Soldiers and Miners after In
dians.
Two White Leaders and -Four Men
Killed.
The Indians Get Away with Their
Dead and Wounded;

CHICAGO, Aug. 23.-Denver's San
te Ee specials give the following &C.
count of fight in Lake Valley a few
days ago: Lieut.. Smith and his force
oftwenty men had been on trail for
several days and by forced marches
overlook Indians near McEnery's
rancho in Lake Valley District. The
Indians were strong and numerous,
and Smith attacked them expect
ing reinforcements from troops follow
ing some distance behind. Soldiers
were being rapidly shot down when at
a critical moment George Daley with
his force of twenty miners arrived and
Joined in the fight, and the Indians
were routed with great floss. They,
however, carried off their dead and
wounded so that their loss could not
be ascertained. The whites lost Geo.
Daley, Lieut.. Smith and four men
killed and eleven wounded. The kill
ed and wounded except Daley are all
supposed to be ex-soldiers. Daley s
part lin the attack rewout of an at
tack BY Apaches on his camp in which
the Indians were opposed by all the
miners in camp, Daley commanding
and repulsed them. Daley at once
collected twenty men and started in
pursuit, overtaking the Indians as
above. Smith was one of the best off
GERS in the Ninth Cavalry; he has been
engaged in several Indian campaigns
and was several times rewarded for
bravery. Lieutenant Dimmick, with
a company of cavalry, and Lieutenant
Taylor, with twenty Indian scouts, who
were but a few hours behind Nara's
main band, arrived during the evening
and without stopping continued in
pursuit. They have probably over.
taken the Indians before this, as the
latter would be considerably delayed
by carrying or burying their dead
The hostiles are near the Mexican
line, evidently making for Uhihuahus
and are we'll armed and mounted
The Mescalero's, who have been fight,
ing with Nara, are trying to sneak
back into the 'agency by twos and
threes. A company of cavalry has
been ordercdto guard the Hillsboro
and Lake Valley settlements and if
possible to cut off or hold Nara's band
until Taylor and Dimmick overtake
them.

TAXPAYERS should remember that
penalties will accrue on all unpaid
State and county taxes for 1880 on
and after the first of September, prox-
imo. The taxes for 1881 must be paid
by the last of October, otherwise a
penalty will be charged on and after
the first Of November 1881. The
State tax for 1880 is ten cents for
ordinary purposes and ten cents for
schools. The State tax for 1881 was
fixed by the last Legislature at forty
cents on the one hundred dollars,
worth of taxable property, including
the school tax of ten cents. The total
State tax therefore to be paid this
year amounts to sixty cents, to say
nothing Of county and municipal
taxes. Those who would avoid heavy
penalties should remember the dates
given above and try to pay up in time.
In Shelby county the county tax for
1880 is as follows: County purposes,
30; judgmcnts,lO; NJ. & 0. railroad tax,
s; school tax, 20; total. 65. Altogether
it foots up a pretty heavy tax, but it
has to be paid, and there is no use
grumbling about it.

throughout Germany; winter and
spring sowings are in marked contrast
the former yielding good and the lat
ter very defective crops. Oats are
very good; barley, thin; none of the
crops are of an average. In the Prus-
sian States the crops are fair. The
Swiss crop is very poor in qaantity,
owing to drought, but in quality it is
very fine. Oats and barley are good
in quantity and quality, but there is a
small area sown Of the latter. Belgian
wheat is far below the average; barley,
good, rye and oats, fair. All the crops
in Spain are bad.

THE Attorney General seems to bt
moving against the water works Com
pauy in earnest. The people have liv'
ed on promises so long that this steT
seems to be the only recourse left
Much might be said on this subject
We have discussed it quite freely from
a standpoint of public interest anC
public right. Ifpeople prefer to sub
nit tamely to this sort of thing they
can do so. Most of them have PAID
their water bills six months in ad'
vance. Getting no water they say"Wby
don't the papers pitch into emf
Well, we have pitched into 'em,
but it does not seem to do any good
We have told the people that without
an abundance Of water sickness would
increase, and sure enough there were
tbirty-seven deaths last week. We
1have told them Of the danger in case
Of a fire, to say nothing of the discom-
fort, Inconvenience and injustice q
being driven to such a desperate strait
The company is composed Of good cit
liens, whom personally we esteem and
respect, but in looking after their own
interests in their mania for max
ing a big pile of money out of rela-
lively small Investment, they seem to
have lost sight of the rights of the
people, and to take the utmost stretch
of advantage Of a forbearing, good
natured, unresisting spirit. Their
ability to collect bills in advance is
unsurpassed; their ability to supply
Memphis with water has yet to be
demonstrated. At first the Company
had some excuse and we voluntarily
asked for suspension Of public opin-
ion; but it is difficult to find an ex-
cuse for keeping the people out Of wa
ter nearly year and all the while col
lecting pay for nothing and under the
most arbitrary and imperious rules.
A Citizens Union could bring the
Company to to terms and compel them
to return the mouey paid for all the
time no water was furnished.

EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WASHINGTON, d. G.
August %, Z am.

W AsHlhGIONi ~. y.
August %, Z am.
DR.. Bliss feels encouraged at the
condition in which he finds his patient
this morning. He says the President
rested well during the night, and that
beef tea was given to him severa'
times and retained by his stomach
His pulse this morning at an early
hour ranged at 100.
Second Dispatch-S:SO am.
The President slept the greater
portion Of the night, but awoke al
frequent intervals. He has taker
since last evening larger quantity o.
liquid food by the mouth than in cor,
responding hours Of any day the past
week. The use of the nutrical enc
mata is continued at longer intervals
The parotid swelling is unchanged
Pulse 100, temperature 9S4, respira.
ton IS.
Third Observation-Disclosures
The condition of the President has
not materially changed since yester-
day afternoon, and he is yet a subject
of grave anxiety. The improved tone
of the patients stomach, which gave
some encouragement to his attendants
yesterday, is still maintained, and this
is the most hopeful feature of the case
He has taken this morning six and a
half ounces of beef juice without nau-
sea or any other symptom of gastric
disturbance. Upon the continuance
for several days at least, of this ability
to take and assimilate food, and upon
the continued absence of further COM
plications, would seem to rest the pa
tents chances of recovery. If the
wound continues to do well, ifno seri.
Gus consequences result from the
swelling OF the parotid gland, and if
the stomach continues to take food
enough to make good the waste caused
by suppuration, there will at least be
improvement enough in the next four
or five days to carry the patient to a
higher plane Of vitality and perhaps to
put him on the road-although not on
the sure road-to recovery. The con-
tinuance ofthese favorable conditions,
however, while universally hoped for,
can not be confidently predicted. DR..
Agnew returned to Philadelphia this
morning.
Fourth Dispatch-.O .OhiciaI--I2:3O
The President continues to take by
the mouth and retain an increased
quantity of liquid food. At themorn-
ing dressing the wound looked well,
and the pus was Of healthy character
The mucous accumulation in the back
Of the mouth, on account of the par
otid swelling, is less viscid and now
gives but little trouble. At present
his pulse is l04, temperature 99-9, res
piration 18.

crowded out for want of space and

TRIBUTE TO MORRIS FREIBERG AND

The chimes that sound so calm to the ear,
Are the solemn-like tolls of the bell.
As they awake our thoughts in dreamy feaI
Of those we love so we'll.
AS the dOleful death. knell is sounded for thorC
Who have left this world OF care,
Our hearts will beat for those who are gone
To reside in Gods own sphere.
The solemn sounds will strike the mind
In memories Of the past;
To think of the future is left behind,
For us to repent at last.
Ye who never knelt at Gods holy shrine.
Think of the past with dread,
And repent in time, to him divine,
Ye cannot do it when dead.
Death comes uncalled, on his own chosen day,
To take his subjects at pleasure;
His grasp is sure to all in his way,
He waits for no ones leisure.
