THE TRAGEDY At LATROBE
Walter Freeman Slain Because
He Won in a Wrestling
Match.
Stabbed Without Warning While
Pleasantly Conversing With
His Opponent.

PLACEHVILLE, CAL, April 15.-Later
information from Latrobe tends to prove
that the killing of Walter Freeman by
George Roberts yesterday was cold
blooded crime. 1t was developed at the
inquest that young Freeman was not
drunk. The young man belonged to good
family. The Coroners jury in its verdict
characterized the act of Roberts as scold
blooded murder" All the eye witnesses
declared that no provocation existed.
A short time before the affray the two
engaged in friendly wrestling match and
Roberts was thrown. Afterward Roberts.
with drawn pistol, entered the saloon of
James Harris, where Freeman was with
about ten others, and was promptly dis
armed. Later he was seen with Freeman
in an apparently pleasant conversation.
He smiled as he took large jackknife from
his pocket, opened it leisurely so as to
excite the suspicion of neither Freeman
nor his friends, and then instantly plunged
1t into the neck OF Freeman, seyering the
iuglar vein.

CLEVER COLUSA BANDIT,
Robs a Stage of It's Mail Pouch
Without Disturbing the
Driver.
The Theft Not Discovered Until the
Loot Is Found Two Months
Later

COLUSA, CAL, April 15.-James Cropp
and Thomas Anderson found mail pouch
filled with letters and papers that never
reached their destination. They were
opposite the Kilgore ranch, two miles
from Sycamore when Cropp noticed some
thing on top of one of the stringers under
bridge. He at first thought it was coat,
but upon examination it proved to be a
United States mail pouch, 1t had been
cut open, the contents rifed and then
replaced. An investigation resulting from
the md reveals the singular fact that the
stage robber who secured the mail was not
detected, nor did the driver or the post
office clerks discover their loss. The con-
c!uslon the authorities have reached is
that he placed an empty sack in the stage
q a1ter securing the filled pouch and left his
victims none the wiser.
Cropp brought his find to Colusa and
delivered it to Sheriff E. W. Jones, who
upon investigation found that it contained
the mail from Marysville to West Butte
and Kent. The letters were dated and
postmarked Marysville, February 6 and Z,
1896, which shows it must have been taken
over. two months ago. The Sheriff i'm
medlately teleDhoned to the Marysville
postmaster and also to the postmasters at
Kent and West Butte asking them if they
mad ever failed to receive mail pouch
Each said he had not; that his books
showed the mail had arrived on time
every day. Frank Myers, the stage-driver
was questioned and said that he handles
only three pouches between Marysville
and Colusa and had never missed Carrying
and delivering them on time.
One OF the recovered letters was from
Wilbur.

UPRISING or INDIANS.
Canadian Redskins Resent the Atten,yt
to Suppress POtlafches


to Suppress POtlatches.
VICTORIA, B. c., April 15-There are
indications of serious trouble with the
Indians of Northern British Columbia on
account of the steps taken by the Do
minion Government to suppress not
latches. On the upper Mas River a mus
tering of natives is reported to be taking
place.
Just as the steamer Danube, which ar
rived here to-day, was leaving the north
from 800 to 700 natives had gathered to
hold pow-wow to determine what action
should be taken toward resisting the en-
forcement of the law. ALI are determined
to maintain the old custom. Not only
does dissatisfaction exist, but it Is reported
that disorder prevails and the police
authorities are meeting with much trou-
BILE in keeping peace.
The report brought by the Danube says
that the officers OF law are watching the
Indians and imprisoning all who become
particularly offensive. So serious Is the
trouble regarded that bloodshed Is antict-
pated at almost any moment, for the in
dignation of the natives is common to
nearly all the tribes.

MOURNING At CARSON,
Thousands Follow the Body of
the Late Governor Jones
to the Grave.
Eulogies Pronounced Over His Bier
by the Pastors of Four
Churches.

CARSON, New, April 15.-The funeral
OF the late Governor John E. Jones took
place from the capitol building this after
noon. Thousands followed the body OF
the popular executive to the grave. Gov
ernor Jones was a Mason and also COM
mander-in- chief of the Nevada State
militia, and Masons and guards attended
in numbers. The funeral was conducted
under Masonic and military rites.
The ceremony was one of the most
peculiar ever witnessed in America, mas
much as it was also carried out by four
different religious denominations. The
late Governor expressed dying wish that
each Of the religious denominations OF this
city be allowed five minutes in which to
express its sorrow or pronounce eulogies.
The Masons arranged, as he had wished,
and the four pastors of this city delivered
short addresses over the body. Rev. Mr..
Nash spoke for the Presbyterians, Rev.
Mr.. Wilson for the Methodists, Rev. Mr.
Eddy for the Episcopalians and Rev.
Father Garland for the Catholic frater-
nifty.
Professor Stubs of the Nevada State
University also delivered an eloquent
eulogy, which brought tears to the eyes of
the hundreds of listeners. Mr.. Hanford
the late Governors private secretary, fol-
lowed the professor, speaking for the Ne
vada Press Association, and bade farewell
to the man he had served and loved. Dur
ing the exercises four choirs-one from
each of the religious bodies-rendered
music.
When these services were ended the
Masons took charge of the body and held
their solemn rites. AS the procession
started for the cemetery minute guns were
fired from Battery A. Four companies of
militia were in line, as were 200 cadets
from the State University. The procession
extended nearly from the town to the
cemetery, distance of two miles. Thou
sands of citizens went to the burying-
grounds and it was impossible for third
of them to get within hearing distance of
the grave. The services at the cemetery
were performed by the Masons, and as the
last word was spoken three salutes were
fired over the open grave by the State
militia.
Out of respect to the late Governor all
the schools throughout the State and the
business houses in most of the towns were
closed.
