KILLED BY A DESPERATE THIEF
Officers at Wileyvllc, West Virginia,
Victims of n Deadly Fusilade.

O1IlCSiS at " liz W CSA II
Victims of Deadly Fusilade.
Wheeling, w. Va, Nov. ia terrible
tragedy occurred this afternoon at Wi
leyville. The result is the death of one
man, an officer of the law, who was in
stantly killed, the fatal wounding of an
other and serious injury to third, and
the escape of the perpetrator.
Last summer John White was arrest
ed and convicted of robbing freight cars
at Hundred, on the Baltimore 81 Ohio
railroad. In August he escaped from
the jail at New Martinsville. Since that
time the officers have been looking for
the man. This afternoon Constable
Ferbee learned that White had been
seen at Wileyville. When Ferbee at
tempted to make the arrest, White shot
and instantly killed him. The tragedy
occurred on the outskirts of town and
was witnessed by several persons.
Among others were James Baird and
citizen named Hibbs, who attempted,
with the others, to overpower the muir
derer. White, who was now thoroughly
aroused, pumped cold lead into them
without hesitation, bringing down
Hibbs with a wound in the stomach
from which he will probably die, and
catching Baird in the leg. This intim-
idated the others, and White escaped.
1t is reported that posse has been or
ganized and is after the murderer with
prospects of a lynchfng.

Contention Of Winans Brothers
to Stop Indians From Fishing.
COURT HELD AT WALLA WALLA
The White Swan Indians Made the
Agreement With Governor Isaac
Stevens in 1855.

Walla Walla, Wash, Nov. 18.-In the
United States court this evening the
demurrer in the case of the United
States as guardians of Thomas Stimp-
son and the White Swan Indians VS..
Winans Bros. was argued and taken
under advisement by Judge HanfOrd.
This action was brought last July by
plaintiff to restrain defendants from
interfering with the Indians while en-
gagged in fishing on the Columbia river
on the Washington side opposite Cello,
at which time a temporary injunction
was issued.
In their complaint the Indians al
legged that by a treaty with Governor
Isaac Stevens at Walla Walla in 1855
the Indians coded all claim to the lands
in the then territory of Washington to
the United States government with the
exception that they have the right to
engage in fishing along the Columbia.
Last June Winans Bros. forcibly drove
the Indians from the fishing grounds
and assaulted them.
Defendants in their demurrer claim
that the treaty is not valid and that the
Indians had no right to occupy the
lands in question.
Plaintiffs are represented by District
Attorney Brinker and defendants by
r. f. Mays of Portland.
In the United States court today
Fred Coleman and Patrick Murphy,
who pleaded guilty of robbing the
Wallula postoffice two months ago,
were sentenced to serve five years each
in the United States penitentiary at
McNeil's Island. Twelve men convicted
of selling liquor to Indians were SEN
fenced to terms ranging from four
months to a year in the United States
penitentiary.

NO REIMBURSEMENT TO INDIANS
Lands in Kansas Taken When The Red
Man Had Been Driven OFF.

Davis delivered the opinion of the ma
iority Of the court claims today, dis
missing the petition III the case Of the
New York Indians, who claimed from
the government $1,000 600 because Of al
legged loss of certain lands in Kansas.
In 1888 the government agreed to set
aside land for the Indians in what has
since become the state of Kansas and
give them funds and establish them
selves in homes. Less than 400 Indians,
however, were removed and after a
lapse of several years the land in Kan
sas was given over to white settlement.

November 10, says:
Five negroes were found hanged yes

strike out Woburn, Quincy, Milton,
Arlington, Brookline and Stoneham from
the list Of 90 cities and towns comprising
the metropolitan water district. The bill
was ordered TO third reading. The sem
ate reconsidered its adoption of the Bos-
ton "Lexow" order and referred the mat
ter TO n committee -of-Ave to decide
whether an investigation of the depart
ments of Boston is just now practicable.
The house engrossed the Boston city
charter bill in materially the same form
in which il issued from the senate cham
Der. The bill permitting any street rail-
way company using electricity to use the
tracks and motive power OF a competing

or horse railway thereon. The house had
previously engrossed both the bills The
governors message vetoing the Holyoke

ute $500 for Memorial day observance was

ported against the house bill to increase

quirc the Old Colony Railroad company to
restore the ferry between New Bedford

MURDER AT MANCHESTER
Ex-Patrolman stockweIl Shoots arr kills
Sergeant McAIlisteP.

MANCHESTER, n. H., May 22.-Sergeant
Henry McAllister of the Manchester police
department was shot and instantly killed
about II o'clock last night by ex-Patrol-
man Fred A. Stockwell. Stockwell fired
five shots at McAllister in the watohroom
of the police station.
Stockwell had some imaginary griev-
ance against McAllister and while crazed
with drink committed the deed. About q
week ago Stockwell suddenly resigned
from the police force, without apparent
cause. Later it was found that no had been
drinking heavily while on duty, and on
the supposition that it would become
known, he resigned rather than be dis
missed. Since then he has been seen
around town In more or less intoxicated
condition. He has frequently stated to
officers and citizens that Sergeant MoAl-
lister and Captain Hildreth were the cause
of all his troubles, and that they had been
Watching him continuously.
Last night Stockwen was reported to the
police for making trouble on the west side
Of the city, and Sergeant McAllister
started out to investigate. Shortly after
he left the station, Stockwell went in and
told Captain Hildreth that he was going
away and would like to get his things. He
proceeded to get .hem, and was in the
watohroom when Sergeant McAlllster re-
turned from the west side. When told
that Stockwell was in the watchroom, he
went out and sat on the lunch table.
Captain Hildreth, who was In the front
office, states that he heard no loud talk be-
tween the two men. The sergeant had not
been there over five minutes when tho re-
ports of five shots, fired In rapid succession,
rang through the station. He started for
the watehroona,- and WAS just In time TO
see Sergeant McAllister fall from the
table on to the floor.
The dead man was 4S years old and un-
married. He had been connected witt the
Manchester department for about four
years.
Stockwell is about 2S years old and Is
married, but has no children. Chief Haley
and Deputy Chief Cassidy were summoned
after the shooting The chief was very
much affected and broke down when
shown McAllister's body.

LONDON, May 22.-After hearing the re-

inquire into the claim made by the Earl OF
Selborne TO retain his scat In the house OF
commons, although he had succeeded 10
the peerago and the house of lords by the
death of his father, the house of commons
yesterday agreed 10 the ministerial motion
to issue "a new writ for an election in West
Edinburgh, the seat represented by Wis
count Wolmer, now Earl OF Selborne'
The committee simply reported that Wis
count Wolmer had succeeded 10 the earl
dom. The motion to issue new writ Tor
West Edinburgh was agreed upon.
The decision TO issue new writ for an
election in West Edinburgh apparently
settles the question as to whether peer
Of the realm can sit in the hsnse of com.
mons after succeeding 70 the house Oh
lords by deciding that he cannot do SO,
and il would seem that the decision also
settles in the negative the question raised
at the same time, namely, whether peer
of the realm can be elected to parliament
