EVERY day develops new and start

Democratic official folly in Maine. 1t
now appears that the irregularities"
were caused by the State Government.
Blanks for election returns were sent
out from the Secretary of States Office
with room for only three City Coun-
cilmen's signatures instead of four.
This, it will be remembered, was the
reason the votes of the cities were
thrown out. The man who printed
these blanks was Pillsbury. Plilsbury

. Friday night after the train from

ly up, to the ticket office and called for
ticket to some point in the South,
asking the ticket agent, Mr.. Will.
Fillenger, what the price was. Mr..
Fillenger told him $l6.25. The strang-
er placed $1,000 in the ticket.office
window and stepped back-as the
ticket agent thought, to feel in his
pocket for the remainder of the
money, The agent placed an
ink stand on the money, which
had 7erbeen paid, and stood
waiting for the rest, when quick as
iashan arm was thrust in at the win
dow and the money snatched away.
The stranger pretended not to notice
the theft, stepped back to the window,
with the remaining quarter and de-
manded the ticket, which Mr.. Fill
linger' very. quietly refused to give
him, when. the foiled schemer skunk

Wholesale Slaughter Of Indians.

A TT. Robinson, w. r. dispatch
of Jan. 10th says: The hostile
Cheyennes imprisoned here since
last October, having been inform.
ed by the commanding officer, u few
days ago, that they were to be taken
back TO their agency in the Indian Ter
ritory, determined to die rather than
consent to such movement. Since
the information was impaired to them
they have become very sullen and have
repeatedly expressed determination
to die before consenting to such a
movement. They have become very
stubborn for the past few days, and fear
ing an attempt to escape, the post com
missioner has placed strong guard
over their prison room. Last night,
about II o'clock, while nearly everyone
was in bed except the ever-watch-
full guard, the savages jumped through
the windows of the prison room,
and made for the cold prairie, which is
thickly coated with frozen snow, firing
on the guard with revolvers they had
concealed aince their capture, danger
ously wounding four Of the guard, one
of whom has since died, and another is
not expected to live through the day.
The main guard rushed out Of the
guard-house upon hearing the firing,
and when ascertaining the cause and
seeing the fleeing hostles running for
the mountains, Immediately followed
and opened fire, shooting and killing
over forty OF the savages. Over one
hundred and sixty of the cavalry,
mounted and dismounted, are still in
pursuit of the fleeing savages. The
sharp bang Of the carbines in the hands
Of Our men can be heard from the hills,
three miles distant, where the savages
have evidently made stand. 1t Is
thought not one of tfem can escape.
Further particulars soon.
A later dispatch says: At $3.50 p.
NJ. the troops are still in pursuit Of the
escaped Indians. Thirty-seven, nearly
all Of whom are squaws and children,
have either surrendered or been cap
tured; eight are under guard here; "a
are still out, including about fifteen
warriors, among whom is Chief Dull
Knife, enormously reported dead lasi
night. Wild Hog, Old Grow and Left
Hand, head men, are among the re-
captured. The dead bodies Of Indians
brought into the post for burial number
twenty warriors, eight squaws and two
children. Five soldiers were wounded
two Of them, privates, have died; Others
not dangerously injured. Private Fer
