HANG LAST OF STATES WITNESSES
Lynching Removes Evidence Against
Two Suspected Murderers.

Two Suspected Murderers.
BISMARCK, N. D.. Nov 15.-An interest
ing legal question is presented by yester-
days lynching of three of the Spicer mur-
derers. Two of the men, Holy Track and
ireland, were the states witnesses. and
without their testimony the state has no
case against the two surviving suspects,
Black Hawk and Defender There is, there
fore, now no possibility OF conyicting them
before any tribunal. for the reason that the
states witnesses, self-confessed accomplices
of the murderers, are dead. At the coming
raigned for trial, they must be dismissed.
The feeling against Black Hawk has been
intensified by the report that Coudot con-
fessed before his hanging that Black Hawk
and Defender were concerned in the crime.
1t has been the opinion of a large number
of people in EmmOns county that Black
Hawk was the instigator Of the crime. II
he is discharged it is predicted that unless
he has an escort out of the county he will
share the fate of his comrades in crime
Defender the other survivor, has consump-
tion, and II is predicted cannot live over
year
1t is claimed the majority of the lynchers
were from Wlnona, where the crime was
committed, but nothing certain is known
The authorities at Fort Yates ard the In
dian authorities at Standing Rock were not
aware Of the lynching until last night. Two
Of the men lynched were wards of the gov
ernment, and the lynching may bring about
some action by the government to discover
by whom they were lynched.

REINDEER FOR THE wHALERs.
Herd IL to he Driven Overland to
Alrskn.

Alrskn.
WASHINGTON. Nov. l5.-Secretary Gage
has requested the secretary OF the interior
to instruct the Alaskan officials to gather
about 500 head OF reindeer from the govern
ment herd for the use Of the expedition for
the relief Of the icebound whalers in the
Arctic. 1t is expected that the Bear which
is now at Seattle, will be ready to sail in
about ten days and within twenty days there
after 1t is expected that 1t will have reached
some point cn Norton's sound, where large
party will be engaged for the trip overland
TO Point Barrow.
The herd OF reindeer, which will be killed
for food II needed, will be driven overland,
and it is the confident expectation OF Captain
Shoemaker. chief Of the revenue cutter serv-
ice, and Captain Harper, who is in command
OF the Bering sea patrol fleet, that the herd
will reach Point Barrow and the Imprisoned
whalers before the middle of February. The
river valley through which the herd will be
driven Is said to abound with moss upon
which the herd will feed. and both agree that
the scheme for the relief of the whaers is
perfectly feasible and will be attended with
little danger. Captain Tuttle. who will COM
mand the Bear, is regarded as one of the
service, and no apprehension is felt regard
ing the outcome OF the enterprise.
The eight vessels now icebound have a
combined complement of 265 men, The Orcd
has forty-fve, the Belvidere, forty
FIVE; the Freeman, forty; the Fear
less thirty-fve; the JEANNE, twenty
five; the Rosario. twenty-five; the Wanderer.
twenty, and the Newport, thirty. The
JEANNE and the Rosario went up this
spring. the Newport in 1898, the Wanderer
and the Fearless in 1894, and the Freeman in
1895. All expected to return this winter.
The orca, the Freeman and the Belvidere
are fast about half mile northeast of Point
Barrow and the remainder are about 200
miles east of Point Barrow at the mouth Of
Mckenzie river and about 400 miles off the
Arctic circle.
1t is believed that the relief expedition
will reach the icebouud feet in ample time
to prevent suffering from want of food.

Fifty Brought Into This Country
Under Contract.

Under CONTRACT
WASHINGTON, Nov. t5.-Commissioner
General Powderly of the Immigration bureau
today received a telegram from Special In
spector Baldwin at Memphis, Tenn, stating
that he had arrested tYeuty-eight alfeE
stave cutters Illegally brought into this coun-
try under contract and would go to Mis-
sssippl tonight to arrest the remaining
twenty-five.
II is stated at the Immigration bureau that
fifty Austrian immigrants arrived in Bal
timore on the North German Lloyd steam
ship Roland September last and were
taken TO Mississippi to work in the stave
camps. When the party arrived in Bal
tmore it was suspected of being under cen
tract but the evidence submitted was
deemed insufficient to warrant detention.
Subsequently, however, Commissioner Gen
eral Powderly sent special agents into the
testimony to justify the arrest Of the stave
cutters and a warrant for the whole party
wds signed by Secretary Gage and placed
in the hands OF Inspector Baldwin and three
others last Friday.
AS soon as all are secured they will be
deported at the expense of the steamship
company bringing them over.
TO to this time the evidence against the
contracting firm which brought the Austrians
into this country is not deemed sufficient tl
justify criminal proceedings. but the officials
are said to be still at work on this feature
of the case
