INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE.

Yesterdays Washington news at
firms that, on the previous day,
work was begun in earnest by the
Senate Committee, on an investi-
cation of the bribery charges
brought to light recently before
that body. Senators Hunton and
Kyle were before the committee as
were also Hunton's son and Kyle's
private Secretary, Maj. Buttz was
the principal witness during the
forenoon. He was accompanied by
his attorney, E. H, MCGOWAN
Buttz was before the committee
for about one-half and was excused
with the request that he be in at
tendance again the following day.
Mr. Buttz said when he left the
committee room that he had been
sworn to secrecy and could not re-
veal a word of the proceedings
Senator Gray also declined to give
out anything concerning Mr. BUTTS
testimony saying that no summary
of it could be given that would not
be liable to do injustice to Mr..
Buttz and the case itself. Frag-
mentary references to the proceed
ings leave little room for doubt
that when the report of the Buttz
testimony is published it will make
a very racy reading. He first de-
manded a transcript of the report
of the testimony of preceding wit
but compromised by accept
ing proposition that the reporter
should read the portions of the tes-
timony of the other witnesses which
reflected on him in any way It is
also understood that he politely de-
clined to answer some Of the perti-
nent questions put to him by mem
bers of the committee. Other wit
nesses of the afternoon session,
Duncan McFariane, Senator Kyle's
clerk and James w. Walker, an at
torney of Washington City, who
gave Buttz letter to Eppa Hun
ton, Jr. Mr.. Walker confirmed Sen
ator Kyle's statement and said ex-
plicitly that Buttz had made a dl-
rect proposition to bribe the Sena-
tor to vote against the tariff bill.

OWENS FLAYs BRECIIINRIDGE.
He Declares That Breckinridge's Re-
Election Would be Reproach
to the State.

The candidacy of Hon. W. G.
Owens, for Congress, from the Sew
enth Kentucky District, in opposi-
ton to Col. Breckenridge, has re-
ceived a decided impetus, in that
section Of country surrounding
Georgetown where he has resided
for years, and where the feeling
against his opponent, Breckinridge
is intensely bitter and uncompris-
ing.
Dispatches from Georgetown,
yesterday state that Owens spoke
in the court house there, and it was
filed to the walls with friends and
supporters. Between 300 and 400
women were present, and they were
conspicuous by reason Of wearing
Owens badges. 1t was a rousing
meeting, and the enthusiasm that
greeted many Of the speakers most

county people are for him to a man.

FIGHT WITH THE DALT0Ns. p

A telegraphic special from the
scene Of battle, in Oklahoma Terri
tory, between officers and supposed
members of the irrepressible Dalton
gang, says;
Two men, supposed to be members
of the Dalton gang Of train robbers
passed through El Reno, O, t., yes
terday travelling eastward. The
Sheriff telegraphed to the little
town of Yukon to intercept them.
A posse was quickly organized and
when the train robbers made their
appearance they we're attacked.
The defense was quite as hot as
the attack, and a running fight en-
sued, One Ferris was shot in the
groin, the bullet passing clear
through him. He is not expected
to live. Another man named Mel
son was shot in the forehead, but
not dangerously wounded. A num-
Der of other persons we're wounded
more or less. One robber was
wounded and captured the other
made good his escape The officers
are in pursuit.

being the genteel manner in which
he laid bare the hideousness of his
opponents career. The following
extract shows how nicely Mr.. Owens
flayed Col. Breckenridge without
even calling his name
"That l may be elected it is un-
necessary that you destroy the re-
spect the people of the country
in common with those of the Ash
land district for the courts of JUS
tice of this land. 1t is not necess-
airy for you to believe, in order to
elect me, that these courts have
been converted into instruments of
injustice. Nor do l want you to be-
lieve that every newspaper man in
the country is base liar. To elect
me it is not necessary to charge
that more than one half of our
Democratic friends and the good
women of our district have become
slanderers; to elect me it is not ne
cessary to tear the vestments from
the sacred altar and proclaim that
the ministers of the holy religion
have abandoned their high calling
and entered into a league with the
devil to destroy the Lords anoint-
ed. Tremendous applause and up
roar.
"But do not get enthusiastic, be-
cause there is something to be said
on the other side Of the question,
for should | be defeated the Demo-
cratic party will continue to do bus
mess at the same old stand. | can
not hope, therefore, to induce you

cal necessity-called to meet some
special emergency in the affairs of

the ust of the sitting member who
never feels his seat in Congress in
danger that he does not discover
some impending crisis, some terrible
calamity threatening the nation.
And you will observe that as often
as these crises do arise they arise
during his own incumbency."
In closing his address Mr. Owens
said:
"Never in the history Of the
world was man under such circum-
stances as the present incumbent
finds himself, elected by a free peo-
pie to post of honor. The eyes
Of 6O,OO0,OOO people are upon you
and your verdict will be waited
with the greatest anxiety.
A set of resolutions endorsing
Mr. Owens as moral and honora-
BILE gentleman, possessing the en-
tire confidence of the people of his
county, was passed by rising vote,
and the large crowd dispersed with
tears for Owens, and hundreds of
his closest friends crowded around
him and offered congratulations.

DARING BANK ROBBERY.
Four Desperate Thieves Loot the
LOngview Bank in Broad Day
light Yesterday.

A bank robbery, so daring and
desperate, as to put to blush the
widest flight oflawless imagination
and cause even the thrilling exploits
of the Jameses and Youngers, to
pale, in comparison, was reported
here last evening, from Longyiew,
Tex, town on the Texas g. Pacific
railway, about 100 miles Southeast
from Texarkana.
The robbers, four in number, rode
into Longview at 3 o'clock yester-
day afternoon. They dismounted
and secured their horses in an alley
way, at the rear of the First Ma
tional bank, two of the gang re-
naming there on guard, while the
other two entered the bank. The
bandits were without masks, but
heavily armed, one of those enter
ing the bank carrying a winchester,
concealed in the folds of slicker.
He handed the following note to
President Joe Clemmons;
HOME, May 23.
First National Bank, Longview;
This will introduce to you Chas.
Speckelmeper, who wants some
money, and is going to have it.
B. g. F.
Thinking it an appeal for charity,
the cashier reached for the cash
box, when he was covered with a
winchester, in the hands of the ban
dit, and together with the other
officers of the bank ordered to
Glands up" The other bandit
seized upon all the cash in sight, Sc
curing 81, 600 and three ten dollar,
No. 8, and nine twenty dollar, No.
27, unsigned Longview bank notes
which may lead to detection While
this was going on two of the robbers
were in the rear alley of the bank
shooting at every one who appeared
and we're being fired on by City
Marshal Muckleroy and Deputy
VIII Stevens.
After securing the money in the
bank, the two robbers made a dash
for their horses, using the bank
officers as a shield. On reaching
the street, however, the firing be-
came so hot that the bank officials
became demoralized and broke
away, leaving the bandits to cover
their own retreat. The battle on
the outside, between officers and
citizens, on one side, and robbers on
the other, was desperate one, re-
sulting in the killing and wounding
of the following persons;
George Buckinham, citizen, and
George Bennett, robber, were killed
outright. City Marshal Muckleroy,
shot through the abdomen, dan
gerously wounded, ], w. Mcqueen,
saloon-keeper shot through the
body, and it is feared, fatally
wounded, Chas. Leonard, citizen,
leg shattered, T. G, Summers, citi-
zen, shot in the hand Deputy
Marshal Will Stevens, who took
part in fight, at close range from
first to last and succeeded in killing
one Of Of the robbers, escaped inju-
ry.
A posse is in hot pursuit of the
remaining three robbers, and at
last reports, were only fifteen min
utes behind them. Rewards aggre-
eating $4,000 have been offered for
the bandits, whose capture is conf
IDENTITY expected. Intense excite
ment exists over the commission of
this devilish deed, in the midst of a
civilized community, and swift ret
ribution will be meted out to the
perpetrators, if captured, by an
outraged public. Two Of the re-
naming three bandits are known,
making their capture morally GER
tain.

Drawing Great Crowds of all Ma
tions-Puts Them all in Fine.
A LIGHT man called out to see
the famous Mexican doctor or
wizard Don Pedrito, yesterday af.
ternoon and found about 500 people
there ahead of him. All classes of
society were represented and nearly
all nationalities, Germans, French,
Americans, as we'll as MeXicans,
Negroes and others. A rope was
stretched across the front ward
and all were standing in line
awaiting their turn. The LIGHT
man was admitted as soon as he
applied and and was granted an
audience with the wizard, Mr..
Theo. Grandjean acting as
interpreter and P. Garcia as
spokesman. He said the old
mans name is Don Pedrito Jar
milo and that his birthplace is
Guadalajara, Mexico He claims to
be able to cure many difficult cases,
though he makes no great preten.
VI
The lame, the blind, the manned,
the sick Of all kinds were admitted
and prescribed for in rapid success
sion, while some came merely to
thank the doctor, claiming they
had been entirely cured.
One man said he had walked,
with a companion leading him, for
he had been stone blind for seven
years, from OlmOs, Starr county,
all the way to San Antonio, and
Don Pedrito had cured him. In
deed, he walked around apparently
as confidently as any other man
with good eyes.
Two consumptives who applied
for treatment were prescribed )
ice cold baths each, to be taken be-
fore breakfast.
The LIGHT man eventually be-
came er thueiastic and determined
to make a martyr of himself for
the benefit of suffering humanity
and theatre managers in particular
who have not enough space in the
front row. The doctor gave him
secret prescription guaranteed to
cure badness, if directions were
followed. The result will be duly
announced when the first hair be.
gins to sprOut upon the head OF
this prematurely pious and poorly
covered young man.
