WORK OF OUTLAWS.

Assasalnate Two Officers Who Are in
Pursuit Dead Men Unarmed.
Salt Lake, May 8l.-A special to the
Herald from Thompson, Utah, says:
A cowardly assassination occurred
about 80 miles north of here yesterday
at noon. Sheriff Tyler. of Grand
county, and Sam jenkins, cattle
owner, were shot and instantly killed
by outlaws on Hill creek, about 80
miles north OF here
The sheriff, jenkins and Deputy
Sheriff Day have been on the hunt for
cattle rustlers for several days, in fact,
ever since they killed George Currie on
April II. The posse had separated
from Sheriff Preece, of Uintah county,
and posse, early in the morning, the
latter being about three miles away
when the shooting occurred. The story
Of the killing, as told by Deputy Sheriff
Day, who was only about 80 yards
away when the shooting occurred, is as
follows:
The officers came upon the outlaws
camp unexpectedly. AS soon as they
saw the outlaws they dismounted and
advanced towards them. When with
In few yards from the outlaws, Sheriff
Tyler spoke to them, saying, Hello,
boys"
The reply made could not be heard
by Deputy Sheriff Day, but Immediately
after it was made, Sheriff Tyler and
Jenkins turned towards their horses,
supposedly with the intention OF leav-
ing to get more assistance. As soon as
their backs were turned, the outlaws
shot them through the back, the bull
let's coming out OF their breasts, killing
them almost instantly.

BOERS LOSE HEART
Kruger Admits That Situa'
tion Is Very Grave.
ASKS BURGHERs WHAT TO D
It Is Feared That IL the Dutch Have an
Excuse They VIII Destroy the
johannesburg Mines.

London, May 29.-When Lord Rob-
srts wrote his first dispatch ON Trans
vaal territory yesterday, shortly before
2 O'Clock in the afternoon, he was 81
miles from Johannesburg and n miles
from Pretoria. His immensely superior
forces had passed the Vaal river, their
last great natural obstacle, at three
points.
The Vaal has curve of 80 miles OF
the west to Zand Drift on the east.
The concave of the current is toward
the Free State. Thus Lord Roberts,
advancing along the railway, was in a
position TO strike any part of the cres-
cent by shorter lines than those by
which the Beers could reinforce the
threatened points. The Beers retreated
almost without show of defense.
General French and General Hamilton
apparently did not fire a shot.
OF Lord Roberts immediate force IL
men. belonging to the Eighth mounted
infantry, were the first to ford the
river. They came upon Boer patrol
looting at Vieljoen's Drift, and skirm-
ish lasting 10 minutes followed.
Three hundred Beers tried feebly to
hold the Vereeniging colliery, but were
dislodged. Major Hunter Weston and
Lieutenant Earl rode in advance of
Lord Roberts 40 miles into hostile
country to try to cut the railway be-
hind the Beers before the Vaal was
crossed, but they were too late.
The Boer rear guard is at Moy1rton,
10 miles south OF Yereenignig. Their
main body is moving toward the Kip
river hills that cover the south side OF
Johannesburg. While Lord Roberts
80, 900 infantry, 10000 horses and 100
guns are moving on johannesburg and
Pretoria, through parched and desert
ed country, the situation at the Trans
vaal capital, as it was last Friday, is
thus described by an observer, who
sent his message by private hands to
Lourenco Marques yesterday:
"The situation, both from military
and political point of view, has be-
come very critical. President Kruger
yesterday admitted for the first time
that matters are very grave. The Boer
determination is to trust everything to
last stand on the Gatsrand mountains,
to the north of Potschefostroom, where
5000 Kafiirs are digging trenches. Tc
that point every available man and CUR
has been sent.
''The whole of the western border o.
the Transvaal from end to end is de-
fenseless, and General Baden-Powell
can march in when he likes. Lord
Roberts, on the other hand, will en-
counter the greatest resistance. The
Boer endeavor is to lure the British
into appearing to threaten Johannes
berg with attack, an excuse thus being
given them for the destruction of prop
erty. The Transvaal government viii
not dare destroy the mines and property
without an excuse. Much dynamite
has been sent down the line, and 100,
600 cases lie ready at Zurfontein, neal
johannesburg.
General Louis Botha and General
Lucas Meier have pleaded for the pres
ervation of property. Both are larg'
landed proprietors and fear coniscation
but they have not received satisfactory
replies from President Kruger"

Caused Another Riot in st. Louis-At.
tempt to Blow Up Car.
st Louis, May 28.-Sympathizers Of
the striking street car men were again
the medium of riotous demonstration
today, and as result another name was
added to the long list of wounded.
This afternoon, as a car ON the Jefferson
avenue line, running south, approached
Sullivan avenue, it was attacked by
crowd of men and boys. Several shots
were fred at the car. The policemen
on the car returned the fire, and in all
about 100 shots were exchanged. Peter
Wells, patrolman, who WAS riding on
the front platform, was hit in the left
arm pit, the bullet producing an ugly
wound. 1t is not known who fired the
shot, as the crowd scattered as soon as
the men on the car drew their revolv-
ers. 1t was rumored that two men in
crowd were shot, but they could not be
found by the police.
The differences existing between the
management of the st. Louis g
Suberban Railway Company and the
union men in its employ were salts
factorily adjusted this afternoon and all
danger OF another strike has been avert
ed, at least for the present.
Twenty-Five miles of the Tran sit
Company were in operation today, but
few cars were running.
At 6 A. M. an attempt was made by
somebody unknown to blow up car
on the Spaulding avenue line of the
Transit Company. The wheels Of the
first car struck something that explod-
ed with loud noise, and lifted the car
two or three feet into the air.
