j. Ii. Coleman Asks the Court to
Award Him S11,S30.
Los ANGELES, Dec. THE case of J.
IL. Coleman against the estate of John
q. Downey, deceased, was heard before
Judge Mckinley to-day. The plaintiff
claims that III the years 1864 he
handed over to the late Governor Dow
ney the sum of $1,000 in trust to be saved
for him, and of this amount, 80 he
alleges, received only 5000 in return. He
further contends, however, that on Sep
tember l, 1891, the late Governor Downey
employed him as his companion, but
that While the position was sufficiently
onerous, his salary has never been paid.
The plaintiff prefers claims of $4,000,
being the balance yet due on the trust
money deposited with Governor Downey,
ana $3.50, being salary as companion up
to the time of the Governors death.
The defense made general denial to
the several allegations, contending that
the claim Tor the balance of the money
deposited in the hands of the Governor
was stale before the latter's death, and is
forever barred. While denying that
plaintiff was employed as companion on
salary, a counter claim is set up that
Coleman owes 500 on promissory note
dated November I, 1892 and the court is
asked TO award this amount with ac-
crued interest.

Terrible Treatment of Pretended
Prophet in Indian Territory.

Terrible Treatment of Pretended
Prophet in Indian Territory.
GUTHRIE 20. t., Dec. IA story of
atrocity, smacking of the usages of a
parbaric country. comes from David a
small town in the interior of Indian Ter
ritory. Colonel A. J. Black well, well
known in the West, was arrested for SELL
ing land, and, according TO the Cherok ee
law, sentenced to death for high treason.
Blackwell, when the territory was
opened for settlement, founded the town
OF David, and started a new sect, pre-
tending to be prophet sent of God. He
engendered the lII-Wlll of a number of
Cherokees, who it is now said hatched up
conspiracy to put him out of the way
two weeks ago.
Blackwell was taken from the midst OF
his family by order of the Cherok ee
Council, and, being brought to Clare
mont, was placed in close confinement
and fed upon bread and water. On Mon
day, the story goes, Blackwell, after be-
ing clean shaven and stripped of his
clothing, was brought before Chief Ohaha

he was the victim of a malicious con-
splracy, and asked to be released. In

treatment horrible III the extreme. Ten

Fort WORTH (Texas), Dec, The To-
cal managers of the Pacific Express Conn
pany declare it is impossible to saw lust
how much the robbers who held up the
Texas and Pacific train west of here last
night got away with, as all the way-bills
are missing. 1t is believed they got verv
little booty, however, as it was mostly
local express matter. The contents of
the iron through package box arrived
here intact.
4 Sheriff's posse of fifteen men, led by
William Rea and Police Chief Maddox.
has been out with pack of blood hounds
since last night following the three rob-
bers. who are well mounted and armed.
and are travelling in southwesterly di-
rection.
The safe which the robbers looted was
the one which was opened in the Gordon
robbery a short time ago.
The best information obtainable war
rants placing the amount of the booty Sc
cured by the robbers at $4,000.
The officers are confident that the des-
peradoes are members of the Cook gang
and are making for indian Territory,
a detachment of the State rangers has
started to cut off their retreat.
The report sent out last night that gold
in transit 10 pay for Government bonds
had been secured by the train-robbers is
denied by the express officials The onlv
money secured by them was in the local
safe, which was unlocked when they en-
tered the express car. The through safe
was locked by time lock, and was not
opened by the robbers.
Messenger McEwen, at the express
company's Office, last night said: ut
was dark when | heard a loud noise at
the front door of the express car. The
door gave way, and the engineer and his
fireman were standing there. They held
picks in their hands, and had broken in
the door. Just behind them were two
masked men, / think one small, the other
large Both had Winchesters in their
hands, covering me. l was not prepared
for an attack, and could do nothing.
They forced the engineer and fireman to
proceed to my ear. They helped them
selves. I did not dream of trouble until
the door was broken and l found myself
covered with two Winchesters."

fact, the officers having the matter in
charge claim that two attempts have been
made on the life of Elsler.
A few evenings since some unknown
parties induced Elsler to accompany
them on little tour of the city. He was
not only treated like a prince but money
was offered him TO get him out of the
country. The result was the landing of
ElSier in the City Jail. The next day he
informed the Southern Pacific detectives
what had taken place, but said he refused
to take their money. The officers kept
close watch on their man for a time, but
as he was not again approached the mat
ter was lost sight Of
Now comes the story that on Wednes-
day night Elsler, while laboring under
an over-indulgence Of liquor. was set
upon by unknown parties, and had not
help arrived at an opportune moment he
might have beon gotten away with.
But those who desire TO get rid of this
important witness made their boidest at
tempt last night, and had it been success
fuI would have left no clue behind. 1t ap-
pears that they again caught him mapping
ana after getting him drunk took him 10
his room and dumped him on the bed,
turned on the gas and quietly left tho
place. Fortunately for ElsIer, some par
ties occupying a n adjoining room discov-
cred the escaping gas before il had time
to get in its deadly work.
From now on close watch will be kept
on Elsler.
