W, WASHINGTON. Oct. I9.-The refusal
Of the brigands who abducted Miss Stone
originally fixed has led the administration
10 suspect that they have a representative
il New York who is advising them by ca
ble Ot the progress in raising the amount
demanded. Confident, as a result of the
representations OF the United States, that
they viii not be attacked by either the
Turkish or Bulgarian troops, the brigands
can quietly wait until the ransom has
been collected and is in the hands of Mr.
EDDY. secretary of the American legation

the production Of the captive.
One Government Concerned.
The authorities have been considerably
astonished by the frmness displayed by
the brigands in the negotiations Ordin-
ariIy q demand for ransom is made with
the expectation that smaller sum will
be offered, which will be acceptable. The
declination Of the brigands who kidnapped
Miss Stone 70 consider a smaller ransom
than that originally demanded is an in
dicaton OF the strength Of their belief
that they will not be attacked. at least
while they have Miss Stone in their pos
session, and II has led TO the suspicion
that they have agents who are keeping
Them well informed. as well as TO the sug-
gestion that one Of the governments con-
cerned is sympathetically interested in

Scalp Bounty a Heavy Expense.

Scalp bounty certificates to the amount
Of over $4,000 were received at the Office Of
the secretary Of state, In Salem, on Jan.
uary 10. The largest certificate was that
for SIIo6, issued by Harney county to a
Mr.. Dalton, Of Buns. This instrument
cer,ifies to the killing Of 400 coyotes and
63 wild cats. Up to the close Of the year
1900, scalp bounty warrants to the amount
OF SIoo, 900 had been issued. Since that
time the clerks In the office Of the secre.
tsry Of state have been too busy to issue
warrants Of any kind, and no record Of
any kind has been kept Of the aggregate
of certificates received. II Is estimated
that the total Is now near the $4,000
mark. Only about ten per cent Of this
amount has been paid into the scalp
bounty fund.-Numerous exchanges.

WHOLESALE HORSE STEALING.
Plan That Failed at Huntington-Many
Animals Drowned and Shot.

Animals Drowned and Shot.
There was quite sensation sprung the
fore part of the week. especially among
horsemen, over an incident that promises
TO bring to light some quite extensive
thieving operations on the range near
Weiser. II appears that last Saturday
night after dark carload of horses were
driven into the stock yards at Huntington
and an effort made to load and ship them
that night.
Officers at Huntington who were on the
lookout for stolen horses from certain
Oregon points, refused to permit the ship.
ment until the brands on the animals
could be examined, and they were locked
In the stock yards to await daylight, but
when the yards were visited in the morn.
ing It was found that the keys to the yard
had been obtained and the horses run off
into the hills to escape inspection.
A search was made and the horses were
found near Snake river, also five dead
horses were found In gulch where they
had been shot. The live animals were
rounded up and found to be Weiser horses,
bearing the brands of Tom Mackey, Jap
Griffith, Lansdon, Barnett Brothers, Yard.
ley, Steve Durbin and others. The own.
ers were at once notified and the stock re.
claimed.
The cause for killing the five horses In
the gulch is hard to explain. The ami.
mails were swum across the Snake 70

ton, while those in charge crossed In a
boat and It is surmised that possibly they
were taking two carloads and drowned so
many that on reaching the other side
found they had few more than one car
and shot the extras to get rid Of them and
have none on their hands after the car was
shipped.
II was very evidently the intention to
drive into Huntington In the night, load
and get out at once and pass Weiser be.
fore daylight and thus escape detection.
1t Is believed that this practice has been
carried on successfully prior to this at.
tempt, as many horses have disappeared
at divers times.
A Weiser party had engaged the
car for the horses, but 1t Is stated that he
had contracted with another party for the
delivery Of a carload at Huntington, and
knew nothing Of their being stolen, but
supposed they were coming from the
neighborhood Of Willow creek. 1t Is sig.
nificant that the party who had contracted
to deliver the horses had disappeared.-
