MALICIOUS MISCHIEF.

AN oCToGENARIAN QUAKER ACCUSED OF KILL
ING His NEIaHBoR's HORSES AND SWINE AND
BURNING HIS HAY STACKS.
NEWPORT, r. l., July II, 1876.
There was considerable excitement In the town OF
Portsmouth, this city, Yesterday and to-day over
tho developments concerning hitherto respectable
citizen named Clark Chase, aged eighty years. About
ton years ago he and neighbor named Joseph
Anthony, now the postmaster Of the town, had some
difficulty in reference to drift why, and Anthony,
rightfuly. It IS thought gained his point From that
time till the present Anthony has suffered serious
losses In the way having his hay stacks burnod hogs
poisoned and about years ago he lost valuable
horses, they evidently having been cut with
sharp instrument Last week another horse cut in
the manner. Night before last a watch was set
and just before daylight, yesterday, Chase
after coyng of them to the fence with somc corn
he was seen to punch with cane. He
at seized, but the cane, which is
supposed 10 have had a sword or sharp instrument
inside not taken from him. After fully identifying
him they to this city ana laid the before c.
grets that the cane not secured Tho horse being
stabbed in two Places Is not expected to live. AS
the affair became nosed about, Chase's house
surrounded, and II he bad shown his face he would
to his age, and tho writ, which issued this after
noon will be served upon him In the morning. He Is
prominent member OF the Society Of Friends Is com.
lortably situated, and his friends, although knowing
that Suspicion pointed strongly against HIM being
the OF Anthony's losses yet can hardly bencvo
against him There were several persons who him

as follows:-The positions now held by
Crook, Terry and Gibbon on the Big Horn
Mountains, the mouth of the Rosebud River
and the mouth of the Big Horn River. re-
spectively, should be made the sites of strong
depot posts for supplies. guarded by in
fantry. A force of at least twenty-five hun
dred cavalry, with two batteries of Gatling
guns or mountain howitzers to be used for
dislodging the savages from strong positions,
and one rocket battery on the English model.
which would utterly demoralize mounted
Indians, should be organized, and after be-
ing put on Sitting Bulls trail should follow
him up and down like bloodhound on the
scent until they had captured or killed him
and his band. The adoption of such SIM
pie plan as this would strike terror into the
Indian heart and Indian wars, we believe,
would cease forever.
