Newark, N. j., was the scene of shocking
tragedy few days ago. Three brothers
named Theilborn, who are represented to have
been desperate characters, were arrested by
Police Officers Dickerson and Elsden for dis
orderly conduct. AS the officers attempted to
march them off the men drew their revovers
and shot Elsden dead and fatally wounded
Dickerson. Escaping from the crowd, the
desperadoes ran up the street to T. W. Daw-
sons tannery, on River street, where they
formerly worked. There they called for Mr..
Meyer, foreman, who had discharged them, but
not finding him they commenced an indiscrim-
mate firing on the shop, which resulted in the
killing Of John Albus assistant foreman, and
the wounding of two workmen. The employees
of the shop turned out en- masse and chased
the murderers toward the river. In the pur-
suit the workmen used stones and knives
striking the murderers several times before
they reached the river. The latter leaped into
the water and attempted to escape across but
were stoned to death by the outraged work.

The rumor lie repeated that Sitting Bull was
slain in the fight with Custer and his men.
The rumors that have been afioat to the eff
feet that Gen. Crook and his command had
met the fate of Custer and his men, prove to
have bee without foundation. At last accounts
Crook was still safe, though confronted by
large, savage force. He was awaiting rein
forcements, which have probably reached him
by this time.
Advices have reached Omaha to the effect
that the Indi ans are moving on Medicine Bow,
a station ON the Union Pacific almost due
south of Fort Fettermsn, it is supposed, for
the purpose OF capturing or destroying the
supplies which have been stored there recently
in great quantities by the Government, there
being $4,000 rounds of ammunition there,
among other things. A very small force OF
Indians could seize and destroy these stores, as
Medicine Bow is a small station, and the coun-
try round about is spsrsely settled. Their
destruction at this time would seriously i'm
