Pitkin, Col., Oct. 4. During the past

at a low dance house kept by Chas.
Briggs, a desperate character, formerly
of LuadviHe. Saturday night a stranger
named Kelly, a miner and prospector,
was enticed into the place, robbed of
$1-10 and terribly beaten. Sundaynight,
about 9 o'clock, the citizens proceeded
in a body to the den, and after notify
ing the inmates to leave, burned the
building. Briggs iired a shot into the
crowd and in the general melee which
ensued lie was shot twice through the
body, probably fatally.
Virly, Vuelen Utes.
nver. Ootoher 4. Tlin mommo n't.
pers contain interviews with J. j.ltus-
sell anil Col. Mercham, members of the
Ute commission who arrived hero yes
terday. They verify the reports re
cently published that after the
White River Utes had been'.taken to the
new reservation and money paid them,
large numbers of bucks immediately
returned to the White River country
and are there now hunting. They have
recently formed a junction with some
of the Unconipahgres who are en-route
to Uintah, and the fighting portion of
both branches are now wandering over
their former resort. It is understood
that when the Uncompahgre Utes have
all reached Uintah and been paid the
commissioners will report their work
iinished to the Interior department in
order that a proclamation declaring the
reservation open may be promulgated.
An employe of the commission, who
returned with Mercham and Russell re
ports that the Indians are armed with
Winchester repeating rifles, revolvers of
most approved pattern, with plenty t
ammunition, ami spoiling for a fight.
The day before the money was paid
one of the chiefs circulated a story
among the Indians that the committee
had offered them money only for the
purpose of alluring them to the new
reservation, and that they were not
going 10 tuina tne promise, lnis story
aroused the anger of the Indians, and
there was evidently a scheme on foot
to massacre the whole party, but the
commissioners discovered it. and told
Colorow it was false and that they
would pay the money the next day, and
through him induced the bucks to re
main peaceful. The Indians had a
great dislike to Means, on account of

Arizona mil Perforated.
Gunnison, Colorado, Oct. 3.-AA spec-
iai irom urestea unites says that Ari
zona Bill was killed there on the even
ing of September 30 by Marshal Haves.
It appears that Bill, in the presence of
Hayes, had made the boast that he
could run the town. Hayes said that
he could not. In the evening Arizona
Bill James A. Lewis entered Hayes'
saloon, which was full of men. and.
swaggering through the room, repeated
his boast of the afternoon. At this
moment Hayes entered. It is said by
some that immediately on seeing
Hayes, Lewis made a grab for his pis
tol, and had half drawn the weapon be
fore Hayes fired. Other reports fail to
corroborate this statement. At all
events, the Marshall pulled his pistol
1 and fired five shots at Lewis in rapid
succession, four of which took effect:
the first in the breast, below the right
lung, passing through the body; the
second and third passed through the
body, and the fourth lodged in the
groin. The fifth shot entirely missed
Lewis, and struck John Lute in the
breast just above the, right nipple,
passing entirely through his body, and
it is thought to be necessarily fatal.
Conkling mid the Convention?
New York, Oct. 4. The Telegram
says in positive terms this evening it
was stated by one of the President's
confidentiel advisers that Mr. Conkling
will not come to the city during the
convention, but has postponed his visit
till next week, when ho will have some
professional matters to attead to. This
announcement was conveyed in a letter
which reached here this morning.
About forty delegates to the convention
from remote sections arrived to-day.
They announced that about one hun
dred more will reach here to-morrow.
All the delegates, whether stalwarts or
halfbreeds, couted tho idea of a bolt.
Washington Advices.
THE GRAND JURY TAKES UP THE GUI
TEAU CASE.
Washington, Sept. 4. Witnesses in
the Guiteau case were examined by tho j
grand jurj- to-day.
HEARING TESTIMONY.
Washington, Oct. 41 p. m. The
(írand Jury has been in session two
hours, chiefly on the Guiteau case, hear
ing Surgeon-General Barnes, Dr. Lamb,
Messrs. White W. Adams, Ticket Agent
Park, of tho depot office. Policeman
Jarby, Detective McElfresh, and E. A.
Bailey, the last two on Guiteau's con

afternoon.
THE STAR ROUTE CASE.
Washington. October 4. Owing to a
rumor Jthe counsel for the defendant in
ine Diar itouie cases wouiu una morn
ing make a motion to quash informa
tion filed against Brady and others.
There was a large number of lawyers
and outers present in ine criminal
Court rooms. Court having been call
ed to order Brady and French, Turner
and Brown entered the room accompa
nied by Counsel Robert G. Ingersoll,
Jeremiah Wilson and Enoch Potter.
The government is represented by
Corkhill and Wm. Cook special assis
tant. Ihe proceedings were opened
by Totten, who said ho had found a pa
per, called an information, "which had
been recently filed against Brady and
others, and wished to enter a motion to
quash that paper. He 'asked leave of
that a day bo fixed for its argument.
Cook objected to filing the motion at
present, for when information had been
filed it had been accompanied with an
order of the Court for the appearance
of the parties. Until they did
appear and give security to an
swer they had no legal standing.'
Totten replied that the parties were
all present in the court, ready to ask
that t heir bonds should be fixed.
Judge Cox inquired whether counsel
had any suggestions to offer as to the
amount of bail.
Cook said that according to informa
tion the amount of which it was assum
ed the Goverment was defrauded was
$350,000. According to Act of Congress
the bail in cases of conspiracy to de
fraud the Government was fixed at
10,000. He would suggest, however,
in order to cover possible costs, that
their bail should be not less than $15,000
each.
Wilson suggested in fixing the
amount of bail the Court ought to ex
amine the pretended information in
order to learn the character of the alle
gation against defendants. He in
stanced averments against Turner and
French which consisted simply of
charges .of conspiracy, and making
some calculations, ami said on such
documents bail of $15,000 or $10.000 or
$5,000, was a little more than the Court
ought to grant. What applied to these
gentlemen applied to all the defendants.
The whole argument of the case against
Brady was that he didn't exercise sound
and judicial discretion in the discharge
of his duty as second Assistant Postmaster-General.
There was nothing in
the information that he could sec could
warrant the Court in fixing a high
amount of bail.
Ingersoll, who appears for Brown,
contended that the court should only
fix the bond at a high enough amount to
secure the attendance of the defend
ants. Cook said the question of the charac
ter of the information was not now be
fore the court, but when it came to a
question of evidence tho government
expected to produce adequate proof to
sustain the information.
Judge Cox didn't think this was a
ease which would require any large
bails. He would examine the infor
mation to-night and fix bail to-morrow.
When bail was fixed he would de-
tprminn mi ihi i'v 1r liu'irtlio nrnrn.
ment probably it would be some cfay
next week.
Totten's motion was then filed and
the defendants discharged on their own
personal recognizance.

if the draft is supported by a majority

and is vigorously used as a means of

English people's Land Bill is not very
far off.

Two BntcherN Butcher F.acliuther.
Denver, Colo., Sept. 4. Yesterday
John Joyce and Jacob Henry, two
butchers who were on a spree together,
became involved in a difticulty on Hol-
hday street in a saloon, and Henry
felled Joyce to the floor with one blow.
Joyce left the saloon and the afl'air was
almost forgotten by the occupants 01
the saloon when, half "an hour later,
Joyce re-entered with a huge butcher
knife, with which he stabbed Henry in
the left shoulder. Tho blade broke,
leaving the larger portion in Henry's
shoulder, while with the stub Joyce in
flicted other wounds. I he men in the
saloon all fled, leaving Henry to battle
tor himself, lie turned on his antag
onist, floored him and pummelled him
until nearly dead. His friends inter
fered and saved his life. The knife
blade was imbedded in Heney's shoul
der to the depth of three and a half
inches. Joyce was lodged in jail.
Henry's wounds are not fatal, but are
considered dangerous.
Failure of a Heavy Corn. Dealer.
Chicago, October 4. There was al
most a panic on 'Change to-day when
it was noised about that John B. Lyon,
who was reputed to be shoi't about
8,000,000 bushels of corn, had sus
pended. Lvon has for years been tho
heaviest shipper of corn in this mar
ket, and sometimes almost the exclu
sive shipper. He was said to have
been called for $1,000,000 margins last
night after business hours, and to have
failed to respond. This fact and the
action 01 the board of directors, fixing
the marginal price of corn at 03 cents,
broke the backbone of the corn mar
ket, and all other grains sold down in
sympathy.
At 11:30 prices were still weak and
declining, and it was thought this fact
might help Lyon to pull through.

Two small boys of LaGrandogot hold
of a revolver Monday morning and went
out to shoot a cat. One of the boys fir
ed, missed the cat and struck his com-
6 anion, young Gilbert, in the abdomen,
pon consultation of three doctors as
sembled, they decided to probe for the
bullet as soon as the patient had suffi
ciently recovered from the shock to un
der the operation. But moro fortunate
for the boy than the anxious doctors,
the bali, it happens, had only hit a but
ton on his pants and was found in his
boot afterward, and the boy was more
scared than hurt.
There was perhaps never a more ex
traordinary suicide than that of a police
employe in the Prussian village Hohe-
molsen, who a few weeks ago drove a
three-inch nail in his forehead with a
curtain rod. Ihe surgeons had diffi
culty, with the exertion of their whole
strength, in getting the nail out.
Tho Discovery Of Silk and Satin.
The discovery of silk is attributed to
one of the wives of the emperors of
China, Hoang-ti, who reigned about
2000 years before the Christian era; and ,
since that time a special spot has been
allotted in the gardens of the Chinese
royal palace to the cultivation of the
mulberry tree and to the keeping of silk
worms. Persian monks who came to
Constantinople revealed to the Emperor
Justinian the secret of the production
of silk, and gave him some silk worms.
i rom Greece the art passed into Italy
at the end of the thirteenth century.
When the popes left Rome t settle at
Avignon, t ranee, they introduced into
that country the secret which had been
kept by the Italians, and Louis IX es
tablished at lours a manufactory of silk
fabrics. Francis I founded the Lyons
silk works, which to this day have kept
the first rank. Henry II of France
wore, at the wedding of his sister, tho
first pair of silk hose ever made.
The word "satin" which in the origi
nal was applied to all silk stuffs in gen
eral, has since tho last century been
used to designate only tissues which
present a lustred surface. The discov
ery of this particular brilliant stuff was
accidental. Octavio Mai, a silk weaver,
finding business very dull, and net
knowing what to invent to give a new
impulse to the trade, was one day pac
ing to and fro before his loom. Every
time he passed the machine with no de
finite object in view, he pulled little
threads from the warp and put them to
his mouth which soon after he spat
out. Later on he found the little ball
of silk on the floor of his workshop,
and was attracted by the brilliant ap
pearance of the thread. He repeated
the experiment, and by using certain
mucilaginous preparations, succeeded
in giving satin to tne world.
The Little German city of Klingen
berg, in lower Franconia, not only im
poses no municipal tax, but every
voter receives an annual dividend
from the city treasury of a sum rang
ing from $22.50 to $25. The city re
cently celebrated the Sedan anniversity
by giving every citizen ififty cents, with
fifty cents extra to every soldier of the
war with France.
There is a remarkable coincidence in
the deaths of three generations of the
Garfields. Thomas (arlield, the grand
father of the president, died suddenly
while a youn man, leaving a widow
and a babe. That babe was Abram
Garfield, who died as suddenly in 1833,
leaving a widow and four young chil
dren, the baby being James Abraham
Garfield, whose untimely death the
nation mourns.
