The town was treated to small
circus Sunday morning. A horse
belonging TO G.. ], Bohnenkamp
was tied to the fence of the public
well and jerked the plank off that
he was hitched to and to which a
piece of tin was attached. The
horse started to run and soon, the
the plank caught on end and gave
him a terrible lick across the back.
He TORE down the street like cy-
clone and disappeared towards
Whites gin in CLOUD obdust, with
the plank streaming out behind
him like the tail of q comet.

LEWISTON, Idaho. Dec. 2s.-The
Lewiston-Mount Idaho stage was held
up at o'clock last night by two high
waymen one mile from Grangeville.
Two passengers were relieved of
about $50 and the robbers secured the
contents Of two mail sacks, but missed
the one containing the registered
money packages. After the robbery
the driver was instructed TO turn the
stage back toward Cottonwood, the
robbers following at a short distance.
When the robbers disappeared the
driver resumed the journey to Grange

At Grangeville there is great excite

been organized Last nights robbery

LARGE INCREASE m
GOVERNMENT RECEIPTS.
Additional ReYeHVes Derived Under the
Workings of the Dinsiey
Tariff Law.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 29.-The forth
coming monthly statement of the Gov
eminent receipts and expenditures will
show a material increase in the re-
ceipts for both custom and internal
revenue. To-day's increase from Gus
toms alone was ST35,567 the highest
figure reached since the new tariff law
went into effect. Several times during
the last few weeks the customs reve-
nues have exceeded $500, 600. and, &C.
cording TO the expectations Of the
treasury officials. these figures will be
fully maintained for an idefinite pc
Rod.
The increase from customs this
month win probably exceed that OF
November by 81 SOC. 600 or s.. 00O. 600
which leaves a surplus for the month.
Altogether the situation, so far as
revenues are concerned. is very graft
flying to the treasury officials. who
confidently predict that, with the ex-
ception or January, when heavy inter
est payments are due, there will be a
surplus for each remaining month Of
the present fiscal year.

The government will go into effect
on Saturday next and will be formed
OF five secretaries, with their chair
man (six all told). The list of Govern
ment secretaries is already forecast by
cable, with the exception that the De-
partment of Posts and Telegraphs will
be under Senior Laureano Rodriguez,
instead of Senior Fernandez de Castro.
The correspondent of the Madrid
Impartial, who has ridden over a
greater part of the island, writes to his
paper that he saw at San Jose Lajas,
this province, $500 reconcentrados
thrown into the streets or dying in
wretched huts, mere living skeletons.
He stated that 10000 have died within
a year. Most of the reconcentrados, he
said, did not care to work when they
left their homes. They carried with
them all their belongings and have
gradually sold these. Their physical
strength was wasted and they needed
helping hand to lift them even from
the gutter.

HAVANA, Dec. 29.-Many friends OF
Senior Canalejas and Mr.. Sylvester
Scovel, correspondent of the New York
World, went to the railroad station to-
day TO meet them and were disappoint-
ed at their non-arrival. They are con-
fidently expected tomorrow. News has
arrived here ahead of them this even
ing that Scovel is back from the field
after having presented President Nc
Kinleys letter to General Maxine
Gomez.
The rurnor that Scovel had been SEN
fenced to death appears TO have been
well founded. The insurgents sent word
to General Gomez's camp that two
Observation-Disclosures Madrigal and Mr..
Scovei-were on their way to headQuar-
tiers TO induce General Gomez to sur
render. General Gomez, enraged, di-
rected that both be eourt-martialed on
the spot, but on learning that they
were special ENJOYS from Secretary
Sherman, acting under orders of Presi-
dent Mckinley, he instructed that they
be released and agreed to meet them.
Senior Madrigal, United States Con-
sui at Sancti Spiritus. explained TO
General Gomez that President McKin-
ley, in accordance with a promise to
Spain to use his friendly influence with
the insurgents to bring the war TO an
end, had selected him (Senor MadrigaD
and 81r. Scovel to carry out the mis-
sion. He then presented Secretary
Sherman's letter TO General Gomez.
The latter had the letter translated for
him and gave orders that the commits
sioners should be treated with all con-
sideration. He fixed an appointment
for the following day, promising DUR
ing the interval, to confer with the CT
ban Government with reference to the
action to be taken.
The following morning Gomez as
sured Senior Madrigal and Mr.. Scovel
that he was much pleased with the in

Unable to Account for His
Whereabouts on the Night
Of the Tragedy.
CALM WHILE IN COURT.
Witnesses Swear That the Younu
Man Often Cursed the Two
Unfortunates.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LIBERTY. Mo-, Dec. 29.-The taking
Of testimony in the second trial OF VIII
liam Foley, charged with the murder
Of his mother and sister IN November,
1895, was actively begun here this
morning. The courtroom was crowded
with spectators, many women being
among them.
The morning was taken up with the
testimony of persons living in the
neighborhood Of the Foley farm, sew
eral OF whom heard the shots and the
screams OF the two women. It WIS
proved that the shooting occurred a
very few minutes after o'clock 1t
was shown that young Foley lefS the
house of Leonard Ligon at abous $50
O'Clock and that Foley had failed to
account for about fifty minutes time
intervening between that hour and his
appearance at the house Of Charles
Williams, another neighbor, to whom
Foley brought the news of the murder
of his mother and sister.
Charles Williams and his sister, Liz
Zie Williams, who returned with young
Foley to the Foley farm, testified as
TO his actions upon returning to the
house where his mother and sister lay
dead. Foley went to his room and sat
on the bed in fainting condition and
called upon them to come and fan
him. Later Foley showed them that
his own gun had been used and ex-
pressed the suspicion that an ex-con-
Wet named Hoover who had worked
for the Foleys, had committed the
crime.
Mrs. e. V. Adkins testified to having
previously heard Foley curse his sister
Three men who had been EMPLOYED nv
the FoleyS as farmers testified TO hav-
Ing often heard Foley quarrel with
his mother and curse her. Foley's
desire for a division of the estate had
been opposed by his mother and sister
Other witnesses testified as to the
condition of the premises after the
murder and the finding of the money
purses of Mrs. Foley and Fanny Foley
in pond near the house after the
murder. The purses had been kept by
the women in the bed in which they
were murdered. 1t was also shown
that a cocklebur found in the bed had
upon 1T horsehairs, which match the
name OF the horse ridden by Foley
from the house OF Leonard Lyon.
During the days proceedings Foley's
demeanor was calm. He showed no
signs OF agitation when the blood
stained night-ciothes of his mother
and sister were exhibited before the
jury, Mrs. James Morrow and Amelia
Foley. the prisoners sisters, sat beside
him throughout the day.
The prosecution will show that Emil
Hoover, the man whom Foley sought
TO implicate, was working for A J.
Bickel on a farm near Princeton, Mo-,
on the night Of the murder.

William Jones, who had INDUCED in
some criticisms at the expense of the
lynchers, received the following letter:
GARDNERvILLE. New. Dec. 15-BilI
Jones: To uphold the dignity OF a law
abiding community and protect law-abid-
ing citizens from the dangers OF lawless
and disreputable characters it has de-
volved upon US to rid this valley Of all
such characters. You are therefore
warned and notified hereby to leave this
valley and county, never to return again.
before the end of this week or you will
be treated in the same manner as Adam
Uber. This is your only warning and
Law PROMOTERS.
Jones got the letter last week, but
treated it with contempt. and no move
has been made to modest him. He
works for John McCue, who is one Of
the new Grand Jury. The old Grand
Jury in their report recommended
better security for the jail, and no at
tention was paid to their recommended
lions by the Sheriff. The feeling
against the Sheriff, Commissioners and
District Attorney is growing. and ii is
quite likely that their removal from
Office will be recommended by the
Grand Jury. The relatives of Uber
have been in correspondence with their
attorney in Carson. and are expected
to take a hand in the fight against
the suspected parties, who are now
thoroughly cowed and wondering what
will turn UP next.
