THE "Laughing Hyena," otherwise known as the Nugget, claims to have "nailed" lie in the statement made to an EPITAPH reporter by gentle man from Galeyville, as to the con dltion of affairs in that place. We did not vouch for the trl tn of the statements made at the time, nor did we claim to have received the particulars from Mir. Rodig, who comes out in a card denying the same; but since the statement was made we have learned from reliable persons cognizant of the facts, that it was true in every essential partlcu- lar. They would not allow their names to be used, however, as they feared their lives would be taken if they circulated reports derogatory to the cowboys and their friends. In jus tice to Mir. Rodig we will state that we did not receive one word of in formation from him, nor would we expect it, for he lives in a very ex- posed situation, and he would be murdered in cold blood in less than forty. eight hours if he told all he knew about the rustlers. Let the "Laughing Hyena" grin at thls.

He especially comments the increasing industry of the Indians. of wheat raised by them in any one season did not exceed 600 bushels. This year they have raised and sold COCO bushels, and have enough left for seed. Last year they raised 1,S0O bushels of corn, and this year 12,000 bushels. Besides this, they hsve dug twenty-five miles of irrigation ditches on thelr own account.
 Col. Tiffany says that white men in and about Globe and Maxey have killed more people in the last two years than all the Indians have in five years, including the late outbreak.

Resolutions by an AngIophobist.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The reso- lution of Representative Robinson, which he sought to introduce to-day, recites that the salute to the English flag at Yorktown was without au- thority of Congress and was done at time when England was suspend ing the habeas corpus act, suppress. ing public meetings, and crowding their jails with honorable gentlemen unaccused of crime, some of them American citizens, and others chosen and honored representatives in par lament, their own people; therefore, resolved, that we extend our sym pathies to those patriots and mem- bers of parliament suffering from imprisonment under an unheard-of despotism. The salute to the British flag is declared insulting to the memory of the brave men who a hundred years ago pulled it down and hoped it would never be raised again on American soil," etc.

strict quarantine has been enforced against the
community, and the disease has not spread be-

havoc there. The settlement consists mostly OF
Canadian French, and when the disease first
broke out. they, in their ignorance were unmind-
ful of it, contagious character, and the funerals
were public ones. end were more or less attended
by the whole population. as the settlers are really
OF kind disposition. In this way the disease
spread rapidly: the towns around the neighbOr-
hood quarantined against Jefferson, and the peO-
pie there have been isolated for nearly month
and no mails have been receivedfrOm the place and
none sent The railroad authorities have forbid
their trains to stop there. ElkpOint, the County

contributed To the relief of the suffering people,

him IL is learned that there has been over ninety
cases in the settlement; thirtytwO have died, and
only six have recovered so far. At present there
