Ballet, of Baker City, Or, appeared
in the federal court here and entered a
plea of not guilty in answer to an in
dictment returned against him last No
vember.. His trial will be held next
week, and promises to be one of the
most Important criminal proceedings in
the federal court here for many years.
The Indictment accuses him of using
the United States mails to further a
scheme to defraud, in that he did de
wise q scheme and artifice to defraud
certain persons Of large sums of
money"
The offense consisted Of sending adj
vertising letters through the mails call
ing notice to the White Swan gold
mine, of Baker City, Or, stating that
the mine had been opened 400 feet into
the ground and that thousands of tons
of ore were even ready to be taken
from the mine to the mill; also that
tho mine was ready to run and had
produced more than 100000 up to
that time, being simply awaiting fur
ther development for further riches.
The indictment alleges that Ballet
sent these letters through the mails,
knowing at the time that the claims
were false. Ballet claims the prose-
cution is the result Of spite work, and
that he will be able to clear himself Of
the charge.

Catholic church having parish at
Haaleton, Pa, and a man of great in
-fluence among the miners of that
region and prominent as pacifi-
Gator in strikes. has been missing since
May o. His disappearance has been
partly accounted for by the finding of
his badly decomposed body in a room
of suite of four in a house in Ninth
avenue, this city. The rooms were
leased by Kirk Stanley, massage op-
orator, and he declares he knows moth
ing of the matter. He noticed the
odor and thought it came from a fish
market near. The police suspect MUIR
der.
An autopsy was held on the corpse
yesterday and absolutely no sign Of
violence was found. The autopsy
showed that the man suffered from
chronic Bright's disease, fatty liver
and fatty heart, any Of which would
have been sufficient to cause death.
Still the police are holding Stanley and

Albany, N. Y, May 1S.-Obedient
to orders to shoot If assaulted, guards
men Of the Twenty-third regiment
opened fire at dusk Thursday upon a
mob of strikers. sympathizers and in
nocent bystanders. The hurting of
stone against the soldiers was the Sig
nal for the attack. When the ambul-
ance arrived the following victims
were picked up: The dead-William
Walsh, n mechant, fatally shot by ma
tional guardsmen while sitting in front
of a store on Broadway, removed to
hospital, where he died during the
evening. The fatally injured-Leroy
Smith, merchant and prominent citi-
store in company With Walsh, removed
to hospital, slightly improved at mid
night; William Marshall, non-union
an ambulance Others injured
George Booze, citizen, cheek slashed
open by bayonet; Gilbert Hall, nom
union motorman, shot by mob; Will
lam Rooney, citizen, shot by national
guards
During tile day there had been some
minor disturbances in North Albany,
but the mobs had been Quieted and
driven back at the points of bayonets
and the butts of guns. and not shot
had been fired. Toward evening, while
workmen We're pouring out Of the fac
tories, the last of the street cars was
making Its way toward the barns on
the final run of the day. 1t was on
Broadway street, moving northward,
while rapidly increasing crowd gath
cred near the Union depot. AS the
car and its armed guard turned into
Columbia street a truck blocked the
way, and the driver, urged on by the
crowd, did not move promptly.
Suddenly some one threw stone,
and although 1t went wide of the mark
it had the effect of stirring the crowd
to increased noise and demonstration.
Finally the car moved forward into
the next block and another stone was
hurled Mt it. This was enough to
warn the soldiers that serious trouble
might be expected. and the officer in
command ordered the motorman to
slow down While he and his men fired
four shots toward the crowd, with the
above result

of God, and stand glorified throughout
eternity.

Thou hast called our darling August,
For what cause we cannot tell,
Yet We know Thou hast purpose,
And Thou doeth all things we'll.

We shall some day meet again.
