There were Int two Of the roa7

the front boot of the stage securing
the treasure box.
When the first robber came opposite
to Jim, he drew back in surprise, ex.
claiming: well, I'll he darned!n
For second only he was off his
guard, but that brief space of time was
fatal one. a pistol cracked and he
fell shot through the head.

Both took effect: the second road

dim was wounded In the leg. A
Young esctor in the party stanched
the flow Of blood and we proceeded on
our way With the bodies of the two
bandits thrown into the hind boot.
The shooting was shrouded in mys-
terry so far as the passengers were con.
cerned. They ha d seen Jim's six-shooter
taken from his aolster by one of the
bandits, after which careful search
had been made to see that he had no
other weapon, but when we picked him
up derringer was clasped in either
hand. The question was how had he
managed to conceal them and bring
them into action at such an opportune
time? The mystery was solved when
his clothing was removed at the hotel
III Fairplay. Under his waistcoat was
the wire and elastic poker hold-out
formerly belonging to the gentleman |
from Texas. The nippers for holding
the cards had been removed and a cir
cuiar clasp large enough to securely |
hold the handle of derringer had |
been attached in their place. The gen
bieman to whom the continuance origi-
nally belonged was in the hind boot.
His surprise on recognizing Jim ac-
counted for his presence there. j

to have been killed, and four me-

The town is in a state of panic
and the telegraph operator is locked in his

SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, July 3o.-A
courier from Fort Wilson reached Briggs
tonight. bringing reliable news from the
Jacksons Hole country. The messenger
had covered over 100 miles in eighteen
hours. His view, as contained in dis
patch from Briggs, is to the effect that all
the people of the valley are gathered at
Wilson's ranch for protection. One hun
dred men are under arms. Night before
last 8 council of war was held and four
men were selected to locate the Indians,
but as yet the scouts have not returned.
No redskins have been seen for three or
four days.
4 consultation was held as to the ad-
visibility of going out and fighting the
Indians. 1t was, after hot discussion,
which threatened to end in fight between
those who wanted to go and those who
did not, decided to remain passive for the
present.
The camp covers over five acres, and the
vould-be soldiers are enjoying themselves.
They kill beef about every two days and
have plenty OF provisions. The Indians
are no doubt in the mountains, and may
make an attack on the settlers when they
are not looking for it, but the impression
is that if they had intended open warfare
they would have attacked Fort Wilson
before this.

NEW YORK, n. Y, July 30.-A Buz-
yards Bay special to the Herald says:
President Cleveland will not be candi-
date for third term. Though the Presi-
dent declines to discuss the question and
does not authorize any one to speak for
him, / have the best reasons for saying
tnat at the proper time he will make an
announcement of his unwillingness to be a
candidate for reelection. This announce
ment will be made over his own signature,
and will be emphatic enough to stop all
speculation as TO where he stands with
reference to the subject.
Mr.. Cleveland, so far as l can learn. has
at no time had any ambition to serve an
other term as President, but he does not
believe the time has yet come when the
announcement from him is desirable. He
recognizes the fact that nearly all the third
term talk comes from his enemies, or from
a few enthusiastic office-holders who would
like by such, or any other means, to hold
their present positions.

WOMEN MOB A WOMAN,

One Arm and Several Ribs OF the
Victim Broken by Her
TormentorS.

WATERFOWL, n. Y, July 3o.-Jay-
vile, village on the fringe of the Adlron-
dack forest. above Carthage, has been the
scene of punishment to frail woman in a
manner which has outraged decency and
which has set the wheels Of the law in
motion to punish the offenders.
Some time ago a man named John P.
Kirch and Mrs. Bert Coyey of Jayville
eloped from that place. Neither were
heard of until Saturday, when Mrs. Covey
suddenly returned. On Sunday two men
called on her, telling her that if she did
not Immediately leave the place she would
be tarred and feathered. She went to Pit
eairn on Monday and swore out warrant
for the arrest of the N who had threat
ened her. In the evening she returned
home.
When the train stopped at Jayville and
the woman stepped off she was suddenly
surrounded by crowd of men, who seized
her and took her into II : railroad freight
house, where they stripped her. There
was a crowd of women present in mems
clothing and with bIackened faces. The
men held the woman down on the floor
while the women applied the tar and
feathers with a paint brush, completely
covering her with the stuff, after which
they let her go. She was taken to her
mothers house, where a physician was
called and found that one arm and num-
of ribs were broken.
1t is claimed that almost all of the party
concerned in the case are known and war
rants will be Immediately sworn out for
their arrest.

MAKING READY FOR WAR,
Japan Is Preparing to Resist
the AggreSsionS of
Russia.
Authentic Information Received at
the State Department From
Captain Ryan.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, July 30.-The
Press tomorrow prints the following:
Secretary Lamont, who has been spend
ing few days with President Cleveland,
had important things to discuss with
the President. The Secretary's depart
ment has very important news just
received from the American Minister
in Japan and the representatives of the
War Department. Captain Ryan, who is
specially charged with the duty of observ-
ing the situation in Japan, has been urged
to report to the Government as fully and
accurately as possible upon the condition
of public feeling in that country and the
probability that it will again take the field,
or rather the sea, in war.
From this source the Government re-
ceived information that Japan is as rap
idly as possible making ready for war
with Russia. Her armies are being drilled
and strengthened. She is buying or pro-
curing large quantities of ammunition.
While she has not bought the Peruvian
warships, she is in negotiation with that
country, and will possibly be able to add
those vessels to the Esmeralda, which she
bought from Chile. The war spirit pre-
walls everywhere, and even if the Ministry
did not share it it would probably be COM
PEELED to yield to it.

HALIFAX, Nova SCOTIA. July 30.-The
section of Pictou County known as Nc
Lennans Mountain was visited by a tor

ever known in that section. At one time
there was a cloudburst, and the raging
torrent of water rushing down the hill

Trenches ten feet deep were cut in the
hillsides, and every watercourse in the
vicinity was turned into torrent, tearing
up the ground and doing much damage.
The lightning, which was terribly vivid,
struck several houses, doing slight damage.
The losses to farmers will foot up many
thousands of dollars.

Governor Richards Asked to Send Guns
to the Settlers.
CHEYENNE, WYo., July 30.-The
message OF Governor Richards, advising
settlers to remain on the defensive, caused
them to reconsider the action. taken at
meeting at which it was decided to make
an attack on the Indians and dislodge
them from their stronghold. Despite the
bitter feeling caused by the movement of
the troops to the scene of the trouble, the
settlers still feel that it will be necessary to
have the protection of the Federal Govern
ment until fall to prevent further trouble.
Governor Richards tonight received the
following dispatch from South Pass City:
SOUTH PASS, WYo, July 3O.-There is band
of from 100 to 300 Indians, all bucks, within a
half-day's ride of here. We have plenty am.
munition and men but need guns. Things
are looking shady. Can you send us few
stands OF arms? DR.. w. LovEJoY.
At $50 the Governor received the follow
ing:
LEWISTON, WYo., July 30.-w. A. Richards,
Governor-Can you send us few guns? There
is band of Indians near here. E. A. GUsTIN.
The Governor does not consider that
these settlements are in any great danger,
but has referred their dispatches to Colonel
R. R. Woodruff, inspector general of the
State militia, whose headquarters are at
Rock Springs.
At 10 o'clock this dispatch was received
by the Governor:
LANDER, WYo., July Bow. A. Rich ards,
Governor: There is considerable trouble; cause
for alarm here. Will the State or county bear
expense of the militia cooperating with civil
authorities? ORsoE GEIMMETT, Sheriff.
The Governor has already ordered the
militia TO cooperate with the civil author
tiles at Lander.
Governor Richards takes an opposite
view from Indian Agent Teters of that part
of the treaty of 1868 made with the Ban
mock and Shoshone Indians allowing them
to hunt on unoccupied lands of the United
States so long as game may be found
thereon, and so long as peace exists be-
tween the whites and Indians on the
borders of the hunting districts. He says
the land in the vicinity of Jacksons Hole is
is not unoccupied land as within the mean
ing of the treaty. At the time the treaty
was made this land was unoccupied, but it
has since been surveyed, and in 1890 the
Territory became State.
