Blood stains showed that Cortexs horse was about exhausted and unable to jump. About 10 o'clock the pursuing party found the lktle brown mare that Cor tez had been riding. She was badly fagged. Cortez's trail then led Into a dense thicket covering hundreds of acres. No trails were found leading from there and the bandit Is supposed to be hiding in the thicket. A large posse headed by Sheriffs Avanf, Kim sel and others arrived here this after noon by train and left for this thiclxek

brought out by the examination of
Admiral Higginson.
AS the head of a court Of inquiry
Dewey is showing himself to be the
same prompt, decisive acting man that
he has proved himself to be when
engaged in battle with the enemy. He
realizes the Importance of the duty
devolving upon him and is determined
to discharge it to the best of his abil-
ity and without fear or favor. But in
doing this he only strengthens the es-
TEEN and regard in which he is held
by the people of the land and shows
himself to be the Dewey the people
have learned to respect and admire
for the many admirable qualities he
possesses both as a man and an Of

Clad in the latest creation Of the
s~artorial artist and with a care for
detail of dress suggestive of recent
association with John Mcguire, 1.-THE
Tipperary Dude" Colonel S. Gordon
of the Yellowstone Journal gracefully
sided into The Gazette's thought lab
ratory yesterday and warmed the chill
atmosphere with the geniality of his
presence and gloom dispelling smile.
1t is seldom that the colonel finds
his way to "A1ka1i Flat" but despite
che infrequency Of his visit and the
occasional tart little things he tosses
off concerning it's people and growing
greatness, he is always welcome and
the sting is forgotten because Of the
absence of malice or envy and the
knowledge that much which he says
is prompted by enthusiastic devotion
and answering loyalty to his own
charming Milesville.

Hanna Has No Plan.

Cleveland, Sept. Ex-senator Hanna
declared today that he had been mis-
understood when he refused to dis
cuss the policy of President Roose-
welt a few days since, and that while
he then did not feel disposed to ex-
press an opinion on the subject, he
did not mean to imply that he would
never again talk for publication. IF
President Roosevelt carries out his
promise" said MI. Hanna, "to on
tinue the policy adopted by President
Mckinley, he will have my warm sup
port, as we'll as that of every other
loyal republican"
Asked if he thought congress would
take any action looking toward the
suppression of anarchy, Mr.. Hanna
said he thought something would be
done at the coming session, although
personally he had not formulated any
definite line of action.
Mr.. Hanna said he expected to make
a number of speeches during the
| coming state campaign.

Was All a Bluff.

Washington, Sept. 23.-The United
States consul at Colon has advised
the department of state. under date
of the 9th instant, that on the third
% September he, received, through the
Alcade of Colon, an open letter from
the insurgent commander giving the
date Of a contemplated prompt at
tack on Colon, which letter was the
same night sent to the officer COM
manding the United States ship
Machias. The consul was informed
that identical notes had been left at
the Alcade's office for the consular
officers of Great Britain, France and
Spain. .
The consul replied to the letter of
the insurgent commander notifying
him that any interference on his part
with the free transit of goods and
persons across the isthmus of Pana-
ma would be a violation of the treaty
| rights of the United States and that
if he should attempt such interference
the United States would act accord:
ingly. The consul added that any
| obstruction of free access to the Pan
/ anna railroad station at Colon from
any of the docks or any obstruction Of
the main street of Colon to the Pan
anna railroad station, and any act o.
insurgent forces rendering such &C
cess dangerous would be regarded a:
an interference with the free transf
referred to.
The government sent a small mum
her of troops to Gatun and Colon ant
the insurgents decamped.

Toatone for all the venomously ma

made against President Mckinley

a few spare moments in the same di-

DECLARES 1T BAD LAW.

And still the war against the gamD
ling law goes on. The men who think
they should be permitted to back their
ability to rightfully guess the Sc
ouence in which the pasteboards will
emerge from the little, nickle-plated
box and to risk their money on the
relative value of hands dealt in a
poker game have girded their loins
and are preparing to attack the en-
envy in a new direction. At Butte a
lawyer has been found who thinks the
law is unconstitutional and proposes
to fight it along those lines. He has
been engaged as counsel by a man
who was arrested some time ago for
| being the managing editor of a Joint
in which cards were played for money.
Upon his advice the gentleman who
was the presiding genius of the estab-
lishment of the green covered tables
entered a plea of not guilty. OF course,
his mere asseveration of innocence
was not taken by the court as
gospel truth impossible of refutation
and the accused was required to fur
nish the usual security for his appear
ance. This occurred several weeks
ago.
Nows comes his attorney with a
lengthy notice directed to the court in
which he intimates that the lower
court is not the only n having juris
diction and that there are other courts
of more exalted degree and greater
authority and that before any bust
ness is done with the inferior the su
perior will be given an opportunity tt
> do a little guessing. The attorney
: whose name is Denny, although tn
last syllable may be changed when tn
proceedings are ended, has notified
the lower court that he intends to az
ply to the supreme court for a writ Q
- prohibition. AS a. sort of prop to tn
notice is an affidavit of the defendan
setting forth that the prosecution il

is the faith of the gambling fraternit

CONTEMPTUOUS Beers.

The Beers down in South Africa are
evidently guilty of contempt. They
pay no heed to Kitchener's proc1arla-
ton that the war is ended and cor
tinue to hold the stage for an occas-
ional turn" much to the amusement
of the audience. They are shipping as
actively as ever and by way Of var
iety take in an occasional British com
mand. along with it's guns, and then
retire for the next number in which
they may appear. Unless something
more effective than proclamation is
brought into play it is not among the
impossibilities to figure en- a battle
somewhere in the ye1dt as a feature
of coronation day, Notwithstanding
that Edward is credited with the hope
that the war may be ended when that
festal occasion transpires, The fact
that nothing has been said calculated
to show that the Beers are ccntimu-
ing their old practice Of lIherating
prisoners as soon as caught and re-
stored to liberty the company Of Brit
ish they captured last week, makes
it appear that they propose to resort
to reprisals should Kitchener carry
out his announced intention of indis-
criminatingly shooting all rebels"
caught in arms after the date he fixed
for the official ending of the war.

TRIBUTE OF FREEMEN.

Unattended by any of the pomp and

the funerals of the rulers of the old
world powers a mighty nation has
paid it's last sad honors to the one
who was lately it's head and foremost
which is a characteristic Of the state
funeral of the crowned head entered
into the %obsequies of the dead pres1-
dent. There was no edict enforcing
a display of sorrow hat by many
was not felt and there was no proc
lamation from the seat of power com
polling a suspension of ordinary pur'
suits and exhibitions of mourning. It.
is true a proclamation was issued by
the new president, but it was a re-
quest. a suggestion of what he
thought was fitting to be done in the
time of the nations grief. But what
could not be enforced by royal degree
was offered spontaneously from the
hearts of millions of freemen,' and
sorrow as great as is possible for the
human heart to feel and grief as deep
and profound as ever weighed down
the human mind were manifested all
over the land. In every place where
a few could assemble there they met
for the purpose Of showing he'll re-
spect for the fallen leader and to d
their tribute to that which a loyal
and patriotic people were at that NOM
ent paying in every city and hamlet
in the land. Never before has the
world beheld a spectacle more I'M
posing or a tribute more touching.
Simple, dignifed were the obsequies
of Mckinley, even as simple and dig
niiea had been his life. The n was
a fitting memorial of the other and
in it's impressiveness of simplicity
presented to the world a picture that
will not soon be forgotten and gave a
lesson in patriotism that must awaken
anew the flames of the fire that burns
in the breast of everyone who loves
his country and add strength to the
zeal which marks the devotion of the
patriot. To those of foreign lands
