quested Mayor Anderson to prosecute
the persons who sent out these reports
and also some provincial newspapers

from water. 1t is reported that the Fra

its course and several new bars were
formed, while others were washed away.
Soundings will have 10 be carefully taken

been made that the Dominion Govern
lnent place the river under control OF q
conservancy board, plan often adopted
in England.
At Chilliwack the water has fallen four
feet. Farmers Will soon be able to take
stock and estimate losses. The freshet
has washed away large amount OF land
at the mouth OF the river. Deas Island
is washing fast.
On Tuesday the Fraser River Fishery

OMAHA, June 14.-The Commonwealers
have stopped traffic at Julesburg. Last
and refused to move until given train.
They are thus holding all trains.
At 2:3O special train. crowded with
$50 heavily armed deputies, sped out of
the Union depot, via the Union Pacific,
for the scene of the trouble with the
Wealers. The deputies were armed with
revolvers, shotguns and rifles, and thor
oughly understood before leaving that
there might be some fighting done.
Chief Deputy United States Marshal
Coggeshall. who is acting Marshal during
the absence of Marshal White in Califor-
MIA, impressed the men with the necessity
of being cool, and that no violence should
be shown unless it was necessary. Mr..
Coggeshall and Deputy Liddard have
charge of the party of Deputy Marshals.
1t was said at the office of General Man
ager Dickinson this morning that the
Wealers would allow no one near them.
They all said they could take care of
themselves. 1t is believed that the rea-
son for refusing to allow stranger near
them was to prevent spies from aSsociat-
ing with them and ascertaining their
movements. The men were unanimous
in their declaration that they would not
walk East, and boldly asserted that they
would capture train and ride.
There has been considerable excite
ment about Union Pacific headquarters,
the Government buildings and army
headquarters. Superintendent Nichols
and Assistant General Solicitor Kelly of
the Union Pacific were closeted with US
tice Brewer and Judge Dundy this after
noon. The entire subject was thoroughly
discussed. The men in charge are reti
cent, but it was acknowledged that
trouble was anticipated, as the Common
wealers were growing restless and deS-
perate. and would, as soon as possible.
make break with train for the East.
Ii they give up peacefully there will be
no difficulty, but if they make any resist
ance conflict might ensue.
Just what will become of the men, if
captured, is not definitely known, or at
least if it has been decided upon it has
been kept secret. The probability is that
the men will be brought TO Omaha and
placed in the Coliseum until they could
be brought before the United States
Court.
Later kilograms from Julesburg say the
Commonwealers are divided into two
factions. One is composed of those in
clIned to be peaceful, and the other OF the
desperate men and the men who are de-
termined TO secure train and come East
at all hazards.

was filed in the courts this morning over
the estate of the late Richard S. Mesick.
The contestant is Louise \. Mesick. four

executor without bonds. This will was
in Judge Mesick's handwriting, and was
executed February Ii, 1888.
In the petition filed by Louise Mesck
she alleges that at the time this will was
MADE the deceased was IN a COnultlOn OF
physical weakness and mental imbecility
caused by old age and disease. She claims
that he was also insane and under the in
fiuence and control of his partner, George

securing greater part of the estate to
himself, and thereby depriving the heirs
at-law of their rights. She also alleges
that a few days before his death Judge
Mesick made another Will, which was in
