OFFICIAL REPORT. The following is the
official report of Gen. GiIlcm Of the disaster to
the Federal troops at the Lava Beds.
LAVA BED, April IS, lS73.-To Myor Gen
crnl Scl,ofcld, San Frnnctsco On the 18th
instant, Major Green, commanding the camp
on the west side Of the lava bcd ordered Cap
tain Thomas, Of the 18th artillery, with batteries
a and *, 18th artillery, company II, 18th In
flntry, and party of Warm Spring Indians
(about 10 soldiers and IA Indiaus) to make Il
reconnaissance in southcasterly direction to a
point about miles from camp. The party
left camp at a. N. At II N. the party
reached a designated point and were resting.
No Indians had been seen. Suddenly the party
was fired upon by Indians, when a portion of
the command seems to have become panic
stricken, and organization seems, in a great
measure, to have ceased. Stragglcrs arrived
10 camp at about halt-past one p. N. Major
Green at once went to the assistance Of Major
Thomas. Arriving on the scene ne found
Thomas command entirely disorganized and
scattered. Upon searching in lava chasms the
bodies of Capt. Thomas and Lieut.. Howe, 4th
artillery, and Lieut.. Wright, 18th infantry,
we're found. lst Lieut. Arthur Cranston, 4th
artillery, has not been found. He is undoubt-
edy killed. Lieut.. George Harris, and acting
assistant Surgeon Lenig, are seriously, though
hope, not dangerously, wounded. Thirteen
enlisted men were killed and sixteen wounded.
All the officers and part of the men remained
together and fought like heroes, but the Indi-
ans had secured advantages of position before
being discovered The remains Of the officers

warriors have been found at or near the scene
of the battle. Capt. Mendeuhall reports from
Burkettsvile. apd is expected to join US Oh the
18th. The Indians occupy positions in the
rocks about four miles south of their old caves.
It will be impossible to surround them with
the force at or en- route to this place. The
circumference of the lava beds is about thirty
miles. All oft is very much Of the same char

LIABILITIES OF LIFE INSURANCE CoMpA-
MES. "A decision just rendered by the Supreme
Court of the United States is of great import
auce and general interest. The Mutual Life
Insurance Company having provided in the
policy against liability if the insured died by his
own act, in the case at bar, which was one of
suicide by poison, the Court held that the facts
showed the reason of the deceased to have been
so impaired, that his suicide was not his volun-
tary intelligent act, and therefore declared the
company to be liable. As the plea Of insanity
can at least be set up in all cases Of suicide, this
decision will have the effect of increasing litga
ton, unless the companies fail to resist claims
arising under such circumstances, which they
are not likely to do. 1t is more probable they
will revise their policies so as to declare against
liability in cases of suicide, whether committed
in state of insanity or not and thus afford the
lawyers and Courts another knotty question to
discuss and decide.

DEAD on the threshold of success might very
we'll have been the epitaph on the living burial
of two members of a London law firm who have
recently dropped out Of life. One Of them died
of actual starvation, and the pathetic account of
the destilution and misery of his life appeared
in the Loudun Times, and was told so impress
sivey that it attracted much attention. A short
time aitcrward his partner was arrested for
stealing book from the law library Of the ln-
ncr Temple and selling it for ten shilIings. The
proof was clear and he was convicted Before
receiving sentence he said: Il have gone for
weeks and months without dinner, living upon
bread and tea have sold the coat FROM my
back, the shirt from by body to supply daily
wants. but have never been charged with dis
honesty. have worked hard on the shelves
of the Inner Temple Library. There are books
there Of which am the author. have done
all that mortal man could do to obtain an hon.
est and honorable livelihood" He closed his
story by begging the Court to punish him to
the extent Of the law, hoping $50 find before his
imprisonment should end, in a tllon grave the
rcposc he had vainly sought 10 the pursuits of
life" The Judge imposed on him the lightest
penalty Of the law-sx months imprisonment.
His fate is but another incident to prove that
the real poor arc not the mass who beg from
door to door and at the street corners, but the
men who cat their hearts away in vain efforts
of striving for the footholl in the world to which
their aspirations and their abilities should en-
title them to-

BUYING A JUpGEsulp.-Snit has been
brought in the Third District Court Of Utah
by one ex-U. S. judge against another ex-U. s.
judge on the following obligation:
" Washington City, D. c., March 20, 1869.
For value received | promise to pay Thomas j.
Drake or his order 50 500, as follows: 500 on
the first day OF October 1869; 500 on the first
day Of January, 1870; 500 on the first day of
July, 1870; and the further sum of $7OO
on the first day of January, 1871. In case of
my death before the last payment becomes due
then such payments as are not due shall not be
collected. o. L. STRICKLAND"
The history ofthc paper is interesting. AT
the time of its execution, Drake was Associate
Justice of the Supreme Court of Utah. Strick-
land was resident OF Utah, seeking an office
at Washington. Failing to obtain one, he pro-
posed to Drake that the latter should resign
recommending him for the vacancy, and in
case he WAS appointed, he would pay Drake
$500. The appointment was for four years,
and the salaryS2, 500 year; he was therefore to
pay Drake one fourth of his salary for the place.
Drake resigned to take effect on the appoint
mcnt Of his successor, and Strickland was APP
pointed. He served four years, when accord
ing to the Salt Lake Herald, he resigned 'be-
cause he had made so much money" Strick-
land, however, never paid Dreke the money,
and hence the suit -Richmond Wing.
