bore evidence that the victim was
dead when cast in the water Around
his neck was a piece of rope about three
feet long, the moose around the neck in
true hangman's style. The other end
bore evidence of having been cut, show
ing that Scott had been hanged until he
was dead and then cut down and cast
into the river.
The body was minus a coat, but his
watch and chain and other jewelry
which were on his person the night OF
the tragedy, We're still there. The face
of the deceased confirmed the truth OF
the story told by Mrs. Scott, to the eff
feet that in the fusilade which preceded
/ her husbands capture he was slightly
wounded on the head.
The crime for which Scott paid his
life on New Years day was the embez
element of $4,000 of the funds of Hol
county and the subsequent failing %

poverishing nearly all of the farmers
and business men in Holt county. Thu

NO WAR SHIP AT HONOLULU
Action In Favor of the Queen Has Eu
couraged ROyslists to Rise Against
the Republic.

Washington, Jan. 19.-When Mr.. Bur
rows entered the house shortly after
the opening session he was greeted
with a round of applause. 1t was his
first appearance since his election as
United States senator.
The senate amendments to the pen
sion bill was disagreed to and the bill
sent to conference.
Mr. Hartman, republican of Mon
tana, asked unanimous consent for con-
sideration of a resolution directing the
secretary of the interior to suspend all
action looking to the approval of Sc
lections and patenting to railroads of
any lands selected under the rules is
sued July 8, 1894 until congress may
dispose of the bill now pending in the
senate and finally settle the question
of classification of granted lands. Mr..
Hartman claimed that 1892, 900 acres of
land were involved. Mr. Maddox of
Georgia objected but finally withdrew
the objection, but objection was raised
by Mr.. Tracy of New York.
The bill was passed to authorize the
secretary of the interior to correct
errors in which double allotments of
lands had been made to Indians
The house then went into committee
of the whole and resumed consideration
of the Indian appropriation bill. After
some debate Mr.. Boutelle got the floor
to offer a resolution on the Hawaiian
affair. He made an impassioned speech
which Mr.. McCreary of Kentucky Vainly
tried to interrupt Mr.. Boutelle said:
Il am not going into details on this
question. 1t is not necessary. l am not
going to say a word here that l don t
know will carry with it the sympathy
of this house on both sides of the cham
Der. ] know there is no sympathy on
the part of the American people OF
in the hearts of the American congress
either on the republican or democratic
side outside Of a small cOterie that
could be counted upon the fingers OF
my hand for the policy which led direct
~ up to this tragedy in Hawaii. Today
I learned that one of my dearest young
friends. a young man of American
lineage, has fallen fighting to defend
his home and fireside against an insur
rection stimulated by adherents of q
discarded monarchy and encouraged
by the action of the executive of tn,
government of the United States il
removing from the harbor of Honolulu
the last vestige of the moral supper
and sympathy of the people of the Unit
ed States"
AT this point the speaker announced
that under special order the remainde
of the day would be devoted to eulogiei
gies of the late Representative Kyle o
Kentucky. Mr.. Boutelle sought vainl,
to have the order set aside temporarily
until, amid great confusion, the speake
was obliged to order him to be sea te,
and to instruct the sergeant-at-arms t,
enforce the order of the chair. XVI
euologies were then delivered and thei
the house adjourned.

Harry Hayward Apparently Unconcerned
About the Outcome.

About the Outcome.
Minneapolis, Mimi. Jan. 21.-The trial
of Harry Hayward for the murder of
Catherine Cling was formally begun to-
day. Harry Hayward went to his seat
as blithely as if going to a theater. He
chewed gum vigorously and played with
his spaniel, while waiting for the pro-
ceedings to begin. w. w. Irwin
already well known from his connection
with the Homestead and Debs cases.
County Attorney Frank M. Nye, a
brother of Bill Nye, the humorist and
Alfred Fl. Hall, are prosecutors. It was
deemed significant that the attorney of
Claus BliXt sat upon the prosecutions
side of the table. Soon after the pro-
ceedings began Miss Julia Cling, twin
sister of the murdered woman, took a
seat not six feet from the prisoner. The
county attorney moved that the case
Of Blixt be reset for February 5, and
this was agreed to by BliXts attorney.
1t is believed the work of securing the
jury will consume a week.

PHILADELPHIA SAILED FOR HAWAI-
Warship viii Reach There Saturday
Large Shipment of Arms.

San Francisco. Jan. 2O.-The flagship
Philadelphia left here for Honolulu at
II o'clock this morning and it is expect
ed that she will make the run to the
islands in six days.
The oceanic steamer Australia was
to have left for Honolulu yesterday, but
her sailing has been postponed until
tomorrow morning. She will have a
small passenger list, as some of those
who desired to make a pleasant ocean
voyage have decided that Hawaii is a
good place to keep away from at pres
ent. The most conspicuous part of her
cargo viii be 1000 stand of arms and
about $4,000 rounds of ammunition that
is being shipped to representatives of
the government. The shipment viii be
stored in the hold near the matches. so
it can be reached quickly and landed
as soon as the steamer arrives at her
destination.

WAS ONLY A SMUGGLER.

Victoria, b. c., Jan. 20.-It is not be-
iieved here that the schooner Norma
had anything to do with the landing
of arms at Honolulu. The Norma was
chartered by +. j. Claxton, a represen-
tative business man, to take a cargo of
salmon to Honolulu. She was loaded
on the Skeena river and Claxton him
self was a passenger on her. Captain
Stevenson, who was mixed up in the
Emerald smuggling ring and fugitive
from San Francisco, is in command
The opinion is general here that there
was opium on board, but no one believes
that Claxton would have anything to
do with the smuggling. He is certainly
not man who would go on filibuster-
ing expedition. If it had been desired
to ship arms on the vessel, there would
have been every opportunity to get
them aboard, as the vessel was loaded
at an isolated place.

.THE FATTED CALF"
Some Entertaining Situations in the Piece
and SpeciaIties.

Some Entertaining Situations in the Piece
and SpeciaIties.
Amusing situations, entertaining spec
ialties, pretty girls and chic toilettes
characterized the performance at the
Grand last evening.
The house was small, fact partially
due no doubt to the heat
Mr.. Herman Hirschberg, who takes the
leading part of Squire Perley, and is
stage manager as well, does well in his
rather trying role.
Miss Jennie Lind Lewis has a sweet
soprano voice, which blends admirably
with Mr.. Hirschberg's baritone in the
duet from Don Bolero, which brought
them an enthusiastic recall.
The plot of the play is stronger than
that of the usual farce comedy. tbs too
talky. without enough action in the first
act.
Miss Nellie Sheldon caught the fancy
of the audience in her amusing imper-
sonation of an Irish woman.
Miss Reah Starr, who plays Squire
Perley's niece, is very clever, as we'll as
quite pretty, and was once leading lady
in the Eight Bells company.
Mr. Shirriff's whistling was one of the
best specialties, and was thoroughly ap-
preciated by the audience.
The play will be seen at the Grand
again tonight.

Cleveland has sent the following note to
Mrs. Hatch: "Dear Madam have not
fully reviewed the case, but sufficiently
to assure loving mother that her son
will not be executed October H."
Mrs. Hatch has made a wonderful
fight to save the life of Clyde Mattox,
her son, convicted and sentenced to be
hanged after one of the hardest legal bat
ties the west has ever witnessed. Clyde
Mattox, who had gained the name of a
terror in Oklahoma during the early days
of that territory, was accused of murder
ering negro named John Mullins
He was tried in the United States court
in September, 1890, found guilty, and
sentenced to death. Two new trials were
granted and the case was carried to the
United States supreme court, which
affirmed the action of the lower court,
and June % the sentence of death was
pronounced, October II being the date
