The poW.freund, German Catholic organ

affairs of Archbishop Purcell, which it has
reason to fear may be worse than repre-.
sented. German Catholics charge that the
money, much of which is their own, has gone
to build Irish churches. They fear the
church property will be liable to levy.
The members of these congregations say
they received none Of the four millions in
question, and they cannot understand why
the church property for which they have
already sacrificed so much, should be held
for debts by which they were not benefited.

and went on with his work. The explosion
occurred about fifteen minutes afterward.

Weiser, that settlers in that locality she
three weeks previously had organized\o !
pursue into the Salmon river mountains the
band of Indians who, after being dispersed
by Gen. Howard last summer had raided
that country, drove off stock and killed
Munday and two others who pursued them,
killed Dan Crooks and his companion,
while sleeping in their camp, and made
their escape into the mountains between
Payette and the south fork of the Salmon
river. These Indians were reported to be
returning towards Payette when the settlers
organized to intercept them. They pro
ceeded across to Payette and soon found
signs OF Indians. They quietly recon.
noitered and made the discovery Of their
camp. Waiting favorable opportunity,
when all were in camp and not in the least
expecting the near presence of white men,
they suddenly surprised and attacked them
and killed twenty six of their number,
nearly annihilxting tho whole camp.
Only two or three are known to have escaped
death.
