The cannon viii be placed in a prorni

the number captured during the CUBAN
campaign in the late war. The cannon
are in great demand and many cities
desire them for like purposes. The de-

sufficient number had been selected for
the decoration of public parks and ma

SETS HIS PRICE HIGH
Peter Orth Sues sheriff simmons and
j. =. 7Eutchi nsOn for S2O, 900

Peter Orth commenced suit yesterday
against Sheriff Simmons and J. S. Hutch
inson, asking for damages in the sum Of
so, COO for malicious prosecution and ar
rest, alleging that Hutchinson, through
his agent to Orth unknown, conspired
with Sheriff Simmons to charge the plain
tiff with the commission of a felony.
Orth is the man who was arrested and
put in Jail in this county November II,
1893, on a warrant issued by a justice Of
the place at Goodlaud. Kan, on COM
plant of the defendant, Hutchinson,
charging Orth with having robbed HIN
Of several hundred dollars. Ortiz was
taken to Goodland and put in jail, but al
forwards was released on a bond Of $3.50
for his appearance at the November
term OF the district court Of Sherman
county. On the 21st Of November the
plaintiff states the cause was dismissed
with prejudice to a new action by the
district court of Sherman county. but
that the prosecution is now wholly end
ed and determined. Orth claims that J.
S. Hutchinson falsely and maliciousIy
made the complaint against him.
Orth alleges as his cause for seeking
damages against Mr.. Hutchinson. the
fact of his confinement IN a small. filthy
and unfit jail at GoodIand. and that dur
ing his confinement the weather was very
cold and he did not have sufficient fire
or clothing. He says he~ suffered from
the cold so badly that his feet and legs
were frozen. his health permanently i'm
pared to such q degree that he has been
unable to perform manual labor with
out severe pain. He further claims that
his surroundings in the Jail were loath-
some and humiliating He claims that
the news OF his arrest and alleged crime
was extensively published in the daily
and weekly newspapers. and that hte
accounts so published and circulated
greatly Inundated him and damaged his
character and high standing in the COM
mynities where he had resided
Orth further claims over and above the
s20000 damages asked an allowance Of
5000 TO make good the expencs ne has
been put 20 in securing attorneys ard
witnesses in his behalf. He says he was
prevented from attending TO his business
for about five months. Orth claims for
reasons set forth in his petition a ju5g-
ment against Mr.. Hutchinson for 81 sd.

Bancroft Gold Excitement.

Bancroft has been having a
genuine gold stampede, though on
a small scale.
Recently Tom Moore accidental
" struck a gold lead near that place
which showed, by assay, good val
ues in gold and some silver. The
find Is about seven miles from Ban
croft and is described as being a
s'big lead, traceable for 10 or.l5
miles. On the strength of these
reports quite a number from here
went down there last week. They
found some good out-erops, and the
possibility of good paying mines
being developed is very bright.
Several claims have already been
staked and as soon as the weather
will perm. considerable develop
ment work will be done.
This last strike is not the same as
the one made by Mr.. Moore last
fall. That is something like 90
miles from Bancroft. It was while
making trip to the latter place
that Tom run on to the new lead.

Is bright, but the metal from the
creeks is coated black. One would
not pick up piece of the creek
gold unless he had knowledge of
the condition of the gold there-it
is all so black that it's character
would not be suspected. The gold
from the beach is worth $500
while that from the creeks brings
$500.
There is range of mountains
four miles back from the beach and
the creeks on which the pay is found
are on the farther side of the hills.
The creeks flowing toward the beach
have been prospected but the gold
found is not in paying qualities.
The strip of beach OH which pay is
found is IA miles long. That was
the condition when Mr.. Altman
left, but it is understood there have
since been some discoveries farther
north. Men working on the beach
make from $50 to $500 day. The
original beach workings are exhaust
ed, and the men going i'll now will
have to find new ground,
Asked about diggings on the
Russian side, Mr.. Altman said he
had been solicited to prospect over
there. When he was in New York
he went to see the Russian consul
and was told by that official that
mining was prohibited on the Rus
sian coast. No one would be per
mitted to work there unless he hac

permit could not be secured except

ton is to ignore it entirely, and with it
the earnest request of early the whole
town. AL ask is an impartial CON
sideration of this question. If you do |
you cannot help seeing that little |
persecution has been practiced against |
me. Anyone who wishes to know the
cause of this can find out by consulting
me. All ask is to be treated fairly;
either move the fences back to the
original places, or carry into effect the
remainder Of the compromise, as agreed
on, and further that be not compelled
to maintain an angular line in front of
my property.
Strict justice would demand the fen
ces be moved out to the six rod line and
that the parties who have caused this
delay and trouble be made to pay the
damages.

frequently referred to in the meeting,

Among the last things he said TO me,

parties who have been bounding me
ever since.

An Open Letter.

ed by Chris WalIantine TO publish
the following communication. We
know nothing of the controversy,
and have no desire to.
Ills communication expresses his
own IDEAS and sentiments, and our
readers can take them IN that light.
>-EpI1oR EXAMINER.
TO THE PEOPLE OF PARIS.
Force of circumstances over which /
have no control compels me to adopt
this method of communicating with
you.
A meeting was.called on March 31st,
for the final settlement of the street
middle, that has existed for the last
nine years. The reason for the call was
this: About two weeks ago petition
was circulated and signed by 1872 heads
of families and tax payers out Of pas
sible $50 of such in the city limits of
Paris. To my knowledge ut least six
more would have signed it had they
seen it.
It is claimed that there are 100 fami-
lies in the precinct, which no doubt is
true, but q of these live outside of the
city limits. and they were refused a
chance to sign while 10 or Is more are
not taxpayers and they did not sign.
This shows the practical unanlmity Of
she sentiment in the city limits. All
this, however, was not satisfactory to
Pres. Bulge, as he so earnestly express
Scd himself in a sermon on the 25th,
The meeting above referred to was
opened by an Invocation to Almighty
God for spirit of good will and equal
ity to take possession of the people. =
Pres. Bulge then delivered lengthy
sermon, explaining fully the powers
and duties of bishops in all temporal
things, The object Of the meeting was
then explained, which was, that the
main street of Paris be changed from
eight to six rods in width, on diagon-
al line south of Second South and north
of Second North streets respectively.
The question was quite earnestly dis
oussed by those owning the land and
most interested. During this discus
sion motion was made to make all the
streets six rods wide. This was oppos-
ed by one property owner, and was
ruled out of order by the presiding off.
Ger, Pres. Bulge.
will now state my reasons, as the
petition above referred to, was unani
mously granted by the city council, fol
not wanting to be guided by the las
named meeting:
About nine years ago, quite nuabel
of porrerty owners moved out thell
their fences in accordance with an or
der from tho commissioners. Objec
tions were raised and we agreed tt
move back Il majority of land owner;
ON the street wanted it..A canvas
showed three fourths were in favor O
a six-rod street, but then as now the re
suit was not satisfactory to q few, VIII
did not, or do not now, own singh
foot of land on this street. Church dis
cipline. with threats of ex-communica
ton and other punishment, we're freel.
used.. As O. result all but three fence
were finally moved back. I refused. t
move without getting my money back
with low interest, amounting to abou
ezs This was rejected and two attor
