OTIS Mcdonald was tried Yesterday on
two indictments for selling liquor without

an old man who came up to Wyoming
about a year ago from Arizona, where he
had a horse ranch near the Mexican line.
His horses were run off by the Apache
Indians, and he drove stock up here and
reached Newcastle in hard luck. He
had a few dollars left and started a road
ranch, out about fifty miles from Sun.

tough whisky to the cowboys and graders
along the railroad. The partner told
Mcdonald the license was all provided
for and started into Sundance to get it,
but before he got back Mcdonald was
arrested on the charges named.
Urited States Attorney Fowler in
v~estigalel the mater very carefully
and camu 20 the concln,iru hat Mcdonald
committed the crime more through
Ignorance than any thing ei-r ard hv

Mr.. Hebard, the jury found Mcdonald
not guilty on the first charge, but gully
of the second charge.
On the second charge he was fined $40
aud costs. Mcdonald lacks the Sl9 and
SO will have to remain in jail for thirty
days when he will be set at liberty, as
according to a United States statute. A
prisoner can not be held for a fine longer
than thirty days in confinement.
Mcdonald will be glad to get out as he
has been held on the charge already
about six months.
The United States grand jury yester-
day morning found three indictments and
warrants were issued for the arrest OF the
parties. Their names will not be made
public until the arrests have been made.
The Jury adjourned to meet at 2 p IN. to-
day.

and Parker, will probably come up 10 the
United States court today. The counsel
for the prisoners, Y. L. Dodge of Rswlins
and A. q. Campbell of Cheyenne will ar.

KANSAS CITY. April s.-l:20 a, m
A crowd of 500 negroes has just attacked
the county Jail at Kansas CITY. Kan,
with the intention of lynching William
Mccoy, who b~rutally murdered his mis-
tress, Nellie McGruder, last Sunday right.
An attempt 10 lynch Mccoy was made
last Monday at the time OF his prellmi-
nary hearing, but the prison was so
we'll guarded that the attempt was aban-
doued. The sheriff concluded that the
excitement among the negroes had sub
sized and precautions had been relaxed.
The attack tonight was totally unex-
pecjed. About | O'Clock a crowd OF
negroes gathered in the vicinity of the
Jail and quickly made a rush and broke in
the outer door. The portion of the build
ing partitioncd off for the jail is separated
from the outer part by a stout iron door
Only one guard was on du'y but he
threatened to shoot the first man
who approached the door and
the lyBching cpmnittec, after a
lengthy parley, once more adjourned. A
large guard has been placed on duty to
preclude the possibility of further attack.
