she was struggling to free herself she dis
covered that tie Iufiian was in his bare feet,
Then she sprang upward and with all heI
force brought the sharp heels of her shoes
down upon his toes He howled with rage
and pain and threatened to take her life In
the darkness she could not make out the
Negroes features but he pressed his face close
against her, and his heavy whiskers swept her
cheeks. In an instant she wound her fingers
into the whiskers, and his howls grew louder
and louder. The dyke roadway is narrow,
being barely dozen feet in width. In an
unguarded moment the negro neared the
brink. As he did so the brave girl sum

plunged over the edge and into the water
The negro fell beneath her, and, as the water
was deep, he gave up his fight and struggled
to free himself from the girls clutch and to
save himself from drowning. She pulled out
a big bunch of bristfy hair from his cheek
and let him go. She elambered up the bank
and ran fieetly home. Her father, William

Tenth ward, organized a search party and
went out with lanterns to hunt for the girls

Washington: Lieutenant Davis, of the Third
cavalry, after an examination of the Indians
recently surrendered at San Carlos reports
that the Chiricahhas surrendered belonged TO
Loco's family, and number two bows, eighteen
women and children. Sixty days ago the
Mexican troops surprised the hostileS in the
Southern Sierra MadreS This party of
Indians was cut off from the main body
and three days after the fight started for the
reservation. One party went back to bring
in Loco, but Loco was too Old to travel, and
told them to come without him All the In
dams were together when surprised by
Mexican troops. Charley McComas was
with them, and well treated. He was kept
TO aid them in case of surrender
The Indians knew nothing of Gen. Crook
when they left, but knew the country was
full of troops, and, if attacked, they will fight
until whipped, and then scatter through the
Sierra Madres Most of them will attempt to
work back to the reservation. +eome expect
no mercy, and will keep up the fight and re-
main in the mountains as long as possible
They have no other place TO go. The noun

part of the Sierra Madres Don't know their
exact number of fighting men, but it is be
tween 100 and $50. There are more than 500
women and children. The number of men
includes boys large enough to bear arms.
The Indians think q sneral Crook will have
trouble to find the hostiles The latter will

DES MONIES, June 7.-At the afternoon ses-
son of the Democratic state convention yes
terday, Congressman Pussy, of Council Bluffs
was made permanent chairman. After his
acknowledgment in rousing speech, the
Hon. J Sterling Morton was introduced and
spoke briefly on the tariff question. He de-
ciared that the government has no right to
tax any one but for the purpose of paying the
expenses of the government and to promote
the general welfare of the citizens. All other
taxes, being unjust, ought to be abolished.
This is good doctrine, and if good for one
state and country it must be for another. He
then called attention to the cry for incidental
