PERHAPS NOT ENDED.
The Wyoming Cattle Troubles May Be Re
newed.

The Wyoming Cattle Troubles May Be Re-
newed.
CHEYENNE, Wyo., April 1S.-Reports
from the scene of the cattle war indi-
cate that the trouble has by no means
been ended by the arrival of United
States troops. The feeling stirred up
by the killing of Champion and Ray is
exceedingly bitter, and as soon as the
soldiers arc taken away hostilities
will likely be resumed. The worst of
the situation is that guerrilla warfare
is likely to be the result, and men picked
off singly by concealed marllsmen as
they ride along lonely trails. The
prisoners charged with the killing of
Ray and Champion are to be taken to
Douglas to await the action of the
grand jury, and there is a probability
of an attempt to lynch them, with a
general fight probable.
N FEAR OF RUsTLERs.
OMAHA, Neb.,o April 1s.-Col. Van
Horn, commandment at Fort McKin-
ney, Wyo., telegraphs for permits
sion to transfer Sutherland and Car
penter, two of the invading cattlemen
captured by the sheriff and rustlers be-
fore the fight at L. A. ranch, from the
house, as he fears an attack on the jail
by rustlers. Authority was wired to
make the transfer.
The prisoners at Fort Mckinney are
anxious to b9Dtaken to Cheyenne under
military escort, as they are afraid if
they are not they will not get out of
northwestern Wyoming alive.
PRISONERS TO BE PROTECTED.
WASHINGTON, April 1s.-The secretary
of war telegraphed to Gen. Brooke that
while the government has no desire to
interfere with the civil processes in any
way, yet he must protect the Wyoming
prisoners, now in charge of the mill
tarY. from violence.

A MANIAC IN a CHURCH.
The Priest at His Devotions Almost Be-
headed-A Woman Killed.


MADRID, April 1s.-In a church at
Anglesola, in the province of Lerida,
the usual services of Good Friday were
being held with the church filed
to its utmost capacity with devout
worshippers, when just as Father Fran
cisco Marti, the priest in charge, was
kneeling at the altar, without a word
of warning a man armed with a revol-
yer and a short sword sprang out from
behind the pulpit to the left of the altar,
where he had been concealed, and
rushed up on the priest, brandishing
his sword.
Father Marti, whose back was to the
congregation, turned his head in the di-
rection of the man but too late to do
more than raise his hand to attempt to
ward off the sword blow he saw aimed
at him.
The man stood over his kneeling vic
tim and in an instant the priest lay
dead in front of the altar, where he had
long served. The assassin's blow had
struck the back of his neck and the
keen blade almost severed his head from
his body.
Some of the more cool-headed men
made an attempt to seize the murderer,

The assassin, when his revolver was

FIsHlNe FoR SUCKERS.
How the United States Mails Are Used BY
Swindlers to Catch the UnwarY.

How the United States Mails Are Used BY
Swindlers to Catch the Unvvary.
WASHINGTON, April 16.-The frauds
attempted by the use of the mails are
almost innumerable. They consist of
schemes concocted to humbug the I'M
suspecting public, and it seems the
greater the fraud the greater the re-
turns to the swindler. Nearly all of
these schemes make use of advertise
ments published in newspapers and of
circulars distributed through the mails.
Without these means the public could
not be reached, and for this reason a
law has been enacted prohibiting the
use of the mails for fraudulent pur-
poses; but it is to be borne in mind that
unless complaints are made to the post
office department these frauds cannot
be detected and no investigation can be
had.
To give a few instances of these
frauds: A few years ago an advertise
NETT appeared in the papers stating
that for the sum of 81 a recipe wol1ld be
given for the permanent cure of STAN
mering. When the dollar was sent the
recipe was returned, which simply read:
keep your mouth shut Another in
stance of this kind was where an adver-
tisement recited that for SOC recipe
would be given for catching all the fish
in any given body of water. When the
SOC was sent a recipe would be returned
telling the victim ITO dip out all the
water and then pick up the fish"
Another form of fraud is perpetrated
by means OF advertisements SO worded
as to mislead the public. Persons
answering them think that for 25 cents
they are to have watch or some other
valuable article, when in fact they mere
1y get some illustrated catalogue. An
extensive fraud has recently been
carried on by certain persons claiming
to be commission merchants or produce
dealers, who send out their circulars
and price-hsts, offering prices higher
than the market, when in fact they have
no commission house, and probab
only desk room in shop or saloon, and
the goods shipped to them are received
and sold at any price obtainable, sno re-
turns whatever being made.
Some time since there appeared very
glowing advertisement of book, ex-
clusively for young unmarried people,
both gentlemen and ladies, the price of
which was s.. For the IS very cheap
edition of the Bible was sent. A fine
time-keeper, with a cut of, would be adj
{ artised for ST. The sender would ex-
pect watch in return, but he would
get sun-dial. Great frauds have been
carried on by the proposed publication
of handsome illustrated books for which
photographs of prominent men were So
hcited. 1t was added that to have the
necessary copper plates engraved would
cost s16.75. surprisingly large num-
Der responded with photographs and
money, but OF course no books We're
published
