ARDMoRE. 1. T., June s.-Bill Dalton,
the noted outlaw, and leader of the
Long View robbers, lies dead in this
city, pierced through by Winchester
bullet. One Of his pals visited Ard
more today, and by incautious talk
aroused the suspicious of the deputy
marshals. who organized and surround
ed the robbers near little town named
Elk, about twenty miles distant. While
the men were taking their position
Dalton was seen to come out, look around
and immediately returned. The officers
on the outside were discovered by him
through window or by some woman in
the house, and, pistol in hand, he Jumped
through window on the north and
started to run east. Closes Hart, one of
the deputies, was less that thirty yards
from the house, and called on him to
halt. Dalton turned around, tried to
take aim while running. and just then
the officer shot. Two jumps in the air
were the only motions made. His pistol
fell from his hand. and he sank to the
ground. and Hart ran up ana asked what
he was doing there, but he was too near
dead to reply. and expired without
word. The house was searched. and
over $50 letters. besides numerous rolls
of! crisp bank bills. were found. The
addresses proved him to be Bill Dalton,
and the money proved him to be the
leader of the Long View robbers. His
wife, who is in Ardmore. became hys-
terical, but soon recovered, and tele-

AN IMPORTANT EVENT.

The arrival of the Great Northern
steamship ''North West" at Duluth yes
terday. Oh her first trip from Buffalo,
marked a new era in lake navigation
which will have an important bearing
upon the continued development Of the
Northwest.
The vessel is the first to appear of
those which are ultimately to form
daily line of superb. exclusively pas
senger steamers from Buffalo to
Duluth "a line so splendidly
equipped that it will bring thousands of
summer visitors who would otherwise
never visit this section Of the country.
1t will make direct line from the At
lantic Seaboard, via Minnesota, to
Japan, and cannot fail to be of immense
advantage to this section of country.
1t was bold stroke for President
Hill. of the Great Northern, to inaugu-
this line of travel, but he has done it in
such magnificent style that it cannot
fail to bring profit in due time, though
few business men would have the cour-
age of the present, combined with the
grasp of the future, to undertake such
gigantic enterprise.
1t is not surprising that the people of
Duluth greeted the advent of the new
steamship with joy and enthusiasm. 1t
means much for that enterpriSing city,
for the state and for the whole North
west,

THE PACIFIC DEBT.
Brief Resume of the Administra.
ton Measure,

SAN FRANCISCO, June S.-A special
from Washington to the Examiner gives
what purports to be full synopsis of
the new bill funding the debt to the
government of the Central and Union
Pacific railroads. alleged to have been
agreed upon by the house committee on
Pacific railroads. 1t is claimed that if
the measure becomes law there will be
no necessity for the government to
push clailus against the Stanford,
Croker and Hopkins estates. The new
plan provides for the Issuance of per
cent bonds, interest payable SO mi
annually, and to run fifty years. Be.
sides, the companies are to be required
to pay the United States semi-annually
one-halt of per cent of the entire debt
for ten years, or total of 10 per cent
for that period, thus liquidating one
tenth of che total indebtedness in ten
years. The remainder of the debt is to
be paid off in the same manner, at the
rate of Is per cent in the next ten years !;
20 per cent the third ten; the fourth ten,
25 per cent; the fifth ten years, 30 per
cent, thus wiping out the debt in fifty
years. If the interest OH the bonds is
in default ninety days the guvernm ent
may foreclose. The new bill, it is
limited. is an administration measure.
