ASA POTTER'S CASE.
Opening Proceedings at His Trial Yester-
day.


BOSTON, Jan. 26.-Asa p. Potter, ex.
president OF the defunct and bankrupt
Maverick National Bank, appeared early
in the United States Circuit Court yester.
day to answer to the charges OF criminal
acts committed in his official capacity,
preferred against him by the Grand Jury.
The jury chosen to try the issues be-
tween the government and the defendant
are a substantial and intelligent looking
body of men, only one OF them below the
middle age OF life, and two or three OF ad-
vanced years.; Judge Nelson occupied a
seat beside Judge Putnam, but took no
active part in the trial.
The books OF the bank, bulky and for
midable, were brought into the court
room and will be used as a part OF the
governments case.
The witnesses called by the government
were Messrs. Tobey, Moore, Keene, Smith,
Hunt and Dunbar, who were sworn.
Austin b. Tobey, a member OF the late
nrm OF Irving A. Evans x Co., testified to
his relations with the firm and identified
q number OF checks for large amounts
that had passed through the Maverick
Bank as having been signed by him. An
objection being made To a question as TO
the condition OF Evans & Co.'s account at
the Maverick Bank when witness drew
the checks in question, Judge Putnam
excused the jury until two o'clock to give
counsel an opportunity to argue the OBJ
lection. The first victory for the defend
ant was-won by the court deciding that
at the present stage of the proceedings the
question was inadmissible.

THE DIGGER INDIANS.
a Race Of Human Beings That Are he.
low the Brute Creation.


A few weeks ago / had my first intro
duction to a tribe OF Digger Indians, liv-
ing as they have lived for centuries. in
huts made of tules. which offer about a.
much protection as a hut made OF Column
bia County corn-stalks, says a San Diego,
CAL, correspondent OF the Troy Times.
Having read Mrs. Helen Hunt Jackson
Ramona" i hoped TO see some ideal
istlc dusky maidens of the Ramona type
-maidens beautiful, both mentally and
physically. The damsel first introduced
was one hundre and twenty-eight wears
old. She was gnawing a hunk of raw
meat as she sat on straw beside her
hut. This senorIta was too much in
terested in beef just then to talk
much. Her black eye was full OF
fire, but the skin OF face and BODY
~resembled shriveled leather and be-
tokened great age. They were all OF a
kind, these men and women. In BODY
they resemble Australian bushmen. They
have fiat noses, thick lips, dark skins and
less mental development than Ethopians.
Their natural way OF life before mission
aries came was TO eat vermin, live in .loles
and incase themselves in mud. For the
sake OF the country's honor il is crafty
ing that ethnologists class these people
apart from the North American Indian.
Humboldt included them in the dregs O
humanity such as the inhabitants of Van
Diemen's land. The Catholic priests
however, have accomplished excellent re-
suits educating the young Indians. Low
as the Diggers are they believe in a supe.
rior being and revered a phan-
tom called Chinigchinich, believin:
that this spectre lived among tn,
stars and dispensed justice. He was their
creator and guide. In earlier days ever,
village had a rough temple in which tn,
god was represented by a coyote-skii
stuffed with feathers, talons, claws an
beaks. The Diggers steal and drink fire
water. So do pale faces, for that matter
but Caucasian blood can stand it better.
Whisky is killing the Diggers. Til,
white men have wrested their lands fror
them, introduced deadly vices and as
rule care naught for these natives. In
this connection IL was almost ludicrou
last Decoration Day to watch n party OF
Indian school children, with flowers in
hand, standing beside a veterans grave.
at the signal from the good priest in
charge sing:
My country, tits OF thee.
Land OF the noble free. SC.
And from another point of view IL was
extremely pathetic.

HENRY STARR.
The Leader Of the Bent0nville Banl
Robbers, in Custody.

i
Robbers, in Custody.
Fayetteville, Ark, July 3.-[Spec-
ial. Information has been received
here from Colorado Springs, COL, that
Henry Starr and Kid Wilson, two
members of the notorious Starr gang
of bank robbers of robbed the BEN
tonville hank some weeks ago. were
arrested there this morning. The men
arrived at the Spaulding House at q
late hour last night with Mrs. Starr.
They registered as Frank Johnson and
John Wilson, Joplin, Mo. The officers
after learning who the two men were
afraid to approach them outright, and
attempted to get the outlaws in q
position to shoot on sight, but they
separated, Henry Starr going into .
coffee restaurant. The police followed
him and Marshal Dana caught one
arm Math Wright another. Detective
Atkinson covered him with pair of
six-sooters. He gave in without .
struggle but said to them: ut is q
good thing you got the drop on me or
there would have been some corpses
around here" The same officers then
went to Colorado City and captured
Kid Wilson, another Of the gang. He
was armed with 6-calibre gun and
would have made desperate resistance
II the officers had not first got the drop
on him. When the men were brought
to Jail an attempt was made to inter-
view them, but without success. The
officers went down to the Spaulding
House and woke up the woman who
was registered as Mrs. Jackson, but
who Is really the wife Of Starr. She
10 about eighteen years old, and rather
pretty. She said she was married to
Starr about six months ago and her
