Government May Act in United States

The government of the United States

matter from becoming public nothing
more is likely TO be heard of him.

SLAVERY I'M ALABAMA.
Government Starts an Investigation
Into Awful Outrages.

Government Starts an Investigation
Into Awful Outrages.
The investigation of the peonage cases
by the federal grand jury at Montgom-
cry, Ala, has brought out evidence of
more shocking crimes than existed in the
slave days. Many negroes have shown
scars from the lash and others showed
where their bones had been broken with
clubs
One AFFIDAVIT signed by six negroes told
the following story of the murder of
Sarah Nealy, negro woman:
Il was at Mr.. Turner's place. She
came on Monday and stayed until Tues
day. She came down to Fletcher Tur-
ner's. We were in the new ground. She
could not pile brush like he wanted her
to and he took her down and placed her
across a log. l held her feet and an
other negro held her by the head Allen
Turner whipped her with a buggy trace
100 lashes. Then he put q pair of hand
cuffs on her and tied rope around her
wrists, and made me draw her up so
her feet would just touch the ground,
and he let her hang two hours.
Just about dinner we lowered her and
she crawled over to some brushes. Mr..
Turner told me to throw her a pone of
bread. She said she couldn't eat. After
dinner / was told to go and tell her she
must go to work. She pulled the lid of
her eye down and said she could not see.
She then crawled behind the brush pile
and laid down and never got up any
more. Allen Turner beat her over the
head with a pistol again and she died -
The principal offender against the
peonage law, John w. Pace of ITALIA
poosa County, has practically confessed.
He did not believe that he could be pun
ished. Indeed he told Mr.. Reese Nand
Mr.. Sternfeldt that he had committed no
crime There are others among the in
dicted men who have turned government
evidence. Their stories disclose the CON
spiracy to violate not only the laws of
Alabama, but of the United States for
the purpose Of maintaining a system Of
slavery. They have trafIicked in negroes
TO the extent of buying and selling them

MEXICAN OFFICIALS BRUTAL.
American and English Travellers Said
to Have Suffered Indignities.

r. b. Bryan and wife have arrived
in Aberdeen, Wash, after six months in
Mexico. Mr.. Bryan tells story of
many indignities suffered at the hands of
Mexican officials at Guaymas, which is
almost incredible. With his wife Bryan
boarded a steamer at Alamos Topolo-
bampo for Guayamas, stopping at Mazat-
Ian to put off mail. There they were
quarantined and both men and women
were treated in a scandalous and brutal
manner. One Englishman, he says, tried
to escape and was subsequently found
dead, with a bullet hole through his tenn
pie. Bryan says that the whole affair
was presented to the Americtn and Brit
ish consuls at Guayamas befcfe the Off
GERS would take any action.

HOPE TO MOVE BIG RIVER.
Governments Engineers Will Try to
shift the Missouri'e Red.

United States engineers under Captain
ii. NJ. Chittenden of Sioux City, chief of
engineers for the Missouri river with the
United States steamer Robert and a fleet
of towboats will attempt to move the
Missouri river a mile at Yankton, S. ID.
The river has backed away from Yank-
ton for years until a sand bar a mile
wide lies between the city and the riv-
er, which interferes with traffic crossing
the river from Nebraska United States
Senator Robert j. Gamble of Yankton
induced the War Department to attempt
TO bring the river back to the town. The
engineers will build a series of parallel
dikes perpendicular to the Nebraska
bank, hoping that this will start the
river to cutting the sand bar.

JET JURY DlsAGREEs.
Reports Inability to Reach a Verdict
and Is Discharged.


When the jury in the Jett-White trial
came into court at Jackson, Ky, a third
time Friday and reported that it was un-
able to agree, Judge Redwine dismissed
the jurors. This was followed by the an
nouncement that the case would be trans
ferred to Cynthiana, Harrison County,
for the second trial.
1t was believed that there was only
one man between the verdict of guilty or
not guilty. 1t was conceded thai one
juror was then for conviction and chat
the question of punishment had not been
considered. Later the jury again report
ed it was unable to agree and shortly
after 8 o'clock it was discharged. The
dominant faction evidently expected ac-
quittal, but there was at least one juror
who would not so report.
Gov. Beckham was asked on receiving
the news from Jackson what he would
do, if anything. He said: Il cannot say
at this time what | will do. l must re-
fuse to make any statement"
