we'll behaved Indian. Q cousin Of Dobis

other day for the purpose Of setting his
people Alright in the eyes Of the white
men In regard to the killing Of the In
dian squaw at the funeral OF Dobie
Johns brother, near winnemucca, some
two weeks ago. He says that there were
fourteen Indians present at the funeral,
aud that they killed seven horses be-
longing to the deceased Indian aud laid
them around the grave. This, be says,
10 a custom Of his tribe. He stated for
Their that the squaw killed was the vile
OF the dead Indian. and that she was too
old to work or do anything for herself.
The Indiana in that neiRhborhood looked
upon her a. an evil witch. and said
she had caused the death Of six or eight
good Indians In the last few years. by
poisoning them. He bays that when
she wanted an Inaian to die she would
bite them. from the Effects Of which
they would loon pass to the happy hunt
ing grounds. and all the /; dams were
more or less afraid Of her. Captain Bob
would not say just how she Was killed,
but thought "maybs pat EN- head on

Indians who took part in the killing are
afraid the whites intend calling them to
ocoan for what they have done, and
wish to say that they did not think they
we're doing anything wrong when Kidding
themselves Of one whom they looked
upon as . witch and an enemy to their
tribe.

Just before the occurrence, was yester-
day taken to the Jail for the purpose OF
d!ntifying d Gutteau.
He states that when he got there the
prisoner WAS laying on his bed with the
bed clothing upon him and he saw him
at a great disadvantage. He didn't think
he was the same man till he put his
hand up 10 stroke his beard in peculiar
and nervous manner, which he recog-
nized at once. He has no doubt
about the identity, but says from the
movements of the two men he saw he
is positive that the other man who es-
capped after the shot was fired was the
leading spirit, and was giving Guitteau
directions how to proceed. His
movements were very quick and
nervous. He was a tall man, quite
six feet high, dark complexion and dark
hair and eyes, the latter being very sharp
and restless. This man, as soon as the
shots were fired, went directly up Sixth
street, increasing his gait as he increased
the distance from the scene. Mr.. Gut
ler's first thought was that they were
pickpockets.
Cutler is quiet, honest appearing man,
and is evidently deeply impressed with

ARTHUR'S GOODNESS

Flatly Denied by Everyone, and Every
body is Impressed by His Tender Soli-
citude for Garfield.
New YORK, July A special from
Washington TO the Commercial says:
The unfavorable comments that were
heard yesterday over the supposed
neglect OF General Arthur to call at the
White House, are not heard to-day, but
in their stead warm expressions OF adj
miratiun Of the modesty and manliness
OF his bearing. Everyone who has
seen General Arthur has been much
impressed by mis- conduct and the tender
solcitude exhibited ior the President.
His iervent desire that Garfield may be
saved has impressed everybody
VINO has seen him. His interview
with Mrs. Garfield last evening at the
White House is said to have been very
touching. He WAS unable to control
his own emotion, and tears coursed
rapidly down his cheeks. He has been
deeply touched by the cruel insinua-
tions which sought to create the impress
sion that he wifully remained away
from the White House. The fact is, and
could have been easily ascertained, he
was very desrous OF seeing the Presi-
dent, but members of the family only
being admitted to the bedside OF the
President, prevented it.
