WASHINGTON, June Elm the case OF

ness, Judge Bradley ordered the jury
to bring in a verdict Of acquittal this
morning, holding that the questions
asked the witness by the Senate COM
mittee were not pertinent. and, II SO,
were not within the jurisdiction Of the
committee.
The judge pointed out that Mr..
Searles had testified specifically that
no money had been contributed by the
Sugar trust to the national campaign
or for the purpose Of influencing leg
islation or the election Of United
States senator's. Certainly, the Judge
said, simple investigation as
to whether the Sugar trust
had contributed to q campaign
fund would be an unwarranted
search into the private affairs of the
company and plainly beyond the power
OF the Senate. The Senate committee
had reported that no testimony had
been produced to show that the Sugar
trust had made any contributions to
any national campaign fund for the
purpose Of affecting legislation. II
none had gone for the purpose

1t appeared from the report of the
committee that they were not in the
possession Of any facts upon which
they could base q most remote hope of
showing an ultimate connection be-
tween the Sugar trusts contributions
and the sugar schedule. Under these
circumstances 1t must be held that the
questions asked were not pertinent

ago negotiations were opened between

to-day that $4,000 had been asked for
the return Of the bonds and although
tho bank officials would like TO get
Them back he declared they would not
pay the amount asked. Continuing
Mr.. Bird said:
MANY OF the securities are worth
less to-day, l should say, since the
government came to Dur assistance
sone time ago by an act Of Congress
authorizing the secretary Of the treas
ury to reissue duplicates in place Of
The stolen United States bonds.
There was u number Of other bonds
issued bv cities and corporations, how.

The Cheyennes are we'll known for
their hatred Of the white man, their

ing from the settlers, killing of their
cattle, and have continued the cattle
killing ver since.
The present trouble at Lame Deer
agency Is but an acute phase Of the
armed neutrality in that section. Bad
blood exists oil the time between the
cowboys and Indians. When cowboys
get drunk they kill an Indian and the
red men reciprocate. Indians often
kill range cattle Tor the hides or for
food, and when they are discovered by
q lone herder they kill him to destroy
evidence against themselves. The re-
suit is that they distrust each other,
md bushwhacking is the rule.
Lame Deer agency, the Cheyennes'
headquarters, Is sixty miles from the
nearest railroad point. The trouble is
not of recent origin, but dates back
almost to the time the Cheyennes were
located in Montana.
