EXPECTED VICTORY,
Weather Was Supposed to Be Jus
What ChalIenuer Wanted.

London, Oct. 3.-The extent of
Great Britain's disappointment at the
defeat today of Shamrock II, can
be thoroughly appreciated only by
those who saw the thousands of spec
tators lining the entertainments. AL
most to a man they were expectant
of victory. The early editions OF the
afternoon newspapers announcing
that Shamrock weather prevailed had
keyed up the hopes here, almost to a
pitch of certainty, and many people
entertained the idea that the depres-
sion over South African affairs might
be relieved by a victory by Shamrock
II. The latter's lead in the early part
OF h race SO strengthened this i'm
preston that London was threatened
with a repetition of Mafeking night.
The crowds greeted the green lights
on the towers and on the launches
which paraded the Thames, with wild
delight. But 'Columbia's red slowly
caught up and motor cars with meg
aphones dashed up and down the en-
bankment, proclaiming Columbia's
lead. The yachts in the Thames re-
versed the position of their lights and
those on the signal towers were
changed. The crowds stood mute,
awaiting the final messages. Amer
ica's cup dinners were advertised at
the embankment hotels and over
looking the river many fashionable

INDICTED FOR
CONSPIRACY
HELPED JURY BR1BER TO
ESCAPE.
TURNED STATES EVIDENCE
Two Attorneys Give Bonds for
Their Appearance-One Has
Not Been Found.

Chicago, Oct. 3.-Four men, three
prominent attorneys and a we'll known
railroad detective, were indicted this
afternoon on the charge of conspir-
acy, in aiding and abetting Bailiff
James Lynch, indicted for attempted
jury bribing, to escape. The men
indicted were Attorneys Alexander Sui
livan, counsel for the Union Traction
company, against which corporation
suits were originally brought; Ed
ward Maher and Frederick st. John,
and George P. Murray, chief of de-
tectives for the Illinois Central Rail-
road company. Two of the men, Sui
Ivan and Maher, furnished bonds
shortly after their indictments in the
amount of 100000 each.
The indictments are said to have
been made on the evidence of Lynch,
who returned Tuesday and, it is said,
turned states evidence.
Murray is at Springfield during the
state falr Tor MS company, and st.
John had not been found at nightfall.
Lynch was arrested in December,
1898, charged with offering a bride
to Juror "Chris" Hawthorne, who
was serving on a personal injury case.
Lynch offered the juror $500 to hang
the jury, it was charged. A number
of other indictments were found
against the bailiff, the first being
brought in January 3, 1899. On Jan
uary II Lynch disappeared. Lynch's
attorney was Mr.. Maher, who asserts
he knew nothing of the fugitive's
movements and that he had urged the
mar to remain here and stand trial.

Thereupon Captain Barr, having &C
complished his purpose tackled about
back of the line and. held off for more
than a minute. Then, with a flying
start, he went over just before the

patriots were disappointed until the
experts explained that there was no
windward beats in a reach where the
boats could lay their course straight
at the mark, and that the position
astern, where Barr could keep his
eye on every move of his rival, was
the commanding one. He could watch
Sycamore like a hawk, knowing that

EXTEND LINE FROM GUERN-
SEY TO SALT LAKE.
CODY EXTENSION DROPPED
Construction Work on Salt Lake
Line Will Be Commenced
in the Spring.

st. Paul, Oct. 3.-The Pioneer Press
tomorrow will say: Semi-oficial con-
firmation of the numerous reports
that the Burlington will extend from
Guernsey, Wyo., to Salt Lake City
has been obtained from sources gen
orally considered reliable. It has be-
came known today that a survey of
the line has been completed and Of
fetal announcement that the line will
be built is expected within a month.
The best information is that the
ing the Union Pacific at Laramie,
Wyo. Thence it cuts into northwest
ern Colorado in the region of Estes
Park and takes it's course almost due
west to Salt Lake, passing south Of
the Unitah mountains.
Coupled with the statement that
the Salt Lake survey has been COM
pleted is the information that a
branch line will be built from Lyons,
the present terminus of the Burling-
ton branch northward from Denver,
through Estes Park to the Salt Lake
line at a point north of the park and
just within the Wyoming line. Equal
ly reliable statements are to the eff
feet that the talked of extension from
Cody, Wyo., to the boundary Of the
Yellowstone park, will not be built.
The Burlington's purpose in ex-
tending from Lyons is to develop
Estes park, famous for it's natural
curiosities and scenery, into a rival
of Yellowstone. This is said to be
partially the result of a refusal by
the Northern Pacific to permit the
extension from Cody to the Yellow
stone park on the ground that it
would interfere with Northern Pacific
tourist business.
The new Salt Lake line will give
northwestern Colorado it's first rail
way communication and will open a
vast territory not contiguous to rail-
way lines at present. It will also
give Denver a new connection with
Salt Lake via the Lyons extension.
Construction work on both lines will
begin in the spring.

Indians and Mixed Bioods.

An important ruling was filed by
Judge Sanborn, United States circuit
COURT in the case of Anthony Farrell
against the United States of America.
The decision defines the status of
Indians and mixed breeds with re-
spect to the law forbidding the sale
of liquor to Indians in South Dakota.
Farrell was tried and convicted for
selling liquor to Indians in South Da-
kota, Jan. 1. 1900, to Globe La Fran
boise, a mixed blood Indian.
Three errors We're urged:
That the Indian agent was permit
ted to testify that the accused was
under his charge.
That the court refused to charge
the act of 1897 was inconsistent and
accused was a white man he La From
boise, was not a mixed blood, over
whom the government exercised
guardianship, nor an Indian in charge
OF an agent.
That the court refused to hold that
thte act of 1897 was inconsistent and
not applicable to the mixed blood In
dian, he had received an allotment
and patent and because he is a citizen
of the United States.
The ruling of the lower court is
sustained.
The court holds that the law pro-
hibiting the sale of liquors to Indians
is constitutional and valid, and that
under it's power to regulate commerce
with the Indians congress has the
authority to pass prohibitory liquor
laws.
1t is also held that congress has
the power to regulate the liquor traffic
with Indian allottees not renowned
by the act Of Feb. 8, 1887. Congress
did not it's constitutional
power to regulate the liquor traffic
with Indians while the United States
holds the title to their lands in trust.
According to the syllabus, in ascer-
tanning the tribal and other relations
with Indians, the courts generally fol-
low the executive and legislative de-
partments, to which the determine
ton of these relations has been spec
ifically intrusted.
The law is laid down that a mixed
blood Indian, who has received an
allotment and patent of land as a
member Of a tribe, whose mother was
an Indian and father a %half-breed, is
himself a mixed blood Indian of the
tribe. notwithstanding that his grand
father was a white man and a citizen
of the United States.

Indian mothers, follow the status of
the mother.

ience in woodcraft which he will
never repeat and which, but for the
timely arrival of assistance would
have had fatal ending. Mr.. With

Allen, to look at some land which
he contemplated buying. He dined
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. L. NJ

bush for point about three miles
distant. Being unacquainted with
the section and knowing naught of
the woods he became lost and when
found by Mr.. Linnell late the fol-
lowing afternoon was in an exhaust
ed condition and so badly frozen
that the amputation of several toes
may be found necessary.

An explosion followed by fire in

Fayal yesterday resulted in death
to one man, and for a time threat
ened great property damage.
The origin of the fire is unknown,
but it is supposed to have occurred
through the negligence of some
miner in going to the powder room
with naked light. About two
hundred pounds of powder blew up
but quick work prevented damage
which for a time threatened ines
timable loss. At one time it
looked as though the fire might ex-
tend beyond the drift in which the
powder house was located, into the
open workings.
One of the faithful trammer mules
was also caught in the burning
drift and lost it's life in the fire.
