A SLICK sWiNDLER.
By His Performances Two Deering Men
Are Sadder and Wiser.

At 1.30 this morning Deputy Hartnett
was doing some active work trying to
locate a well spoken young man who
Yesterday took into camp two citizens of
Deering. Ward verrill and W A. Ham
lin.
Mr.. Verrill met the well spoken young
man on Preble street and had some talk
with him. The young man had good
horse and buggy, robes, etc., in short, a
rather more than commonly good rig.
How will you swap was the question
he asked Mr.. Verill, and after some talk
Mr. Verrill offered him his team and
very nice watch in exchange tor his out
fit, and tho young man took him up
and made out bill of sale to which he
signed the name Of J. M. Cummings OF
| Norway.
A little later the young man met MI.
Hamlin and sold him the Verrill team,
receiving a gold watch worth about S4o
and So. SO in money Both Mr.. Verrlll
and Mr. Hamlin thought they had made
good trade.
81 didn't want to let my watch go,
said Mr.. Verrill," but it seemed to be too
good trade to let go by me. -
After Mr.. Hamlln drove home he met
Mr.. Verrill, and after comparing notes
they concluded that there was something
wrong and telephoned Mr.. ]. M. Cum
mings at Norway, who said that he let
a young man have the team the previous
day. Mr.. Cummings asked Mr.. Verrlll
to hold the team until he could send for
it. Mr.. Verrill and Mr.. Hamlin then went
to Marshal ST John, by whose advice they
drove to the city and had talk with
Deputy Hartnett, who is not without a
strong hope that the sharp will be arrest
ed in Boston this morning on the arrival
of the boat from Portland, but the depu-
ty is inclined to think that the watches
may not be found on his person, as it is
good deal more probable that he sue
ceeded in disposing of them here. The
Cummings team is worth about $125, and
Mr.. verrill is wondering how he came
to be taken in.

SUING FOR DAMAGES.
Hawaiian Exilcs Claim $4,000 Each
Against II Steamship Company.

Vancouver b. c., March 25.-Some days
ago a man named Houck, claiming to be a
lawyer from Honolulu, arrived here, and
proceeded TO interest himself in the cases
of the three deported exiles, Mueller. Gran
ston and tombstone. He interviewed nu-
merous local men, and learned as much as
possible regarding the statements by them.
Saturday night William A. Kinney, judge
advocate, who presided at the recent COURT
martial in Honolulu. arrived here. when
interviewed Kinney was very guarded In
his statements, but it was ascertalned that
ne had come here in connection with the
suit instituted by the exiles against the
Caradan-Australian Steamship Company,
the eXiles claiming $4,000 damages EACH
The Hawaiian government had to give the
steamship company a bond to. indemnify
them against any action that might be
brought. and the government has, accord
ingly, decided to fight the suit to the end.
Mr. Kinney engaged Mr.. +. p. Davis
queens counselor. of this city, one of the
ablest lawyers of the west, to fight the
case, and brought with him numerous doc
uments relative to the expelled men. The
Hawaiian government claims that in the
deportation they We're acting within inter-
national law, and that in any case the dam
ages claimed are absurd, as the men were
only making a bare living in Honolulu.
Both Messrs. Davis and Kinney refuse TO
state the line of defense, but limited that
some startling developments would be made
at the trial. Mr.. Kinney left again hurried
ly on Sunday, and it is understood that he
mas gone to San Francisco.

Kid, and George Sanders, the outlaws who
were killed this morning al ]. r.. Bragg's
store, arrived here today. William Bara-
bee. the deputy United States marshal who
brought the bodies in, told the following
story of the robbery and fight:
This morning, about 73O O'clock while
l was sitting on the porch at Bragg hav-
ing just had breakfast, three men came
riding up and hitched their horses in front
of Morris's store Crossing the street, they
made me hold up my hands and disarmed
me. l being an officer, they marched me
into Morris's store and told me as soon as
they had robbed the store they would kill
me. An Indian who was on the porch at
the time they held me up, stepped out of
the hotel and notified the Indian sheriff,
who got party of men and advanced to
the store into which 1 had been taken
As the sheriff and posse came up, the
robbers ran out and the fight commenced.
Williams and Sanders were killed. The
other robber, recognized as Sam Butler.
escaped, but was badly wounded On the
body of Williams was found a testament
and on a fly leaf was written the following:
ii is hell for man to live in the world
of hell and be killed and so to hell; but such
a fate will be for me.

WAS TO GET ONE-FOGRTH.
Mcdowell Admits Ii and Governor
Turney Demands His Resignation.

Nashville, Tenn, March 27-(Special.)-
The publication of the fact that the peni-
tertiary committee last night took testi-
mony that NJ. l.. Mcdowell, one of The PEN
itentiary commissioners, was to have shared
in the profits of the Franklin county syndi-
cate, in case their lands We're purchased
bv the state for penitentiary farm, caused
a sensation today. The profits would have
been $4,000 and Mr.. Mcdowell was to
have had one-fourth.
Commissioner Mcdowell was one of the
first TO hear of the publication. He stated
to Commissioner Morgan that the charge
was true, and as he did not want to be
stared at around the hotel today he was
going home.
When Governor Tmney read the charge
as published in the papers, he telephoned
Mcdowell to come to see him at once. but
Mcdowell took the 1880 o'clock train for
Winchester.
Learning of this Governor Turney at
once wired him that his resignation would
be accepted. Governor Turney stated to-
day that unless Mcdowell resigned at once,
he would remove him.
The only important witness before the
committee today was J. w Baker, who. it
is alleged, was the go-between employed by
John Houk and the successful bidders. but
nothing was gotten out of him, as he had
to look up some dates as TO his visits to
East Tennessee.

DEATH STEPS IN.
The SHELTON Boys Get a Continuance
Until Next August.

Chattanooga, Tenn, March 25.-(Special)
When the attorneys on either side OF the
famous ROss-Skelton murder case met az
ScottSboro, Ala. last week to arrange the
preliminaries for the trial of the three
brothers-James, Walter and Tot SHELTON
the defense brought up every argument
and reason of which it coulI conceive to
obtain continuance of the case. But
Judge BilLro minated that he would lis
ten to no plea for continuance and the
Skeletons had given up all hopes of postpon-
ing the trial when death stepped in with
the demise of their sister, Mrs. s. Y Kirby,
of Little Rock, and interposed a restraining
bond. Thus, when the case was called this
morning, a continuance was granted until
next August in the cause of humanity, as
the court put it. writing upon the docket:
Continued by reason of death in the fam
lily"
SO while the brothers lost sister. they
gained by her death at least six months
more OF freedom.
Mrs. Kirby it will be remembered, was
the woman who opened the fatal letter be-
tween Banker r. c. Ross and Annie Skel-
ton, now Mrs. John Freeman, of Hot
Springs.
Mrs. Kirby's body was inferred at Scots
boro today. John Shelton will be brought
back at once and when the final trial comes
up in August he and the three brothers
will hear their fate together.
