Milton of Kansas William Kinlea, an
Englishman, and Elias Beda and Theo-
dore Maza, both Cubans. Captain Ruiz
acted as president Of the court, which
consisted of nine other military and ma
val officers. All the accused pleaded not
guilty.
Several witnesses admitted that when
the men were captured they were not
armed and offered no resistance. De-
spite this fact, however, the prosecutor,
Lieutenant Saurez, asked the court-mar-
tial to convict the prisoners of f1libuster-
ing and to impose the death sentence
upon all of them.
Counsel for the defense made a long
review of the evidence and demanded
the acquittal of MaZa. He argued elo-
quently against the Others being SEN
fenced to death and declared that the
evidence showed that mercy should be
extended them.

RUN OVER BY A TRAIN.
Frank Jones, Miner, Falls Asleep on the
Railroad Track, With the Usual Result.

Frank Jones, white MINER was found
dead at an early hour yesterday morning
by Louisville and Nashville southbound
freight crew near Ishkooda.
The operator at Oxmoor was notified,
and then Coroner Jones in turn was also
notified. He went down, and the body
was brought into this city.
1t was supposed at first that there was
some foul play.
Jones was a miner who lived at 1sh-
kooda, and worked some distance from
there. He was on his way home, and all
the signs showed that being little too
full of whisky, he laid down too near the
track and falling asleep, was hit by a
passing train A bottle of whisky and
$3.50 were found on his person.
He leaves wife and two children. The
coroner's jury returned the following YER

from the effects of lick stricken him

AN OLD SUIT DECIDED.

Jadge Glenn Gives an Opinion In the
Keator Lumber Company Litigation.
In the circuit court this afternoon
Judge Glenn filed an opinion in the
case of the Rock Island National
bank and others VS.. j. S. keator
Lumber company and others. This
was a suit brought by the bank to
foreclose mortgage made April 6.
1892, on the keator Lumber COM
pany in Moline for an indebtedness
of S25, 900 in favor of the bank and 9TH
er creditors of the company. Messrs.
Thompson and Root, of Wisconsin.
claimed prior lien upon the property
by virtue of judgment secured in
the United States circuit court at
Chicago, in March. 1888, which case
was taken by the Keator Lumber
company to the supreme court and
tAe judgment there was affirmed
April 4, 1892. The mortgages, on
the other hand. contended that
Thompson and Root had lost their
lien by reason of failure to issue
their execution within the time pre-
scribed by law.
Early in the spring the court filed
an opinion holding that Thompson
and Root had lost their right to a
lien in advance of the bank
and other mortgages because they
had failed to comply with the re-
quirements of the law pending the
appeal to the United States supreme
court. An application was made by
counsel for them for rehearing
which was allowed and additional
evidence was introduced.
In the opinion filed today Judge
eileen holds that Thompson and
Roots judgment is first lien on the
keator Lumber company's property.
James O'Neil, of Peck, Miller &
Starr, of Chicago, and Jackson 4
Hurst appeared for Thompson and
Root, and Sweeney & Walker and w.
K. Moore appeared for the bank and

Boys Make a Find Under a
Building.
POLICE WORK ON THE MYSTERY

But Discover that the Wooden Recepta-

mains of Chicken-A Hoax Successfully
Ferpstratsd.
In this mornings Union was the
following startling item: 1T was
reported on Thursday evening that
some boys playing in the vicinity of
Twelfth street and Sixth avenue had
discovered a small wooden box con-
tanning the remains of an infant.
They left the box where they found
it and the authorities will investi-
gate the case today"
And at sunrise today Chief Etzel
began his investigation. But it came
to a somewhat sudden aud unex-
pected ending. When the two ex-
cited Juveniles rushed into police
headquarters last evening and made
known their sensational discovery
there was the usual stir among the
brass buttoned gentlemen which in
formation of such a nature would be
liable to occasion. Four of the de-
partment attaches were told of the
matter, but no instructions for an
investigation were given out. At
least no policeman could be found in
the vicinity of Roche's hall, under
which the mysterious box was To-
Gated. after the report went out. OF
course, it is a walk Of several blocks
from police headquarters to Twelfth
street and as it is not a much prac-
ticed idea for the night department
to bother itself about matters OF
duty. the case was passed over and
left for the day men to solve. So
the story as told by the excited boys
was swallowed both by the po-
lice and Union, and further inquiry
on the part of either was deemed
unnecessary until today.
Dutiful police department.! But
the idea Of letting matter of such
moment go without investigating Sc
long only serves as further illus
tration of the incompetency of Rock
Islands police department. Had the
facts been as reported and the per-
pctrators OF the supposed crime
heard of the discovery, the police
gave them plenty OF time to get the
box out Of the way. And the morn.
ing paper also accepted the story.
| Confession OF the Boys.
Bright and early this morning q
pair of little fellows appeared 1T po-
lice headquarters and said they had
something to explain. They are the
sons of down town families. The
boys said that they had put the bones
in the box and then told some OF
their little friends about it for the
purpose of creating a little excite.
ment. But their parents told them
that they had better square them.
selves with the police or they would
probably be trouble. Chief Etzel
went to the scene of the find. The
box was removed from the building
and opened. The contents were .
soup bone and the skull of chicken.
And the sensation fell Hat.

HOLDEN'S RASH BREAK
PopuIist Congressional Candidate Makes
Dire Threats.


Dire Threats.
A Galesburg dispatch to the Chi
cago Record says:
Nv. G. Holden, populist candidate
for congress in this district, is angry
over the efforts of the democrats to
prevent his Endorsement for congress
by The convention. He openly de-
clares that unless W. X. Moore, the
democratic candidate for congress is
withdrawn, Altgcld will be defeated.
MIR. Holden says that the fight
against him will hurt the democratic
stale ticket, rs the pspulists and re-
publican free silver men are under
no obligation to indorse the demo-
cratic state ticket"
Mr.. Holden is evidently great
man in his own conceit. He does
not seem satisfied that his party re-
ceived half the share OF the awards
of the democratic convention in the
adoption OF the populist candidate
for member of the state board of
equalization. Prior to the holding
OF the congressional convention Mr..
Holden sought the Endorsement of
the delegates, but failed in his de-
signs. Evidently his bulldozing
tactics were no more acceptable to
those whom he interviewed then
than they will be to the people of the
great state of Illinois. The work of
the Galva convention is not likely to
be undone at Mr.. Holden's behest
nor will Gov. Altgeld be defeated.
