TON, IOWA.
What Professor Draper Says About
the New Comet.
Especial to the SENTINEL

from Rio says that ID. Il. Taylor, who es-
capped from the cattle mems expedition on
the night OF the 18th has just arrived. He
reports that the party had a two days run
ming fight with the Indians. J. Hall was
seriously and J.. w. Eskridge was slightly
wounded, and seven men are missing. The
party is corralled on Grand River, in
Utah, by the Indians. B. f. Mckee, Cap
tain commanding the First Brigade Of the
Second Division Of the Colorado National
Guard, with so men, left on the 22d to res
cue the party. The Durango Record has
the following: Charles A.. King has just ar
rived from the Big Bend of Dolores, and
gives the following information: He
learned from two men who came direct
from the scene of the fighting, arriving at
Big Bend on Sunday, two days after the
fight. which took place in Castle Valley,
Utah. They report that the cattle men fol-
lowed the Indians several days without
finding them. Thursday, the 18th, shortly
after breakfast, they were fired on at short
range by the Indians. The fire was imme-
diately returned and the Indians fed.
There were no killed or wounded on either
side. The whites pursued and fought
them the rest of the day. On Friday, the
18th, the fight was renewed. Dave Willis
was killed, and Jordan, Bean and Hall we're
seriously wounded. J. H. Eskridge, the
notorious desperate, was cut off from the
rest of the party and was charged on by
so indians. He laid in a clump of bushes
and picked them off with his rifle until it
got too hot, when he opened with his re-
~volvers, killing twelve Indians. When
rescued be was only wounded in the ankle,
but his clothes were riddled with bullet
holes. Tim Click and three others are
missing, supposed to nave been killed.
The Indians retreated, and the cattle men
brought the wounded to Grand Valley. 1t
is supposed that the May party, who were
cut off by the Indians, went to join the
Mccarthy party, as they have not been
heard from. There were So men in both
parties, of whom % were in the fight.
The Indian forces were estimated at be-
tween so and 60 braves. The whites lost
several horses. Ike Stockton was not
killed, as reported. The Wilson brothers
are missing, and it is feared that they have
been killed. The troops left Fort Lewis
on Tuesday, under command of Captain
Carroll, and accompanied by Gen. Hatch.
A small party of citizens left here on the
2lst, also one on the 22d, for the seat Of war.
O'DOnOvan ROssa Interviewed.
New YORK, June 24.-The Tribune has
an interview with O'Donovan Rosa. He
says: We are carrying on the movement

ICES that it is her interest to be just. You
know how I have had little faith in the
Land League movement. 1t is not now
any greater than it was; in fact it is less.
Within a week there has been a union OF
two physical foreign organizations with a
view of making the movement more
aggressive than heretofore. From this on our
operations will be more active than they
have been, and it will be seen that instead
of being inundated by British buster we
are being. encouraged to greater exertions.
Recently we have derived valu BILE assist.

Conkling Begging.
New YORK, June 25.-The Tribune says:
1t has been said by the admirers Of Conk-
ling that he is a very proud man. The
question arises whether his pride was all
sham. A gentleman does not willingly
thrust himself in where he is not wanted.
Even if he has no more thar ordinary
pride he should shrink from begging. But
four-ffths of the members Of the Legisla-
ture, and more than ~two-thirds Of his own
party, have made it plain to Conkling in
the most formal and emphatic manner for
several weeks that they do not want him
for their Senator. Still he persists in
thrusting himself upon them. He keeps
the Legislature in session for weeks at a
great cost to the people, and great loss to
the members, in order to press his impor-
tunate demand for Office, and goes up and
down begging members who are sick Of the
business to stick to him yet a little longer,
with an utter lack Of shame, which does
not indicate that he has either pride or
self-respect.
The Condition OF John g. SAKE.
NEW YoRK, June 25.-The Sun says
The poet John G.. SAKE Is a confirmed and
obstinate hypochondriac. He believes he
Is q hopeless invalid; grieves over his loss
of political power and imagines q
weakness and all sorts Of diseases that ply
sicians canno determine. He has refused
to go into company since the death Of his
daughter, Solace SAKE, on June 8, and even
refused to go to the cemetery to bury her.
He is no more the gay, witty and charm
ing conversationalist, and cannot be pre-
vailed on to take advice and prescriptions.
His mind is apparently clouded by his
grief.
A ColOred Man Hung.
MEMPHIS, June 25.-Wyatt Holmes (col-
ored), for the murder Of R. Scott (colored) 4,
was hanged at Holly Springs, Miss, yes
terday, before a crowd of 5000 colored
people, who were greatly excited. Holmes
made a stirring confession, urging his
auditory to meet him at the roll call in
Heaven. They began incoherently shout
ing, "bress de Lord" "amen," have
mercy" etc. His neck was broken by the
drop.
Professor Draper's Opinion or the
Comet.
New YoRK, June 25.-A Times reporter
interviewed Professor Draper, who says
the comet is entirely distinct from that
discovered at Buenos Ayres. The value Of
this comet lies in the fact that 1t can be
photographed, and is capable OF spectrum
analysis. Not the faintest danger is to be
apprehended from its proximity.
