POCATELLO, Idaho, Sept. 14.-In-
formation received here today states
that the captain of the Indian police
returned from Jackson's Hole yesterday
morning and reported to Indian Agent
Teter, at Ross Fork, that from forty
to fifty Bannock Indians, together with
their families. who were hunting in the
Hole, had refused to return to the
reservation.
They stated that the white settlers
had given them permission to hunt in
Jackson's Hole, in violation of the law
passed this spring prohibiting Indians
to hunt in that vicinity. The informant
states that the white settlers were de-
irving a comfortable revenue from
hides purchased from the Indians, and
offered him an inducement TO influence
other Indians from the reservation to
participate in the hunt.
The captain of Indian police was or
dered to return to the Hole and bring
back the truants, but laid down his
arms and refused to- so.
Another detachment Of the Indian po-
lice force was detailed and started this
morning with instructions TO return the
Bannocks TO the reservation.

" HIGGINS, COURT.
Hector Haight Gets Four Years-J.

j. Booth Goes Up for Fifteen.
Especial to The Hera1d)
ST. GEORGE, Utah, Sept 1.-THE
announcement that the sentence of
Hector Haight and ]. J. Booth would
take place at o'clock today filed Judge
Higgins court to the jam with spec
tators.
Haight was the first one called up,
when Judge Knox, on behalf of the
prisoner, made an eloquent appeal to
the court for mercy. He was sentenced
to four years in the Henitentiary. 1t
will be remembered from what has
heretofore appeared in The Herald, that
Haight was convicted of burglary with
intent to commit rape upon Mrs. Jane
C. Stapley of ToQuerville His Attorney
made a motion for new trial, which
was overruled and an appeal will per-
haps be taken to the supreme court
James J. Booth was next called up
for sentence for the rape of Eleanor
Bigler. When asked by the court if he
had anything TO say why the Judgment
Of the court should not be pronounced
upon him, Booth said that he had been
advised by his counsel not to take the
stand in his own behalf; he would like
to make a statement at this time and
proceeded to relate the circumstances
of the case in detail, his relation of
the affair was much the same as that
of prosecutrix, with the exception that
he did not drug the girl, but in friend
ly way gave her drink of wine and
closed by saying dramatically that as
God was his judge he was not guilty,
and pointing to his wife and mother
sitting within the bar, he said: and
il behalf of himself, his aged parents,
his helpless. children and grief-stricken
wife he asked for the mercy of the
court
The court briefly reviewed the case
and deplored the fact that in such cases
the punishment should have to be Wis
TIED upon innocent parties. He spoke
very feelingly for the poor wife and
mother who, during all this time were
weeping bitterly and when the court
pronounced the sentence of fourteen
years they uttered cries of anguish.
On the charge of adultery, to which
Booth pleaded guilty, he was sentenced
to one year, making a total of fifteen
years Imprisonment.
In the case of George W. Ashby VS..
George A. Atlkin ct al, the case was
submitted to the jury this evening and

Court adjourned for the term and

TURNPIKE TROUBLES.
Springfield, KY. Is in a Very Sad
Plight.


Plight.
SPRINGFIELD, KY, September IA
Every night this city is patrolled by
special officers under command of the
city marshal. People in the country
not in sypathy with the mob dare not
come to town lest they be suspected of
giving information, and incur personal
vengeance Of the mob, which is in the
majority Not a soul enters or leaves
Springfield without giving a good ac
count of himself. County officials are
afraid to raise a hand except to pro-
tect the town. They are not accused
of cowar dice, but fear the consequences
OF an attempt to restore order with the
meagre support at their command, and
the almost moral certainty of failure.
County Judge Thompson has written
for publication an appeal to all good
citizens to aid him in uphoiding law
and order. The general feeling is in
favor of letting matters take their
course for the present, and not to in
fame the excited mobs of the country.
The people Of this Washington
county voted last fall TO make -he
turnpike free throughout the county.
AS the pixies are owned by companies,
it is necessary for another vote of
the people TO assess taxes to purchase
the pixies. This vote has not yet been
taken, and the authorities cannot le-
gally stop the toll-gathering. This the
people of the county do not under
stand, and, being out of patience at the
delay. they have risen in rebellion and
torn down about all the toll gates in
the county. This rioting business has
been going on for two weeks. AS the
county authorities, whom the mob
blames, live here this town has been
threatened with destruction.

AMERICAN MONEY.
1t Is Refused by some of the Banks
in British Columbia

SEATTLE, Wash, September IA
Residents of this state returning from
British Columbia report that provincial
banks, notably at Victoria, Van Cou-
yer and New Westminster, refuse to
take United States silver or paper cur
rency at any discount. With d liberal
deduction, however gold is received
and Canadian currency given in ex-
change. Heretofore a 10 per cent dis
count has been maintained on United
States money in British Columbia,
while similar rates, save upon Cana
dian paper currency, which is discount
ed at only 2 per cent in Seattle, pre-
vailed on this side.
