by denying all existing appeals ex-
cept that Of the Blythe company from
the decree of distribution, a matter
which has been practically settled al
ready. Today's decision of the su-
preme court dismissed the appeal of
Judge Coffey, and also his appeal from
the order denying the motion to dis
miss the entire proceedings on the
ground that the decree of distribution
had never been entered. Henry T.
Blythe was one of the so-called gypsy
of Kentucky Blythes.
The court also dismissed the appeal
OF Sarah Davis, one of the Savage
heirs, from the decree of distribution
IN deciding the Davis case the court
briefly reviewed all the proceedings of
the lower court since the death of
Thomas Blythe in April, 1883. The
court declared that two of the persons
who prosecuted claims on the original
trial were William Savage and his
brother David. They contested for the
claims of the group called the London
Savages,' and their sister, the appel
LIANT, Sarah Davis, although she knew
that the claim in which she was inter-
ested jointly with her brother was
thus htgated, and gave her testimony,
subsequently contended that the whole
claim should be reopened because there
mad been no legal services upon her of
a notice of the proceedings.
Inc court now refuses to open the
case Tor her on that account. Today's
decision practically settles the whole
case, confirming Florence Blythe
alnckley in the possession of her
talher property, valued at $4,000, 900.

AGENT BUBB.
General Allegations Of Incompe-
tency Made Against Him.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.-General
allegations Of incompetency against
CAPTAIN J. w. Bubb, the agent in
charge of the Colville Indian reserva-
ton in Washington state were filed at
the Indian bureau several months ago.
They were referred to Special Agent
John Lane, who is making his regular
inspeo lion of the reservations in that
locality. Agent Lane is now at the
agency and is making an investiga ton,
but has made no report to the bureau
and will not for some time. There
were no formal charges, but general
statements made by individuals whom
officers here say they believe to be per-
sona1iy interested in a change of Of
fee. During the allotment of lands
in severalty to the Kalispel Indians,
which lasted a year and which was
completed about Aug. 1, there was
some friction betw cen Special Allotting
Agent George H. Newman and Agent
Buhb Newman claimed that Bubb
interfered with his work, but the mat
ter was soon quieted.
Captain Bubb has a good record
end is one of the appointees under the
change of policy inaugurated by Sec
Rotary Smith in naming army officers
instead Of civilians as agents. Indian
officials believe that nC serious alIega-
tioa will be substantiated.

Set Free Only to Be at Once Re.

TORONTO. Ont. Nov. 3O.-The Sec
ond trial of the brothers Harry and
Dallas Hyams for the murder Of
young Wells. the beneficiaries of whose
life insurance policies aggregated 800
600 the Hyams ultimately became, end
ed today in a verdict of not guilty. The
crowds that thronged the court room
and corridors of the court house far
exceeded those of any previous day.
Men and women joStIed one another in
their efforts to get within the coveted
space and the utmost efforts of ~
force of constables present was nee6
to maintain order.
The judges charge was throughout
straight in favor of the prisoners. IN
no instance did he give prominence to
ly on the theory of accident, as adj
vanced by the defense. He told the
jury to give due weight to the fact that
the accidental death of Wells might
have suggested to Harry Hyams the
financial advantages to be gained by
marrying Martha Wells. and thus COM
ing in for the insurance on Wells life.
On the whole the judges charge was
that The crown had not advanced evil
dence sufficient to convict either OF
the prisoners. and in consequence their
verdict should be for acquittaI
After being out thirty-five minutes
the jury returned with a verdict of
mot guilty.
When Judge Ferguson told the pris-
oners they were free they started to
leave the court room, but at the door
were rearrested by Detective Cuddy on
the charge of conspiracy to defraud tAs
Insurance companies in the case Of
Martha Wells.
