ORGANIZED MOUNTAIN BANDS.
Powers Says He and Taylor We're Prime Nov
ers. Weaver Arrested For Perjury.
(By the Associated Press.)

Georgetown. Ky. August Former
Secretary of State Caleb Powers, on
trial for alleged completely in the shoot
ing of Governor Goebel began his third
day in the witness box this morning He
was subjected to a rigid cross examina-
ton regarding the organization of the
mountaneer army. He said Taylor and
himself were the primary spirits in get
ting it up. The military companies were
brought along he said, because they had
some discipline and could be more east
ly controlled. Moreover, he said, they
were already armed.
The witness said he had urged Gov
ernor Taylor, while the contest board
was sitting, to call out the military
companies and to send the bulk Of the
other mountain people home, and had Sc
cured a partial promise from the Cover
nor to do it. This was to be done in or
der that they might hold possession of the
State offices till the Supreme court of the
United States had passed on the merits
of the case.
The witness contradicted the state
ment of Banker John A. Black, who swore
that Powers, in discussing the noun
taineer excursion to Frankfort, referred
to it as a mob. Powers says Black so
referred to it, but that he told Black he
would do all he could to keep it from
degenerating into an organization of
that character.
At the afternoon session Colonel
Campbell Intercepted the witness re
garding his flight under military escort
to evade arrest after the issuance of the
warrant March LIST. Powers repeated
that he was afraid he could not get a
fair trial on account of political preju-
dice and also because of the 100000 re-
ward fund appropriated by the Legisla-
ture. Colonel Campbell said:
''Mr. Powers, do you not know that of
the 100000 fund appropriated, the sum
Of $95,994 remains in the hands of the
commissioner unused?"
The witness said he had no knowledge
of this point
The cross examination was concluded at
II: 20 a. m, and Powers quit the witness
box where he had been since 10 o'clock
Monday morning or a total of 16 hours.
Rev. John Stamper Golden's brother
in-law, was asked among other questions
whether Golden had told him that he was
to get money for the confession he made.
Stamper said that Golden made remark
in substance that he was to get $4,000.
He also gave affirmative answers regard
ing other alleged conversations with
Golden, in which the latter is claimed to
have said that he was to be paid $4,000
for each conviction.
Upon cross examination Colonel Hen
drick asked the witness if he did not
have a talk with L. f. Sinclair of the
defense, and after that if he did not tell
Golden that he could get $4,000 if. he
would leave the State and not testify.
The witness replied that he did say to
Golden that he believed he could get
those fellows to give him $4,000 if he
would leave the State"

Tien Tsin, Thursday, July 26th.-(Via

ceiyed orders from Washington today
not to delay the advance on Pel1in. He
was also informed that heavy reinforce

Great activity is noticeable at Japan

The Japanese organization, on the other

"Dr. Robert Coltman, Jr, the staff

'Pekin, July 21st-Baron Won Kettle

by Chinese troops, and his secretary
wounded, June Goth, while on his way to
the Tsung Ii Yamen. The following
residents are besieged in the British
Legation and have been under a daily
fire from artillery and rifles.
''The cowardice of the Chinese for
tunately prevented them from making
successful rushes. Our losses are sixty
killed and seventy wounded. The Chi
nese losses exceed 1000.
There has been no word from the
outside world. Food is plentiful such as
it is-rice and horse flesh. Yesterday
under flag of truce, message was sent
by Yung LII asking~if Sir Claude Mac
Donald, the British Minister, would con-
sent to a truce. The Minister replied he
no closer. The shell firing then ceased
and everything is now quiet.
1--WE hope that having defeated the
Chinese, relief is nearing us. We are
all exhausted with constant standing on
guard, fighting, building barricades and
digging trenches both night and day.

The other day l noticed that the
P. G. Advertiser was attacking the
Bishop estate to further notice. The
morning paper threatened to pub
lish the names of the trustees of the
estate aud your paper, called by the
P. G. A., the organ of the Bishop
estate, furnished the names at once
in your columns. AS the burning
question OF the day now is the burn

justified in asking the Advertiser to
return your compliment in re the
Bishop estate trustees, and publish
ing the names Of the stockholders in
the concern. After learning the
names of those Interested it will not
be difficult perhaps to see where the
button is which pulls the strings. l
understand that the reason why
there was not great kick against
the burning of the Pantheon stables
was due to the fact that the lease
had expired and that the owners
knew that no renewal would be
granted by the Widemann estate.
The Hotel stabl, are still enjoying
lease of nearly one year from Mrs.
Mary Brown and the stockholders
naturally don't care to lose the pro-
its to be gained during that period.
The stockholders in the concern can
afford to lose the earnings of one
year as will be seen when the Adver-
tiser publish the names OF the own
ers, even to the detriment OF it's
advertising columns.

Ed. The INDEPENDENT: :

HE
Your position on the burning
question OF the times, in both
senses, has been consistent. About
the burning of the Hotel Stables
may not there be two sides to be
considered9 1t is possible that the
members OF the Board of Health
have learned something by exper-
fence. The refusal to burn the
stables under consideration may be
an admission that the torch has in
some other cases been applied with
out due consideration. Some allow
ance must be made for a state OF
mind produced by panic; under such
conditions OF mind fire may seem to
be the only relief. Means OF infec-
tion may have been misunderstood
and enlightenment may have been
the result of our two months of ex-
perience. Ii the members of the
Board of Health refuse to fire the
Hotel Stables we should accept such
refusal as an admission of error in
the past with the best possible grace,
