sum of 5000 demanded by the rail
road companies for n free train to car
ry the First Nebraska home from San
Francisco had been raised and the
regiment would start next week as
soon as the muster-out is completed.
d. e. Thompson called upon him to-
day and offered to advance $4,000
for the purpose on condition that he
be reimbursed at the next regular ses-
sion of the Legislature. The public
subscription has reached $4,000, and
another gentleman has volunteered
5000, making the sum required.
Earlier in the day the governor was
advised by number of influential cit
izens and newspapers of the state to
threaten a special session to retaliate
upon the roads and appropriate the
needed sum to take up n note that
was to be executed to raise the money
at once, but its consideration was in
definitely postponed when the other Of

San Francisco, CAL, Aug. 19.-The
following Round Robin was signed by
Colorado people here tonight:
To the People Of Colorado:
The Colorado volunteers were ap-
prised upon their arrival at this port Of
the effort their friends were making to
secure a free train for their transpor-
tat1on homeward. This encouraged
them greatly, for 1t gave them the as
surance that their pay and mileage
could be utilized on their return for
their own and the support of their
families while seeking employment
Many Of them may find their little
store exhausted before permanent posi-
lions are secured and their anxiety for
definite Information as to what they
may expect from the people of their
state is but natural.
The news from Nebraska has de-
pressed them. We are giving them all
the encouragement we can, and most
earnestly ask the good people at home
to do for our boys what every state,
save one, has done. Having begun the
good work, It would be a reproach to
the fair name Of our commonwealth II
1t should result in failure, anG prove
an inexpressible disappointment to one
of the most gallant regiments that ever
fought under the flag of the republic.
We appeal to your generosity, your
patriotism. and your sense of Justice In
their behalf The regiment will be
mustered out on the 7th proximo.
Whatever we do must be, therefore,
done at once. Signed by Charles s.

Guaymas, Mexico, Nov. 9.-The
Yaqui Indians have killed Nettleton,
an American, and carried q German
into captivity. They have renewed
hostilities in the lower Yaqui valley,
and the people in the river towns in

A special courier arrived today with
intelligence of the terrible fight be-
tween Nettleton, the American, and
Rossisck, the German, and Indians at
Cajam hacienda, near Bacum, last Sat-
uSday night. The two men were over
seers of the property. At the begin
ming of the attack, shortly before day
light, they made brave defense, and
used their arms effectively, but the
doors of the house were battered down,
and in the hand-to-hand battle that en-
sued, Netleton was shot and dubbed to
death. Rossisck. although wounded,
was spared. After taking all the pro-
visions in sight and their prisoner, the
Indians withdrew to the south side of
the river.

Somewhat Irregular.

Washington, Nov. 6.-Moran Broth
ers, of Seattle, shipbuilders, have sub
mitted to the navy department another
bid to take the place of that submitted
last Wednesday for the construction OF
a S,500-ton cruiser. The firm does
this on the theory that congress in
tended at least two of six vessels should
be constructed on the Pacific coast,
and as the Union iron works at San
Francisco, the only other bidder on the
slope, bid for only one of the ships, the
Seattle firm feels that if it reduces ite
original bid to the same figures as that
of the San Francisco corporation, il
should have it considered on even
terms.
The proposition being irregular, ii
has been referred to the board of con.
struction and the general opinion is
that it cannot be entertained.
