WASHINGTON, June "A telegram
received at the Indian Bureau to-day
from Agetn Stouch at the Tongue River
Reservation, announces the arrest of
Stanley, the Cheyenne, whose admission
of the murder of Sheepherder Hoover
precipitated the Indian trouble there.
The dispatch follows:
TONGUE RIVER RESERVATION,

confessed murderer of Sheepherder
Hoover, without trouble He is now un-
der military guard. The Sheriff is here

sible confederates, as we'll as evidence
against Stanley, while he is here. / am
lendeavoring to thoroughly investigate
the murder but am Handicapped in my
efforts by the Sherif's presence. I shall
put the case fairly before the Sheriff

The agent was Immediately tele-
graphed to note instructions wired by
the department last night, directing CO.
operation with the proper civil authorf-
ties, and to use every effort to avert
further trouble. The War Department
has also received news directly from
it's officers to the effect that the Indian
murderer of the stockman has suuren-
dered himself to the agent. That Cap
tain Stouch has shown himself compe-
tent to handle the trouble the officials
believe to be manifest from the tele-
graphic history of the trouble.
This afternoon Goveror Smith of Mon
tana telegraphed from Helena that he
had just received word that the mur-
derer had been arrested, and was in the
hands of the Sheriff He said he would
advise the Sheriff cooperate with the
agent, and thought the trouble was
about over. To-day's advices reassured
the authorities here, and they believe
the excitement will soon subside.

NEVADA CITY, June 2.-The men
who robbed the Providence mine of
1900 worth of amalgam on Monday
night are still at large. Millman Seith's
description of the men who held him
up tallies in every particular with that
given by Night Clerk Kavanagh of the
parties he claimed to have put TO rout
in fight at 3 o'clock on the morning of
May 10th, when he says they came into
the Union Hotel office and ordered him
at the point of a pistol to open the
safe. Sheriff Getchell declared Kava-
nagh's story of the hold-up and fight a
fake, and the young man had to leave
the city. The opinion is now rapidly
gaining ground that Kavanagh told the
truth and that the same men he stood
off looted the Providence strong box
That at least one of the robbers was
perfectly at home at the mine is admit
ted on all sides. Several strangers have
been camped in the southern suburbs
of the city and half a mile from the
Providence mine. Three officers went
there early this morning to surround
the camp, but there was nobody to be
found.

AWFUL TRAGEDY IN ILLINOIS.
GEORGE KAUFFrIAN MEETS WITH
A TERRIBLE FATE.
Robbed, Murdered and Then Cre-
mated-The Crime the Work
of Petty Larcenists.

STERLING QII). June 2-Robbed,
murdered and cremated. That tells the
awful fate of George Kaufman. He
stood guard over his fathers granary to
protect it from thieves, who killed him
at his post and sought to wipe out the
evidence of their fiendish cruelty with
fire. To-day all that remains of him is
corpse, with it's throat cut, its skull
crushed and it's head bullet pierced
charred lump of flesh.
There is no clew to the fiends who
committed the crime, but bloodhounds
are on the trail.
George Kaufman was the son of To-
bias Kaufman, a prosperous farmer
living about five miles north Of Ster-
ling. He was % years old. Farmer
Kaufman has two dwelling-houses
with about a quarter of mile between
them. He left his old home for his pres
ent dwelling about a year ago, but still
used some of the buildings attached to
the former residence.
Lately Kaufman discovered that
thieves were raiding his granary located
near the old residence. He asked his
son George to take up his night quar-
for the plunderers.
George Kaufman began his vigils two
weeks ago. He was unsuccessful, and
regularly went back to the other house
for his breakfast. On Tuesday morn
ing he did not come at the usual hour
The family waited some time without
concern. Then his father became
alarmed and started for the old house
to investigate, accompanied by Charles
Schrader the hired man. They went to
the house but there was no trace OF
young Kaufman. They soon scented
the straw-stack, which had been nearly
burned down and was still smoking, and
went to examine it. They We're horri-
fed to find on the top of the smoking
stack the body of young Kaufman
burned to a crisp, and with the cloth
ing all consumed. The victim had been
dubbed and his skull crushed. His
throat had been cut and the head was
nearly severed from the body. A bullet
mole showed that the murderer had shot
the young man.
Several persons in the neighborhood
are under suspicion, but there is no
evidence to warrant their arrest. Blood
hounds were put on the trail, but so far
without success. The surrounding
country is intensely excited over the
work of the brutal fiends, and friends of
the young man are demanding ven>
geance at the end of a rope without the
bubbles and delays of the law.

Suit for Heavy Damages.

TOPEKA (Kas), June 2.-The Met
ropolitan Life Insurance Company of
New York instituted a suit in the Cir
cult Court of the United States against
Webb McNall, State Insurance Com
missioner, claiming 100000 damages.
One-half of this amount is asked be-
cause McNall revoked or attempted to
revoke the company's license to do busi-
ness in Kansas, and the other because he
is alleged to have libeled the company
in published interviews. The suit is
against McNall as an individual, not as
an officer Of the State. This is the third

LIGHT AT LAST.

Unless all reports from Washington are
unfounded we are likely to have light at
last given from official sources upon the
situation in Caba. 1t is probable that the
recognition of the independence of the
island will soon be taken up as an imme-
diate issue by the administration and by
Congress, and all prospects point to the
conclusion that the decision OF the Gov
ernment will be favorable to the patriots.
The stories which have long been in cir
culntion that dispatches from General Lee
were smothered in the State Office during
the Cleveland ad ministration seem 10 be
well founded. 1t is now asserted that
these reports furnish to our Governme mt
sufficient grounds fo- interference in the
war. even 10 the extent OF taking part in
it ourselves if that should b, necessary to
compel the Spaniards to treat the Cubans
in accord with the principles of civilized
warfare. It will be RENE m bered that in
his last message 10 Congress Cleveland
stated that Spain must not expect the
United States to remain always indifferent
to the condition of affairs in Cuba, and it
now appears that he had more than suffi-
cient reason for giving the warning.

PRESIDENTIAL TOURS.

President Mckinley is said to be aim ost
overwhelmed with invitations from all
parts Of the country to attend celebra
tions, expositions and various other oc-
currences of local i'm portance. So num-
erous are these requests for his presence
al some time during the coming summer
that if be should undertake TO comply
with them all his time would be wholly
occupied in travelling from one place 10
another.
In a country so large as this, and among
people so given to grand gatherings OF
various kinds, 1t would of course be i'm
possible for the President to accept all
the Invitations givsn to him. He cannot
show himself at dozens o places from
Maine to California and from Minnesota
10 Texas in single summer. Neverthe-
less 1t will be we'll for him to attend as
many of these great local assem- bies as
possible, for President of the United
States can never too frequently meet the
people nor come into too close touch with
them.
When Washington began his first term
as President of the United States 1t was a
matter of grave discussion in mis- Cabinet
whether President should undertake a
tour of the country at times when Con-
gress is not in session. II was concluded
that he should, and Notwithstanding all
the disadvantages of travel in those days
Washington did undertake extensive
visits throughout the whole length of the
Union as it was at that time.
The example set by the first President
ought to be followed by every President.
If the country is larger now than it was
in Washing gton's time the i'm roved facili-
ties Tor travel have more than compen-
sat3d for the increased distances. 1t
would be easier for Mckinley to come to
the Pacific Coast than it was for Washing
ton to go to Boston. Presidential tours
should therefore tie counted among the
duties Of the office. 1t adds to the argu-
ment that in following the example of
Washington Mckinley would depart from
that of Cleveland.
