San Francisco, Dec. 1S.-William A
Durrant, the father of the condemned
murderer of Blanche Lamont, called
at the district attorneys Office today
and asked to see Mr.. Barnes. That
gentleman was not in, however, but
his chief assistant, Mr.. Walter Blair

The real motive for Durrant's re-
quest was the topic of discussion in
the district attorneys Office for an
hour afterward. The consensus of
opinion appeared to be that Durrant
was actuated by one of two motives:
One, to trust to luck in the Blanche
Lamont case, and remove from sight
some dangerous exhibits in case the
Minnie Williams case should go to
trial. the other, to act on the dime

Dorr, of West Virginia, offered an anti
Mormon petition this afternoon. 1t
came from the extreme backwoods of
his state and reeked with bigotry. 1t
had some 200 signatures. The petition
proceeds as follows:
Whereas, The pOlygamous wing of
the Mormon church have been for sew
eral years past sending their emissa-
ries into this state, seducing into their
communion many families not intelli-
gent enough to withstand their WileS;
and
Whereas, The special victims of
their seductions are usually families
consisting mainly, if not entirely, Of
girls, which is prima facie evidence of
their nefarious intention if they can
ever secure political power in the west
ern states; and,
Whereas, The existence of such an
institution, protected by a state cOnsti-
tuition would be a standing menace to
the integrity of the Union, as was the
slave power of a former generation
The petition closes with an appeal
to congress to submit to the several
states a constitutional amendment, de-
claring the practice Of pOlygamy a fell
ony, punishable by the laws of the
United States.

Uncompahgres, held a council today
with the head men of the tribe All

ject of the commission, and gave his
word to the red men that they would
be treated fairly by the men appointed
by the great father to fix the price for
their lands.
The commissioners, Messrs. Burge,
McNally and Hoyt, then spoke in turn
and told the Indians that they were
sent to see that justice was done to
both the Indians and the government;
that they would receive full value for
their lands, and that they would like
the matter settled as quickly as pos
sible
Big Tom, wanrodes, Duncan and

questions to ask the commissioners
and would consult with their head

The commissioners told them they
were ready to answer all questions,
and agreed on a suggestion by one of
the chiefs that the Uncompahgre chiefs
would be present at the next council.
Everything was harmonious, not a
single dissenting voice being raised to
the proposition to sell the land to the
government.
