the Santiago campaign with the Presi-
dent. going into details as far as possible
in the time at the Presidents dispos Il.
Leaving 1-ere the General said that he
had insisted upon a most searching in

became known it would be seen that
very many Of the published reports con
corning the food supplied to the army
were absolutely without any founda-

struggle meant to the two Of them
meant more to them thar to all the
others in the stand together. Not only
the money. but honor-life itself was at
stake.
As they flashed past the stand. Zig

And so they caught the judges eye.
The stout heart of the gallant horse,
and the cool head of the steel-nerved
rider had won the race that was all but
thrown away.

National Schedule Arranged-G Gam es
 Here Tuesdays and Fridays.

Hartford, Conn, Oct. 5.--The mana gers of the various teams in the Ma tional Polo league met in this city to- day. All of the eight teams in the league were represented. The most important business to be transacted is the adoption of schedule of games Two representatives of the Maine Polo league were present and requested the National league to adopt rule regulat- ing the sale of players, something af- ter the plan in vogue in the baseball leagues.

BRTDGEPoRT MURDER CASE.
Another Remarkable Inctdent-Special
 Session of Superior Court.

Bridgeport, Oct. 5.-A remarkable in- cident in the Yellow Mill pond tragedy came to light late this afternoon. Charles B. Baker, well known den- tist of this city, to-day received let ter from a prominent dentist in New York whose name Dr. Baker would not disclose, in which the writer states that he did some work for a young woman who was known as Mrs. Katherine Wilbur, who went to Los Angeles last spring and who said she was going abroad this fall. Thelletter also states that the womans maiden name began with a "G" and that the description of the woman arrested in London fits Mrs. Wilbur to the dot.
 At special session of the superior court to-day, Judge Silas A. Robinson on the bench, the grand jury summoned to take action in the case of Nancy Guilford, charged with having caused the death of Emma Gill of Southington, the victim of the Yellow Pond tragedy, returned true bill of murder in the second degreee. The principal object of the session was the perfection of a prima facie case against the woman, in order to permit of her extradition from England

GRIEVANCES OF THE INDIANS,
They Claim to Have Many Reasons for
 Their Outbreak.

Minneapolis Minn., Oct. 5.-The Pil- lagers and other neighboring Indians of the White Earth reservation claim to have many reasons for their out break, although the direct trouble with the Pillagers comes over attempts to bring in some of the Indians to the nection with timber selling cases. Their grievances go back through many years and there have been legislative and other attempts to settle them, one of the latest being the Nelson law re- gardng the sale of the timber on the Indian lands. However, the Indians claimed that the method of disposing of this was both cumberson and ex- pensive and that they were the suffer CTS. In serving as witnesses in illegal selling cases they claim that the dep uty marshals left them to find their own way home from Duluth without having paid them the proper mileage. This is denied by the deputies. The leader of the trouble with the Pillag- CTS Is an old warrior, Bog-Ah- Nab Ge- Schink, not a chief, who recently re- turned from court and was soon after wards sought by the deputies. He al- legged ill treatment in being turned adrift penniless in Duluth and aroused the other Indians to protest against the way he was treated. The United States marshals insist that the old mans story is unfounded, but the Reds had been stirred up to such a high pitch that trouble apparently became un- avoidable, in view of the deeply seated feeling of general ill treatment in re- gard to their timber lands and their rights in general

NOTABLE BUSINESS INCREASE.
Large Addition to the Shuster Factory
 to be Erected-New Corporation.

Large Addition to the Shustcr Factory to be Erected--New Corporation.
 As will be seen in another column of conducted by F. B. Shuster has just been merged into joint stock corpora
 tion. The capital stock is $4O,O0O, with 800 shares, the par value of each being
 $50. The stockholders are: Franklin B. Shuster, 700 shares; Luella F. Shuster, 79 shares; George D. Phillips, shares;
 F. l.. Kutscher, shares, and Edward
 F. Edgecombe, z shares, The officers
 of the company are: President, F. B.
 Shuster; vice president, George D. Phil lips, secretary, F. l.. Kutscher; general
 superintendent, E. F. Edgecombe
 Since MT. Shuster purchased the busi-
 ness several years ago, it has been
 greatly increased. The capacity of the factory has increased and every part is now utilized. Because of the constant ly increasing demands for the articles
 manufactured additional land has been
 purchased adjacent to the factory and it has been decided to erect a large brick building adjoining the present factory. Excavations for the cellar
 have already been commenced, and the superstructure will be completed as rapidly as possible. This new addition will be of importance to the residents
 of the section of the city in which the factory is located as there will be a
 large increase of the number of men
 employed It is a matter of much con-
 graduation that this business has in-
 creased so rapidly and materially.

THE WAR INVES7IGATI0N.
Gen. H. V. Boynton Follows General
 Wheeler on the stand.

Washington, Oct. 5.--Genera1 Wheel CT completed his testimony before the war Investigating committee to-day and was followed by General H. V. Boynton. General Wheeler's statement of to-day dealt entirely with the con- dition of Camp Wikoff, and General Boynton's with those of Camp Thomas, where he is now in command. General Boynton described in detail the provi- sions for supplying the Georgia camp with water and told many interesting facts about the location of the troops and the precautions taken to care for and protect them, whether sick or well, He said the men wasted more food than the army of the Cumberland consumed during the civil war in the siege of Chattanooga, and he eulogized the SUD- ply methods of the war department throughout.
