Conviction,


Conviction.
New York, June 29.-The jury In the
conspiracy case of the American Tobacco
Company, which has been on trial before
Judge Fitzgerald, in the court of general
sessions, failed to agree. Although no
verdict for the prosecution was rendered,
a disagreement is nevertheless regarded
by District Attorney Olcott as a victory
for the people. The Jury was out fifteen
hours. When they came in and informed
the court that they were unable to agree.
it was decided that It would be useless
to lock them up again, and they were dis
charged. 1t was learned that eighteen
ballots had been taken during the last
twelve hours. and the vote stood 10 for
conviction and for acqulttal. The jurors
who held out fer acquttal were Hobart
c. Fash and Foster Miliken. During the
morning Juror Binsze became i'll and
was permitted to consult a physician.
the doctor declared that the juror was
in danger of an apopletic stroke and ad-
vised him TO get out of the court house
as soon as possible. The juror, however,
was determined to fight for a conviction,
and would not hurry matters
District Attorney Olcott said that if II
were not for the fact that all bail cases
had been gone over until the fall, he
would have moved for a retrlal on Mon
day next
when a jury stands 10 for conviction
and for acquittal the people are entitled
to a decision on the law while the mat
ter is still fresh in their minds"

BANNooKs CAUSE a SCARE.
Three Hundred Leave the Rcscrva-
ton and Troops Called For.


Washington, June 29.-Three hundred
Bannock Indians have broken away from
the Fort Hail reservation in Idaho and
their actions have alarmed the settlers
In the adjacent territory The news OF
the outbreak of the Indians from the res
ervation came to-day in dispatches from
the governor of Idaho. He telegraphed Sec
retary Bliss late last night and to-day wir-
ed urgent measures TO Senator Heitfeld
Senators Heltfeld and Shoup Immediately
went to the interior department, where
they called attention 20 the situation and
the dispatches were also forwarded to the
Secretary of War Secretary Of War Bliss
carried the kilograms to the cabinet meet
ing, where they were discussed. A formal
communication was made to the Secretary
OF War, asking that orders be issued for
whatever military assistance may be nee
essary to aid the agent, Lieut.. +. T. Irwin
In preserving order and protecting the
lives and property OF the settlers, and to
return the Indians TO their reservauon n
they are absent therefrom as reported
The agent was notified to make a further
immediate report.
The request of the Idaho people for
troops to protect them against the Ban
nocks did not reach the war department
until rather late In the afternoon. secre-
tary Alger held a consultation with act
ing Adit Gen. Beck and some of the
other officers. who are experienced in
Just such Indian troubles as this and the
conclusion reached was that the depart
ment should take steps TO learn for itself
the exact situation IN the Fort Han coun-
try, Accordingly a telegram was sent to
Brig. Gen. Coppinger at Omaha, Neb., the
headquarters of the department of the
Platte, IN which the reservation is includ-
ed, instructng him to send one or more
officers to the scene of the trouble TO as
certain and report upon the state of af-
fairs there. The department officials have
no doubt that the difficulty will be easily
overcome, believing as they do that the
Indians are not out for any hostile pur-
pose, but principally to gather some of the
roots that arrive about this time, and
of which they are fond.
These Indians are the ones who figured
In the Jackson Hole affair some time ago
and had several skirmishes with settlers.
A commission Is now negotiating with
them, as well as with some other tribes,
for cession of part of their reserva-
ton TO the United States. The commits
sion has worked for many months. but
the Indians generally have been found
not to favor the schemes and the COM
missions work Is of a sort in which pro-
gress has not been successful.
The Bannock reservation Is located down
In the southeast corner of Idaho. near
the Wyoming and Utah boundary lines.
