A CLOSE CONTEST.
Remarkable Wrestling Match
Between Two Amateurs
at Blacktau.

Special Correspondence of the MINER.
BLACK TAIL PARK, Aug. 5.
There was the hardest contested
match (catch-as-catch-can took place
at the Summit Valley lumber camp,
this afternoon, that was ever wrest-
led in this Territory. The contest
ants were A. M. Lewis, better known
as Sport, and Harmon Wilson, alias
Missouri" 1t was witnessed by
over 100 woodcutters and lumbermen
and was conceded by all to be a
grand exhibition of agility and en-
durance. The first fall ended in
favor of "Sport;;" time, 7 minutes AZ
seconds. When time was called
again ''Sport" was the favorite, but
Missouri" showed plainly that
Sport had to earn that $50. Both
men entered the ring in fair
condition, but looking far from
fresh, but both confident.
After several feints Missouri succeed
ca in catching his favorite hold, but
failed to win a fall, owing to the
rules agreed on. After ten minutes
hard struggling time was called and
both went to their corners with bel
lows to mend. By this time neither
considered it a picnic. When time
was called again Missouri seemed in
the best condition and forced the
play, but failed again to win a fall,
and again time was called, both men
being terribly exhausted and seemed
unable to continue, so much so, that
outsiders who had their money up on
both sides wished to call it a draw,
and it was so decided by mutual COZ
sent. Taken all in all it was an 'ex-
cellent display of skill and science.

Three Montana Gentlemen Seriously
Injured By O. &eed that Went Up

Injured by a Stecd that Went Up
Stairs.
Special to the Morning Journal.
BUTTE, Mont, Aug. 2.-Sheriff
John Bodley rode through the town
Yesterday on Jack" his fiery mus
tang. He had been in the saddle
long and was hungry and tired. So
was the horse. In front of Valiton's
stable tue animal behaved badly and
was only prevented from entering by
mastery horsemanship. The next
moment however, the Sheriff was
taken off his guard. Jack be-
came suddenly crazed took the
bits in his teeth and bolted for the
hallway leading to the telegraph
office in the Owsley building: Off
Ger Carleton tried to stop him, but
retreated before the mad charger.
He rushed up the long flight of stairs
closely pursued by the mustang. He
reached the landing first and dashed
into the telegraph Office, where Man
ager Cairns was busy. He notified
him of the approach of the mad
horse. Without delay both gentle
men raised the window and sprang
upon the awning, which yielded to
their weight. After dangling for
some moments from the supports,
both fell to the sidewalk ana were
badly injured. MI. Carleton escaped
with three broken ribs, but Manager
Cairns was found unconscious with
a lacerated Wen I'D on his forehead
and q broken arm.
The mad horse during the interval
was creating havoc in the upper hall.
Sheriff Bodley, who had remained in
the saddle until his head came in con-
tact with the ceiling, was found gasp
ing for breath in the hallway. His
collar bone had been broken by a
kick from the Wild steed. Finally
the wild animal was lassoed and low
cred to the street from the seconds to-
ry window. Vertinary Surgeon
Waite subsequently pronounced the
horse "hopelessly mad" and ended
Jacks existence with a musket ball.
Manager Cairns threatens to bring
suit for damages, and the :.Sherif is
looking for a horse that cannot climb
a tree. ALI the injured gentlemen
will remain in the hospital for the
next three weeks.

NEWS MAKING.
How They Dish Up Butte Items
for Metropolitan Journals.

The tendency to sensationalism in
modern Journalism and the demand
of readers for horrible detail, lead to
the exercise of considerable ingenui-
ty on the part of eastern journalists
to fill their columns with incident
and narrative possessing the requi-
site spice of horrer. Readers Of the
MINER who read the rather ludi-
crous account Of Under Sheriff Bod
ley's horse mounting the stairs of
Owsley hall, in which no person was
injured in the slightest degree, will
"gasp for breath" with brother Bod
ley when they read the following &C.
count of the affair from the New
York Morning Journal:

THE INDIAN QUESTION.
What Had Best Be Done with the Captured
Apaches.

What Had Best Be Done with the Captured
Apaches.
National Republican.
A gentleman who has been prominent in
far Western politics for many years, who was
Governor of a Western State several terms,
who was a major-general during the war,
asked Republican reporter yesterday how
Secretary Teller stood on the return of the
Apaches. recently captured by General Crook,
to the reservation.
81 don't know" said the reporter. "How
do you stand?'
II want to see them punished. The whole
question lies in a nutshell. There are a
great many Indians on the reservation who
are now peaceable, but they are not wholly
contented. They are not the barbarians the
Eastern people think they are, but they are
men of strong intellect and depraved morals
They regard the pale faces as their natural
enemies, and are only kept quiet by fear of
the government. If Loco and Mana are al
lowed to return unpunished to the reserva-
ton, as they have been once or twice before,
it will have the effect of shaking that fear
among the quiet Indians"
How is that?'
"Why, the reservation Indians will reason
among themselves. They will say we are here
on the reservation, quiet and peaceable liv-
ing On beef and bacon. We don't have gold
watches, or greenbacks or new rifles, or any
thing like Loco and Mana. They go off and
get all these things, and are not punished for
it. Let us do the same.'"
"What measures do you think should be
taken to settle the Indian question:
ut is settling itself Education of the
young Indians is having a splendid reforma-
tory effect If the question should be set
tied quickly, however, the best way, in my
opinion, TO do it would be to kill all the

DORSEY's PROGRAMME.
He Proposes to Damage the Republicans and

He Proposes to Damage the Republicans and
Turn Himself Into a Democrat.
WASHINGTON, June 23.-During the recent
star-route trials, and before, it was stated
that ex-senator Dorsey would print certain
documents and letters in his possession rela-
tive to the Garfield presidential election and
the formation of the Garfield cabinet. This
correspondence is alleged to be of sensa-
tional character. A good deal of this sensa-
tion has been heavily discounted. 1t is
known here, however, that Dorsey is now
being negotiated with by New York paper
and that all the writings relative to the cele-
brated Garheld-Conkling compact will be pro-
duced in the columns of the journal that pub
lished the Dorsey letter Dorsey has held
these papers sacred until now, when he feels
that he owes nothing to the party that has
rewarded him with disgrace. Ex-senator
Dorsey proposes, after he has damaged the
Republican party as much as possible by dis
closing some secret history to transfer him
self, troop and baggage, to the Democracy,
and help them in the next presidential cam
paign He has an idea that he will be able
to control large negro following by preach
ing to them his services in the Garfield con-
test, and he will try to show that his prose-
cution for star-route frauds was the result of
a conspiracy among the dead Presidents ene-

INDIANAPOLIS MORNING,

steady and almost universal criticism from
the press regarding the methods pursued by
Mr.. Evans have been particularly annoying
to the President, who sees that he is being
seriously compromised. A halt has again
been called, in manner that cannot be mis-
taken even by one so dull as the new Com
missioner has proved himself to be.
General Sewall, tie chief of special agents,
was the next on Mr.. Evans's list to be decap-
itated. As one of the indiscreet friends OF
the Commissioner put it to-day, "Sewall's
head was to be cut off clean down to the
shoulders" Another of the new Commits
sioner's partisans stated it more mildly. Cen
eral Sewall was to be transferred after awhile
to field where the reduction i'll his pay
would, it was thought, compel him to resign.
At any rate he was to be gotten out of his
present position, which pays S12 a day, and
a trusted friend appointed, Mr.. Evans will
not be allowed to interfere with General
Sewall. The animus of the move in that
direction is we'll understood in high quar-
ters, Mr.. Horton blames General Sewall for
his former discharge and present exp xposure.
