avenue and Western avenue. During
Q dance one of the sharpshooters en-
gagged in a quarrel With Volney Clark,

badly, had him elected from the
grounds. He stated his grievance to
the crowd outside the gates. and gain

were loaded. and volley fred into the
crowd.
CHICAGO, June 23-The Lehr and
Weir Verein. which held a picnic yes>
tsrday outside the city, made no effort
on their return to release prisoners. as
was feared they would. 1t seems that
the picnic was given by Bohemian
Sunday School, aud that . numerous
gang of drunken rouehs had all along
given considerable trouble, until finally
those in charge of matters sent for the
sharpshooters as q protection. They
arrived about 8 o'clock. and shortly
after that time the Trouble began. as
related. The lieutenant tonight denies
that he gave the order to fire, but says
that after the charge there was such q
rain of stones and sticks that his men
began desultory fire without orders.
The members of the company all refuse
to talk. Seventeen are detained, the
| others having been released. The arri.
val of thepolice to conduct them to the
station house probably saved them from
personal violence. which WAS threatened
| by the surrounding excited mob Of
some two thousand. The following is
believed to be q complete list of the
casualties valentine E. Clark, Sc
verely wounded by blows on the head !;
d. H. Wilkie, 3.inch bayonet wound in
the left temple; John Donohoe, left side
of jawbone shattered and shot through
the body below the left nipple-said to
have died; Henry Williams. shot in the
body and neck; Albert jenkins. wound

| WASHINGTON, d. g., June ga Gu
rious story comes from Ysnkton, Dakota,
to the effect that Il hslf-breed daughter
of the late General Sully, now living at
White Swans village. and member Of
the Sioux tribe. will be the rightful
heir of his property. Sully. it is said.
left valuable estate in Philadelphia.
also q considerable accumulation of
money. 1t is said that he had no lawful
wife or other issue but this daughter
Julia, a tall. handsome girl, but wholly
uneducated, at present making her
home in the family of Collins Lanouut,
. man Of mixed blood. Steps are being
taken, it is further said, to esta blish
Julia's right to the property. The
marriage Of Gen. Sully to her mother,
according to the Indian fashion, is said
to be susceptible of proof. It is GER
tainly true that Sully. like good many
officers of the army, including jeff .
Davis and one or two Generals now
very high in command. left illegitimate
children among the Indians. and it is
we'll known on the Missouri river that
one or two handsome girls, nearly white,
living in q camp on Little Pheasant
Prairie until . short time since, have
been considered Sully's children. The
rest of the story may be an invention.
The President has approved the Army
Appropriation bill.
