ON THE



tain Apaches in Arizona.
GLOBE, A. T., March 24.-Iti is reported and
believed here that 800 White Mountain
Apaches are absent from San Carlos reserya-
ton on the warpath. 1t is thought that the
depredations reported have been perpetrated
by detachments from the main body. One
body of thirty Apaches, all thoroughly
armed and carrying a pack train heavily
loaded, crossed the Southern Pacific railroad,
between Wilcox Station and Dragon Pass,
moving rapidly southwark. Four men ar
rived in Wilcox early this morning, and re-
ported that they had discovered the dead
bodies of two white men, who had evidently
been killed by Indians. They were found
four miles from the point Of the mountain
toward Wilcox. Moccasin tracks were
found all around them, and their cloth
ing had been stripped off, The unfortunate
men are supposed to be two that
left Wilcox yesterday. A man was killed by
San Carlos Apaches last night at Total
Wreck mine, seven miles from Pantona, on
the Southern Pacific railroad, making ten
killed altogether, SO far as reported.
Reconsideration is received here that
-four more men were killed by the Indians at
Total Wreck. The names Of those killed at
Hauchuca are; VIM. Murray, Gid Owens,
Joseph Wolfork and a man named Arm
strong. One indian of the attacking party
was killed and recognized as a San Carlos In
dian. He was formerly a scout. The Tucson

Additional Killings.

TOMBSTONE, A. T., March 24.-Henry Full
Ter, a resident of this place, came from San
Pedro to-day and states that two Mexicans ar
rived there yesterday, who state that they
found a dismantled buggy in the road and
two dead bodies. From the description there
is no doubt that they are those of S. E,
James, of Contention mine, and G. NJ. Thorn
dyke, son of Captain Thorndyke, who had
such a narrow escape on Tuesday morning.
News reached here this Afternoon of the kill
ing of a brother of H. c.. Dibble, agent for
Hagin g. Teirs, in Winchester district, this
county. 1t is reported Lincoln Nash has
been killed at Antelope springs, fourteen
miles from town, by Indians. The people
are greatly excited, as there are evidently a
dozen formidable bands at present raiding
through the country. From the direction
they are taking it is thought they are from
San Carlos agency.

THE deeply bitter personal feeling that has
developed out of the Gougar-Maudler trial is
to be regretted upon every consideration.
There are ordinations and recriminations,
charges and countercharges criticism and
denunciation without stint. This bitterness
is a sufficient evidence that beneath the
charge upon which the case is based there
are other feelings and causes operating. We
have attempted to confine our reports to the
actual proceedings in open court, with such
comment as might be proper to give the pub
lie a fair idea of the facts printed; but on
Saturday having printed what Mrs. Gou-
gar said in her paper, we are compelled to
reprint what is published in reply. 1t will
readily be seen that the length to which this
may go no one can f%ortell; but enough has
been given from both sides to prove that the
whole matter has drifted into a malignant
personal fight, in which the public can have
no further interest than in what may be pub
licly and properly, matters of record. As our
correspondent intimates, the state of feeling
is such that any sort OF excess would not be
improbable.

THE AcoUITTAL OF DUKES.
The Method Said to Have Been Devised to
Thwart Justice in a Notorious Case.

Thwart Justice in a Notorious Case.
Uniontown Special to Philadelphia Press.
A startling substantiation of the charge
that the acquittal of Dukes was due to a
prearranged plan on the part of certain of
his political friends was brought to light to-
day. To the honor of the counsel for the
defendant be it said that they had no know
edge whatever of the means taken to give
their client an opportunity to escape the
hangman's moose. 1t was noticeable on the
day of the trial that there were a number of
men in Town from distant townships. While
it may seem plausible to offer the theory
that the case would naturally attract atten-
ton because of the prominence of the princi-
pal actors in the tragedy, yet that men in
Uniontown when the jury was drawn who
actually did not know whether Dukes was to
be tried on that particular day or a dozen
months hence. Among a score
or more from Bullskin, German,
and Nicholson townships were Henry
and Robert Breakiron, distant relatives of
that wretchedly ignorant juror who has con-
tessed to having agreed with his fellows be-
cause they told him it was their duty. These
men did not attend the trial attracted by
curiosity. They were present in answer to a
request made by one of Dukes's closest polit-
ical allies. They arrived early in the morn
ing, and walked out the road leading to
Hopewood, when, it is alleged, they met the
man who sent for them, and arrangements
were entered into by which the Breakirons
would be summoned as jurors in case the
panel was exhausted. Money was not men
toned, but there was a tacit understanding
that the would-be jurors would not be asked
to do the favor without liberal enumeration
They readily consented to the arrangement,
and were in the courthouse as talesmen
when the jury was drawn This fact has
come to the ears of some of the murd cred
mans friends, and a rigid investigation is to
be made of this most outrageous attempt to
cheat the law. In all probability, light will
be now thrown on the movements of certain
other political friends of Dukes, who came
to Uniontown by request for the same pur-
pose, and the well-laid scheme to thwart JUS
tice may be exposed in its entirety.

A Death-Bed Wedding.

James Lichtman, one of the victims of
yesterdays explosion at Packers colliery,
fulfilled his promise of marriage with Mrs.
Lizzie Fulch, of Girardyille, which was ar
ranged to take place at o'clock last night.
Everything was in readiness, and notwith-
standing young Lichtman's terrible injuries,
the ceremony was reformed. The event was
solemn in the extreme. The greatest sorrow
is manifested Tor the grief-stricken family

summer of that year. Owing to the illness of
his wife he was obliged to return
home before the Intellectual deliberations of
that body were concluded. On the %reorgani-
cation of the cabinet by President Arthur he
was made Postmaster-general which position
he held up to the day of his death. His SER
vices, in all the various positions occupied by
him, were of a character that gained the
confidence and esteem not only of his con-
stituents but also of those in authority above
him. His work in the Senate during the
memorable years 1S61-5 won for him two
reflections, which of itself is sufficient testl-
mony of his worth as a public man. In
politics he was an uncompromising Republi-
can, radical to the utmost, and was one of
the most ardent supporters of General Grant
for the Chicago nomination in 1880.

WASHINGTON, March 24-The following
telegram was received at the Indian Office
this afternoon:
SAN CARLOS, A. T., March %.
Price, Commissioner of Indian Affairs, Washington:
Indians reported at Winchester, twelve
miles from Wilcox, on the Southern Pacific
railroad, fighting the whites to-day; supposed
to be ofJuh's band, from Old Mexico, coming
this way, about 100 miles distant. Indians
here are perfectly quiet; shall take necessary
steps to protect the agency, but believe Gen.
Crook will take care of the hostiles before
they get here. WILCOX, Agent.

railway company, to put on conductors
would increase expenses 1925 a day, and this
would have to be met by a decrease in the
facilities for travel. This is a most remark
able proposition. 1t amounts to a state
ment.that to make up an increase in ex-
penses the company must diminish the re-
ceipts, for it does not take long for any one
to see that if the number of cars on a given
line is reduced one-half, or the time of run
interval, there will be a loss of patronage and
a diminishing of revenues. This is one of
the answers that don't answer.

Dukes Will Die in Fayette.


Yesterday evening q gentleman whose
name must be withheld, visited Dukes at his
home in German township, having been
called by other matters to that n%elghbor-
hood. He and Dukes had been boys together,
and had gone to the same school and been
for the years since their boyhood warm
friends. He therefore called to see him and
Dukes told his plans and purposes for the
future. He said in the first place
that he intended to remain in
Fayette county and remarked:
my whole life is blasted. 1 can expect
nothing now but shame, and if so, why not
remain in Fayette county? 1t is as good a
place to die as any other. AS to going to
Harrisburg. l never thought of such a
thing"
As to his future employment ne did not
say, but remarked that he would visit Union
town in a few days in order to transact some
business which he had there. He further
said that he considered the verdict a just one
according to the evidence, but said that If he
had been on trial for being a - fool he
would have been undoubtedly convicted. In
this latter opinion the public undoubtedly
agree with him.

The response of the street-railway COM
pany to the questions propounded by the
judiciary and railway committees of the
Council is, to say the least, decidedly equiv
ocal and unsatisfactory. The affirmative re-
spouse to certain questions is a confession
of the violation of charter provisions, but
the company, in other answers, asserts with
great vehemence its contract. Now, the
important thing-the thing in which the
people are interested-is the breaking up of
the alleged monopoly, indianapolis is too
big a city, and its future is too promising, to
nave its street-railway facilities and conve-
niences in the hands of any one company, no
matter how good or bad it may be.
The laws of business and of ommon sense
demand competition. That is what the peo-
pie ask. Competition, unde absolute
and proper safeguards and restrictions,
will work better and wiser reforms than
anything else. Give the right to another
company to come here, with its money and
its labor and its conveniences, compel it to
begin work within a specified time and have
a certain number of miles in operation by a
liked date, and exact u bond that it will
neither sell nor lease to nor consolidate with
the old company. This is the plain business
thing for the Council to do, and this is what
the people want. Thu streets are theirs; the
city is theirs; they pay the taxes. The MEM
bers of the Council are simply their trustees.

Mr.. Howe was born at Livermore, Me-,
Feb. "a, 1916, and after receiving an
academic education studied law and was adj
mitted to the bar. He was a member of the
Legislature of the State of Maine in 1915, in
the latter part of which year he removed to
Wisconsin, where he was elected Judge of
the Circuit and Supreme Court. He was
elected to the United States Senate, as a
Union Republican, to succeed Charles
Durkee, and took his seat in 1861; he was re-
elected to the Senate in 1867 and in 1873.
During these eighteen years he held i'm
portant committee positions, and was one OF
the most prominent members of the body.
His term of Office expired on March 3, 1879.
The famous triangular contest, in which the
the election of his successor was involved,
and in which Judge Howe, E. Keys and
Matt Carpenter were participants, a contest
which finally ended in the election of Mr..
Carpenter, will be recalled. Judge Howe
then retired TO Green Bay, where he had
made his home since his removal to this
State. He was not permitted, however, to
remain long in retirement, and was rendered
by President Garfield an appointment as a
member of the board of commissioner sent
by the United States to represent this gov
eminent in the international monetary on
gress at Paris, his associates being ex-senator
Thurman, of Ohio, and William NJ. Evarts,
of New York. He remained abroad about
six months, and soon after his return began
to be prominently mentioned as q possible
member of President Arthur's cabinet. In
1881 he was rendered the Postmaster-general-
ship, which he accepted, and TO the duties of
which he has since devoted his attention.
He strongly favored the reduction of postage
made by the last Congress, and has been
largely instrumental in securing improved
mail facilities throughout the country.

carson Appeal

A few weeks ago Colonel Ingersoll,
hearing that DIR. Cowan, a Confederate
surgeon, claimed that Bob Ingsrsoll
owed him 500, sent him check for
5000, being original aud interest. This
reminds us that Colonel Ingersoll owes
us small account. Some years ago we
secured permission TO take Colonel ln-
gersoll and his family down one Of the
bonanza mines. A few days afterwards
Colonel Fair net the writer and remark
ed that taking those d celebrities
down his mines was getting played out. "
He said that it had nteriered with the
hoisting operations and that the output
that day was 200 carloads short and the
ore was valued at $50 carload. He
seemed to think that somebody owed
him $1,000 OF course if we have to set
tie with the Nevada Senator we will not
insist on the Illinois Colonel paying,
but it might be well for him to send
$4,000 check, for every time we see Fair
we expect him to walk up and dun us
for the money. To have it all ready in
our pocket would be quite surprise to
him and we would like to be so situated.
