LANDED INA PRISON CELL.
Murderer of Private Stafford Brought
to LeaVenWorth.

Leavenworth, Sept. 5.-Sergeant Ma
jOr G. F. Duggar, Nineteenth United
States infantry, arrived here from
Ponce, Porto Rico, in charge of Private
LaDuke, Company A, Second Wiscon-
sin, and William Apter, a camp follow
er, to serve time in the federal prison.
Sergeant Major Duggar had as his as
sistants to guard the prisoners Musi-
clan Alfred NJ. Thompson, Company D,
and Private Julius A Stoltze, Compa-
ny T, Nineteenth infantry. LaDuke
was charged with the murder of Pri-
vate Stafford, Third artillery, and by
court martial convicted and sentenced
to life imprisonment at the federal pris-
on. LaDuke vas not aware of the
length of his sentence until his arrival
here, but when informed did not appear
to be taken off his feet. He said he
would at once get into communication
with his people to secure a cutting down
of the sentence. The escort states that
LaDuke committed a cold blooded muir
der. After he had beaten up the SOL
der, he went after his gun and shot
him.
Apter is an Australian, and was tried
for stealing $3.50 from Captain Williams
of the quartermaster' department. He
has a sentence of eighteen months. The
sergeant and his escort are dressed in
the kahki uniform, and make a very
good appearance. The commitment pa
pers are signed by Colonel Gilmore, ad-
jutant general, and Captain William S.
Scott, First cavalry.

MAY OPEN THE RANKS.
G. A. r. Discusses the Admis-
sion of Soldiers of the Late
War.

CINCINNATI, Sept. 5-After the rains of
yesterday and last night there is no
longer apprehension from prostration
from heat during the national encamp-
ment of the G. A. r. here this week
The railways are bringing in excursion
lists from every direction and the local
posts are kept busily engaged in escort
ing the visitors to their quarters. Al
though Camp Sheridan was not dedicat-
ed till 10 o'clock this morning it was
partially occupied by veterans last
night. Other tents pitched in the parks
were also used and all quarters will be
well occupied tonight.
The reports of the railways indicate
over 200, 600 tickets sold. While many
have arrived the past two days, these
railway reports indicate a greater in
flux the next two days than was ever
known before at these national encamp-
mentS.
The festivities of the week opened ear
ly when the naval veterans formed at
a. m. to escort Rear Admiral Kelley
from the depot. The opening exercises
of the naval veterans harbOr under the
auspices of the national naval veterans
association occurred at a. m. while the
martial music of the G. A. R. posts was
| heard in every part of the city in pre-
pairing for the dedication of Camp Sher-
man and the reception at 10:40 a. m. of
ander-in-Chief Goblin and his
staff The national Soldiers home at
! Dayton, Ohio, Is less than so miles dis
tant and the veterans from that insti-
tuition are taking active part Those
who can participate in the parade VIII
wear Khaki suits, the same as the rough
riders. They have over 100 men in
their band, the largest ever at any en-
campment. Three other bands from
Dayton accompany this contingent
with which the Dayton posts will be as
! ISOLATED. 1t is estimated by Captain
| Henry E. Feicht and Captain T. J. Ad-
Ii n
/ from Dayton.
Among the questions discussed is one
| to make all engaged in the late Spanish
| war eligible to membership as COM
! rades in the "OId Grand Army.''

squarely on his ample legs, the kid" in
clines his large body to the right which
raises his left shoulder. His head is thrown
forward somewhat to the right, while his
sharp eyes under a wrinkled brow are
fastened on his opponent. That long and
very effective left is in a hooked position
and darts forward and back in a manner
confusing to an opponent. The right
elbow is crooked and the forearm in posi-
ton to block body or face blow or else
drive for the enemy. Usually the left, after
a few feints, goes forward like a flash. 1t
may collide with the nose of the hapless
man opposite or 1t may land with dull
thud on the stomach.
Corbett will probably stick to the IA
nous side step which has served him so well
on previous occasions. The ezachampiOn
is understood to have invented a new blow
which combines the force of an uppercut
with the Hghtninglike rapidity of the
hook. The feint is of course made first
with the right arm. This calls for a de-
fensive gesture on the part of the adver-
sary. An instant later and before the
quickest boxer has time to readjust his
position the left arm comes round with
swinging uppercut The chances are that
this ingenious tactic will break down the
opponents defense entirely and the blow
viii be delivered with It's full force. If it
misses that, the recovery is such that the
ward jab. The originality of the new
blow, it viii be seen, consists in the COM
bination of two familiar and dangerous
blows, but gives a posi- bility of three eff
fectiye results. A blow delivered in this
fashion tends to confuse the opponent,
who viii be in doubt as to which arm will
strike, and it will therefore be very diff
cult for him TO defend himself The up
percut, which is always a very dangerous
blow Is likely To he landed in this vvav
squarely without being deadened by any
parrying blow
Mccoy also has a new blow which he
Rptly calls the ricochet. 1t is a combina-
tion Of "a left hand hook. - "a swing'
and "a back hand blow, - affording in its
action the possibility of the knockout
blow" three different times. While it is
first meant to skip the right guard of Cor
bett, its next object is to land on Mr.. Cor
belts chin; failing in that, to go on
down in a sweeping line with the posi-
bility of Finding" Mr.. Corbett's wind,
and, failing in that, to quickly recover so
as to come back again in another set of
circles or sweeps that contain a third and
last possibility of a Knockout blow bv
a back hand sweep. In detail it is made
as follows: The left hand Is drawn we'll
down to the side and poised as if for
left hook, " with every muscle set for the
blow, and after a feint or two with the
hand the fist is started first as a cleft
hook" for the chin, but instead taking a
course something like the figure s. If it
only lands as intended, as a ''hook, " its
work is done; but, missing that, it may
by its peculla- course reach the apex of the
stomach in its rotary downward course.
If it misses again, it goes on and comes
sweeping back for the last chance of again
reaching the chin with the back of the
hand

SIMPSONS PLUM.
He Will Get $4,000 Prize
Money: Dewey Less Than
$4,000.

New York, Sept. 5.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Washington says:
At least 100000 prize money will
be distributed among American sailors
as a result of the war with Spain.
More than one-half of this sum will
be paid in accordance within that sec
ton of law providing for the payment
of a bounty for persons on board YES
sells of war sunk in action.
1t is estimated that the aggregate
amount due the Asiatic fleet, as a re-
suit of the destruction of the Spanish
force amounts to $1S7, 800 which con-
gress will be asked to appropriate dur
ing the coming session
One-tWentieth OF this sum belongs to
Rear Admiral Dewey as commander-in-
chief and he will, therefore, be $9,375
richer than he was before the war.

LEAVING TIN: PARTY OF GOLD
SANPETE REPUBLICANS GET
TING THEIR EYES OPENED.
Judge Jacob Johnson's Son Becomes
a Democrat-Abner Lowry and
Scores of Others to Follow.

Ephraim, Aug. A.-On all sides former
Republicans OF more or less prominence
are denouncing the barefaced attempt 10
capture their votes by a pretended friend
ship for silver, and declaring themselves
as straight Democrats.
They can hear men now talking for Sill
Yer mot free coinage). protection and reel
procity, who, only few short weeks ago,
were telling them that the silver question
was dead and that the gold standard was
the proper financial system They can aISo
see by the papers that in every state III
the Union except Utah, the ReoublcanS
are resolving unequlNocally Tor the Solo
standard they realize that the Repupn-
can party cannot consistently declare Tor
gold in the nation and silver IN Otan-
Among the latest converts IS j: Morgan
Johnson, who was one of the brightest
young Republicans IN the county: Mr..
johnson is d son of Hon. Jacob Johnson,
judge of this district, who is hlmSelI
a sIaunch silver man. Morgan has al
ways been consistent believer in the free
and unlimited coinage of silver and when
vention declared for gold, he allied him
self with the silver Republicans. Now,
when that party disbanded in the state, ne
announces himself a Democrat Scores or
others Will follow his example.
Abney Lowery, jr., is another pron1i-
nent Republican who proclaims himself a
Democrat. He has been the wheel horse
in keeping up a Republican organlZat ton
in the Democratic town of Sterling. He
believes n silver and can now see that
the Democratic party is the only place for
silver men.
And this is not the only source of
trouble for the silVerplated Hannaites.
There are in the county a respectable
number of consistent Republicans who do
not favor deviating from national Repuo-
lican principles and who will refuse 10
be made a party to any such schemes as is
prposed by the Tribune and the admins
tration heelers. Prominent among this
t + PLEASE
ant who is very pronounced in his denun-
citation Of the scheme and who openly
declares that the party cannot be re-
united by any such means.
There is still another issue worrying the
Republicans OF this county. which, while
at present confined principally 10 Manti
is rapidly spreading to other places Some
time ago a number of farmers and stock
men OF Manti made homestead entries on
the lower mountain lands cast OF the city
for the purpose OF securing partureS Tor
their stock. The sheepnen evidently
considered this action an infringement on
their rights, for them commenced contest
proceedings TO GUST the entrymen. ~
and they now openly denounce the local
sheepmen and declare they will never
vote another Republican ticket. This Will
make Manti surely Democratic. The
sheepmen have evidently seen the error
of their way and have Withdrawn the con-
tests, but the breech cannot be healed
now. AS one of the parties remarked,
They have shown what they would do II
they had the power and 1 don't propose 10
assist them IN getting any more power
with my vote.
