AT THEIR OWN GAME.
Hanosky Says He Has FIeeced McNally's
Gang of Sharps.

Bridgeport, Conn.,, December 30.-Joe
Hamosky came to this citys today and
met three mem bers of McNally's green
goods gang. They escorted him to a
deserted barn on Seaview avenue to
change $140o of his for green paper. They
counted the money before his eyes and
placed it in tin box. Then Hamosky
snatched the box and after struggle,
during which shots were fired, made his
escape. He ran into the hands Of a
policeman, who also captured Walter
Hane, one of the green goods men. Both
were locked up and the money is in the
possession of the police, being Ss26S in
five and ten dollar bills, and also six
packages of green paper topped by ten
dollar bills. Hamosky says he belongs
in Shamokin, Pa. where the same gang
feeced him out of $4,000 for worthless
paper four years ago. He has since found
where the gang sent letters and answered
them. He says this is the third time he
has duped the gang at their own game.
Hamosky is Russian and talks broken
ly. Hane is member of the powerful
McNally gang of which Jim" and
walt" McNally are reputed the heads.
The memoranda found on Hane's per-
son, the police say, gives evidence
enough to break up the gang

brought to the front by the recent de-
clsion OF the Interior department., in
Whatsis known as the BLACK Tomahawk
Case" that the status of child born of
an Indian woman and white father fol-
lows the condition of the father. This
decision, though involving no new
principle of law, was suspended because
OF It's far-reaching effects. Carried out
to It's logical conclusions, it would in
validate pretty much all of our Indian
treaties. Over ten million acres were ac-
CURED under our treaty agreement with
the Sioux alone. A large portion OF the
signers of the agreement were half breeds
who, according to the BLACK Toma-
hawk" decision are now held not to be
adult male Indians occupying or in
terested in the same" The same condi-
tlon OF facts will apply to the agreements
entered into with the Cheyenne and
Arapahoe Indians in Oklahoma, ceding
about three million acres Of land and
quite likely other agreements of former
years and some others of recent date will
be affected by this ruling, and thereby
the titles of settlers who have taken up
homes on these lands will be impaired.
Some enabling act will have to be
passed to quiet the titles, if the" Black
Tomahawk" decision is to stand.

Omaha, Neb., December 81. - Fire

corner of bedroom were found. They
were the remains of John Cummings
and his wife, one child, three years old,
and Mrs. Margaret Fox, mother of Mrs.
Cummings. The coroner took charge of
the remains. Tommie Fox, grand
child of Mrs. Fox, states that John Cum

family were seated. The child was with
his father. Mrs. Cummings and Mrs.
Fox went into the bedroom, when Mr..
Cummings overturned lamp standing

diately took fire. Mr.. Cummings jumped
up, closed the bedroom door and held it
tightly shut. The four human beings
were penned up and burned to a crisp in
the flames. The boy says he endeavored
to open the door and release those in the
burning room, but in vain. When the

SIOUX cITY's TROUBLES.
The Stock Yards Company's Notes Given
to Help Boom Outside Ventures.

Sioux City. Iowa, December S1.-H.
p. Chesley, receiver of the Union Stock
Yards, yesterday, filed report in the
United States court. A feature of the
report is the statement that claims for
money loaned on promissory notes ag-
gregating S903, $40, were not authorizedby
the stockholders or directors, and that no
portion of the proceeds of the sale was
ever turned into the treasury of the com
pany, nor did the company ever derive
any benefit from the proceeds. Mr..
Chesley states that the notes were signed
by the officers of the company and. as
nearly as ne can ascertain, the funds
were expended to aid enterprises wholly
independent of the Stock Yards COMPANY.
These notes, Mr.. Chesley claimed, were
traudently issued and he hoped to repu-
diate them. He will be unable to do SO.
as the notes are now all in the hands of
innocent purchasers. All these notes
were negotiated through the Union Loan
and Trust Company.

John Rudy Was Charged with Horse
Stealing-A Sorry Joke.

Muncie, Ind, December 31.-Alonzo
Allen Of Yorktown, was arrested
yesterday as the result of practical
joke played on John Rudy of that place
a week ago. Other arrests will follow.
Allen Rudy and several companions went
to Cammack station to spend the eve
ming. The crowd foresaw great sport in
having some one personate the sheriff
and read an alleged warrant to Rudy,
charging him with horse stealing. The
joke went too far and Rudy was fright
miles to his home in escaping from the
supposed officers. He has since been
crazy. All the persons are we'll connect
ed and the affair has caused sensation.
Physicians claim the young man cannot

CAPTAIN BlNNs LIKES MELLo.
How: the Gallant Rebel Captured the
British Tar.

L>SW AOA A<CSOAhDSI oRaolLA
Binns of the British bark Montgomery
Castle, reports that he arrived in the
harbor of Rio Janeiro on the 18th of
September, having on board cargo of
rice from Rangoon. On the night of his
arrival, he anchored near Fort Villagag-
non, on the side toward the fort at the
entrance of the harbor. From the time
of his entrance during the night of Sep
tember 18th, search lights were con-
tinually directed toward his vessel, but
there was no firing from the forts. In
the morning Admiral Mello sent boats to
tow the ship out of the line of fire to a
location behind the feet of foreign war
vessels. Capt. Binps said he visited
Mello and dined with him on board his
flagship. Mello told him he did not
desire to injure uninterested parties, but
was fightingafor principle He offered
Capt. Binns cargo Of coffee at twenty
five cents a sack, but the captain was
doubtful of the papers necessary to land
the cargo in New York could be obtained
from the United States consul. He re-
mained in Rio four weeks, discharging
his cargo of rice and waiting for freight
Mello, he says made every effort to as
sist shipmasters, more so than the
captains of the war vessels of their own
countries. Mello knocked the town of
Nictheroy to pieces.
The captains wife said the whole
thing was farce and nothing but
guerilla warfare. Many spent balls fell
on the deck of the vessel One passed
through boat and another struck the
mate in the thigh while he was standing
on the main hatch. Many of these balls
were made of iron about six inches in
lentgh and some were brought to this
port and exhibited by the captain. Mello
sent provisions on board the bark and
told the captain he need not want for
any comfort which he could supply him.

Topeka, Kan, December 3o.-AIrs.
Lease has written letter to the Govern
or in relation to her removal from office.
She alleges that she has not had even
SO much as is accorded criminals-the
right Of self defense. She says she was
an employe of the state, and not Der
sonal hireling of the Governor. She
signs herself president of the Board
of State Trustees and President of the
Board of Charitable Institutions. 2
Mrs. Lease is bitter in her denuncia-
tion of Gov. Lewelling and the entire
state administration. In an interview
she said:
IA more corrupt crowd, of politicians
never disgraced the state of Kansas. The
Republicans were not in it with the
present administration. Now, UNDER
stand me, I don't mean that ali of the
of6ceholders are corrupt, but there arc
some who are getting pretty good
things out of the offices.
"The trouble is that Gov. Leweliine
and 'Diok' Chase want to run the Peo-
ple's party, name all of the appoint
ments, and have such men as win ad-
vance the interests of these two men.
but the people are onto their little game
and if the present crowd of state ofic-
ials is renominated. will not leave the
state, as has been said, but l will show
the people some things that will be quite
interesting, and I shall work for the
good of the party by trying to defeat
these men,"

supreme court has already decided that
he has the authority to remove without
going through the formality of a hear

The Georgia Brave Seems to Have Killed
the Indian Treaties.

the Indian Treaties.
Washington, December 51.-Quite
serious trouble is ahead in regard to the
title to our recently acquired Indian
lands The development of the difficulty
has been gradual, but the gravity of the
matter is now fully appreciated, and it
is quite possible it may come up for
action Immediately on the reassembling
OF Congress just befo re Congress dis
persed for the Christmas HOLIDAYS.
Senator Kyle of South Dakota, intro
duced resolution in the Senate which
brought out the essential facts of the
difficulty. Mr.. Kyle's preamble reoitedthat
by article twelve of the treaty sbetween
the United States and Sioux Indians, it
was provided that no treaty for the
cession of any portion or part sof the
reservation herein described, which may
be held in common, shall be of validity
or force as against the said Indians un-
less executed and signed by at least
three-fourths of all the adult male
same" The preamb BILE goes onto say that
she two acts Of Congress, both dated
March second, 1889, one entitled AN act
to divide portion of the Sioux Nation
OF Indians in Dakota into separate reser-
vations and secure the Indian title to the
remainder show upon their face
that they were signed by number of
adult Indians of whole blood less in
number than three-fourths as provided
Ia the said treaty. In order to obtain
the necessary three-fourths aforesaid,
divers mixed bloods did sign such
treaty made by the commission on the
part OF the United States, acting under
the saidsacts of Congress- And, whereas
the Secretary of the Interior has decided,
as 1t is claimed, that ssthe divers mixed
bloods who signed such treaty are not
Indians in the contemplation of the law,
and that they and their families are not
entltled to any rights or privileges
whatever in the land embraced in the
cesslon to said commission nor any
privileges whatsoever as Indians, and is
about.t to cause them to be elected from
the so-called Indian reservations, the
Secretary of the Interior is directed to
transmit to the Senate, forthwith, copies
Of all orders, opinions and directions he
has given In respect to the said mixed
bloeds, together with copies of all re-
ports, etc, pertaining thereto"
