Treasurer Jackson Has a Year Yet

There will be no change In the incum.
bency of the Assistant United States
Treasurership in this city until June %
next, for the reason that John 7. Jackson
has an ironclad commission to that effect.
The only conditions of the commission
were that he comply with the law, the
principal point of compliance being the
1t has been the policy of both Presidents
Harrison and Cleveland to allow the COM
missions to expire without making any
political removals. Mr. Jackson's term
was for four years, and he therefore has
one year yet TO serve. Besides, his CON-
mission is a little different from those of
many other public officers-it does not
contain a clause giving the President
power 10 remove at pleasure.
1t has been given out that the successor
of Mr.. jackson, when his term expires,
will in all probability be Charles P. Berry.
but on the other hand it is stated that Mr..
Berry got only the reflection of promise
for this position, and then after every
thing else. including the Collectorship of
Customs, Postmastership, and Collector

was also on condition ithat he retain the
present cashier, Thomas 7. Burns.
Mr.. Burns, however, Is q candidate foI
the position himself, and very strong
one, too, having the support of two good
fighters in the delegation, Senator White
and Representative Mcguire. and if Mr.
Berry should find any difficulty in fur
nishing the bond required the place would
be very likely to fall TO Mr.. Burns.

the amount of pluck they had. And
they were lucky, too, or wise. whichever it
is that enables one to pick the winner two

see so much of their hard white silver go

The programme itself was fair promise for
the future. You could scarcely say more
for it. as there were no particular novel
features to il, saving the hurdle race.
That was excellent. 1t came last, as the
best always should. and was hugely en-
loved. Two of the horses fell and the
rider of Pirate tainted and rolled off. This
added 10 the excitement. but as no one
was severely hurt 1t detracted none from
the interest the event awakened.

say it was a good one. Cicero won it by

By this time the bank was the center of
an excited, angry multitude of citizens.
They recovered from the shock, and while
a few tender hands went into the bank
and carried out the lifeless remains of the
heroic cashier others rushed to their
homes, secured horses, guns and ammuni-
tions and set off after the fleeing robber.
There are men on his trail who will not
eat nor sleep until they tree their game.
Public feeling runs very high and it is
very likely that if the remaining robber is
brought into town unhanged and alive he
will be dangling a: the end of rope in a
very short time
The identity of the robbers is mystery
as yet. The bodies of the two assassins
were taken to the coroner's office where
they were viewed by hundreds, but nobody
seemed to know who they were. A few
had seen them lounging around day or
two before, as related above, but that was
all. The news spread with incredible ra-
pidity, and very soon people from miles
around began to arrive in the city, mount
ed and armed and ready and eager to lend
their assistance in running down the re-
naming murderer. News is expected from
the pursuing posse every minute If they
do not arrive or send news soon a regular
organized chase will begin. There is the
strongest determination manifested that
the robber who escaped shall be caught
and punished for his most atrocious crime.
The remains OF Cashier Blachly were
carried to his home. He leaves wife and
several children and was an old resident
OF the county. He was highly esteemed
by all who knew him and the whole town
is plunged into the deepest sorrow by the
awful tragedy. 1t will be impossible to
control public feeling if the fleeing muir.
derer is brought in alife. Delta is the
county seat Of Delta county which was or
ganiZed in 1888. 1t has population of
300 1t is an enterprising and rapidly
growing town in the heart OF the fruit sec
tion of the western slope.
LATER.-A portion of the posse in pur-
suit of the third robber has returned to
town and reported that they had lost the
trail in the mountains and that the man
would probably e-cape, rs he was well
mounted. The dead men had beer stop
ping at one of the hoscis for several days
under the names of James G.. Bradley and
Clarence Bradley. James has been
recognized US a member of a gang which
