FUGITIVE IS KILLED.

Last of Glasgow, Mont, jail
breakers IL Fatally Shot.

Glasgow, Mont, June 22.-News has
reached this city that James McKiA-
ney, the last of the Glasgow fugitives
who broke Jail June 6, was shot to
death Tuesday night after he had
made an Intellectual attempt to kill
Miss Darnell, who had discovered the
outlaw hiding in her fathers ice house.
Following the battle in the Bad Lands
Monday evening between Sheriff Cos
ner's posse and the outlaws, Hardee
and Mckinney, the posse continued the
pursuit of Mckinney and tracked him
to the Darnell ranch, eight miles from
Glasgow. Tuesday evening one Of
DarnelPs daughters went to the ice
house and, noticing that things were
not exactly right, called for her IA
Their. Mckinney saw them coming
and attempted to use his rife. The
mechanism OF the gun stuck, and be-
fore he could get 1t in working order
Darnell grabbed another rifle and shot
the outlaw, who died three hours later.
Mckinney is the third one of the
four prisoners who participated in .
general break from the Glasgow jail
on June to meet violent death, and
their escape has cost five lives-Jack
Williams and Charles Hill, officers, and
William Hardee, James Mckinney and
Jack Brown, the latter being lynched
in this city on Thursday night.

COLOR LINE OBSOLETE.
LAdies' Gallery of the National
House of Representatives.,

During the last few days of the
late session of congress the ladies'
gallery" in the house was opened to
negroes. This has never happened be-
fore, and its occurrence at this time,
when the negro question is so prom
incnt in the newspapers, is considered
significant.
The gallery in question is the one to
the left of the press gallery. 1t is re-
served for ladies' and their csc orts, and
when the gallery is not full men Of
respectable appearance who have no La
dies with them are sometimes admit
ted. Negroes, however. have never
been admitted.
In some way it had apparently be-
come known among the negroes of
Washington that the ban had been
taken off, so far as this gallery is con-
cerned, and they have been patroniz-
ing II very extensively. Many Of them
have come without bringing women
with them. Parties of three and four
have been visiting the gallery.

BATTLE WITH INDIANS.
News of Desperate Fight DetweeA
Former and Cattlemen In

Hclbrook, Ariz., June 22.-News
reached here of desperate battle be-
tween cattlemen on the Apache Indian
reservation, ten miles south of Hol-
brook, in which Henry Barrett was
killed and Prime Coleman was prob
ably fatally wounded. Both are prom
inent cattlemen and have lived In
Apache county for many years. Only
meager reports are obtainable, but
it appears that the men became in
volyed in dispute over their respec-
tive grazing permits on the reserves
ton, which are only issued at certain
times in the year and are Of consider
able value, only limited number Of
cattle being allowed on the reserva-
ton. A duel with six-shooters fol-
lowed, in which Barrett received three
wounds in the abdomen, from which
he died within few minutes after the
shooting Coleman was shot through
both thighs and was also badly bruised
about the head by blows from Bar
rett's six-shooter. Coleman Yves still
alive at last report, but there is very
little hope for his recovery.

TRADE REVIEW.
Many Signs of Further
Progress.

New York, June 22.-Bradstreet's
says: Evidence multiplies that the
second week of June saw the turning
point for the better in crop, trade
and labor matters. Improvement in
these lines, continued and acceler-
ated by the weather of the past week,
has begun to be reflected in actual
demand at the west and south, and
although cool, rainy weather is still
q drawback at the east, many signs
OF progress in the right direction are
noticed. Northwestern advices are,
OF course, largely favorable, and the
same is true on the Pacific coast.
Cereal prices favor holders, not, as
heretofore, because of feared domes-
tic crop damage, but because of ex-
pected increased foreign necessities.
Some drawbacks are, of course, to
be noted. Pig iron and steel are
weaker; buying is still slow and pro-
duction Is at an enormous rate"

uncertainty as to the future course
OF prices of iron and steel products
has become generally acknowledged,
and even experts in the industry hes

wounds in their heads early Friday,

an account of the assault or tell who
committed it. The girl, it is believed,
will die, but the boy has chance for
recovery. An unknown negro was ar

the crime, but beyond suspicion there
is nothing to connect him with the
assault. He is being held pending in-
