ing. The one objection made by Sher-
man of New York was sufficient to
throw out the bill.
1t had been anticipated here that the
failure to carry out McLaughlin's prom
ise would cause trouble early in the
spring, but there have been no more
disturbances than usual occasioned by
the young men who are restless and
ambitious, while the older men are
counselng peace and obedience to the
great father Through mistaken ideas
on the part of friends of these Indians,
for years past it has been represented
that they are nearly self-supporting on
this land. In consequence of such rep
reservations the government has only
appropriated for them half rations. The
alternative has been that they must i'll
certain seasons either starve or kill the
White mems cattle. In a country
abounding in range cattle to an extent
as great as the buffalo ever roamed the
problem of subsistence has been an
easy one to the Indians. The only eau
tion to be observed was to evade de-
lection when killing range steers. While
the white owners of range cattle do not
blame the Indians for killing a steer
when hungry, they do object to cattle
being slain in quantities often enor-
nous and the present antagonism is
the consequence. The loss to each
cWner from Indian slaughter exceeds
the loss from wolves, storms and all
other causes combined. So the failure
of the Indian department to fully pro-
vide for the care of the Indians has
been the main cause of the friction be-
tween the Indians and the settlers
which yearly grows more acute and
which must under present conditions
result before many more years in
bloodshed and massacre.
The present trouble began with the
killing of a steer. The immediate per-
petrators We're arrested and brought to
Miles City a few days ago. But some
others have resisted the attempts of the
Indian police to arrest them, though it
is not known that they have as yet re-
sisted the United States authorities.
These rebellious Indians are now in hid
ing. Agent Clifford deemed it prudent
to have help and so 80 regulars We're
sent to the reservation from here two
days ago. No news of further trouble
has arrived since that time.

USED DYNAMITE.
Clerks Forced to Open the Doors to Save
Their Lives

Salt Lake, Utah. June "A special
to the Tribune from Ogden, Utah,
says:
wv. G. Bruce. one of the mail clerks
on the train that was robbed in Wyom-
ing. came into Ogden tonight. He
said when the train was stopped the
robbers came to his car and ordered
MIN to open the door. When he re-
fused to open the door the robbers be-
gan shooting into the car from both
sides. When the shooting commenced
Bruce turned out the lights in the car.
Then a stick of dynamite was placed
under the door and it was shattered
The clerks, fearing the car would be
blown to pieces, opened the door One
of the robbers stuck his gun into the
car and fired, but the bullet did no
damage. The lights were then turned
on and the clerks got out of the car.
The clerks in the Portland mail car
were also ordered out and the party
of clerks and trainmen were stood up
IN a line and guarded by one man.
demand was then made of Ernest
Woodcock, the express messenger, to
open his car, but he refused. A couple
of shots We're then fired into the car
and the door blown off. The train was
moved backward and forward, before
the two passenger coaches were de-
tached Part of the robbers went to
the bridge back of the train and at
tempted to blow it up, but did not sue
ceed. The express and mail cars ware
run down the track mile or two to
the camp of the robbers. There the
trainmen were placed about $50 feet
from the track and about 20 sticks of
dynamite were exploded on top of the
safe in the express car. The explosion
completely wrecked the car and split
the safe wide open. Five of the rob
herS carried away two loads each from
the safe and must have secured large
amount of nlunder
When the robbery was complete, the
robbers walked up the hill north and
disappeared in the darkness. Two hours
were consumed in the robbery.

HOPKINS WIlHDRAWS.
The Illinois Delegation Will Vote for
Henderson, of Iowa.

"
Chicago, June mime of the IA con-
gressmen in the Illinois delegation were
present at a general roundup meeting
held in the Grand Pacific hotel this
morning. After four hours discussion
behind closed doors it was decided to
withdraw Mr.. Hopkins name and sup
port Colonel Henderson. The confer
ence was perfectly harmonious Mr..
Hopkins made the following statement:
Il have had a full conference with
the Illinois republican delegation in
congress to-day and the situation of the
speakership contest was fully discussed,
including the action of our neighboring
states in declaring for Colonel Hender-
son of Iowa.
MY colleagues and I recognize the
great responsibility devolving upon the
Fifty-slXth congress and the necessity
for perfect harmony in the republican
party. To further prolong my candi-
dacy, whether successful or unsuccess-
full, it is thought, might result in the
embarrassment of the successful candi-
date in the proper administration of his
great office.
Believing, as l do, that my retire
ment from the speakership race at this
time will simplify the situation and
conduce to harmony in the party with
consequent best results to the whole
country, I have, with the approval of
the entire delegation, decided to with
draw from the speakership contest.
After my withdrawal and further
conference by the delegation I decided
to support Colonel Hendersons can
didacy for the speakership, in which
action I freely concur.
My withdrawal and the subsequent
action of the Illinois delegation were
had without any consultation with
Colonel Henderson or any of his sup
porters and without his or their knowl-
edge"
At the conclusion of the conference,
Mr.. Hopkins sent the following tele-
gram to Colonel Henderson at Du-
buque, Iowa:
Il have decided to withdraw from
the speakership contest and this dele
cation has resolved to support your
candidacy. I wish every success to

Train Robbers Make a Haul of $4,000
in Wyoming


Omaha, Neb.. June 2.-Later advices
from the scene Of the train robbery at
Wilcox. Wyo., say that as the train
reached the bridge one of the robbers
craWled into the cab, and at the point
of a gun, ordered Engineer Jones TO
pull across the bridge and stop. Mean
while the others of the gang were at
work in the express car. Just as the
engine pulled off the bridge there was
a tremendous explosion that scattered
the express car for hundred feet in
every direction. The end of the mail
car was blown in and several stringers
knocked out of the bridge. Engineer
Jones was injured by the flying deb
ris.
1t only required a few minutes for the
robbers to rifle the safe, which was
blown open by the explosion. They took
it's contents. signaled their confederate
on the engine and before the passengers
and the train crew We're aware of just
what had happened, were off for the

clear the wreck away so that the train
could proceed to Medicine Bow, the
next station from which the report was
sent The sheriff was notified and with
a posse started in pursuit of the rob-
bers. The soft ground caused by the
rain will aid in tracking the robbers. 1t
is not positively known just how many
there are in the party, but as only four

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Helena, June 2.-Napoleon La Ponte,
a saloon keeper at the East Pacific
mine, near Winston, Broadwater
county, was murdered last night,
dragged about 100 yards from his sa-
loon and left lying on the ground,
where he was found several hours
afterwards. Blood on the floor and
walls of the saloon indicated there had
been a desperate fight Pick handles
were the weapons used, the mans head
being frightfully mangled. There was
trail of blood from the saloon to the
spot where his dead body was found
His watch and some of his money, sew
eral dollars in cash, had fallen from his
pockets as he was dragged from the
saloon, and these were found alongside
the trail of blood
From what can be learned from par
ties in from Winston tonight, the
murder is supposed to be the culmina-
tion of drunken row that started dur
ing the afternoon, in which another
saloon keeper by the name of Emmett
and man by the name of Charlie
Oldam were implicated, along with the
deceased. The story is that all three
had been drinking heavily and had a
difficulty in Emmett's place. situated a
short distance below La Pontes Later
the fight was resumed in La Ponte's
with fatal results. Emmett and Oldam
have been arrested and taken to Town
send. At last accounts the coroner had
not held an inquest.
The dead man was a Frenchman
about 35 or 40, and had been running
the saloon nearly year. So far as
known he has no family.

Kamloops, B. c., June 2.-Promptly at s
o'clock this morning Casimir, the Indian
murderer of Philip Walker, mounted the
gallows with hangman Radcliffe and his
spiritual adviser, Father Lejeune. He
was composed and smiling, nodded pleas
antly to the sheriff and walked with a
firm step unassisted up the gallows steps
He, maintained the same stold Indifference
on the scaffold he has shown since his ar
rest and which was so noticeable during
his trial. Before being led out to eXecu-
ton he said:
Il am no squaw and will die like a
man"
Before the. black cap was adjusted he
shook hands warmly with the executoner
and turning to those assembled in the Jail
yard, said;
Gentlemen, 1 bid you all goodbye"
The cap and moose We're then quickly
adjusted and, stepping back. the hang
man pulled the lever and casimir dropped
into space. The fall of eight feet broke
his neck. In seven minutes the attend

longed and a few press representatives.
Contrary to expectation. there was no
demonstration made by Casimir's tribes

The friends of the doomed man called at
the Jail yesterday and bid him a sorrow,
full farewell. Casimir seemed fully re-
pentant and exhorted his tribesmen to
lead good lives.
