In the meantime, however, Deputies
Davis and Hackney had started for
Newcastle overland, carrying the bod
les of Miller and Falkenburg. they ar
rived at 1870 O'Clock this morning,
bringing the first authentic news OF
the battle.
Black Kettle Murderer.
They said that it was the belief that
Back Kettle was the man who shot
Sheriff Miller. If so he expiated the
crime almost instantly. AS soon as
possible after the receipt OF the news
of the fight ex-Sheriff John Ovens OF
Newcastle, a Noted Indian fighter and
scout, organized a posse Of cowboys
and left post haste to cut off the re-
treat of the surviving Indians to the
Rosebud agency. The five or six that
escaped headed in that direction.
Third Sheriff to Die Violently.
In addition to a widow, Sheriff Mil
Ter leaves two children. He is the
third sheriff to be murdered in the
past five years. Sheriff Joe Hazen
of Converse county having been killed
by the Wilcox train robbers and Sher-
if Charlie Kicker Of Natrona county

was a trapper and was widely known
for his skill in catching wolves, which
were a pest in Weston county.
Second Battle.
Late this afternoon Governor Chat
terton was advised by the authorities
of Lusk that a second battle mad taken
place between Sheriff McDermott, o i
the posse in pursuit of the Indians

east of the scene OF Saturdays bat

Ten Indians Dead.
Ten Indians are reported killed and
nine captured. None of the posse
we're injured. No confirmation Of this
report has been received, but many
ugly rumors are atioat. Governor
Chatterton is Investigating and il the
situation is as serious as reported
from Lusk he will order out one n
possibly two companies Of infantry.
Reports from private sources indicate
that the Indians are gathering in large
numbers between the Cheyenne river
and Rosebud agency and further trou-
BILE is anticipated.
Indians Massing.
Couriers who came into Lusk this
afternoon say they heard SOUNDS of a
battle in the vicinity of Horseshoe
creek, and also bring a report confirm.
ing the story that the Indians are
massing for a big fight. 1t is said the
redmen are greatly incensed over the
act of the Weston county authorities
in taking their squaws and children
from them and that these proceedings
really brought on the trouble. Now
that a number of the Indians have
been killed the warriors are in no
| pleasant frame of mind. The young
bucks are in favor of taking the war
path Immediately, while the older
neads counsel for caution.

wARsHIP MAY BRING TREATY.
President Is Anxious for Quick Return
Of Panama Measure.

Washington, Dee. 5.-Secretary Hay
had a talk with the president today
about the developments on the 18TH
mus of Panama. Secretary Moody
dropped in while the subject was under
consideration. AS result of the con-
ference, it is possible that one of the
United States warships now at Colon

nal treaty, ratified yesterday at Pan
anna, to the United States.
The authorities here have decided
that it was proper to facilitate in every
way the conclusion of the treaty, and,
influenced in some measure by the urg-
ings of the Panama representatives
here, cabled instructions to United
States Consul General Gudger to assist
in all proper ways in the dispatch of
the treaty on its return to Washington.
This is the explanation of the consul
generals conduct in confding the
treaty to Rear Admiral Walker for con-
veyance across the isthmus from Pana-
ma to Colon. The treaty should reach
Washington in the ordinary course
about December 15.

BLOW To WARS.
Active Move on Foot for an Anglo. Amer.
ican Arbitration.

Washington, Dec. 5.-The awaken.
ing throuhgout the United States of a
popular sentiment, which it is hoped
will develop into a national demand
for an arbitration treaty between the
United States and Great Britain, was
the object of gathering today at the
residence of General John w. Foster,
ex-secretary of state. 1t is understood
the movement has the hearty approval
Of the president. Among those present
today were Admiral Dewey, General
Miles, Wanye McVeagh, Thomas Nell
son Page, Clifford Pinchot, Senator
Proctor, General H. V. Boynton and D.
G. Gilman.
Regarding the scope of the plan,
which is to be pushed vigorously, in
the hope OF securing at an early date
the conclusion Of an arbitration treaty,
following the general lines of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty of 1897, the Associ-
ated Press is authorized to make this
statement:
"In April, 1896, a notable confer
ence of the friends of international ar
bitration was held in Washington, at
tended by prominent and representa-
tive citizens from all parts of the
United States. That conference de-
clared in favor of an arbitration treaty
between the United States and Great
Britain, and it was followed in Janu-
ary, 1897, by the signing of such a
treaty by Secretary Hay and Sir Julian
Pauncefote. The treaty, by a close
vote, failed to receive the two-thirds
majority required for its ratification.

GET TIMBER CHEAP
Rich Tract Near Bend Goes to an Fast

Salem-0ne of the largest deeds ever
executed by the state land board was
issued few days ago when 1888
acres of land were conveyed by single
instrument to the A. ]. Dwyer pine
land company, of st. Paul, Minn. The
land is in the Deschutes pine belt.
southwest of Bend. The consideration
of the transaction is sl9,Sl7, or $l.25
per acre.
The purchase was made in 1898,
when the price of lieu land was $1.25
per acre. AS the land was selected be-
fore any extensive buying had been
done in that region, this is probably
the best of the Deschutes pine lands,
and was secured at an exceeding low
price, especially in view of the advance
in the value of timber lands in the last
Ave years.
In the original purchase 81 ertif-
Gates of sale were issued to as many
different persons, and all these were
later assigned to the Dywer company.

FOR JOINT ACTION.
Matter Of an international Hatchery Is
Brought Up Again.

Washington, Dec. 5.--The secretary
Of state today advised Senator Foster
that he would. in accordance with his
late request, and on recommendation Of
Fish Commissioner Bowers, extend to
the Canadian minister Of marine and
fisheries and representatives OF the fish
cries department Of British Columbia,
an invitation to meet with representa-
tives Of the fish commission OF the
state Of Washington and Of the United
States and consider the long pending
| proposition OF establishing an interna-
tional salmon hatchery on Fraser river,
British Columbia.
Commissioner Bowers has all along
taken the position that it will be inn
practicable TO attempt to operate a
joint hatchery controlled by both gov
ernments, but is willing to do most
anything that will promote the salmon
industry Of Puget Sound. He makes
it plain, however, that official infor-
nation in his possession indicates that
the Canadian and British Columbian
associates are not fayorably inclined
toward the establishment Of a hatch
cry in conjunction with the state Of
Washington, statements by Commits
sioner Kershaw, Of Washington, to the
contrary Notwithstanding.
Secretary Hay intends at an early
day to extend an invitation to the
Canadian officials through the British
embassy in this city, and if the invita-
tion is accepted, it is expected that the
prolonged discussion Of conflicting
rights Of the Puget Sound and British
Columbian fishermen may be finally
adjusted.

CHAPTER XVIII.

Helen Montauban looked forward tC
Paris. This journey, so long-this long
er delay, fretted her already tortured
spirit. She had scarcely believed at FIRST
that she should need patience to support
her in the carrying out Of her dark reso-
lution--she, the calm, firm, lf-possessed
and self-reliant! She had prepared her.
self for long waiting, Cor daily endurance,
while awaiting the coming Of day which
was to bring her full recompense for past
agony. But even she had not sufficient
strength of will to bear her through with.
out a terrible struggle, to enable her to
maintain her customary manner, to keep
her from betraying the fierce and con-
stant misery which she endured. For she
was always with them, from morning till
night; compelled to witness happiness
which had wrecked her own. All this
was harder than she had imagined II
would be, and Ii became a daily torture.
She must meet her cousin Louis as she
was wont, before the knowledge of her
own fate-of rivals triumph, was given
her. Still, he called her his sweet cousin
his beautiful cousin Helen-and sat by
her, talking Of thousand plans for the
future-his future and that OF Rose-and
made her his confdant as Of old, stinging
her to the heart with his innocent, hap
py, unconscious words, and she must bear
II. He talked 70 her OF hi, ben-tifui
bride-elect.
"You are her sister, dear Helen" he
would say; "take care Of her, cherish her
for me, till the right Is yielded up to me
till you give 1t up to me, cousin"
"Yes-yes; l will take care of her-I
will take care Of her" answered Made
moisele Montauban. Her countenance
was concealed from Louis; he could not
see how white she was; be did not mark
the shudder that passed over her frame;
he knew not that the small hand with
drawn from his affectionate clasp was
firmly clenched and cold as marble. But
a feeling of deadly sickness stole over
her; her head whirled; the agony OF that
moment was awful.
And Rose, too-our fair, innocent, con-
fiding Rose-daiiy and hourly was with
her, constantly, not alone by her words
and acts, but by her very presence itself,
implanting in Helen Montauban's heart
many a thorn that ranked deeply--sore-
ly. But she preserved the old demeanor;
she schooled herself to her part till it
was perfect; and Rose never dreamed
that the gentle kiss she gave was the
kiss of murderess-that the heart upon
which her loving head was laid, in her
girlish condolences, was even then filled
with the blacklist, bitterest hatred, which
drove out every other emotion aud that
she was the object of that hatred.

This decision permits the MarsteYs

the remaining 2,400 acres will be sold
at auction. As the land is not sur.

required to waive all claim to recover
the purchase price if the title should
fail.
The board also made a rule to the
effect that hereafter when application

SCHOOL FUNDS IN DEMAND.
borrowers Turn to State when Market
eegIHa TO Tlxhten.

regiHa TO TIxhten.
ealem--The indications Of slowly
Tightening money market are tending
TO increase the demands for loans from
the state school funds. The state loan
board last week approved applications
for loans to the amount of t69, ,3l5.
Earlier in the month applications we're
approved to the amount Of $50 900,
making total Of about 900, 900 put
out in loans during November.
The demand for school fund loans
may be accounted for by two circum-
stances. The state is lending at az low
q rate OF interest az can be secured any
where; and in case Of hard times the
state viii not be forced to call in its
money. An applicant a few days ago
wanted to borrow money from the
school fund in order to transfer his
loan. He then had money from a pri-
vate capitalist at per cent. In stat
ing his reason for wanting to change
the loan, he said he thought it possible
that there might be stringency in the
money market within the next year or
two and he was afraid his creditor
might need the money. He knew that
the state would not need the money
and that his loan from the school fund
could stand as long as the security re-
mained good and the interest was kept
paid up.
The rate of interest charged by the
state is 6 per cent. The security re-
quired by the state is greater than that
generally required by private capital
lists, so that many find it inconvenient
to borrow from the school fund. On
November the state had s2,778, 100
loaned out on mortgage security and
a63,600 on school bonds, or a total of
t2,S41, 700.
Every dollar of this is loaned on Sc
curity that is perfectly safe. On the
first of the month there was cash in
the school fund to the amount of $685.
1920. Since that time some loans
have been paid and 800 900 more has
been loaned out.

stockmen on a basis Of practical GER
tainty as to having ample feed for their
stock in the John Day valley. Mr..
Oliver has always been inclined to take
a hopeful view of the stock and feed
supply situation, and vigorously denied
the reported scarcity Of hay. He now
points to the fact that large number
OF both sheep and cattle have been
driven into the valley.

John Day = Recent investigations
have shown beyond further question
the existence of vast deposits Of coal for
many miles along the John Day river.
The interesting thing yet to be determ-

and sandstone, will unite with depth TO
