CONFERENCE IN PROGRESS.
Serious Trouble Feared within the Next
Few Hours-Troops Ordered
tO Walker.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Oct. S.-A Jour-
nails Walker special says: confer
ence between Indian Agent Sutherland
and the Chippewa chiefs now at the
agency is going on, and the matters
are again assuming a threatening as
pect.
Mrs. Colby, who is employed at the
agency school as an instructor, was
this morning ordered to leave the
agency by Indians, and has just ar
rived here. She fears serious trouble
within the next few hours, and says
that the preteXt for the bucks, who
are constantly arriving at the agency
from all directions, that they have
come to sign rolls, is manufactured
for the occasion.
Indian Agent Sutherland, before
starting, gave 1t as his opinion that
the conference would not amount to
anything, but felt it his duty to go,
inasmuch as the bucks had request
ed it.
A rumor is current here that the
two troops of cavalry from Fort Yates
and Fort keogh, which passed through
Minneapolis Tuesday night on the
way to Huntsville, Ala, have been or
dered to come to Walker as fast as
they can be got here.
None of the inhabitants here, with
the exceptions noted, has any hope
that the end is near. 1t is generally
held that the beginning has not yet
been made. Sick and wounded men
were taken to st. Paul in a special car
attached to the regular train yester

SAN JOSE SCALE IN THE STATE.
Peach Orchards, of Georgia Believed
to BE I'm Imminent Danger.


Atlanta, Ca, March 1S-The state ento-
mologlst. who was appointed under an act
of the last legislature, has made some i'm
portant discoveries among the peach or
chards.
In letters to the department of agricui-
ture he has reported the existence of the
deadly San Jose scale in some of the or
chards of Marshallvile and in Decatur
and Thomas counties.
II is feared that this insect pest will be
found all over the state and that the vast
peach plantations of Georgia are in inn
mlnent danger.
The San Jose scale is the work of a very
minute insect, which was first discovered
in this country five years ago, and was
supposed to have been brought to Califor-
MIA from Chile or China. 1t is even more
dreaded among peach growers than the
blight is among pear growers 1t is said
to be harder to cope with than any insect
pest that has ever been known and the
United States department of agriculture
has spent a great deal of time and money
trying TO find means 20 exterminate 1t.

Atlanta, Ga, March 1S-A final appeal
to save the life of Mrs. Elizabeth Mobiles,
the Twggs county murdress, was made
before the state pardon board to-day.
The old woman was represented by At
torneys Marion Harris of Macon and W.
c. Glenn of Atlanta.
They made a strong appeal for commu-
tation of the death sentence which has
been hanging over her head for SO many
months, and at the conclusion Of the hear
ing Attorney Harris challenged the pardon
board to go to Macon and see the woman.
He declared that they could never allow
her to be hanged once they had seen her
condition.
The plea for clemency was based upon
the ground that Mrs. Mobiles was not of
sound mind when she killed her husband,
and that she has never had fair and i'm
partial trial
Attorney Harris also went further and
said there was a mystery in the case and
until it was cleared up he would not be-
lieve that the killing was done by the I'M
fortunate woman.
