loss to exporters of fish and increases the
taxation on farm products, which Canada
can send here.

AlbertsOn Sentenced.

TACOMA, Dec. 14-There was a very
perceptlble stir in the superior court to
| day when Edward Albertson's name was
called for sentence. He arose quickly,
came with firm and rapid step before
the bar, and stood without a tremor
Attorney Williams arose and said he
desired to say few words in Alberton's
behalf. He made very feeling appeal
to the court for clemency, read the affi-
davit OF former employer concerning
Albertson's trustworthlness, and letter
from a friend, paying a high tribute to
his character. When Attorney Williams
began his address, Albertson bowed his
head and stood in that attitude notion
less until the sentance was pronounced
At the close of his address, the court said
that no argument as to his former good
character was needed. 1t was conceded.
1t only affected the sentence in the hope
that reformation might be brought about.
The plea of the necessities which drove
him to the crime was not valid. Those
necessities were crimes. tt was long
series of crimes. He could sympathize
with the poor, ignorant, unfortunate
fellow, without home, friends, or any
thing to hold blm to life, and the
necessity which drove such man to
crime. but there was no excuse for man
who stood SO high in the community,
who had friends and home and comfort.
So far as the court was concerned, the
high previous standing of the criminal in
the community where his crime was COM
mitted, a less consideration would be
shown him. His sentence would there
fore be ten years at hard labor. Albert
son took his sentence cody, stepping
back and taking his seat among the
other prisoners without the slightest
change OF countenance. He has en-
tirely recovered from the wounds re-
ceived at the time Of his capture, and is
now in splendid health. To Fred N.
Chandler, Albertson's friend and accom-.
plice, the court said without prelim
lnaries: Yours is not so much of crime
as mistake. You were influenced by
your friends and by your loyalty to your
friend. In this case it was a mistake,
technically a crime. The sentence wss
five years, one half what it would other
wise have been. Albertson and Chandler
will be taken to the penltentiary at
Walla Walfa tomorrow.
HINKLEY GETS TWENTY YEARS.
Thomas Hinkley, the young bricklayer

Martin a tax collector and total

hand, was to-day sentenced by Judge
Allyn to term of twenty years In the
penitentIary. Strenuous efforts were
made by Hinkley's counsel to clear him
on plea OF insanity, but the judge held
that if he was insane, his insanity was
brought on through over indulgence in
strong drink and sentenced him accord
ingly.
