A PIU re BATTLE.

A Drunken Indian ON the Rampage.
A stalwart savage Of the Piute per-
suasion imbibed too much whisky last
evening. and attacked q squaw on the
upper end of Bridge street. A sober
Indian named Charley came to the
rescue of the squsw and released her
from the grasp Of the drunken brute.
At this the latter became Infatuated,
and grabbing Charley by the coat
would not let him 60. A fierce battle
ensued, in. which the drunkard had his
face pounded to jelly. while the sober
Indian had his clothes I'm from his
back. TIE combat was brought to
a close By Deputy Sheriff Burns,
who separated the belligerents. The
drunken Indian refused to tell where
he got the whisky, and asserted that he
procured it of passenger on the train.
On being released by the Sheriff, he
ran like quarter horse toward the
railroad and disappeared in the sage
brush beyond. Scarcely q day passes
that drunken Indians are not seen on
the streets or at their camps. but as
they will not tell where they get liquor,
the officers have no opportunity to
prosecute the offenders. The man who
sells whisky to Indians in these ex-
citing times deserves severe punish.

the bride takers could stem the tide Of
public indignation. and Schuyler Colfax
was not among the number. He has

it is supposed that he derives consider
able pleasure from the prospect of hav-
