Muller, the BOY Murderer, Again Breaks
Jail at Cheyenne.
CHEYENNE, Wyo., Jan. 2.-Charles
Muller, the boy double murderer, Will
liam Kingan, under sentence Of eight
years for cattle stealing, and Richard
son Johnson, (colored) of the cavalry
from Fort Washattie, to be tried for
selling whisky to Indians, are gone from
the Laramie jail here. At locking up
time in the evening they overpowered
Harry Griffith, the young deputy. He
was gagged and bound hand and foot.
The three men took all the keys, but
only used one, opening the front door,
rushing into the street and striking for
the suburbs. The men were without
coats and hatless. Kingan, who is a
desperate, was greatly disappointed to
find that Griffith had no gun. Muller
escaped in September with Frank B.
Parkinson, another murderer. Muller
was captured in ten hours that time.
He has been sentenced to hang, but ap-
plication for a new trial is pending in
the supreme court.

London Truth Says the Sooner Canada
Quits England the Better.
LONDON. Dec. 3l.-Truth, Mr.. Henry
L~abouchere's paper, publishes an article
On Canada's future, drawn out by the
troubles in the Province of Quebec,
which resulted in the ousting from office
of Mr.. MERCER, the prime minister Of
Quebec, and the members of his cabinet.
Truth says that it is the manifest des-
tiny of the dominion to become a new
United States, or to become attached to
the great republic. The change is in
evitable and
the Sooner the Better.
The emancipation of the g%rotesque do.
minion and its absorption in the United
States would be a benefit to the Can
adams and also to Great Britain. Such
a course would relieve Great Britain of
the necessity Of transatlantic squabbles
in which she has no concern. 1t would,
moreover, give the Canadians energy
and enterprise, which no mere colonists
can possess. The only sufferers would
he the Indians, who would be trans
ferred to the tender mercies Of what is
probably the most corrupt and rascally
institution on the earth-the Washing
ton Indian bureau.
The paper further says that Canada
Dnce free Australia would soon follow.
Indeed, it is quite possible, Truth de-
%clares, that Australia will be the first
to sever the bonds by which she is at
tached to Great Britain.

His Help.
A Severe Snow Storm has Been
Raging along the Pacific
Coast.
To Abduct Jay Gould's Daughter.

NEW YORK, Dec. 3l.-The World
publishes a two column article in which
the details of a scheme to abduct Helen
Gould. daughter of Jay Gould, from
her home are given. 1t says in SUBJ
stance that a man signing himself
"Prince Won Michaelson" some time
ago wrote a letter to John F. Bassford,
a general insurance agent in this city,
asking that gentleman to assist him in
his scheme. The plan outlined by
Michaelson was to induce the young
woman On some pretext or other to enter
a cab at her fathers home on Fifth
avenue, when Won Michaelson and a
companion We're to follow her and draw
down the blinds and have the driver
take them to Jersey City, where a train
was to be taken for the West. Mr..
Bassford remembered the mar as one he
had ut one time hefriended and attempt
ed to find the whereabouts of the
fellow. In a few days
another letter came to Mr..
Bassford saying that Won Michaelson
had sent a letter to Miss Gould through
the medium of the cook at the Gould
servants, and asking Bassford to get
acquainted with some Of the Gould
residence and find out what hours Miss
Gould would be most likely to be out
walking. The letter concluded: "Help
me out Of this and there is a million in
it for both of us.
Mr.. B%assford, nov thoroughly
alarmed, took the letters to police head
quarters, where he subsequently met
George Gould, to whom le fully ex-
planned the circumstances. The latter
said that his sistor had received a letter
from the prince" but declined to have
the man arrested as he thought it would
bring on publicity which might induce
others to follow in the same line. Mr..
Bassford is very much worried about
the matter az he fears that should Won
Michaelson succeed in being of any in
jury to Miss Gould, he might be I'M
pleasantly implicated i'll the matter.
The police, however, can do nothing
without the sanction of the Goulds.

THE STORM IN COLORADO.

Several Men known to Have Been
Frozen-Railway Traffic Delayed.
DENVER, Colo, Jan. 1.-The storm
now prevailing in this section is by far
the most violent of recent years for this
season. Nearly all of the railroads are
experiencing considerable difficulty in
the movement of their trains. The
Santa Fe ditched two engines at Palmer
Lake in bucking snow. Traffic is de-
layed at Leadville, trains are behind
time, and at some points there have
been no mails since Saturday. Snow to
the depth of eight inches has been en-
countered in the mountains and a high
WIND is drifting it badly. Several men
are known to have been frozen to DE- ath
and it is feared others have been lost.
From present indications the storm will
not abate for several days.

CAPTIVATED HER VICTIMS,
An Idaho Woman Counterfeiter Against

An Idaho Woman Counterfeiter Against
Whom None Will Testify.
BOISE Cry, Ida, Jan. 2-The trial
of Annie Campbell, the woman recently
indicted by the United States grand
jury for having circulated spurious
money, was to have occurred Monday,
but owing to the difficulty experienced
in securing witnesses tho matter was
continued. The case is a very interest
ing one. Mrs. Campbell, who is a
handsome woman of 80 years, way the
keeper or q house of shady reputation
in a small town in Northern Idaho.
Within a radius of ten miles 500 Dagos
were working upon a railroad, and as
they fairly w%orshiped the young Camp
bell woman they spent a great deal Of
time and money at her resort. The
Dagos noticed with pleasure that every
time she had an opportunity the woman
would manage to give them IS gold
pieces in exchange for silver. and when.
ever she broke a bill for them one or
two flyers were certain to be among the
change. One day a Dago discovered
that one Of the gold pieces had turned
to lead, its yellow coat having worn off
and then there was a row. Miss Camp.
bell was arrested, and the authorities
claim that they have evidence proving
her to be a member of a gang Of u
terfeiters who have long operated in the
Northwest. The continuance of the
case was due to the fact that it was next
to impossible to find Dagos to testify
against tn" defendant. They have been
defrauded, but sc great is her influence
over them that they are willing to
forego revenge. Miss Campbell has
been in Jail here for about six weeks,
and she has not only captivated all her
fellow prisoners, but the sheriff and his
deputies are hoping she will be acquit-
ted. They have fitted up a room in the
court house for her special use, and she
appears to enjoy her confinement.

Grain Dealers at Winnipeg Have No
shipping Facilities.
WINNIPEG, Dec. 3l.-Local grain deal
ers have scarcely recovered from the
embarrassment arising from the refusal
of the West Shore railway to accept
shipments consigned to New York,
when they are confronted with another
barrier that threatens to close another
shipping point against them. Dealers
are greatly exercised and the local grain
market is consequently very depressed,
especially where the business is along
the line of export. The latest announce
ment that occasions CONSERVATION
among the grain men is a letter R. C.
Kerr, general freight agent of the Cana
dian Pacific railroad, to Secretary Bell,
of the grain exchange, which reads az
follows: 'Mr. Whitmore, general traf-
fc manager of the Fitchburg railroad,
at Boston, notifies us that he cannpt
take any more grain for export until
further notice.

ROBBED MAIL SACKS.

A Mysterious Robbery Committed in st.
Paul-Little Booty Secured.
ST. PAUL, Jan. "A United States
mail robbery was committed in this
city just as the new year was ushered
in shortly after midnight. As Officer
McGuiggan had finished emptying his
revolver at the stars in honor Of the
arrival Of the young new year he
stumbled over something in the alley in
the block bounded by Seventh and
Sixth, Wacouta and Rosa bel streets. He
stopped and found two mail sacks, and
in the light not far away discovered
that both were cut open and riled. The
sacks were quickly sent to police head
quarters and o. H. Nega4rd, superin-
tendent of mails, who resides
st 1862 Fuller street, was
sent for. The superintendent
discovered that one of the sacks was
from Superior and the other from Bay
field, and that the former arrived on the
Omaha at 1 p. m. and the other on the
Milwaukee fast mail at 2:45 p. M. There
were no registered letters in either sack,
but about all the letters inside were
broken open. Mr.. Negaard gave it as
his opinion that the robbers secured
little or no booty.
Both sacks should have passed
through the st. Paul postoffice and left
the city at 9:25 in the evening on the
Omaha road.
Mr.. Negaard says the sacks were evi.
IDENTIFY stolen from the trucks at the
Union depot. No trace of the robber
has been found.

OPINION OF A GILLIAN,
A Telegram Regarding the Baltimore
Affair from a Cabinet NIinfxter.

A Telegram Regarding the Baltimore
Affair from a Cabinet Minister.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-Senor Montt,
the CHILEAN minister, had another inter-
view with Secretary Blaine during the
day. The minister laid before the Sec
rotary the following translation of a
telegram received from Mr.. Malta, the
minister of foreign affairs, bearing on
the attack by the Chilians upon the
sailors from the United States ship Bal
timore:
From the summary of proceedings it ap-
pears that the struggle commenced be-
tween two sailors in a tavern at the Ward
Ar1ain, that it was continued in the streets
with the accession of numbers of inhabi,
tants and transient parties from the street
called Del Clave. "san Francisco and
"AlamoS. The disorder continued and
extended to the streets Del Arsenal and
san Martin, where the police force sue
cecded in restoring order. All the North
Americans except two state that the po-
lice did their duty, and from the vol,m-
nous proceedings it appears the court has
done its duty. Whenever the prosecuting
ne''lhNN iSiiuCiS Ills Ollillol. anu me Ill1lc
for producing evidence shall have en-
nired. sentence will be given, and the es-
tabliShing of how many are the guilty
parties may only he presumed at present.
Whoever they may be, they will be pun
ished. The legal proceedings are being
actively carried forward to their proper
termination.
The minister, when asked by a re-
porter for an opinion respecting the
statements made in the telegram, called
special attention to the statement that
all the North Americans excepting two
had said that the police did their duty.
He regards this as favorable to the Chill
ian side of the controversy. 1t is noted
that the Gillian minister Of foreign
affairs promises that when the due
process of law according to Gillian
jurisprudence be observed, those found
guilty will be punished, and says that
these judicial proceedings are being car
ried forward actively.
