Port Townsend. WASH, Aug. H.
CONSERVATION has been caused In this
and adjoining counties by the appear
ance OF an army lieutenant and a
squad OF men with instructions to all
settlers on government reserves to va
cate the same before September Is or
be removed by troops. This move ID
the outcome of a recent order Of the
war department. and II Is estimated
that as a result 1900 settlers will lose
their homes. In early days when the
settlement OF Washington was begin
ming. the government took occasion
to set aside much valuable land. on
which 1t twas intended to establish
the Indians. These reservations on
the part OF the government exceeded
the needs of OCCASION and as It never
made an attempt to take up the land
many pioneers settled upon thu tracts
which by intelligent cultivation have
been developed into the finest farming
land In the state. II Is feared here
that trouble will ensue should the gov
ernment attempt to forcibly take from
the settlers the homes whioh they have
built by many years of toll It is
claimed by some that this action OF
the department Is simply preliminary
to the extensive and much-needed fort
lfcation of Puget Sound.

Indianapolis. Ind. Aug. 27-Indlan-
apolls will claim the right to try
II. II. Holmes for murder. The claim
will be based on the horrible develop
ments Of to-day, which include the
finding Of the charred remains OF o.
year-old Howard PitEel and evidence
which before any jury in the country
would convict Holmes OF having muir
dered and then partially burned his
body In stove. Detectives Geyer of

for weeks hunting for traces OF the
boys body.

and before they had been at work an
hour. their attention was called by a
local real estate dealer to a small va
cant cottage situated in the woods at
the edge OF town and far removed
from any other dwellings. The party
went TO the house and a few minutes
later the officers found beneath the
side porch the missing trunk. which
was taken from the side door OF the

In barn connected with the house
was large stove, OF cylindrical
shape, OF the same pattern Holmes
bought In Cincinnati. The stove had
been removed from the house to the
stable by the owner of the house after
Holmes left 1t was at once concluded
that the body had been burned in the
stove and search began for the re-
mains. Late this evening Dr. Barn.
hills attention was called by small
boy named Walter Jenny to the stove
hole. where the stove had been. II
was filed with refuse. This was
pulled out and the remains OF the body
were found. Physicians and dentists
were there. and In this refuse hun
dreds of pieces OF charred bones were
found. The teeth showed that the
body was that OF n boy between 3 and
| 10 years OF age. and all the other bones
confirmed this. All were charred and
pieces of flesh clung to some OF them
The skull bones and pelvis added ths
same convincing truth. The boy had
evidently been burned In cob fire In
the huge stove In the barn.
Howard's overcoat was found at a
grocery store near by, where Holmes
had left 1t. saying the boy would call
for 1t. He never came. Owners OF
the house recognize Holmes from pic
lures and several nelghbors distinctly
remember the tace. Several people
have identified him and all doubt Is
removed.

gust. Charles Wood. the name by

tive for the past week. IL he is not the
one who set the powder or he may
know who did the act. He has been
employed at the Eva May and the
Katie mines AMI has worked about
town doing odd jobs. His chief ambi-
ton has been to be detective and has
been anxious for an introduction to
Mr.. Buckley in the hope that he would
be employed by that gentleman TO
work UP the case. The officers are
keeping everything shady in connec-
ton with the case. as II Is believed
there are others who are Identified.
The probabilities are that the whole
thing will be sifted and the parties
who committed the act will be brought
to justice. The officers quietly made
the arrest about half past o'clock this
morning and took their prisoner at
once to the county jail at Boulder. A
preliminary examination was demand
