ORDERED TO YUKON RIVER.
Sudden News to Mounted Police
Causes Great Excitement.

Salt Lake, Feb. IA special to the
Tribune from Butte, Mont, says
Information received from Lethbridge,
on the Canadian boundary, is to the effect
that great excitement has been caused
there by orders received from the domin-
lion government that every man of the
mounted police hold himself in readiness
to proceed to the Yukon at moments
notice for temporary duty.
Superintendent Dean has received no
tice to go to Mcleod to relieve Major
Steel, who was ordered to the Yukon and
had left for that place before the arrival
of the second message. Five men were
also ordered to the Yukon and left yester-
day. The orders, which were received by
wire by the officers in command from the
division, are said to be due to the exist
ence of serious trouble between the Can
adam and United States authorities in
Alaska relative to the attempt by the
Americans to get provisions into the Yu-
kon free of duty, ostensibly for the relief
of distress, but in reality for sale to the
highest bidders.

HANGED AT HILLSBORO.
Paid the Death Penalty for a Crime
Committed Four Years Ago.

Hillsboro Ore, Feb. Gus Wachlin,
the murderer, was hanged here yester-
day.
The crime for which Gus Wachlin suf-
fred the death penalty was the murder of
John D. Ledrick, rancher of Washing
ton county, about March 10, 1894.
Wachlin, although only % vars of age,
served a term in the Oregon penitentiary
for larceny of cow from Ledrick prior
to 1894. He had just been released from
the penitcntiary when he went to Led
rick's farm, and taking club, beat his
brains ont. After burying the body in
the barnyard, he took what money Led
rick had and with team drove to Port
land, where he sold the horses.
Wachlin disappeared and for two years
no trace of him was discovered. In the
meantime Robert Buck, rancher, was
arrested and charged with the murder,
but he was discharged at the preliminary
examination. In September last Wachlin,
who was suspected of being the murderer,
was arrested in Morrow county, brought
here and found guilty.
| 1t was known that Ledrick and Rob-
ert Buck had not been on good terms and
Wachlin endeavored to fix the crime on
Buck.

sAvANNAH's EPIDEMIC OF FIRE
Damage of s125,OOO by Flames
starting in n Hay Warehouse.

Savannah. Ga, Feb. 7.-Savannah's cpl
demic of fire continues. Damage to the
amount of $l25,000 was caused by a fire
which started in hay warehouse on the
wharf at the foot of jefferson street. The
fire started in the hay in the warehouse
and threatened to be large confiagration
by the time the alarm was turned in.
The fire communicated to several brick
buildings on Bay street and three of them
were entirely Quilted. The heaviest loss
was sustained by Charles Conklin & Co.,
who carries 100000 stock of hardware,
with an insurance of $4,000. There have
been a dozen fires here within the last
two weeks and there is considerable talk
of frebugs.
| Before the fire which broke out in the
hay warehouse had been brought under
control, flames burst out in the magnifi-
cent Cathedral of st. John, the Baptist,
the seat of the Catholic church in the
| state of Georgia, and it was soon a mass
of ruins.
All of the fire engines in the city were
engaged at the other fires. Inc conse-
auence was that it was nearly an hour
before an engine arrived to turn stream
on the valuable property that was fast
going to waste, or other property around
that needed protection. The tremendous
shower of sparks that was carried up in
the heat for an hour or more fell in the
square and on other buildings made a
grand spectacle. The fire started in the
organ loft and spread rapidly through the
church. Everything was removed from
the rooms in the vicinity and it was only
after a struggle that they were saved.
At midnight the destruction of the ca
thedral was complete. The cathedral cost
$22, 900 and was insured for $4,000. 1t
was one of the finest ecclesiastical struc-
lures in the south. The edifce contained
many works of art, all of which were
saved,

SAYS HE DID 1T FOR REVENGE
Below Confesses to the Murder of a
Brother and Sister.

Fairfield, Cal, Feb. Crank Below has
confessed that he is a fratricide--a double
murderer. On the 9th of last November
the little town of Dixon was thrown into
a condition of extraordinary excitement
by the deaths from poisoning of Louis Be-
lew and his sister, Susie, who lived in the
same house Bruno Klein, an employee of
Louis Belew, was also poisoned, but recov-
cred after severe illness. Louis and
Miss Below were each engaged to be mar
ried, and suspicion of having placed in the
water kettle the poison which caused their
deaths at first fell upon rejected sutton
of Miss Below. This man was not arrest
ed, however, the officers being satisfied of
his innocence. Detectives worked secret
ly on the case and were soon convinced
that Frank Below had murdered his
disinherited and coveted their property.
The authorities We're aided by Franks
brother law, John w. Bird, who alleged
that Frank had confessed his guilt to him.
Frank Below was arrested on Thursday
night and at first protested his innocence
denouncing Bird as a deliberate falsifier
The officers predicted that Below would
weaken in Jail, and before he had been
in his cell 4S hours he had told the story
of the poisoning twice to reporters in the
presence of two different jail officials. AT
first Below said he did not know why he
had committed the crime, but subsequent
ly said: 81 guess 1 killed them for re-
venge; they had slandered my wife,"
The officers are unwilling to admit that
Bellows motive attained the dignity of re
venge, insisting that he committed the
murder through cupidity and for the sole
purpose of securing the six or seven thou
sand dollars possessed by his brother and
sister.

LIVE STOCK TRUST AT OMAHA.
Exchange Has a Rule to Freeze Out
Independent Operators.

Omaha, Feb. An the hearing of the
United States against the South Omaha
Livestock Exchange, ex-President Rich
ard Gilchrist was on the stand. He was
closely questioned and some of his testi-
mony bordered on the sensational. He
admitted that the exchange was monop-
oily SO far as the control of the sale of
stock on the local market is concerned.
No man can handle stock there who is
not member of the exchange, who has
not paid in $1,000 for his membership. Mr..
Gilchrist explained how one rule of the
exchange had been used for the purpose
of freezing out a combination of stock
growers and farmers, who had sought to
avoid the rules of the exchange and han
die their own business on a cooperative
plan.

BLOODY SHIRTS DISCOVERED.
Evidently a Foul Crime Was Com
mitted Near PalOuse River.

Colfax, Wash, Feb Evidence of
what is undoubtedly foul murder was
discovered near here yesterday by E. X.
Lloyd, while walking along the Palouse
river, one mile west of Colfax. Loyd's
attention was attracted by pile of cloth
ing lying in the mud by the river bank.
He picked up one of the garments, which
proved to be white shirt, and further
search revealed another white shirt and
an undershirt. In these was wrapped a
pocketbook and diary. In the former were
two drafts issued by the Banco de Occi-
dent of Mexico ON the Anglo-C Californian
bank, limited, of San Francisco, payable
to John Schiess, for 5000 each. The drafts
were written and printed in Spanish and
were dated May 2, 1892. There was also
what appeared to be a copy of deed or
contract written in Spanish at Guatemala,
and signed by Juan NJ. Rubin, also a GER
tificate from the clerk of the court of
Multnomah county, Oregon, that the fore
going was true copy of the declaration
of intention to become a citizen of the
United States. The copy stuck to the
pocketbook and was so badly torn it could
not be read The certificate was signed by
w H. Harris, the clerk of Multnomah
county, Oregon, dated September ID,
1892.
One of the shirts was covered with
blood and had five clean-cut holes, UNI
doubtedly cut by knife. The holes were
in various parts of the garments, as if
made during struggle. Around the
neck of the shirt was great deal of blood
and blood stains We're plainly visible
around each hole in the garment. From
the appearance of the clothes, they had
lain there a long time, and had probably
been washed by the river, as they were
filled with dirt, and the pocketbook was
thoroughly soaked. All the writing was
in Spanish except the certificate mention
| ed above. The two bank drafts were neat
ly executed on fine paper, but appeared
to have been in the water long time
| and the corners were badly worn.
Thre is no doubt that murder has
been committed and evidences of the
crime thrown into the river, which at last
gave up its secret. The pocketbook was
wrapped in -four sack, and around this
| was wrapped the two shirts. Deputy
Sheriff Matlock was notified and went
out to Loyd's house at the fair grounds
and examined the papers and garments
hanging the latter in stall near the race
track to dry.
John Schiess was undoubtedly the own.
er of the property, and it is presumed he
was murdered. When some one is found
who can read Spanish the identity of the
dead man may be learned.

SILVER AS A LEGAL TENDER.
To Test the ConstitutiOna1ity of the
BIand-AIlisOn Act.

Detroit, Mich, Feb. Sired A. Baker
a prominent attorney of Detroit, has filed
an answer to suit brought against him
in the Oakland county circuit court, in
volving the constitutionality of the Bland
Allison act and other laws pertaining to
silver as legal tender.
Stephen Baldwin bought farm upon
which Mr.. Baker held a mortgage that
became due to the amount of 1864. in
Guiding interest. Mr.. Baldwin rendered
Mr.. Baker 1854 silver dollars and asked
for the cancellation of the mortgage. Mr.
Baker refused to surrender the mortgage
for the 1854 silver dollars, but agreed tc
cancel it if he received enough silver dol
lars to equal the present bullion value Of
silver of 1854 gold dollars. This condition
was declined by Mr.. Baldwin and he filed
suit in equity, asking for decree com
handing Mr.. Baker to cancel the mort
gage in view of the tender made.
In the answer Mr.. Baker submits that
under the power "to coin money, regulate
the value thereof. and of foreign coin;
and fix the standard of weights and meas
ures," the congress of the United State:
has no more authority or power as fal
as pre-existing contracts for the payment
of money are concerned to diminish OIL
increase the number of grains of pure
gold or pure silver in the dollar, in which
contract has been lawfully expressed
than it has to pre-existing contracts t.
change the number of grains in an ounce
or the number of inches in foot, or fee
in yard, or to change any other stand
ard of weights and measures. Several o
the leading attorneys of Detroit are in
terested in the case.
