Tho MOdOc Campaign..A RePulSe'

Tho Modoc CampRign..A RePulse'
The comedy u the Moloc campaign Is
tragic enough In the news from the Lava
Bed this morning. a bloody disaster has
overtaken our troops, the result, 1t ap'
pears, of a military bluuder. A force
was seut out to reconnoitre Capt. JACKS
position, whether for purposes OF attack
does not appear. The troops fell Into an
smbuscadc, and being helpless were
slaughtered by an unseen foe. Between
forty and fifty fell, more than halfofwhom
were killed. A captain and lieutenant
are among the slain, another lieutenant
wounded and third missing. The troop,
who escaped the bullets of the saVages
retreated to camp. A number OF wound
ed were left In a position from which they
could not be rescued though a fresh force
was sent out for the purpose.
The dispatches thus far received about
the affair are confused and unsatisfactory.
II the person who sends the press report
from the Lava Bed had a little more sense
and would adopt severcr style ol mar
ratlve. the reading public would be much
obliged to him. Unless he improves We
shall be forced to indulge the wish that
Gen. DAvH will take him along when he
goes to "tho 'front.'" and send him with
the next party that goes out to recon-
uoitre Capt. JACK.

CHICAGO, April 29.-In the Circuit
Court OF Cook county, yesterday, f.
Beers, agent in this city for tho Louisville
Library Git Concert, was brought up
charged with violation of the statute
against dealing in lottery tickets. Tho
counsel for the defendant argued that as
the contract was not closed until the
ticket was mailed 10 Chicago, by the
purchaers from Louisville. the defendant
could not be held for the otEsnse under the
laws of this State. Tho State Attorney
maintained that it was an action In law;
that in misdemeanor there were no ac'
cessories; all were principals, and the de.
fendant violated our laws By acting as
agent for an illegal concern. The Court
Judge FarwelD took the matter under
Amusement and to-day delivered an Opin'
lon, holding that the agent here was liable
TO indictment and trial under the statute
against dealing in lottery tickets.
