sault uoon and attempted to murder Annie
Morrison. oldest daughter of Henry Morri
son. a prominent farmer of Cumberland

Morrison home yesterday afternoon abou'

household were visiting in the neighborhood
except the oldest daughter. who remained
at home to care for the'house Bauer, un-
noticed. went direct to Morrison's home.
Miss Morrison screamed for help when
he entered. but no one was near enough to
hear her, though the house was close to one
of the most frequented public roads.
She fought the fiend with desperation, but
the negro drew piece of sharp iron strik.
ing her two or three blows on the head and
inhicting wounds that may prove fatal. lie
fed, believing his victim dead.
When the neighbors learned of the horrl-
BILE affair, they formed mob and pursued
the negro with bloodhounds. They trailed

for murder or any other offense committed

for murder or any other offense committed
prior to January |, 1858.
This ruling was made by Judge Springer in
passing upon the case OF William Tiger, a
Green Indian convicted of murder in the
tribal court before it was abolished by act
OF Congress and sentenced to be shot Upon
writ of habeas corpus the Indians attor-
neys carried the case into the Federal court,
alleging errors in the tribal court
In passing upon the the case Judge Spring
er held that the tribal court had not erred
and the case was remanded to the tribal
court for execution of the sentence, but ap-
peal was again taken to the United States
Court of Appeals for the Indian Territory
While the case was pending there Congress
passed the Curtis act, wiping out OF exist
ence in July last the tribal courts and all
their officers. The decision of the tribal
court was again sustained and the execution
was not rendered until after the Curtis
act became law.
Again the Indians attorney brought the
case before Judge Springer and the latter's
decision that the sentence could not be ex-
ecuted, inasmuch as the court had been
abolished, was the result. Similar decisions
were also rendered in the cases of Chiffon
Flennelly and Becher Smith, both of whom
were under sentence of death by the Chero
kee courts. Judge Springer ordered the re.
lease of the three murderers.
incidentally, Judge Springer announced
that there was now no law under which
punishment could be inflicted for crimes
committed prior to January last in the ter
ritory that was to that time under the iuris
diction of the courts of the five Indian
tribes. The tribal courts have been wholly
abolished and the Federal court had nc
jurisdiction prior to January first last.

SPANISH RIFLES
Are Generally Found in Very Bad
Condition

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-The Board of
Officers OF the Ordnance Bureau, which
we're directed by General Flagler to in.
ouire into the conditions of Spanish small
arms captured at Santiago, has made its
report, c.,

ser Of seven millmeter caliber, and the
Turkish Mauser of 7.G5 millimeter caliber.
The cartridges for these arms are of course
not interchangeable. There is only small
percentage Of the latter arms, however, no not
iect Of restoring them for the United States
army. -,
OF the Spanish Mausers it was found that
about three-fourths of them could be util-
ized by taking parts Of the remainder and
supplying deficiencies in the best arms. This
would make, at rough estimate, 1000 Mau-
sers available for use in the army if needed.
No decision has been reached as to the
feasibility of introducing them into the
American army, and it is possible that for
the present they will be held to await an
emergency.

Emperor Francis Joseph will marry again.
The possibility of obtaining son to pre-
serve the line of direct succession, it is
thought, may induce him to overcome his
own personal inclinations. Ihe present
son Of the late Archduke Charles Louis,

A Long List of Those Who Have
Graduated From the School

The season of graduation in the Varl-
Gus institutions of learning is at hand.
The Sacramento High School deserved
ly stands prominent among those OF
the State and among it's classes are
found many men and women OF dlstlnc-

The class of '9S is about to make It's
bow and at it's graduation it is proposed
that the newly-formed Alumni Asso-
c1ation shall celebrate the thirty-Iourlh
anniversary of the graduation OF the
first class, in 1864. The school mas
been in existence ever since 1879, put
there is no record of any graduation De
fore 1864. The class of '9I, upon It's
graduation, put in force the ldea that
had been formulated several years De-
fore, but not acted upon, OF forming
an Alumni Association, and called a
meeting of all the post-graduates OF the
school, The call was successful one,
and 141 graduates enrolled and formed
the present association
This year, after the graduating ex-
ercises, it is proposed to have grand
reunion of the post-graduates and
those of '9S, and a circular letter has
been sent out to all whose addresses
can be obtained, inviting them to at
intention to do so. Among those who
responded is Mrs. Mary Hurd Elmore,
who was the valedictorian of the first
class graduated, that of GA, and who
lives in Astoria, Or. She expresses
her qualification at the formation Of
the association, of which she will be-
come a member, although she may not
be able to attend the reunion.
The Alumni banquet Will be held on
the evening after the closing exercises
of the school, and there will be a large
attendance and many old schoolmates
who have not met for years Will clasp
hands around the festive board and
talk over the old days.
Many of them have since held more
or less prominent positions and one has
represented this State in Congress.
They have been widely scattered and
some of them have passed over the
dark river. but a goOdly number still
remain in the land of the living.
The following list contains the names
of those who have graduated, with the
