Washington, June 4.-The minority
report on the Occur dAlene investiga-
ton was given out today by Repre-
sentatives Lentz of Ohio and Hay of
Virginia, who drafted it. The following
is a summary of its main features:
The minority point out that the ev-
idence taken during the investigation
shows that there was absolutely no
rioting in ShOshOne county, Idaho, af-
ter April %, 1899; that when the United
States troops arrived upon the scene
quiet had been restored, and no resist
ance was being made to the state au-
thorities, who were arresting as rapid
~ as possible those who were sus-
pected of being implicated in the crime
of April 20, 1899
1T is maintained by the minority
that the troops sent to Idaho by the
president of the United States. contin-
ued to be under the control of the
president, and that the military COM
mander in charge could only use the
troops in aid of the civil authorities of
the state to preserve peace and order
and to prevent resistance being made
by lawless persons to the process of
the courts and the proper civil author
tiles of the state.
Innocent Men Imprisoned.
The president of the United States
has kept, and is still keeping, soldiers
in that community, and by so doing is
unfolding a tyrannicaI course of con-
duct pursued by the governor of Idaho.
The minority points out fragrant in
stances of abuse of power and viola
ton of law by General Merriam. the
commander of the troops.
Il. General Merriam sent on Nav 3
about $50 troops to the town of Burke
and arrested without warrant the en-
tire male population of the town, con-
sisting of about 300 persons. 1t was
an outrage on the liberty of the citi-
zens which has no parallel in the an
nails of this country.
80 General Merriam sent a detach-
ment of troops into the state of Mon
tana for the purpose of arresting fugi-
tives from the state of Idaho, an mex
cusable exercise of arbitrary power by
General Merriam.
3. Lieutenant Lyon, acting under
the order of his superior officer, by
threats of violence forced certain cit
liens to work in the Tiger Poorman
mine against their will. No such fla
grant invasion of the right of the citi-
zen can be cited in the history of this
cOuntr-.
a. Major Smith suppressed the Null
len Mirror, a newspaper published at
Mullen. thus denying free speech and
free press. This was a gross violation
of law wholly unjustifiable.
80. The permit system, in fact, a
blacklist system, approved by General
Merriam. and kept in operation to this
day by the presence of the military
forces of the United States, is a viola
ton of Law which cannot be defended. -
President Upholds Tyranny.
IN summing up, the minority says
they are satisfied from the evidence ad-
duced before the committee that Gen

No Trace of Outlaws.

County Commissioner Joseph Mckee,
one of the members of the Tolliver
posse. arrived here from Browns
Park last night and brings the report
that the whole country around
Browns Park and Powder Springs has
been covered without finding any
trace of the outlaws. 1t now seems GER
tain that they have either gone up or
down Green river. There is a strong
probability that they have dfifted
down the river to its mouth, where the
country is exceedingly rough and diff
cult of access. Mckee is of the opinion
that they could, by making a raft
succeed in crossing Green River to the
western side, where they may now be
in the vicinity of the Jones Hole coun-
try It may be possible also that they
have doubled back and may be either
between Bear River and Snake River,
headed for the Grand EncamDment
country, or possibly along White river
Every avenue was closely watched be-
tween Green river and Powder Springs
and no signs were found. 1t now seems
certain that the outlaws are along
Green river east of here or have taken
the back trail.
Sheriff Preece and Deputy Sheriff
TOIliver met last night at Basalt ranch
at the head of the canyon and will
proceed to explore the country along
Bear and Green rivers today.
Sheriff HOwells, who received a
message yesterday from Governor
Wells to come on to Salt Lake has
concluded to wait here another day. in
view of the news that the outlaws have
not been seen north. 1t is the Salt
Lake officers opinion that the outlaws
have either gone into hiding along
Bear river. or have managed to elude

ity of where the killing occurred, under
the impression that the posses would
little dream of their being in that sec
ton. Howells is 10th to break off the
chase. and should a courier come in to-
day with anything definite he will
again take the trail at once.
Mckee states that it was the inten-
ton of Sheriff Preece to range across
both Bear and Snake rivers, and it is
believed that if the outlaws have gone

trail of the outlaws. The trail had
been followed across White river, where
the outlaws had swan their horses

The posse, consisting of fourteen men,

feeling confident OF overtaking the

Ogden police force. who had joined
the posse, was killed.
Majors vas tried, COM icted and SEN
fenced to be shot within ten days.
The supreme court, in its opinion.
written by Justice Miner, holds that
Abe Majors killed Brown, not that the
dead brother did it. The chief point
on which it was expected a new trial
would be granted was on the ground,
as alleged, that it was Archie, not Abe,
who killed Brown. But the court holds
that the evidence shows that it was
the living brother who killed the Of
ficer
Holding of the Court
In answer to the argument that the
killing was too sudden to have been
Dremeditated, the court says, a will
full, malicious intent may be formed
the instant the act is done. A man
may do a thing Willfully. maliciCusly,
Intentionally and deliberately from
moments reflection, as well as after
pOndering over it 2 month"
But TIE argument that il was the
older and not the younger brother who
killed Brown falls to the ground before
another staternt Mt of the court.
Even if it was not directly traceable
to the defendant. still the record shows
acts these two men were acting in con-
cert to rob and to resist arrest, even
to the killing of other persons, and be-
ing so associated and confederated to-
geUher in their felOniOus purpose Of
robbery and resistance to the civil
power of the state, the killing of the
deceased, by WhOmSOever it was done,
was the act of each and of both the
conspir3tors, and thereby the defendant
IS charseable Herewith, whether he or
his companion fired The fatal shot"
Many opinions in support of this
proposition are cited in the decision.
The contention that the testimony Of
Hanson as to the hOld-up was imprOp-
erly admitted in evidence at the trial
is denied. And the court holds that
the admission of the testimony of the
alleged attempt to grab gun and es-
cape one day at the end of the cast
was rot IN error.
