sHoPLIFTERS IN COURT.

The cases of Tillie Feis and Ella Shear er,. the two young women arrested in the Emporium last Saturday evening for shoplifting. were heard by Judge Mo- gan yesterday afternoon. Attorney Long appeared as special prosecutor, and the defendants were represented by counsel. .. The evidence for the prosecution was clear. The Feis girl then took the stand and threw the whole blame upon her companion. Ella was so indignant that she asked permission of the Judge to re- tire until Miss Fes examination was over, and when she took the stand she accepted her share of the blame, but de- clared that Miss Feis was as guilty as herself, if not more so.
 The Judge said he had no other re- course but to find the defendants guilty. The law was not revengeful, but was in .clined to be merciful when the occasion arose. He did not therefore like the idea of sending the young girls to jail, as 1t was their first offense, and he would give them a chance to repent and mend their ways. The cases were continued for week to see how the girls would act meantime.

Gus Roster Vanquishes the Former in Short Order-Thrae-R Round Bouts That Proved In-
 teresting.

Gus Roster of the San Francisco Ath- letic Club still retains the title of anna teur champion middle-weight of the Pa cific Coast. Ed Lynch of the California Athletic and Swimming Club essayed to deprive him of that honor last night be- fore the members and friends of the Manhattan Athletic Club, with nearly l dire results to himself and to boxing in ! this city.
 love tap administered. by Gus dex- terous left sent him on his back, and as ! his head struck the poorly padded floor the impact could be heard all over the gymnasium. Lynch's chances of winning were slightly dimmed by the left swing but the bump he received in falling sent him to dreamland. Sergeant Blank then jumped into the ring and stopped hos tilities.
 The fight was short and crisp. Both men entered the ring strengthening their vulnerable points by chewing gum Ref cree Conroy admonished them in the proper manner, and as the gong sound ed both men spat out their gum and the sport began. Lynch rushed and land- ed light tap, and Roster sent him to the floor with left jolt. Lynch arose and spared a while and then led again. This time Roster was ready for him and landed left hook on the jaw Lynch was daZed by the blow, and mechanically raised his hands, when Roster swung again. The glove landed on the chin, and the California Clubs pride went to the floor with a bang. The Yanquished pugilist showed marvellous grit The bump on the head would have settled nine out of ten men, but Lynch stag gered to his feet daZed and beaten.
 The police sprang forward at this mo- ment, fearing that he had sustained grievous injuries. Roster was either mer- ciless or "rattled," for he tried to finish his rival with another left. Had his arm not been arrested by Sergeant Blank an other ring fatality would have been re- corded, as Lynch was past the point of defending himself.
 Even when the latter's seconds led him to his seat to revive him he was closely inspected by Lieutenant Price and his as- sistants.

the adjoining timber for any lurking saVaees, but none were to be seen. They must have been hidden in thick underbrush, and those unaccustomed to searching timber could easily have been deceived, for it was not ten min utes after this before the firing had commenced. Had the Indians not con- templated a general massacre they would have fired on the men who were searching the timber. It was in accord ance with their treacherous nature to wait until they had our men at a dis advantage before they opened fire upon them, perhaps hoping to kill the whole number at the first volley
 These Pillagers are we'll armed and are good marksmen, therefore it is easy to see where they had the adVan- tage of the situation at the start. If our men are not all killed, it is sur missed that they have gone some dis tance into the woods, where they would be safe from a night attack from an- other band of Indians who could have come suddenly upon them on the lake shore. If it is true that the Cass Lake Indians have gone to assist the Bear Islanders the fate of Bacon can be un- derstood."

CASS LAKE. Minn., Oct. 6.-All the people here that have arms are sleep ing on their guns tonight, and 1t is a pitifully small proportion of the popula- tion. Men began coming in early this evening with reports of seeing Indians in parties of five to twelve and all armed. and appearing as if they were looking for trouble. As night came on the reports have continued to come in and the alarm has increased. Finally, business men at Il o'clock wired a re- quest to Governor Clough for arms and ammunition for 200 men and for pro- lection in the form of troops. There is a special train going east that is due here about a. n., and fears are enter tained for its safety, as 1t is not un- likely that the Indians may remove some of the rails at any point in this vicinity.

JACKSONVILLE IS EXTOLLED
SITE GOOD AND SUPPLIES PLEN.
 TIFUL.
The Former Consul General to Cuba Did Not Believe That He Had Been
 Sidetracked.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

WASHINGTON, Oct 6.-The War Investigating Commission held two sessions to-day. In the forenoon Gen eral H. V. Boynton concluded his tes- timony, and General Fitzhugh Lee was heard in the afternoon.
 General Boynton dwelt upon the causes of disease at Camp Thomas, charging the increase toward the close of the camp to the lack of sufficient care on the part of the regimental and brigade commanders in covering the sinks.
 General Lee detailed the conditions prevailing at the camp at Jacksonville. He said the site was a good one, the supplies were plentiful, the men well taken care of, and added that he had no complaint to make of the War De- partment's treatment of his command.
 He also took occasion, in reply to a question put by Captain Howell, to say that he did not consider that he had been sighted in the war. He wanted to go to Havana, and the President had recently told him that in case it had been necessary to take Havana by as- sault he had intended to ask him (Gen- eral Lee) to lead the assaulting army.
 Governor Beaver read a letter com blaming of the situation in the Jack sonville camp. The letter said the camp was filthy, the bread moldy. the doctors generally drunk, etc.
 Is that from my command?" Gen eral Lee asked in evident surprise.
 When informed that it was he said he was astonished and asked for the name of the author. He said in this connection that occasional complaints had come to him, which he examined, and in every case found them to be un- founded.
 Then" said Governor Beaver. after some further questioning, you con- slider yourself in good condition in every way to start on the expedition to Cuba 2"
 T do," replied General Lee. "Touch a button and we are prepared even to go to Madrid"
 Captain Howell asked General Lee if he considered that he had been side tracked in the campaign.
 T don't think so," replied General Lee. T have from time to time seen something in the newspapers to the effect that it was not the intention of the authorities that I should have an opportunity for active participation in the campaign. l, of course, had no claim to go to Santiago or Porto Rico, as other officers In the army ranked me. It was always the under standing that my corps was organized for the Havana campaign. I had some ambition to go there, because I had not been allowed to stay while I was there. I wanted to go back with some men and show our enemies that I could stay"
 He continued by saying that the President had told him within the past few days that he had always intended | r; &o nd case there had been an assault on the city that he should have led it.
 He said in conclusion that he knew of no cases of distress, starvation or death from any neglect or that was due to any ineficiency on the part of the Government officials. He said he had no complaint to make against the War Department, and knew of none of his command who had.
 General Greene, who participated in the Manila campaign, will be heard to- morrow.

DECIDED TO BE GOOD INDIANS

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 6.-The Jour- naPs Walker special says: There was a big conference at the agency last night. Lieutenant Humphrey of the agency detachment and Dr. Hart, the agency surgeon, were there, together with half a dozen bad characters who had voted in favor of joining the Pill lagers. Dr. Hart told them that if they went on the warpath there would not be a live Indian on Leech Lake in a week. Lieutenant Humphrey backed the statement. After several hours talk the Indians decided to be good h.
 dians at least for the present, but the assurance may not be worth much.

DEsULToRY FIRING ALL NIGHT

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. GA special to the Journal from Walker, Minn., says: The third expedition to the Point has just started There are fifteen rifemen on board, picked men. The boat carries coffee and provisions. The detail is under the direction of pr. Camp of Brainerd, an old Indian fighter, who never knew the name of fear. The troops have had nothing to eat since yesterday at noon. They have not even had a drink of whisky to sustain vii tality. The night was dreadfully cold. Men without blankets must have suf- fered fearfully. Every man in this town slept all night with Winchester across his arm. The gang that came up from Brainerd under Dr. Camp are about as determined a lot as I ever saw There is going to be an Indian exodus here as sure as the sun rose this morn- ing The temper of the soldiers left here and at the agency is something to make a man gasp. Lieutenant Humph- rey is counting the minutes until rein- forcements arrive. This command will probably be relieved when the fresh troops come and be given chance at the enemy.

There was desultory firing about the headlands above this town all night. What it was about I cannot discover. I think the Indians were signaling in this manner. There were 200 men under arms here.

They may be telling the truth, but I would not believe a redskin under oath after what I have learned of him.
