iDAH0,S LEGISLATIVE SCANDAL.
Witness Beard Jushfss Regarding the
Buying of Votes for Senator
Elect HenfeId

BOISE, IDAHO, Feb. 28.-The committee.
appointed by the Legislature to 1nvesti-
gate thecharges Of bribery against Senator
Hetfeld, sits behind closed doors and
although it has examined a number of
witnesses, it is difficult to ascertain what
has been discovered. w. J. Beard was
regarded as the most important witness,
and he testified that he overheard con-
versation to the eff .ct that Representative
Perkins had $4,000 to buy votes for
Heitfeld, and he afterward heard that
Perkins had paid Representative JONES
$3.50 and that Representative Fuller had
also paid JONES money for his vote. The
witness said he taxed JONES with having
received the money and JONES at first
such was the case. That was long before
JONES made the affidavit declaring that
he had been paid money for his vote.
1t was elected that Heitfeld knew of the
charges before he left for Washington
and that Governor Steunenberg had
shown him JONES' affidavit. Representa-
tive Fuller, who accompanied Heitfeld to
Washington as private secretary, has been
?elegraphed to by his friends here to come
back and face the charges.
The defense is proceeding on the theory
that JONES was bribed to make the atfi-
davit. and evidence is being collected TO
present to the committee, tending to show
that JONES approached different mem bers
of the Legislature, saying there was mone7
in it for them ii they would make affidavit
that they were bribed to vote for Heltfeld.

catastrophe occurred here to-day. where by
three boys-Ernest Barnard, aged Is; Cecil

16-Iost their lives.
In spirit of boyish bravado the youth 8
determined to 60 out in small boat
and meet the steamer Chilkat coming over
the bar: The tide was much stronger
than the boys supposed and they were
carried rapidly out and into the breakers,
wh"re their boat was upset and the three
were drowned.
''The boat was inside the bar, and lear
the shore, and the boys were clinging to it
and screaming at the top of their voices
for help" said Captain Dunham OF the
steamer. 81 whistled the signal of dis
tress to draw the attention of some one on

GLOBE-TROTTER At SALINAS.
Austrian Pedestrian Who Intends TO Visit
All the Countries of the
Earth

SALINAS CAL, Feb. 2S.-A bona fide
object of considerable curiosity and inter-
est to those who frequent the Bardin
House, where he is staying. William
John Thaler is not a globe e-trotter in the
customary meaning of the phrase-that
is, one who circles the sphere by the
utilization of steam or by riding or driv-
ing the various animals of burden ill the
countries he visits. He is walking over
the world. His itinerary is rather unique,
for he intends circling each of the grand
divisions of land upon the globe. and will
take ship only in going from one contl-
nent to another.
ThaIer is native of Trieste, Austria,
and appears 10 be about 40 years of age.
He is over feet TALL and his athletic
build bespeaks the thorough pedestrian.
he is by profession an electrician, but
once, while working upon line In Mon
treal, Canada, he fell from a scaffolding
and sustained severe injuries, fracturing
his skull and losing the sight of one eye.
This necesstated his abandoning his elec-
trlcal career. and he conceived the idea OF
walking around the world in his own pc
cullar way.

Alarm at Utah's Capital Over the
Phenomenon Appearing in the
Inlaad Sya

SALT LAKE, UTAH, Feb. 28.-The
rather frequent shocks OF earthquake
which this section OF the country has ex-
perienceo within the past few months
have come to a head in the form of a
volcano, which has burst forth from the
Great Salt Lake a short distance south OF
Promontory station ON the Central Pacific
Railway.
The volcano is right in the lake, about
mile and quarter from shore. and parties
residing in the neighborhood say that the
cloud of smoke rushes up into the air so
high that it can be seen at great distance
and the water in the vicinity boils and
surges into a sea of foam.
The volcano is situated in the big arm
of the lake on the west side of the long
range OF mountains visible from Brig ham
City.
The volcano has been in action for sew
eraI days.
1t began with small cloud and slight
disturbance OF the water and has increased
in proportion until now it is a most for
midable-looking phenomenon and has had
the effect OF creating fear and consterna-
ton among the country people in that
vicinity. It is not visib BILE in this city, but
its presence is looked upon with some
uneasineSs.

DESERTED FROM VANCOUVER.
Soldiers at the Barracks BeHsvs That
Murderer Butler Once Lived
Amo7o Them.

VANCOUVER, WASH, Feb. 2S.-The
many stories concerning the identity and
record of Frank Butler, alias Ashe, alias
Newman, the alleged Australian MUIR
derer, have been read with particular in
terest by few citizens of this place who
were here during the eighties, when the
Vancouver barracks. 1t is believed by
them, from the descriptions given of But
Ter, that lie spent a few months during
1888 at Vancouver barracks as mem ber
OF the Twenty-first Infantry band under
the name of James Hart and then deserted.
Michael Boyhan OF this place is Of the
belief that Butler and Hart are the same
person. He says that, as nearly as he can
recolIect, Hart came and enlisted as cor
net player in the band in September, 1888.
Particular attention was attracted to him
for the reason that, within few weeks
after his enlistment, rumor became cur
rent in the barracks and Hart's favorite
hannts in the town that Hart was de-
serter from another regiment under diff
ferent name, and there WAS considera BILE
talk of having him arrested as such. A
little later it was noticed that Hart ap-
peared to become uneasy and TO be suspi-
cious OF every one about him, and it came
to be the general belief that the rumors
had reached his ears.
Under these circumstances Hart's sud-
den disappearance on the evening OF the
second payday after his enlistment created
no surprise among those who knew him,
and only confirmed them in their belief
in the desertion story.
According to Boyhan's story, Hart
spent year or so in and. bout Sprague,
Wash, after his ldesertion from the Twen-
ty-irst.1nfantry. There he was employed
as musician in private theater.: Hart
was in this city few hours one day in
the latter part OF 1894 or early in 1895, and
inquired for Boyha but did not see him.
After that he was lost trace of here. He
is supposed to have been on his way to
San Francisco at thattime. .Boyhan says
that the descriptions given of Butler tally
perfectly with Hart as he remem bers him.
