Rumored Abduction.

Ogden, May lo.-It is said that Mrs.
lane Owens, a woman who is laund-
ress, is mourning the taking away of
several of her children, which is said
to have occurred some days ago. 1t
seems that the woman was divorced
from her husband some five years ago,
he being now in Montana. The result
of the marriage was five children, the
Youngest being about seven years of
age and the oldest about Ia.
OFrom the story told by the woman it
appears that the man has made several
attempts to get the children, having
about year ago come to the house of
the woman and tried to make some ar
rangement for them to go with him.
This the woman refused to do and mat
tiers went on about as usual until week
or more ago, when gentleman, whose
name is not known, but who appeared
to be friend of the little family, came
and took the four oldest children out for
a drive. That is the last she has seen
of the children, and she says they were
put on the evening train and sent north,
she supposes to the father in Montana.
The woman is poor and unable to do
in the matter, as she makes
her living at washing. She feels the
loss of her children keenly, especially
as the youngest child taken, boy about
8 years, is not in good health

Inmates "a Free silver Majority in
the Convention OF Not Less Than
One Hundred Others AIIege That
IL VIII Reach 27B.

Chicago, May "a special to the
Post from Washington, says:
The president has been told thai not
only will the sound money element lose
its fight In Chicago, but that a trium.
plant and merciless free silver majority
will insist upon the adoption of resolu-
tions instructing denunciation of his
course on the money question.
Senator Harris estimates free silver
majority in the convention of not less
than 200.
Correspondent Mcbride, who has all
the sources of information that center
in John B. Mclean Of the Cincinnati
Enquirer, says the majority will be
nearer $50, and Congressman Bailey of
Texas, who is running for senator on a
free silver platform, will not be satisfied
with a silver majority under 275.
The ultra conservatives have raised
their minimum estimated majority from
IS to I25. The free silver sentiment
among the democrats has the same
ground swell roll to it that the McKin-
ley movement has among the repub-
licans.
The efforts of the administration from
now on will be to prevent the adoption
of condemnatory resolutions by the ma
tional convention. If that can be done
the friends of the president feel that
they will have cause for congratulation.

penth for witchcrart.

Seattle, Wash, May I8.-In Jail at
Juneau, awaiting trial on the charge of
murder, Is Chief Ye Teeleh, the Tyee
of the Hoonan Indians, small tribe of
some hundred members, occupying
Chickikof island, 100 miles southerly
from Juneau.
The ohense with which the old chief
is charged is the murder by torture of
his nephew, whom he accused of witch
craft. The chief had disease affecting
his right leg, which had gradually eaten
the greater part away. He dreamed
that his nephew had bewitched him, and
on the strength of this he proceeded to
innict punishment due the crime.
The victims knees were bent close
back and in this position he was bound
tightly to tree. An iron band a quar-
ter of an inch thick was then placed
around his face, sinking into the nose
and covering the eyes, and this was also
made fast TO the tree, so that he was
unable to move his head in any direc-
ton. He was left in this position to
starve TO death. He lived FIVE days. He
was about 20 years of age.

Oakland, Cal. May I9-Captain Rob
ert Men, well known engineer, who
was among the members of the reform
committee at johannesburg and accused
of treason, has written a letter to friends
In this city explaining the situation and
giving his views on the final outcome of
the trouble. He is an intimate friend
of John Hays Hammond and of Harry
Garthwaite of this city, who are in
South Africa.
The captain has no faith in Boer
juries, as is indicated by his letter.
Writing from johannesburg under date
of April II, Captain Men says:
"The general impression as to what
the outcome will be is that about half
the committee will be let off free. All
others, save Phillips, Rhodes, Farrar
and Hammond, will be fined lightly.
These four will have heavy fine and
be imprisoned, and after n month or two
of imprisonment they will be banished
from the country. A Judge from our
neighboring state, the Orange Free
State, was selected by the government to
preside at the trial. The jury will be
entirely burghers of the country (Boers)
and will probably be the most unintel-
ligent lot of men who ever formed
jury in civilized country. The out.
come Is awaited with acute interest here,
as all interest Is at standstill"

AMERICAN MURDERED.
He Met His Death at the Hands of
Foreigners

Newark, n. j., May 10. - Miles L.
Kinney of this city, connected with the
Honduras Trading company of New
York, has just reached home after a
trip to Honduras, and brings news of
the murder of an American named
Walton E. Stalee. Mr.. Kinney met
Stalee on board ship while bound
from New Orleans to Honduras. On
arriving at Puerto Cortes they landed
and travelled together about thirty miles
inland. Then Mr.. Kinney went for
ward to the interior while Stalee was to
go into the mountains. This was in
September last.
Two weeks ago Mr.. Kinney passed
through Puerto Cortez again on his way
nome and there met William Little, the
American consul, who informed him
that his companion on the inland trip
had been murdered. Stalee was found
dead not far from Puerto Cortez with a
bullet hole in his head. He Is supposed
TO have been robbed, as he is known to
have had $4,000, and this was not found
on him when the body was discovered.
otalee was brother of John Stalee of
New Brunswick. He had not been
mere since 1864. For number of years
ne was engaged in carrying the mail for
the government between two posts in
the west. He also served as a scout
under General Custer.
