Weldon was found in field with his
head split open, and his sister, Mrs Su-
san McClurg, and her daughter, Miss
Nancy Hite, were discovered in the house
with their heads smashed. William Ter
rell and Joseph King have been arrested
on suspicion, and the former confesses
his guilt, throwing the crime on King.
The latest developments, however, show
that King was not concerned in it.

having fallen back on Delibaba, the Rus
sian left wing took possession of the
Delibaba Pass and fortified IL. Mukhtar
Pasha telegraphed Rachid Pasha to join
him with reinforcements from the Turk
ish left wing, and quilted his headquar-
ters at Zewin on the night of the 18th for
Delibaba to take command in person.
On the following day he received rein
forcemonts which raised the strength of
the right wing to nineteen battalions,
four cavalry regiments, and three bat
teries. The Russians in the Delibaba
Pass numbered 100000, with four bat
teries.
Several skirmishes we're fought on
June 20. On the 21st Mukhtar attacked
the pass. The fighting lasted from six
o'clock in the morning until eight in the
evening. The Russians were, at first,
driven from their positions, but they
afterward recaptured them and attacked
. the Turkish positions on the heights
with infantry and cavalry. The Turkish
front gave way for short time, but
afterward rallied, charged the Russians,
and drove them back. The Turks then
opened terrible artillery fire and COM
PEELED the Russians to fall back with
heavy loss The Turks acknowledge a
loss of 400 killed and about the same
number wounded. 1t is reckoned that
the Russian losses we're at least double
that number.
On the 22d Mukhtar again fought a
severe battle. Russian cavalry were
placed in an entrenchment to act as in
fantry, but, ultimately, the Turks drove
them out and pursued them, the Russians
retreating in disorder for Zerdikan. The
whole of the fighting lasted thirty-two
hours. The Turkish loss was upward of
2 900 and the Russian much heavier.
The Turkish headquarters are still at
Zewin, in position which is unassaila-

LOng-LiYed Orange Trees.

An idea of the age which orange trees
may attain is furnished by the history of
the magnificent one in the orangery of
the Palace Of Versailles, known by the
name of the Grand COnnetable, or Grand
Bourbon, which is now 450 years old. 1t
grew from some pips of bitter orange
planted in pot at the commencement
of the fifteenth century by EleanorIof
Castillo, wife of Charles Ill, King of
Navarro. The young plants which
sprang from the seeds were kept in the
same tub at Pampeluna until 1893. In
1854, more than two centuries after, they
were removed TO Versailles. The Grand
COnnetable, which may be regarded as
the senior of living orange trees, is still
perfectly vigorous, and does not exhibit
any signs of decay

Indians in Idaho on the War Path.

SAN FRANCISCO, June ~.
The following particulars of the In
dian outbreak in Idaho have been re-
ceived from Lewiston: On the 18th the
Salmon River Indians and Joseph's bands
assembled on Camas Prairie, and four
whites were killed on the Salmon River,
near the mouth of Wbitebird River The
Indians attacked a settlers camp on the
prairie, killed Benjamin Norton, his wife
and two or three others, attacked all the
teams on the road, and had possession of
the whole prairie except the town of
Mt. Idaho, which they threatened, Friday
evening. a force of 100 troops, two
friendly Indians and several citizens left
Lapway garrison under the command of
Col. Perry for Mt. Idaho. Soon after the
news was received that Capt James
Baker, Samuel Benedict, wife and four
children, Harry Mason, Henry Eifers and
Warren's expressman had been killed on
Salmon River; also pack train of forty
mules was attacked near Cold Spring,
swo whites, named Davenport and Oasley
killed, and two half breed Indians es-
capped.
After the arrival of Col. Perry at Mt.
Idaho dispatch came through to the eff
feet that he found the reports of those
killed true, and that the Indians had
gone to Salmon River. The troops went
in pursuit. Messages from Kamokowa
state that twenty-nine whites had been
killed, and the whites had killed White
Bird, the chief of the band, and his fam
lily.
LATER-The troops, with $50 men
from Mt. Idaho, encountered the Indians
at the head of Whitebird Canon. The
troops dismounted and left few soldiers
and twenty friendly Indians to hold the
horses. The Indians opened fire, and
fighting was continued for some time.
The friendly Indians became alarmed.
The soldiers guarding the horses could
see that the Indians were getting the
best of the fight and that the soldiers
were retreating. The Captain of the
citizens and Sergt. Lyttle and one soldier
are known to be killed.
In military circles the outbreak is con-
sidered serious. The Indians are brave
and warlike and well supplied with arms
The total strength at the disposal OF
Gen. Howard, when all the troops placed
under his orders are concentrated, will
only reach about 800, while the strength
of the Indians is estimated by some to be
close on to 1000, though probably more
reliable estimates will reduce the number
of warriors to about half that number,
or at the most to 800.
The scene of war is located in Idaho
Territory, sixty miles from Lewiston, on
what is known as Camas Prairie. The
distance from Lewiston to Wallula by
river is 100 miles, which is the nearest
point where the telegraph can be reached
The distance from Portland to the seen,
is over 100 miles.

BOISE Cry, Idaho, Jun


By an arrival here last night the pre-
vious reports of an Indian outbreak near
the Salmon are substantially confirmed,
The scene of the first massacre was on
the Salmon River and tributaries, that
stream coming in from the northern side,
draining Camas Prairie and the neighbor-
ing mountains. The settlement called
Camas Prairie covers the foot of the hills
TO the north of the Florence Mountains,
extending several miles northward into
the plain, which lies between the
Florence Mountains and the breaking
down of the table land called Craig's
Mountains. Mt. Idaho is about the
center of the range of settlements of
Camas Prairie, situated at the foot of the
Florence Mountains, sixty'flve miles from
Lewiston. Idaho settlement is on the
Salmon River, and its tributaries lie to
the south and southwest of Mt. Idaho,
at distances varying from fifteen to

lowing special is just received by the

Mason, G. H. Brown, Jack Mannel, Sam
uel Benedict, James Baker, Pat Price,
Victor Ould, James Ould. Mortally

or children killed on Salmon River are
yet reported. John Chamberlain and
child were killed at the same time as
Morton's wife and another child.
Wounded, L. Day, George Moore, Mrs.
Morton. The troops arrived here to-day.
LATER-June l7-9 a. m.-The COM
manding officer at Fort Lapway, Col.
Perry, with his command and some vol
unteers, engaged the Indians at White
Bird about daylight. They were fighting
about three hours, and were rcpulsed
with heavy loss of men and horses.
ER-1Sth-Williams, who brought
the letters to Lewiston, says he was a
scout in the fight; that the engagement
took place at the foot of White Bird
Canon instead of the head; that upon the
first fire of the Indians the soldiers broke
ranks and retrsated. The officers could
not rally them and make them face the
fire. The Indians pursued them about
sixteen miles, firing upon them con
stantly. He states that the Indians had
better guns than the troops, and theil
aim was deadly from the first attack
There were about 1875 Indians in pursuit
of the troops, all well mounted. After
the fight the Indians held grand wal
dance on the prairie.

The troops from Alaska reached Fort
Townsend on the Goth and were ordered
to Lewiston. Gen. Sully goes with them.
Gov. Brayman, of Idaho, on the Goth
applied to the War Department for au-
thority to organize, mount and provision
volunteers at Government charge. The
Secretary answered that he had no au-
thority to grant the request, but Gen.
Howard was authorized to issue at his
discretion muskets of the old pattern not
to exceed 300, and ammunition not to
exceed fifty rounds for each gun.
Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1877-06-29

There had been no further fighting in
Idaho up to the Goth. Gen. howard had
gone to the front to command in person.
Gen. Mcdowell has been instructed by
Gen. Sherman to have the Indians pur-
sued as fast as possible, and pay no at
tcntion whatever to the boundary lines
of the different military commanders,
but to punish the Indians wherever they
may be caught.

Crossing the Danube.

This morning little after day break
the people of Ibrail were awakened by
the sound of artillery and musketry on
the other side of the river, showing that
the Danube must have been crossed.
Gen. Zimmerman had gone to Galatz
and crossed the Danube with two regi-
ments of infantry, and a proportionate
amount of artillery and cavalry, in a
number of boats towed over by steam
launches.
