Nevada Threatened
EUREKA, New, April 1S-Advices
from Phoebe says Bullionville was
lately IN state of great terror. Last |
week Indians from all sections gath |
cred IN that vicinity to avenge the |
murder of one of their tribe who was
riddled with bullets by some white
men at a horse-race. The Indians |
were all fixed up for war and were
we'll armed, many of them having
WInchesters. The chief investigated |
the killing and evidently found that |
he deserved his fate, as hostilities
were not opened. The eastern and /
southern portions of Nevada swarm |
with class of harmless looking In |
dians, but if they should suddenly
break out they could inf1ict fearful
damage. Unless these Indians are
gathered and kept on reservation,
there is likely to be serious trouble
in the near future.

.uuuiR Bishop.
FORT W1KNE, Ind :, April 10
Father Patrick Frawley, Catholic
priest of this diocese, tonight
brought suit in the Supreme Court
against Bishop Dwenger, of this
city, for $4,000 alleged 10 be due
him from the regular fund set aside
by the church for the support of !
aged and infrm picsts. Father
Frawley is incapacitated from per-
forming priestly duties by.reason of
the loss of his left arm. which was
crushed while he was acting as rail-
road brakeman during his suspen
sion several years ago, which the |
Bishop alleges was for bad habits
and drinking. The loss of his arm
is sufficient according to the rules
of the church, to relieve him from
pastoral duties, but he has asked to |
be appointed as assistant teacher, so |
that he could gain livelihood, but
this he alleges the Bishop would not
do on account of the malice he bears
him. The case will attract some at
tent'on from its novelty. The Bishop
Will sail for Rome on the 28th of
this month.
