BANDITS RIFLE MAILS
Observation-Disclosures Used Auto
in Commission of Crime.

Omaha, May 22.-Four masked
bandits held up and robbed the I'm
ion Pacific passenger train a few miles
west of this city just before midnight
tonight and secured seven mail sacks,
believed to have contained a large
quantity OF registered mail. The
robbers evidently got on the train at
some point west of here and climbed
over the tank and forced the engin-
eer to stop the train and then pro-
ceeded to the mail car where the
clerks were forced to open the door
and pass out the seven mail pouches.
The robbers then hurried away in a
southerly direction and permitted the
train to proceed. The passengers
were not molested. The train came
on to the city, where the alarm was
given. a large squad Of police hur-
ried to the scene and quickly started
in pursuit of the bandits.
After securing the seven pouches
one robber remarked: This is all
we can get in our automobile" A
continuous fusilade OF shots was kept
up during the robbery, evidently tC
intimidate the passengers and the
crew. A fagman who went outside
narrowly escaped being shot and sew
eral of the passengers who had not
retired and who started to go out of
the vestibules We're ordered back into
the cars by the robbers

HEARS SPIRITS;
TORTURES HIMSELF
Seattle Rancher LabOring Under
Dciusion Places Hands on Slow
Fire-Amputations Necessary.

SEATTLE, May Pr. f. Nc
Intosh, aged Al, a rancher of West
Seattle was found in his log cabin
today with his hands and arms so
badly burned as to require amputa-
ton, and it is feared he will die. Nc
Intosh said he had read in the Bible
of evil spirits and came to the con-
CluSiOn that these had been speaking
to him. In order to rid himself of
them he put his hands in the fire. He
iNys it was a slow wood fire in the
kitchen stove, and he held his arms
there for a long time. Following the
ordeal, he sat and gaZed at his hands
for hours and felt great peace come
over him. Then he was satisfied he
had done right. Only when he be
came weak from hunger and after
total abstinence from food for five
days did Mcintosh appear at a neigh
boris door to beg assistance.

HIGHER COURT
ASSERTS DIGNITY
First Time in History That U. S. SUI
prcme Court viii Pass Sentence
for Contempt.

WASHINGTON, May 24.-For the
preme court of the United States will
next Tuesday mete out punishment
for the crime of contempt of court
itself and the Importance of the case
will be enhanced by the number of
the defendants.
The proceedings will take place in
connection with the cases of Sheriff
Shipp and Deputy Sheriff Gibbs of
Hamilton county, Tennessee, and four
other residents of that county. These
men were declared in contempt by the
court today.
A negro named Johnson who had
been sentenced to death by the local
courts for having attacked woman
had been granted a writ of superce-
das. The night after it was granted
the negro was lynched. The Jail au-
thorities made no resistance and the
sheriff and his deputies, as well as a
number of citizens, We're cited for con-
tempt The number of defendants
finally nine. but three were held by
the supreme court to be guiltness to-
day. The sentence may be either a
fine or Imprisonment or both.
Only once before in the history of
has the highest tribunal in this coun-
try had occasion to assert its dignity,
and this previous occasion was so
comparatively insignificant as virtual
ly to leave the present proceedings to
stand alone.

Little Known of Facts Attending His
Dcath-Fcars Entertained That
He Had Disappeared.

A. c. Cowing, formerly senior
member of the firm of of Cowing &
Sprague and for five years a prDmi-
nent business man in this city, passed
away in Tacoma Saturday morning.
Mr.. Cowing left this city for the
sound in November, afte: having dis
posed of his interests here in the
hardware business to the Valley
Hardware company. He was married
in December and little had been
heard from him since February.
On the eighteenth of that month
his former partner, Harry Sprague,
received a letter from him stating
that he had been planning to come Ia
Yakima soon but was awaiting the
calling of court case here in which
he was interested and which was no
tiCed for trial last week but continued
until Monday because his attorney, II
}. Snively, had been unable to get
into communication with him.
The letter was pathetic in that the
writer seemed to have some preno-
milton Of his fate. He said that he

RIGHT OF WAY FIGHT
BETWEEN RAILROADS
DOnald's Line Replaces Property
Owners Against Whom Strahorn
Has Condemnation Proceedings.

George Donald, by his corporation
the North Yakima az Valley railroad
has interviewed in the condemnation
suits instituted by the North Coast
railroad for right-of through the
ParkerZillah district. His road has
come in as intervenor in the suits in
stituted by Mr.. Strahorn's road
against Andrew McCracken, f. j
jaeger j. G.. Hickok, Willis S. Douglas
A. M. Cornell, Ida E. Clute, S. f
Lawrence and c. II. Furman.
In its petitions in intervention the
Naches Valley railroad states that il
has purchased the property against
which the suits were begun and holds
the deeds. The condemnation pro-
ceedings, therefore, as the Herald
said would be the case when the first
right of-way move was made in
Zillah, are against the Donald road
The situation in brief is that Mr.. Don
aid is in possession, but he holds
property against which condemnation
proceedings had been instituted before
ne purchased it.
H. j. Snivcly, who instituted some
40 or more condemnation cases fol-
the North Coast railroad, had those
cases called in the superior court
Monday. In a number of instances
no appearance was MADE for the
property owner. All the cases We're
set for hearing June 2.

Prof. Meany, who is professor of
history at the University of Washing

discoveries and explorers of the Pa

corning the geological formation,
showing that the oldest land in what
is now comprised in the state, lies
along the eastern border, in the out
lying foothills of the Blue, the Bit

the Union. In every one of the three

PROBABLY IN 1870 SAYS ORDER
General Land Commissioner Will Not
Fix Definite Date, but Gives Out
Some General Information.

Opening of the Yakima Indian res
ervation to settlement will probably
be in 1910. This time it is the COM

department of the interior of the

sent to II. G. Saint of the local land
office says, after discussing the reser-

Rules Which VIII Govern.
The reservation, which embraces
1,145,000 acres, is to be opened under
the act of December 81, 1904, under
the homestead and mineral laws, ex-
cept timber lands, which are to be
sold under sealed bids, settlers to pay
the appraised price, and mineral
claimants also to pay the appraised
price, which shall not be less than
the price fixed in the mining laws.
Withdrawals under the reclamation
act have been made pursuant to the
act of March 6, 1906, for the Wapato
project. The surveys and allotments
are completed and the classification of
the remaining lands has been started.
One-fifth the purchase price is to be
paid in cash at the time of entry and
the balance in five equal annual in
stalments in five years after the date
of entry.
Settling on the Lands.
The reservation, along with other
reservations in the country, will be
opened by proclamation of the pres-
dents as soon as the preliminary
work has been completed. The proc
lamation will prescribe the time when
and the manner in which the lands
shall be settled upon, occupied and
entered. 1t is probable that the lands
entered by proclamation will be
opened by some form of registration
and drawing, but whether it will be
similar to that heretofore adopted has
not yet been determined.

About Chief Spencer.

About Chief Spencer.
Especially interesting, in view Of
the recent death at Toppenish at great
age, of Chief Spencer, is a passage
concerning the killing of his family
in Prof. Meany's book. 1t was in
March, 1856, just after the Yakimas
and allied tribes had wiped out the
white settlement at the Cascades of
the Columbia. Lieut.. Philip H. Sher-
idan, then stationed at Vancouver, had
been sent to the relief of such of the
inhabitants as had been able to reach
the blockhouse which was held by a
brave garrison of nine men. He ar
rived in time to drive the Indians Off
Before leaving the Cascades" says
Prof. Meany, Sheridan was met by
Joe Meek, the famous frontiers wan
anything of Chief Spencer's family
who had passed down the river to-
wards Vancouver. Spencer was a
friendly chief who had gone out as
guide to Col. Wright. He had taken
his family to visit relatives near The
Dalles. Sheridan began search and
found near a path the bodies OF tn
mother, two youths, three girls and =
baby, all strangled with bits of rope,
except the baby, who had been
choked witha silk handkerchief. prob
ably taken from the mothers head.
Sheridan Was Shocked.
an my experience" said Gen.
Sheridan, in his Memoirs Il have
been obliged to look upon many cruel
warfare on the plains since that day,
but the effect of this dastardly and
revolving crime has never been effaced
from my memory Sheridan thought
the crime must have been committed
by men whose families had been mas
sacred and in their blind thirst for
revenge they strangled these innocent
members of friendly chiefs family"
The Yakima country is dealt with
at some length in Connection with the
Indian disturbances. Kamiakin, the
cd as a consistently hostile Indian.
Though he with great reluctance sign
ed the treaty, he said, Don't offer
me any presents. l have never yet
accepted one from a white man. When
the government sends the pay for
these lands, / will take my share"
Difficulties Of Stevens.
The peculiar stand taken by Gen.
Wood of the regular army in tho In
dian disturbances and the dissatisfac-
ton he fostered among the troops is
dwelt upon to show tho additional dinl-
culties Gov. stevens had to contend
with in suppressing the revolt. Gen.
Wool, according to Prof. Neany, did
everything he could to help the In
dams, giving the com snandsrs of tho
regulars stationed in the Oregon and
Washington barracks orders which
placed them in direct opposition to
Gov. Stevens and hampered him
greatly in his operations. This COM
handing officers attitude was respon-
sible for the hard feelings which
grew up between the regulars and the
volunteers. Upon representations from
citizens of the state. Gen. Wool was
shortly after recalled to Washington
and retired.
