DETAILS OF TIE SURRENDER OF HOWARD AND
HIS BASD-SITTING BULL AND THE NEZ
rERCES.
CHICAGO, December 2S.-CorreSpondence
has been received at military headquarters
giving details OF the surrender OF Howard
and his band at San EliZario, the subse-
quent shooting OF Howard, Mcbride, and
Atkinson, and other events, substantially as
given in these dispatches. The rioters were
reported to be picking up their effects and
moving-some over the river and others
elsewhere.
Only five rioters were identified as Next
cans, and it was thought there were not
over ten from that side, although the organ
lied rioters were three hundred and fifty
strong, and were accompanied by about one
hundred and fifty thieves. The Mexican
authorities have posted n large number OF
notices on both sides OF the river warning
Mexican citizens against participating IN
the trouble.
Official information from Big Horn post,
Montana, says two Nez Perces have come
into camp, having been in Sitting BulPs
camp, and report that q white scout Is in
the camp OF the hostiles as prisoner. Tue
NeZ Perccs are anxious to leave Sitting
Bull, and are slipping away whenever pos
sible, but are afraid to come in body.
Dispatches from Fort Buiord says Sitting
Bull is reported encamped on Rock creek,
and committing some depreda tons, chiefly
on other Indians. ~.

gained from such paragraphs is the follow
ing, which is taken from late English
paper: "The price Of Il human jaw ut the

Iarity, soundness, and whiteucss OF Che

An Insurance Case.

HOW THE LIFE ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA EN-
DEAvOIED TO CONTROL THE BUSINESS OF
THE COLUMBIA INSURANCE COMPANY.
ST. LOUIS, December 2S.-L. E. Alexan-
der. receiver OF the Columbia Life-Insur-
ancc Company, has filed a petition in the
Circuit Court which alleges that the Life
Association Of America, desiring to get
control Of the business OF the Columbia In
surance Company, bought up 4 majority Of
the Columbia, stock and then had the old
Board Of Directors OF the Columbia resign
and filled their places by persons holding
similar places in the Board Of the Life AS
ISOLATION. 4 list Of some two thousand
eight hundred policy-holders Of the Column
bia were examined by a physician charged
with that duty, and old and infrm subjects
were rejected. Those who were consider
cd desirable risks were then insured in the
Life Association, and in payment to the
Life Association for giving its policies in
lieu OF those OF the Columbia lfe-policies
large list OF assets were transferred from
the Columbia to the Life Association. The
same men who ordered the transfer were
directors Of the Life Association, which re-
ceived the benefit OF the assets transferred.
This is alleged to have been done with the
knowledge that the Columbia was insol-
vent, and in expectation Of a proceeding
soon to be begun by the insurance depart
ment to wind up the Columbia.
I The prayer is for the cancellation OF the
transfers Of assets and for their return to
the receiver Of the Columbia. The amount
involved is about S675,000.
