In a sunday school.

We are informed that a pitched battle was
fought in tho sunday school at Hot's school
house ON the Lovelaceville road, about fifteen

which for a time created considerable commo-
ton, and resulted In the severe injury of young
man known IA "Step-John Rudolph" by
young lady named Miss Melissa Collier. IL APP

vdual, and that he had slsndeted Miss Collier,
who Ia considered Young lady OF excellent
standing in that community. Learning hat he
was at the sunday School ABOVE mentioned. and
being exasperated beyond measure, she armed
herself with hickory club and entered the
house crying. The superintendent was Just
about to begin reading u chapter in the Bible
when he was interrupted by the exclamation,
&" Where 10 the scoundrelf" The whole
school looked up Ia utter amusement,
and discovered the lady making toward

quarrymen. few days ago started into the
woods In search Of a new stone quarry. On
reaching Red Ridge. six miles north from MIL
ford, they were suddenly startled by a loud and
continuous noise, cauAed BY rattlssnskes. Be-
ing aware that they were In the vicinity Of .
den Of these reptiles, but not knowing the
exact locality, they concluded to follow
up the sound, and II possible md
the den. After walking through the
thicket for few rods, they found themselves
on the verge OF huge mass OF loose shell rock
at the extreme nOFth END OF which they discov-
cred a black, moving mass Of rattlesnakes baSk-
ing In the sunshine. A stone dropped among
them by one OF tue party caused them to rattle
hercey and tire buzz that followed was almost
deafening. Each quarryman then procured
long, heavy stuck, and approaching cautiously to
rock upon which the reptiles lay was surround
ed, and rapid blows were brought to bear upon
them. John Quick, tall, powerful man, by
bringing his huge club to bear across the top OF
the rock, killed fifteen OF the snakes at one
blow. The combat continued for nearly half an
hour, when the snakes that were not Killed
managed TO escape by crawling into the sur
rounding rocks.
The party counted nearly three hundred dead
feet IN length and having from fifteen to twenty
rattIes.
This den Is within about six miles OF the
famous Ball Hill den, IN Shuhola township,
where thousands have been killed during tho
past ton years.

ROCKY UNTAIN RATS.
A Terrible Midnight Fight IN the Signal Sta
tion on Pixies Peak.

DENVER, Nav pa correspondent OF
the Pueblo Chseftdin gives an account Of q ter
rinc encounter between Sergeant O'Keefe, one OF
on Pixe's Peak, and a swarm OF ravenous Rocky
mountain rats. These animals have heretofore
subsisted upon saccharine gums to be found
among the rocks Of the mountains, and their
number Is said to have lately become formida-
BILE and dangerous, while their appetites have
been extended TO raw and uncooked meats, the
scent OF which renders them extremely fero-
eious. They are never seen In daylight, but may
be found at night trooping In countless num-
beers across the boulders OF disporting In the
lake below the Peak.

after dark was startled by a LOUD scream from
his wife In adjoining room. The cause was
Rocky Mountain rats, who attacked Mrs.
O'Keefe and her child while In bed. Mr.. Okeefo
succeeded In drawing scroll OF zinc around his
wife, and then proceeded to night on the ravep-
Gus animals. Hundreds of them were destroyed,
and still increasing numbers swarmed upon
him and attacked his hands, face, and neck,
was a nercc and desperate one, O'keefes only
weapon being heavy walking cane. In the
midst OF the warfare Mrs. O'keefe, who was
amply protected by the zinc plate, succeeded
coil OF electric wire over her husband, that
sprang outward and spread itself over the room.
Then. grnsping tho battery, she poured all It's
instantaneous. Hundreds OF the rats we're
Killed by the powerful shock, and the rest da1-
zled 10y the corruscations Of light fed TO their
crevices and Caverns among the rocks. Mr..
O'keefe's left arm was so badly lnccrated that II
Is probable amputation Will be necessary. The
saddest part of the nights encounter was tue
destruction Of the infant, whom the rats de-
yOured.

THE BLACK HILLS.
CoI-o-rew's Thrcsts-A strange story-shoet-
ing a Quack m edicine Man.

DENVER, Col, May 2S.-The old Ute chief
Colorado tCol-o-row) has been lowering around
In the vicinity Of Middle Park for some time
past, and finally got over into the Blue River
Valley with bis seven lodges Of consenial spirits
last week. He has always been known rs q dis
turber and mischief-maker among the whites
and Indians, and manages pretty well to keep up
his reputation as such. Last Friday he camped
two miles up the river from Hot Sulphur Springs
and took occasion to pay this little summer re-
sort a visit. He said that TOO many white men
we're coming into the Park, they were building
too many houses. and they must get out. He
threatened that he was going to remain until the
White River Utes came with great many others,
and then they would drive the whites beyond the
mountains.
A meeting Of the citizens Of Hot Sulphur
Springs was held that evening, and the result
was that Colorado was ordered to behave hun
self and quit his insolence tn the whites or leave
the Park. Colorado was taken down peg by
this announcement, but Is still camped In the
vicinity, and there may be a little unpleasant
ness as the Utes In different portions OF the
Territory are becoming alarmingiS dissatisfied
Middle Park IL noted for Its elk, black-tailed
deer, mountain sheep. grouse. and hare, and has
always been the fayorite hunting ground OF the
Utes, and they naturally fear the results Of en-
crOaching civilization.
Aud now comes the astounding information
depredetions upon ranches and travelling outfits
wero committed by whites painted rs Indiana.
Inc luuthns OF the lieu IlOuu anu opOtteu
agencies themselves make these charges, and
their statements are verified to certain extent

vsaled traces Of white men, and we're not ut all

The Utes nave peculiar and exemplary
method OF disposing OF quack doctors-in other
words, bogus medicine men" One of this ilk,
while practising his profession among the
Middle Park Utes, succeeded in fatally poisoning
two men and one woman and before the corpses
were ready for the funeral. Plat, chief Of the
tribe. quietly took down his winchester rifle
and went for the doctor. lie put nine bullets
into him, which was bad medicine" Tor the
medicine man, whose three wives are now
widows. Medicine" with the Indians means
witchcraft, sorcery. healing-anything In fact,
that they cannot understand, and they greatly

successful practitioner they deem better ntted
for the happy hunting grounds than this mum
dane sphere.

INDIANAPOLIS, May 3l.--The condition Of
labor here Is peculiar. The number OF men who
are out Of employment IL very large Many OF
them have heretofore depended on the city for
work, but this avenue Of relief has been closed
70 them BY the City Council. This body was
elected under promises OF retrenohment and
reduction Of expenses, and II Is doing all II can
TO accomplish these results It has discontinued
work on many Of the public improvements on
the ground that the public necessities do not
demand their completion. At the same time
that this has been done several OF the leading
factories have suspended, or put their employees
on half time. The result IL to-day that hun
dreds OF good and capable workingmen ere
wandering idly through the streets unable TO
md anything to do. Many Of them are men
with families. The hardships they suffer are
known 70 themselves only. Their CRY Is "e'vs

capitalist IL the enemy Of the laborer. He tels
the latter TO go to work when he knows that
there Is no work for him. The workinRmen
come to the West TO develop the country, aud
the rich men take IL from MIN.

2,0O0 men be put to work on the city improve

work to be done. The banks have tlOOOO,VO

1t was resolved to petition the City Council for
something to do. II IL doubtful whether the
Council will do anything. IL Is urged for them
that there Is not enough money In the treasury
