Some Pistol Practice.

Marshal Schaffer, assisted by
John Brown and Vim Bush, took
in a trio Of crap-shooters Thurs
days The crooks, who gave the
names of Ed. Meyers and W. M.
Kibble, colored, and E. P. Still
well, white, were in a box car
near the Santa Fe depot. When
ordered to submit to arrest the
two negros made a bolt from the
car, and upon being ordered to
halt, attempted to "Tracyize"
the officer by opening five with
pistols. The marshall kept them
ins sight and sent one of his as
sistants after a rifle; but the
gang was overhauled and put
under arrest about a mile west
of the stock yards.
They had their trial before
Justice Jennison Tuesday after
noon on charge of feloneous
assault. All plead guilty, and
the white boy who did not resist
arrest, was fined $40 and costs.
The two colored fellows who did
the Tracy act got a sentence of
$40 each and costs. All were sent
to the county jail, being unable
to pay out.
LATER-One of the black men
paid up, Wednesday, and hit the
road.

Back waters cen ing out into Dry
Walnut from the Wet Walnut, has
been flooding farms in the valley the
past few days. The damage done
was where Alfalfa hay was still in
shock or on tho ground, and where
the water remained standing fer some
days. A large part of the old Hossack
place was under water, Reg Russsll's
house being surrounded by depth
of one foot to eighteen inches. All
the lower lands east of town got q
good soaking. These flood waters
came from heavy rains up in Rush,
Ness and Lane counties-the head of
the Walnut valley.

THE OFFICERS RELEASED

The Cell in Which They Were Confined

Venice. May 2.--The pardon granted by
King Victor Emanuel to the officers of the
United States cruiser Chicago, who have
been imprisoned here, arrived this morning
and the prisoners viii be released without
delay.
In an interview with a representative of
the Associated Press the imprisoned Of
ficers warmly repudiated the reports that
they were under the influence of wine at
the time Of the trouble, and said that on
the contrary they were absolutely sober.
Lieutenant John S. Doddndge remarked:
After the accidental upsetting of a table
in a cafe by myself and companion at IL
O'Clock at night we were followed and at
tackled by mob, and two municipal police
men appeared on the scene. ] with my
open hand motioned to the crowd to keep
Off. The police then seized us but the
mob continued so threatening that our
brother officers and marine who happened
10 be on the piazza ran to our rescue. We
acted only in self-dcfense and against a
large, hostile crowd. We did not strike the
police. Doubtless misunderstanding of the
two languages had something to do with
the trouble. We have been allowed to re.
main together in prison, but the room in
which we have been confined swarmed with
insects"
Venice, May 2.-The American naval or
fcers have been released.

Washington, May 3.--Although the con

Ing Of the full committee. The house
proposition, according TO the best infOrma-

the senate, aud this. Of course, WI not be
agreed to by the senate members.
Just now much they will ask for Is not
certain. but it is generally believed that
they will not be willing to make any ina
tcrlal concession. Their Imposition vi
probably be submitted TO the full commit
tee at the meeting TO be held tomorrow
and after discussing It the committee may
adjourn for several days on account o.
the prospective absence of Representative
Reeves.
The general opinion seems to be tina
The chances are against an agreement beini
