INDIANS IsSOLENT.
An Attempted Outrage--indians In the
kittitas Country Preparing for War.

A gentleman from the Kittitas coun.
try reports that serious trouble is antic.
ipated with the Indians, who are daily
becoming more insolent and demonstra.
tive. Recently a buck belonging to
Moses gang attempted an outrage on IA
white woman; but her screams brought
seyera! men, who were at work within
hearing distance, to the rescue. and the
Indian fed. Just previous to his (our
informant's) departure the Indian was
discovered in the same vicinity and ar
rested by band of citizens. lie again
proved to be a desperate villain, and at
first resolved upon standing off, the
entire party. The settlers concluding
that here was their opportunity of met
ing out to the wretch the punishment
which he SO justly deserved. resolved
upon sending him off to the happy
bunting grounds on short notice. So
they made grand charge on him with
be butts of their rifles, and one settler
dealt so heavy blow as to break off the
stock of his gun. However, the Indian
lodged about aud finally got away under
cover of the darkness, which was now
coming on, without sustaining any other
injuries--it has since been ascertained
from his comrades Oh the reservation
than broken jaw and several severe
bruises about the head. The Indians
are all greatly incensed over this pro,
eeduro and declare they will have re-
venge. The indians are preparing, it
is generally believed, for an attack upon
the white settlers just as soon as oppor,
tunity shall present itself. The ugly
breach between them and the settlers is
being widened every day, our informant
states, and both parties are arming
themselves for an outbreak. Numerous
complaints are made against Semitic and
other merchants on the Sound, whom
the settlers claim are supplying the In
dams with all the arms and ammunition
they want. Recently, our informant
states. an Indian returned via the Sno.
qualmie pass from this section with
three kegs of powder on one pack ami
nal. The restless feeling engendered
this among the settlers by these well
grounded apprehensions of Indian
troubles, coupled With the general ex-
element manifested over the outrageous
project of establishing an ''Tndian Bot.
any Bay IN the very heart of their
country. for the accommodation of the
savage hordes Of the Columbia, has well
nigh driven them to desperation. They
are for the most part. beginning to feel
just as If they would sooner fight than
not, and are making no effort to concil,

Some Of the officials concluded that
johnson had wandered back into the

The NORTH Pacific Times still harps
upon the corporation and railroad arti
cles Of the Constitution. 1T remarks as
follows; ID
Its corporation and railroad articles
are such as not even many of the older
aud fully developed States could afford
to adopt; whereas, IN our young com.
munity, where all are poor, and the
great, want Of capital keeps us down so
that We can do nothing, these articles
are stupendous follies.
Did it ever occur to you Mr.. Times
that the reason why several of the States
Were unable to adopt similar restrictions
npoa corporations and railroads. was be
cause of the fact that the talons of these
corporations and railroads had so fast a
hold upon Legislators in those older
States that the people could not control
them, and are not the people of several
Of those States now merely serfs to the
railroad magnates. 1t was the policy Of
our Constitutional makers that if posi-,
BILE the people should maintain their
freedom. to hold an equal voice with
corporations in debating the terms upon
which corporations and railroads should
have the privileges Of existence and op,

nothing more was intended and nothing
more was attained in the present Con-
sttution. But this much was attained.
But again you call us poor because our
individual capital is not concentrated in
few hands. is not every man in Wash

not nearly every man able to pay his

government, and is not the government
OF Washington healthy in its finances,
and competent to meet still further de.

now operating within her borders which
are not taxed one cent to support the
government. 1t is proposed by the
present Constitution to make the cor
rorations, the railroads and the boarded
church property, pay their proportion
of the burdens of the government, which
protects them and the poor alike. Is
this wrong in principle? Will it be
found wrong or unjust in practice to
the poor man who earns his daily bread
by the sweat Of his brow? You neigh

THE SITUATION IN BODIE.

The Bodie Standard of Thursday presents
the following as among the most interesting
features of the situation in that district:
There has never before been so much ex-
element and stir i'll Bodie as within the past
two weeks The strike i'll the Bodie mine was
of such unexpected richness, and the stock
advanced so rapidly, that it has improved the
value of all property in the camp, and CORES
pondlnely elated the community. The Ok
element during the early part of the present
week was intense, caused by the advance in
Tioga and Bechtel, and the placing on the
board of McClinton and Red Cloud. During
the evenings people gathered in knots about
the streets, talking over the situation. Quite
extensive transactions in stocks have taken
place, most of which have been in Belvldere,
which seems to be favorite at present, but
more or less sales have been made i'll every
stock in the camp
While the stocks are active, the mines are
no less SO. The west slope of Silver Hill has
taken new life, and work has been recon-
menced on nearly all the old abandoned
claims on that slope. The progress of work
in the South Standard, owned principally by
Hon. G. C. Stevenson and Gold Hill parties,
will be looked forward to with great interest
The Riqueza, Rustler, Goodshaw, Champion
and Paris are all working forces now night
and day. On the east slope of the hill I o
less energy is displayed, and more important,
or more extensive work is being done. The
Aurora Tunnel is being pushed forward, and
will demonstrate the value of Silver Hill !;
the May Belle, owned principally by ex
Senator Stewart, will be sunk to depth Of
400 feet. The Red Cloud, next south of the
May Belle, is down 400 feet, and running
crosscut east on the level, with every indica
ton of opening out big mine. Still further
south, on the west slope again are the Spauld-
ing and Booker, both with excellent pros
poets. Further along are the Richer and
Sigourney, with numerous other claims of
lesser Importance at present, but which may
turn out splendid properties in the future.
The mines on Bodie Bluff and High Peak
are all doing well, the Bodie and the Stand
ard, of course, taking the lead. The yield
of the Bodie Wednesday was over $4,000.
The Bechtel is having ore crushed at their
mill, and is doing first rate. The McClinton
is opening up nicely, as will be seen in the
description of our reporter, published else
where in today .Stdndari The Belvidere
and Bulwer are both prospecting some very
rich lodges, and the Tioga, Syndicate Tunnel
aud other claims on the extreme north look
well
Indeed, the whole belt, for three miles, is
more active and promising than ever before,
and it is perfectly proper that everybody
should be excited and feel as good as they do.

THE QUEER TOWN OF RENO.

Yhe true queerness of the queer town of
i;oao is set forth as follows by the Journal Of
yesterday:
Ever since the citizens began to guard the
town against any overt act on the part of law
l"ssuass ones, every stranger ont nights has
hal 10 render strict account of himself. A
tramp, wishing to get over considerable
@rDund before the sun rose, was hastily walk
ns up Commercial Row at about | . clock
Thursday morning, when just at Barnetts
corner man stepped in front Of him and,
a,vcring him with a shotgun, demanded
whore he was from Virginia" "Where
lea VAS going2" Verdi. "Well, sir, said
'ho sentry, "you just take the center of that
track and don't you leave it until you are out

laoking gun, the tramp fastened to obey. He

"thrr gun was poked in his face, and the
slime questions asked and answered Start
my once more on his journey to the Western
addition, another gun, with man behind it,
stopped him. His answers were satisfactory
and the familiar order was repeated, when
he spoke up: "What kind of id town is

iron in your face and tells you to get, and you
hct Pm going?' The officer tells this on him
self and smiles out loud at the tramps dis

THE NYE COUNTY DELEGATION.

The Eureka Leader deals with the vexed
question of appointed delegates as follows:
Daggett ought to have waited until he heard
ION Lincoln county before writing that scath-
ii,.y editorial ON the action of the Nye County
committee. However,, his article was correct
IN principle, and applies equally as we'll to
both counties. 1t Is a high handed proceed
ING on the part of any committee to arrogate
TO themselves the right to give expression to
the preferences of the party without consult
ing the rank and file, and will end in their
confusion and defeat Give the voters a
chance and the devil take the hindmost
EsBefore we condemn county committee men
FOR exercising their Judgment and authority
A. they will, let us first prescribe rules for
taeir guidance. The committees are the crea-
.lres and plenary agents of the county con-
yentions; and if these representative bodies
viii but adopt distinct and invariable plan
tlore will be something to steer by. But I'M
ill the conventions of the party do this thing
there will continue to be just such proceed
incs as these which characterize the action of
tho central committees of Nye and Lincoln.
And for that matter, they are amply justified
by precedent. AS to what was done in Nye,
4 private letter informs us of the reasons for
what was done there They are, briefly stated,
Is follows:
lst. There are many little precincts scat
tered all over the county whose representation
~, tho county convention would be impossible
oAyo by proxies.
md The county was thoroughly canvassed
ocsoro tho decision OF the committee was
mode.
81 The Republicans of Nve are almost
unanimously in favor of Common.
These reasons are good ones. Moreover
the central committee is composed of some of
tln very best citizens and most ardent Re
JuJGcans in the county. The vote in the
crnnty is very close between the two parties,
anl it was not deeIned advisable to put the
party to the strain and expense of a primary
election when the committees action IN the
premises was all-satisfying. 1t seems then
tha. so far from being IAN outrage, The &C
i'5n of the committee was very wise, very
r.o ,,rvative and very popular. There is no
thing therefore, for anybody to find fault
- us
