Merely an Echo.

Washington, April 4.-Oficials OF the
bureau of animal industry do not regard
the action of the Canadian government
in directing quarantine officers to be
particularly strict in their inspection OF
cattle from the southwestern states as
being particularly important.
Practically, no American cattle are
sent into Canada because the restrictions
already enforced are practically pro-
hibitive.
Nevertheless the frequent reports of
the character of this one upon which the
Canadian government bases it's action
are annoying to the department, because
they are unjust to the cattle interests Of
the United States and tend TO the injury
of business with other countries The
officers of the bureau have been called
upon frequently of late, to reiterate the
assertion that there has been no proof
of the existence of a case of pluero-
pneumonia in this country for more than
two years. Every report that the disease
has appeared is investigated as soon as
possible by the inspector from the bureau,
and all of the scrutiny of these officials
have failed to bring to light an authentic
case during the two years past.
Only recently an outbreak of pluero-
pneumonia was reported to be in progress
in Kansas. The report was given cred
ence by Governor Morrill,. and by him
called to the attention of the department
but the careful examination of the dis
eaSed cattle which was at once made
proved they had no pleuro-pneumonia
The department does know upon what is
based the report received by the Canadian
government from Pueblo, but thinks il
may be an echo of the Kansas scare.

Cheyenne. Wyo.. April 4-Ser1ator
Joel H. Hurt. mayor of Casper, shot
and killed William Milne last night
for suspected intimacy with Mrs. Hurt
Mayor Hurt. who is one Of the
wealthiest stock men in Wyoming,
has an elegant home in Casper, and,
until year ago. maintained very
luxuriant establishment for his wife
/ and family of five children.
About year ago his oldest sen re-
ported to him that he had gone into
his mothers room unexpectedly, and
found her sitting on the lap of Will
liam Milne. one of Hurts sheep herd
ers. and part owner with him in sew
eral bands of sheep. Hurt Immediately
took his gun and Started on Mines
trail. but friends dissuaded the mayor
from killing him.
The matter. however. became pub
lie. and Hurt separated from his wife,
leaving her in possession of their
home. he spending most Of his time
in Hot Springs. Ark. He returned to
Casper after the adjournment of the
last state legislature. Of which he was
a member. in February. and has since
that time been investigating the stor-
les which have been in circulation
of Mines continued intimacy with his
wife.
Apparently satisfied of their truth.
he went cunning for Milne last evening,
with repeating rife and when he
met him. fired five shots at him. every
one taking effect.
Immediately after the killing. Hurt
gave himself up and was released on
bond pending a preliminary hearing.
William Milne was about % years
old. He had been in Senator Hurts
employ as sheep herder for a number
of years. and through the senator's
aid had secured an interest in several
bands of sheep. and was in a fair way
to become a wealthy man.
His slayer has been a prominent
figure in Wyoming politics for some
time.
Two years ago he was the choice of
large element in the Democratic party
for the governorship. but was beaten
in the convention by Governor Osborn.
He was. however. elected to the state
senate and has served two terms.
In Casper. the family troubles of the
Hurts have been the cause Of much
contention. about half of the town sid
ing with either side. A number of
leading citizens declare that the story
told by young Hurt was not true; that
Mrs. Hurt has always been a true
wife and mother, and that Hurt was
insanely jealous of her for no good
reason.
Others uphold the senator's cause.
and declare he should have killed
Milne a year ago.
Hurt is So years old and has lived
in Wyoming thirty years.

FREE SILVER THE CRY.
THAT WILL BE THE SLOGAN IN THE,
NEXT CAMPAIGN.
Illinois Democrats Already See the
Signs OF the Times, and Are Pre-
pairing to Meet the Only Issue
That Can Come Up.

Springfield, ILL.,, April 4.-The Demo-
cratic state central committee of Illi-
nois at a special meeting today issued a
call for state convention to meet at
Springfield, June 4 next. to consider
the currency question, which it is pro-
posed to make the issue for the next
campaign. The call says in part:
THE only national question now be-
fore the American people is that of cur
rency The next national campaign
must be fought out with the currency
as the issue between the parties and
it behooves the Democratic party, as
party, to assume a decided position
on this question and to draw it's party
lines according to the wishes of a ma
jority of its members. The basic prin-
ciples of Democracy forbid the decision
of important questions by the party
leaders without instructions from the
people, and it is therefore proper for
the committee to call on the Demo-
Gratis of the precincts, townships and
counties of this state to meet in con-
Vention in their respective localities, to
discuss freely the great question before
the people, to give expression to their
views in appropriate resolutions, and
to select delegates to a convention to
be held at the state capital"
AT the conclusion of the meeting
Chairman Hinrichsen in an inter-
view said he is in receipt of informa-
ton from every county in the state,
outside of Cook, which convinces him
that 80 per cent. of the Democracy
favors the free and unlimited coinage
Of silver at the ratio of 16 to l, with
out waiting for the action Of any for
eign government. The committee ex-
poets that the resolutions adopted by
county conventions will be in line
with this feeling. AS to the effect
upon the Republican party. Mr.. Hin
richsen said:
las a party they are pledged to
recommendation and can take no
other ground unless they straddle
the question. Thousands of them will
join the Democrats, for they believe
in free silver. I certainly expect to
carry the state and county in 1896.
This movement will be in effect the
Reorganization of the Democrat tic
party
Regarding the prospects of an in
dependant silver party he says: 1.-THE
begins at the wrong end.
A few men az Washington cannot
control 12,OO0.Oeo voters. The county
grated into a strong par
ty organization is the only way in
which political results can be pro-
duced. The extreme gold men in our
party will go over to the Republicans. /
The free silver men of all parties
must come over to the Democracy
and with our objectional statesmen /
the confidence of the |
people in the Democratic party will
be strengthened and confirmed.

Jones' Story.

Topeka, Kan, April 4.-Messenger ]. W.
Jones, one of the trainmen who was
wounded in the Rock Island robbery,
gives this account:
when the train was brought to a
standstill l opened the door of the ex-
press car to see what was up. At that
instant 1 saw several men rise up from
the grass in a little ravine along the
track. One of the robbers shouted TO
me: Take your head back. or I'll shoot
it off, l lost no time in getting my head
inside the car. 1 slammed the door and
locked it. Then the robbers opened fire
on the car, at least 100 bullets perforating
it. / was sitting on a mail sack with
my Winchester across my knee when
was struck in the left wrist and leg by
bullet. My arm fell limp at my side.
Then the robbers smashed in the door
and worked fully an hour trying to open
the safe. Failing in this, they all went
back and robbed the passengers.
while they were in my car, some one
carrying a lantern appeared some dis
lance from the car. One of the robbers
said: Watch me put that light out.
Then he fired in the direction of the
light and it disappeared, at once. An
other robber said: Well show the Rock
Island people they can be held up as
we'll as other roads,
The railroad has offered reward of
$1,000 for the arrest and conviction of
each of the robbers.

slow and particulars meagre. but the
story is as follows: 1t is reported that
the Indians had rebelled against the
authority of Lieutenant Victor z.
Stottler. who is endeavoring to compel
them to perform some productive la
Dor and partly earn their own living,
and that one of them assaulted him
with stone. AS the story goes, he
placed the refractory Apache under
arrest and then the Indians made a
rush. rescued the prisoner. drove the
agent and his employees into a house
and looted the agency store. This news
comes in a private letter In addition
several Mexicans who live on the
border of the reservation assert that
Lieutenant StottIer is in danger and
is running serious risk in remaining
al the agency without the support of
troops. Fort Stanton is about thirty
miles from the agency and Stottler
may procure the aid of the soldiers if
necessary. DR.. Howard Thompson, of
this city. whose father lives at the
reservation. thinks the danger at the
agency has been greatly exaggerated

THERE WAS A BATTLE.
Full Particulars, However, Not OBJ
tainable.

Wichita, Kan, April 4.-Late tonight
word was received from the territory
that the posse had come up with the
Rock Island train robbers and that in a
fight that followed one man was killed
and several wounded. Names are not
given and it is not likely that further
particulars can be secured toEght The
leaders of the robbery, it is now learned.
were Charles Bailey and Typ Wyatt. of
Ingalls,, Wayne county. They were recog-
nized by ex-United States Marshal
Grimes, who was a passenger on the
train. They were formerly prisoners in
his custody and greeted him courteously.
The others were evidently local thieves
from Kingfisher. The delay caused by
the robbers trying to open the express
car gave the passengers an Opportunity
What they handed to the robbers were
such amounts as they chose to give up.
The negro porter was forced to carry a
small sack and go in advance of the ban
dts. Bailey kept with him to see that
everybody "chipped in and Wyatt held
his Winchester ready to shoot any one
who dared to interfere.

THE TAYLORS' TRIAL.
No DOUBT THE JURY HAS BEEN
TAMPERED WITH.
Several People Make Statements
Very Damaging to the Defense
Great Indignation in Carroll
County.

Carrollton, Mo-. April 4.-There is
now no doubt that the jury in the
Taylors' trial has been tempered with.
Sidney Miller. prosecuting attorney of
Carroll county, obtained a statement
from Charles Dickinson, who was on
the panel from which the jury was
chosen, which is very damaging to the
defense. Dickinson swears that on the
Monday night before the trial began,
Jacob S. Williams, cashier of the Bank
of Tina, went to him at his farmhouse
and said that if, in case ne was
selected for juror he would stand out
for acquittal there would be big money
in it for him. and if he would succeed
in hanging the jury there would be
good money in it. Williams said that
he would see that the money was paid
The next day, Dickinson says he was
approached by Rich Smith, a brother
in-law Of Barney Hudson. who is now
on the jury, and Smith made the same
proposition that had been made by
Williams. Dickinson is one of the most
reputable men in the county.
There is great Indignation in Carroll
county that a jury could be found here
that could do anything but convict the
Taylors. No one has the slightest
doubt Of their guilt and the only reason

that there is the greatest Indignation
