PLAYED A CLEVER GAME,
Arnold Received Considerable
Sums of Money to Buy a
"TrousSeau."
Men of the West Who We're Anxious
to Marry Contributed to the
SWlndIer.

CHICAGO, Ill, May 15.-C. G. Arnold
OF this city was arrested to-day, charged
with using the mails for fraudulent pur-
poses. He has made practice of insert
ing matrimonial advertisements in various
papers representing himself as woman.
Then he would induce his male CORE
spondents to send him money, with which
to buy trousseau."
The authorities have quite collection
of letters from Arnold's reputed dupes.
They are all addressed to either Miss Clara
LeClaire, Miss Cora Williams or Miss Jen-
ME May Lamont. The only evidence of
any money procured by Arnold's epis-
tolary efforts is plaintive ap-
peal from M. o. Thomas of Bry-
antville, Mass, who writes to
the inspector that he corresponded with
"Miss Lamont all of last winter and en-
gagged himself to marry her. He sent her
$50 to buy a wedding trousseau and a gold
band to seal the matrimonial compact
When Thomas letter was shown to him,
Arnold laughed and remarked: ''That guy
got out marriage license for US. I sole
his ring for 49,"

VENGEANCE OF OUTLAWS
They Surround a Fortified
Cabin and Garry Off Their
Victims.
TAKEN TO THE MOUNTAINS
There the Disciples of Bob Ford
Were Undoubtedly Hanged In
Short Order.

GUTHRIE, o. T., May 15-Friends Of
Newcomb and Pierce, the Territory out
laws, who were betrayed by supposed
friends and cowardly assassinated neal
Ingalls, two weeks ago. have avenged the
death of their comrades.
According to the story of a courier who
came in to-day from ingalls,. o. T., John
Calvin and William Dunn have been kid
naped by number of the dead outlaws
friends and lynched. At the time of the
killing local detectives took upon them
selves the glory of the capture of the out
laws and put in claims for the large
rewards that had been offered for theil
heads.
A week ago, however, the Dunns, al
whose house, near ingalls,, the outlaws
stopped on the night of the killing, were
charged with betraying them into their
home under guise of friendship, and after
getting the two desperadoes drunk riddling
them with bullets as they slept They had
it was said, been promised large sums q
money by detectives who had claimed the
rewards.
The friends of Newcomb and Pierce
openly swore revenge. The Dunns barri-
caded their place, secured supply of arms
and ammunition and made their ranch g
veritable arsenal.
They laid low until Sunday, says the
courier, when some of them were seen
about the place, apparently void of feal
and believing that the expected raid was a
bluff. That night the usual strict vigilance
kept by the brothers was relaxed, in the
further belief that they were free from
molestation. The act, it appears, proved
fatal, and the three brothers were easily
taken by their enemies.
Late Sunday night a body OF heavily
armed men drove up to the Dunn cabin
and forming Gordon around it called
upon the brothers to come out and sur.
render themselves, the marauders having
previously fired a volley into the air tc
awaken their intended victims.
When the Dunns, John, Calvin and Will
liam, saw the number of those without
they readily realized the worthlessneess Of
making fight and were quickly surround
ed. The women folks tried to dissuade
the captors from carrying out their pur'
pose, but were rudely pushed aside.
The Dunns were placed upon horses, ano
being told not to make an outcry were
hastily driven off toward the mountains.
Since then nothing has been heard Of
the band or its captives, and the general
opinion is that the Dunns have been
lynched as the feeling against them was
most bitter Searching parties are out
looking for the bodies, but as the des'
peradoes probably took the victims to one
of their mountain rendezvous the prospect
of tracing them is very small.

Il CLASH OF LAWS.
Trouble Likely to Result If Vessels Are
Seised for Carrying arms.


WASHINGTON, D. c.. May 15.-It can
be stated authoritatively that British ships
will be sent to Boring Sea to patrol against
poachers and to use every effort for the
carrying out of the Paris award and the
British law based thereupon.
The instructions to the British ships
will not, however, direct the seizure of YES
sells found with arms, but will require
other external evidence of sealing, such as
the possession of skins, the presence of
blood on the ship, etc., as a basis of seiz-
ure. This will differ from the instructions
of last year, which made the open posses
sion of arms prima-fdcie evidence.
The British law, based on the Paris
award, does not forbid the open carrying
of arms. The United States law, which is
held by the authorities of Great Britain to
have gone beyond the Paris award, makes
the open possession of arms prima-facie
evidence of sealing.
;. The British regulations last year yielded
to "a certain extent to the United States
law. Now. however, the British law will
be strictly adhered to, the theory of the
British authorities being that the Paris
arbitrators had the. amplest means of pro-
=: viding against the determination of the
seals, and that award fully executed
will give full protection.
Under these circumstances, a serious
question arises as to whether United States
naval vessels will apprehend British seal.
ers because they openly carry arms, this
not being against the British regulations.
Last year United States ship appre-
hended the British sealer Wanderer under
section 10 of the United States law, which
provides that possession of arms is prima
facie evidence of sealing. Again United
States ship apprehended the British sealer
Favorite, on the same grounds.
This raised the question whether a
United States naval ship has the right to
execute a United States law against Brit
L: ish ship when the British law recognizes
# no such offenses. There is reason to be-
lieve the British policy hereafter will be to
allow United States ships to apprehend
British ships under the British law, but
not under the United States law.
: AT the request of the British embassy
Earl Aberdeen, Governor-General Of
Canada, has been directed to furnish
the list of ships for the patrol of Berine
Sea. He will forward il as soon as it is
received from the commander of the
British feet at Vancouver.
In view of these facts it is declared by
the representatives of Great Britain in
Washington that there will be full and
sincere cooperation in the patrolIing Of
Boring Sea against poachers.
1t is insisted that the serious apprehen.
sions OF the officers of the United States
Government are not justified, these off
GERS having grave fears that the result o.
Great Britain's modification with respect
to firearms will be the determination of the
seals

Provisional Gocernnaent.
NEW YORK, N. Y, May 15.-Reports
received here indicate that since the provis-
ional government was set up in Peru, the
bonds of the Peruvian corporation have
risen seven points and are now at 43. This
advance has caused surprise as it was be-
lieved that the new administration would
take steps to annul the contracts under
which the corporation controls all of Peru's
railroads. tits said the bonds are being
bought up by Frenchm1n who wish to get
control OF the bonds. A majority of the
those interested in the Peruvian Corpora
ton are Englishmen. Sir Alfred Dent is
its president; ex- Mayor William r. Grace
and his brother, M. P. Grace, own con-
siderable stock in it.
The election for Congressman, will be
held IN Peru June o. The new congress
will elect President. The withdrawal of
Valcarsol and Caceres from the race leaves
the field clear for Pierola.
