He VIII Probably Serve a Term in a
New York Prison.
NEW YORK, June 15.-Erastus Wiman
has been found guilty Of forgery in the
second degree. The maximum penalty
for the otfense is ten years at hard labor
in the State Prison. By the late laws
passed by the Legislature the maximum
penalty has been abolished. and Mr.
Wiman may be sentenced to a term of
from one to ten years.
The jury, after listening to the impair
tiaI charge of Judge Ingraham, retired at
2:30. Every one In court was on the tip
toe of expectation. The majority, how
ever. were confident that the jury would
disagree, on the ground of absence of
proof that Wiman committed the alleged
torgeries with criminal intent.
The first shock the defendant received
was when Deputy Sheriff Brown plac ed
him under arrest the moment that Judg re
Ingraham began his charge to the Jury.
Wiman's sons sat behind him, and q
number of his friends sat around. He
talked pleasantly with them, and his
every movement showed that he was
confident of an acquittal. or at least a
disagreement.
Precisely at 4:40 P. NJ. the jury filed into
court The Clerk said: Gentlemen.
have you agreed to verdict?''
YES, SIR" replied Foreman Murray.
s'I am sorry to say we found Mr.. Wiman
guilty of forgery in the second degree,
but we recommend him to the mercy of
the court"
Judge Ingraham arraigned Mr.. Wiman
for sentence until Wednesday, June 10Th.
Deputy Sheriffs Brown and Kelly es-
corted Mr.. Wiman to the Toombs Prison.
His sons accompanied him, and babe him
an affectionate goodbye at the prison
gate.
In answer to the requests for an inter-
view, sent him by several newspaper
men, Mr.. Wirnan sent back this written
reply: Impossible to see you nOw.r

at the verdict. and until I can consult my

Farley has been in San Francisco, and
was returning to Fresno by this place,
where ne had stopped since yesterday.
He was on his way to the depot to take
train to Fresno when a man asked for
money enough to get meal. Farley put
his hand in his pocket to get the money,
and for moment removed his eyes from
the man. When he did look at him he
faced big revolver, and heard the re-
quest for his money and valuables. He
complied and the man made off. When
he recovered his nerves he reported the
robbery to the police, and telephoned to a
brother at Gonzales Tor funds.

PORTLAND (Or.), June 15.-News has
reached here that Hawthorne, man
wanted for the robbery Of Mays d
Groves store at The Dalles some time
ago, was shot and captured near Wa
pinita last Saturday by the Indian police.
A fight took place at the head OF Clear
Creek, twenty-five miles from Sine
masho, between the police and Haw-
thorne and two others. An Indian, Car
polus, was shot through both hands and
twice in the abdomen. Hawthorne was
also shot, the ball striking him in the
lower part Of the body and coming out in
the back. Both were seriously injured.
The Indians came on the gang OF three
men that morning and demanded their
surrender. While Carpolus was reach
ing to take Hawthorne's pistols, which
he held extended toward him, he shot the
Indian through the hands, and his con-
federates twice IN the body.
The Indians then opened fire on the
robbers, striking Hawthorne, who ran a
short distance, held up his hands and
surrendered. They captured his horse
and arms, but the other two thieves es-
capped. Leaving an Indian with Carpolus
and Hawthorne, the other one rode into
Sinemasho for assistance. Ii is doubtful
if either of the two will survive.

GRESHAM FOR SENATOR.

Illinois.

Said to Be Candidate of PopuIiSts of
Illinois.
CHICAGO, June 1.-THE Inter Ocean
this morning published the following:
Secretary of State Walter Q. Gresham is
said to be candidate of the Illinois Pop
ulists for United States Senator to sue
ceed Senator Cullom. This news reached
Chicago the same day that Secretary
Gresham arrived here. The coincidence
is striking, but what is still more strik-
ing is the fact that the Illinois Populist
scheme in regard to Judge Gresham
comes from no less Populist leader than
II. E. Taubeneck, who is Chairman of
the National Executive Committee of the
Populist party. The idea is said to have
originated with Taubeneck.
Chairman Taubeneck has become con-
vinceo that this year large numbers of
Democrats will vote the Populist ticket,
and he has estimated that in Illinois the
Populist vote will not fall short of 90, 900.
and may go away beyond l00,0 600. Should
1t be anywhere near his estimates, The
is figuring that from one to five or six
members of the Legislature may be
elected in November. These members
will, he and other Populist leaders say,
hold the balance of power between the
Republican and Democratic parties in the
next Legislature. Neither the Republi-
cans nor Democrats can elect a United
States Senator, and Judge Gresham will
be entirely satisfactory to the Populists
and they can and will try to elect him.
Secretary Gresham and wife arrived in
Chicago last evening. The Secretary had
no information as to the movement IN his
interest in ILLINOIS and declined to dis
cuss politics. He said he had taken ad
vantage of an opportunity to come to Chi
cago for a much needed rest.

the fiscal year is only fifteen days dis
tant, Treasury officials are able to give a

of the Treasury's operations for the year.
Up to this time the receipts aggregate

thought by the Treasury officials that the

greater than it is now, and that S75, ,500,-
