KILLED HIS MOTHER.
THE INDIAN WAR.
SERIOUS OUTBREAKS.

p CHICAGO May "A Rawlins, Wyoming,
special says: 1t is stated that the Shos-
homes and Bannock Indians, at Wind river
agency, 12o miles north of here, broke out
upon the departure of the two companies
of Third Cavalry. from Fort Washakie,
which is the agency post. Only few
men were left to garrison the post, while
the two companies were sent to fight the
Apaches There are about 1900 Indians
in this reservation. ALI are splendid fight
ers, and were excellent scouts under Gen.
Crook, in his campaign of 1911, against
the Sioux and Cheyennes. There are sew
eral theories of the cause of their outbreak.
One is that the killing of Ute Jack incens-
ed them The army officers, however, be-
lieve that they were ready to fight, and
simply took advantage of the absence Of
troops to take the war path aud leave the
reservation No confirmation or contra
diction of the repart has yet been obtain
ed, but the best informed are uneasy and
apprehend that the report is true.
THE OFFICIAL NEWS.
CHICAGO, May 4.-Gen. Sheridan has
no official information regarding the out
break reported TO have occurred at Wind
River agency among the Bannocks and
>hoshones He has, however, official dis
patches from Col Forsyth, dated April
80, confirming the news that thirteen Indi-
ans were killed at Hors eshoe canon fight
on the Goth. and seven killed by Capt.
Tupper on the 2sth of April, also Col.
Gavin with a column of Mexican troops,
on the 29th attacked the Indians Forsyth
was pursuing killed seventy eight and
took thirty three prisoners. Forsyth says
lie returns at once to Separ, sending three
companies of Sixth cavalry, under Capt.
Tupper, via Gaylordsville, that the Indian
band have been almost annihilated.
NOT CREDITED.
OMAHA, May The rumor of the out
break of Bannocks and Sheshones is dis
credited at army headquarters here. Nc
official information has been received
while if the report was true it would have
been sent from Fort Wasseakie unless the
wires were cut, besides this, army officers
believe that Chief Washakie, of Shoshones
is friendly to whites and has his tribe in
check.

Senator Hatch, of Missouri, spoke on
tariff opposing protective features and de-
clared hostality to the duty on salt. Mr.
Morrison, of Illinois, of the Committee on
Ways and Means. opposed The bill because
he believed it would support in the general
principles the existence of the tariff pro

could compete with the world. Manufae-
turers would be benefited by the cheaper

pay more duty on imported goods than

was dragged a distance of fifty feet and
was frightfully m angled, having been

over it. No blame is attached to the
engineer as he did not see the man in
time to prevent the accident.

A Shower of Stones in Indiana.

From the Indianapolis Sentinel
The storm at Bedford, Ind, on the
night of the 9th was a strange one.
The strangest thing that took place
was at the farm of Abraham Smith,
who lives four miles south of town,
where a real, genuine shower Of stones
fell, mixed with VIII at seems to be plas.
tering. The stones are of various sizes
some really as large as mans fist,
while otheIs are quite small. The
most of them are white flint, a stone
that is not found in this part of Indi-
ana. Many of Mr.. Smiths windows
were broken and several shingles
knocked off his roof. In the itnmedi.
ate vicinity Of the house m3re than a
barrel of these stones can be gathered.
A great many persons have visited the
Smith farm to satisfy themselves in
regard to the matter.

OUR TOFN.
Let Us Hare a Fountain.

To the MINING JOURNAL:
The writer has just noticed in let
ter from Hagerstown to the Baltimore
Sun that ground was bl oxen in the
public square nj that place for the
erection Of fountain, the gift of Mrs
E. M. Mealey, one of Hagerstown's
generous-hearted female citizens"
Would not a public fountain be OF
great use and an ornament to our
town if situated somewhere about the
centre 1t has no stream and but
few visible springs near it to slack the
thirst of man or beast, whilst our
mountain sides fcga;sh an inexhausti-
BILE supply Of the purest water and
which, through a public fountain
could be brought close to the lips Of
all. And have we no generous-hearted
resident who cares as much for our PEG
pie and town and himself? Not often
such an opportunity offers the rich to
bestow go lasting benefit upon the
community in which they live, and at
the same time erect as enduring a
monument in commemoration of their
own generosity. Is there not one to
avail himself of it we will not say
herself. If not, then our town su-
thorities should make an appropria-
ton for the purpose and have it erect
ed ere tho summer passes. If not
they, then our Order of Good Temp
lars should take it in hand as meas
ure in the interest of scbriety and
temperance.
With this uaeful and beautiful iea-
turo added to The already many priv
ate Communications of the town, and
which are being multiplied in an in
creased ratio yearly, there should go
another, and that is the planting OF
shaGe trees on either side Of the walk
and road, leading from the depot to
Main street. If the steepness of the
climb cannot be abated it may be or
namented and some compensation had
at least from The grateful shades Of
outrageous maple and ash, and thus
TOO might the gateway to our town be
made to indicate to the pssserby,
something of the refinement Of taste
and domestic comfort that have their
abode amongst us. CIVIs.
