TO SEND UTES HOME.
Agent Says Wanderers VIII Re Re
turned to Utah.

Before another spring term has
passed the 800 Ute Indians whose ad-
ventures since leaving Utah some six
teen months ago have furnished his
tory, will again be on their old Uintah
reservation. This was the declaration
of Capt. II. s. Hutchins, made at
special meeting Of the city council, of
Rapid City, held for the purpose OF
permitting the citizens to discuss their
opinions on the close proximity of the
redskins. which has set some nervous
people to thinking that the trouble
makers were altogether too close for
peace of mind. Capt. Hutchins, who
is a special Indian agent from Wash
ington to see that the Utes are held
within bounds, assured the public at
large that the government was pre-
pared to take every precaution to pre-
vent any disastrous result.

wife, Mrs. Matte Sternberg. was in

tackled and robbed them i'm their store
Saturday night. The victims of the
outrage were not found until twelve
hours later. An open can of sardines
on a counter, a long iron bolt and a
bloody meat cleaver near the bodies
of Mr.. and Mrs. Sternberg supply the
evidence of how the crime was COM
mftted. 1t is believed that the rob-
bers asked for the sardines and as the
grocer placed the open box before
them they struck him down with the
iron bolt and then beat his head into
a pulp. The robbers then entered the
living apartments back Of the store
and attacked Mrs. Sternberg with the
meat cleavcr. They split open her
head and knocked out one Of her eyes

wounds on her body She did not live

ALICE LOSES APPENDIX.
Mrs LOngAworth is Operated Upon
Thursday.

Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, daughter
Of President Roosevelt, was Thursday
operated upon for appendicitis at the
White House. DR.. Finney, of Johns
Hopkins hospital, Baltimore, Md, as
sisted by DR.. Sophie Nordhoffjung, of
Washington, performed the operation.
DR.. Rixey at 1880 announced the op-
Grafton on Mrs. Longworth was sue
cessful in every way and that she
was gradually recovering from the
influence Of the anaesthetic.
The president was at the scene Of
the operation until it had been COM
pleted. On being informed it was
successfully accomplished he returned
to his Office and took up his routine
work
1t Is stated that Mrs. Longworth has
been ailing for some time, but her
condition has not been regarded as
critical or serious. No apprehension
is entertained as to the outcome Of
the operation, as her condition was
declared excellent just prior to Its ex-
ecution.

BAD AIR WORSE THAN BAD FOOD
Former Kills a thousand Persons to
One Victim of Latter.

Foul air frcm improper ven-
tilation Is the breath of death
In any great city. While poor food is
causing one death, improper ventila-
ton is reaping a harvest of 1000
lives. Nor is this ratio confined to the
sums"
In these words Commissioner of
Health w. A. Evans, in a speech at the
Fort Dearborn club, in Chicago, ex-
pressed his belief that the atmosphere
Of many houses is charged with more
deadly poison than impure food.
'Tn strict figures, consumption and
pneumonia have the greatest death
rates in our city. In almost every case
of these diseases, the primary cause
is the breathing of foul air." he said.
In speaking of food DR.. Evans de-
clared America is affected with an ep-
idemic of "overfeeding." Overnutri-
tion is doing far more harm than not
having enough to eat

INDICT FATHER AND SONS.
Four Accused as Result of Brooklyn
Bank Failure.

John G. Jenkins, formerly president
of the First National bank, of Brook
lyn, and his three sons were indicted
by the Kings county grand jury Thurs
day on charges Of conspiracy and per-
jury. This is the first indictment
against the elder Jenkins, but his sons
already had been indicted on other
charges.~ They are John G.. Jenkins,
Jr., former president OF the Jenkins
Trust company; Frank Jenkins. for
mer president of the Williamsburg
Trust company, and Frederick Jen-
kins. director in these institutions.
The doors of all these institutions
were closed several weeks ago.
The four Jenkins had been warned
and were present to be arraigned.
Their counsel pleaded not guilty in
their behalf, and bail for John G.
Jenkins, Sr., was fixed at $4,000,
while that of his sons was made 81, 500
| as they are already under heavier
bail in other cases.
The charges against them are based
on the loans alleged to have been
made by the First National bank of
Brooklyn and the two trust companies
to the accused men. 1t is charged
that they engaged in a conspiracy to
secure these funds In excess of 10 per
| cent of the paid in capital stock Of
the various concerns, and that reports
to the state superintendent Of banks
were so falsifled by them as to con-
ceal the fact that the loans We're
made. The charges Of perjury were
based on this alleged concealment.

NEW MINERAL BELT.
Important Mining Enterprise Under
Way at Mystic.

The Mariposa Gold Mining and
Milling company, operating on Slate
creek, near Mystic, has after three
years of drifting. encountered and
opened up their mbin ledge the past
week. This is one bf the most impor-
tant strikes made in the Black Ilil'H
as it opens up a new mineral belt.
This company in 1904 opened up some
rich fissure veins on their property
and sunk several shafts along the
strike of the vein and uncovered and
developed some Of the richest gold ore
that this region has ever produced,
but water came in in such large guam
titles that development work was
much retarded and it was deemed ex-
pedient to go down on Slate creek
and crosscut the country until the
main ore veins were reached. This has
been done. and tunnel 900 feet deep
now pierces the mountains and has
crosscut and opened up seven different
gold-bearing letlges, and the main
fissure has now been uncovered. Steps
are being taken to install proper re-
duction works and the Mariposa Gold
Mining and Milling company will soon
be among the bullion producers of the
Black Hills.

MYSTERY OF LILLE OLSON BAF
FLIES NEBRASKA FARMERS.
Searchers Gather Around Residence
of Distracted Parents I'm Gloom OF
Evening and None Is Albc to Offer
Ray OF Hope.

Shrouded in as great a mystery as
ever is the fate Of 4-year-old Lille Oh
son. of Rosalie. Neb.
That her little body does not rest
In the tall grass or in any of the holes
and depressions of the ground found
In the rolling prairie country In an
area two by four miles in extent was
proved Sunday when 500 searches
coming from Rosalie. Bancroft, Lyons.
Waithill. Winnebago and Pender.
Neb.. made a systematic hunt for
trace of the strangely missing child.
Every foot OF the ground In this ter
ritory was closely examined by the
friends OF the grief stricken family
without the slightest clew rewarding
their efforts
While the big party of Searchers
lacked an official head and thorough
organization it followed general
plan that would have brought results
had the body been in the territory
covered.
Starting at noon from various places
south and west of Rosalie bands of
men began to scatter over the prairie
in the great simultaneous effort to find
some trace of the lost child. There
was no gathering of all the forces at
one place before the beginning of the
hunt, but crowds congregated in sew
eral spots and each made it's start as
1T thought best.
The general movement was east
ward toward Rosalie and the Olson
farm.
Moving slowly and carefully exam
lining every nook the line advanced.
By 1880 O'Clock all the parties had
reached the Olson homestead. where
a consultation was held, in which the
lack of a single leader was evident.
The line spread itself out to the north
and south-once more and with a steady
tramp advanced another two miles
The same tactics of examining all pos
sible hiding places were again follow
ed. The men were but a few feet
from each other. The idea that the
body could have been missed seems in
credible. For two miles in every di-
rections from the Olson cabin the
ground has been gone over so thor
oughly that there seems to be no
chance of the body of the baby being
there.

BODY SENT 10 ONTARIO.
Further Investigation Promised CT
Death Of Mrs. Brown.


The body of Mrs. Gertrude Nichol-
son Brown, the divorce cclon!st who
died several days ago at Sioux Falls
under circumstances which necessitat-
ed an investigation by a coroner's jury
left i'm charge of Coroner L. ID. Miller,
who will accompany it to Hamilton,
Ont, fer interment. Relatives of the
dead woman reside in that city.
The dead woman had but $25 at
the time Of her death, and this Will go
but a little way toward paying for
the embalming of her body, the cost
Of the casket and other expenses in
connection with her death. These
bills will doubtless be paid by her rela.
tives in Ontario.
On petition of c. II. Rartlet, who
was the attorney for Mrs. Brown in
her pending divorce suit, Judge Bal
ley, Of the county court. has appoint
ed ]. A. Gross special administrator
Of the estate of the dead woman. Mr..
Gross was a member OF the coroner's
jury which investigated the case, and
it il said he is not entirely satisfied
with the result of the inquest and
will further investigate the case.
Should he do this some sensations
are promised. He has announced that
he proposes to find out what has be-
come Of theproperty of the dead wom-
an, which has SO mySteriously disap-
reared.

FUNSTON SEES PERIL.
General Tears Serious Trouble at
CO,ile,d.


After having met and conferred
with many citizens of Goldfeld, New,
Friday, Gen. Funston stated Friday
night that he is finding conditions
there worse than he anticipated.
1.-THE possibility of further trouble
growing out of the difficulties between
the mine owners and the miners" he
said, "are greater than any informa-
ton previous to my coming there had
led me to believe. have just teie-
graphed a second report to Washing
ton, which Is based on the informa-
ton have gathered. ] do not believe
the government will declare martial
law at once as no serious disturbance
has occurred. / shall not advise such
action until 1t is absolutely necessary.
AS to the matter OF patrolling the vi
cinity of the mines and the streets OF
the city with the regulars, that is a
procedure that may become necessary
at any hour"
The statement of Gen. Funston set
ties the question of the withdrawal

nor Gov. Sparks will yield to the
pressure that has been brought to in
duce them to favor the withdrawal OF
the troops before the arrival OF the
labor commissioner from Washington.
Saturday a delegation of women
composed Of the Women's club, of
Goldfeld, called on Gen. Funston and
laid before him their side of the ques-
ton, which was that previous to the
coming Of the troops they had lived
in constant terror. believing that their
homes might be destroyed and their
lives endangered by violence or depre-
dation. They asked that the troops be
kept there until all danger of trouble
is past.

AT DENVER JULY 2.
DeInocrEts Name Time and Place for
Convention,

After deciding TO hold the next
Democratic rational convention at
Denver. Colo, and fixing the date Of
the meeting on July Z, 1908, the DEM
ocratic national committee, in session
in Washington, d. c., late Thursday
entered upon spirited debate on the
propriety of accepting more of the
100000 offered by Denver for the
convention than actually needed to
pay the convention expenses in that
city. Tho opposition to the accept
ance Of the contribution took the
form OF a resolution by Representative
Clayton, OF Alabama, declining money
not actually needed for convention
purposes. but after long debate the
resolution was laid on the table by a
vote of 81 to IL
Mr.. Clayton, Representative John
Sharp Williams Of Mississippi, and
Gov. Hoke Smith Of Georgia, spoke In
favor Of the passing of the resolution.
Mr.. Smith was especially emphatic
IN saying that the 100000 which had
been offered to secure the Republican
convention and refused by the Repub-
lican national committee had been
offered TO and was about to be ac-
cepted by the Democratic committee
He said the Republicans had turned
down the offer because 1t wa, regard
ed as In the nature of a bribe and
that Democrats, In view of that cir
cumsrance, could not afford to ac~
cept 1t.
Mr.. Williams spoke in similar
vein as also did Mr.. Clayton.
Mr.. Taggart advocated the accept
ance of the 100000, saying it would
be needed now even worse than money
was needed in 1900, and that at that
time it would have been practically
impossible to have opened headquar-
ters for Judge Parker if they had not
had the extra money secured from st.
Louis, where the convention was held.
Senator Stone, of Missouri, made a
long speech in which he favored the
acceptance of the money
