There is a war between the Judge
of the police court and the bail COM
nnissioners of the police department,
and the manner of handling city pris-
oners pursued by the police during the
city Jail is at the bottom Of the trou-
BILE. The judge declares that the pres
ent tactics of turning prisoners loose
on their own recognizance, VIXEN there
is no assurance that they viii show Up
again, must be stopped. and the police
declare that the court has 10 jurisdic-
ton over the bail matter before the
prisoner is brought before him, and
that he has no authority whatever to
or shall not do with prisoner before
trial.
The trouble resulted Yesterday in \
warm roast of the police department.

was precipitated by the non-appear-

been arrested on a charge of drunken

he would be present in court Yesterday
DanfOrth evidently forgot his appoint

the judge that his man was not there

to expect them to come back to court.

Line.

Line.
Chicago. March 1S.-The Tribune
says: The reported arrangement for
leasing the Chicago. Burlington &
Quincy system to the Great Northern
and Northern Pacific Railroad compa
MES places the Hill combination in a
position to compete in Oriental freights
with the Canadian Pacific railroad.
When their new and fast steamers be-
tween Seattle and Yokohama and
Hongkong are placed in commission,
the Great Northern will have facilities
entirely similar to those of the Cana
dian road.
President George 3. Harris of the
Burlington is making a trip over the
road through Iowa, but a prominent
railroad official. speaking of the ru-
mored combination, said: mo changes
may be expected lis the officers of the
road The Burlington and the Penn
Sylvania lines both use the Union de-
pot, so the time may be said to be
near when through sleeping cars will
be run from New York City on regular
trains over these combined lines direct
to Seattle and Tacoma. Except by spe-
cial arrangement, all passengers now
change cars going east or west at Chi
cago."
According to present advices, James

a separate ana independent basis, but
as a part OF a continuous link system

that some other arrangement would
have to be made. and the turning loose
of prisoners without assurance that
they would appear in court would have
to stop
This is the second time that Judge
Timmony has roasted the police on the
same matter. and it aroused the ire of
Chief Hilton's force They expressed
their opinion that it was none Of the
judges business what was done with
a prisoner before he was brought be-
fore him and that he has no authority
to say What the BAN commissioners
shall do in the matter of bail before
the prisoner has come into court. The
desk sergeants. who are oail c0InmiS-
siOners, cite the fact that the state Jaw
gives them equal power with justice
in the matter of fixing bail IN INSIDE
meanOr charges, and they declare that
II they choose to allow man 10 go on
his own recognizance because they are
forced by present circumstances to do
so, or cOnfine him in a place that is
not fit for a human being, it IS not the
business of the judge 20 dictate what
they shall do, but that it is mis- prerCg-
atiVe to issue a bench warrant Tor the
man who fails to appear.
Chief Hilton said that re had only
three ways to dispose of a prisoner
under the present circumstances, to
keep him in the sweat box and lay the
citye liable to damage suit. TO. allow
him5to go on his own recognizance, or
send him to the county JAIL at a cost
of about So for each case. Judge Tim
mony himself declared to MIN that the
city could not stand for sending a
drunk to the county jail at such q cost,
and therefore the only thing ne could
do was to turn the drunks loose
The officers declare n1w that the
drunks will have to stay IN the hole

~ Dealt With
Especial Correspondents

Buffalo, Wyo.. March 1.-THE fend-
ish crime committed on Powder river,
north of the town of Arvada, one day
this week. when Arapahoe Brown. a
well known eattleman. was murdered
in cold blood and his body consigned
to a bonfire, has already been men,
toned in the dispatches to The Herald.
Arapahoe Brown left Buffalo one day
last week for q. ranch on Powder river.
where he was running bunch of cat
tie on shares. He did not return at
the time he was expected, and his
friends became alarmed. At about
this time two men came to town with
bunch of horses, which they sold at
ridiculously low figures. Some of the
horses We're recognized as those owned
by Brown, and when one of the fell
lows was seen. with a gold watch that
had been carried by the cattleman, a
search was at once instituted. The
two men We're placed in jail pending
developments.
A posse was formed and went out to
the ranch. The sight that met their
gaze only served to confirm their sus-
picions. The floor of the ranch house
was covered with blood and a lounge
and saddle were blood-bespattered.
Some papers that had been carried by
the cabin.
Failing to find the body near the
house, the posse secured the surround
ing country, and with success, for in
gully about two miles from the ranch
they discovered the remains Of the
murdered cattleman.
After meeting death in the cabin,
Browns body had been dragged to the
gully, where a bonfire had been kin
died and the corpse confined to the
flames. The murdereTs had used but
little wood. however, and the body was
only partially consumed
The coroner has taken charge of the
remains and the authorities are push
ing the investigation with vigor. There
seems to be little doubt as to the guilt
Of the men under arrest. and if the
crime is fastened upon them they will
be roughly handled. especially so if
they are not given the full punishment
prescribed by law.
Brown was one of the best known
cattlemen in this section He was
fearless and outspoken, and while he
had many enemies, he was believed to
be honest. He was considered wealthy.
