THE SOLDIERS HOME TROUBLE.
Board of Managers Mt Washington Discuss
the Situation at Leayenworth.

Washington. April 1S.-(Special) The
board of managers of soldiers homes dis
cussed for some time yesterday the sit
uation at the Leavenworth home. The
trouble there is the subject report made by
a special subcommittee of the board last
year. At the meeting some months ago
this report was considered and the board
appeared divided on the matter of ousting
the higher officials there and putting others
in their places. 1t was the opinion of half
of the board that the best way to stop the
trouble between the governor OF the home,
Colonel Smith, and the secretary and treas
urer Major Shockey would be to ask for
designations of both. But no action was
taken, and the mutual friends of Smith and
Shockley made an effort to bring about n
reconciliation, and It has been intimated to
the board by the friends of both that the
trouble would likely remain buried II moth
ing more was done.
1t seems that this representation was
made TO the members of the board at the
present meeting. and 1t was concluded to
take no further action on the special report
made. at this meeting. The report can be
called up at any time and acted upon
and it is likely that 1t will remain in this
attitude to remind those personally in
terested that 1t would be well to keep quiet
in the future.

AN OFFICER NABBED BY INDIANS
sheriff Mullins, of Fender. Ncb.. Captured
by Indian Police with Drawn
Rpyoycrs.

Omaha, Neb.. April 1S--A special to the
Bee from Pender, Neb., says: A new phase
of the trouble on the reservation developed
to-day when Sheriff Mullins was captured
by Indian police with drawn revolvers.
At present the place of his confinement
is secret. known to none of his friends.
The federal court ordered all evictions of
settlers on account of the difference be-
tween the Indian agent and the Flournoy

lice. however, have continued to eject set
tiers from the reservation. The sheriff
OF this county secured a posses Yesterday.

were ejecting settlers and arrest them.
alone and at noon news of his arrest was
received. Nothing has since been heard in
lieved, however he has been taken to pa
kota city for a preliminary hearing be-
fore United States Commissioner Spencer.
No effort Is being made to release hin,
from custody of Captain Beck until word
can be received from the attorney general
of the state but IN the event of the sheriff
being held by Beck he Will probably be
released tomorrow on writ of habeas
CORPUS. that being being, the first ir and only PRO
ing rumors regarding the manner in which
the sheriff was arrested this morning by
effect that they read a warrant to him
which had been issued several days ago
by United States Commissioner Spencer
lice have since been carrying around
awaiting n chance to catch him on the res
ervatlon. while another rumor says when
the sheriff arrived at ,Waterman's place,
the man whom the police We're trying 10
iispossess OF his land, and attempted TO
read the warrant for their arrest, three
or four of the Indians seized the sheriff
and handcuffcd him, while others stood
around with drawn revovers as a warn
ing for him not to resist the police This
story seems to be the most authentic, any
is generally accepted as reliable. While
good many were to-day inclined TO censure
the sheriff for attempting the arrest alone,
it Is now believed that he acted wisely,
for It is thought had a posse Of men went
there would probably have been several
lives lost and the sheriff thought. by going
alone the Indians would submit to arrest.
Their action this morning, however, con-

that Beck had instructed his police to re-

FUR OF THE WEASEL FAMILY.
Beautiful and Popular for Clothing PuH.
poses-AH Savage Animals.

From the Boston Traveller.
The fur of the weasel family is In great
demand by the dealers because of Its beau
ty and adaptabilty in many classes of
wearing apparel. What is known as ermine
Is produced by little animal called the
stoat in England. In winter he changes his
reddish brown skin to a white one. Savage
and bloodthirsty is this little creature.
preying upon everything that he can over
power. His chief food consists of part
ridges and rabbits, but many other small
animals are disposed of in the same way.
The pine marten. member of the weasel
tribe, has a brown skin and a yellow
throat. Stone martens have a blush brown
coat with white throat. They are larger
than the stoat and more destructive. The
otter Is king of the weasles. He can whip
anything OF his weight in the world. He is
hunted with hounds in England and can
give six or seven dogs all they can do to
kill him. Like the mink, he Is very fond Of
fish and water fowl.
All of the weasel family are very fierce
and strong for their size. The skunk, with
his black and white coat; the badger, with
his beautiful silver gray fur and black
dashes, and the sable are all of the same
species and valuable fur-bearing animals.
