LAWYERS FEES.

Gen. Miles Makes 1t Warm For CRAWFORD,
Eft Al.
CHICAGO, Sept. 15.-Gen. Nelson A.
Miles annual report of the condition OF
affairs in the department of Missouri
will be forwarded to Washington to-
day.
One of the most important features OF
the report is the statement regarding
the swindling operations of ring OF
lawyers who are said to have gotten
sG7 ZOO from the Cheyenne and Arapahoe
Indians on pretensc that they had
settled certain Indian claims against
the government Gen, Miles has stead
tasty adhered to the belief that the
deal was barefaced robbery and has
said so in very vigorous language in his
report.
In 1889 Samuel ]. Crawford, of Kan
sas. Matt Reynolds, of St Louis, and
ID. b. Dyer, formerly mayor of Guthrie
Ok, entered into contract with GER
tain Cheyenne and Arapahoc Indians
for the recovery of the value OF lands in
the Cherokee strip which was assigned
to those tribes but never occupied or
claimed by them. Capt. Lee, under
direction of Gen. Miles, made an eX'
haustive investigation on complaint OF
Whirlwind and other Cheyennes. after
the interior department had allowed
fees amounting to sG7, 900 to be deducted
from the money due for the lands south
of the Cherokee outlet really occupied
by the tribes. His report was that tho
contract with the attorneys was not in
the first place signed by the represen-
tative head men of the tribe, and that
without the knowledge of those who
did sign clause was afterward inserted
providing that moneys from ANY other
lands" should be included.
The commissioners Who negotiated
for the Cheyenne and Arapahoe lands
said that the attorneys had nothing
whatever to do with the sale and
rendered no services Since Gen. Miles
refers to the case specifically in his re-
port, it will necessarily be taken up by
congress. Congressman Wilson, chair
man of the Indian committee, has been
apprised of the facts and promises to
press an investigation.

Burke. The democrats will endeav-
or to make this a great event, in or
der to give the Burke boom a good
send off to commence with.
The republicans are arranging
for a grand rally to take place about
the Goth of October. 1t will be ad-
dressed by ex-senator Mcconnell,
Hon. w. B. Hepburn and Congress
man Sweet, three of the heavy
weights of the republican party of
Idaho. On this occasion, too, the
republicans of Kootenai county will
endeavor to redeem themselves, and
a right royal welcome awaits the
leaders when they come.
We should like to see the pro-
gramme changed so as to have a
joint discussion by the distinguish
ed speakers. The people would get
q more intelligent presentation of
the issues Of the campaign in this
way. This is not always desired by
political manipulators however, and
we hardly expect either side to take
up the question.

Political Rallies.

1t is down on the program that
Bonner's Ferry will be treated to at
least two first class political rallies
during the campaign.
tits reported that John NJ. Burke
will open the oratorical part of the
democratic campaign in North Ida
no, about the 1st. Of October, at
Bonner's Ferry.
He will be accompanied by Pat
Reddy, the noted orator and lawyer,
of San Francisco, who is now defend
ing the miners in their trial at Ceur
d. Alene city. Hon. J. w. Reid, of
Lewiston, who is probably the ablest
orator on the democratic side in the
state, will also accompany Mr..

The Ruler of the Panhandle
takes no notice of him.
LAND TITLES IN EAToNVILLE.
Deputy Sheriff Doust and all tpe FrYs
Arrested on an Order from the
Panhandle's Supreme Court.

The supreme court of the Pan
handle convened here last Wednes-
day, "Judge" Chambers presiding
1t is doubtful if his "honor" will
be able to dispose Of all the bus
mess before the court at this term.
Some Of the cases may have to go
over to the spring term.
His "honor" is engaged in "try-
ing" Dick Fry, Deputy Sheriff Doust
and several others for grand larceny.
The trouble arose over the land
claimed by the Fry Indian children.
Judge Holleman, of the district
court, granted an injunction, en-
joining Allan Peel ct al. from inter
fering with Fry in harvesting the
hay from said land. Under the
writ Fry proceeded, with the pro-
lection Of the sheriff, to remove the
hay. His "honor" had the sheriff
and all the Frys arrested for steal
ing the hay last Saturday. 1t is.
rumored that it is intended to pull
Judge Holleman also, but that in
ferior magistrate is still at large.
S. E. Henry and G. H.. Frank
are prosecuting and lawyers Heit-
man, Hardness and Barker are de-
Tending. Dick Fry is now on trial.
Up to the fourth day but one wit
ness has taken the stand. His
"honor" is proceeding in that slow,
careful and thrifty manner that has
made him famous with humorists
from Spokane to Boston.
The merits Of the case is not a
subject for us to discuss, and the
district court will finally give exact
justice to whoever is in the right,
but the HERALD will endeavor to
keep it's readers posted from week
to week of the steps taken in the
great Panhandle court.
The only opinion we have to ex-
press is that the litigants on both
sides are to be pitied.

The Question of Mormons Voting.

CGUR D. ALENE CITY, Idaho Sept.
16.-Attorney Hawley today pre-
sented the petition of Solon Robin
son praying that writ of habeas
corpus be issued by Judge Beattey
to determine the legality of his i'm
prisonment. Robinson was arrest
ed last week and brought before U.
S. Commissioner Underwood Of
Bear Lake county and committed to
Jail in default of bail on a charge Of
perjury committed by taking the
electors oath required by the Idaho
statutes at the time of registering.
Mr.. Robinson is a member eff the
Mormon church, and it is expected
that this proceeding will determine
the right Of Mormons to vote in
Idaho at the coming election. AS
there ara 5000 or 1000 of that re-
ligious faith who will be voters in
case Robinson is released, this action
becomes of great political import
ance. The court has not yet set a
day for hearing. Several Salt Lake
attorneys will be associated with
Mr.. Hawley in the hearing of the
case.

EatonviIIe Real Estate.

AS will be seen elsewhere, the
people Of Eaton are about to secure
title to their property. They can
make final proof in thirty days.
They have not been doing much
talking but some other people who
want title could take pointers from
them. The cost of patent per lot
will be from five to seven dollars, so
Mr.. VIM. Rosegrant informs us.
All persons in possession Of land
on the day of entry, Sept %, will
hold the land without limit to the
number of lots.

IN THE FIELD OF POLITICS
The N. P. asks for designations
on account of Politics.
MORMON VOTERS IN IDAHO
The Democrats and Republicans
each to hold great Rally at
Bonner sFerry this Fall.

The Northern Pacific has issued
an ultimatum to its employees, noti-
flying them that they must avoid
politics if they hold positions with
their company. The N. p. has al
ways taken more OF less interest in
politics and the last advise on the
matter is received with surprise.
A recent dispatch to the Helena
Journal from Missoula, says: Con-
siderable talk was indulged in all
over the city as to the motive of the
requested designations of Chief Dis
patcher Burke, Roadmaster Goger-
ty, and Timber Supervisor Ange-
vine. Orders have been sent out
from st. Paul requesting the resig-
nation of all employees who are can
didates, or prospective candidates,
for political favors.
We have not heard whether the
N. P. has taken any action in regard
to the case Of w. j. Pilling Of this
county, who is yard master at Hope,
and at the same time a candidate
for county commissioner. We are
inclined to believe, however, that
for past services the N. P. will hold
onto Mr.. Pilling Fa4ey will not
forget that that gentleman proposed
to reduce the assessment valuation
Of the N. P. nearly $100,000.00
while he was commissioner
Pilling will hold his job.

Precinct Nominees.

Nominees for constable and JUS
tices of the peace must have their
certificates of nomination filed with
the auditor of the county not less
than twenty-five days before the
day of election, otherwise their
names will not be printed upon the
ticket and they cannot be voted for.
Nominees for precinct Offices should
attend to this matter without delay.

A Government Assay Office 4.

1t is probable that Bonner's Fer
ry will soon have a government
assay office. Serious delays have
been experienced in shipping ores
out of British Columbia by reason
Of the customs regulations, which
would be avoided if we had govern
ment sampling works here. The
shippers have made a kick to Col
lector Sullivan and he will endeav-
or to have an office established
here. If this is not done it will be
a serious drawback as the ore may
go out by some other route.
r. w. Hummer has been recon-
mended by Deputy Collectors J. r.
Dolan and j. |. Barnes, for assayer.
A better selection could not be
made.

FOGARTY'S MAD DIVE
An Attempt to Escape Made by
the Sentenced High
wayman.
He Gets q Clubbing at the
Hands of a Dep
uty.

Desperate cases require desperate
measures.
So believes James Fogarty, alias
Thomas Hussey. Fogarty is waiting in
the county Jail to be taken to Saltwater
to serve out nine-year sentence for
holding up George Eustis. A man
under nine-year sentence to the peni-
Tertiary is in desperate strait. That is
why Fogarty made a desperate attempt
to escape yesterday morning.
When the prisoners were locked into
the cells Wednesday night Fogarty
escaped observation. He took refuge in
one of the unoccupied dungeons. There
he waited until well INTO the night, when
all was quiet. Then he crept out. noise
lessly assembled to the top of the cage
and tried egress through the roof. But
what it used to be. Fogarty made a
hole in the plaster ceiling, but the roof
stopped him. He went black to the
floor and waited behind heater for
morning. With the morning came the
attendants to feed the prisoners. Fog
the door into the cell room
was open Fogarty made his dash for lib
erty. He dived headlOng between the
legs of the man who opened the door.
The deputy was so surprised by the sud-
denness of Fogarty's appearance and by
that novel method of locomotion on a
stone floor that Fogarty passed him.
But the other deputy was there. At the
end of the dive Fogarty found himself
brought up sharply by such ''soaker"
from the deputy that he Immediately
gave up trying to escape.
Fogarty is now reclining in a cell and
meGitating on the futillty of desperate
measures in jail so carefully managed
as the Hennepin county bastile.

Rascal

Mrs. Alice Smith. an old coIored
woman who ekes out an existence by
washing and ironing and lives at 507
First avenue south, complained to the
police yesterday that she had been
robbed of $3.50, all the money she pos
sessed in the world. Charles Finn, a
colored waiter, has roomed with Mrs.
Smith for the past three years, and was
looked upon by the old lady in the light
of son. Wednesday night he informed
her ne was going toChicagO and requested
her to buy ticket for him. Mrs. Smith
went to one of the ticket offices and
purchased the ticket, and while she was
gone some one stole her little fortune.
She did not miss the money until Finn
had taken the train. There was no one
else in the house except Finn, and no
one aside from herself and Finn knew
where the money was kept. She is
therefore Of the opinion that he took it.
The $3.50 represented the savings of
years. 1t was Mrs. Smiths intention
when she had laid by a little more
money to visit the South. where she
was born and raised a slave. She
sobbed as though her heart would break
when relating her misfortune to the
police.
