Seven Soldiers Indicted, but More I'm
doubtediy Involved.
wALLA WALLA, WASH, June 1O.-The grand
jury empaneled to investigate the lynching OF
A. J. Hunt by the soldiers on April 70 has made
a report TO the superior court The report says
in part:
We found true bin against only seven en-
listed men Of the fourth United States cavalry,
vet we are satisfied there are a number of SOL
diers. against whom insufficient evidence has
been procurable to warrant an indictment, that
are equally guilty with those indicted
There il no doubt that Col. Compton did not
believe his troops would make an attack upon
the county Jail. although the prosecuting
attorney and sheriff interviewed him regard
ing the reports which reached them Of o
premeditated lynching Of Hunt. But the
attack on the sheriff and prisoner,
Hunt, on the night before the lynching
and open defiance of commissioners, sup
ported by the gard should have been sufi-
Gent warming to him Of what might be
expected aud that negligence existed in not
men under direct control. While pre-
caution would have prevented an out
rage. in justice to Col. Compton we will state
since the lynching he has rendered the Jury
all the aid within his power in our inves-
tigation. We are also Of the opinion
that the sheriff was taken by surprise and
was not prepared for defense, but
We believe that IL the sheriff
had made proper resistance general alarm
could have been sounded and in all proba-
biity the mob would have dispersed without
gaining their object. We suggest that
the board of county commissioners pre-
pare q statement OF expenses OF which
the county has incurred and will incur on
account Of the Outrage and present the
same - claim against the United States gov
ernment since the relations mnst continue
very much strained between the enlisted men
at Fort walla Walla and our citizens we are Of
the opinion that 10 would be wise and proper
that the troops Of this fort be exchanged"

car strike broke out again early this morning
with violence from a crowd Of two hundred

volvers were fired and bricks and sticks
thrown. Detective Jos. W Smith was hit upon
the head with a stone and severely injured.
When the fight assumed serious proportions
and the mob refused to disperse the police

The Navy Department has not been informed
that any Quantity Of dutiable goods were
struggled into this country by the officers of
the United States steamers Omaha and Swatara
as reported from San Francisco. The depart
ment people say that the same story of snug
Cling is put afoat every time naval vessel re-
turns to the United States from foreign sta
ton, and is always found to be baseless. Gen.
orally these vessels do have aboard some
goods curiositfes mainly, picked up by the
ofacers and crew Tor friends at home. but the
entire amount of duty in such cases rarely
reaches 81 900. When the vessels reach port
it. is the duty Of the customs officers to ex-
anime them for dutiable goods. as in the case
OF other vessels and it is the invariable prac-
tjce Of the naval officers TO afford every facility
for such examination and to pay promptly any
duties that may be assessed.
