Judge Dundy Refuses to Advance the
FlOurnOy Lease Cases ON the Calendar.
Omaha, April GA special to the
Bee from Lincoln Nebraska says: 1t
is considered rather indefinite now
when the Flournoy land company's
and other injunction suits relating to
leasehold settlers on the Winnebago
agency will come up in the federal
court or whether they will be heard in
Lincoln or in Omaha. This afternoon
District Attorney Sawyer appeared
before Judges Dundy and Riner, sitting
together, and asked that they be taken
up and disposed Of He argued that
the situation on the reservation was
serious, and that in his opinion some
thing should be done at once in regard
to 1t. Judge Dundy said that the cases
were on the calendar and would not be
taken up until reached in the regular
order. When 1t was suggested that
they were now down below every other
case, Judge Dundy, with some warmth,
assured him that so far as he was con-
cerned personally, no one who had a
case in court, at this time, should be
Disseminated against on account of the
government, or threats Of Indian
trouble. When the cases were reached
II any one was there to represent the
two sides, they would be tried and not
before. II attorneys wished to go up
among the Indians instead of attending
to their cases they must take chances
on delay. The judge said he would take
up the call Of the calendar where Judge
Rlner left 1t, and so soon as the in
junction cases were reached they would
be tried. The matter was left with that
understanding. Attorneys represent
ing some 225 tenants on the land were
in court and were anxious for a hear

be tried for ten days. In the mean

from Madagascar say that the Hovas
have gathered large forces along the
main routes from Tamatave and Mo-
junga. Throughout the island post
with several hundred men stationed at
each have been established, A French
gunboat has assembled the river Betsi-

Mahabo. The enemy was driven out
with loss Of eight killed. Two cannon
were captured. The population OF the
village gathered around the tomb of
the chiefs In order to defend them, but
on finding the French respected the
graves. they yielded and asked pro-
lection.
An expedition was directed against
the Hovas who had another camp of
5000 men at MADAME, on the other side
of the river. General Metzinger, with
four companies Of infantry and artll-
lery, attacked Madame on April 3 and
routed the enemy killing 100 and
wOundlng many. The French loss was
three wounded.
The Soir states that ex-Amerlcan
Consul ]. l., Waller. who was brought
from Madagascar to Marsellles under
arrest, acted as the medium between
the Hovas and the English for the con-
veyance Of orders for munitions and
arms. When France declared war
against the Hovas Waller, according
to the Soir, acted as a spy at Mojunga,
and by means Of waving cOlored lam

movements of the French. This once

FOUND WHERE FRAKER SANK.
Mutllated Corpse In Barrel FIshed Out OF
the Missouri River,

Richmond, Mo-, April 23.-On a sand
bar in the Missouri river, near Camden
within 200 yards of where William F.
Fraker is supposed to have been drown
ed two years ago, William Ming and
John Bell found in a barrel the mutt
lated remains of a man. The head and
legs had been severed from the trunk
and one foot had been cut off. The
CHASTITY find was brought to the Ray
county shore and an inquest held on it
by Coroner Dove. There were no marks
or papers by which the body could be
identified and it was buried on the river
bank.
Some speculation as to whether the
body might not be that of the missing
doctor was INDUCED in, many theories
as to the preservation of the remains
during the two years which the doctor
has been missing were put forth. But
little stock is taken in the story, how
ever. 1t will be remembered that DR..
Fraker carried $4,000 life insurance in
different companies and this his rela-
tives had to bring suit to recover pay
ment of the policies, the insurance com
panies claiming that the doctor was not

AN ADvENrUREss MAKES CLAIMS.
she Produces Queerly Dated Documeat
Against the Fair Estate.


San Francisco, April pa few days
ago a mlddle-aged woman called on a
well-known local attorney and intro
duced herself as Helen McDermott.
According to her story Senator Fair was
the father Of a son born to her about
a year before the senator's death. She
says that shortly after the child was
born the late senator called on her
and in the presence Of her father and
some intimate friends had a statement
drawn up acknowledging the parent
age and a few weeks later a docu-
ment was signed by which she was to
be allowed 5000, 900 for the education and
maintenance of the child. She produc-
ed a document which resembled the
writing of Senator Fair to support her
argument. The attorney thought her
story somewhat fishy, but took the doc
ument as evidence. He called on the
Fair estate attorneys to let them know
that they might prepare for contest
from her.
Unfortunately Carroll Cook heard Of
the affair and recognized In the woman

who made serious charges against

but the attorneys appealed for her and
she went free.
She had been mixed up in several
schemes since her exposure. A queer
thing about the Fair document Is the
fact that It Is dated August 4, 1895
which would be eight months after
Fairs death. Although Fair only died
four months ago, none Of the attorneys
to whom she applied noticed the dis

Impressions Regarding Some OF the Peace
Terms Officially Corrected.

Yakahoma, April 23-It Is officially
denied that the Chinese customs, by
the terms Of the treaty of peace with
Japan, are placed under Japanese con-
troll. The stipulation says that on the
payment Of the first two installments
Of the indemnity to be paid by China,
Wei Hal Wei might evacuate provided
China pledges her customs revenue in
order to ensure the payment Of the
balance due. This. It is added, is OPP
tional and might never take effect.
At present there is no intention OF
touching the customs revenues Of China

MINUS THE TWO DOLLARS.
Prospect That the HOmeseekers' Excursions
VIII be Run at a One-Fare Rate.

Chicago, April 23.-Some of the Texas
roads which are not members of the
Western Lines Passenger association
have taken action which will tend to
demoralize the homeseekers' excursion
rates put on by the western lines. They
have knocked off the 50 which all
other lines have added to the excur-
sion rates, and made 1t one fare for the
round trip. The Atchison has declared
that to meet this competition II will
be necessary to make a one-fare rate
from all points on its lines In Illinois,
Iowa, Missouri and eastern Kansas, to
all points in Texas and Arkansas. The
other lines declare that Arkansas and
Texas are no more entitled to one
fare rate than Kansas, Nebraska, Col
orado and the Dakotas. There is now
every possibility that the general rate
for the excursions to be run April 80,
May 81 and June II, will be one fare for
the round trip.

SHE MIGHT HAVE KNOWN BETTER.
"LucIry" Baldwin Pleads HIa Own HWou
Known Character In Demurrer.

known CRarAc6er' IN JomuroPs
San Francisco, April BE. ]. Bald
win, better known as Lucky" Bald
win, the millionaire horse owner, min
ing man and land proprietor, has filed
| most remarkable demurrer to the
suit of Miss Lillian Ashley against him
for seduction. Baldwin has so many
times been the object of similar suits
that, as he says, he no longer worries
about a little thing like that. The
latest suit against him is that of Miss
Lillian Ashley. formerly Of Boston,
who alleges that while she was visit
Ing In Los Angeles the aged millionaire
won her affections and betrayed her.
Now she wants $4,000 compensation.
Some time ago Baldwin filed de-
murrer, alleging that 1t did not set
forth facts sufficient for action. This
demurrer was overruled and another
was filed in Judge Stacks court
In this second demurrer, Baldwin
pictures himself as a gay deceiver and
says that his reputation Is so well
known that no woman of experience
would trust him. The demurrer sets
forth that Miss Ashley Is a wise wo-
man. acquainted with men and the
ways of the world and should be able
to distinguish between sincerity and
decess. Mr.. Baldwin states that he
was married man and unable to keep
a promise of marriage. Consequently
she did not place any reliance in him,
though she declares she did. The de-
murrer says that knowing that Bald
win was married man, she ought to
have understood that his protestations
of love were insincere and that his ex-
pressed sentiments of affection were
but the means toward an end. Miss
Ashley knew the general character of
her betrayer and should not have per-
mitted herself to be led from the path
of virtue by such evidently insincere
protestations of love. The demurrer
alleges that no promise of money con-
slderation for anticipated betrayal can
be held to be good in law and that II
does not appear from the facts of the
complaint that any other promise had
been made. Accordingly he petitions
that the suit be dismissed.
