Negro Soldiers Accused or Beating

four Tonto Indians on the night of
October Is at the San Carlos Indian
agency. had a preliminary hearing yes
terday before United States Court
Commissioner Charles T. Martin. The
testimony of the Indian witnesses was
unimportant they being unable to
identify the prisoners. The sworn
statements of the defendants them
selves were damaging and showing
probable guilt sufficient to justify the
action of Commissioner Martin, who
held the defendants each under $500
hail to appear before the United
States grand jury. The prisoners will
be taken to Florence tomorrow, where
the United States court of the Second
judicial district meets November 20.
The Indian policeman whose skull
was fractured by a blow dealt by
George Young, a soldier, is still in a
precarious condition. There is no ex-
citement among the Indians at San
Carlos and yesterdays proceedings in
dicating punishment of the offenders,
will have a salutary effect.

To a reporter today Commissioner
Evans said:
''Of course, I paid some attention to
politics While I was away and had a
good opportunity to feel the pulse of
the people along my route to California.
They have little time for politics in the
west. Everybody is busy, and the very
air is charged with prosperity. 1 do not
believe this country ever knew such an
era of good times and contentmept, and
along my route I saw every evidence of
practical prosperity. Thousands of
new mills are going up, and in Penn
sylvania around Pittsburg the new
buildings are springing up like mush-
rooms. The Pacific slope is bristling
with activity and California is the bust
est state in the union today. Every
body out there is an expansionist. They
realize what it means to open up new
markets for their products and under

rates to the far east in comparison to
those in our own country. There is
plenty of money out there and the
farmers are in a better condition than
ever before. Big wheat and corn crops.

been largely responsible for this con-
dition. On every hand 1 heard nothing

THE CAPE FLEET.
It Can Send / 800 Well Drilled Men to
Aid the Army.

| London, Oct 22.-The British Cape
fleet, although not likely to have a
chance to try its broadsides upon the
Beers, may, after all, be an important
adjunct in holding the enemy at bay
until Sir Redvers Butler arrives and is
ready to assume the offensive 1t con-
sists of fourteen vessels II all. includ-
ing two armorclads. eight cruisers and
four gunboats. The armored vessels
and cruisers are as follows:
The third-class battleship Alexandra
of $3.50 tons, with crew of 59S men;
the coast defense ironcIad Penelope of
40 tons, with 265 men; the second
class cruisers Doris of $500 tons, with
40 men, and Fox of 1850 tons, with
312 men; the third-class cruisers &!a-
gicfenne of 1850 tons, with a crew of
21S men ;Philomel and Phoebe, each of
2,575 tons with 217 men; Tartar of 1,11O
tons, with III men, and Barrcouta and
Barrosa, each of 1850 tons and with
crews of 159 men,
The crews of these ten vessels aggre-
gate 3,O95 men. The cruiser Philomel
is at Durham, but most of the other
ships are probably at Sinons Town, the
South African naval station, on False
Bay, about thirty miles south of Cape
Town, with which it is connected by
rail. For some time past, probably in
anticipation of war, landing parties
from the fleet have been drilling on
shore in infantry and light artillery

muskets, field and machine guns could
be sent to the front. Marines and men

sation was created Monday by the
mysterious disappearance of Jennie
Daley, the fourteen-year-old daughter
of Roadmaster Daley of the Northern
Pacific. At first it was thought the
child had walked in her sleep and had
fallen in the James river. The river
was dragged, but no trace of the miss
ing one was secured. Late in the
afternoon a telegram from Valley City
stated that she was at that place.
1t seemed that she had left the
house clad only in a night gown.
Taking with her a suit of her brothers
which she donned, she climbed into a
box car and left for the east. 1t is
believed that she intended to join her
brother who is at work in Minnesota.
He left here without notifying his
parents last spring. The girl was.
recognized by Conductor Dinehart, on
whose train she rode from jamestown

gun that bears his name has returned
to New York from an extended tour
over the south and southwest. He is
now 81 years of age, agile and active,
and told a reporter that he had given
up the making cl5 guns and had turned
his attention toward the imc:ovemer.:
of agricultural machinery.
You see said he, feelings Of hui
manfty had prompted me to invent my
gun. During the civil war [ saw SO
many men diving from exposure and
disease. and the thought struck me
that a gun which could do ths' work of
fifty men would save fo1ty-nine lives.
That is tC say. the gun being 50
much more effectual than a man i
would not be necessary to send 50
many men to Ehe front OF course my
theory proved incorrect, the efficiency
of the gun serving only to increase the
possibilities of an1Ghilating the en-
emy's army in less time.

ter street, was burglarized in open
daylight yesterday afternoon while
the occupants were gone to the camp

the back door of the house, but thay
thought he lived in the house, and took
little notice Of him A woman who
saw him ait closest rang5 says he
looked like a, tramp and she thought
he was stopping for something to eat.
Before coming to this house she saw
him peer into the windows Of another
house near there, but she did nCE sus-
pert he contemplated burglary The
man is described as being an Italian
or Mexican, and he wore ragged
clothes. All the doors and windows
of the house were Locked and the
burglar evidently entered the house
by means of skeIeton key
He took with him the keys which
were in the front doors from .he in
side, probably to guard against sur
prise from a front entrance. He de-
JCbeI1ately ransacked every trunk and
bureau in the house and secured prob
ably 5000 worth of jewelry But he
neglected to look in one apartment
where jewelry of considerable value
was stored away. This chief tcck his
time to the work and only escaped as
MFR. Hough and his family were re-
turning to the house in a buggy. He
went out side door as Mr.. Hough en-
tered a front door, and started north
on Center street. The sheriffs office
was notified, but the rolbber had aE-
pie time to escape before the officers
had time to arrive The woman. who
Thought him to be a tramp could
identify him in oase of his capture.
The second robbery occurred this
eVeCKng when several articles were
taken from the residence of W. L.
P1nney on East Monroe street. Mr.
Plnney is staying there alone, and
when he left the house yesterday
morning he locked every door. He re
turned about 8 O'Clock last night and
found the screen door had been cut
cpen+ The robbers got through this
door onto the porch and climbed
through a transom into the house. A
pistol, two quarts of whisky and a
few other articles were found missing.
The burglars passed over several ar
HcLeS of value. They ransacked ev-
cry drawer in the house, apparently
trying to locate jewelry In this re-
spect the burglary of Mr. Pinney's res
fdence was similar to the several 9TH
ers committed recently. The burg
lars probably had a jollifcation meet
ing over the whisky, because it is not
likely lit was taken, from the house in
amy other receptacle than Their stom-
aehs. Altogether there was a gallon
in the demijohn, which had been
s'ored in the house for sevaral months
And there were no bottles at hand
