But he was bothered more by the oues-

boundaries of the province De la
Barre had succeeded Count Frontenac
as Governor of Canada, and used the
influence OF the French Jesuits among
the Indians OF the Five Nations to adj
vance the interests of France. Dongan
tried to Offset this by sending English
Jesuits among the Indians, but the arr
rival of the English Jesuts aroused
the enmity of the Professionals of New
York so that Dongan had to give up
this plan. He argued with De la Barre
that the dispute between the French in
Canada and the English in New York
should be settled by their sovereigns
in Europe, and that there was no
profit In disturbing the peace and tran
quillity of the colonists Just at this
time the Iroquois Lad alarmed the
people of Maryland and Virginia by
raids, and Dongan was asked TO aid
those colonists. Instead he invited

conference with representatives of the
Mohawks, Oneidas. Onondagas. Cayu-

Peace was concluded. in recognition
of which the Indians buried five hatch

gave written submission to the Great
Sachem across the water. By this
treaty, too. Dongan got confirmed to
the Duke OF York all the lands to the

Dongan found things in sorry mess

finances of the colony were in tangle.
Money was scarce. the people were
disconnected, taxes were high, and
there had been a good deal OF pecula-

built and water system provided for
Wall Street at heavy cost. Water
has been costly in Wall Street ever
since. The Dutch hated the English
and the English hated the Dutch. An
English offender who came before a
Dutch magistrate was likely TO get
severe treatment. and the English
magistrates retaliated in kind on
Dutch Offenders. New Jersey was
jealous of New York, and captains OF

MAN KILLED ON s1nHNs MOUNTAIN,

A shooting affray on Steens
Mountain resulted in the killing
Of James Leonard, a man about
20 years old, by Dick Williams.
Both were herding sheep, the
former for Thos. Turnbull and
the latter for Dick Smith. 1t
seems Leonard was a very quar-
relsome old man and had threat
ened Williams, in fact had driven
him off the range a short time
before. Monday morning he
came to Williams Camp and
threatened to cave his head in
with the butt of his rifle but upon
approaching him he threw the
gun in position and was appar-
emily attempting to throw in a
shell, Williams then shot him
the ball entering the breast.
After staggeringa short distance
Leonard fell forward and Will

he caught Leonard's gun and be-

A THREATENED CONFEDERATION.

The fire alarm sounded be-
tween 10 and II o'clock Tuesday
night when a small blaze was
discovered in an old closet ad-
joining the White Front barn in
the rear of the lot being cleaned
up by Robt. Davey on Main st.
Before the fire engines could be
got into action the fire had gain
ed considerable headway and
threatened the entire block but
a large crowd was on the ground
and with buckets succeeded in
keeping it checked until a stream
was started from the hand en-
gine.
This is a very dangerous block
and it has stood much longer
than old times ever thought.
Burns has been lucky in the
way of fires and it should hasten
to secure adequate protection.
This block containes two big
livery stables and the French
hotel. Should a fire get head
way there it would wipe out al
most the entire business district.

LYNCHERS FOUND GUILTY.

j. H. Caseday, the Grant
county deputy sheriff implicated
in the lynching of Olive Snyder
last Christmas, was found guilty
of murder in the first degree by a
jury in the Circuit court at Can
yon City yesterday morning.
At the regular term of court
in May Ben Hinton, one of the
accused men was convicted of
second degree murder and after
his conviction Hinton told the
officers all about it and was a
witness in the Caseday case.
After Caseday's conviction the
others awaiting their trial, Earl
and Bert Green pleaded guilty to
second degree. This is the in
formation received by telephone
yesterday by VIM. Fare.

He will show the power and
efficiency of the ammunition sold
by his people in a way that will
prove their worth, His work is
most highly commended by all
who have seen him and it is for
tunate to have this added attrac-
ton.
Remember this exhibition
comes just before the big ball

The exhibition will begin prompt
