Next morning a platform was erect
ed before Brandon's hut. three-leg-
ged stool was placed upon this and
then the magistrates assistants clap
ped their hands and shouted "Hoi yo!
and a command TO the witnesses TO
Honor the Court" The sixty-one
prisoners were ranged in front of the
hut, and the magistrate walked along
the line, carrying European umbrel-
la over his head, while his assistants
were opening court. He frowned at
each prisoner in turn, then mounted
the platform and seated himself on
the three-legged stool.
Each of the prisoners, in addition to
being bound hand and foot, had rope
around his neck, and as his name was
called he would be pulled out of line,
thrown down and dragged by the neck
rope to a position in front of the
magistrate. He was compelled to
grovel while under examination, and
any attempt to raise his head would
be met with a blow upon it by a
bamboo staff in the hands of court
attendant.
Some of the prisoners, being MEM
bers of a secret society and bound by
oath, refused to testify. These recall
citrants the magistrate subjected TO
torture. They were thrown upon their
backs and bamboo poles inserted from
opposite sides over one leg and under
the other, the legs being tightly bound
at the ankles. While one court at
tendant held the wretch down. others
would throw their weight upon the
poles, causing him the most excruciat-
ing torture. The thongs which bound
him cut into his flesh and the bones
were fractured. If he still remained
obstinate, partial stranglation was re-
sorted to. Thongs were tightly drawn
around his throat and he was thrown
aside to suffocate. while the examina-
ton of another suspect was begun.
When ten of the suspects had sue
cumbed under torture one of the ma
tive miners made a, confession, in the
hope of meeting a more sudden death
This man was Brandon's cook. He told
of the miners fear that Brandon in
tended going to Tabovie for his white
men to punish the drunken miners. and
of a sudden decision by the native
workmen to kill him to prevent him
doing so.
He said that they had found the as
sistant superintendent asleep: that one
of them had killed him with bar Of
iron, and that each of the others has
then given him a knife thrust, so thai
all should be equally guilty and equal
ly concerned in keeping the identity
of the murderers secret. He named
the guilty men, as far as he could. dis
closing the identity of fifty of them.
One of these, a Chinese miner, had sug-
gested the murder, and he and the cook
were sentenced to be hacked to death
which sentence was carried out on the
spot by the court assistants and IN
sight of the other prisoners.
With the others named by the cook
the magistrate was more lenient." for
the reason that they had only struck
their knives in a man already dead.
So the merciful court decreed that they
should slowly be strangled to death
and they were, some of them so slow
ly that the end was prolonged for a
week.
All of the condemned bore their
punishment stoically, even those whose
relatives could not afford to Ray fol-
a speedy end to their sufferings.

ammunition were kept, and there ne re-
NAMED throughout the day. AT night
fall there was not a sober workman
within sound of Brandon's voice. Even
the cook of his mess had Joined In the
general spree, and the assistant super
intendent went supperless to his bunk
Several times during the early part OF
the night he got up and stood outside
the hut. and one of the natives has
since testified that the miners suspect
ed him of an intention to steal away
TO Taboyie get his white assistants to-
gether and return to punish them. He
had no chance to get away unobserved,
however, and at II o'clock turned in for
the night.
1t was late the next Afternoon before
the white men got back from Tabovie.
They found the mine deserted. Hurry
ing to the hut they found Brandon
stretched out dead upon the floor. HIS
body has been horribly mutilated.
There were no signs of a struggle In
the place, so it was presumed that the
drunken natives stole in upon him
while he was asleep and crushed his
skull with a blow. The stab wounds
and mutilation of the body were In
ficted in the bunk. and 1T now is
known that each of the natives en-
gagged in the raid jabbed his knife into
the dead man before leaving. The body
had been rolled out upon the floor to
enable the assassins to look behind II
for the assistant superintendent val.

the guns and revolvers and arnmunl-
ton had been taken.
Three of the white men started back
n Tabovie at once to get word OF the
crime out to the authorities, While the
other three remained in the camp &c
guard the body. Pending the return OF
their companions, the three who were
left in camp made good use of their
time in looking for evidence that
would fix the identity of the murder

YOUNGER BROTHERS
HOPE FOR PARDON

ST. Paul, Minn., May S.-Coleman
and james Younger. the most noted
convicts in the state prison at Still
water, yesterday won the first step to-
ward freedom from that institution. to
which they We're sentenced for life
over twenty-five years ago.
For twenty years their friends have
been working in their behalf, each gov
n pardon. The third brother, Bob, died
in the saltwater prison few years
ago. but the efforts for the liberation
of the now old men have never ceased.
Ten years ago n pardon board. COM
posed of the governor, attorney gener-
al and chief justice, was created. one
of the arguments In Its favor being the
relief 1t would give the chief executive
from the friends of the Youngers.
since then the pardon board has been
asked repeatedly to act favOrably on
applications for pardon for the Young
ers, but the required unanimous vote
could never be secured.
Two years ago a bill was presented
to the Legislature providing for the
parole of life prisoners. The bill was
passed by the Senate, but killed In the
House. This year similar bill. after
several hard encounters on the floor OF
the two houses. got through and secur-
ed the approval of Governor Van SAINT,
hut an amendment to it required the
unanimous approval Of the board OF
pardons before paroles Of life prison
ers could become effective.
The opponents of the Youngers let
the bill go through In this shape, be.
lieying nothing could come Of 1t. On.
der the provisions of this law the
board of prison managers yesterday
unanimously recommended the parole
of the Youngers. This recommended.
tlon will be at once presented to the
board of parlons. but none OF the
managers Of the board would say
whether a special meeting would be
called to consider the matter. The
next regular meeting will be held In
July. Before final action It would be
necessary to have the legality of the
two provisions OF the new law passed
upon.
Meantime the two surviving Young
ers are rejoicing over the hope Of ulti
mate release from their prison home.

weighing 800 pounds. The remainder
of the cargo is made up of specimens

hold, and have not eaten anything for
forty days. Captain Noyes says there
is an active volcano in the ocean at
Bankas bay, in the Galapagos group,
adding:
ut is gurning at the edge of the wa

Denver, Colo. May Son his way
to Washington TO oppose the Kansas
petition. Attorney General Post Of
Colorado stopped in Topeka, Kansas,
and secured a copy Of the brief pre-
pared by Attorney General A. A. God
ard Of that state. which he immedi-
ately mailed to Denver. Attorney
General GODDARD lays great stress on
the provisions Of the common law OF
riparian rights. Following are ex-
tracts from his brief:
.The question of the complninant's
right to the relief 1t seeks in this suit
is to be determined entirely by the
rules of common law, Irrespective OF
any customs, regulations or laws In
derogation thereof. The rules and
doctrines of the common law respect
ing the rights and remedies Of ripar-
ian owners have never been ebrogated
or in any manner modified by the state
of Kansas or Its Legislature. The conf
mon law hns been In force In both
Kansas and Colorado since long prior
to their admission into the Union.
The state of Colorado has never de-
rived from the United States nor from
any other source right OF exclusive
or unreasonable appropriation of the
purpose as against the state of Kan
sas or It's citizens, us riparian proprie-
tors. AS general proposition, every
riparian proprietor has natural and
equal right to the use Of water In n
stream adjacent to his land, without
diminution or alteration.
by the common law, the right OF
the riparian proprietor to the flow of
the stream is inseparably annexed 10
the soil and passes with 1t, not as an
easement or appurtenance, but rs part
and parcel of 1t. Use does not create
the right, and disuse cannot destroy or
suspend 1t. Where natural conditions
are such that the riparian proprietor is
permitted to make use of the stream
for the purpose of irrigation. and thus
by that use to divert portion of II.
1t is held that such diversion. under nj!
circumstances, must be n reasonable

of the water thus used must be re-

LABOR AND CAPITAL CONSULT
in REGARD TO ARBITRATION

New York, May S.-The speakers at
the meeting yesterday We're Samuel
Gompes, president OF the American
Federation of Labor: Bishop Potter,
John Mitchell, president OF the United
Mine Workers of America; Charles X.
Flint, president of the American Rub
ber Company; Daniel j. Keene of the
Illinois Board of Arbitration; William
II. Hayward, OF the National Associa-
tion OF Builders; James O'Connell,
president Of the International Asso-
citation Of Machinists, and Herman
Justi, commissioner Of the Illinois
Coal Operators Association.
Samuel Gompers presided, and in
opening the meeting. expressed the
hope that n new epoch had come in
the relations of labor and capital.
I'VE want iLdustrial peace, but not
at the sacrifice of any of the elements
of manhood" he said. "The increased
growth In the organization of labor
has brought greater responsibility
The work is going ahead actively,
however, and we are meeting our
problems In practical way. We are
dealing with living men and living wo-
men and living children, In the hope of
better things for all. The laboring
people Insist that they be regarded rs
something more than wage-earners,
They are men with rights, and hopes,
and aspirations, and love"
He expressed the belief that the plan
of conciliation should be aided by ev-
cry man who was against strife and
for peace. He said the unions sought
to do injustice to no man, but were
formed TO conserve the rights Of those
who formed them.
Bishop Potter expressed his gratiti
cation ut the growth of the spirit OF
Cancellation. He noted growth of in
telligence and n-mindedness among
workmen, and said that upon 1t coult
be built the highest hope for the fu
ture. He added that mt the same time
there was greater Interest manifest
