Massfng in Large Numbers to Resist
the British Advance.
Simla, Oct 27.-It is estimated that
the tribesmen have massed 10000 men
at Sempagha Pass, where they are
busy making rifle pits in the Sangars
and Strengthening their defenses. 1t
is generally believed however, that 1t
will be possible to turn the position by
either flank, and, though hard fighting
is possibly in store, 1t is hoped that the
pass will be carried without great eff
fort.
Meanwhile 1t is bad news that the
tribesmen have begun to operate on the
British lines of communication. The
fear is that, finding this the most sue
cessful means of delaying the British
advance, they will detach still larger
bodies to attack the British conveys
and cut up the escorts.
Last evening the tribesmen harassed
the British camp near Khangabur by a
constant well directed fire for several
hours. Nearly 30 non-c commissioned
officers and men were slightly wounded.

said a man who gave the name OF
George Scholder, of Otter Creek. Ia. in
Senator William T.. Mason's law office.
Scholder said that q few years ago he
was the owner Of q large tract of land
In eastern Kansas. He was swindled
out of 1t through litigation. and now he
wants the president to assist him In re-
gaining the property. He said he has
come to Chicago In the hope of secur-
ing the sympathy Of some prominent
attorney, but had been unsuccessful,
and was almost discouraged. He had
called on Senator Mason In order to
persuade the latter to assist him In
securing what he wanted from the
president. The senator Is not In the
city. Another appointment was made
with the man, on the suspicion that he
was a crank, and detectives were sent
for, but Scholder did not show up
again. Those who saw him say he did
not have the appearance of crank.
He had been In Chicago three weeks,
penniless and on the verge of starva-
tion. Scholder said he had daughter

subsequently His Sentence Was Com.
muted to Life Imprisonment on the
Confession OF Another Prisoner-The
Judge Believed Him Innocent.
Pittsburg, Oct. 27.-Silas 8. Gray. who
has served over IA years of q life sen-
tence In the penitentiary for the sup
posed murder of Mrs. Mary McCready
at Salisbury, Westmoreland county,
was yesterday released from prison on
pardon issued by the governor, be-
cause 1t had ben proven that another
committed the deed. The ex-prisoner
left for his home in Indiana county last
night.
Grays case was remarkable one.
Mary McCready disappeared from her
home Feb. 20, 1877. Fourteen months
afterward some boys found skull on
the banks Of stream. 1t was taken
TO the nearest country store and was
the curiosity Of the neighborhood for
weeks. Finally 1t was decided that the
skull was that of Mary McCready, and
after an inquest Silas Gray was held
for the murder. The body was never
found. Gray was convicted and sem
fenced to be hanged.
His Communication came about in q
most singular manner. George H. Well

Welshons located Hiram Bowermas-

the truth of what he had written. Gov
ernor Pattison on the strength Of the
document, commuted the sentence to

master were chums in prison and Pet

tation ran SO close a race with the
death warrant that Gray was taken to
the penitenttary ON the very day that
had been set for his execution.
The release of Gray was witnessed
by large crowd of officials and Curl
GUS visitors, all anxious to bid the long
imprisoned man goodby. Among the
visitors in the lobby at the time was
Mrs. Cynthia Hunter, wife of the late
ex-Judge James A. Hunter Of Green's
burg, who sentenced Gray to penal
servitude. Mrs. Hunter was almost |
overcome with Joy. She said 1t was one
of the happiest moments of her life.
She had always believed in the inno-
