THE CUBAN SUGAR TARIFF.
Further Testimony Before the Sen.
ate Committee.

Washington, May 14.-Emanuel Rion-
da, raw sugar buyer, was again before
the senate committee on relations with
Cuba today. He said his firm had con-
tracts with many Cuban plantations for
their sugar and had advanced money
to planters. If the planters sold to any
n else the firm would get a commits
sion. The bill passed by the house
would wipe out the countervailing duty,
he said, and would tend to stop sugar
refining in this country. Germany
would be the sugar producer of the
world and Cuba, Porto Rico and Haw-
allan sugar would be injured.
Hayward G.. Leavitt, president of the
Standard Beet Sugar Company of Leav-
lit, Neb., said the refineries received ali
the benefit Of the countervailing duty
and would receive all the benefit of con-
cessions to Cuba. He thought the Ell
feet Of the action of the Brussels con-
ference would be to restore normal con
ditions in sugar producing which would
benefit Cuba England would begin to
refine again and make a market for ~
ban sugar.

The NOBLE RED MIN
HELPS UNCLE TOM
Hn Indian UnduIv Excited
Pulled his Gun on Simon
L60r66.

ONAWA, IOWA, Nov. 17.-Red
Blackbird, an Omaha Indian, came
across the Missouri River to celebrate
today in Onawa. He drank enough
o Prohibition firewater to make him
adyeDturesome, and went to the opera
house, where cur ncle Toms Cabin" was
on the boards. He occupied seat near
the front and watched the scenes with
interest.
When Simon Legree came on the
stage and cracked Uncle Tom with his
whip, Blackbird resented the unwar-
ranted attack, and rose in his seat with
a whoop, calculating unintelligible Ki-
vi talk. He swung his revolver about
his head, and finally shot couple OF
bullets over the stage.
The actors slid behind the furniture,
and the audience began to jump over
the seats. The Town Marshal and sew
erai assistants overpowered the Indian,
but by this time the redsk;n had prac-
tically undisputed possession of the
house.

OREG0N'S RANGE
WAR CONTINUES
Cattemen Drive Flock OF Sheep
Into a Corral and Kill Them
With Deliberati0n.

PENDLETON, Ore, Nov. 17.-When
J. NJ. Cameron and his herders were
bringing a large band of sheep off
summer range, on Buckhorn Mountain
into winter feeding quarters in the
Lost Valley country, between Pendle-
ton and Prinville, 200 head myster-
iously disappeared from the band and
no trace of them could be found. The
missing animals have just been dis
covered. Butchered, their throats cut
and their carcasses riddlNd with shot.
155 of them lay on the hillside around
the corral
There is no clew to the assailanr
stockmen or "rustlers." A herder
named Ladiges, who was bringing S.
B. Barker's band home from Grant
into Gillian county, made the discov-
cry, accidentally passing the corral
where the slaughter had taken place.
j. M. Cameron has lost more than 800
sheep this year in Oregon's stern range
war. 1t is now so late in the season
that all of the sheep are out Of the
mountains and this is probably the
last sacrifice for this year on the altar
of the stockmen's hate.

Jones Married Much
And is Now in Jail

ERIN, Tex. Nov I.-Arch Jones,
who was indicted by the Houston coun-
ty grand jury last week on the charge
of bigamy, is said to have nine wives
scattered throughout Ohio, Indiana,
Kentucky and Tennessee.
Three of his alleged wives appeared
before the grand jury last week, one
of whom lives in this county, and
whose maiden name was Ross; one
from Greenbrikr, Robertson County,
who was formerly a Miss Carter, and
one from Kentucky, whose name was
Hays prior to her marriage to Jones.
Jones married Miss Ross about four
years ago, but left her. He returned to
this county a few weeks ago for the
purpose, as his wife thought, of steal
ing away her year-old child. This led
her to look into Jones's actions, which
brought about his Indictment and ar
rest. Jones is now in Jail, where he
is likely to remain until the April
term of the Circuit Court 1t is said
that each of Jones nine wives has a
boy child.

TRRGI6 EVIDENCE
The Skeletons OF a Couple OF Mi
ners and the Crude Tools OF the
Graft Found at the SHAFT 5
Bottom.

Ell PASO, Tex, Nov. 17.-R. B.
Watkins, mining man from southern
Sonora lis in this city on his way east.
Mr.. Watkins tells of most remark
able discovery that has recently been
made about thirty miles from lhe
boundary line OF the State.
Near an old trail that is still In use
there has been found a mine which
must have been worked many years
ago. At the bottom of shaft lOO feet
in depth there has been uncovered a
three-foot vein of free milling gold ore
that runs from $50 to $50.
The property has been re-locaIeh
by parties from Hermosillo. Sonora,
and plans have been perfected to clear
out the old diggings and work the mine
on large scale.
The remarkable part of the discoV-
cry canters in the fact that the mine is
situated near well-beaten track that
is travelled almost daily. Again, the
bodies or rather the skeletons, OF two
men were found in the workings. Tne
skulls in both instances, were crushed
in, and there was every indication
that they had been killed.
The singular part of the incident
was that the ladders for descending
the shaft had been destroyed. It was
evident that the man or men who had
committed the murders had broken
down the ladders as they made their
ascent. so as to prevent any one from
going down into the mine and discoy-
ering the crime.
MIR. Watkins adds that nothing was
found from which it could be ascer-
tanned how long ago the killing occur
red, and the identity or the national
ity of the persons killed could not be
learned. However, there were some
remnants of clothing left that showed
thatgthe articles were of Mexican man
ufacture, and the few tools and effects
found belonged to the country. An
examination of the records of the mu-
nicipality furnished no information as
to who the former ownkrs. of the
property were, and nothing can be
gathered concerning the murderers or
tn victims.
Mr.. Watkins while not interested
in the mine, visited it and saw the re-
mains of the miners. He says the prop
erty gives indications of being one of
the most valuable in that section, and
is sure was being woEked at the time
the killing took place
