Extracts From Letter.

On the eth of last April my two
boys al away from the government
school on the reservation. They were
gone about eleven days before | found
it out. Was during the time of the
sno storm. | went to the school as
quick as possible and saw the agent,
Captain H. G. Nickerson, | was ac-
cused by him of having the boys hid
away and that Jackson, my son-in-
law, had stolen them. From what |
can learn Jackson was at the school on
April 3 and had the boys outside talk
ing to them for nearly two hours. Jack.
son in the meantime goes to the post
from the school and after his depart
ure the boys told their sisters that
they were going to run away on Satur-
day ard come home-the Oldest Il to
bring his mother to the post for medi-
cal attendance; the younger to assist
me in gathering the horses. Jackson,
from what | can learn, impressed upon
the boys minds hat If they did not
hurry they would not get to see their
mother alive, and also that the horses
were all gone and that l could not find
them. Their mother was sick, but not
so bad a Jackson represented and as
far as the horses were concerned that
statement was false. This story work
ed on the boys minds so much that
they did as Jackson wanted them to do
and paid the penalty with their lives.
Sent Out Police.
The agent finally sent seven Indian
police out to make a search and | and
my oldest daughter, were out. The po-
lice struck their track and trailed them
to Bull lake. There they lost the track.
They returned to the agency and re-
ported to the agent. This settled hunt
ing on the part of the agent and police,
coming to the conclusion that J had
the boys hid away. After that | rode
steady trying to get some trace of the
boys. Finally the roundup commenc-
l camped with them and old them
to look out close. This was on the 18th

EFFORTS TO SECURE INQUEST ON
THE DEATH OF TWO
SONS.
Complications Prevent the Regular
Processes in Such Cases-Tragedy
of a Storm Recalled by a Letter
Judge Bramel Has Received From
James Calhoun at Fort Washikie.

Judge C. w. Bramel has just receiv-
ed a letter that is like to lead to i'm
portant movement looking to the
granting of more extensive civil rights
of state officers on Indian reserva-
lions. The letter recalls a tragedy
was enacted in Fremont county
on the Shoshone reservation last
spring.
Two boys were lost in a storm and
persisted either from the cold or from
violence of some kind. The father of
the boys thinks they We're murdered.
He has appealed for a c%oroner's in
quest but the officials of Fremont
county claim they had no right to go
onto a reservation for such a purpose.
The Indian agent did not feel hat he
had any powers in the matter and so
no investigation has beer made. Judge
Bramel has the letter under advise
ment and will probably consult with
the attorney general before answering
the letter. Some interesting develop
ments are expected and they may re-
suit in a congressional inquiry.
TIL letter is written from Fort Wash
axle by James Calhoun and is as fol-

where the newspaper correspondents
were congregated until IL o'clock, and
his coming at that time was for the pur-
pose of notifying the press that he would
have nothing to say for publication dur
ing the night. He added that he might
possibly give out statement tomorrow
After this assurance, the visitors with
drew and soon afterwards the lights were
extinguished and the house presented no
signs of animation. Mrs. Bryan spent
the evening entertaining her company,
and gave no sign either of fatigue or dis
appointment. The feeling is quite gen
eral that Mr. Bryan will say tomorrow
that he does not doubt the election for
the second time Of his rival, for while
he has given no direct utterance to such
concession, he indirectly admits tonight
to friends that he does not hope for more
than to reduce the Republican majority
in some of the Eastern States.

VIRGINIA

Richmond Va. Nov. 6.-Actual and es-
timated pluralities give the State to
BRYAN by upwards of 10000.
The indications are that certainly nine
and probably all, of the Democratic can
didates for Congress are elected. The
Ninth district is, at midnight, the only
one in doubt, and the chances are in
favor of the Democrats. There has been
no disturbance of any kind in the State.
The election has been an unusually quiet
one.
Richmond, Va, Nov. 6.-S p. m.-State
safe for Bryan by good majority. Lamb
(Dem), in Fourth district, elected.

the indications are that Rhea (Dem.) is
elected in the Ninth district.
Petersburg, Va, Nov. 6.-The vote in
this city follows:

lican gains which, if they hold good,
throughout the State would indicate a Re-
publican plurality of from 200 to 5000
However, the Fusionists say these re-
turns are not significant of the real re-
suit, and thae the outlying districts will
overcome these gains and give the State
to Bryan by from 5000 to 5000. The re-
suit of the vote on the national ticket
will no doubt also determine the vic
tories on the State ticket, by running
very close together in nearly all cases.
Although not factor, the Prohibition
ticket shows gain over four years ago.
1t will require pretty full count to de-
termine the complexion of the Legisla-
jority on joiot ballot.
Chairman Hall, of the Democratic State
Central committee was reticent with re-
gard to the result and refused to give
any figures. Chairman Lindsay of the
Republican State Central committee, said
all their returns indicated a complete
Republican victory with a plurality of
from 5000 to 10000 for Mckinley with no
definite returns on the State ticket and
the Legislature.

counties Beckham, for Governor, has
gained 1902 over Taylor in the same
counties last year. Jefferson county
Q4ouisville) is not included in this esti-
mate. This indicates that Yerkes has
been elected by safe majority. In the
Presidential race, Mckinley has prob

New York, Nov. 6-At II o'clock the
indications are that Mckinley has car
ried New York State by a majority
over Bryan of about 100000, compared
with a Republican majority in the
last Presidential election of 228,4 The
total vote in the city of New York is
approximately $4,000 larger than it was
in 1896, and up the State the increase is
about 80, 000 In the city Bryan wiped
out the plurality of 60, 900 which Mckinley
had four years ago and took on plural
ity for himself of about $4,000. Up the
State Mckinley barely held the vote which
he had in 1896, the added vote going to
Bryan The vote for B. B. O'Dell, Jr.,
Republican nominee for Governor, is con-
siderably larger than that for Mckinley.
In Brooklyn, particularly the Democratic
nominee for Governor, Mr.. Stanchfeld
appears to have been scratched.
The election passed off quietly, both in
the city and State. There were no more
than the usual number of arrests of men
accused of attempting illegal voting in
city precincts, and where the accused
made it clear that they were innocent
they were permitted to return to the
polling places and vote without further
molestation.

quarters from New York, New Jersey and

Boston, Nov. 6.-President Mckinley has
carried Massachusetts by about $4,000
plurality, reduction of nearly 100000
from that of four years ago. The Re-
publicans have elected ten and the Dem
ocrats three of the congressman. While
the total vote for Governor was some
what behind that given the National,
Mr.. Crane was reelected by a some
what larger plurality than that received
by President Mckinley.
The plurality in this city of S,466 for
Bryan, with one precinct to be heard
from, came as the surprise of the cleo
tion in Eastern Massachusetts. Bryan

ceived four years ago. McKinleys sun

WISCONSIN

Milwaukee, Wis, Nov. 6.--Returns from
Wisconsin, up to 10 o'clock, though COM
paratively few, show, when compared with
the vote of four years ago, that Mckinley
has carried the State by large plu-
rality, equal if not to exceed the figures
of 1896, which were 1922 12. Robert M.
LaFollette, the Republican candidate for
Governor, is running about equal with
the Presidential candidate, and is like
wise sure of carrying the State. While
few returns have been received from the
Congressional districts, these show the
Republican candidates for Congress to
he running equal with Mckinley, and the
indications are that Wisconsin's delega-
tion will be solidly Republican.
Milwaukee, Wis, Nov. 6.-Returns
from one twentieth of the precincts in
wisconsin including few precincts IN
Milwaukee, indicate that Mckinley
plurality of 1O2, 612 in 1896 will be more
than ecualled.

can State Central Committee claim the

will carry the State by 10000.
Milwaukee, Nov. 6.-Election returns
received up to midnight indicate that
Wisconsin has gone for Mckinley by from
los, 900 to $4,000 plurality. The Republic
can State ticket headed by Robert M.
La Toilette, will receive a similar plu-
rality. The Legislature will be over
whelmingly Republican and the Congress
sional delegation is solidly Republican.

MARYLAND

Baltimore. Md, Nov. 6.-McKinley car
ried this city by majority of $685.. The
returns from the counties are meagre
but official advices from 81 scattered pre-
cincts out of 354 give him 1890 as
against 16, 1877 for Bryan, thus assuring
him of a majority of at least 10000 in
the State. The defeat of the Democrats
has been thorough and surprising, 1T be-
ing certain that they have lost five of
the six congressman with the probable
tiles in favor of clean sweep by the
loss of the other.
