SETTLED ACCOUNT WITH GUNS
HORSE DEALERS BOLD PLAY
AT CHICAGO.
At the Point of Revolvers He Forced
Commission Firm to Draw a
Check For $10,416.

Chicago, Sept. S.-William r. Mac
Farland of the horse commission firm
of MacFarland & Evans of East ST.
Louis, today walked into the office of
Louis Newgass & Son at the stock
yards here and presenting revolver at
the head of Louis n. Newgass, junior
member of the firm, commanded him
to send for his cashier, Frank Moseley.
Upon the appearance of Moseley, Mac
Farland drew another revolver and
ordered the cashier to draw a check in
his favor for s10,416, which he claimed
the firm owed him. When the cashier
had finished making out the check,
MacFarland instructed Newgass, at the
same time giving a menacing flourish
to his weapon, to afflx his signature to
the paper. That done, the man from
East ST. Louis lined the two frightened
men up against the wall of the office
and with all the solemnity of a judge
at the bar, administered an oath to
them to the effect that they would not
attempt to follow him or raise an out
cry. He departed, after slowing his re-
volvers and the check in his pockets.
Moseley and Newgass telephoned the
police headquarters what had hap
pened. The check was drawn on the
National Live Stock bank and Captain
LAWN Immediately dispatched two de-
tectives to the bank. MacFarland was
standing at the cashiers window with
the check in his hand when the officers
entered He was so intent upon eX-
changing the paper for currency that
he failed to notice the detectives until
they seized him. MacFarland was
quietly disarmed and a few minutes
later was behind the bars of a cell at
the police station.
The $1O.4l6 which MacFarland at
tempted to collect by intimidating
Newgass and AIoseley is said to be the
amount due MacFarland in conse-
quence of a sale of horses to the De-
four commission company. The trans
action is said to have taken place some
time ago, and the time set for the pay
ment Of the money was 10 days after
the delivery of the stock. Later it is
claimed the time payment was cut
down to five days, whereupon the De-
four company transferred it's interest
in the deal to Newgass & Son.
MacFarland feared he would come
out loser in the transaction and chose
summary tactics to get even.

Make q Good Appearances.

Lehi. Sept. S.-This morning at z
o'clock the great whistle at the utan
Sugar factory gave the signal for all
the machinery to be put in motion ana
125 men who are now on the payroll
were all in their places. Superintend-
ent Valaze was on hand to see that

very soon washed and cut. AT present
there are about ], 900 tons OF beets IN the
sheds and $50 farmers with their force
of bows and girls and men and teams
are busy digging and hauling. IL IS
expected that each farmer VIII harvest
from three to four tons OF beets a DAY;
this will bring about 500 tons day and
as the farmers do not work Sundays 1t
will, perhaps, keep the institution
moving. The first strike of sugar IS
expected TO come down on Friday II

to see the great loads of beets on the
road all day long.
The company expects to build In the

be used after the regular run. The
tank will be built of brick and cement.
Manager Cutler is delighted with the
prospects of the run and says that the

still coming in are very fine and also
very clean. AS the season advances
and the beets come in by rail a number
of more hands will be put TO work.
The factory now looks like city of
itself with it hundreds of electric lights.

GHOST DANCE At FILLMORE
LOCAL INDIANS JEALOUS OF
THE VISITORS.
Large Crowds of White People Visit
the Camp and Witness the Unique
Ceremonies.

Fillmore. Sept. S.-The biennial
ghost dance of the Indians living east
of Kanosh is being held and has con-
tinued since Sunday night. A great
many Indians and squaws from the
surrounding country, bringing with
them their dogs, horses and 'vermin,
are congregated at that place and are
holding their hideouS lamentations dur
ing the night time and in the interval
exchanging courtesies with the resi-
dent Indians-and squaws.
Their number is about $50 and their
picturesque appearance during the
dancing hours would do credit to a
Spanish bullfghter. Large crowds of
young people from the surrounding
towns go nightly to witness the weird
spectacle, which is as good as a circus
or a Republican convention trying to
harmoniZe the silver and Mckinley
forces.
Your correspondent visited the camp
last evening and witnessed the maneu-
vers from the beginning to the close,
and while there was nothing happened
which could be repeated at Sunday
school, yet the whole can be called a
picturesque and bowling success.
The most picturesque of all the bucks
is Marcus Hanna-Long- Tailed Horse"
from Nevada, who has a strong desire
for distilled vapor, and who struck his
squaw Tuesday night with a two-gal-
Ion cuspidor on the face. for which he
was Immediately tied down and re-
manned so during the balance of the
evening.
The squaw had been flirting" with
Uintah Indian, in a manner not quite
orthodox, and this morning the hubby
reminded her of the fact by cutting
an under-half-crop and two Sits in her
left ear.
The dance will last all this week and
part of next unless the home Indians
become so jealous they run the others
off before that time.

NICARAGUA CANAL.
Admiral Walker Reports On the
Condition of the Work.

Washington. Sept. s-Admiral Walker,
president of the Nicaragua canal COM
mission, has returned to Washington and
is again devoting his attention to the
collation. and compilation of the material
which will form the substance of the re-
port of the commission. The admiral
says that the commission has now about
$50 men at work along the line Of the
proposed canal. and they will stay there
throughout the rainy season. They are
making borings and ascertaining the
character of the soil at every point where
it is proposed to locate dams, locks or
other heavy masonry structures. In adj
dition to this, the field parties are taking
accurate measurements of the rainfall
and the flow of the various streams lying
within the limits of the canal concession
Admiral Walker is confident that the
commission will be able to report to con-
gress at the approaching session, and
while he says the necessary data has not
been obtained to accurately determine the
cost of the canal. he feels confident that
the project will be shown to be entirely
practicable and worthy of execution.

The Attendance.

A conservative estimate of the num-
Der who attended the funeral services
at the tabernacle yesterday places the
figure at 5000. Perhaps 1000 more
were on the outside during the greater
part of the ceremony and thousands
more lined the streets to watch the
cortege pass.
The number of visitors from other
cities is placed at 1000. The Oregon
Short line carried 1900 from the north
and south. The Union Pacific brought
in fully 200 from points in Wyoming,
while $50 came in from Eureka. On
that the figure Will reach a couple &C
thousands. The outside attendar
far exceeded the expectations of -
railroad officials.
