lives on farm near Reedville, Washington

through the head with rife. A few days
before he had some dispute with his daugh-
ter, grown young woman. During the
quarrel, Algesheim few into furious pas
sion. He snatched up pistol and discharged
it at mis- daughter. The ball passed through
the feshy portion Of her arm, inficting a
painful wound. After the shot was fired
Algesheim suddenly realized what he had
done, and supposing he had killed the girl,
and without pausing TO ascertain the fact, he
Immediately left his house and fed to the
woods. Search was made for him for several
days, and yesterday his remains were found.
He supposed he had killed his daughter, and
overcome with remorse shot himself, thus
evading the consequences of his hasty and
ungovernable temper by committing another
rash deed.
News is received this evening from va
kima City, W. T., that the Indian woman
who was shot few days ago by one of the
officers who arrested the Indian Tom Ne,
charged with the murder of Perkins and
wife, is likely to die The ball took effect in
the woman's right side, iuficting very dam
gerous wound. She says she did not know
the white men were officers, or she would not
have resisted them. The authorities have
sent for surgeon to attend the wounded
squaw. The Indians are very angry. and
should the woman die it is thought trouble
will ersue. No very good feeling exists be-

would require but little provocation on either
side to precipitste trouble. Tom Ne is in
Jail at Yakima, but the Indians insist on his
release.
