Conductor Lamb, Who Broke Jail Mt Mis-
souia, Captured In Mexico--News
OF the State.

BUTTE, March 3O..-[Special. THE depo.
sitions and cross interrogatories Of r. j.
sconce, F. G. Kyle and A. s. Bishop were
filel in the district court to-day by the at
torneys OF John A. Davis and Henry A.
Root ct al. Sometime ago these persona,
who are all of the same family, deposed
that they saw the will of the late Andrew J.
Davis, after it was executed, thereby tend
ing to prove that the will was not forgery,
rs alleged by Root and the other contest
ants. Although the witnesses do not all
live at the same place, the dispositions were
all taken at the same time and by the same
notary public. The law requires that
deposition be taken at the place Of resi-
dence of a witness, and by notary public
living there. The court ordered that the
dispositions be taken in conformity with
tho law, and the depositions fled to-day
are the results of that order. The cross-
aim to impeach the testi-
mony of the witnesses on the ground that
their general character is not good and also
to show that they are interested parties.
Geo. o. Freeman has been in town the
past week endeavoring to get affidavits
from newspaper men to establish the fact
that prejudice against Root exists in this
community, with view to securing
change Of venue. He failed in this, but he
visited all the newspaper offices and looked
over the files, extracting therefrom all
of the case that he could find.

The One Oversight That Mars an Other
wise Perfect tCounterfeit.
WASHINGTON, March 3O.-Secret service
officers declare that the So silver certificate
counterfeit is most dangerous one. The
viRnette of Hancock is as fine as the orig
inal and the lettering and lathe work is an
exact copy of the treasury note. In fact,
the only difference is TOO minute to be visi-
BILE to the naked eye. In the upper left
hand and lower right hand corner Of the
genuine note is figure 's2," aud on
it's face is engraved, in characters SO
minute that they are not legible except
under magnifying glass the word "two,'
repeated three times. In the counterfeit the
word two is similarly engraved the same
number of times, but in two cases the coun-
terfeiter has made the letters read ''owt,"
The discovery of the counterfeit is not
new thing. Attention was called to it some
time ago; but unknown counterfeiters watch
the secret service bulletins closely. When a
discrepancy was discovered on a note bear
ing the check letter ''A,'' and the signature
of &c. N. Jordan" thecounterfeiter chang
ed the check letter to 'B,'' and the name to
that of Treasurer Hyatt. The eutire circu-
lation of the genuine note may have to be
called in.

APACHEs ARRESTED.

Nine In Confinement at San Carlos--O Old
Chief "Skillmy"
Wilcox. Ariz., March 3O.-Nine promi-
nent Apaches have been arrested within the
last forty-eight hours and placed in irons
at San Carlos under guard. Among the
prisoners is old chief Eskimizene, called
.Skillmy' for short. The first five prison
ers were arrested on warrants issued by
civil authorities charging them with the
murder of a white man years ago, but
Eskimizene and the other three were appre-
hended for giving help to Kid, a notorious
renegate and murderer who defed and
eluded the authorities for years and for
whose capture the government vainly ex-
pended thousands of dollars. All of Kids
close and open companions in crime have
been killed, but he periodically makes his
appearance within few miles of San
Carlos and as soon as his presence is re-
ported at the post detachment of cavalry
and scouts is sent in pursuit. He appeared
a week ago within five miles of San Carlos.
Troops were sent in pursuit of him six
days ago but up to yesterday afternoon
nothing has been heard of the pursuing
party. Eskiminzene is the ablest and
craftiest and most treacherous and danger
ous of all Apaches on the reservation.
