THE INDIAN FIGHT.
NOT se Bad as Reported.

Denver, 29.-The Republican is 10 re-
ceipt Of sdYicos from source considered
reliable, which greatly reduces the
magnitude of the late Indian fight. The
su bstance of the information is as follows:
Not long after the cattlemen arrived in
the Indian country, Billy May, one Of
the leaders, concluded that the men were
too noisy, and being unable TO get them
in their proper trim he, with six Others,
left the main party. Only thirteen In
dians were encountered, and but nine
castiemen went into the fight, the re-
mainder apparently seeing the trap the
Indians were laying. TIE nine men
pursued the Indians and the latter pushed
their fight uutil they had drawn the
pursuers into canyon, where they turned
and fred, and two Of the nine were killed
and seven wounded. William May and
companions, who were reported missing,
have reached the big bend of the Dolores
in safety. At last sccounts the thirteen
Indians engaged in the fight had crossed
the Colorado line and were en- route to
the Uncompahgre agency, with their
squaws and cattle One squaW is re-
ported as receiving a shot while herdiDg
cattle and sheep.
The Republican adds: 1t is an i'm
portant fact in estimating the dangers
caused by the late fight tpat in none Of
the reports have miners appeared as
taking hand in the fight II there had
been fight it would likely cause general
outbreak. It seems that the miners
would be sufficiently interested to be
among the volunteers.

The Indian Territory Trouble.

Washington, 28.-Ins,ructions were
mailed to-day from the Indian Office 10
United States Agent Tufts, Muskogee,
Indian Territory. Tufts was directed, in
conformity with the decision of the at
torney general, TO give notice to the par
ties interested that reasonable time, say
thirty days from July lst, will be al
lowed within which they can make ar
engagements 10 comply with the Choctaw

and call the aid of police should his force
prove insufficient.

The Gould Murder.

London, 28.-The murder of Gould,
on the London and Brighton Railway,
exeites intense interest. The real name
of LEROY, who is suspected, is Henry
Napoleon. He eluded the police and is
missiug. The murdered man Gould was
in the habit of travelling on the trAia in
question. Some articles, such as Han
oYerian tokens, were found on The per-
son of LEROY, and also beside the MUIR
dered man, which, it is thought, will
implicste LEROY.
LEROY claimed TO be the author of
"Pins and Needles" now being played
in the United States; and also the author
of several burlesques and opera boutfes
performed in Melbourne and Australia.

STAR ROUTE FRAUDS.

We notice that very little seems
to be doing at Washington for the
last few weeks towards pushing the
investigation of the gigantic frauds
perpetrated by Brady, Dorsey and
others in the postal departments of
the government. POstmaster-Gen.
James gave great promise of much
needed reform and correction, in
the conduct of this very important
branch of the civil service, by his
prompt discovery of the criminal
transactions of Brady and his thiev-
ing contractors but the country
will not rest contented with the
simple expulsion of these men from
their official positions. The people
want to see them prosecuted to the
full extent Of the law, and, if guilty,
placed behind the bars of peniten-
tiary. The first flush of these Off
cial thieves from their cover dis
closed mass of corruption which
startled the county. Upon the
very surface of the Investigation it
was shown that Brady, Dorsey and
a horde of dishonest contractors had
pOcketed hundreds of thousands OF
dollars of government funds, for
which no service was rendered.
The people desire and demand a
full and thorough sitting of the
whole nefarious business. Nothing
short of this will satisfy them.

In the extract, from the interview
of Maj. w. Sykes with a Column
bia Herald reporter, published in
our last issue, occurred the following
sentence:
Even if it were settled at 1913
two years hence the debt would
then be 10000, 900 and $9O0,0 in
terest.
1t should have been 10000, 600
and 100000 interest. While on
this subject we will call attention
to some important facts stated by
him. First, that "under the 1908
settlement the taxation in Tennes-
see, state, county and municipal is
less than in any other state in the
Union" If this is not so, let it be
contradicted. Second, that since
the regulators commenced their
agigatiOn The assessed value of prop
erty has declined IN Tennessee $780,
252,096. This is what they have
done by their miserable policy.
Whilst our state has been decreas-
ing, debt-paying states have been
increasing, i'm value. So much for
reputation.

Mr.. SAM Nj. GAINES, for more
than ten years past the editor u the
Hopkinsville New Era, has his
valedictOry in the last issue Of that
paper, resigning his position its eli-
tor. Mr.. Gaines, as is generally
known throughout this section of
the country, is a candidate for the
clerk of the court of appeals OF Ken
lucky, and us the duties incident to
his candidacy for that position re-
quired his almost continual absence
from home, he found it impossible
to fulfill the OnerOus duties of edi-
tor, and therefore resigned. The
news of this step will be received
with universal regret by every
reader of his valued and readable
paper, and his brother editors viii
miss the bright scintillatiOns of his
mind as a Photographer and editori-
al writer. He is a gifted and fluent
writer, and was an ornament 10
journalism. We wish him success in
his race for clerk of the court of APP
peals and believe he will be elected.
If the press has any voice and inlu-
ence in the race, his election is as
sured. The New Era will be con-
tinued under the editorial manage
ment of Col. John ID. Morris and
Mr.. Jas. Wood, with Mr.. John w.
Payne as local editor and business
manager. There need be no fear
but that these gentlemen viii keep
it up to its high standard.

Tmm,gration 1ot.c soath

Wm.' A. Pope, the general pas
senger and transportation agent of
the associated railways of Virginia
and the CarOlinas, seems TO be meet
ing with success in turning German
immigration towards the South.
He has organized bureau of i'm
migration and sent an agent to
Europe. As a result, within the
past thirty days he has brought in
to the country 500 immigrants,
which number will he increased to
1000 by the end of the present
month. He is locating these i'm
migrants along the lines of the rail-
ways with which he is connected
wherever they can find employment
or comfortable homes. Up to the
present time 220 of these immi-
grants have been landed at Sails
bury, N. c., as a central point,
where they are looked after by the
state immigration bureau until
they have secured employment or
selected homes for themselves, in
which they have found no trouble
as yet, being promptly employed
and welcomed by the farmers, to
whom they seem to give entire sat
isfactiOn.

MORE OFFICIAL CORRUPTION.


"a new broom sweeps clean"
and it seems that at every. whisk of
these useful household articles in
the hands of the new officials about
Washington, some hidden job of
corruption and thievery is unearth-
ed. This time it is D. l.. Pitney,
custodian of the United States treas
ury building, whose rascality and
peculatiOns have been discovered.
The developments in the investiga-
ton of his official accounts grow
more alarming the further they are
Investigated. The duty of this
sWeet-scented ward of the govern
ment was, it seems, to purchase
everything needed in the treasury
building from its furniture and car
pets to its books and papers, and
from the lowest bidder. This law
he totally disregarded, by forming
rings with certain chums and pals
from whom he purchased the neces-
sary articles at the most exorbitant
figures, keeping no account on his
books or vouchers therefor. One of
his subordinates testified in the in
vestigation of the matter, that;
All of his time, for several years,
has been consumed in doing work
for outside parties, instead of work.
| ing for the government that he
| spent one month in working on Il
new house owned by high govern
ment official that he frequently
went from one house to another of
persons in government employ,
doing whatever they wanted, and
the money paid for his services was
\ charged round to different govern
ment bureaus. He swears that he
made fifteen fac SMILES IF the desk
used by Jefferson when he wrote
the Declaration of Independence,
and which was presented to the
government a year or 50 ago; that
each of these limitation desks cost
$50, the material for which was
paid for out of government money,
and charged among the materials
needed for government uses. These
| fiftaon desks were given out as
| presents by the authorities in the
treasury to friends. The furniture
belonging to the treasury has been
| loaned out on occasions of recep-
tions at certain residences.
1t does seem strange, that such
open and barefaced robberies of the
government as the 'Star Route"
frauds and the one above men
toned have not been detected
long ago and the guilty parties
have a just punishment melted out
to them. Secretary Window is
doing good work in exposing these
cOrruptions, and if he will only con-
tinue i'm his task, he will receive
the commentator of all the good
people of the country.

IT is fact worthy of comment,
that the reforms now being under
taken in the post-Office and other
departments of the government,
were instigated by an administra-
ton to which the most prominent
leaders of the republican party are
fiercely antagonisIic. They were
also opposed to the preceding adj
ministration, and derided any at
tempt of Hayes to work any reform.
How long are the people going to
believe in such men? 1t is a favor
able sign of the times that public
sentiment is now the avOwed enc
my of such men.

rights and contracts depended upon
the act IN question, but he refused
to hear proof as to the motives Of
the men who voted for il. This
has been accepted as the universal
law on this question, and the men
who filed this bill must have
known that they would never be
put TO the proof of their scandalous
allegations of fraud. That the COM
plainants should go to Jack Will
liams, notorious repudiatOr and
political agitator, to get their fiat, Is
in itself suspicious. We do not
doubt but that their injunction will
be promptly dissolved by Chancel-
Tor Merritt, and when this il done,
this will be practically the end of
their gambling scheme. for the new
bonds viii DC at once issued, and
when that is once done, all room for
either legislature or adjudication is
forever gone. The attitude of the
low-taxers appealing now TO the
courts, when they have been de-
nouncing them as corrupt, and re-
fusing to submit the question OF the
validity of the state debt to them,
is, to say the least, remarkable, and
worthy of comment. Whether the
settlement was one which would
originally have met the approval oi
a majority or not may be question:
able, but the settlement having
been made, we do not hesitate to
