The annual meeting of the Col
umbian Interstate Fireman's Asso-
citation has been postponed till next
Tuesday, when delegates from the
several companies composing the as
ISOLATION will meet at the council
chamber and transact the business of
the association. At this time the
place for holding the next tourna-
ment will be selected. The compan-
les thst will be represented are Wor-
thington. Window, Luverne, Els
worth, Rock Rapids and Pipestone'
The town securing the tournament
must, put up at least $500 in prizes.
AS yet it is uncertain what town will
get the prize, as several towns will
bid for it. The coming tournament
promises to be one of the most excit-
ing vet held. Worthington has won
the prize cart twice, and will put
forth it's utmost this time to secure
the trophy, being required to win it
three times in succession.

London, August 1.-THE Daily News
has advices dated Armenia, July 80,
which says: The condition of the Ar
menians is worse than ever. They re-
gard Shakir Pasha as their worst en-
envy and his appointment as con-
temptuous defiance of Europe's de-
mand. Deliberate persecution, slaugh.
ter and pillage of the Armenians are
pursued today with the same ruthless
vigor and fiendish ingenuity as in
former years. Every day news ar
rives of fresh murders, wholesale i'm
prisonments and pillages. The au-
thorities in the great towns from time
to time march heavily -manacled gangs
of limping and wounded Armenian
prisoners through the streets. If the
sultan is counting revolution he will
surely have his way. Unless the perse.
cution is stopped the country will soon
be in such blaze that nothing short
of Russian occupation will extinguish

Commissioner wrights Report Upon
Its Operation.
Washington, August 9.-Carrol D.
Wright, United States commissioner of
labor, has forwarded to the secretary
of the interior his report on the opera
tions of the eleventh census during the
fiscal year 1S94-95. The report places
the total cost of the census up to date
$40, ADJ, 142. The appropriation now
available will be enough to finish all
the work, except the final printing and
binding. The chief cause of delay has
been the population schedule of the
population volume. Great care has
been exercised to eliminate errors. The
only other parts remaining uncomplet-
ed are the vital statistics, part of the
compendium and the second edition OF
the abstract and the statistical atlas.
Mr.. Wright hopes that the whole
work of the census may be completed
and given to the public before the end
of the present calendar year. Seven
volumes of the report, giving names OF
veterans of the war. their rank, ser.
vices and present address, have been
turned over to the pension Office. These
returns will be of great value to SOL
diers wishing to complete their claims.

Coughlin and George.

Salt Lake, August 7.-Coughlin and
George, the slayers of Sheriffs Stage
and Dawes near Echo Monday last,
have been captured and are safely
landed behind the bars in the county
Jail. The young desperadoes had sue
cessfully eluded the officials of three
counties for nearly a week being en-
gagged in the meantime in two en-
counters at short range. When the
sheriffs' posses and the Salt Lake city
police were securing the country east
of this city, the two men made their
way through the lines, stole two horses
in the suburbs Saturday night, and
reached Tooele county on their way
west. Sheriff Mcclellan, Of Tooele
county, was notified of their move
ments, and surrounded them this
morning in Willow canyon. The men
were taken by surprise, and surrend-
cred without firing a shot. They said
it was the first opportunity they had to
surrender without being shot down
like dogs. They arrived here at 4
o'clock this afternoon. The Jail is
besieged by crowds anxious to see the
prisoners,

Man and Relics Gone.

Chicago, August 9.-James H. Love,
of San Francisco. owner of one-eighth
in the Forty-nine mining camp, has
disappeared, and, by coincidence, lot
of property and relics exceeding &c.,
900 in value are missing. Among the
articles are the priced James w. Mar
shall relics, which include bedstead,
washstand, rocking chair, saddle,
clothing and weapons now held in
trust by the circuit court. An effort
to locate Love will be made in the be-
lief that with him will be found the
articles. On August 8, L. J. Witte was
appointed receiver of the Forty mine
mining camp by Judge Horton. White
at once employed experts to audit the
accounts. Some things were found,
said White. that strengthened the opin-
ion that money had been carelessly
handled. An inquiry at Loves board
ing house elected the information that
he had gone to Atlanta. Along with
the relics have gone as we'll all the
Mexican music which had been col
lected by the stock company at much
trouble and expense.

Says the Great Northern-Northern Pa
cific Deal Is Not Off.
st. Paul, August S.-President J. J.
Hill, of the Great Northern, today re.
turned and was promptly interviewed
on the status of the Great Northern
Northern Pacific matters. He denied
that the reported deal was off, and
said:
There are no negotiations whatever.
That part is all over. The next thing
to be done is for the Northern Pacific
security holders to reorganize their
property. This they must and will dc
for themselves. After the reorganiza-
ton is affected, then will come what.
ever we propose to do. If we secure
control of the Northern Pacific, it will
be because we have right to it. We
shall do absolutely nothing until the
property is reorganized.
SIS it likely that you will secure
control of the road after it is reorgan-
ized?"
"As I said, after the reorganization
of the road, if we have control of it, it
will be because we have a right to it. "
lis there any truth in the report
that you offered the reorganization
committee of the Northern Pacific a
guaranty of $6,250,OOO annual earn
ings, and they demanded $1,000, 900,
and on that split you called the deal
off?''
"There is not the least bit of truth
in any such report"

N ttempt to Run Thing :
Spring Valley.
PREPARATIONS FOB AN INVASION s { y


Spring Valley, H., August 8.-The
is very quiet in the city. The
negroes are making no efforts to get
back. The reports of armed negroes
coming from Peoria and Chicago to
avenge Sundays affair caused no I'M
usual excitement here. They would
have not only the Italian miners to
deal with, but every white miner in
the city as well, numbering about
1000. Word was sent in from Laid
and Toulca this morning promising the
whites all the necessary assistance, and
in case of an invasion, 5000 men,
white miners, could be mustered in
this city in less than two hours. They
do not express the least SORROW over
the event of Sunday. They claim to
have endured the outrages of the blacks
as long as they could. They claim that
the newspaper stories of negroes being
shot or MANNED are largely overdrawn.
About ten or twelve men were assault
ed with sticks and stoues, but no at,
tempt was made to kill. Had the moi
been so disposed, not one could have
escaped. The prime object, as stated
on the ground while the fight was al
it's height, was to scare them into leav'
ing never to come back again.
A meeting of miners was held today.
Several papers were denounced fol
their highly colored and distorted
stories. One news correspondent, who
was compelled to flee from town yes
terday, has not returned. 1t was the
middle class and business men who
ordered him to leave, so enraged were
they at his sensational reports.
Mayor Delmago received an anony
nous letter this morning, postmarket
Chicago, threatening to wipe him ant
the entire city out of existence if hi
does not use his position to get the
blacks back again. No doubt trouble
will again break out if they attemp
to come back. The Spring Valley Goa
Company has representatives at Seaton
vile trying to persuade the blacks t.
return, but the latter are satisfied tt
keep away.
The mines are still idle Five o'clocl
tonight was the time given the negroes
to get their effects out of Spring Val
ley. Nearly all their furniture ha
been moved to Seatonville, where mos
of them are getting work.
Governor Altgeld wired Mayor Del
mage today asking particulars. Tit
mayor telegraphed this reply:
Every effort has been made by the
municipal authorities of this city t.
protect life and property. No live
have been lost, nor has any propert.
been destroyed. One Italian residen
has been fatally injured by negr'
hihgwayman. Everything is quiet
and newspaper reports are exaggerated
Three negroes were injured who re
fused to vacate the location and insist
ed on remaining. They are not seri
ously hurt"
Information is received tonight tina
the governor is on his way here, and
mass meeting of miners will be hell
when he arrives.

Separated by Boomers.

San Francisco, August 8. -Bloomers
have caused the separation of Henry
Bach and his wife. If it were not for
these insidious garments their home
would still be happy. AS it is there is
little hope that they will ever live to-
gether again. Bach is wholesale
liquor merchant. Suspecting that his
wife was riding a wheel against his
wishes, he strolled out to a cyclery
near the park few days ago to see if
his suspicious were correct. He was
greatly shocked to see his wife not only
riding wheel, but arrayed in bloom
ers of the latest pattern. A scene en-
sued, in which Mrs. Bach's boomers
are said to have received rough treat
ment, and since then the couple have
not lived together.

Oakland, CAL, August 9.-Griet
over the death of his daughter, Miss
Mary A. Doris, caused the death of
James Doris, a blacksmith of San Le-
andre. Miss Doris died at Cloverdale
last Saturday, after lingering illness.
Constant anxiety over his daughter S
condition had preyed upon Doris
health until his friends were afraid to
inform him of his daughters death.
The news was broken to him gently,
however, and the body brought home
for burial. Doris insisted upon being
carried down stairs to view the re-
mains, and in few minutes afterward
expired. The doctors say his death
was the result of excessive grief and
the attendant nervous excitement.

foreman of herd of sheep owned by
the Platte Valley Sheep Company re-
ports that six masked men rode into
camp Sunday night, held up the herder,
saturated the wagon with coal oil and
burned it. They shot a half dozen
sheep and rode off, after telling the
herder they would wipe out the entire
flock if he did not get out of the park
at once. The company sent out arms
and ammunition today and say they
will stand their ground. Bloodshed is
likely to follow, as the ranchers claim
the range is in dispute.

was leaving the courtroom. The p1lsa
oner was in the custody OF the chief
taller, when Withholding young man
rushed from the crowd towards Dur
rant, with the evident intention OF as
saulting him. The jailer threw him
off before he could reach Durrant, and
the assailant then tried to draw his
pistol. He was seized by two deputy
sheriffs before he could aim his weapon.
Il is believed that the assailant was in
sane. A seventh juror to try Durrant
was secured in the morning session OF
the court in the person of H. J. Smyth,
a retired farmer.
A serious complication of some kind
has arisen in the Durrant case. Inc
exact nature of the trouble is not
known, but it is believed that the law
yers of both sides are dissatisfied with
one of the jurors accepted and wish te
have him excused. Within the last
day or two information is said to have
been obtained with regard to one o.
the Jurors which would have prevented
him from serving if it had been known
before he was accepted. The attorney
for both sides held cnsultation owe
the matter tonight, but at its close re
fused to discuss the subject.
Judge Murphy expects to get through
with the Durrant trial in less than
month. The court ANNOUNCED that tn
