City Marshal c. S. Spearman OF Craw-
ford received word that Dan Lewis and
Dick Austin, two noted safe blowers and
postOffice robbers, who have been carrying
on their work all over Northwestern
Nebraska, had been located at a wood
camp twenty miles from that town. Ac-
%companied by two deputies the marshal
started for the camp and met the despera-
does coming to town. The marshal
stopped them and demanded that they
throw up their hands. Lewis drew a
pistol, but Marshal Spearman got in the
first shot, which struck Lewis in the cheek.
He returned the fire without effect and got
two more bullets pumped into him, one in
the arm and one in the shoulder. He then
made a break for the river but was over
hauled. Austin threw up his hands at the
first volley. Lewis says his mission at
Crawford was to kill Marshal Spearman,
who has been on his trail for weeks.

ROBERT Z. WEIGHTS FINE.
ITS Imposition a Travesty ON J Justice
Says fudge kirkpatrick.

TRENTON, March "a, 1ss7.-What seems
almost a travesty on justice was exposed
before Judge Kirkpatrick yesterday in
the United States District Court, and APP
plication made for the repayment of the
800 fine imposed not long since on Robert
X. Wright: The proceeding was in the
nature of an investigation on petition
for the remission of penalties. Il such
cases the court takes the testimony and
reports the finding to the Secretary Of
the Treasury, who disposes finally OF the
affair as he sees fit. The facts IN the
present case are, that Information for
penalties was filed by District Attorney
Beekman. the predecessor of J.. Kearny
Rice, against Mr.. Wright. as being an
unlicensed steamboat pilot. Mr.. Wright
has been a naval officer Ind was per-
fectly competent to pilot. He had been
through Annapolis, and was a shipmate
of Colonel Alexander {. Oliphant of this
city. The captain of one of his crafts
was intoxicated, and It seemed imperative
to get a number Of. persons across from
Atlantic City to Brigantine. SO Mr..
Wright plotted them over. For this he
was arrested and fined 800, as stated.

Cal, says:
A letter written by japanese official
in Japan to former japanese officer
living in this city conveys the informa-
ton that the japanese government will
forward to Honolulu in the latter part
OF July 1900 emigrants. Those indi-
viduals are now in the garrison at Nee
gaia, being soldiers in the japanese
service, and will 60 ON shore in Homo
lulu as simple citizens, but drilled and
ready for military duty at once. The
steamers which are to convey these men
have been chartered by the japanese
government, and carry in addition to
the 1000 passengers, arms, ammunition
and military stores of sufficient
quantity to make it interesting for any
party trying to prevent their landing.
In addition, three large men-of-war are
already prepared to leave Yokohama, to
arrive at Honolulu at about the same
time as the landing of the so-called emf
grants will take place.
