Council Members.
OAKLAND, CAL, Feb. 27.-The Oakland
Enquirer tonight publishes story in
which it is claimed that two alleged spies
upon A. P. A. secrets were caught and
punished. The Enquirer says:
There was very exciting time at the meet
ing oil A. P a. Council No. II last evening
For some time past the San Francisco Moni-
tor, Rev. Yorke's paper, has been publishing
an account OF the doings OF the various A. ?. A.
councils in Oakland, and des pile every pre-
caution the ro,l of members and proceedings
o. one council after another became public in
this way.
In some manner it was learned thata certain
man and his partner were responsible for the
leak. They both protessed TO be connected
with an A. P. A. publica tion in San Fran
cisco visited all OF the councils in the
City. The published statements in the Monl-
tor grew 10 be regular feature OF the paper.
Matters finally reached a point in which the
Organization was excited with indignation,
and started on hunt for the offenders.
Ihe man in question with MS friend was at
Council No. IL last evening. and were at once
accused OF beiug Fa her Yorke's spies. In
their possession was found The membership

a bee inc for the Convent of Our Lady of the

was dragged back TO the hall ana handled
quite roughly.
When the hall was reached both men were
given severe bea ing and escorted 10 the
train and shipped to San Franc SEQ with q
warning never TO return on pain of death.
Some say the men were in such a condition
that they may not recover.
The suspect, it is said, has had room ir

For the meeting of the National Ed
vocational Association at Buffalo in
1896 the excellent service given by the
Union Pacific was commented on by all
those who had the pleasure of using
that line. This year our educational
friends meet in Milwaukee, Wis, July
9th to 9th, and members of the associa-
ton and others from points west of
the Missouri river, should by all means
take the Union Pacific.
The service of the Union Pacific via
Omaha or Kansas City is the very best.
The equipment consists of handsome
day coaches, chair cars, Pullman buffet
and drawing room sleepers, dining cars
and buffet smoking and library cars.
Fewer changes than via any other line.
One fare, plus $3.50 for the round trip
will be the rate from al points west of
the Missouri river for this meeting.

Last Friday afternoon, Evan L. VII
liams shot and dangerously wounded
Farnk Wilson in Chris Farrel's saloon
in DeLamar Williams was caught 10y
persons who were present and saw the
affair and held until Deputy Sheriff
Pascoe arrived AMI took him in charge
when complaint was made out against
him and warrant issued by Justice OF
the Peace Lamb.
His examination was put off until
Monday, awaiting the result of the
wound upon his victim, and again
postponed until Saturday tomorrow
at Williams request to enable him to
procure council, and he was committed
to the charge of the sheriff, with bail
fixed at $1,000, until examination be
held, and being unable to give bond is
now in Jail in Silver City.
From reports, it appears that Will
liams had been drinking and got into a
dispute with another party in the sal
Don and when about to pull his ever
too ready gun, Wilson, whom Williams
had accused of having stolen a saddle
from him, appeared, and Williams, with
the remark, "You stole my saddle" i'm
mediately fired, striking the young
man in the lower part of the abdomen,
the ball ranging around and lodging in
the hip. 1t was at first thought by DR..
Plumer, who was promptly called, that
the wounded man could not long sur
vive, and the indignation against Viii
liams was very strong.
Williams has been resident of Owy.
hee county for the past fifteen years
and has always shown a penchant for
acting in the capacity of deputy sheriff
or detective, and has incurred the iil-will
of good many people. and of late be-
come the subject of a good many prac-
teal jokes and has for some time past |
been morose and ill-tempered. That he
would become involved in serious |
trouble has frequently been predicted
Frank Wilson is young man who
came here some months since with the
notorious Captain Carter, and except
ing for the unsavory character of the
persons with whom he came TO the
camp, nothing has been alleged against
him, except the accusation made by
Williams.
