Counties.
Aiikalon, Knn., Jan. 8. A courier just
in from the south lino ot tho State-reports
a running conflict between the fleeing
desperadoes nnd an armed posse of pur
suers. According to his report there aro
two wagons loaded with a lot of men par
ticipating in tho canyon battle. They
have been encamped in a gulch south ot
Springfield, where they were discovered.
They saw their pursuers at the same mo
ment, and then commenced the life and
death race. I
For ten miles tho two parties were !
not within firing distance, but the pur
suing party came within a quarter of a
mile of the desperadoes about dark and
a running fight was kept up for four
miles on a level plain. Four men were
seen to fall back in their wagons during
ono fusilade, but it is not known whether
thoy were killed or wounded.
Tho pursuing party, finding their tired
horses would not carry them further,
made a detour of some half n mile to a
ranch where thoy procured fresh horsos,
and the racu wits resumed. Tho courier
started back from this point. He says
qhe pursuing party, numbering lourteen
men, would follow the desperadoes into
No Man's land if necessary nnd bring
them back doad or allvo.
Another courier is hourly expected and
witli him news of u battle in which ono
or tho other will bo annihilated. It Is
learned tho party killing Dunn, which
numbered about fifty men, was made up
of details from tho counties of Seward,
Stevens, Grant, Morton and Haskell.
Threats have been made in each of these
five counties that in case Judge Botkin
attempts to open court in either ho will
be killed. The scenes in this county
are feared in each of the other counties.
Botkin has wired the Governor again
to send 100 stands of arms. He also
wants tho troops kept here for three weeks
and tho county placed under martial law.
Qm. Roberts has telegraphed to tho
Governor for instructions on this point.
Several moro arrests have been made.
Word has been received here that an
attempt will be made to rescuo the pris
oners, upon receipt of which Judge Bot
kins ordered that they bo shot before they
were surrendered,

London, Jan. 8. Tho Bankruptcy Court
has ordered a -strict inquiry to be uindt
into the formation nud the whole history
of the-United States Gold Placers Com
pany, which recently failed in a mannct
most disastrous to numerous persons that
had invested in its securities.
Tho company was formed in 188C, fot
the object, as stated in the prospectus, ol
acquiring tho Cottoivwood Placers, com
prising 800 acres of auriferous gravel on
tha banks of the Itiver San Miguel, i
Colorado.
The prospectus gave out every reason
to expect yearly profits of 1-18,000 on
capital investment ot 150,000, djyldeJ
among 0H0 holders.
It is now alleged that the scheme was
from its inception a shameful swindle.

15 Other News front tho Cupltnl.
Washisotox, Jan. 8. Tho apprehen
sions thnt the friends of Secretary Blaine
have over his sudden attack have been
somewhat allayed by the information
given to those who called at his resldsnce
that the' Secretary hiid'hcen resting
quietly all night and is very much im
proved. Mrs. Blaine receives nearly nil
callers nnd answers cheerfully questions
concerning her husband's illness. From
her account of the Secretary's illness, it
is only temporary in its character, and her
conversation leads hearers to believe that
he will be up and about within a day or
two.
The distinguished patient had little
medical attendance yesterday. His phy
sician, Dr. Hyatt, paid a visit and con
cluded that the Secretary needed rest
more than medicine. P'roin reliable
sources it is learned that the alleged
serious nature of the attack seems to be
more imaginary than real. Mr. Blaine's
long illness during last spring and sum
mer has made him dread a recurrence of
confinement, and this fear has unnerved
him to such an extent that he looks on
Ills present Indisposition in a much more
alarming light than his real condition
warrants. The aim of his physician and
his family nt present is to disabuse his
mind ot the thought that ills illness will
result seiiously, and beneficial effects are
looked for from the rest which he has
had.
RETALIATORY PROCLAMATION.
It AVI11 be Issued March 15 Secretary
lllalne's Notice.
Washington, Jan. .8 The President's
retaliatory proclamation under the reci
procity section of the tariff act will be
issued on March 15. Tho Attorney Gen
eral has giv.i an opinion that the duties
must attac). .i We collected on and after
the date of th.- proclamation, nnd that n
future day cannot bo named by tho
President.
Secretary Blaine yssterdny pent notes to
the diplomatic) representatives of Austria
Hungary, Colombia, Hayti, Nicaragua,
Honduras, Spain, (Philllplue Inlands)
nnd Venezuela informing them that on
March 15 next the President would issue
his proclamation, unless in the mean
time some satisfactory reciprocity ar
rangement' should be made with tho
countries named, suspending the provis
ions of the tariff law relating to the free
introduction into the United States of
sugars, molasses, coffee, lea, and hides
exported from such countries, and that
on and uftcr that date the duties fixed In

Tluit Is What Speaker .Crisp Is Silli'erliiK
Vrom lteported lletter.
Washington, Jan. 8. It is impossible
to get nt the exact truth ubout tin illness
of Speaker Crisp. His physician states
that ho is rapidly Improving and is all
right, but he stated this two weeks ago,
and denied tho accurnoy of the dispatch
stating that the hpeaicor wouiu not pre
side in the House.
The physician states that the Speaker
has been suffering from a mere attack o
the prevailing grip. It is rumored, how
over, that nervous exhaustion is the real
name of the aliment, aud that he is in
such a weak state that his friends are
seiiously alarmed. Two or three times
ho has been threatened, and his son does
not hesitate to state that his father passed
a very bad night.
Indeed, on Tuesday his lungs threat
ened to fill up, and the coughing spell
brought on by tho attempt to clear the
passage left tho imtient utterly ex
hausted. Mr Crisp lias now been in bed for two
weeks, and the doctor says he must re
main In, the house for at least two weeks
mu?m -
It is perfectly clemr that It is not so
much the grip as the shock to the nervous
and physical system following the long
Speakership fight and the subsequent
work in arranging the committees thut
has laid the Speaker low, aud he will re
quire h long time and careful nursing to
recover his health and strength. It ..'is
stated this morning that Mr. Crisp is
better than he was, bat Is still weak.
Renator Sherman on tho Situation.
Prrrsruao, Jan. 8. Senator Sherman
passed tliorugh Pittsburg- last night on
ills way to Washington. In an interview
the Senator said Blaine could have the
nomination for President at the coming
Republican Convention If he wanted It,
but on account of his health it was a
question whether he should accept it
Harrison should be the next ohoice as he
gave the people a good, sound Republican
adn.inlstiatioii. In regard to the Demo
cratic nominee lie thought Carlisle should
be the Democratic candidate for Presi
dent. Palmer ot Illinois, lie said, was
most too old a man. lie said his re
election to the Senate was at no time In
doubt. Ho said ForaUer had treated him
very kindly.
