Probably Six Months More.

San Francisco. June 3.-The attor-
neys for Theodore Durrant again ap-
peared before Judge Gilbert in the
United States circuit court today, and
applied for a writ of supersedeas for
the purpose of staying the execution of
the sentence. but this was denied by
the court. An application for leave TO
appeal from this decision TO the su-
preme court of the United States was
then made and granted Although it is
an open question whether. in view of
the denial of the writ of supersedeas.
this order of the court acts as a. stay
of proceedings, Attorney General Fitz
wired to Warden Hale to take no action
in the premises pending the appeal. As
the United States supreme court does
not meet again until October next, this
virtually means respite for six
months at least

Washington. June 3.-Today the ques-
ton of opening the Uncompahgre reserva-
ton was finally disposed of.
The house concurred in the amendment
adopted by the senate to throw open TO
settlement all lands on the reservation.
except the mineral lands which are to
remain in government ownership.
The vote on this amendment was almost
unanimous.
Mr.. King felt that it would be urwise
to further prolong the fight for the mir
eral lands. and accepted the result as the
only compromise. To The Herald sorre-
spondent Mr.. King said today:
Il regret that we were unable to Sc
cure the passage of law opening the
gilsonite lands Immediately but partial
victory has been won. When we consider
the powerful influences encountered, the
almost unanimous voice of the press
against the measure to open the reserva-
ton. the opposition of government Off
Gals. the efforts of the mighty leaders
in the house who were determined 10
fasten the Ubiquitous system of federal
royalties upon the people. and commit
with instructions the leasing of the lands
to eastern Office holders. l feel that we
have fairly succeeded. Notwithstanding
all these forces. fair fight in the house
would have brought, 1 believe, full sue
cess.
Senators Rawlins and Cannon have
been interchangeable and deserve all credit.
Under the amendment the reservation
will soon be opened, and the Indian title
extinguished except to allotted lands.
While the title to the Gilsonite lands re-
mains in the government I believe those
who have located or who may locate
after April 1895. will be protected in their
possession and occupancy. and ultimately
legislation will be enacted giving them
titles"

MONTANA REDS
ARE YET A SOURCE OF DANGER
AND ANNOYANCE.
Indians Supplied With Government
Arms and Ammunition-Settl
Building Stone Fort For Protec-
ton.

Denver. June "A special to the
News from Miles City. Mon. says:
Captain Reed. commanding the Fort
Custer soldiers at the reservation, has
sent a lengthy document for publica-
ton, telling the families to return; that
they are sure to protect both the In
dams and white people. This statement
is claimed by the whites to be absurd,
for it is a fact that 200 Indians are off
the reservation and not under submits
sion The settlers are mostly old-tim-
ers. buffalo hunters, and believe they
know more about Indians than Captain
Reed. From a reliable source it is
learned that the settlers on Otter creek,
east Of Tongue river, are gathering at
the Circle Bar ranch, and are building
q stone fort, in which to protect their
wives and children from the Indians.
Captain c. c. Holmes, a former marine
officer and man of reliable judgment.
is at their head. and they will soon be
in a condition to withstand an attack
by the Indians. 1t was learned today
that the three Indian runners sent over
TO the Sioux at Pine Ridge, asking help,
had returned, bringing the report that
the Sioux declined to come and aid the
Cheyennes. 1t it claimed that the In
dams are supplied with government
arms and ammunition. and that the
Indian agent and his Subordinates are
endeavoring to keep the sheriff and his
deputies from going upon the reServd-
ton, which is necessary in order to Sc
cure evidence to convict the murderers
when brought to trial. This is causing
a strong demand for the removal of In
dian Agent StOuch by the authorities at
Washington. The Indians implicated
in the murder of young Hoover are
Phillip Badger, now under arrest; Sam
Crow. Standing Elk and half brother
of Chief Red Bird. The latter three are
still at large, and unless ca light asleep
like Badger. will not be easily captured.
Standing Elk, like Badger, is gradu-
ate os Carlisle university.
The report that Sheriff Gibbs and
four of his deputies had been killed is
not true 4 settler brings in the in
formation that the Indians attacked a
small squad of white men on Otter
Creek Several shots were exchanged,
and as Indians were seen assisting
crippled comrade it is presumed that
one of the bullets from a white mans
rife had taken effect. Badger since
his arrest, has confessed to the in
terpreter at the reservation. AS he
with the three others were travelling
along the hills, they came uron young
Hoover and asked him for tobacco,
which he was about TO give them
when Badger fired and shot him in
the arm. This wound caused pain and
of course he cried for assistance,
which enraged the Indians. They
then ended his sufferings by two more
bullets in his body. This confession is
undoubtedly correct. as Hoover had
large wound in his arm and his tobacco
sack partly full was found by his side.
When asked why he committed the
crime. he said he did it just for fun.
The settlers will not return to their
homes unless some permanent protec-
ton is provided by the government.

Nav Not Take Place.

Sacramento. Cal, June 3.-Warden Aull
of FOLSOM prison telephoned this evening
that he had received a Geographic mes
sage from the attorney general advising
him not to proceed with the hanging of
Walter d. Worden tomorrow Worden had
been found guilty OF train wrecking. The
attorney general said that his writtel
opinion would reach Folsom tomorrow by
mail.
Acting upon this advice the execution
VII not take place as intended. Warden
Auil says he has notified Worden and
has had the gailOws taken down. The
law under which Worden is permitted
thus to extend his lease of life. The war
den says. was passed by congress during
the reconstruction days in order TO make
il possible in certain cases to reach the
federal supreme court over the heads of
the state courts in the south. If il were
a matter. he said. in which the issue did
not involve human life he would prob
ably test its legality. but in this case. as
state official. he will be governed by
the action of the attorney general As
the supreme court will not meet until
October. Wordcn will nave at least sew
erai months longer on earth.

Folsom, Cal. June 3.-For several
days past Walter D. Worden, the train
wrecker, has based great hopes in the
ability Of his attorney to keep the hang
mans moose from caressing his neck
But that hope is crushed now, and to-
day ha admitted that he knew he would
have to suffer. In fact, Worden today
indited letters TO those who are most
dear to him, in which he babe them fer
vent farewells. One letter was to his
mother who lives in New York state,
and who brought powerful influence to
bear 70 try and save her sons neck. The
condemned man wrote his mother that
he would die bravely and as a Chris
tian. Another letter was to his wife,
another to a little nephew, and still
another to his BROTHER, an American
missionary in Yokohama, Ja@an.
When Worden went into the prison it
was as a braggart; threatening oaths
fairly flowed from his lips. Today he
claims to be a Christian. A holy Bible
has been in his hands nearly all the
time for several weeks, and while he
was talking last night with a repre-
sentative of the Bee. Worden said that
from. the religious consolation imbibed
he had nc fears. He had been adj
vised that if he became a Christian it
would only be a short plunge through
the trap door of the gallows into the
new Jerusalem.
Warden Aull told him that the appli-
cation to the federal court fer a writ
of habeas corpus had been denied.

The doomed man, without displaying a
bit of fear or emotion.

spectators as possible
Wcrden was told that it had been
said that Mrs Durrant had expressed
a determine ton to witness her sons

such a spectacle should not be per-
mit.ed
Warden Aull has depended upon the
advice Of the attorney general. and has
gone right ahead with the preparations

promptly at 10 O'Clock tomorrow morn
