Horrible doinge at colfaz.

New Orleans, November IA let
ter from ex-Judge Charles j. Merrill,
dated Colfax, Grant county, October
%, says: In haste and with feelings
of horror l write to inform the pub
lie of the accursed action Of the Me-
tropolitan police sent here by Lieu
tenant Antoine, during the absence
of Kellogg.
On Sunday night last the house of
one of the most respectable widow
ladies on Red River was fired into,
the doors broken open and the un-
fortunate lady and her daughter Of
seventeen summers taken out and
horrible to relate, violated. Neither
of the ladies could be found until
late Sunday afternoon. An infant
eighteen months old and q grand
child of Ex-Governor Wells was
found out in the road half mile
from the house and near the spot
where the foul deed was pcrpetrated.
The infant was the niece of the lady
and the child of Mumford Wells, the
eldest son of ex- Governor Mat Wells.
The negroes up here all say that it
was the soldiers, and we all believe
iftbey were not the perpetrators they
instigated the negroes to the horrible
deed Of infamy.
1t is said here that when Colonel
Deklyln was informed of the outrage
he smiled and said that his troops
we're up here for higher purpose
than arresting men for such a petty
offence. The authorities are believ-
ed to have sent these creatures up
here to give the negroes a chance of
revenge, and one told the writer that
he had a right now, under the pro-
lection of the United States, to shoot
and to violate any white woman he
met.
l said to him that these were State
troops, and not United State troops,
and he replied that the Colonel had
said at a negro ball, the night before,
that he wanted all the colored peo-
pie to come and see him; that now
they could do as they pleased, as
they were now under the protection
of his soldiers.

The irrepressible conflict goes on

sisting the government measures, to

The Postmaster General is en-

of the Department would be appre-
ciated, while it is doubtful if the
other would be.
Drogemeyer,t the Democratic Treas
urer of Fort Wayne, Ind, is q defaul-

that not his own. When read to the

last May, it now appears that the
names attached to his previous bond

A collision occurred on the Chica-

Cedar Rapids on the 30th ult, by
which John B Watkins, Superintend-
ent of the Iowa Division, was almost
instantly killed. Several other per
sons were severely injured. The pas
senger train had been stopped on a
down grade, TO repair some break
about the engine, and a flagman was
set back to flag the freight which was
following. The brakes were applied,
and every effort made to stop the
freight but without avail, and it came
on armed with death.
During our interview, the Ameri-
can Consul at Bankok presented the
King an elegant assortment of his
medicines from DR.. J. G. Aver, of
Lowell, Mass, for the use of the
Court. He explained to his majesty
their origin from the great chemist
and their uses. The Cherry Pecto-
raj for coughs-the Sarsaparilla for
eruptive diseases and the Ague Cure
for the feavers that are so fatal in
this hot country. The dangerous
condition of favorite wife in the
polace with one of the disorders
these medicines cure, gave him spec
ial interest in these products of med
ical skill; indeed, these medical mar
vels interested him more in our coun-
try than all the other attentions we
had shown him.-LetterS from a

After the Inanranon comnaniaa-


DUBUQUE, October 3l.-Quite commotion
was created yesterday by Sheriff Leddy in
serving notices on sixteen different life insur-
ance companies in this city, suits being insti-
tuted for an amount not less than S2I7, 800
The code of Iowa says that foreign life insur-
ance companies, in order TO do business in this
state, must file with the auditor of state a
statement made up under oath of their con-
ditiOn, and procure of the auditor certifcats
authorizing them to engage in business, and
every days neglect to obtain such certificate
while doing business the company is liable to
penalty of 500. It is safe 20 say that not
life insurance company in this state has com
piled with the law. These suits have been
established for Fouke & Chaplin and Griffith
& Krast, and will be brought for trial at the
November term of the District Court in this
city. The following are the names of the
companies and the amount each has been sued
for Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany of Hartford, $4,000; Guardian Mutual
Life Of New York, $20,000 Home of New
York, $4,000; Mutual Life of New York,
$4,000; Republic Life of Chicago, SIS 900;
Etna Life of Hartford, $4,000; Charter Oak
Life of Hartford, $4,000; Equitable Life of
New York, S20,000; Travellers OF Hartford,
$500; Globe Mutual of New York, $4,000;
New England Mutual Life, $50, 900; Protec-
tion Life of Chicago, $1,000; Washington
Life of New York, $4,000; North American
of New York, $4,000 By law three-fourths
of the penalty goes to the school fund and the
remaining fourth to the informant.

and shall the people of Columbia be
afraid, and bow before the tyrants
of Europe?
II. Then Elliot returned to the
army of the King, and Immediately
the mouths of their engines were
opened against the fort.
Is. And the noise therefore con
TUNED a long time; even until the
next day, but their battering prevail
er not.
10. Now when Proctor saw it was
of no avail, he divided his host into
two bands, and appointed Captain
to each band and they moved toward
the fort and assailed it with great
violence.
30. But the men of Croghan were
prepared for them; and they let
loose their weapons Of war upon
them, and set their destroying en-
gines to work, and smote the men
of Britain, hip and thigh, with great
slaughter.
q. And the deep ditch that sur
rounded the fort was strewed with
their slain and their wounded.
%. So the host Of Britain were
dismayed and ovcrthrown, and fled
in confusion from the fort into the
forest; from whence, in the dead of
the night, they went into their YES
sells and departed from the place.
%. Now the loss of the men of
Britain were about an hundred and
4wo score and ten; and of the men of
Columbia there was one slain and
seven wounded.
"a. But when Proctor had rested
his army he sent skillful physician
to heal the mained which he had
fled from and left behind.
25. But Harrison, the chief captain,
said unto him, Already have my
physicians bound up their wounds,
and given them bread and wine, and
comforted them, after the manner
of our country.
26. For We suffer not the captives
that fall into our hands to be buffeted
or maltreated; neither want they for
anything.
81. SO the physician of the Kings
army was permitted to return to his
own camp.
% Moreover, great honor and
praise were bestowed upon the brave
Croghan, the captain of the fort, for
his valiant deeds; and his name was
spoken of with JOY throughout the
land of Columbia.

Battle of Fort Supplemental Quaint
Account of Croghan's Victory.

Account OF CTOgnaQ' s N1CIOIy.
The following account of the bat
tie fought at lower Sandusky, (now
Fremont on the I'd of August, 1918,
is from work written in 1919, by
Gilbert j. Hunt, of New York, enti-
tied, "The late war between the
United States and Great Britain,
from June, 1912, to February, 1915,
in the ancient historical STYLE" The
volumed was bought in Fleet Street,
London, in January, 1872, by NJ. O..
Wagner of the Toledo Commercial,
from which paper we copy
CHAP. xxIx-Major CrOghan defeats the British
and Indians, under General Proctor, in the attact
on Fort Stephenson, Lower SaHduky.
Nevertheless it came to pass that
Harrison, the chief captain of the
northwest army, had placed a cap
tain, a young man, in the hole call
ed Fort Stephenson, to defend it.
2. Now the fort lieth at the west
ern end of the great lake Erie, at a
place called Sandusky.
3. And the number of soldiers
that were with the youth in the hole
was about an hundred and three
score, and they had only one of the
destoying engines.
4. Now the name of the young
man was George, and his sir-name
was Crogban.
5. So, on the first day of the
eighth month, about the going down
of the sun, mighty host from Maid
en- appeared before the hold.
6. Even thousand savages, and
about five hundred men of war of
Britain; and Proctor was the com
mander thereof.
Z. Moreover, they brought the
instruments of destruction in great
plenty, even howitzers, which were
not known in the days of the child
rem of Isreal.
8. And they prepared themselves
for the fight, and encompassed the
place round about, both by land and
by water.
9. After which Proctor sent a
message to the brave Croghan, by
Captain whose name was Elliott, the
words thereof were in this sort.
10. Loi now ye can neither move
to right nor the left, to escape, for
we have hemmed you in.
II Therefore, that your blood
may not be split in vain, we COM
mand that ye give up the strong
hold into the hand of the servants of
the King, and become captives.
II. We have the destroying en-
gines in abundance, and we are a
numerous host.
13. Furthermore, if ye refuse then
shall the wild savages be let loose
upon you; and there shall be none
left among you to 90 and tell the
tidings thereof.
IA. But when Croghan heard the
message, he answered and said unto
Elliot; Get thee now to thy chief
captain, and say unto him, l refuse
neither will harken unto him.
10. And if it be so, that he comes |
against me with his whole host, even |
then will I not turn a side from the |
fierce battle; though his numbers
were as the sands on the sea shore. |

and stone, slew the mighty Goliah:
