Santa Fe special says that General Byrne |
of Fort Worth, Texas, who was wound |
ed by the Indians in the recent attack on |
the mail coach between Quitman and |
Eagle Springs, died last night of the |
wounds. The Indians are on the MeXi- |

moraliZed and have lost considerable |
men. They have made no stand since |
the fight on Rattlesnake Canon.

mand are now at Sulphur Springs follow
ing large trail, and part of the com
mand, under Capt. Nolan, have already
arrived at Quittman in pursuit. Gen.

countering and heading Victoria off and
driving him back into Mexico. 1t is be-
lieved that the L. S. troops will cross the
river and take up and follow Victoria's
trail
A Significant Straw.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Aug. IA
special election was held to-day in the
sixth ward, which is of general interest.
A Democratic councilman having re-
signed, David Phillips, Republican, was
elected by eighty-tWo majority over
Ernest Blewell, Democrat. Both parties
contested the election vigorously, and
brought out full vote. The ward is in
habited mostly by railroad men and
iron-Workers. The Republicans gain a
majority of the council, and the control
| of the city is transferred to them. The
result is regarded as of great import
ance. The Greenback vote, which used
| to be so strong in the ward, was distrib-
uted between the old parties.

oner for confinement, induced sheriff
Rucker to unlock the doors. As soon as
this was done, they seized Rucker and
locked him in a cell. They then took
Watkins and departed, since when no
trace of the men or Watkins has been
discovered. One theory is that heiis or
namenting some tree in the vicinity.
| Another is that the mob were his friends
and took this means to rescue him from
the officers of the law.
