TO begin the investigation this afternoon.
Conkling claims the shooting was entirely
justi6able; that the prisoner did it in defense
of his sister, and in his efforts to remove her
from vicious surroundings, and that it would
bs sustained by the moral sentiment of the
community. Council maintained that il he
had only used his fists in the assault on Conk-
| ling the weapon would not have been brought
into play. The prisoner remained in the
custody OF the police. Mrs. Uhler, the pris-
oner's sister, became 30 hysterical after the
shooting that she had to bs removed to the
hospital, where she now lies in an exhausted
condition.
GHayerstick resided in San Francisco for
several years. He lived at the Palace Hotel
and kept a money brokers' Office on Mont

The Trouble Among the Creek Indians.
WASHINGTON, March 20th.-Spscial Agent
Townsend, in a communication from the
Sac and Fox Indian Agency, dated
March 18th. writes to the Commissioner as
follows: " In coming from TuIso to this
agency (sixty miles), l found nearly every
house and settlement deserted, and that at a
season Of the year when every man should
be in his field instead of running about over
the country with Q Winchester rifle on his
shoulder. A reign Of terror prevails through
cut this part of the Creek reservation,
and appears to have stappaded almost
the entire population. It seems
TO me that measures should be adopted to
bring this war TO close. doubt if this can
be accomplished without the interpretation Of
the General Government, and if this must
come it would be a mercy to many innocent
persons involved in the trouble if done at
once, go as TO prevent further trouble and
devastation. l am aware that these troubles
test the Cresks for self-government, but other
interests are sc stake, and other tribes
may become involved, either as ene-
mics or allies. / would not en-
barrass the Creek Nation in its present
struggle for independence and existence
rather would / encourage aud support its
loyal leaders, to the end that their capacity
for self.governmsnt may be demonstrated
but if this cannot be done, and done quickly,
= L.,
Government should interfere without delay"
Agent Townsend refers to the fact that
armed men from both sides are riding hither
and thither all over the country, and from re-
liable information he believes them to be
without discipline and in demorslized con-
dition. 10 conclusion, he says: cat best it
is disastrous state of affairs, bad enough if
confined to the limits of their own reserva-
ton but when portion Of them carry their
campaign into territory not their own, 1
think it nigh time some one should interfere
and compe! them at least to limit their hostile
operations TO their own psopls. This state
of affairs affords excellent opportunity for
many despersdoes who infest the country to
commit depredations on all sides, and there
are indications that they ara not Glow to take
advantage of it and charge it all to the
Creeks"
