About the middle of September Mt

a B1ShEI HINdMITE
Found Near the Washington Courthouse
Building After he Riot,

COLUMBUS, OHIO, Nov. H.--A strlk-
ing and important piece Of evidence was
presented TO the Colonel Colt court Of
inquiry to-day. 1t was a basket con-
tanning forty sticks OF dynamite that was
found concealed near the courthouse
the morning after the rioting at Wash
iHgtOn Courthouse.
The End was kept secret urtu tc-
day. II confirms the report that the
rioters. after the shooting. planned 20
blow up the courthouse, troops and all.
Colonel Colt was warned Of this by tele-
phone messages, and placing troops IN
the balconies OF the building he ordered
them 10 halt all persons attempting 10
approach the courthouse that night, and
o fire upon any who refused to stop:
Several shots were fired at persistent
skulkcrs. and then all the rioters disap-
reared. 1t now seems probable that this
precaution prevented the angry mob from
destroying the troops.
The court Of inquiry heard evidence TO
this effect from Colonel Colt:
He WAS not at the door when the lrlng
occurred. Later he, received telephone
messages to get his men out; as me
house was to be blown up with dynamite.
Colonel Colt laid stress on the fact that
the orders 10 fire in case the doors were
broken. or "A stone thrown or "a shot
fired at the men, were given by himself
His reasons for keeping the men IN the
house after the negro had been taken
there was 10 avoid the possibility OF
stones being thrown at the men, thus ne
ccSSitating nTlnE by thcm, ana perhaps
the killing Of innocent persons. lie also
believed the withdrawal of troops to the
house would result In less excitement
outside.
In answer TO a question relating to
the statements that he was intoxicated,
Colonel Colt testified that he had not
entered a saloon during the day, but, on
account Of being cold IN the evening.
Surgeon Guern prescribed not to exceed
two tablcspoonsful Of stmulant, and that
was all the liquor he saw or drank at
Washington Courthouse. He did not see
any OF his men intoxicated nor did he
see liquor in possession of any of them.
When the order 70 load was given in
the afternoon the crowd numbered nearly
2OcO. They We're threatening the lives OF
Sheriff Cook and himself. The men were
given positive orders when they first went
there not to enter saloons.
Colonel Colt said that he was not
given assistance by the local police. and
that the authority 10 load and fire was
found in the discretion given TO command
ing officers in the regulations

divided interest In the whole The tribes
can make no other use of IL. They have
no power TO grant IL TO any one or TO
grant to any one an exclusive use OF any

have wholly perverted their high trust.
and il is the plain duty OF the United
States to enforce the trust IL has so
created and receive for its original uses
the domain and all the gains derived from
the perversion of the trust, or discharge
the trustees.
The United States also grants TO these
tribes the power of f-government, not
TO conflict with the Constitution. They

rest upon the Government than to revoke
