About hostile Indians. They were en-
ployed to chop wood in what is known
here as the Big Basin at head waters OF
the main Cottonwood. They arrived
at their destination on Thursday even
ing 10Th inst, and built their camp,
cooked supper and were standing near
the fire when they heard what they be-
leved to be gun shot. One being
struck on the lip, they lost no time in
the order of going but started at once
on the run for the valley, distant five
miles, reaching old Camp Scott about
o'clock A. NJ, being about six hours
on the route and travelling very near 20
miles, according to their account, over
the toughest mountains in the country.
On the morning of the 10th, the youngest
man of the two, armed with a Henry
rifle, and accompanied by an old Coaster,

about noon, the older man whom they
had passed on the trail arriving soon
after. All three eat Lunch, turned
their horses to Craze, and stretched
themselves on the grass. Howard be.

Gent and the wood-choper next the
creek. The youngest one of the wood
choppers arriving emly in the morning
and finding everything as he had left it,
buckled on two six shooters that were
hanging in his, tent, started off to- chop
wood, half mile from camp, taking a
Henry rifle with him. He returned to

RAISED HIS Gun TO SHOOT
But being frightened he could not hold
it steady, so he crawled up behind a
large rock within 40 yards of the sleeper,
resting his gun on the rock, he, cooked
it, and with finger on the. trigger, was
in the act of firing when Gent happened
to move. This caused the Young maa
to lower his gun and glide down the
creek haiti mile below, getting into
the road and running full speed. FIVE
miles to Camp Scott, where he arrived
perfectly exhausted, and reported the
Indians in full chase close bshind him.

horse thieves wanted provisions aud

signs, then we hunted for

Like a gun shot. Their camp being on
an old camp ground, it is possible that
their fire was built too close to lost

is, that it was the bursting of hot

Valuable Results Of Inquiries Abroad.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-Reports from U. S.
Consuls on the condition of labor in the sever
al countries of Europe, provided for publica-
ton by the Department of State, will be ready
for distribution in few days. These reports
cover all phases of the labor question in
Europe and show the following startling facts:
First-That wages in the United States are
double those of Belgium, Denmark France
and England, three times those of Germany,
Italy and Spain, and four times those of the
Netherlands.
Second-That the prices of the necessaries
of life are lower in the United States than in
Europe and that the laborer in the United
States, were he satisfied with the scanty and
miserable fare upon which Europe must live.

it can be purchased i'll Europe.
Third-That French working people with
far less wages are happier than the working
people OF Great Britain, who receive the high
est wages in Europe, / account of the steadi-
ness and economical habits of the former and
the strikes, drinking habits and consequent
recklessness of the latter
Fourth-That more misery results from
Strikes drinking, Socialism and Communism
in England and Germany than from all other
causes combined, hard times included. Con-
gress only provided for the publication of 10,

LOUISVILLE, Aug. 5.-Specials to the Courier
Journal indicate falling off of the Democratic
vote cast at the election for the State officers
and members of the Legislature. The Demo-
cratic Central committee estimate the total
vote at not over 100000, a falling off of over
$4,000 on the Tilden and Cooper votes and over
$1,000 on the last gubernatorial vote. In this
city alone the vote falls over 5000. The
Republicans make slight gains in the Legisla-
but the Democratic majority is still over

for a Constitutional convention falls for the

WASHINGTON.
The Recent Attempt to Extort Money
from the U. S. Consul at Gibraltar

The Recent Attempt to Extort Money
from the U. S. Consul at Gibraltar
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-Mr. Sprague, for
many years consul at Gibraltar, communicates
to the Department of State the particulars of
base attempt to extort money. On the 9th of
July the consul received an anonymous letter,
purporting to be from six men, demanding a
loan of $4,000. The letter goes into all the de-
tails of conveying the money to the conspira-
tors, and threatens death to the consul and
family in case of failure to deposit the money
in the designated place. The whole affair is
arranged in the most circumstantial manner
and bears the marks of practced hands. The
consul communicated the facts to the police,
and detectives were employed.
On the 18th of July, the day for depositing
the money having passed, another letter, more
threatening, but reducing the amount to 5000,
was received. In this letter the brigands
showed that they were cognizant of all that
had taken place since the receipt of the first
letter-the movements of the Consul and his
family and of the police. Mr.. Sprague has
laid the whole matter before our Minister at
Madrid, who will probably bring it to the at
tention of the Spanish government.
