latter considered himself insulted by
the blow received and reported the
affair to the court of honor, which
decided that a duel was unavoidable,
whereupon Lieutenant Hildebrand
challenged Lieutenant Blaskowitz. The
latter, however, unconscious of what
had occurred while he was Intoxicated,
went to Eylau the next day to attend
a party held at the house of a young
lady whom he was to marry on the
following day. When a telegram e
calling him to meet Hildebrand was
received, Blaskowitz wanted to settle
the matter with an apology, but the
highest officials of the brigade and
division sanctioned the finding of the
court of honor, that a duel was neces-
sary, and it ended in the manner al
ready detailed.
Newspapers of all shades of opinion
express amazement at the action Of the
court of honor. Even the conserva-
tive papers regard the action Of the
court as being incomprehensible. It
is expected that the case will come be-
fore the reichstag.

Justice.
Yesterday morning at about 10
O'Clock Officers Taylor and Hayden
received a copy Of a dispatch from
the sheriff of Cody, Wyo., to look out
for Bert Edwards, as he was wanted.
The telegram gave a description of
Edwards and stated that he had left
Cody about the sixth of last month in
company with a woman and that at
the time of his departure had a brown
pocketbook containing about 5000 in
cash, a check for $3.50 and also a post
office money order for a considerable
sum issued by the p%ostofice at Their
mopolis. Both the check and money
order were said to have been drawn
in favor of Orrin H. Wood.
In less than two hours after receiv-
ing the information the officers pick
ed up their man and placed him in
Jail, notifying the Cody officers of the
arrest. The woman was not arrested,
as apparently no charge exists against
her.
What the nature of the charge
against Edwards is the officers do not
know, but the presumption is that he
took the check and money order.

IN NO SENSE A new TRIAL
CAPT. CARTER MATTER EXPLAIN.
Ed TO CABINET.

Washington, Nov. 8.-The cabinet
meeting today developed the fact that
there exists an entire misapprehen-
sion regarding the legal proceedings
which are to take place in Chicago in
the case of Oberlin M. Carter who
was convicted, by a military court
martial, of ~embezzlement and sentenc-
ed to a term in the penitentiary at
Leavenworth, Kas.
Attorney General Knox explained to
the president and cabinet today that
Captain Carter was not to be given a
new trial before Judge Kohlsatt as
has been enormously reported. The
government has attached about $780,.
900 worth of property belonging to
Captain Carter and the question which
will be tried before Judge Kohlsatt re-
lates only to the title to that property.
Incidentally, of course, the question of
Captain Carter's conviction by the
military court will be raised, but At
torney General Knox told the cabinet
that it was in no n a new trial of
Captain Carter's case before a civil
tribunal. Attorney General Knox
said that with the $4,000 which the
government will recover the total
amount restored to the government
viii foot up to over half a million dol
lars.

GIVES EVIDENCE IN HIS OWN
BEHALF.
NET M'KENzE in SEATTLE
First Met Robert Chips In Washing
ton-Was Introduced as
Mining Man.

San Francisco, Nov. 9.-Arthur H.
Noyes, judge of the district court at
Nome, and one of the respondents in
the Nome contempt proceedings was
"a witness today before United States
Commissioner Heacock. He was on
examination. In references to his ap-
pointment as a Judge for Alaska,
Judge Moves testified that he had the
endorsement Of Senators Cushman K.
Davis, Hansbrough, McComber and
Spooner, and leading citizens of Wis
consin and Minnesota. Asked if he
believed the statement of Attorney
Hume that Mckenzie told him he
spent 100000 in having the witness
appointed judge and that he paid his
railroad and steamship fare to Nome,
Noyes says he did not think Mcken-
zie made such a statement. Moves
never travelled a mile at McKenZie's
expense and Mckenzie " spent a
dollar so far as he knew, in securing
his appointment as judge in Alaska.
Judge Noyes told of meeting Nc
Kenzie in Seattle a day or two after
his arrival. He knew Mckenzie in
business in Alaska as he was interest
ed in a patent pumping machine in
tended to pump water out of the Ber-
ing sea.
Asked as to when he first met
Robert Chips, who was a witness in
the Dudley Duboise contempt case,
and gave damaging testimony against
| Noyes and Mckenzie, the witness
said that in Washington, Chips was
introduced to him as a mining man OF
Alaska. He also saw Chips in Seat
tie before his departure for Nome
The witness then went into the story
| of his arrival at Nome. Everyone had
a grievance, and nearly everyone had
or would soon file a suit over mining
claims.
When adjournment was taken Judge
Noyes had not reached the matters at
issue in the present proceedings.

MORE BROUGHT BACK DEAD
THAN ALIVE.
FARMERS AFTER REWARD
Warden McCIugerty Believes Every
Convict Will Be Re-
turned.

Leavenworth, Kas., Nov. S.-Five of
the rs convicts who escaped from the
stockade of the new federal prison
here yesterday afternoon have been
accounted for. Three of the five are
dead. They are James Hoffman, aged
20, white; J. J.. Poffenholz, aged rs,
white, a soldier convict; John Freen,
aged Fl, white. The fourth, Willard
Drake, white, aged 10 years, is wound
ed and recaptured and the fifth, Fred
Moore, aged 16, a negro, is recaptured
unhurt.
The five men were discovered in
the barn of Fay Weiner, a quarter OF
a mile from Nortonville, Kan, this
afternoon. Weiner went into the barn
and was covered by guns and order
ed out. He rushed to Nortonville and
gathered a wagon load of men who,
with revolvers, shotguns and a few
Winchestes fastened to the scene.
The ~convicts saw the men coming and
rushed from the barn. They had two
shotguns and revolvers. The posse
pursued them and a runnign duel re-
suited. The convicts were at a disad-
vantage and their shots had no effect,
while at every volley from the posse
one of the convicts fell.
After two of them fell two of the
others gave themselves up, n being
wounded, the other unhurt. The fifth
was fully 200 yards away when a man
with a Winchester drew a bead on
him and fired. He as evidently hit
hard but tried to go on A volley was
then fired at him and he fell dead.
None of the citizens were hurt.
Reports come from various points
today of the arrest of men supposed
to be fugitive convicts but one of the
suspects has been identified. The old
est of the fugitives is aged %.
Ford Quinn, who was killed yester
day was ~.
One of the convicts still at large is
a military prisoner and the remainder
were serving terms for robbery or as
sault. One is an Indian and two are
negroes. Nearly all came from Okla
homa and Indian Territory and they
are supposed to be making for thai
country. They r hardy men, used
to firearms and horses. Some have
obtained both but others are afoot ant
defenseless. Warden McClugherty
says he will capture every n of thu
men. In the districts around the city
every road and river crossing that thu
fugitives might be expected to us'
is guarded by armed men, the farmer'
having turned out to carr the $50 re
ward that will be paid for the return
of each convict. Those of the me-
who are armed are likely to be sho
on sight.
