JURY BRIBER CONVICTED.

McCrystal Found Guilty at Now Orleans
-o'Mailey VIII Probably Get ON.
New ORLEANS, June 1O.-The bribery
cases Of O'Malley and McCrystal were
called this morning, and McCrystal was
placed on trial first. A jury was soon OBJ
tained, and Tales Juror McCabe told how
McCrystal called on him, and told him he
could make some money in tho case. Wit
ness was not called as tales juror on that
day. In the evening McCrystal saw him
again, and told McCabe he could max O
$500 by going on the jnry and working for
Inatrial or acquitta! Of the de-,
the subpoena oss IS tales juror
it would be worth 81 200 to him. McCabe
refused tho offer. The district attorney
wanted to introduce as evidence the con-
fession made by McCrystal while in jail,
but Judge Baker refused. The case was
given to the jury at four o'clock and ver-
dict of guilty was soon returned. Tho rul-
ing of Judge Baker. refusing to admit the
confession of McC!ystal, saves O'Malloy in
this case, the only one connecting him di
rectly with the bribery cases. The court
will now be forced to try him upon one of
the other charges, if at all, and they are all
cases of several years ago.
Charles Granger, another of the Hen
messy juror bribers, was tried to-day for
attempting to bribs Alphonse Lebaire. The
latter said the morning after no received a
summons Granger came to his house and
offered him $500 to go on the jury and
work it." GranRer's defense was a gen.
eral denial. After being out several hours
the jury failed to agree and mistrial was
entered.

city shortly after the ceremony for tho
bridegroom's estate, Altyro near Forres, in
Scotland, where they will spend the honey
moon.

cided, saying that they were ut perfect lib

verdict y-aa pronounced against him Sir
William again offered to cancel his engage
ment to Miss Garner, but that lady, be
lieving iii his innocence, would not hear OF
such thing and insisted that the marriage
should take place to-day. They will visit
the United States in tho fall.

GOVERNMENT CROP REpoRT.s
The Bureau of Agriculture Makes Ia
yOrabIe Showing.

The Bureau of Agriculture Makes a Fa-
y0rable Showing.
WASHINGTON, June 1O.-The June report
of the department of agriculture makes the
area in winter wheat,as compared with that
harvested last year, 111.5; spring wheat,
1884; barley, 1911; rye, 10l.5; oats, 37.9.
The condition of winter wheat is $3.50;
spring wheat, 92.6; barley. 90.3; rye, 95.4;
oats, S5. The reduction last yenr of more
than two million acres suggests reason
for most of the present increase. There
are evidences therefore. both of repression
and development, the former notably in IL
linois Missouri, Kansas and California:
the latter in less degree in Washington,
Oregon, Dakotas and in several territories.
The extension of acreage. according to
correspondents, depends ou tho price of
wheat, and not on available land. The re-
port says: "a large amount of new land is
being broken for next wears crop i'll Wash
ington, and the local opinion expressed is
that not more than one-ffth of the wheat
land of that new state is under cultivation.
The condition of winter wheat declined
only one per cent. The average is 36; Penn
Michigan so. Indiana 80, Illinois 9S, Mis-
soui 80, Kansas 95, California 81. The
fist monthly statement OF averages of
| spring wheat makes Wisconsin N, Mime
sofa 80, Iowa 10, NebraSka ~ Dakota 95.
Early sown wheat was injured by frost in
Wisconsin and Minnesota. Termination
was arrested by drought in the same region.
In South Dakota drought has retarded
growth. The conditions have been more
favorable generally in North Dakota. Re
cent rains in Nebraska and Iowa have great
" benefited wheat and encouraged growers.
Drought in May greatly injured oats on tue
entire Atlantic coast. Winter wheats in
southern states are far better than tho
spring crop, which was partially destroyed
by drought and insects. Not only was the
acreage reduced in the Ohio valley, but the
condition is low in consequence of dry
weather. In Minnesota injuries by drought
we're supplanted by those of cutworms. The
condition is highest on the northern At
lantic coast and on the Pacific. where the
area is very limited.
Increase in the acreage of barley is gen.
eral in almost every section where it is
grown and especially marked in the states
of the Ohio valley. In Wisconsin and Cal
ifornia the condition is uniformly higher,
except in portions of the northwest, where
it has been lowered by drought and cool
weather.

j. Penrose was permitted to view the
corpse Of her murdered husband. The
noble woman Ia bearing up most bravely
under the affection, conoealing her own

ated. Fortunately, Mr.. Penroae,
the past year, had his life insured

the other half for his daughter Maud. The
body Of Mr.. Penrose will be taken to his
home in Montana street to- morrow and the
funeral will be held from there.
This evening an autopsy Was held and
the ball extracted from the head of de-
ceased. The general feeling In town Ia that
the murder was a conspiracy OF Penrose's
worst enemies and that woman was used
as tool in the murder. There are few
people who would have been surprised
had Penrose been killed on the street or In
barroom, rs he was outspoken in his opin-
ions and feared no man.
Ex-Mayor Walton said TO night: II had
n talk with Mr.. Penrose yesterday. He told
me he did not know what to do; that his
enemies were pressing him hard and egging
the woman on. He said he had good
mind to have the woman arrested
Mrs. Penrose says in regard to the mat
ter: "Mr. Penrose came home about eight
O'Clock in the evening. He seemed troubled
about something and walked up and down
the parlor in meditative mood. Ocoa-
sionally he would pick Maud up and say q
few words to her. He said very little to

he had been trying to dive it from his

hoping to keep him in the house. He went
to bed and shortly before ~ got up, saying
he had to 90 up town on business. l tried
to make him put it oil until to-day, but he
insisted. He said he would return in a few
minutes. He took another drink. and ex-
pected he would 20 up town, get cigar and
come back, as he did frequently. That was
the last saw of him.
| Mrs. Penrose says that no messenger was
at the house.

ray at San Francisco to-day offering $1,000
reward for information that will lead to the
arrest of the assassins. A reward Of $1,000

MAY NOT WORK.

Citizens OF Nebraska Oppose tho Employ
ment of indians
WASHINGTON. June 10. - Commissioner
Morgan, of the Indian bureau, has received
second letter from Superintendent
Baekus, of the Genoa, Neb., industrial
school for Indian children, explaining more
fully the situation in that section as to the
employment of Indian children in beet
working people about Norfolk, advises
against putting boys out to work and says:
"We have three political parties in this
state at the present time. about 1000 in
each party. One party is composed of the
Farmers alliance and knights of Labor
combined, the other two are the republican
and the democratic. feel sure if we allow
our boys to work in beet fields
the Farmers alliance and Knights of
Labor organizations will unite as a
party in condemning our action" Com
missioner Morgan, i'll reply, briefly reviews
the history of the Indians as a race in this
country. calling attention to the fact that
they are struggling with many discourag-
ing obstacles in their efforts to secure for
themselves livelihood and briefly explains
the policy of tho governments. The COM
missioner explains that the ''outing system"
has been of great benefit to Indian boys
and girls and he greatly deprecates the &C
tlOA VI bOluo u tue pcople VI Ne-
braska in opposing the scheme. lie sug-
gests that if the superintendent finds his
efforts to secure proper employment for the
pupils of his school at reasonable wages are
to be resisted by political parties or other
organized bodies of citzens of Nebraska,
that he report the case fully in order that
the matter may be laid before congress at
the next session. The commissioners fur
thsr asks that if. in the Judgment of the
superintendent, the people of Nebraska are
90 hostile to the school in its endeavor to
make Intelligent independent citizens of
it's indian pupils, whether it would not be
best to stop all projected improvements
with the view of closing the school and
abandoning the enterprise. Tho money he
says, can be expended to advantage in
states where citizens are only too glad to
have these institutions of learning.

POLICE MATTERS.

Jack Barrett on the Warpatll in East Hell
ena--Men in Trouble.
There were wild rumors yesterday after
noon of a shooting scrape on upper Broad
way. another at the Broadwater, one at the
corner of Davis and Broadway and still an
other at Breckenridge st. When finally
sifted it was found that these stories grew
out OF quiet little attempt at "blutf' made
by Jack Barrett of upper Main street on G..
Schiller the we'll known tailor. Schiller
had contract to make suit of clothes for
Barrett for $25. Yesterday Barrett called
and asked for the trousers which were re-
fused. Then Barrett drew a revolver and
made grand bluff" This failed to 90
and he was arrested and placed under bonds
OF $50. He met Schiller up town afterwards
and assaulted him for which he was placed
under additional bonds of 800. The case
will come up before Judge Sanders to-day.
