The CHILEAN OUTRAGE.
Judge Foster Finishes His Investlga-
ton.
FOUR OF THE RIOTERS HELD.
Two Of Them Admit stabbing Bootswain's
Mate Riggin and Coal HEAVIER Turnbun
Self Defence and Resent of Insult the
Excuses.

VALPARAISO, Dec. 28-Judge of Crimes
Foster has concluded his inquiry into the
assault upon the man-o'-war's men of the
United States cruiser Baltimore in the
streets of Valparaiso on October 10 last.
There are 800 pages of testimony. 1t
goes on TO say that the Baltimore's men,
who were arrested, stated that a citizen
and other parties assaulted them. There
was not the slightest evidence of hand
cutting or bad treatment by the police.
The seaman Garret thought, but was
not sure, that policemen stabbed him. All
of the Baltimore's sailors, with the ex-
ception of Brown. who appeared TO have
been perfectly sober, acknowledged that
they had been drinking.
Four OF the accused rioters are held.
Gomez, one of the four, acknowledges
stabbing Coal HEAVIER Turnbull three
times in the back. Turnbull received in
all eighteen wounds in the back, two OF
which penetrated his lungs and caused his
death shortly Otter the death or Boats
wain's Mate Charles Riggin.
Gomez asserts that he was defending
some friends of his whom Turnbull had
knocked down. He does not think that
the stabbing was the cause af Turnbuil's s
death. Ahumad, another OF the four
prisoners, denies participation in the as
sault, but the evidence is to the effect that
he engaged in it.
Rodriguez. the third of the accused per-
SOUS, acknowledges that he stabbed Boat
swain's Mate Charles Riggin because Rig
gin assaulted one of the soldiers OF the
torpedo boat, Almirante Cochrane.
Cortez, the fourth prisoner, who is a
Santa Cruz negro, claims that he was not
at all mixed up in the riot. One OF the
witnesses testified that he saw three police
men holding Riggin when he was shot
These are all the important points in
the report. After the Fiscal has reviewed
the testimony and returned it for Judge
Foster to pass judgment upon 1t, 1t will
be submitted to the Supreme Court for a
final daoioinn

The FINANCIAL NEWS.

The Fourth National Bank has issued a
Savings Bank books, on gas stocks, bank

in times OF need without being forced
TO forego all the interest which has
accrued. The action OF the Fourth Ma

the stock in the market at that price.

lowed by Judge Mediation SATURDAY. no
objections being offered. The report
was quite voluminous, giving in detail
all the acts of the special administrator
in connection with the business of the
estate, together with report of cash re-
celpts and expenditures.
The amount Of cash in his possession
at the time of filing the inventory was
856,295.24, and he has since received
sl35, ,466.l5, making s99l,74l.39 the total
cash received by him. He paid out, by
order OF the court, just bills aggregating
41.O42.17, court fees aggregating $3.50
and administrators expenses to the
amount of SS4l.l5. He has bills amount
ing to S2,776.74, which he asks the court
to instruct him to pay. After deduct
ing the different amounts which he has
paid out Mr.. Talbot holds in his posses
sion s949, 1887.
He makes further request of the
court. He says that before the death of
A. }. Davis there were number of
deeds in escrow for lots, which were
held by the bank until the final pay
ments were made. At the time of the
fire number of these documents were
destroyed. Some of the interested par
ties are now willing and prepared to pay
the balances due, and the administrator
wants the court to empower him to is
sue deeds in such cases and accept the
money.
Mr.. Talbot also made statement of
purchases he had made for the benefit
of the estate, the New Era lode, for in
stance, and of some suits he began on
overdue notes held in Helena, for which
he obtained judgment and protected the
estate from the effect of the statute of

Wholesale Shooting.

While the Neihart excursion train was
On it's return to Great Falls Monday
evening, some drunken men who were in
the rear baggage Car became engaged in a
row. Jacob Harris, alias "Jew jake"
a gambler of Helena, who had been up
at Neihart and Barker for some weeks
past, was prominent in the rows. In
one instance where he and another man
were fighting, Marshal Treat, chief of
police of Great Falls, interfered, separ-
ated them and forced Harris out of the
car, slapping him in the face while so
doing. This quieted the disturbance in
the car and nothing more was thought
Of it. When the tram reached the
Great Falls depot Marshal Treat step
ped off and was met by Harris with a
revolver drawn. He fired three shots
before Treat could get his gun. One
shot entered Treats hip and the other
the doctors say entered about an inch
from the spine and through the kidneys
end will probably prove fatal. Treat
fired two shots, one striking Harris in
the leg above the knee, and breaking the
leg. The platform was crowded and
two other persons were hit with stray
bullets. Joe Lessard, prominent min
ing man of the Belt mountains was hit
below the eye, the ball entering just be-
low and glancing up. The doctors have
not found the ball and the wound will
probably cause the loss of the eye and
may result mortally. The other person
injured was boy about 10 years old,
son Of I. Marks, wholesale liquor dealer
Of Helena. He was hit in the leg. No
bones were broken and the wound is
not thought serious. Harris was imme-
diately arrested and lodged in the coun-
ty Jail. In an interview he said that he
shot Treat all right, and intended to;
that Treat slapped him in the face and
swore at him, and that he wanted to get
even; that he would have shot him in
the car only that he did not want to in
jure innocent parties. Three different
times mob surrounded the Jail tor the
purpose of hanging Harris and each
time the sheriff stood them off. Les
sard is now considered out of danger,
but the doctors fear that Treats wounds
will prove fatal.
