few DAYS ago by Judge Lindsay for
giving false testimony in endeavoring
20 secure m naturalization Of a for
eigner. is receiving the attention Of the
Jury. Shea is being held pending the
result OF the inquiry.
The chief purpose in summoning n

into a number of Indian cases and In
dams from about every tribe in Mon
TAM are expected to be brought TO the
city within the next few days to APP
pear before the jury as witnesses.
Among the Indian cases pending. the
one of chief importance Is the murder
case in which Ernest Stricken, a full
blood Sioux. is accused of numbering
John Bruguier. a half-breed, on the
Fort Peck reservation on the 18th of
last Jun
Stricken and Bruguier went to Gull

curing whiskey. got drunk The next
morning Bruguier was found in a dying
condition by the roadside leading from
Culbertson. Stricken was found a few
miles distant and as he had on some
of Bruguier's clothes was arrested.
Bruguier died and Stricken was charg-
ed with his murder. While in Jail he
was visited by a squaw named Joseph
Inc. TO whom he virtually confessed his
crime. He inquired of the squaw how
Bruguier was and being told he was
dead. said he supposed he would have
TO go too. Stricken has some education
and subsequently wrote the sduaw a
letter. In which he again indirectly adj
United his guilt and said his predica-
ment was the result OF drink. Stricken
was bound over to the grand jury by
a United States commissioner and Is in
custody. II an Indictment is returned
by the grand jury the case will be tried
at Helena
1t is said the case Of the failure Of

$50 sick Spanish soldiers. Tuesday Cap
tain Arlegui OF h civil guard at Bay
amo was seriously stabbed by some
persons unknown. IL Is thought he VIII

ers. The officials at Bayamo prompt
ly made several arrests. including a
prominent physician. DR.. 81. Hall. Cap
tain Arlegui and ST. Hall have long
been bitter personal enemies. The pris-
oner Is a strong anti-Spanish sympa-
thizer. He had to leave the island dur
ing h war, and but recently returned.
When he was arrested he was on the
sick bed. from which he was removed
TO the Jail. Popular opinion acquits
him OF any connection with the stab
bling. Trouble Of this character las
been feared for some time at Bayamo.
A Spanish resident recently asked for
American protection. General Brooke
replied that IL was impossible to fur
nish this until the spaniards a a
uated the island, and that in the mean
time the Spaniards must look to the
Spanish authorities for protection.
The Bayamo occurrence increases the
apprehension among the S~paniards at
San Juan. where there a been SINH
lar Incidents during the last few days.
1nefe Is a TumOr tndt Olu scores VIII
be settled by the islanders. and anony-
nous hand bills are circulated all to the
same tenor. Nevertheless. IL there Is
no interval OF u~nprotectedness between
the Spanish evacuation n the Ameri-
can occupation Of San Juan serious dis
orders are not likely to occur here.
The United States postal authorities
now at Rios Piedras will be ready to
establish an office here at the earliest
opportunity.

brigade. the 10th Pennsylvania n 3rd
Wisconsin at Cayey, ave received or
ders to proceed to Ponce on Friday
next. 1t will take four days to maxi
the trip. At Ponce they will embark
for the United States. arriving between
the goth and 18th. Since the cessation
of hostilities, the large percentage of
sickness among the regiments has been
largely due to the inactivity and lack
of interest. with severe guard and pa
troll duty. The men are overjoyed at
the prospect of returning to the Unit
ed States.
Seven or eight old mortars. formerly
on the city Notifications. were sold by
the Spanish authorities and removed
Ia the lock for shipment. The Ameri-
can commission objected to the removal
and the sale was declared off. The
mortars viii be replaced. 1t is said hat
Captain General Macias, who has serv-
ed Spain long and faithfully and has
never known defeat or surrender, will
leave the island before the formal de-
livery to the American government.
The feeling which prompts this resolu-
ton is fully appreciated by Ameri-
ans here.

The school trustees regarded the
amount as exorbitant and declined to
pay his bill. Numerous attemps were
made to effect a settlement and C~ontrac-
tor Soss at one time offered to compro-
mise. but he still demanded more than
the board was willing to pay. and some
months ago he begun suit In the Unit
ed States court for the FUN amoun OF
his claim. The case went TO trial a week
ago to-day and was given TO the jury
last evening. IL tool the jury an hour
and a half to settle the case which had
consumed just a week in trial.
At the opening OF court yesterday
morning Architect w. A. O'Brien. who
was supervising architect for the school
trustees. vas recalled for further cross
examination and questioned relative to
his notice to Contractor Soss TO do GER
tain work. Nothing not already testf-
fed TO was elected from the witness.
however. and counsel for the plaintiff
called Edmund H.. Francis. who was
foreman for Soss. In rebuttal. His tes-
timony was confined 10 n denial of Mr..
O'Brlen's statements relative to work
done on the cornice OF the building,
wherein Mr.. O'Brien claimed II took but

Cotter then opened the argument. Dur
ing his remarks he paid his respects to
Supervising Architect O'Brien. whom he
characterized as a good man. but
thought he had shown himself rather
and that II he could have
had his way he would have compelled
Soss to tear down the building and
make him build IL over.
Attorneys Connolly and Mediation fol-
lowed for the defendants, and each took
to go after Contractor Soss In
pretty caustic language for his manner
of teetifying while on the stand, char
his frequent replies that he
did not remember when replying to
questions OF counsel for defendants as a
series of contradictions, evasions n
c~ontortions."
Attorney Cotter closed the argument
and at $50 the case was given to the
Jury which, as stated, returned a YER
