EVICTION POSTPONED
Secretary Smith of the Interior VIII
Not Dust the Cherokee Intruders
Next Wednesday.

WASHINGTON, DEC. 29.- The Sec
retary of the Interior today settled
for himself the question of the evic-
ton of so-called intruders from the
Indian Territory without waiting for
action upon the part of congress.
AS is generally known, there was an
act of the last congress which pro-
vided that the general eviction should
take place on the 1st of January
next. This has caused a good deal
of alarm and uneasiness among the
intruder class, and there have been
any number of meetings held in
Indian Territory and any number of
petitions and memorials sent to
congress on the subject.
There are two delegations in Wash
ington at this time, one headed by
Chief Boudinot and Chief Harris of
the Cherokees and the other by
several members of the Watts family,
who have petitioned for and against
eviction. Secretary Smith heard
arguments from both parties and
decided that eviction at this time
would impose a hardship upon the
intruders which they by no means
deserved and would bring about the
destruction of a great deal of i'm
movable property. The secretary
will therefore, by the authority vested
in him postpone the proposed evic-
ton until either congress takes some
action in the matter or he deems it
expedient to proceed
I 1t will be remembered that Senator
Jones of Arkansas recently had pass
/ ed by the senate resolution extend
. ing the time limit for this eviction
until congress should take definite
action upon the rights of the in
/ truders. This resolution came to
the house and met with some OPP
1 position from Indian sharps who
thought that such a postponement
was too indefinite and desired the
matter to be referred to the COM
mittee on Indian affairs, and that
I they make some conclusive investiga-
ton in the matter.

Concessions Are Favored.

New York, July 10.-The United States
Cordage bondholdefs' protective COM
mittee is said to be in favor of making
certain concessions to the stockholders
in return for money for working capi-
tai. To that end the bondholders would
scale down their holdings and the stock
holders would receive first mortgage
bonds then liberated. The bondholders
would probably reduce rates Of interest
for several years to enable the com
pany to get on a sound working basis.
The bondholders' committee is said to
be at work on plan of reorganization,
which will deal equltably with all class
es of securities. 1t is understood that
neither committee has a majority of
the bonds. 1t is said the committee has
now on deposit about $2,00O,0Oo and has
promises that will give it $3,000000.

PROSPECTS ARE PooR.
Condition OF Fruit Crops a disappointment
to the Growers.


Springfield, July 10.-The American
Agriculturalist will publish this week
the results of an elaborate inquiry
throughout the United States and Cana
da into the condition of the fruit crop
Of 1896 1t will say:
With some exceptions the condition
of fruit crops the first of July is proving
a great disappointment to growers. The
consolation is that it might have been
much worse, and in fact at one time
promised to be a general, If not a uni
versal failure. This, too following one
of the most brilliant beginning in
years Whatever is actual shortage is
finally determined must be charged
primarily to untimely frosts last May
followed by subsequent drought in
many many states. Here and there the
condition could not be much improved,
but this is the exception. In most of
the northern and eastern states espec-
tally a decided shortage is visible and
in many counties certain varieties are
a complete failure, judging by returns
from upwards of 5000 correspondents.

As John M. Fitzgerald's express team

yesterday afternoon the horse became
frightened, sprang to one side, fell and
broke the shaft of the wagon. He then
swerved and struck against a heavy
truck which was standing near by, at
the corner of Crown and College streets
and broke his leg, SO that it became
necessary to kill him. Six shots were
fired into him, but none took effect, and
its was found necessary to hit him on

The horse was killed about o'clock
and lay in the street, a CHASTITY spec

when it was finally removed. Prior to
that time several efforts were made to
have some of the authorities have the

FOUND THE BOY WAS DEAD
a FARMER NEAR BRIDGEPORT
UNDER ARREST FOR MURDER.

He Struck the Lad on the Head and Rem
dered Him Unconscious and Then Loaded
Him Into "a Wagon and Drove to Bridge
port, But When 1t Was Attempted to Take
the Youth Out a Corpse Was Found.
Bridgeport, July 10.-At 1920 o'clock
Tonight Peter Winter, farmer liv-
ing on Chopsly hill road in North
bridgeport, drove to this city and de-
livered himself up to the police. He
said that he had killed a boy employed
upon his farm. The officers In charge
at police headquarters thought that the
man was insane, but he brought them
out to his wagon, which was outside,
and showed them the body of the VIC
tim, William Butler, aged twenty-five
who had worked upon Winters farm
for several months The police locked
the farmer up and the body OF the
boy was lifted out of the wagon ana
carried into the morgue.
The story of the affair as told by
Winter and corroborated by his hired
man, Ludwig Rueck, who witnessed the
assault, is that the lad got drunk yes
terday afternoon on hard cider and be-
came abusive Butler, it is claimed, de-
manded more drink of the farmer, but
Winter refused to let him have any
more Then Butler took up stones and
threw them at the farmer, who ran
into an outhouse for shelter. He was
soon driven out by Butler, who removed
the stone foundation and undermined
the building. Under a shower of stones,
Winter fed to his own house, but the
unruly boy broke down the door with
stones.
After threatening the boy, but with
no effect, Winter picked up heavy
stick which he was cutting into a Whit
fietree and struck the boy hard blow
over the head as he made rush for
him after breaking down the door.
The blow knocked the boy into an un-
conscious state and he dropped to the
floor. The farmer became frightened at
what he had done and hitching up a
horse he put the boy into the bottom
Of the wagon and started for this city
to get medical aid. On the way down
the road about a mile and a half from
his own house, Winter stopped at the
house of Buffers stepmother, Mrs.
Callahan, and told her of what had
happened to the boy. Mrs. Callahan
jumped into the wagon with Winter
and both continued on to this city.
Before they reached the police sta
tion young Butler had died. In the
morgue an examination was made by
Medical Examiner Downs of this city
and it was found that the boy had died
from fractured skull In addition

ter is charged with manslaughter. He
will be brought before the city court
