The Arizona Indian Troubles Nurder
OF White Settlers.

TUCsOy, ARIZONA, March 2s.-The In
dian situation is growing serious. Adyices
from silver City say that the party which
arrived there from san Carlos report that
the Young bucks on the San Carlos reserva-
ton were very restless last week, and there
was every evidence OF an early outbreak.
They talked OF the victory OF Big Chief in
Mexico, and said he would soon be at San
Carlos, and cotlriers have been constantly
passing between the reservation and Juh'>
band in Sonora, carrying information.
The band ralding Southeastern Arizona
has been drawing from the reservations,
and is increasing in numbers daily. As
far as heard from twenty-One people have
been murdered and buried in seven days.
Advices from Sonora place the depre-
dating band down there at not less than
$50, who are beng driven to the Arizona
border by Mexican troops. Ii the troops
pursue them across the border they will
probably be forced INTO Richmond, where
the renegades are now receiving reinforce
mcnts. Intelligence has been received that
more men were killed at Richmond, ma
king a total OF white men killed in that
vicinity during the last twenty-four hours.
Captain J. Il. Black and his company OF
Shakespeare Guards left last night for Rich
mond and Gila with about 80 men. 1t l.
reported that the Indians number about
100. Grave fears are entertained for the
safety OF the settlers in the ella Valley,
and there is possibility OF an attack being
made on the laborers on the line OF the
Clifton and Lordsburg railroad.

Making il Warm for Dukes.
He REMAINS LOCKED Up IN A HOTEL-COl
PLETELY OsTRACIZED.

PLETELY OSTRACIzED.
A Uniontown (Pa.) telegram Of Tuesday
saws: Little has been talked OF in Union
town to-day but Dukes. He has not shown
himself outside Of the hotel, but remains
in bis room behind lock and key III COM
pany with young William HELEN, one OF
those whom Dukes mentioned in bis letter to
Captain Mutt. He will not unlock the door
until he knows who knocks. He took break
fast this morning. but be did not 90 down
10 bis dinner. The charge has often been
made that Dukes is coward, and the fact
that he has remained in town for two days
without allowing himself to be seen out
side the walls Of his own room goes far to-
wards strengthening this assertion. 1t is
stated he declared he would not comply
with the orders to leave town, and yet the
wonder is why he wants TO stay here when
he Is afraid to 60 upon the streets.
The feeling OF the best people in town is
that Dukes must heed the public will as
voiced in the resolutions adopted at the in
dienation meeting. One OF these resOlu-
tons demands that he shall seek his home
elsewhere. II was agreed to without a
dissenting voice, and the feeling is that
Dukes shall not defy public sentiment,
but the fact that he can find shelter in "A
hotel is an obstacle in the way Of enforcing
the popular will in the matter.
When It was reported that Dukes would
90 TO Harrisburg the hotels Of the city took
measures 10 protect and rcSssure their
guests by promptly announcing that they
would not give him lodging or entertain'
lnent, aud In UniontOwn there is only ono
public house where Dukes can stay. lie
has remained in the Jennings House
from the first, hut how much IL
costs him 10 make up for the loss
in patronage which his presence causes
is not known. A gentleman and his wife
had engaged rooms there, but on finding
out TO-DAY that it was Dukes's expectation
90 remain in the house for awhile they
went 10 another hotel and engaged board
Ing. AZ long as Dukes remains in his
room. with HE door locked, there Is nc
way OF enforcing the demand OF the reso'
lutions thai he leave town except 10 do vio'
lence 10 Mr.. Jennings's property, and nc
one desires TO do this, as be is good
citizen.
Having allowed twenty-fours' notice tC
pass, Dukes is fully aware that ne has takeI
bis personal sicty INTO his own hands, anC
Is said 10 be armed for any emergency. i
is now definitely learned that Dukes hai
sent bis resignation 10 Harrisburg, an(
that il was written and mailed since h'
came here. That being done, it is proba
BILE he Is awaiting the cover OF night again
in order TO leave town as he came.

The Wcsturn Lunatic Asylum Poison.
Ing Cases.

WHAT A C0NvALEsCENT WHO WAS TAKEN
SICK sAYs-FURTHER TESTIMONY BEFORE
THE CoRONER's JURY-THE CASE or SARAH
MALExANDER.
Especial telegram TO the Dispatch.l
STANTON, Va, March 2S.-A Staunton
paper having published a statement made
to the editor by William Windle, a couya-
descent patient at the asylum, who was
made very sick the day before the fatal
poisoning there, in which he said,that he
believed he had been poisoned by the med
icine, the coroner's jury has taken some
more evidence bearing on that case.
DR.. ID. Il. Strain, second assistant physi-
clan, testified in substance that by DR.. r..
s. IIamilton's directions he went to see
Winde on the 23d OF February and found
him conscious, but he spoke thickly and
with some difficulty. His pulse was some
what depressed. lie had taken Il dose, adj
ministered by DR.. Butler that evening; OF
twelve drops each OF McAIunn's elixir OF
opium and turpentine, made into muci-
lagc with drachm OF gum arabic. He said
he got sick soon after leaving the Office,
and on reaching his ward rested on a bed,
but soon got up and called Fenton, his
roommate, to help him TO his room. He
(Windle) SAID the medicine had made Him
sick. Ii was given in the presence OF
DR.. Hamilton and himself Or. Strain.)
Windle said, in reply to questions, that
he had once taken three ounces Of lauda-
mum, and his life was saved by physicians.
He had frequently taken opiatcs since,
which always flew to his head. With re-
gard to turpentine, he said thirty years
ago he had taken dose, which produced
similar effects to those manifested on this
occasion. He did not know that this dose
contained turpentine until he had swat
lowed it.
DR.. Strain was well satisfied that VIM
dies sickness was owing TO an idioSyn-
cracy, and was caused by the turpentine.
He (the Doctor did not see him again until
Sunday, when he visited him with DR..
Crockett and found him sitting up in bed.
His symptoms were somewhat similar to
those OF the poisoned patients, but he did
not vomit.
Dr.. II. s. Crockett, first assistant physi-
clan. testified in substance to the same
facts as DR.. Strain with regard to Windle's
case.
DIR. Crockett was also examined with re-
gard TO Sarah McAleXander, whose case
has been before reported in the Dispatch.
He said he had not seen her Friday, the
FIRST day she was taken, but the next day
| he found her in comatose condition. He
had never prescribed for her since he had
taken charge o. the female ward last June.
| The attendants told him she had never
taken any medicine since she had
been in the asylum. She would not
take it. She remained in stupor- more
OF less profound until Monday, when she
spoke for the first time, and had gradually
improved from that time. There were
some symptoms in her case which were
present in the cases Of the poisoned pa
tients who recovered, and some were want
! ing.
Nothing Of much importance was de-
veloped on this examination. Tomorrow
the jury will examine DR.. Butler again,
DR.. William Hamilton, the druggists OF the
city, and probably some Others, and will
| likely then reach verdict.

LoNk AND bkCOMEs TIRED OF LIFE.
Philadelphia Prcss.l
Fauchanibal, the Cannibal girl, one Of
the attractions nj John O'Brien's circus lat
season, attempted to end her canaibaistlc
existence Oh Monday night by taking
hudanum. Unrequited love led her TO
the rash act. Sixteen years ago John Bat
tcrsby, who posed before the public rs a
living skeleton, and his wife Hannah,
who Is still known To the amusement
seekers rs the mammoth fat woman,
were travelling in the South. While there
they discovered little mulatto girl with
peculiar thumbs, which were longer than
her fingers and had an odd inward curve.
They obtained possession OF the child by
offering pecuniary compensation 10 the
parents, who were ignorant mulattoes,
named Junan. The obscure child, after
being properly trained, and having her
hair arranged to project toward all points
OF the compass, as a well-rcgulated circus
curiosity should, buddod forth into full
iiedgcd Cannibal girl.
The shadow and his plump partner kept
the girl with them, rs they discovered her
10 be gold-mne. Blttersby gradually in
creased In weight so much that his lower
extremities could not bear the load.
Through this he was compelled 10 retire
from the dazzling splcndor OF chair in
the side-show. The Compound partner Of
his lows continued in the business. how
ever, with the lovely Fauchanibal. While
with O'Bricn's show last season she be-
came cnamored OF John Lennon, better
known as KENNEDY jack the manipu-
lator OF prize-boXes.
Jack, however, became impressed with
the idea that Fauchanibal wanted TO make
a meal of him. He fought shy OF her fer a
long time, but she finally convinced him
that the cannibalistic tendencies credited to
her on the ilaring circus posters were q
delusion. When the show went into win
ter quarters at Frankford the Cannibal
maiden lived with her foster parents at III
east Unity street. Her lover has ASST luousiy
visited her all winter. About month ago
he made the discovery that she had negro
blood in her VEINS, and on this account re-
fused 10 marry her. Since then she has
become respondent. ON Monday night,
while talking TO Jack, she reproached him
and declared life had no more charms for
her. Putting vial, partly filed with
laudanum, to her lips. she swallowed the
draught. a doctor was hastily summoned.
and, with the aid Of stomach-pump,
saved the life OF the lovely Fauchanibal.
