INDIANS ARE IN UGLY MOOD.
DEMAND THAT OLSEN MUST BE
DEALT WITH SEVERELY.
Mountain sheep Not Killed Though
Desperately Wounded = White
River Murderer Defies Arrest.
Especial to The Herale.o

Nernal, Utah, Nov. 13.-Sheriff Preece
returned from the Indian reservation
last night and reports that matters are
quieting down. A detail of troops has
been sent to protect the sheepherders
until they can get their fiocks off the
reservation, which ii is now deemed
advisable for them to do, as the In
dams are in no pleasant frame of
mind.
Sheriff Preece accompanied the SOL
diers to the scene of the shooting where
Mountain Sheep was found not dead, as
had been supposed, but desperately
wounded. He was surrounded by twen-
ty or thirty members of his tribe.
Sheriff Preece believes that it was very
fortunate that the Indian was not
killed. as the consequences would have
been serious without question The In
dams demand that Olsen shall lbe Sc
verely dealt with. A number of the
tribe have openly declared that
he shall not leave the reservation
until his punishment is guaranteed.
The Indian police who were sent to
arrest the slayer of Mattooson, the
White River. have returned without
capturing the murderer, who defies ar
rest. A squad of troops will be sent
after the fugitive.

Denver, Colo, Nov. 13.-Game War
den Lee is organizing posse here to
expef from Colorado several hundred
Indians who are encamped at the head
waters of Yellow creek. between Pr
canoe and Douglas creeks, and are en-
gagged in killing deer. The settlers are

avenge upon them the killing of sew
eral Indians by Game Warden Wilcox
and a posse two years ago.
Governor Thomas has called on the
sheriffs of five counties in northwest
ern Colorado to aid the game warden in
enforcing the laws. There are probably
100 of the old Colorow Utes engaged

Uncompahgres and Uintahs. These are
supposed to belong at the White Rocks
agency.

REMOVED FROM OFFICE
CHARGES AGAINST NORTH CAROLINA
RAILWAY COMMISSIONERS.
Earnings of 200 Roads for 1s0S-Grain
Men Paying Full Rates First Time
in Five Years.

Governor Russell yesterday sent to the
General Assembly Of North Carolina a spe-
ciaI message, setting forth his reasons for
suspending from Office Railroad Commits
sioners j. W. Wilson and S. Ohio Wilson.
He charges in the message that both men
were interested in the operation and profits
of the Southern Railway and were thereby
disqualified under the law to act as fair
and impartial judges. Specifying the groI nds
on which he bases these conclusions, the
Governor sets forth that J. w. Wilson was
mortgaged to A. b. Andrews, vice president
of the Southern Railway, in the sum of
$780, which he is unable to pay; that An
drews and Wilson are joint owners of the
Round Knob Hotel, near Asheville, which
hotel is dependent upon the railroad for its
patronage. This hotel, the Governor says,
was rented by A. B. Andrews and j. w.
Wilson TO the other railroad commissioner,
S. Ohio Wilson, for a term of five years,
and in consideration of his taking this
lease the Southern Railway through An
drews, contracted to transport Wilson and
his family free of charge and deadhead for
him all freight and all provisions and sup
plies. It is recommended that the Legtsla-
ture appoint commission to take evidence
and Investigate the charges.

OHIO LAW INVALID.
Sheriffs Appointed for an Interim
Ousted by supreme Court.

COLUMBUS, o.. Jan. 1.-THE Ohio SUI
preme Court to-day declared unconstitu-
tional the law changing the time of COM
mencement of term of sheriffs from January
to September on the ground that the Legis-
lature has no power to provide an interval
between the term of a sheriff and the one
elected to succeed him. The decision affirms
the title of the duly elected sheriffs GUST
ing all appointees for the interim.
There were four cases Two were in quo
warranto by the attorney general. One was
from Mercer county, where George H. Heff-
ner, who had just concluded his second con-
tinuous term as sheriff, sought to hold over
until September. The second was from
Perry county where the sheriff. J. G. STALL
smith, reelected at the last election, had
entered upon his second term as the duly
elected sheriff. A third case was from
Cuyahoga county, where Frederick Saal
who had been appointed by the County Com
missioners, sought the office as against the
duly elected sheriff Chico. f. McCammell.)
The other from Delaware county, was
quo warranto by one William A. Kelly to
GUST one Charles Thrall. Kelly was ap-
pointed for the eight months by the Court
of Common Pleas. and Thrall for a like time
by the County Commissioners. 1t is stated
that the decision does not bear on the legal
ity of the appointment of coroners and in
Urinary directors.
