Hartje divorce case. was the most SEN
sationel and revolving since the Hartje
domestic troubles began.
Hooe reiterated the charges Of in
timacy made in his first deposition, and
said he had been coerced into making

denial of the first. The negro said when
he was arrested i'm East Liverpool, Ohio,
by number OF private detectives, that
they had roughly used him and that
while he was in cell in Jail one of the
detectives had pointed a revolver at his
head. He was told, he said. that q
large crowd of angry men were walt
ing his return to Pittsburg and that he
would be lynched unless he confessed
that the charges of intimacy against
Mrs. Hartje were false.
Hooe said the threats frightened him
into "a confession, which he later signed

ceived considerable money from John

animation by Assistant District Attor-

YERINGTON, New. via Schurz. New,
Oct. 26.-Tremendous excitement pre-.
walls at this point on the northwestern
side of Walker lake. where between 1000
and 1000 eager men have gathered pre-
paratory to rushing on Walker Indian
reservation, a large portion of which
will be thrown open at noon on Monday
next
Camps have been established at all
advantageous points in this vicinity
and the prospective claimants for mine
locations are ready to rush to spots
where the richest mineral land is sup
posed to be.
Several large copper mines are in
successful operation near Yerington, a
few miles outside the reservation
boundaries, and local traditions credit
the territory inside the reservation as
being still richer.
1t is feared by some that bloodshed
may result over disputes that are all
most certain to occur over specially
favored locations. This mushroom min
ing camp presents "a spectacular ap.
pearance. Although the majority of
those who are here for the rush are sea-
soned miners, large number have had
no experiencesn mining whatever.
great percentage of the prospectors
are from California, although Goldfield
Tonopah and other Nevada mining
towns have contributed the largest
quota. Men are also here from nearly
all the large eastern cities.
Mining syndicates have their repre-
sentatives who have been instructed to
secure as many claims as possible. Ac-
commodations of all kinds are at a high
premium. While no hardship has been
as vet, it is believed much
suffering may result unless more pro-
visions are rushed in.
The camp at Yerington was swelled
by about 500 additional people today and
several thousand are expected tomor-
row. Conveyances of all kinds have
been chartered and a high price has
been placed on horses The poorest
kind of an animal brings a large sum.
The lines of the reservation near Yer
ington and Schurz are being carefully
guarded by mounted police.
Early this morning party of five
made a bold dash into the
Teserva ton, but they had gone but a
few miles before they were overtaken
and summarily elected. They were in
formed that they would not be allowed
to locate on the reservation and We're
ordered TO leave the country under
threat of arrest. Other prospectors who
today had taken places too near the
lines We're ordered to keep at q proper
distance.

to interfere with the tariff on these

are in competition with them.
with great respect, what a perfect
farce this is! There are no private
enterprises in competition with them.
lis there any wonder that the presi-
dent is not in favor of the bill prohibit
ing corporations from contributing to

unanimously. but II met its quietus
in the house of representatives. 1t
would never have done to pass this

would the funds come from that would
enable the Republican party to carry

''This bill would have been a great

anxious to see at the next session OF

calls 1t, that body will be in a suf-
