NOW FOR A FIGHT.
One More Murder in the
Rustlers' War.
CHAMPION LAY IN WAIT.
Grave Fears That There Will Be Fur
ther Trouble on the Wyoming
Cattle Ranges.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., May 23.-Another
chapter in the deadly warfare between the
stockmen and the rustlers in Northern
Wyoming has been enacted and one more
life has been sacrificed. A dispatch from
Douglass states that Mike Shaughnessy
has just come in from the TT" ranch,
thirty miles northeast of Douglass. and
given himself up to the officers.
Shaughnessy says ethat he met Dud
Cham pioD, brother of Nat Cham pion,
who was killed at the SET A" ranch in
johnson County last spring when the
cattlemen made the raid into that section,
and that it was life and death struggle
between them. Shaughnessy was the
better mark ksman, and bullet pierced his
adversary's heart.
Shaughnessy was one of the cattlemen's 8
party who killed Nat Champion and Nick
Ray at the ST A" ranch and who were
afterward surrounded by the Sheriff of
johnson County and his posse of 800 men
and only saved from massacre by the
timely arrival of United States troops from
Fort Mckinney. Champion had sworn to
avenge his brothers death and threate ned
Shaughnessy in particular.
Champion had been seen in ambush the
day before the shooting took place. and
he was making inquiries concerning the
whereabouts of w. c. Irvine, another of
the cattlemen. Irvine is absent in Chicago.
The body of Champion was taken to
Lusk to-day, and an inquest will be held
tomorrow. The father of the murdered
man lives in Pleasant Hill, Texas. and is
aged " years. He had family
of eighteen children. eight of them boys
and six are yet alive. Ben and VIII are
ranchmen in Johnson County, and are
good citizens, but are considered danger
Gus men when aroused.
The news of this last chapter in the
Rustler war has created profound sensa-
tion. 1t Is freely predicted that the wal
will again break out. and that many of the
invading cattlemen will be killed as a re-
suit. The especially marked men are
w. c. Irvine. Major W. o. Wolcott and
A. B. Clark.

The Government officers then boarded

CoRUNNA, NJ ch., MAY 23.-William Sui
lvan, a farmland, who brutally murdered
his employer, Layton Leetch. and murder
ously assaulted the latter's wife, near
Durand, last January. was taken from Jail
by an immense mob this evening and
lynched. Early in the day crowds of men
from Durand, Holly and other surround
ing towns began to assemble, and at s
o'clock this evening more than 1000 infuri-
ated citizens had congregated around the
jail, with the intention Of taking justice
into their own hands. They secured the
prisoner and strung him up, afterward
shooting his body full of holes.
Just before he was taken from his cell
Sullivan attempted TO commit suicide by
cutting his throat with knife. His cell
was broken open with a sedge, a moose
thrown about his neck ana he was dragged
through the streets.
Men struggled aud fought and cursed for
the privilege of helping to tug at the rope.
which was thrown over a limb. With a
sudden jerk Sullivan, who had been lying
motoDless and apparently UNCONSCIOUS on
the ground, was raised to sitting posture
and then hOsted into the air.
a terrible scene followed. The body
was pushed from hand to hand, and several
drew pocket-knives and lunged at the
swinging corpse. Then they began TO tear
the clothing on the body and in few mo-
ments only the shreds of his shirt remained
hanging from his shoulders.
When the body was lowered to the
ground portions of the mob which had
been unable to get close enough to take a
hand in the actual hanging, seized upon
the rope and dragged the lfeless body
through the mire. Aiterward the crowd
dragged him about the streets and around
the Courthouse square.

HERE IS MYSTERY.
A Man Shoots Himself for Love of a
San Francisco Woman.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, May pa middle
aged, handsome and well-dressed man
blew out his brains with revolver at the
Hollenden this evening. The story back
of it is undoub btedly q startling one,
but is enveloped in mystery. To-day a
fiGe-looking woman went to the Kennard
House, and after engaging a room sent for
an attorney. Colonel j. o. Winship re-
sponded. She told him she was Mrs. F.
NJ. Allen of San Francisco, widow, and
that she was being pursued by one TOwner,
who wanted TO marry her. and threatened
suicide in case she persisted in her refusal.
Towner appeared at the hotel while they
were in consultation, and as Mrs. Allen
was evidently i'll WnsbiD spirited her out
of the house and sent her 10 the Huron
street hospital.
Towner departed after asking for Mrs.
Brown and finally picking out Mrs. Aliens
name on the register as that of the person
he was seeking. He then removed his
effects from the Irving House. where he
and Mrs. Allen had been stopping. and
after engaging room at the Holenden
shot himself. He left a note to the Cor
oner saying that he died by his own hand
and that Mrs. Brown would pay the
funeral expenses. He signed himself as T.
E. Townsend Oh the register of the Hollen-
den and he wrote his place of residence as
Denver.
Mrs. Allen refused to be interviewed
and the only means of identifying the man
is the woman's declaration to the attorney
that his name was Towner and that he has
a brother at Kinefisher, o. T. Towner
ana Mrs. Allen travelled together from the
West to Cleveland.

TALKS TOO MUCH.
Brewer Is in the Wrong.
Place.
NOT ONLY KNOWS NO LAW,
But He Is Gifted With an Indiscretion
That Borders Closely Upon
the Criminal.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

CHICAGO, May 23-Justice Brewer of
the United States Supreme Court is in the
city to-day. Speaking of the Bering Sea
controversy, he said he would not be much
surprised if the arbitration went against
the United States. He had never taken
much stock in the cloSed-sea theory.
About the Geary law, in regard to which
he dissented from the majority opinion of
the Supreme Court, Brewer said:
"By our treaties with China we owe her
people protection more than any other
country, because it is specified especially
in those treaties that her subjects in this
country shall receive all of the business
and residence privileges granted TO the
subjects of other nations. As the case
now stands it awaits some action on the
part of Congress. If the act is enforced it
will go down through time as blot on the
pages of American history, dsgraceful
crime against another nation"
WASHINGTON, May 23.-At a Cabinet
meeting to-day the Chinese registration
act was again discussed and the policy
heretofore announced was definitely agreed
upon-that is, that only the old laws will
be enforced until Congress appropriates
money to deport all those who are not
provided with certificates.
The effect, of course, of this is an annull-
nent Of the Geary law. for to ignore law
is to a1Dull it. 1t means that despite the
fact of having not less than S66 600 in its
hands with which to Geport Chinese on
July land the sum, according to the
Commissioner of immigration, will be
$500 and not S66,00O. though naturally
Secretary Carlisle's estimate will govern
the Cleveland administration has finally
resolved TO make no move toward the en-
forcement of a law passed by Congress and
approved by a former executive ana hay-
ing its constitutionality affirmed by the
Supreme Court of the land. The executive,
the present executive that is, is therefore
greater. in the view OF the present execu.
tive, than Congress, the Supreme Court
and the President whose term just expired
all rolled into one. Il is rather a novel de-
Yelopment in the American governmental
system, and one for which thoughtful
leaders In public life here were hardly pre-
pared.
In fact. since the policy Of the admins
tration was first announced upon this
matter there has been not little grave
shaking of gray heads among the nations
statesmen, and that there have not beeG
more has been due to the fact that so few
leaders have been in Washington to watch
the course of events.
However, Congress will meet not later
than September. as is now pretty well
known, and then some startling develop
ments may be looked for.

SHE is A SAMPLE.
Why the San Francisco Is Kept on
the Atlantic Station,

WASHINGTON, May 23.-There has been
some speculation in naval circles as to the
purpose of Secretary Herbert in bringing
the San Francisco around from the Pacific
and making her The flagship of the North
Atlantic squadron just at time when the
policy Of the department appears to be to
distribute the new vessels among the
foreign stations. The reason is that the
Secretary is very proud of the beautiful
white cruiser and wishes her to take the
position of flagship of the North Atlantic
squadron. for which she is admirably
fitted so far as interior accommodations
are concerned. in order that in con-
spicuous place she nigh. bs present as
evidence, not only to visiting foreigners,
but to the people of the East, of the excel
lent naval construction that is possible on

BAD SIR CHARLES.
1t Is Clear That He Wants Row
Over the Seals.

PARIS, May 23.-The Berng Sea tribu-
nal OF arbitration resumed its session to-
day. Sir Charles Russell argued that un-
less the United States owned Individual
seals it was absurd to claim property in
the herd. He contended that Mr.. Carter,
in admitting that the United States had
granted TO Indians the right Of seal-catch-
ing, had given away its whole legal propo-
sition. He alse argued that the doctrine
of ''revertendi" as establishing ownership
never applied to migratory animals. Sir
Charles delivered a sarcastic alusion 10
Carter's argument about the origin Of
property in the laws of nature. This al
fusion evoked a warm rrotest from Carter,
who said it was misrepresentation of his
argument.
