THERE is said o be decided differ
ence of opinion between the Southern
silver men and those of the West.
While the latter are determined to
make silver the chief issue in the next
campaign, the former are conservative
and still cling to the idea of bimetalism
and the use of both gold and silver as
the basis of national currency. This
will serve to keep them true to the
democratic party; whether the party de-
clares in favor of free silver or not.

Corbett, wife of the champion heavy

ably located in the Hotel Webster, the
leading hotel in the city. Since her re-

that she had arrived here two days ago and
was registered under the name of Mrs
Thomas Boate, Fanwood, n. ].
AT the hotel no information could be Sc

failed. At first she averred that Mrs
Boate was her right name until a gentle
man formerly from San Francisco met
her. She admitted then that Mrs. Corbett
was her name and told of her trip to
Yankton, where she learned that she
would have to remain six months to es.

NOT GUILTY, SAY JURORS
Failure to Convict the Alleged
SlayerS of Barrett
Scott.
Close Of One of the Most Celebrated
Cases Ever Tried In Ne
braSka.

BUTTE, NEBR., June 7.-Notwithstand-
ing the heavy rain that was falling when
court convened this morning, standing
room was at a premium. Many people
came from remote points to hear the clos
ing argument and instructions of the
court in the celebrated Scott case, which
has occupied the attention of the public
for the past two weeks. M. f. Harrington
continued his argument in behalf of his
clients, and spent nearly two hours.
The court then read the instructions,
which were very lengthy. In the matter
of venue he instructed the jury that it
would be necessary to find beyond rea-
sonable doubt that Scott was hanged or
came to his death in Boyd County in
order to convict. He also Instructed the
jury that political parties and factions and
sympathy for the friends or relatives of
defendants of Scott should not be con-
sidered in arriving at verdict. The in
structions were fair to both the State and
the defense.
The Jury was out just one hour and five
minues when the bailiff announced to
Judge Kinkaid that the Jury had agreed
upon verdict. The verdict was fled, and
then in clear but trembling voice Clerk
Rowland read the two words, mot
guilty."
This closed one of the most famous cases
ever tried in this part of Nebraska, and the
fact that the Attorney-General prosecuted,
and also that the crime was charged to a
political party, made it one of the most inn
portant ever tried in Nebraska.

COAST SERVICE RIFLES,
The First of the Modern
Weapons Will Soon Be
Com pleted.
Continued by the Army Board
of Ordnance.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 27.-In-
formation has been received by the Army
Board of Ordnance and Fortifications that
the first or type rife of the 100-gun contract,
made by the Bethlehem Iron Company in
1891 by direction of Congress, will be COM
pleted and delivered during the current
month, and that the other rifles of this
(S-inch) caliber and also the type guns of
the 10-inch and Pinch calibers are we'll
on toward completion and will soon be
delivered.
The contract with the Bethlehem Iron
Company was for twenty-five 8-inch, fifty
10-inch and twenty-five 12-inch high power
modern seacoast rifles, which amounted
to nearly So, 800 900, and was awarded to
this firm, which, in order to carry out the
conditions of the contract, has expended
nearly 81 600 900 in enlarging its plant.
The object of Congress in providing for
this contract was that there should be
established in this country some private
plant capable of turning out high-power
seacoast rifles of the modern type in addi-
ton to the army gun factory at Wateryliet
Arsenal.
Although the attempt to fire go pounds
of the high explosive emmensite from one
old 15-inch gun resulted in the destruction
OF the gun by the premature explosion of
this high explosive last month. the board
has nevertheless decided to continue ex-
periments with this explosive for the rea-
sion that it is the most promising high
explosive thus far tested by the Govern
ment, and the charge (230 pounds) which
resulted in the destruction of the old, 15-
inch gun used was more than double that
which would be likely ever to be used in
military operations; and furthermore, it
appears that the she'll containing the large
charge referred to was not in a condition
favorable to the successful firing of the

MONEY PAID FOR A PARDON.
The Wealthy Buffalo Man Did Not
Do the Right Thing by His
Client.

BUFFALO, Y. Y, June PA startling
part of the Cotte kidnapping sensation was
learned this morning from one of the
officials who made the investigation. This
story fastens the identity of the leader in
plot. His name is John C. Emery, once a
prominent citizen of Buffalo.
Some years ago Emery, who was living
in Cincinnati, was arrested for violation of
the postal laws. He was tried, convicted
and sentenced TO long term of imprison-
ment, but escaped and made his way to
Canada. After time he opened negotia-
tions with Mr.. Cottle, who was an old
friend, for securing pardon from the
Governor of Ohio, and offered to spend
money to bury the secret.
Mr.. Cottle promised to do what he could
for him and was paid over large sum,
said to be between $4,000 and SIT 600. What
ever Mr.. Cottle may have done for his
client he did not get him a pardon, and
Emery dem anded the return of the money,
which was refused.
Emery then wrote that he could not
come TO the United States to sue for it, but
he would take other means to get it. 1t
appears he then obtained confederate
and planned this job. 1t is also
learned that ever since last Mon
day Edward P. Cottle, the lawyers son,
was in Fort Erie, negotiating with Emery
for the return of his father, Emery holding
out for a larger sum than the Cottles were
willing to pay.
The man who drove Mr.. CottIe to the
Baynes-street house is George Allen, an
escaped convict. The police are trying to
find Emery, but SO far have been unsuc-
cessful

AN INNOCENT INDIAN
Terribly Tortured by a Wild
Mob in an Oklahoma
Town.
1t Requires the Presence of Cavalry
to Prevent the Reds From
Retaliating.

WASHINGTON. D. c., June 27.-Cap-
, tain A. E. Woodson, Indian Agent of the
Cheyenne and Arapahoe Indians in Okla
homa, has forwarded report to the Indian
Bureau of the arrest and brutal treatment
of a young Indian named Cosah Red
Lodge, who was accused of having as
saulted white woman about 60 years old
in that Territory. The particulars of the
affair. as reported by Captain Woodson,
are substantially as follows:
There was no jail at Arapahoe. A guard
OF citizens were detailed by the Sheriff to
protect the prisoner pending his prelimi-
nary trial before the County Judge. The
guard took him to the edge of the town,
where game of baseball was in progress
When near the place Red Lodge saw the
crowd and became frightened, thinking
that thew had collected for the purpose OF
hanging him. He jumped OUT of the
buggy and asked the guard by signs to
shoot him, preferring death by shooting to
being hanged by the mob. When the
crowd saw him they gave chase. The
Sheriff, being nearest to him, opened fire
and continued shooting until he had emp
tied his revolver. Cowboys with lariats
gave pursuit and attempted to hang him,
AS they approached he ran toward them.
making signs, pointing to his head and
breast, indicating that be wanted to be
shot. He was shot in the abdomen by the
Sheriff and the citizens beat him horribly,
cut him with a knife and otherwise in
fiicted brutal treatment upon him. He
was then taken in an insenslble condition
to the town, where his wounds were
dressed.
Captain Mackay's troop of the Third
Cavalry, twenty-five miles distant, was
brought to Arapahoe and encamped near
the town, and its presence served to
quiet the Indians and to give safety to the
citizens of the town, who were now in
dread of retaliation by the Indians. Wood.
son says he cannot too severely condemn
the action of the Sheriff. Three days after
the shooting an examination was made by
the Judge of the local court-the wounded
prisoner being brought into court on a
mattress-which resulted in his discharge,
it having been clearly shown that be was
innocent of the crime. The woman herself
stated that he was not the guilty party.
He was then released and taken by his
parents to their camp.

EXECUTION OF Il MURDERER.
Sickening Scenes Witnessed Upon a
Pe,liteLfinru NcafoLd.

Sickening Scenes Witnessed Upon a
Penitentiary Scafotd.
COLUMBUS, OHIO, June 27.-Michael
McDonough was hanged in the annex of
the State prison here this morning. There
was a shocking scene in the execution
room. In his Imprisonment he had grown
heavy and his flesh and muscles soft. The
drop was long one, over six feet and the
momentum of the body was such as to pull
the head almost entirely from the body.
Blood spurted from the neck upon the ex-
ecutioners and spectators, and the prison
physicians who grasped the wrists were as
bloody as butchers in few minutes. The
drop fell at 1908 and and at 1919 he was
pronounced dead. No guillotine execu-
ton was ever more bloody than this one.
McDonough met his death bravely. On
the scaffold he made no reference to his
crime, only saying that he forgave every
body.
The crime for which McDonough was
hanged was the murder of his wife, Mary
McDonough, in Kenton, their home, on
September 8, 1894. Though they were both
over go years OF age he was jealous of her.
