The vagabond Spokane Indians.

SPOKANE, Oct 3.-Aboug 100 Spokane Indians
gathered here today and held q conference on
the banks of the river in the outskirts
of the city with Special Agent Hartman,
VITO il empowered by the government to remove
them to the Cpur d'Alene reservation. At pres
ent they are yagabonds, homeless and landless,
aud IL was thought they would be eager
TO accept the governments offer. At a
pow-wow held Saturday, however, Chief Loui
urged the people TO demand spot cash instead
OF the offer of houses mills and schools and at
today's conference very unreasonable
spirit was developed. The Indians said
they would go on the land, but must have
money TO spend themselves. Their heads have
been turned by the display made recently by
their old time neighbors, the Occur d'Alenes.
Special Agent Hartman told them they had
better reconsider their ection aud ask for an
other conference

ment was caused in Erie today by daring
attempt to rob the Keystone National bank.
At 1890 O'Clock, when no customers were

strangers took positions at each
window around the desks within,
and pointing revolvers at the heads
of the two clerks told them to
throw mp their hands. Inst cad Kepler
snatched paper weight and was about to
deal the fellow nearest him a blow on the
head. when two shots were fired by the
intruders, one bullet striking Kepler
in the left cheek, intiicting a seri-
GUS but not dangerous wound. The
young man fell fainting to the
floor, and the robbers. becoming fright
ened, ran from the bank and up Eighth
street. The shooting attracted crowd
and number of citizens gave chase.
The robbers finding the pursuit too
hot, turned on their pursuers and
opened fire, but fortunately no
one was injured. Finally special
officer overlook the desperadoes, and
after firing one shot at him they con-
cluded to surrender. On being searched
nine revolvers and a collection Of knives
and brass knuckles were found upon them.
The prisoners gave the names of John
Courtenay and C. II. Hawley, of New
York city, and Dan II. Evans and Charles
W. Smith, of Syracuse.

SPOKANE, Oct 3-lspecial.l-The steamer
Spokane was seized at Boomers Ferry. Idaho,
last night by James L. Dolan, deputy United
States collector of customs, for violation
of the law in having made a trip
without obtaining clearance papers from
the collector. Mr. Dolan fined the captain $500
and would not allow the steamer to raise
anchor until certified check for the amount
was given him. The failure to obtain clearance
was an oversight, and the citizens are indig-
nant at the collectors action. The captain
thoughtthe mate had the papers and the mate
thought the captain had them Chief Inspector
Crowley and Inspector Sullivan, who happened
to be on the ground, wired the treasury depart
ment requesting that the fine be RENTED. The
absence of the clearance papers was not noticed
until the steamer had reached the boundary
lire, seventy miles from Bonner's Ferry. The

Gently sentenced to forty days in the
government penitentiary at McNeips
island, escaped yesterday. He was first
missed at D. m, and he was still on the
island this morning. and it is
confidently believed Warden Perry
will capture him, for he is noted for
letting no man escape. De Claude was
convicted here of sending obscene matter
through the mails. He was utilized as a
trusty at the penitentiary and had no
trouble to escape from the immediate vi
cinity of the government buildings. He
has already served about ten days, and the
only reason for his attempt to escape is
thought to be a fear of other crimes which
he has committed resulting In his arrest

LOOKING FOR THEIR MOTHER.
Two Sons Of the La Grande Uxoricide
Arrive In Seattle.


Arrive in Seattle.
Two boys giving their names as john
ME and Eddie Palmer, aged Ii and s
years respectively, came in on the
12:45 O'Clock train this morning
from Walla Walla, expecting to
meet their mother, who they say is mar
ried here to a man named John Ward.
She was to meet them at the train, but
failed to do SO, and Officer Sandstrom took
them to the police station, where they
were given place to sleep.
The boys say they are the children Of
James Palmer, who killed Eli Ryson at
La Grande about a month ago for
criminal intimacy with his wife.
They say Mrs. Ward, their real
mother, was divorced from their
father and he married the woman whose
conduct brought on the tragedy. The
younger boy was in La Grande when it
occurred and gives graphic account of it.
Both of them were then taken in charge by
their uncle, Ennis Palmer, who lives near
Walla Walla, and q few days ago their
mother wrote him to send them to her.
They say an older brother has been living
with her right along. They are both
sharp boys. the younger one being espe-
cially bright, and were fairly dressed,
though looking dirty.
