j. G. Greenwalt, special examiner, told
OF his connection with the matter. He
first knew Morgan when the latter called
at the pension office TO look after cases.
Morgan said he would tell him some sur

lated to the attack upon General Raum
He told witness he would write him on his
return home, which he did About half a
dozen letters passed between witness and
Morgan, giving the facts as already mar

the letter from Morgan dated Jan. 90, said
the witness, Il had no knowledge of the
Hersey matter. General Raum knew of 1t

G. W. Wayson, examiner in the pension

A TISSUE OF LIES.

1t was false in each and every re-
port, from beginning to end. 1t was
q lie manufactured out of whole
cloth by paid correspondents in
Cheyenne, Douglass, Buffalo and Bill
lings, Mont. 1t was done to create
prejudice against the settlers and
sympathy for the stockmen and TO
prepare the public mind and pulse
for just what has occurred in john
son county. Your correspondent is
prepared to prove that there has been
no rustling or preying upon the herds
Of big stockmen during the past
eighteen months in Converse county.
Two years ago the last ruster here
was sent to the penitentiary at Joliet
for six years, and is there yet. There
has been little petty thieving by
people in towns along the railroad
who were too indolent to work and
had to have meat to live on, or by
some rounder who got broke and
wanted little money to blow in on
q gambling table and killed beef TO
sell to local butchers. But even
then he was more liable to Kill the

not even apprehended.
A little later a band of stockmen
attacked Champion and Gilbertson at
their cabin on Powder river, the same
ranch where the massacre occurred
last week, but were repulsed. One
of them was shot through the lungs,
was taken to Gillette, sent to Texas,
made a full confession and died. OF
all this Sheriff Angus had positive
proof. Joe Elliott, one of the mur-
derers in Fort Mckinney, is under
indictment and bonds for the attemp-
ted killing of Champion and Gilbert.

witness against him, hence the recent
killing of Champion.
Tisdale and Jones were cowardly
shot in the back. Frank Canton, now

The recent murders by Wolcott and

Let the stockmen point to single
instance where one of their class has
ever been killed by a settler or So

the stockmen in Cheyenne, or those
in Fort Mckinney, or the poor home

Mr.. j. p. Blaize, an extensive real
estate dealer in Des Moines, Iowa,
narrowly escaped one of the severest
attacks of pneumonia while in the
northern part of that state during
recent blizzard, says the Saturday
ReUieoC. Mr.. Blaize had occasion to
drive several miles during the storm
and was so thoroughly chilled that
he was unable TO get warm, and in
side of an hour after his return he
was threatened with severe case of
pneumonia or lung fever. Mr.. Blaize
sent to the nearest drug store and
got a bottle of Chamberlain Cough
Remedy, of which he had often
heard, and took number of large
doses. He says the effect was Won
derful and that in a short time he
was breathing quite easily. He kept
on taking the medicine and the next
day was able TO come to Des Moines.

wonderful. Fifty cent bottles for

1t is announced that Claus Spreck-

hereafter to the management of his
San Francisco refinery and his Ha
waiian sugar plantations. Some of
the Philadelphia papers begin to ex-
press fears that the Sugar Trust may
at any time, either for. curtailment of
output or other reasons, shut down
the Philadelphia re6neries. The
payrolls of the plants absorbed by
the Trust have aggregated S3,5O0,-
600 a year, and shutdown would
mean the loss of that amount in local

HIGH. HANDED oUTRAGEs.

1t is possible that some poor set
tier has occasionally killed q range
calf or yearllng TO keep his wife and
children from suffering with hunger,
but even if that is true it does not
justify the recent brutal butcheries
OF Wolcott and Irvine and their gang
in johnson county. These press re-
ports of lawlessness and cattle-killing
in Converse and johnson counties
are absolutely and unqualitiedIy
false. No COWS have been killed in
order to secure their calves, and no
changing of brands has been done
upon the range except by the big
outfits themselves or their hirelings
and everybody here knows it. They
cannot show single instance where

King" whatever he may be called,
has ever been assaulted, killed or

have been by the other side.

WAR OF EXPERIMENTATION.
Baron Cat,Iemeu Consnired TO Wipe
Out RanchcSs.

The following is special despatch
to the San Francisco Examiner, re-
garding the trouble in Wyoming:
Douglass, (Wyo.), April 10
Every day new and startling develop
ments come to light in this terrible
business up north 1t now seems
that the plot was laid by the cattle
men more than two years ago, or
previous to the meeting of the Legis,
lature in January, 1891, and ever
since that time they have steadily
perfected their plans to seize stock
belonging to settlers and run the
ranchmen out of the country, and
they have been very systematic in
their work. They quietly had law
enacted 10y the last Legislature,
creating what is known as a board of
livestock commissioners and placing
$4,000 in cold cash OF the State
funds at their disposal. The act
provided that they could use SAID
funds as they. the three Commits
sioners, saw proper, and could EN-
DloJ luSpSObOlo anu oiSh
within or without the State, with
authority TO seize and sell all cattle
shipped as estiay and turn the
money over to the livestock commits
sioners to be paid to the owners upon
proper proof.
The bill was so adroitly framed
that it looked innocent enough upon
its face, as it purported to protect
all stock-owners, large or small, from
thieves, and to provide way where
by moneys received on the sale of
cattle shipped as estrays should
reach its rightiul owner. The Gov
ernor appointed as such Commis-
soners j. w. Hammond of Chey-
enne, Charles Hecht Of Laramie and
w. c. Irvine of Converse county.
The latter is resident manager of the
Ogallalala Cattle Company, of which
Paxton and Gallagher of Omaha are
large stockholders, by the way.
CoNFIsCATIoN OF PROPERTY.
No sooner were said Commissioners
appointed than they decreed that
nearly all ranchmen and all cow
punchers who had ever voluntarily
quit and located government claim
to make for himself home and
secure little competence were rust
lers and thieves, and their cattle, no
matter how honestly acquired, were
declared estrays, and when ranchmen
shipped them to market they were
seized and sold accordingly, and the
money sent to the Stock Commission
at Cheyenne. When the ranchmen
to whom it belonged demanded it
they were insultingly informed that
they had been blackballed, or
listed as thieves and rusters that
their cattle had been declared estrays
under the law, and told to get their
money if they could. That settled
it. The ranchmen all over this Sec
tion are comparatively poor, and to
go into litigation meant inevitable
ruin. They had no money to pay at
torneys' fees and court expenses,
while the commissioners had $40, 900
of the settlers own money to fight
them with.
The next move was to engage cor
respondents at Cheyenne and other
central points to send out biased and
sensational press reports to prejudice
the public against the settlers. The
press was made the medium of
distribution and the large daily news
papers were filled with accounts of
outrages committed upon big stock
men by so-called rustlers or settlers.

ZURICH, March, l5.-The Committee
for the relief of suffering in Russia has
received letter from the Countess Tolls
toi in acknowledgement Of the last con-
tributions sent from Zurich. She says
that her husband has founded 100 new
kitchens with the committees aid, and
serves in them two plain hot meals
daily, She says that private contributors
should send their money to some relief
committee if they wish to ascertain the
particulars of the use of their money, as
she and her family are too busy among
the peasants to give even general
reports.
The ravages of the famine throughout
Russia she describes as unabated in hor-
ror. Thousands of peasants in South
eastern Russia are making every effort
TO emiRrate to the United States but
many Of them are unable to sell their
belongings for enough to pay their way.
The German peasants from the Volga
regions are moving out in great numbers.
In each village through which the bands
Of colonists pass they are besieged by
crowds Of men and women trying to sell
their beds, pIows or clothing, so as to
get money enough to enable them to
leave the country. The colonists, how
ever, have no money for buying. Most
of them have had their property in
cattle and, since the beginning of the
famine, they have lost most of their
herds In the Volga region eighty-five
per cent of the cows and oxen, and one
third of the horses have died for lack of
food.
Members of the relief committee here
say that stories OF mal-administration
on the part of the authorities are re-
ported almost daily. 1t Rowno the Gov
eminent has an annual income of 100, 600 |
roubles at its disposal, yet has not done |
a thing for the starving poor in and |
around the city. There was not public |
relief Kitchen in the place until the Red |
,,r,.SS Society opened one recently with |
money sent from Zurich
The peasants in Southern Russia who |
are too poor to move are beseeching the
district authorities for seed for the spring |
planting. but have obtained no response
The authorities say that the peasants |
would eat the seed as soon as they got it,
and then would want more for the
fields.
In Jelatmsk the farm cattle have died
out almost completely, so that little can
be done toward raising crops. Reports
from Omfk, in Asiatic Russia say that
the whole city has been turned into
hospital for typhus patients, and that
persons are dying by the score, without
nurses or physicians.
In Western Russia, near the German
and Austrian frontiers, the misery of the
population has been aggravated by the
troops advancing toward the border. A
regiment Of soldiers is often billeted
upon village of but 3, 200 or 4,GOO in
