Rev. James Sheppard called at
this Office yesterday morning and
requested space for an article in
defense of the Fries Orphans
Home project, which was granted.
The article will appear in the next
issue OF the TRIBUNE. II there is
anything that can be said in extern
uation Of the Fries orphan home
project. we are anxious to learn
what it is. andequite willing to give
it the same publicity as anything
that may be said derogatory to the
enterprise. We still believe, in
common with a majority OF the
citizens OF this community, that
there is no demand for such an in
stitution in La Junta, and that
some Of our citizens are beng mis-
led by inordipate and misguided
zeal to do something for the vel
fare of helpless and dependent
children.
La Junta tribune., 1900-07-04


The inhabitants OF La Junta
should beware OF how they listen
to the fairy tales OF the preachers
from Pueblo in trying to fasten old
Fries upon La Junta with his al
legged "Orphan's Home. The
one he started here in Pueblo came
to sad end, and so will any other
that is foisted upon a community
by Fries, aided and abetted by the
falsihers from Pueblo in the garb
OF preachers. The fact is that not
one-half OF the truth has been told
by the Pueblo papers in regard to
the nest of snakes that was driven
out. All the preachers this side
OF hades cannot make the respect
able people OF Pueblo change their
mind as to the danger OF allowing
the Fries outfit to fasten themselves
upon any community, and La Junta
is duly warned to beware. Don't
listen to the Pueblo preachers.
Any man who defends Fries is just
as bad as he is-if not worse
Pueblo Opinion.

seemed to be to work up channels
through which finances would ulti-
mately flow into his pocket
II the good people of La Junta
permit Fries to start up an orphans
home in their midst, much less to
aid him, they can look out for
another incompetent Secretary
Sheppard, another kimblern and
another horrible affair such as made
Pueblo go wild and ended in the
lynching OF the negro and the spon
taneous invitation to the old wretch
Fries and his wife and secretary TO
quit the town. 1t is an outrage
that steps are being taken in La
Iunta to have Fries establish an
other home, and we trust that yet
in spite of the misguided people
there who are fostering the plan,
and in spite OF the misleading
statements of the trio Of gullible
Pueblo prea chers who are aiding
the project, that the better senti-
ment of the people OF that town
will prevail and that this man who
is indirectly an accessor to the
most horrible crime ever recorded
in the annals OF Pueblo's criminal
history will be told to desist from
his scheme and quit the town

,ut as have heard nothing from

but as l have heard nothing from
it, presume it went to the waste
basket. There was nothing lost
however, for it contained nothing
but facts. and they still remain for
the consideration OF La Junta's
citizens.
1--WE feel that Mr.. Fries was
treated with leniency in being al
lowed to depart in peace. When
| say "we" mean almost the to-
tai population OF this city. | do
not think there are twenty. FIVE
people here who would sanction
his return. We are not all his
enemies, however. do not con-
slider the three ministers who are
pushing him TO the front in order
to protect their position, as his
friends. 1t is not friendly advice
they are giving him and they know
it. II your citizens act promptly
upon information which l believe
you now have, it will be good for
Fries, better for La Junta. and best
for the little children.
La Junta tribune., 1900-07-04

We received three letters from
citizens Of Pueblo yesterday morn
ing relative to the Fries home
rhey are all Of about the same
tenor, and deprecate the fact that
the Fries outfit is receiving encour-
agement from the citizens Of La
Junta. The chairman Of the board
of county commissioners of that
county in letter to the commits
sioners Of this county says:
"There is no doubt in my mind
that any institution that goes all
over the country gathering up chill
dren to be kept by public charity
will sooner or later be dependent
on the county in which it is located,
as there is no responsibility resting
on this man Fries, and at any time
he can leave the county for pas
lures new and leave the care of the
institution in charge of the county.
One of the letters received by
the TRIBUNE is as follows:
81 received copy of your paper
containing article on Fries Home.

the good people of La Junta are
waking to the true situation. !

LOSS OF THE GNElsENAu.
The Loss of Life Not So Heavy as first
Reported, :.

Malaga, Dec. 2o-The body in uni-
form of Captain Krostheim, command
er of the wrecked German training
ship Gneisenau, has been washed
ashore and was buried this afternoon
in the British cemetery This is the
first body recovered on the beach.
Berlin, Dec. 1S.-,The laundering of
the Gneisenau created most painful
impression in Berlin following the ju-
bilant reception rendered the soldiers
and marines from China yesterday
The news spread rapidly through the
city. Great crowds thronged the ad-
miralty ~bullding and the ministry of
marine. inquiding as to the state of
relatives. Many touching scenes We're
witnessed.
Emperor William has received a tele-
gram of coincidence from the Spanish
queen regent.
The latest report shows about 100
lives were lost. The first engineer, the
assistant engineer and number of
petty officers, were drowned.
1t is hoped that the guns, the trea-
sure chest and perhaps part of the hull
will be salvaged.

DUE TO A CABLE ERROR.
Explanation of the Latest Chinese Dis
agreement.

London, Dec. 20.-Mr. Choate, tho
United States ambassador, had a long
conference yesterday afternoon regard
ing Chinese situation with the secre-
tary of state for foreign affairs the
Marquis Of Landsdowne and subse.
United States embassy, paid visit
to the foreign office. The greatest
secrecy is maintained as to the out.
come of those consultations.
Some explanation, however, was
gathered by representative of tho
Associated Press of the extraordinary
tangle in Which the Chinese negotia-
tons have recently been mixed up,
and some reconciliation of the contra
dictory kilograms that have emanated
from Picking and various European
capitals.
1t appears that over a week ago tho
powers come to an agreement to elm
mate the word "irrevocable" from
the joint note. Then when it was be-
lieved that everything had been set
tied, objections We're raised and Great
Britain for the sake of harmony, all
though much against her will, agreed
to reinsert the "irrevocable" clause. In
this, it is believed, she was supported
by the United States.
Once more the joint note seemed on
the verge of signature, when a misun-
Outstanding arose in Picking. This
confused the governments and formed
the subject of the dispatch from Secre-
tar. Hay which Mr.. Choate trans
mitted to the Marquis of Lansdowne
yesterday.
AS result of the interview, Mr..
Choate has sent a long cablegram to
Secretary Hay, In which he attributes
the latest misunderstanding to an err
ror which occurred, presumably,
through the cable company. and which
caused Mr. Conger and Sir Ernest Sa-
tow, the British minister in Picking,
TO take opposite views although their
home governments Were perfectly
agreed.
The United States embassy, while
non-conaittal, hopes that yesterdays
conferences will clear up the muddle
and bring about a signing of the joint
note in Peking Within few DAYS.

CASE OF LlNAs SKINNER.
Tar Department Has Not Heard Of Hi
ncNfh Sen}aurn

NaF DeEAfVMent HAS Not Heard of His
Death Sentence.
Washington, Dec. 1s.-Inquiry at the
Var department discloses the fact that
u record is on file there in the case of
Linas Skinner, a Connecticut yolun-
teer, who is reported in the news dis
patches to have been sntenced to death
for sleeping on post. This record shows
that the charge upon which skinner
was tried was drunkenness on duty
and leaving his post. He was convicted
by court-martial and sentenced to i'm
prisonment for six months The re-
viewing authorities reduced this period
to four months. and it is presumed
here that Skinner is now serving this
sentence. So, unless he has committed
another offense. a report of which has
not yet reached the department (Which
is scarcely probable in view of the fact
that he should be now serving a period
of Imprisonment. it is not possible
that he should have been sentenced to
death on the charge alleged. In fact
the records of the department show
that no American soldier has, during
the recent campaign or indeed through
the Spanish war, been sentenced to
death for sleeping on post.

ALLEGED FORGER

Minnesota Officer Takes Thomas r;
senter Followed Closely by
Rabeas Corpus.
SUES Foa $4,000 DAMAGES
Claims Council Bluffs Prosecution Was
Malicious and Asks Big sum From
Complaining Witnesses and
Attorney Bartlett.

Council Bluffs, To-, Dec. 19.-Bert Da-
Wis the Minnesota deputy sheriff got
out of town with Thomas Il. Senter
followed closely by an officer with
writ of haheas corpus.
Senter was acquitted Saturday. by
jury in the district court, where he was
charged With swindling by uttering a
forged deed. He was charged With
similar crime in Blue Earth. Mimi, and
the governor of that state had issued
requisition upon Governor Shaw and
the latter had issued a warrant of de-
tention. Saturday afternoon, however.
telegram was received from the gov
ernors office ordering Sheriff Cousins
to hold Senter until further instruc-
TORS. About noon u telegram was re-
ceiNed by the sheriff ordering him tc
turn Senter over to tho Minnesota Of
tcer. AS soon as the telegram was re-
ceiNed the officer went to {; nearby liN-
cry stable and secured a rig. The Min
nesota officer and Senter We're dfivea
rapidly away to the northward, and 1t
is presumed caught train at small
station about fifteen miles north of
fere.
A few minutes after Senter had been
taken from the city Jail his local attor-
rey appeared at the court house with
papers in habsas corpus proceeding,
hut was Informed by the sheriff that
Senter had gone. An effort was made
to overhaul the Minnesota officer and
his prisoner, but without success.
Senter had served original notice of
suit against F. G. and E. II. Lougee and
+. A. Bartlett for $4,000 damages. #.
c. and 10. I'll. Lougee are the members
OF the firm of Lougee s: Lougee, who
wore swindled by forgery. which was
done by a stranger, who the jury de-
cided was not Senter.
Bartlett is an attorney of Memphis,
Mo. IT was through his suggestion
that a photograph of Senter was shown
TO II. G. Lougee, who identified it as tha
picture of the man who swindled him.
bartlett took an active part in the case
and during the trial he, rather thane
either of the Council Bluffs men, ap-
peared to be the prosecuting witness.
1T Is claimed by Senter's attorneys that
an enmity has existed between Bart
lett and senter in Memphis. and that
Bartlett's action in the prosecution of
senter was malicious. BY suing the
Iougees and Bartlett here jointly it is
hoped by Senter that the suit for mali
cious prosecution can be maintained.
inasmuch as the Council Bluffs men
permitted themselves to be influenced
by Bartlett's evidence.

Washington, Dec. 20-Secretary Hay

bassador. devoted solely to the Chinese
situation. The result was to clear up,
SO far as can be accomplished in WASH

source, neither the state department
nor the British embassy has any rea-

for severe terms or harsher measures
