DISPUTE CAUSES DELAY
OF AMERICAN MAILS
Railroad Authorities and the British
Postofice Disagree Over Pay
ment for TRANSPORTATION.

LONDON, Sept. 25-General indignatfon
has been aroused here by a dispute be-
tween the postofice authorities and the
management Of the London and North
western Railroad over the payment for
the transportation of mails, by which the
American mails have been seriously de-
layed at Liverpool when, under excep-
tiOnal circumstances, they have not been
handled at Queenstown. II appears that
the railroad disputes its liability to carry
to London a larger portion OF the Atlantic
mail than can be slowed away in an or
dinary boat train without extra payment.
The recent arrival Of the Umbria mail
brought matters to a head. the railroad
officials refusing to forward the surplus
mail bags until the pOstOfice agents pay
the cost Confronted Unexpectedly with
this ultimatum the pOstOffice complied un-
der protest. On the arrival OF the .Etruria
September 10 the railroad took I'D a SINH
lar stand, but on this occasion the postal
authorities stubbOrnly declined to comply
with the conditions. Consequently hun
dreds Of mail bags brought by the Etruria
were left at the pier and were forwarded
to London in small numbers. as the ac-
commodatiOR Of the postal cars OF the or
binary trains perrnitted. the last portion
of the Etruria's mail not leaving Liver

SAN MANUEL INDIANS
MAY CAUSE TROUBLE
Will Not Quietly Submit to the Ap-
preparation of a Spring Claimed
bV Them.

SAN BERNARDINO, Sept. 25.-F. w.
Tanby has caused considerable trouble
among the San Manuel Indians by enter
ing upon their reservation above High
land and posting a notice appropriating
all the water in the one spring on the
place, for upon its supply the Indians de-
pend absolutely 1t was only a small
spring bubbling out of the mountain side
when the Indians first went to the place
twenty-five years ago. They set to work
to develop it and have succeeded in get
ting a steady flow of about five inches.
In order to preserve the water while
not IN use the Indians have built a little
reservoir about the spring and from this
the water is diverted in bitches to the
various tracts which the tribe has under
cultivation. The notice posted by Tanby
was discovered yesterday by the Indians.
Instantly every member of the tribe hur-
ried up the side of the mountain to get
a glimpse of the offensive notice. There
was not one of them who could read 1t,
but the older members knew that it's
import was not of welcome nature. The
aged members of the tribe. old men and
women, broke down in despair, wrung
their hands and walled doefully. while
the stalwart braves grunted scornfully.
The Indians have appealed to the Gov
ernment and should they receive no an
swer trouble may be looked for. Tanby
wants to get the water to irrigate his
orange groves in Highland.

SLASHES DETECTIVE

Suspected Criminal Murderously As

Overland Train.

PORTLAND, Or, Sept 25.-Deputy
Sheriff Gibson was seriously hurt in a
fight on the train last night at Durkee
with an unknown criminal. He was
stabbed twice in the face and in the chest
with a knife.
The fight occurred as the eastbound
overland train was stopping at Durkee.
Gibson had nearly completed a search of
the train for Charles Ritner, who is want
ed in Baker City on the charge Of as
saulting 12-year-old Mabel McAuley. He
scrutinized the faces of all the male pas
sengers. A man curled up on a seat in
the smoker objected TO being examined
and drew a knife and slashed the Deputy
Sheriff. Gibson raised the train lantern
he carried in his hand and brought it
down across the head Of his assailant
with fearful force. The fellow was
knocked senseless and did not recover
until an hour later. He was taken to Ba-
ker City this morning and placed in the
county jail. 1t is thought from his ac-
ton that he must be wanted on a Grim
inal charge somewhere and he will be
