How the Women at the Agency Were Saved
by Brave Girl

NEW YORK, Oct. ia special from Denver
gives the following information. which comes
by way OF Indian runners, who are iii COM
munication with Chief Douglas In the noun
tains: When the massacre OF Agent Meeker
and his men took place al the women, COM
prisng Mrs. Meeker and her daughter Jose
phlne and their attendants, were quartered In
Q different building One OF the marauding
Indians started to enter this building. He
was shot dead upon the threshold by one Of
the occupants, who Ia believed to be Miss
Josephine Meeker. This check probably
saved tho women from outrage. 1t was then
that Chief Douglas, one OF the agency In
dians, who had not participated In the hos
ttlities, came forward and prevented further
molestation OF the women's quarter.
Chief Ouray. OF the Los Pinos Agency is
reported as receiving a messenger every six
hours from tho White river Indians, but he 10
cautious In furnishing information, and par
tlcularly careful not to say anything that will
betray the whereabouts Of the hosties, or as-
sist the soldiers In their search for them.
These runners do not know the name of the
Indian who Miss Meeker shot. Allagree that
the Indian who was shot was tall man with
beard and black piercing eyes. 1t Ia not sup
posed that 1t was Chief Jack, although this
description tallies with that OF the most no.
table Of the outlaws.
The greatest uneasiness Is felt here CON
cernlng the situation of the miners on Gunni-
son and Eagle rivers, Of whom there are fully
d thousand scattered about the Indian reser-
walton and adjoining country, and are poorly
armed. An organization has been effected at
Ruby and ut Gunnison.

LONDON, Oct. 15.-The Daily Ners this
afternoon publishes letter from st. Peters
burg which confirms the news of the defeat
of the Russians ut Geok Teppe. The letter
says. The advance column Of the expedition,
after an Intellectual assault on Densel Teppe,
retreated on the main body which fell back
to Beirma during the night
A dispatch from Berlin to the Standard
says: The truth about the Cock Teppe affair ID
gradually leaking out The assault on the
Densel Teppe earthworka was made on the
Plevna plan. After an Intellectual cannonade
the Russians made arush with fixed bayonets,
but were repulsed and retreated in disorder, !,
the Turcoman cavalry attacking the Russian
flank in the rear created such confusion that
when the vanguard reached the main force In
reserve the latter was unable to stem the tide
of retreat and was itself compelled to retire
forty miles before order could be restored.
According to private intelligence received In
st. Petersburg, the Russian loss is much
greater than official reports admit.

Especial Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.l
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 12-An unpleasant
surprise was the lot yesterday Of the Hon.
John Henry Puleston, a member of the Eng
arrived In this city last week. MrPuleston
iirst came TO this country III 1852, and en-
gagged In mercantile pursuits, which were not
successful. He subsequently, started news
paper in Pittston, q small mining town in
Northern Pennsylvania, which soon went the
way Of most country papers. At the begin
ming of the war Gov. Curtin appointed him
State agent, with headquarters at Washing
ton, to look after the supplies for the Penn
sylvana troops. He was removed from this
atterWard returned to England, where he be-
came a member of the firm of Jay Cooke,
McCulloch & Go. It is remarkable that, al
though he held an important position under
the American government, he never. re-
nounced bis allegiance to the Queen of Eng
land. Upon the failure OF the bank
ing firm, he stood for the borough of
Devonport and won the seat in the House
OF Commons. Upon his return last week
he was heartily welcomed by many of his
Old friends. He was feted and feasted, and q
grand banquet was given In his honor at the
Continental Hotel, on Friday evening. There
was one gentleman. however, who had known
Puleston before, who did not go down the bay
TO receive him with open arms. This was Col.
Elisha W. Davis, a member of the Pennsyl-
vania State Senate from the Fifteenth Penn
syIvanta District, and one OF the leaders Of
the Republican party in this State. He sent
an attorney to wait upon Puleston yesterday,
who caused the unpleasant surprise above al
!uded to by stating to the British M. P. that
II he did not promptly pay claim Of $4,000
Davis held against him a sheriff s capias
would be Issued, and, as he was non-res-
dent. he, would be thrown into prison. He

trying to soothe his irate creditor. Col. Davis |
states that in 1865 Puleston gave his note for
$4,000 to gentleman named Haedrick, who
resides In Frankford, Pa, and persuaded
Davis to indorse it. When it fell due the
Colonel was compelled to pay the entire sum,
although he had not received any benefit from
Il. Puleston subsequently repaid him $1,000,
and promised to pay the balance, which he
never did. The remainder, with interest from
1865, and costs, amounts to fully $4,000, and
rs Col. Davis has lost considerable money by t
-he decrease in value Of real estate, he is de-
;ermlned e to recover it. It is probable that
han let him 60 to jail.
