A BIG TURN OUT TIB MEMBERS OP THE NIAGARA COUNTY ANGLERS CLUB aND THEIR FRIENDS ARE BNJOYIXG THEIR ANNUAL OUTING aT OL- Coup »PO-DaY-LATEST NEWS FROM THE SCENE OF ACTION. 'The Niagara County Anglers took the quict little village of Olcott by storm this ntorning. 'The advance guard left this city yesterday afternoon and pre- pared the rural residents for the com- lug of the host this morning. Soon af- ter day light the fishermen with their rods protruding from the rear of their carriages began going in a steady stream for the Iake. Many of the anglers congregated at the Operan House at 6 o'clock, where they wore tiken to Olcott in a carryall. As one member of the club would meet another yesterday the question would be: \Who ure you going with ?\ \I have a cartilage and will take you.\ 'The bold fishermen soon had their companions picked out and all was in rendiness for the cccagion. 'The officers of the club and the members of the several outing committees had done their work well ind when the members of the club and their guests arrived at Olcott this morning they found that everything was in readiness. Plenty of boats and bait had been provided. 'The first arrivals reached the pavi- lon about G o'clock and from that time to 9 o'clock, the hour of roll call, every moment found a new arrival. Every means of conveyance was brought into use, Some went in double carriages, others preferred single carriages, where two friends could ride together a large eatch. Not a few of the anglers rode bi- cyclos to Olcott and arrived in time for breakfast and those who waited on them, Jndging from the number of sandwiches the bicyclists consumed, expressed themselves as assured of the fret that all had brought their appe- tites with them. 'The commitee which left this city last evening had arranged the interfor of the pavilion into a hugh eating house where the inner man could be satisfied with food and drink,. THE EUN IS ON. Olcott, June 4.-(Special to the Union- Sun)-All of the veteran anglers who lurve attended the annual outing for years are agreed that from the weather and fishing standpoint, this is the best day the club ever had.,And in fact every one is having a good time in royal style, 80 there is.-nothing-to.complain of When roll was called there were nearly 100 responses from men ready for the fray. {At 0 o'clock the signal was given and the anglers under Captain Stevens of the green and Captain Bennett of the yellow cust their lines for better or for worse. Happy to relate it is usually for the better here to-day. Your representa- tive wishes to be accurate and veraci- ous and ilmost hesitates to report the results up to noon. But it can be said that large catches of fish are being made, It is reported that five black bass have been caught so far up the creek. Rock bass and perch are biting freely and big strings are being exhi- ®. O. Willlamson, Charles W. Hatch have gene up the creek on a second trip after the elusive bass. The first fish was caught by William Fredericks of the Greens and the score was recelved with a great shout on the part of his comrades. At noon Edward LeVan and Edward Lebar had caught 140 perch. The two Dans, Rodenbach and Stevens are here and have done good work for their re- spective sides.

DAN POMEROY MAKES TWO AR- RESTS AT BUFFALO YESTER- IMX¥. * During some - time past different members of the Erie County Fish and Guime Protective Association have been making complaints to the officers of the Association to the effect that al- though Game Inspector Pomeroy seems to be working all the time he has not been securing any convictions of violators. Mv. Pomeroy was aware that these complaints were being made against him, but he had nothing to say in his defense. Instead he sawed wood or in other words, went on with his work in the even tenor of his own way. Yesterday the first fruits of his la- bors were discovered. John Herman and William Haun were arrested at their home, 602 Amherst Street, by the inspector late in the afternoon on the charge of dragging a seine in Seajuada Creek, back of the Park. 'The deed was committed as far back as May 23, but Mr. Pomeroy was not ready to ar- rest the men until yesterday, because, by witching their movements he was able to secure information against oth- er violators. Immediately after they were arrested were taken be- fore Police Justice Wallace C. Hill of Black Rock for trial. Their sentence was light because they pleaded guilty to the charge, and especially because they gave Pomeroy some information that will lead to several more arrests. They were fined $10 each and were al- lowd to go. These convictions, Mr. Pomeroy promises are mere preliminary puffs to several mines which he will explode within the next few days. Attorney Perey S. Lansdowne, who appeared for the Association yesterday, will be kept busy from day to day in the future un- til he has disposed of the warrants that the Association, through its inspector, has procured against a large number 0,13 violators of the game laws. Beginning this morning nine warrants will be served upon persons who have not the slightest intimation that Game Inspec- tor Pomroy has any information of their existence, All of these violators live in the vicinity of Black Rock, and thee hances are that in the course of\ the day Police Justice Hill's court room will be the scene of several con- victions. Attorney Lansdowne was able to get out only the nine warrants yesterday, but to-day he will continue his work. He predicts that before it is finished the violating of the game laws in the vicinity of Black Rock will have re- coived a blow from which it will not recover in many a long day. GEN. WEAVER HOPEFUL. PREDICTS A UNION OF ALL THE SILVER ELEMENTS AT ST. LOU- I8 JULY 22. - i Portland, Oregon, June 4.-Gen. J. B. Weaver, of lowa, who has made a per- sonal supervision of the Oregon cam- paign, speaking of the success of the Populists in Oregon to-day said: \We have made the greatest fight in Oregon that has been put up since the organization of the reform party. Every county in the State was thor- oughly canvassed that could possibly be reached, and the result shows that Oregon is in favor of free silver four to one.\ R 'The Legislature-elect is overwhelm- ingly in favor of free silver, ard so far as Oregon is concerned, the country can breathe easily on that score. A upion will be perfected at St. Louis on July 22 of all the silver elements, and they will rally under one banner and in support of one ticket. It will not be necessary, so far as Oregon is concern- ed, to make any further serious can- vass of the state. 'The election of Pen- noyer as mayor of Portland is a matter of tremendous consequence to our cause. It shows that we are beginning to make ourselves felt in great cities of the country, which heretofore have been under the domination of the hank oligarchy. Lleave for home this even- ing, full of hope for the future,\ Fire Proof Building Burned: Minneapolis, Minn., June 4.-The Edi- son, one of the highest and best build- ings in the city, on Hennepin Avenue caught fire at 2 o'clock this morning. Although the building was thought to be fire proof, the flames raged fiercely. The firemen, however, gained'a re- markable victory and subdued the mines after five floors had been burned out. Several newspaper and printing estab- lishments are in the building. Loss $50,000.

HE WAS PURSUED BY A POSSE | AND BADLY WOUNDED-WILL BE TRIED ON THE CHRAGE OF ASSAULT FIRST DEGREE. There came near being a double tragedy near Gowanda on the Indian Reservation yesterday morning. An old Indian named Moses Kenjockety shot his squaw, and was himself shot by a man in a posse of citizens who were pursuing him. Kenjockety is now in the Buffalo General Hospital with his right leg filled with buckshot. He will recover. The woman is still on the Re- servation. Although her condition is serious, she is expected to live. Moses Kenjockety's love for women is still strong within him, in spite of his GO years. It was because of his mis- placed love that the shooting affray took place. His wife, old and wrinkled, has lost her charm for him.. It was an- other woman in the tribe, younger and more comely, who had aroused the fires in Kenjockety's old heart. His squaw, with whom he had lived for years in a little house on the Reservation, dis- covered his treachery. She upbraided him for it. A little after daylight yes- terday morning Kenjockety was drunk. When he came home to his wife she ac- costed him with all the abuse in her own language she could'think of. 'The old brave was angry. He pulled out his revolver. He shouted at her and pulled the trigger. A bullet struck her under the left shoulder-blade. She screamed at the top of her voice, and ran from the house, but Kenjockety's anger was not appeased. He fired again,. The bullet went wide of the mark this time but the woman's strength was leaving her and she fell to the ground. Her husband stood over her and threatened to fire a third time. James H. Russell happened along the road in front of the house just in time to prevent Kenjockety from carrying out his purpose. Russell hurried back to the village for help, and Kenjockety fled. Constable Albert Cowdry and half a dozen men, Russell in the num- ber, started in pursuit with whatever weapons chanced to be at hand. 'They found Kenjockety half a mile from his house. Russell was in the lead. \Stand back,\ the old Indian shout- ed. \I'll shoot.\ ___ ' He brandished his revolver in the air threateningly. Russell raised a shot- gun, which he carried, to his shoulder and fired. 'The Indian gave a howl of pain and toppled over. 'Then the crowd rushed forward and grabbed his re- volver. It was in the nick of time, too, for Kenjockety was very much alive as they soon discovered. \Give me that revolver and I'll kill you all,\ he shouted. He was taken into the village and his wounds were examined by Dr. Zwotch. | A dozen shot had entered his leg and a steady stream of blood was flowing from the wounds. But Kenjockety was still warlike. He still wanted to kill his captors. > 'The squaw was found at her home. The physician went there and found her lying on the floor, suffering intense- ly. 'The bullet had not touched any vital part, but it had made an ugly wound in her back. 'The physician ex- amined her and dressed the wound. It was thought at first that she was fa- tally hurt but later it was announced that she would probably recover.' 'The good citizens of Gowanda were at first at a loss to know what to do with Kenjockety. A consultation was held. It was shown that he could not be put in the lockup, for that would not be humane. And it was a question of considerable doubt to them as to whether it would be-legal to send him to a hospital. . Finally it was decided that althoug Kenjockety could not be forced to go to a hospital, he could be sent there if he were willing. And it was found that he was willing to give his consent to this arrangement,. At the hospital last night it was sta- ted that he was in great pain, but that there was no doubt about his recov- ery. - . 'The charge on which he was arrest- ed is assault in the first degree. The Duel Prevented. Madrid, June 4.-The attempted duel between Generals Martinez Campos and Borrero, which was prevented by the timely interference of the Captain-Gen- eral of Madrid, who arrived upon the scene just as the principals were being placed in their positions by their see- onds, is the sensation: of the hour. The Imparcial publishes the text of the letter written to General Martinez Campos by General , Borrero which brought the quarrel between the two generals to a crisis and provoked Gen- eral Martinez Campos to challenge the writer. 'The letter concludes as follows: \For many years you have been my enemy. My patience is ended, and I am now ready to do to you what the rebels in Cuba could not do.\ ; 'The ministers are endeavoring to in- duce General Barrero to withdraw the letter, and if he refuses to do so he will be court-martialed. - Didn't Find Her Child, Mrs. H. L. Griffin, the western heir- ess who claims Lockport as her home and who bas created such a stir in Buf- falo of late came to Lockport on the 10 o'clock train on the Erie.. She was in search of her child that was kidnapped recently. She returned to Buffalo this afternoon, the search having proved fruitless here. ~ ~ Story of Cretan Refugees. Athens, June 4.-A number of Cretan refugees arrived at Piraeus last even- ing. 'They report that all business in the towns on the island of Crete is at a stand still, and that the entire country districts have been pillaged. WESTERN NEW YORK. The Body Found in the Whirl- pool Identified, CRAZY MAN AT BATAVIA-NIAG- ARA FALLS BOY GIVES THE POLICE MUCH TROUBLE. An unknown man was arrested by Officer Plato of Batavia on Monday and committed to jail. It was thought at first that he was suffering from alco- holism b,ut it has developed that he is crazy. He gave the officer a stiff fight, but was finally subdued. Drs. Morse and Whitcomb examined him and pro- nounced him insane, and he was com- mitted to Willard Hospital. He says his name is Thomas H. Maxavell. Wednesday about 8 o'clock the Misses Clara and Mary Armstrong drove into the city from their home out on the Packard Road, and tied their horse to a post on 1st Street near the Electric City Bank. The women did some shopping and at 9 o'clock went to get the horse. it was gone. Chief Dinan was notified and detailed officers to hunt for the thief. At 10 o'clock Officer Haley drove to the station-house with the rig. With him were two boys whom he handed over to the Chief. - On being questioned one of the boys said the other one had taken the: horse The boy. was bailed to appear in court. His name is Fred Russell. He is seven years old. Last Friday the same boy wis arrested for stealing a bicycle be- lcaging to John Rogers. He has given the police a good deal of trouble. . Fhis afternoon a horse belonging to homas Ryan, ran away on Webster Street, Tonawanda. 'The driver was thrown out, leaving Ray Mahar, a boy about six years old, in the rig. 'The horse dashed around the corner near the Lumber Exchange Bank and it looke as if the boy would be hurt. However he clung tightly to the seat and managed to keep in the buggy un- til the horse was stopped. > 'The body found in the whirlpool at Niagara Falls Tuesday afternoon was positively identified last night as that of Joseph Turk of Hudson Street, Buf- falo. 'Pwo men named Bowman and Spicer of Buffalo called at the Morse undertaking rooms at Niagara Falls, Ont., and identified Turk, who was a blacksmith. Bowman lives in the same house with the Turk family and he says that Turk went fishing May 23 and never returned. It is not known' whether his death was due to an acci- dent or suicide. The men say he had 'no trouble that they knew of,, Turk had a wife and several children and was about 35 years old. 200\ a A young son of Mr. and Mis.

WHEAT CROP SHORT. FIGURES OFFERED ON WORLD'S CROP BY CIAN DAVIS. Wichita, Kans., June A4-A Wood Davis, the crop staitstician, declares that the current reports that the world is full of wheat, and that Europe will produce this year 100,000,000 bushels more wheat than in 1895 is absurd. He THE STATISTT- sums up the present condition as fol- |, lows:, . . ' Drought has prevailed to a damaging extent in western central Europe, ex- cept in Belgium and France. Russias spring wheat will not be a full crop. India's wheat crop will be deficient one- third. 'The South African crop is but half what it was last year. North Africa was visited with a destructive drought. 'The South American crop is below last year's average. Canada's crop is poor, with a reduced acreage and in the United States, except in the Paci- fie coast, there is a general decline in the condition of wheat. ‘ Mr. Davis declined to express an opin- ion as to prices of wheat in the future. Secretly Put to Death. Constantinople, June 4.-The out break in the island of Crete has had the. effect of increasing the rigor of the policy pursued by the Palace authori- ties against suspects here. As a result of this activity 1,500 arrests have been made. Most of these arrests are Mos- lems, and including 137 students at the military college who are suspected of being in sympathy with Young Turk movements. Besides these arrests many officials have béen deported to distant provinces and some have been secretly put to death. The Infant Party. Alliance, Ohio, Juné 4.-The National headquarters of the new political party born at Pittsburg last week, have been opened in this city, with national chair- man L. B. Logan of this city, for sev- eral years state chairman of the Ohio Prohibition party, and D. J. Thomas, of Kentucky, national | secretary in charge. The National chairman and secretary fire hard at work pushing the organiza- ion. - For an able British seaman to become first a pretty officer and afterwards a warrant officer is not unusual.
