STOLEN LOGS SOLD.
United States Marshal Shelby Returns
From FOrsythe, Where He
Went to Receive Bids.
United States Marshal Shelby yester

United States Marshal Shelby yesterday
returned from Forsythe, Taney county,
where he went last week to dispose OF the
large number of cedar logs recovered by
the government from thieves who had cut
them on government land. The logs We're
once before advertised and sold, but Judge
Philips did not think they brought enough
money, so he declined to approve the sale
The successful bidders this time were b. A.
Stevens, of Kansas City, who bought 1,529
logs; H. II. Luckett & Co., of Jacksonport
Ark, who bought l65 logs and b; +. West
moreland, of Pro Tenn, Mo-, who bought IA
logs. These sales have yet to be approved
by Judge Philips, who will pass upon them
at the next term of court in Springfield.
Marshal Shelby says that, though he eX-
perienced very rough weather on MS mis-
sion, the people of Taney treated him roy
ally and afforded him all the assistance
possible. He believes that the officers have
succeeded in locating the Bievens brothers,
who stole the logs, in Arkansas, ana that
they will soon be apprehended
Two of the bidders at the former sale OF
the logs had hard luck. After their bids
had been accepted they were given permls-
sion by Marshal Shelby to move the RATS
to another point on the river. guaranteeing
TO produce them all right If the sale should
not be approved. While the logs were in
their possession a freshet swept them away
and they had to pay for them, although the
sale was not approved.
The sale of the logs was managed by
Charles A. NJ. SchlierholZ, special agent
of the interior department, who was sent
f1om St Louis for the purpose.

Mr.. Elkins brought out what he regarded
as an Inconsistency that the mechanical

are likely to prevail over brute strength and
fury. The Turks are beginning to realize
this, and are sending young men to Paris
and Berlin to learn, like EdRem Pasha, the
art of war as practiced by the giaours of
the West. On their return home some of
these men have done credit to their Prus-
sian and French schooling. The accounts
of the recent Turkish victories and the oc-
cupation of LarisSa show that the Turks
are admirably disciplined. 1t would be a
somewhat difficult thing to keep a Greek
ARMY from lOoting a Turkish town if the
fortunes of war CHANGED to run the other
way.
The Turks soldiers too, might we'll be

They never know when or how much they
will be paid on account. The only comfort
they have is in an order issued some years
ago, and still in force, it is said, to the
effect that arrearages due soldiers at the
time of their discharge, for which there is
no money in the treasury, shall instead be
paid in scrip, which may be applied to the

SHUT OUT OF ILLINOIS
DECISION AGAINST THE AMERICAN
TOBACCO COMPANY.
Judge Declares 1t to BE an
Illegal Corporation and PrOhib-
it's 1t from Doing Business.

CHICAGO, May 15.-Judge Gibbons rem
dered a decision to-day declaring the
American Tobacco Company an illegal cor
p~oTation and prohibiting its agents from
carrying on it's business within the con-
fines of this State. The decision sustains
the information filed last December by At
toney General Moloney asking that the
American Tobacco Company be enjoined
from selling paper cigarettes in the prem
Use that it is an illegal trust, monopoly
and conspiracy in the business in question.
The plea Of the attorney general alleged
that the American Tobacco Company man
ufactures and sells 50 per cent. of all the
paper cigarettes manufactured in the
United States, and is a combination in re-
straint of trade. The company filed a gen.
eral demurrer, the main contention being
that the State of Illinois is poWerlesS TO
restrain a foreign corporation from ship
State to another or from distributing or
selling such article in the State to which
the snipment is made. This proposition
Judge Gibbons discussed at great length.
The court said that admitting that the
facts alleged as to the business Of the COM
pany and the manner in which 1t is car
ried on to be true the question is whether
it falls under the ban of outlaWry pro-
nounced against trusts by the federal and
state statutes. The court said that a close
investigation of the decisions OF the United
States Supreme Court leads to the conclu-
sion that the power of self-preservation is
inherent in statehood. This gives the State
the power to pass and enforce any law
which is necessary and Indispensable to
the preservation and conservation of pub
lie health.
Defendant filed demurrers, general and
special, but each was oVerruled in the eX-
haustive opinion handed down to-day. Rep
resentatives of the American Tobacco Com
pany who were in court announced that a
notice of appeal to the Illinois Supreme
Court would be given. The announcement
of the decision did not reach the street
until after closing hours on the Stock EX-
change

HE KILLED TEN WHITES
AND WAS THEN SLAIN BY MEMBERS
OF HIS OWN TRIBE.
AhvOte, the MurderOus Piute Indian,
Hunted Down in Arizona
and Shot to Death.

KINGMAN, Ariz., May 15.-Ahvote, the
Piute Indian, who has in the last three days
murdered no less than ten white men, is
dead. He met his fate at the hands of
members of his own tribe, who were COM
PEELED by the miners in Eldorado canyon to
trail the murderer to death, the penalty for
their failure to do SO being fixed at the an
Inhalation of every Piute the miners could
reach. Eight years ago a brother of
Ahvote, who a few days ago murdered
many white men near Eldorado canyon,
killed a mail rider. The whites demanded
that the murderer be killed and Ahvote
was ordered by the tribe to kill him
and bring back convincing proof that
he had executed the order. He brought in
one toe and part of an ear, but the whites
said he must bring better proof. Two days
afterward he brought the head of his
brother. Since that time Ahvote has been
morose and sullen and lived apart from the
tribe. Three days ago he took a rifle and
killed Lars Franzen and Ben Jones, team
sters; Christian Nelson and Charles Mon
Afghan, miners; Judge j. M. Morton, assayer
and mill man, known all over the coast;
John Powers and W.. Connolly, well-to-do
miners, and three other men, names un-
known. The killings were all cold blooded.
Miners congregated in Eldorado canyon and
told the Piutes that if they did not
bring in or kill Ahvote they would
kill every Piute they could reach.
Six Piutes Immediately took the trail and
followed it to the places where his victims
were killed. From side to side of the Col
orado river went Ahvote on his pilgrimage
of murder. The indians followed him down
the river, found where he had made his
last landing and trailed him ten miles up
the canyon into the mountains, where they
over the range. An Indian went to the
river and signaled to John Appel, who was
going down the stream with a boat with
the body of Monaghan, to come ashore. He
tiled up his boat and went with the In
dian and viewed the body of Ahvote.
The board of supervisors Of Mojave
county, Arizona Territory, offered a reward
of $3.50 for Ahvote and Mouse, who muir
dered Davis and Stern last February. over
one hundred white men and Indians joined
in the chase of the murderer.
Telephone advices from White Hills, fifty
Indians came into town this evening and
made threats that if the whites molested
them they would do some killing. The
deputy sheriff attempted to disarm them
but got only one gun. Three Indians were
placed under arrest and the others fled
from town. 1t is feared that they will kill
and a posse may go after them in the morn
ing.
