Daring Attempt at Highway
Robbery in This City
Last Night.
J. P. Alder Knocked Down
and his Pockets Gone
Through.
His Cries Brings Assistance and
the Garrotor is Scared
Away.

One of the boldest and most daring al
tempts al highway robbery ever perpe
trated in this city was attempted last night
about 7:30 o'clock, and that, too, within a
stones throw of the police station.
About the hour mentioned, Mr.. j. P
Alder, of the firm of Campbell
& Alder, who do business as grocers
in the building formerly occupied by the
cooperative Grocery company, nearly op,
posite the BAZoo building, had occasion to
visit the wafer closet which is in the rear
of his store under stairway. Immeoi-
ately upon his emerging from the closet,
he was struck In the back of the head by
some unknown party, with sand bag and
Knocked down. No sooner had he fallen
TO the ground than the garroter seized him
by the throat and attempted TO so through
his pockets. The cries of Mr.. Alder at
tracted the attention of Messrs. Ed. and
Will Ilgenfritz, who were in the rear end
of their store room next door, and they
went to his assistance. Their appearance
frightened the robber and he field, leaving
his victim laying on the ground.
Mr.. Alder was picked up and assisted
into the store, when he soon
recovered from the blow which had stunned
him. On examining his pants be found that
nothing had been taken. His watch, which
had been jerked out by the thief, was
dangling at the end of the chain,
Chief of Police Barnett, who was stand
ing in the door of the police station, also
heard the cries of Mr.. Alder for help, and
fastened to the spot. On his arrival, how
ever, the garroter had fed In the darkness,
and as no one had noticed the direction
taken, made good his escape.

BAD BROTHERS.
The Marshal of Warsaw
Gets into a Difficulty
with His Brother,
During which Both Open Fire
And are Dangerously
Wounded.
FULL Particulars of the Shooting
and the Causes Leading
Thereto.

Word was received In this city yester.
day morning OF a shooting scrape which
occurred in Warsaw Tuesday evening
about 8 o'clock between Marshal III. Claw
Jeans and his brother, Nathaniel. From
parties who were eye witnesses to the shoo.-
ing the BAZOO learns the following:
Ii seems that Nat Jeans, who was elect
ed constable of Warsaw township at the
late election, bee sme involved In a difficul-
~ with Mayor Potion, IF that city, regard
ing the printing OF election tickets, and
meeting that gentleman on the street,
Jeans commenced to abuse him, finally
shaping him In the face. The affair was
reported to the marshal and he resolved To
arrest his brother for disturbing the peace,
and on meeting him on the street, In front
Of the poslofice, informed him OF his in
ientiOn. Nat tod the marshal that he
would not 60 with him unless ne produced
a warrani, and while they were quarreliEg
over the matter, another brother. who is
sheriff oil the county, put in an appearance,
and attempted to settle the difficulty. This
ne finally succeeded IN doing and the
brothers parted, Clay going to his saloon,
while Nat still remained on the street.
Shortly afterwards some one informed
Clay that Nat. was looking fer him, for,
the purpose OF renewing tie difficulty. See
ing him pass the saloon, Clay put a revol.
Yer in his pocket and went out and accost-
ed him, warning him not to
come around his place. Nat became very
inceDsed at the language used by Clay and
commenced pulling out his revolver. See
ing this the marshal also drew his pistol
and before friends could interfere, both
bred. They were seized and the
shooting stopped, Nat being taken to his
reel dence and Clay into his saloon. Onex-
animation 1T Was learned that both were
badly wounded. The ball from Claws
pistol struck his brother In the left side
and ranged downward, and ii wss some
time before IT could be extracted. An ex-
animation OF Clay revealed the fact that
the ball had struck him in the Jaw and
ranged down through the back, coming
out just above the shoulder blade. Both
were In critical condition when the
BAzoos informant lett that place yesterday.
The shooting created decided sensation
in the village, and crowds &C uld be seen
standing on every corner, until late hour
in the night, excitedly discussing the sf-
fair. The brothers are both very popular,
not only among the residents of Warsaw,
but of the entire county in which they
live. Both are known, however, to be DIES.

A telegram from the scene os the shoot
was received by the BAZoo at a late hour
last night which stated that both OF the

dition bat strong hopes were entertained
Tor their recovery.

THE PIEGAN scandal.

There appcars to be no doubt that the Picgan
Indians are slowly, but surely, dying Of starva-
tion on their reservation, and although publicity
has been civen TO the fact there is no intima-
tion of a serious purpose anywhere to apply a
remedy The simple truth Is that these Indians
were placed upon Il reservation destitute OF
game. and incapable of tillagc without irlfGa-
ton. In such situation it would have puzzled
very intelligent white men to Keep from starry
ing, and the problem has proved too hard for
the Piegans. Whether the reports that they
have begun to Kill the stock of the neighboring
settlers be true or not cannot be clearly aSccr-
taincd but if they have butchercd the cattle
they are certainly entirely Justified in doing SO
under the circumstances. No man Is under amy
