There was q picnic in Eby's
Grove, near Dayton, Ohio, one
day. Some of the young men
wandered down the river. In q
secluded nook they discovered a
pile OF female clothing. They
looked into the river for signs Of
life or death but saw nothing. A
newspaper reporter of the party
took down all the surroundings,
rummiaged among the clothes,
and found there were several
sets or suits Of them, little and
big. In one of the pockets a
love letter was found, written by
Hal to Julia. The clothing was
tenderly bundled up and taken
to the picnic camp, stuffed under
a buggy seat, and the party
started home feeling very sad.

1t did not occur to them at once
that it was a little strange a
young woman and two or three
little girls should commit suicide
all at once. 1t was perhaps julia
and her little sister who had
thus plunged into eternity. 1t
was very sud case all agreed
disappointed love perhaps-and
on the theory Of suicide the love
letter would be a good thing for
the account. the clothes were
taken to the police office. The
reporter was satisfied that he
had good thing. The account
was read evidently, for early in
the morning an angry father
came raging into police quarters
demanding the clothes. His
daughter had taken a walk on
the river bank with two or three
little neighbor girls, and the
place being secluded and the
temperature warm, and the wa
ter inviting, they concluded to
take a bath. Soon they heard
voices in the woods, and hid
themselves in the bushes. They
huddled together as quiet as mice
until the intruding young men
had come and gone-gene with
their clothes. The only thing
they could do was to remain qui-
etly where they were until after
dark and then steal to their
homes in the kindly shadows of
night.

THE INDIAN WAR.

CMATILLA, July l6 The following
letter was received by conrier st md
night from PAnaleton. July Il TO Gov
ernor Chadwick: Guns arrived here al
right. Will not issue them unless fore
ed to do so to protect ourselves, ou'
hold them to ship to La Grande the
first opportunity.
TIE troops under Capt. Miles drove
the Indians irto the foot hills near
Cayuse station. They fought four
or five hours at long range In the val-
lev. Finally the troops and volunteers
made a charge and drove the Indians
fonr miles to the hills and captured
several horses on the field. Volunteers
did splendidly. and the officer in COM
mand complimented them highly Quite
n number of Indians were killed. but
inst the number could not be ascertain>
ed. Nothing WAS done to day but
scouting. Indians had not moved late
in the day and they are watched very
close. Tonight Col. Barnard's cavalry
arrived on the Umatilla river near the
other command and will move on the
Indians, it is supposed. during the
morning. Col. Sanford is coming up
from the La Grande way and is sup
posed 10 be near the Indians on the
Meacham road, and should the attack
he made on all sides it will be VAIN
times for the red devils tomorrow.
I think we will send abont fifty vol>
uuteers from here early in the morning
Major Throckmovton is here and his
presence has tendency to quiet peo-
pie very much. Mr. Bunker is 'n'
wounded in two places. but not fatally.
George Coggan's body was recovered
badly mutitated and in such condition
that it had to be buried here. Nothing
was found on his person, but few pa
pers. His clothes were taken Oft, laid
on his breast and burned. One finger
upon which he had ring was cut on.
Olney McCoy's horse, which he worked
under the saddle, was captured In the
fight and is now in possession OF his
father. The stage company lost SIX
six horses from Cayuse station. The
hostiles were chased so close that they
had to leave them.
Advise Capt. Sperry how to procure
horses for his company. Will learn to-
morrow what is most needed for the
destitute. All the wounded are doing
well. j. b. hEENEA. :
