Special to The Tribune.
VERNAL, Sept. 10. Henry Johnson, a
Ute Indian, who, on Saturday last, crim
inally assaulted the stepdaughter of the
postmaster at Fort Duchesne, pleaded
guilty to the crime today. The assault
was of a most brutal character. The girl
put up a desperate fight, and in tho
struggle the Indian tore a handful of hair
from her head, tore her clothing and ac
complished his purpose.
The girl was riding a horse when tho
Indian, half-crazed with drink, met her
and dragged her from tho animal. The
Indian mado good his escape, but ho was
captured on Sunday by W. S. Ijowc-,
deputy in the United States Indian serv
ice, and Capt. I Tall, Indian agent, who
both rode over from Whlto Rocks to Fort
Duchesne, riding all night, and secured
tho Indian at Randlct.
Confesses Orime.
The following day Johnson confessed
his crime and also said he got theMiouor
at W. D. Ten Brock's saloon at Fort
Duchesne. "William E. Johnson, chief spe
cial officer of tho United States Indian
service, together with his deputy and
Capt. Hall, wont (o Ten Brock's saloon
at night and found the saloonkeeper, an
Indian and a Mexican all in bed together
and several bottles of beer with them.
The trio were arrested.
On the way to the Jail at tho fort,
Wllllum Wash, another bad Utc Indian,
was encountered and troublo ensued, and
tho result was that ho and another
aboriginal who appeared on tho scene
were also gathered In, but not without
a light, and the wholo six were thrown
Into the militnry Jail at the fort.
Then they made night hideous with
their yells, and they were only quieted
when the hose was turned on them.
On Tuesday they were brought to Ver
nal under an armed guard, as thero was
some talk of attacking the officers and
trying to free the men.
Ten Brock, the saloonkeeper, was
charged with selling- liquor to Indians,
and lie was held under bonds of ?6&00.
CASE AGAINST FITZGERALD
HAS FALLEN TO THE GROUND
CHICAGO." Sepr. iO. Georgo -V. Fitz
gerald," accused by the state authori
ties of the theft of 5173.000 from the
United States si'trcasury here was
freed by Judge Cuctlaln today. United
Stales Sublreasuror Boldenwrcck. acting
on Instructions not to disclose cvldcnco
gathered by the federal authorities, took
the stand and refused to testify. Judge
Chetlaln thcroupon dismissed the case.
When the sensational theft was dis
covered Fitzgerald was suspected by tho
federal authorities, but they ultimately
dropped that lead for lack of incriminat
ing evidence. A private detective later
worked on the ease for Mr. Boldenwrcck
personally, .and secured alleged cyldence
on which Fitzgerald was arrested recent
ly on a state warrant.
At the United States district attor
ney's office It was nsscrted that the evi
dence was insufficient to convict. This
was followed yesterday by Instructions
that federal employes should not testify.
Without this evidence It was Impossible
to show the basic fact that a crime had
been committed. No further court action
is contemplated.

Question of Executive's Right to
Set Aside Forest Reserves
Is Raised.
CARSON CITY, Nov., Sept, 10. Ono
of the most important suits filed in thi3
State for 3'ears is being argued in tho
Federal court hero against tho right
of President Roosevelt and others to
set aside timber lands as forest reser
vations under an act of Congress mak
ing such provisions. Tho Eureka Livc
tock company is tho complainant. The
suit is against President Roosevelt, Sec
retary of Agriculture Wilson, Chief
Forester Pinchot and Forester Uaruott.
The case was argued yesterday be
fore Judge Farringtou and will bo con
cluded tomorrow, when United States
District Attorney Piatt will finish his
argument.
The forest reservation involved is the
Monitor forest reserve in Eureka coun
ty.'' Tho plaintiff company states that

reserve, the company was grazing five
thousand sheep, and now iho forestry
department refuses to allow them to
continue to do so, thcrateuing to confis
cate tho sheep if the company persists
in such action. Tho plaintiffs claim
the land is more valuablo for agricul

Dl. RUSTIN TRAGEDY
Testimony of Physician Who At
tended Victim Leads to Ar
rest of C. E. Davis.
OMATIA, Sept. 10, Lato this after
noon County Attorno3' English filed a
complaint against Charles E. Davis,
charging him with murder in tho first
degree in connection with tho shooting
of Dr. Frederick Rustin tho morning
of Sopt. 2 Tho time of tho hearing
was not set.
An important development was
brought to the ntteution of the count
attorncy lato this afternoon when Dr.
.T. P. Lord, the physician called by Mrs.
Rustin to attend her husband immed
iately following tho shooting, told the
police that on his wav to tho Rustin
homo in the morning of the shooting ho
met a man answering the description
of Davis, two blocks from where Dr.
Rustin was shot and coming from tho
direction of tho dying physician's home.
This featuro was not, brought out at
tho inquest nlthough Dr. Lord was ouo
of tho witnesses.
Regarded as Significant
Chief Donahue this afternoon de
clared it was tho most significant bit
of evidence thus far secured. Dr. Lord
gave a very minuto description of tho
man which follows very closely in detail
that of Charles E. Davis.
"Tho man camo staggering along
the Btrcet." said Dr. Lord. "Ho passed
not more than thirty feet from me. I
noted him particularly becauso of tho
hour and the circumstances although
1 did not speak to him."
Dr. Lord's storj' fits rcell into tho
evidence presented to the coroner's jury
and indicates that tho man might huvo
been in tho vicinitj' of tho Rustin resi
dence ten to fifteen minutes beforo Dr.
Lord met him, or about tho timo tho
shooting is s.aid to have occurred.
Tho police are still searching for tho
missing revolver and have covered
every foot of territory within sovcral
blocks of the Rustin homo without success.

BRYAN GETS BACK
' AT 'ME JOE"
Makes Pointed Reply to State
ment of Speaker Concerning
Amount of His Fortune.
GIVES FRANK STATEMENT
OF HIS WEALTH AT PRESENT
Questions if Mr. Cannon Is Will
ing to Tell Public How He
Acquired His Riches.
OLNY, 111., Sept. 10. Giving a de
tailed statement of tho amount of prop
erty owned by him, which he placed
at $150,000 at tho outside. William J,
Bryan, Democratic candidate for presi
dent, in a speech hero today, declared
as false tho accusation of Speaker Jo
seph G. Cannon, mado yesterdaj' in
Springfield, 111., that he wns worth a
million dollars, and callod upon j.ho
speaker to bo as frank in making
known to the world tho amount of his
own earthly possessions. In the course
of his remarks Speaker Cannon is cred
ited with saying that Mr. Bryan had
accumulated "a "million dollars selling
wind and ink to the public.
How Ho Saved Money.
"I was worth about $3000 when I
was elected to congross," said Mr.
Bryan. "I served four 3-cars and by
careful econoin3' I saved botweon $3000
and $4000, or about $1000 a year, so
that when I went out of congress in
tho spring of 1S91 I was worth about
$6000 or $7000. During the period
that elapsed between tho end of. my
congressional terms and 1113' nomination
for tho presidency, about a 3"car and
four mouths, I engaged in speaking
and lecturing and added but a small
sum to ni3' savings. After the election
in 1S96, my earning power as a lec
turcr was largely enhanced In the
prominenco which the campaign had
given inc. My book "My First Bat
tle" brought mo $17,000, and I gavo
an equal amount of the profits to tho
various committees that had carriod on
tho campaign of 1S9G.
Profitable Lectures,
"My lectures have been nrofitablo
and nvv writings paid me well, but no
ono attends the lectures unless he wants
to do so, and no one bu3-s what I write
unless ho is interested in reading it.
More than half of my timo since 1890
has been given to gratuitous work, and
3"et I have been able to support myself
and accumulate propert3' which I would
cstimato at about $125,000. but as one
can never accurately say what property
is worth until ho sells it, I fix $150,000
as tho outsido limit, the maximum of
my wealth, and I n,m willing to leavo
tho public to determine whether that is
more than I ought to have carnod or
whether I have earned it honestly. And
now, having answered the criticism of
Mr, Cannon and showing that his ac
cusation is false, I think E am .-justified
in asking him to bo as frank with the
public as I have been.
Wliero Cannon Is At.
"Ho began holding office in 3S6.1
when I was a 3'car old, and during tho
last fort3"-soveu 3'ears ho lias held of
fico more than forty .years of the time,
and about thirty-five .years of that time
he has been a member of Congress and
has been drawing a salary that tho
members of Congress thougfit so inade
quate that the salary has recently been
increased Will he tell us what lie has
been soiling, to whom ho has sold it,
and how much ho got for it? Ho ought
to tell us whether he has mado any
money lecturing or writing that is by
selling wind and ink, to choose his
own choico language, no has been
greatly hampered in tho accumulation
of mono.y b3' tho strict attention to pub
lic duties and 3'ct ho is reDuted to bo
wealthy. If ho will tell us .just how
much he is worth wo can then guess
how much ho might havo been worth
had ho boon free to dovoto his talents
to mono3' making. Being the third man
in influenco in our government, coming
next to tho vico-president, if not even
aboc the vico-president, in his power
to influence legislation, is it not fair
that ho should appl.y to himself the
same rulo that ho applies to mo and
tako the public into his conGdcuco? Let
him tell us how much ho is worth and
how ho mado it. Lot him tell us what
ho hns been selling, to whom ho sold it,
and how much ho got for it. If ho
thinks that tho wealth of a presidential
candidate and tho course of such a can
didate's incomo shall bo known, will ho
dcn.y that tho speaker's wealth and his
sources of income should be known?"

Standard Oil company of Inuiana. On
this point the answer declares it to Vl
be a matter of no cousoquenco whether ;"
the trial court referred to the New Jer-
scy compan3" of the Indiana company as 1 '. ,
not "a virgin offender." J
Real Point at Issue 1 .
The real point is, says the answer, '
didtho. .trial court-in imposing pun- r
ishmcnt tako into consideration tho re- ' IH
latiou between tho Standard Oil com- i'IH
pauy of New Jersey and tho Standard ItM
Oil company of Indiana and did it base ' 'iH
its fino upon the wealth of the Standard IH
Oil company of New Jcrsc3' and ita I jH
ability to pa3', instead of upon M10 f lH
wealth of tho Standard Oil company t' IH
of Indiana, and its abilitj- to pa.y," ' -t j
To determine this question the 1 ,
Standard Oil company's attorne's as- K fH
sort that a fow sentences oxtractod by I IH
tho government counsel from tho words I t-fl
of Judge Landis are not sufficient and ' 'Jl
quote at length from Judge Landis 'a fi
opinion to show that he referred to the , ill
cw Jersey corporation as tho "real j 'il
defendant" and to tho Indiana com-
pauy as tho "nominal defendant." ' 3 'jH
Wliy Fine Was Imposed. , ' jfH
Tho conclusion stated by tho answer V ihH
is "that tho enormous fino indicted j
upon tho defendant was becauso of thu -1
ownership of its stock by tho Standard flH
Oil company of Now Jersey and because ll
of the financial standing of tho latter ' ,
corporation is be3'ond disputo when tho ; ll
entire opinion of the trial court is con- j VRH
sidered. ' , I I '
A large part of tho petition for re- ' j
hearing, the auswer asserts, is a rcitcr- ' t
ation of points which no ono disputes, 1
and counsel for tho defendant continue I
their attack on tho potition b3' declar- j . 'M
ing that the government attorneys are 1 t vM
mistaken in their interpretation of tha . ' I 1H
Armour case, cited in the petition, and i jH
in suggesting that the reviewing court I j 4H
is in conflict with tho Supreme court. f I TH
On the question of knowledge of the
lawful rato on tho part of the defend- 1 'H
ant shipper, which was one of tho points '
on which great emphasis wns laid in I .
tho petition for rehearing, tho auswer , i
assorts that tho exceptions of tho gov- . :H
eminent 'sa counsel nro based on a mis- ' '1
approhension of the opinion and tlin v i
record in tho case. Tho exclusion of I i pH
certain evidence and tho question of in- ' J Pi
tent aro discussed in detail in tho an- ' -ft ipH
swer which asserts that the reviewing j Y
court was iustified in tho ruling which . m ! HH1H
it made. ( 1 fHIIH
Boast for Attorneys. ia
On the point of tho number of of- 1 I jf
fenscs which tho petition for rehearing jlH
asserted wns obscure in the opinion or
tho reviowing court, tho answer con- , 4 ..HUH
tends that, the government's, counsel has j iHIH
raised a cloud wliero thero is none, and j ijlHIH
thnt tho ruling of the court clearly , (
shows that the number of offenses was , ''EH
regulated' by the settlements and pn3-- 1 ', iH
ments of w'hich there wero thirty-six, '
and not by the carloads numbering 1162, il
on which 'tho fine was predicated, iiH
In 'conclusion the answor which was 1 I, . JiH
prepared by Attorney John S. Miller, ( J ....H
who together with Moritz T?osenthal and ; iH
Alfred D. Edd' represents tho defend- , iH
nnt. asserts that the suggestion of tho ; i'l
government's counsel that the rc-hearing j ' H
bo granted in order to ccrtif3" a ques-
lion to the- federal supremo court is 1 iH
not a proper ono becauso thero was no . iH
division of opinion among tho judges j ;.H
of tho reviewing court. .pH
