THE STATE PEN1rENTIARY


LeavenwOrth Times: From the month
ly report of Warden Hopkins tor April
we CLEAN the following: The amount Of
earnings from sales of coal was So,
05S 80; for convict labor, etc, $4,776.24
making a total of cash earnings for the
month of 1884 "a. The expenditures
for all purposes were $6,09l.3S, leaving
the net earnings over and above eX
pensss, $1,74316, (Which will be turned
into the state treasury
This exhibit is very gratifying, as il
shows that the prison earned over al
expenses $l,74S.17; and it deserves es
pecial mention, as this and last month
were the first where the prison has paiG
its way and turned over a surplus to tn,
state. This certainly proves that tn,
coal mine is no longer an experiment
We predict that during the coming ifs
cal year the prison earnings will pay al
its expenses, and we hope the next leg
islature will make no attempt to crippl,
il, in any manner, especially the indus
tries now carried on there.

CHICAGO, Ill, May A Rawlins,
Wyoming, special says that it is stated
that the Shoshoncs and Bannock Indi.
ans at Wind River agency, 100 miles
north of there, broke out upon the de-
parture of the two companies of the
Third cavalry from Washable, which is
the agency post, and only a few men
were left to garrison the post, while the
two companies are sent to fight the
Apaches. There are about 1000 Indi.
ans on this reservation. All are splendid
fighters, and were excellent scouts IN
der General Crook in his campaign
of 1S76-77 against the Sioux and Chey
ennes. There are several theories of the
cause of their outbreak. One is thai
the killing of Ute Jack incensed them
Army officers, however, believe they
were ready to fight, and took advantage
of the absence of the troops to take this
war path and leave the reservation. Ne
confirmation or contradiction of the re
port is obtained yet, but the best in
formed are uneasy and apprehend tn
report is true.
