A LAST FUTILE ATTEMPT.
THE COUNCIL COMMITTEES.
Young and Bateman VIII Be Con-
frmed-Dr. Keogh's Case.

The council committee on municipal
laws last evening gave favorable con-
sideration tc the mayors appointment
of RI hard W Young to the Office of
assis ut city attorney, but vote was
not ken on a motion to recommend
confirmation. it is, however, quite
probable that the committee will re-
commend to the council Tuesday even
ing that the appointment be confirmed
The reason that little hitch occurred
in the programme is that the con9lit-
tee wished to establish as a precedent
in the confirmation of appOintees for
assistants to the elective officers that
the appointment shall be satisfactory
to The principal. 1t is, however, under
stood that the appointment of Mr..
Young is agreeable to City Attorney
Hall. but on this point the cormiLtec
wants to be positively assured. Tn
questionably Mr.. Young will be con-
firmed.

A SHOOTING AFFRAY.
OCCURRED IN A SECOND SOUTH
STREET SALOON.
The Combatants Were Intoxicated
and No One Was Hit-The ARRAY
Reported to the Police.

Yesterday morning about o'clock a
man rushed breathlessly out of saloon
on East Second South street and went
rapidly up the street. He met a police
man and reported to him that there had
been 4 shooting scrape in the saloon, and
he thought it would be safer for him to
get out than to investigate it The man
said he had been standing in the front
room at the bar when he was suddenly
startled by the report of a shot being
fired in the rear part of the saloon. He
heard a racket back there, but as the
door leading TO that part OF the building
was closed he could see nothing.
Fearing that there would be more shoot
ing and that he might be hurt he left the
building as fast as his legs could carry
him. AS it was some time afterwards be-
fore the policeman reached the place, all
was over when he arrived, and nothing
could be learned of the occurrence. When
asked about the matter yesterday the
bartender stated he was not on every
night and knew nothing about it, 1t is
said, however, that the shooting did occur
but who the actors in the ARRAY were
could not be learned. The shooting how
ever. was the outcome of a quarrel be-
tween two men who We're somewhat under
the influence of liquor. 10 one was hurt

A Grateful Mother Writes this Letter
Tells all about Her Troubles when
Baby Broke out with Scrofula Sores.
CAT the age of two months, my baby
began to have sores break out on his right
cheek. We used all the external APP
plications that we could think or hear of,
to no avail. The sores spread all over one
side of his face. We consulted physi-
clan and tried his medicine, and in a week
the sore was gone. But to my surprise in
two weeks more another scrofulous look
ing sore appeared on baby's arm 1t
grew worse and worse, and when he was
three months old, began giving him
Hoods Sarsaparilla. l also took Hoods
Sarsaparilla, and before the first bottle
was finished, the sores were well and have
never returned. He is now four years old,
but he has never had any sign of those
scrofulous sores since he was cured by
Hoods Sarsaparilla, for which feel very
grateful. My boy owes his good health
and smooth, fair skin to this great med
icine." Mrs. S. S. WRoTEN, Farming

in the west for that matter. will BE- the

states situate in the Rocky mountain
region.

PNKNEY sUBLETTE'S TORTURE
The Old Trapper Died In Ignorance
of His Wealth.

Evanston News Register: There is a
quiet, unassumins appearance in the per-
son of J. S. Mckinney, a late arrival in
Evanston. His actions are those of a
sleuth and his mission is made known
only TO those who have been recommend
ed TO him as probably possessing inIorma-
ton that may prove of untolo value TO
him and those he represents.
To reach a sudden climax, this gentle
man is in search of evidence bearing up
on the individuality of a long-lost trap
per-Pinkney SubleJts-whO traVerSed the
plains of Wyoming in the early SOS in
search OF the furry tribe. After sue
cessful seasons capture, Sublette would
go 10 market and convert his furs into
cash. which at times would reach into
thousands of dollars.
Pinkney Sublette was the last survivor
of his line. and fell heir TO his brother
estate in Missouri, CaliforniaFand Sonora,
Mexico. There is no doubt as TO the
Identical spot which marks the last rest
ing place OF the inheritor brother, near
beautiful Fontenell. in this county. The
point at issue between the present claim
ants and the courts is whether Pinkney
Sublette was living after the death of the
undisputed heir, Fannie SuDletIe, who
died in 1851 This is the object of MIR.
Mckinney's visit to Wyoming, and upon
this evidence depends the turtherance of
sensational suits TO recover property val
ued in the aggregate of nearly million
dollars. 1t has been three years since the
search was commenced, in which time the
10 Charles r. Robertson of Fontenelle,
and an inscription bearing, as nearly as
can be deciphered, the year 1865. DEPOSIT
tons of witnesses are being taken wher-
ever found. and if this point is clearly
proven to the court. the estate will not
remain heirless, as has long been ex-
pected.
The estate comprises many pieces of
property in the heart of St. Louis: 160
acres in Jefferson City, Mo-, on which is
located the Catholic church. nunnery and
several other buildings; 200 acres in the
heart of Kansas City. Mo-; a large area
in Sublette, Adair county, Mo, and val
liable piece of land in Los Angeles, Cal.
The estate also involves valuable gold
mines at Sonora, Mexico. which are under
lease to British syndicate at an enor-
nous figure
After seaching this section thoroughly
for evidence, Mr.. Mckinney will leave for
the north, to further inquire into the case.
He will travel through Montana and Ida
no. where he expects to secure witnesses
who can swear that Pinkney Sublette was
alive in 1860 four years after the death
of the undisputed heir. He will then re-
turn to St. Louis. where he will place his
case before the claimants attorneys.
