BARRETT scoTT's LYNcHeRs TRIAL
Nebraska vigilantes viii Probably Prove
Conclusive Alibis

Conclusive Alibis.
Butte, June 23.-Tomorrow the alleged
lynchers of Barrett Scott will be placed
on the stand to testify in their own be-
half. They are expected to assist in es-
toblishing an alibi by declaring that they
were hunting stock in the sand hills at
the time Of the lynching This can not be
successfully denied, since in the neighbor-
hood of the defendants homes there is
vast territory in which are stock ranges
and where white men are seldom seen.
There was quite a sensation in court yes
terday when Miss Addie Landsworth, the
pretty little sweetheart of Fred Harris
was on the stand testifying to save her
lover.
The witness Simonson, who wanted to
marry this girl and was Tilted by her.
had sworn to an alleged conversation be-
tween her and Harris on one occasion
when both Simonson and Harris called to
see her. 1t was the theory of the defense
that the remarks made by Harris at
that time, which was after the prelmin-
airy examination, were made in a Joke,
and the defense claimed that Simonson,
through jealousy Of Harris, had purposely
garbled his statement. The sensation was
increased by the knowledge that the wit
ness was the person that Warriege, a
court reporter living at Chadron, had
tried last winter while at South Omaha, to
persuade to swear to some fact damaging
to Harris. She said that Harris said jok-
ingly that the next time he went to hang
a man he would punch out his own eyes
before he went away. Simonson swore
that Harris had said he would punch out
SCOTS eyes.

CUBAN SUGAR PROSPECTS GLOOMY
Growers in n Helpless Condition. Money
Being Difficult TO Obtain.

Washington, June 2-Consul Baker,
at Sagula Grand, Cuba, under date of
June y, reports to the state department
upon the sugar crop. He says: THE SUI
gar crop of 1SSS-S9 having been marketed,
leaves no doubt of a material decrease
from the yields of the previous year. This,
together with the low prices by the plan
ters for the advance came too late to
benefit the producer, and leaves sugar
growers of Cuba in a most helpless condi-
ton. They now frankly admit that they
will not be able to secure loans to make
the cane crop which means that not eX-
ceeding one-half of the usual acreage Of
new cane has been planted and causes
neglect in the cleaning of the present
crop.'

Is NOT AN OFFENSIVE PARTISAN
A Statement From the Late Postmaster
at WaitShurg.-

Waitsburg, Wash, June A-To the Ed
itor: My attention was called to a state
ment in your Washington letter that he
postmaster at Waitsburg, Wash, was ere
moved for offensive partisanship." This
is not true; my worst enemy cannot ac-
cuse me of offensive partisanship. 1t
was because my appointment as presi-
Dental postmaster was terminated June
30, 1895, by reason of the Office being rel
egated to the fourth class.
While many of the acts of the present
administration merit the outspoken re-
Dukes of every true American, i know
that it is not becoming in an Office holder
to offend his friends of the opposite party.
Hoping you will make this correction in
the spirit of fairness to all, l am yours
truly, DUNCAN G. INGRAHAM.
Late Postmaster.

suit. The most notable of these was
the strike of bituminous coal miners. ac-
counting largely for greatly decreased
production and Increase in price for part
OF the year. The strike naturally in
creased the use of anthracite, which
partly made up for the decrease in the
demand for this substance, due to the
depression of manufactures The low
price of silver is responsible for the de-
creased production
The consumption of petroleum exceed
ed the production, greatly decreasing
stocks at wells and increasing prices.

595, 1S1. The total value of non-metallic
mineral prodscts was $305, 1856, 343; me-
tallic, S2lS, l6S,7SS, and unspecified min
eral products estimated at 81, 900, 000
The product of silver for the year
amounted to 49.501, 1s2 troy ounces, val
ued at $4,000 600; gold 1.19O,S16 troy

900. Iron ores included $685. $50 long tons
in production and $4,6S7, 1888 in value.

largest since 1873, increasing from 1,439.-
OS1 troy ounces for 1898, with a coinage
value of $35.950OOO. The silver produc-
ton declined over 10000, 900 ounces. The
petroleum export was the largest yet
recorded, over one hundred million gall
Ions more than in 1898. The total value

back strained every nerve. The whale
back company officials were greatly
disturbed over the disaster, but denied
