CONSPIRACY TO MURDER.
Startling Facts Brought Out In a
New Mexico Trial

Hillsboro, y. NJ, June 4.-Captain
George NJ. Curry, former sheriff of Lin
coin county, has arrived and disclosed
information that has been heretofore
we'll guarded concerning a conspiracy to
commit four murders. one of them being
that of Colonel Fountain. He does not
implicate Lee and Gilliland. who are now
being tried for the murder of Colonel
Fountain and his son, but simply said
If the court will admit my evidence. I
can tell who planned the killing and who
vainly lay in wait for Colonel Fountain
once before he was killed.
Slick Miller. one of my former pris-
oners who was pardoned out of the peni
tentiary by Governor Thornton, made a
confession to me which / have kept Sc
cret. having no occasion to diyulge it
until now. There were three men in the
plot, and all had been indicted for steal
ing cattle. l had been instrumental in
some of the cases, and they agreed to
put me out of the way. too. James H.
Cree of the V. V. Cattle company, large
syndicate. was to be killed. | told him
quietly what i knew. and he fearing he
would yet be murdered. returned to Scott

active in prosecuting the cattle thieves.

Fountain who was then attorney for the
Southeastern Mexican Cattle company

ana the other two conspirators carried
out but a part of their agreement"
Curry said that Miller told him that the
bodies of Colonel Fountain and his son
are buried in the white sands near the
Sacramento mountains. A thorough
search of these sands failed to disclose
ing nature of the soil has buried them too
deep.

SCHLEY LEAVES CHICAGO.
Luncheon Given Him By Prominent
Men Yesterday.

Chicago. June 4.-Rear Admiral Schlev
left for New York this afternoon. accom-
panied by Mrs. Schley. n crowd assem-
bled at the station. in anticipation of his
departure, and committees from the Ham
ilton club Union League and Loyal Le-
gion were on hand to say goodbye.
The last public function rendered the
admiral was a luncheon at the Union
League at noon. John S. Miller. president
of the club. presided. and among those
present were Congressman David b. Hen
derson of Iowa and James r. Mann,
Postmaster Charles L. Gordon and Cen
eral NJ V. Sheridan. The admiralS re-
sponse to President Millers Introduction
was reminiscent of the late war. and in
opening he made remark commendatory
of the administration conduct of the
war: THE man who makes no mistakes
makes no war" 1t was the signal for
much cheering.
His speech was substantially along the
same lines as that delivered at the Ham,
ilton club last night.
When Admiral Schley finished. Presi-
dent Miller introduced Congressman Hen
derson as the next speaker of the ho-se
of representatives. Colonel Henderson's
only reference to his campaign for the
speakership was the remark that when
summoned to the luncheon he was an
swering some gratifying kilograms he
had received during the morning.

PAYNE GIVES 1T UP.
Says Henderson. Is Sure to Be the
Man.

New York, June 4.-When New York's
congressional delegation meets in eau
Gus here Tuesday it is almost certain
that it will declare for General Hender-
son of Iowa for speaker
Congressman Serene Payne of Au-
burn. who is looked upon as one Of
Senator Platt's closest political and
personal friends. after talk with Mr..
Platt today, said:
"2eports from delegations that have
publicly avowed themselves in favor of
Henderson for speaker, indicate that
his nomination is assured. l have been
in touch with the members of different
delegations who have been reported to
be for him, and all my information con-
firms the published reports.
Il believe that Henderson will be the
next speaker. 1t has reached the point
now where, if we were to go into eau
GUS Ishould have no hesitation in ris-
ing and moving to make his nomina-
ton unanimous.
Il believe that is what the New
York delegation ought to do when it
meets next Tuesday"
Congressman Payne had made ar
rangements. before Mr.. Reeds retire
ment was announced, to visit Alaska
this summer in company with Con-
gressmen Dalzell. Steel, Hale and Heat
wole and their families. When it was
learned that Mr.. Reed would not be
candidate for the speakership again.
Mr.. Payne called the jaunt off and
started in to land it for himself Now
he has decided to go to Alaska, and
will join the other members of the
party Tuesday morning, and conse-
quently will not be present at the
meeting.

Train Robbers Cannot Escape the
Sheriff's Posse.
Especial to The Herald.l

Especial to The Herald.)
Cheyenne, Wyo.. June 4.-Indications
now point TO the speedy capture of at
least three of the daring men who
dynamited and robbed the Union Pa
cific mail and express train near ROCK
Creek station Friday morning. A large
posse, under Detective Whallen of the
Union Pacific secret service, which left
the scene of the holdup Friday night,
has located three of the robbers. who
are headed for the "Hole-in-the-W Wall
The trail was followed from the place
of the robbery for distance of forty
five miles, across the Laramie to
point about twenty miles south of
Glenrock, where it was lost in a
stream. The posse went on to Casper
and started out with fresh horses. Be
fore travelling five miles. a sheep
herder was met who stated that he had
seen three of the train robbers. They
were heading for the ''Hole-in-the-
Wall country, and had compelled the
herder to prepare breakfast for them.
At the conclusion of the meal. one of
the robbers pointed a Winchester at
the herder and told him to git
The news being brought to Casper,
another posse was formed by the Sher-
ifs of Converse and Natrona counties
and the trail again taken up. Tie Of
ficers are less than three hours behind
fresh horses, capture of the robbers is
almost certain. The robbers, before
they can reach their rendezvous in the
"Hole-in-t the Wall" must cross the
Platte river which is now a raging tor
rent and can be crossed by bridge only.
1t is expected a battle will take place
before many hours have passed.

SICKNESS AND DISTRESS.
To Be Found On All Sides Among
Alaska Prospectors.

Port Townsend. Wash, June 4-Further
confirmation of the death and distress on
the Edmonton trail was brought here to-
night by j. F. Storey of Ontario, a pas
senger on the steamer Dirago. Storey,
with three others started for Dawson
seventeen months ago over the Edmonton
route but were unable to get through. He
says there is a section of country between
Peace river and Nelson that was never
Travelled by a white man or Indian.
The country is one continuation of
swamps and sloughs For weeks he and
his companions slept in clothes and
blankets saturated with water. The
twenty-one head of horses with which
they started died and they were COM
PEELED to retrace their steps. At Lizard
river they found thirty men suffering
from frost bites and scurvy. Some had
turned black as far up as their thighs. At
every camp they found sickness and dis
tress. They gave out their provisions I'M
til they ran short themselves. For six
weeks they lived on rabbits which they
shared.
On reaching Telegraph creek Storey re-
ported the situa tion to the magistrate
who at once started a relief expedition.
He says the number of people who have
perished on the trail will never be known.

SAILS ON A LONELY VOYAGE
CAPTAIN FREITSCH TO MAKE
TOUR OF THE WORLD.
Leaves San Francisco In a Little
Boat For Manila-His Only Com
panion Is a Cat.

San Francisco, June 4.-The little
schooner rugged boat Coke, about thirty
feet long and of only five tons measure
ment sailed for Manila today. Captain
Freitsch. the sole occupant of the vessel
proposes to make a tour of the world in
The apparently frail cockle-shell which
he constructed with his own hands. He
claims TO have crossed the Atlantic in a
vessel of even smaller dimensions. His
only companion on his long and perilous
voyage Will be a cat to which he is much
attached and which he calls his mascot,
as itshas been with him before on long
and lonely cruises.
The Coke is a thorough sea-going craft
of her kind and her venturesome skipper
does not anticipate any trouble in making
the trip. He sailed from the Mission
street wharf and was heartily cheered by
a large crowd of interested spectators.
The Coke was watched from the shore
until she disappeared through the Golden
Gate.
Captain Freitsch is known as a skillful
and daring navigator, and seamen here
are inclined to believe that he will sue
coed IN n-circumnayigating the globe, not
withstanding maRy predictions TO the con-
trarN.

Manila, June 4.-The position of the
American troops tonight indicates that
they will tomorrow sweep the penin-

All the revisionist papers acclaim the
decision as the triumph of truth, JUS

British Columbia Miners Object, and

ten hours. Some OF the mines said to
have shut down because of trouble,
have merely closed as usual at this sea

more in proportion to hours worked in an

country; neither do L think good miners
will work for less
