KILLED BY FARMERS.
There Is Little Doubt as to
Scott's Fate.
1t Is Believed the Defaulter Was
Murdered and His Body Thrown
Into a River.

CHICAGO, Jan. "A special from
O'Neil, Nebr., says: II is believed that
Barrett Scott has been murdered and his
body thrown into the Niobrara River.
Sheriff Hamilton and men tracked the
wagon in which Scott and Schmidt were
taken to within few miles of the river,
when all trace was lost. The quicksands
10 that section of the river would quickly
swallow any body thrown in.
Residents of the county in which the
crime was committed say that for the last
three or four days large number of men
have been riding through that portion of
the country, all being heavily armed.
Members Of the posse returned to the city
this evening with Nose Elliott as pris-
oner. He was turned over to the Deputy
Sheriff of this county and is confined in
the County Jail. He was arrested at his
home, about twenty miles north of this
city. The warrant was sworn out by
Schmidt. who charged Elliott with being
one of the mob who attacked them, shot
Miss McWharter and probably MUIR
dered Scott and spirited his body away.
Elliott is farmer living in Scott Town
ship, which was named after the missing
man, and has been an avowed enemy of
Scott for the last two years, fact which
the prisoner admits. When arrested he
said he was expecting it, and while he was
not always able to prove or explain his
whereabouts every day he could prove
where he was at the day and at the hour
when the attack was made on Scott. He
denied being implicated in the case aud
any knowledge of it, Schmidt insists that
Elliott is one of the men who shot at him.
Sheriff Hamilton and dozen men are
still in the country, and it is rumored that
four or five persons will be arrested to-
morrow. They have four men who were
in the mob spotted.

MADE A FATAL FIGHT.
Two Star Desperadoes Killed by
Officers.
Rounded Up in a Desolate Valley
They Made a Stubborn Bat
tie to the End.

GUTHRIE. o. T.. Jan. 1.-TWO star des-
peradoes, who have infested Oklahoma
Territory for long time past have been
run 10 the ground and made to bite the
dust. Before they died they fought their
pursuers and seriously wounded one of
them. The outlaws are Bob Moore and
George East both of whom are suspected
of having been implicated in the Canadian
Texas express robbery and the killing of
Sheriff McGee.
News of the affair was received at
United States Marshal Nix's office here
to-day. Deputy Marshal Bill Williams
and strong detachment of deputies had
been chasing the outlaws for several days.
They had traced them from place to place,
but had not got within lighting distance
until yesterday. Although the sides were
unequal. half a dozen or more deputies to
two outlaws, the latter were armed to the
teeth, and their natural desperateness,
strengthened by the box In which the
deputies had put them. had made them no
easy mark.
They were rounded up in desolate val.
ley in the southwestern part of Washita
County about noon and when commanded
to surrender took stand and began using
their Winchesters. Their aim was good.
for in the first volley one of the posse fell,
seriously wounded by ball in the side.
The next instant, however. both outlaws
were stretched on the ground dead with
bullets from the deputies guns in their
hearts. The outlaws were a veritable
walking arsenal and had they not been
killed so soon would, doubtless, have laid
some of the deputies to rest. They are
both old offenders with enviable repnta-
tions among their craft and their riddance
is Joyous news 10 the Territory officials
generally, as they were the constant dread
of OkIahoma

TO BUY PORT ARTHUR BACK.
Irritation of Japan Increased by
Delays
IN THE PEACE NEGOTIATIONS.
Unless Decisive Action Is Taken at
Once the Mikado's Men Will
Push the War.

PARIS, Jan. "A correspondent tele-
graphs from Shanghai as follows: II
learn on good authority that China will
offer to repurchase Port Arthur. but she
will not cede an inch of territory to
Japan.
Generals Neshong and Yehr, with 12,-
900 troops. have joined General sung.
The whole Chinese force is now massed
along the Liao river"
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-It is the belief
of officials in position to know the status
of affairs between Japan and China that
Japan will declare the peace negotia tions
off unless China hastens them. There is
increased irritation on the part of japan
as TO the delays in presenting definite pro-
posals.
More than month has passed since 1t
was agreed that a tender of peace
conditions would be considered by Japan,
and as yet the conditions have not been
offered and there is doubt of China's Dlenl-
potentiaries having The right to make any
final offers.
Already the japanese Government is in
clining to the unanimous demand of the
native press to make far greater demands
than were contemplated when the peace
negotiations began. At that time the gen.
eral understanding was that the basis Of
peace would be cash indemnity and the
independence of Korea. Now, however,
there is an intimation that Japan may no
longer accept the two conditions as pro-
posed. but may also insist on Chlna,s ced-
ing extensive territory.
This sentiment is universal and it is be-
Iieved that Japan will soon make it known
to China. probably through Minister Dunn
at Toxic, that procrastinaton in present
ing the terms of settlement is such that
the negotiations will be abandoned unless
closed within a reasonable and definite
time.
There are evidences that Japan is
prepared for an aggressive movement
calculated to impress China and the
plenipotentiaries with Japan's ability to
increase the advantage she has already
secured. A gentleman who has been
some years in diplomatic service in China
and Is an authority Oh International GUS
toms points out that it is an nvariable
rule with China not to grant absolute
power to her penipotentiaries, but merely
to confer advisory powers on them.

''I have no means whatever. We have
members who have not been able to do
anything. With my limited amount OF
$175 per quarter ! have divided with two
or three of our families to keep them from

thing more. l think the Strip which is
only year old. will be in much better
condition In another year, as they will
raise considerable crops.

General Olney, it seems. is not favorable

information from California concerning
Magee. and which may influence the At
torney- General one way or another.

him over the accommodation of the Cali
fornia delegation. 1t is said now that Mr..
Caminetti could have the place for himself
II he would consent to be candidate, but
he is still working for his law partner.
The outcome NAV be that Caminetti will be
selected as a compromise candidate. Mr.
Olney believes that Caminetti is an able
lawyer. Nothing will be done until Sena-
