Deputy Marshal Put an End to the Career
Of Two Bad Men.
PURSUING THE REST OF THE GANG
None of the Omcers Were Hurt in the En-
counter-Several Parties View the Re
mains and Identify the Dead
Outlaws.

GUTHRIE, Okl., May AT spengle's un-
dertaking house in this city lie the bodies of
the two most notorious desperadoes of the
Dalton-Doolin gang The dead men stretched
out on boards are George Newcomb, alias
Bitter Creek, alias Slaughter Kid, and Char
ley Pierce, alias Dynamite Dick. The ad-
vent of the officers with the remains of the
outlaws was a complete surprise TO the com
munity, as no one had been apprised of the
fact that the bandits were being pursued,
much less that there had been fight, and
that two of them had been killed. They were
brought in just as when killed in full clothes,
with their boots and spurs on and armed to
the teeth. Besides rifles each had revolver
apiece and belts Of cartridges for both instru-
ments of death. As their clothing was cut
off their bodies it was seen that Dynamite
Dick had at least thirty bucSshot in him,
while two rife balls let the life out of Bitter
Creek Dynamite Dick was shot all over.
but mostly in the right shoulder and SIDE al
though he had fully six shot in his stomach
and as many in one foot. One of his eyes
were open, as though he had been in the act
Of taking a sight along rife. One bullet
struck Bitter Creek in the forehead and tore
out his brains at the back of his head and
the other hit his hand as he was pulling the
trigger.
Marshal Nix does not want to say much
about the killing, as the marshals who did
the work are still after other men. The out
laws we're killed at the southeast corner of
Pawnee county at the house of the Dunn
brothers, near ingalls,, the old rendezvous Of
the outlaws, by Deputy Marshal Sam Schaffer
at the head of six other marshals. The ban
dts went to Dunn's house about s o'clock
last evening. 1t being moonlight, they were
easily seen, and Dynamite Dick was killed
outright. being filled full of buckshot.
Bitter Creek made a fight and two rifle
balls felled him off his horse before he could
pull the trigger of his gun The two men
killed are a part of the gang that held up
the Rock Island train at Dover some time
ago. They have been chased ever since.
Charles Pierce, alias Dynamite Dick, is a
half brother to Tulsa Jack, who was killed
in the Cheyenne country by Deputy Marshal
Banks.
The express companies have big reward
offered for these outlaws.
The bodies were embalmed and the express
detectives have been wired for. Deputy
Banks saw the bodies and recognized them.
Oscar Halzel recognized Bitter Creek. The
outlaw used to herd cattle for him. o. f.
Hicks, a cowboy, looked at him and said
that he punched cattle with him several years
ago. The horses of the outlaws were killed
and their saddles and all weapons were
| brought to the city. None of the marshals
were hurt.

ONO MINERS IN sECREr SESSION.
Troublous Times Expected In the Hoe king
XnlIeX nnd Other tIhio Reginns.

COLUMBUS, o., May 1.-The miners
committee has informed the operators that
a joint session of operators and miners can
not be held until tomorrow. The miners
then went into secret session. They began
work early. They are very reticent. They
are divided In opinion upon the question of
asking the operators to retain 10 cents to
go toward the support of certain Pittsburg
miners, who are striking for terms which
would give employment in Ohio, Indiana
and Illinois, but, as heretofore stated, and
as repeated again today by the operators
chief spokesman, such detention and use of
money would practically amount to ille-
gal conspiracy and cannot be accepted.
The situation therefore, is that unless the
miners in the secret session who oppose
this effort at alleged conspiracy can pre-
vail upon its friends to accede, times ahead.
according to the operators, and especially
prospect of absolute cessation Of mining.

ty-four clubs, with 72S members, and about

called the meeting to order. Mrs Elizabeth
Mayo opened the meeting with prayer; Mrs.
Florence Reasmer then welcomed the visitors,
and Mrs. Lora h. Priddy of Wichita responded
on behalf Of the federation. She said in part:
I'm these days the home woman must keep
in touch with more than the daily grind Of
domestic toll to be the best honeke eeper. She
must keep in touch with the women of her
own and other nations, who had independence
of judgment enough to keep their bearing
amid the pulling and hauling Of so many con-
fllcting fads and issues"
The reports of the different officers Of the
federation were read next and showed the
organization was growing in numbers rap
idly, was out of debt and had $40 in the
treasury.
At the afternoon session some 500 repre-
sentative women of Kansas and Missouri

DURRANT BOUND OYER FOR TRIAL
At the Conclusion or the Williams Case the
lamont Hearing Was Commenced.

At the Conclusion or the Williams Case the
Lamont Hearing Was Commenced.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 2.-Theodore Dur
rant will be placed on trial for the murder
of Minnie Williams. He was held to the
superior court and bail refused. Police
Judge Conlan, the committing magistrate,
in rendering his decision, briefly reviewed
the case, and the evidence adduced against
Durrant. In conclusion, the judge said;
1.-THE people, l consider, have surely wound
the chain of circumstances In this case
around Durrant, and to cap the climax the
property of the dead girl was found in his
possession. Ihe chain is complete, and in
my opinion nothing is wanting"
Subsequently Durrant's preliminary ex-
animation for the murder of Blanche Lamont
was taken up. The evidence so far given
is a precise repetition Of that at the in
quest, and related to Durrant's accompany
ing the girl from school on the day she
was murdered, and to his social intimacy
with her Blanche's aunt, Mrs. Noble, was
asked by the defense to identify the dead
girls handwriting. She was cross-exam-
ined for an hour on this point. The only
writing which has concerned the case
hitherto was that on the paper enclosing
Blanche's rings, and bearing the names
of George r. King and Prof. Schernstein.
The defense apparently wish to show that
Blanche herself wrote those names. to es-
tablish their new theory that Blanche had
not been killed, and that the body in the
church was that of some one else.

UNCLE SAM DID NOT INTERFERE.
United States Failed to Offer to Arbitrate
Nicaraguan Troubles.

LONDON May 2.-The parliamentary Sec
retary of the Foreign office, Sir Edward Grey,
replying to Mr.. William Pollard Byles mem
Der for the Shpley division of Yorkshire in
the House Of Commons today, said that the
proposal of Nicaragua to refer all disputes
between that country and Great Britain to a
commission of arbitration was received April
IL, but, he added, when the papers are sub
mitted TO Parliament it will be seen that
1t was not a case for arbitration. Mr.. Byles
also asked whether the United States had
rendered her good offices or suggested terms
for an amicable settlement with Nicaragua.
To this question Sis Edward Grey answered
that no such proposal had been received from
the United States government. He hoped,
however, that a settlement would soon be
arranged.
The dispute between Great Britain and
Nicaragua the Associated press learns, will
be settled within few days. The United
States ambassador, Mr.. Bayard, and the
Salvadorean minister who is representing
Nicaragua had long conference today with
the earl of Kimberley, secretary for foreign
affairs.

RUSSIA Is NOT PUSHING JAPAN
Powers Content to Give Her n Reasonable
Time to Answer.

LONDON, May "A dispatch to the Times
from Odessa says 1t Is semi-oficially an
nouncel that Russia has made every prepara-
tion and is quite ready TO begin hostilities if
Japan refuses to modify the terms Of her
treaty Of peace with China
A Berlin dispatch TO the Times says that
negotiations are actively proceeding for an
amIcable settlement Of the trouble between
Russia, Germany and France on the one
hand and Japan on the other, In consequence
OF these negotiations Japan has not made a
formal reply to the protest Of the powers.
A st. Petersburg dispatch to the same
paper says there is reason to believe that an
early answer of Japan to the joint protest was
not expected. Russia is inclined to give
Japan plenty of time in which to reply with
out the latter stultdying herself in the eyes
OF the Japanese people by anything like a
too hasty compliance. The Russian envoy at
Toxic has lately pressed for a reply to the
protest and has been told that It will be given
in a few days on the return Of Count Ito,
president of the japanese council of ministers.
In diplomatic circles there is great confidence
that pacific solution Of the matter will be
reached.
The Times Paris correspondent says that
the papers Of that city ere trying desperately
hard to complicate the attitude of the powers
in regard TO the Ch nese Japanese treaty Of
peace The correspondent adds: From an
runots of an ultmatum, collective no e., etc,
are not founded on fact Russia. in fact, is
not so determined as is generally supposed
to push matters to the practical issue of open
hostllites. The military resources of Siberia
are not such as to justify such an enterprise.
Germany, while apparently ilTnTy deter
mined to afford moral support by diplomatic
pressure has given no grounds for supposing
that she will actively intervene.
France, while faithfully keeping Russia
company. has certainly not entered upon any
agreement by which she will embark on an
adventurous complication. Finally 1t is not
true that Great Britain Is melting Japan to
resist. Indeed, It is quite the contrary. Great
Britain urges Japan to meet the suscepti-
bilities of Europe with all the concessions
compatible with japanese dignity and inter
ests. This advice was not given in vain 1t
is expected that Japan will give the European
powers mark of Difference and will renounce
an indefinite occupation of the Lao Tung
peninsula, consenting that all other occupa-
tions cease with the fulfllment of the other
clauses of the treaty. | do not believe that
Europe will demand more than this and |
do not believe that Japan will refuse to go
as near as this. This arrangement may be
taken probable and IT will shortly come
about"
In leader the Times says: "The diplo-
matte game between Japan and the powers
appears to be proceeding in strict accord with
the regular rules Everywhere the confidence
, prevails that a pacific solution will be OBJ
taned of the row."

peals have been made recently to General
Manager Frey of the Santa Fe for rein
statement of the American Railway union
men who struck last year, but he refuses
to recede from his original determination
to take no such men back into the service
of the company. These men, he says, had
permanent work, and could have retained
formed their duties and obeyed the rules
and regulations, but they saw fit to connect
themselves with an irresponsible organiza-
ton rather than to remain loyal to the
company which gave them steady employ
meut and furnished them with means Of
support. In conclusion, he says: Surely

warning was given to all employees before

Allowed to occupy Corinto.
SAN DIEGO, May 2.-Senator S. M. Gull
lom of Illinois arrived by private car from
Los Angeles last night accompanied by Mrs
Cullom and friends. In an interview on the
forcible occupation of Corinto by British
forces, Senator Cullom said:
IF plain and emphatic protest had been
made by the United States. England would
not have occupied Corinto. Now that she is
there, l believe in using force, if necessary,
to get her out. There are two things which
the people of the United States have set
Their hearts on-the enforcement of the Mon
roe doctrine and the building of the Nicara-
qua canal. The administration that gets
in the way of the people in these matters
will be put out of the way. There are some
things that We will not stand, long-suffering
as we are. l do not apprehend that England
will go TO such steps as is prophesled, yet we
do not know what her insolent and dicta-
torlal policy may lead her to attempt. One
thing is certain, that she must get away
from Nicaragua or there will be war be-
tween the United States and England"

pealing to the miners here 10 join the West
Virginia strikers, but both of the compan-
les located here are running today, though
with a lighter force.
Good order prevails. The Southwest Vr-
gnia Improvement company, the largest op-
orators in the field. are maintaining a po-
sition of neutrality and working according
to the demands for coal. They claim that
no cause for a strike among their men
exists, and they will operate as long as
the men will work. A great pressure is
being used to bring these miners into the
strike, and their failure to join is the chief
source of conversation in the coal fields.
The impression prevails that the miners
here will finally join or there will be trouble.
The N. & w. Railway company its moving
its empties from the region OF the strike
