Judge Dundy Against Any Interference
with state Oncers.
OMAHA, Neb.. May 3l.-Judre Dundy
declared himself to a certain extent
yesterday on the Fender Indian
troubles when he dismissed Sheriff
John Mullin in the federal court. The
sheriff of Thurston county was recent
ly indicted by the grand jury for al
legged interference with Capt. Beck's
Indian police on the Winnie bago
reservation. He had come down
to surrender himself, and have
his trial at once. Judge Dundy
told him to go home and stay there
until he was sent for. The judge de-
clared that he did not intend to sane
ton interference of federal officers
with state authorities when the latter
were doing their duty in serving legal
papers. Mullin thanked the judge. and
left for home There was great reioic-
ing among the Tourney svmpathizers
within ear-shot of the federal building
when the official remarks became
known. This, it is believed, means
that Dundy will restrain federal troops
from interfering if the petition is
made

FOUND NONE ALIVE.
Ship Sent to Aid the COlima Can
Do Nothing.
Only Three Passengers Known
to be Saved.
VERY LITTLE HOPE.
Hardly Any Chance That Others
Will be Saved.

SAN FRANcIsco, May 31.-As further
particulars are being received concern
ing the Colima disaster, the outlook
for the passengers and crew not al
ready reported saved is very poor. The
Pacific Mail, shortly before o'clock
last night, received the following
from its agent at Manzanillo: GO
lima foundered. going down astern,
sinking entirely in ten minutes. No
strong wind, only heavy swell. The
same swell caught Mexican schoon-
ers Josefnna, AIbinna and American
schooner Hayes. Captains of these
schooners report swel1s only, entering
here for safety A later dispatch
reads: ''Colima sunk in $50 fathoms.
Steamer we sent last night found
nobody alive. Three cabin passengers
and two sailors got ashore at Coahua-
yana alive. Until now twenty-six per-
sons saved"
The Pacific Mail officials now admit
that there is hardly any chance of
other passengers being saved. The
fact that the steamer sank in ten min
utes would indicate that only few of
the people on board the steamship got
away. At 10 o'clock last night the
Pacific Mail Steamship Co. received
the following telegram from its
agent at Manzanillo: Having received
news that the people can be saved near
the mouth of river so miles south of
here. steamer has been sent with per-
sonnet OF this agency. Will write fur
ther particulars. The Colima cannot
be afoat again. She is total 1oss.''

Nearly all the states have made

The contest for the appointment has
been bitter one and Mrs. Stewart has
frequently resorted to tears of impa-
thence at the capers of the horrid men
who could not understand her claims
as quickly as she thought they should.
There is big fight on Mrs. Stewart in
the ranks of her own party. Timid
men swear by their boards that it
shocks their modesty to think of a
woman sheriff. Others are of the opin-
ion that it is carrying the new woman
joke triffe too far when she comes in
and picks up the fattest job in the
whole county.
The Missouri law in regard to women
holding Office is vague. If Mrs. Stew
art should be elected to fill out the un-
expired term the legality of her position
would come to an issue. Mrs. Stewart
is a woman of about 45, short and rather
heavy. She is good looking and intel
ligent. She has not been identified
with any of the women's rights move
ments. She is a ''womanly woman
