The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1899-07-12

COLONEL E. r. COOPER, whose
term in the Trenton jail did not ex-
pire until next month, died sudden
n IN jail on Tuesday night. Efforts
were being made By his friends to
Rave President Mckinley pardon
him, but death did what it is very
Aou6tfufif the President would have
done for him. He was 50 years Of
aFe and one Of the best known men
III the State, being politician and
i Democrat. He has held numer-
Gus Offices under the party Of his
choice and was considered one OF
the most important workers in his
bafty IN. Kent county. His motto
was "the end justifes the means"
and he always took care that the
Democrats received all the help he
could possibly give them on election
day. He foofishly spentmoney that
did not belong to him, which was
kindly loaned to him by Cashier
Boggs. and, being found guilty of
the charge a little oyer year ago
in the United States Court, he was
sentenced to Trenton Jail and that
IL the reason he died in prison. The
question has been asked did Colonel
Cooper take his life?

CHEF DoLAN is to be congratu-
lated on the retention of his sense
OF dscernment as he is satisfied
that gambling was practiced at the
Waw asset track during the recent
races, although the detectives and
some half dozen OF the police who
were present, failedto see anything
OF the kind. He should see that
each Of the said officers is provided
with nice pair Of leather specta-
cles at the next matinee or some
other instrument to enable them to
find out what is going on. A SINH
lar exhibition of the sleight of hand
will not be allowed at the next trial
of speed. The chief says that the
managers will do well to change
their tactics or they may eventually
find that the way Of the transgress-
or is hard. The chief is in earnest
about the matter and those who
dance will have to pay the piper.

JOE LOGAN DEAD.
Well Known Cowboy Passess Away
Alone at His Ranch.

A Well Known Cowboy Passess Away
.,. Alone at His Ranch.
e Coroner Townsend and Sheriff Hub
bard received telegram Tuesday night
from Junction stating that Joe Logan,
well.known cowboy of the Mussel-
she'll, had been found dead and that
murder was limited at. The officials
left the next morning for junction, but
upon their arrival there they learned
that their presence was not needed as
the Justice of the peace of the Mussel-
shell district had inquired into the par
ticulars and found that Logan had died
a natural death and the body was then
buried.
just week ago today Logan, who
is one of the best known and oldest
cowboys in Montana and has OF late
had charge Of Ryan Bros. horses, was
found dead in his cabin. It was known
to his acquaintance that he had been
drinking hard lately and it was sup
posed that his debauch caused his
death. There were no marks on his
body or any disturbance in the house
to lead one to believe he had met with
foul play in any manner.

BOOM IN WOOL.
Activity of Wool Market Sustained Dur
ing the Week.

Activity of Wool Market Sustained Dur
ing the Week.
The Boston American Wool and Cot
ton Reporter Of Wednesday says of the
wool trade: "The strength and activity
previously noted in the wool market
has been we'll sustained during the
week under review, and in some re-
spects the movement partakes of the
characteristics Of veritable boom. It
is not as yet, however, manufacturers
market, although consumers have been
little more in evidence than previous
ly. The greater portion of the business
done consists of purchases by dealers
themselves, although as rule, where
manufacturers have bought they have
been obliged to pay higher prices. or
they have not succeeded in getting the
wool. A number of dealers are not
Offering their wool and are practically
out of the market. The advance in the
price of territory wool in this market
has resulted in checking the export
movement, and the few remaining lots
of Australian wool in bond, owned by
dealers, are held at higher figures than
foreign buyers will pay.
"The sales of the week at Boston
amount to 6,031, 900 pounds domestic
and $4,000 pounds foreign, making a
total Of 6,6s0,OO0 pounds. against
total Of 1915. 500 for the previous
week and total Of 2.34O.OOO for the
corresponding week last year. Sales
since Jan. l. 1899, amount to SO, 291,-
800 pounds. against 4S, 348,s1O pounds
last year at this time.''

FALSE REPORT.
Cheyenne Indians Are Ugly, But No Dep
relations Have lseen Committed

Cheyenne Indians Are Ugly, But No Dep
relations Have Been Committed.
| The report reached this city Wednes.
day that the Cheyenne Indians had
started depredations in the Tongue
river country by burning. three ranch
houses and ousbuildings, the news be.
ing brought by a gentleman who had
heard it at Forsyth. F. H. Benjamin
who is solicitor for the Helena Inde.
pendent, and has ranch in that vicin-
ity, was in Billings and became
alarmed for the safety of his family,
and telegraphed to Forsyth to learn if
there was any truth in the report. He
received an answer late in the after
noon that there was no danger from the
Indians and that the report was untrue.
A special of Tuesday to tho st. Paul
Dispatch from Rosebud, Montana, says
''The most serious trouble, however,
is apprehended over an attempted as
sault made last week by Cheyenne
brave, and which will result in a
lynching bee if he is caught. The
daughter of ranchnan named Han
son, while riding along, met an Indian,
who dragged her from her horse in a
desperate attempt to ravish her. She
bit one Of his fingers during the strug-
gle, which only served to further en-
rage him. Fortunately, however, a
cowboy was attracted by her cries, and
the Indian. upon seeing the approach
of assistance, took to the hills He has
not since been seen
"But few troops are now in the state,
and an appeal for more will be made to
Washington. Last Wednesday a band
of Indians approached farm house oc-
cupied by Mrs. Lorraine and her little
son. They frightened her out of her
wits, and with her little son she fed
to the nearest neighbor s, where she
fell PROSTATE to the floor, uttering the
single word, fire. Investigation
proved that the Indians had deliberate
" and wantonly fred haystack val
ued at $500. The feeling against the
Indians is intense, and if their deviltry
continues will result in loss of life, as
the settlers feel the issue must be made
for supremacy sooner or later, and if
the government does not protect them
they will be compelled to take the law
into their own hands.

ADMIRAL sCHLEY IN THE WEST.

Received Perfect Ovation in Omaha
May Visit National Park.
There can be no mistaking the hearty
welcome accorded to Admiral Schley by
the people Of the west. Though the trip
was taken for a well-deserved vacation
it has been transformed into something
of triumphal procession. Between
Washington and Chicago innumerable
delegations invited the gallant admiral
to stop off to visit their respective
towns, while nearly every city, village
and hamlet along the Burlington route
from Chicago to Denver requested the
pleasure Of entertaining him. The
only place where he made visit of any
duration was at Omaha. There he re-
mained a week, the guest Of Charles F.
Manderson, general solicitor of the Bur-
lington railroad. While in Omaha he
received marked attention, the public
and the private receptions given in his
honor being the greatest ovations wit
messed there since President McKin-
ley's visit last year. May 25 was spent
in Denver and today in Colorado
Springs. Then the itinerary of the
party includes trip to Salt Lake City
over the Denver & Rio Grande road.
spending May % at the Utah capital
and returning from there to Omaha.
It is reported that Admiral schley may
visit the National park, in which
event he will come to Billings OIL the

About 100. 900 pounds of last years

this state this year will be from Is to
l6 cents per pound, allowing ~ cents
per pound for shipping to Boston and
for commission.
Ex-senator Power, president of the
state sheep commission, when asked
what he thought of the Boston sale as
an index Of this years prices, said be
thought it augured we'll for the Mon
tana sheepmen.
"I believe" said he, that if the
staple is as good as it was last year that
the price will be about as good" He
thinks that about Is cents will be the
average price, although it may be a
shade better, as he says, upon the quail.

Gently because Of the 30 per cent ad
