Pollock and stampeded forty horses. The
Indians went to Pollock's corral and were
running out his horses. Pollock hearing
the noise jumped out Of bed and ran out IN
his night clothes. He had hand-tO- hand
tussle with an Indian. In the melee the
Indian shot him once in the shoulder anC
once in the chest and Immediately fed,
leaving his gun and butcher knife. The
mounted police, with Superintendent FL
lock in command, started for the scene
with the intention of pursuing the Indians.
There is little hope Of capturing the party,

DONE BY DYNAMITE.
Two Tremendous Explosions Wake the
Echoes In London.

London dispatch of June LIST: A
sharp report heard late last night outside
the Junior Carlton club house, in Pail Mall,
resulted from bomb thrown into the base
ment, which was shattered. FOnr female
servants at work were seriously injured.
The club house was crowped with members
at the time of the explosion. Several lights
were extinguished throughout the entire
building. The lights in the army and navy
clubs, opposite, were eXtinguished and
the windows blown in. Sixteen packets of
dynamite, with fuse attached, was found
tonight under the Nelson monument on
Trafalgar square.
Daylight showed the damage by exposure
fully equal to the worst anticipation. A
crowd of excited people are visiting the
scenes. Policemen are drawn in line across
the streets in the vicinity, to prevent ac-
cess of the multitude. Orders were given
to leave the wreckage untouched until eX-
amined by Majendie. At st. James theatre,
1000 yards distant, the explosion sounded
like two claps of thunder.
The audience was alarmed, and nearly
stampeded. Several ladies tainted, men
started to stampede, but were treasured by
shouts bidding every one sit still as no
harm was done. The second bomb on st.
James square, which exploded against the
residence of Sir Walter Mynn, produced a
huge wide fracture four feet high, and
three in breadth. The windows were
smashed and furniture damaged.

The Author OF an Atr0ciOus Murder
Executed.

Wesley johnson, "a years old, was
hanged at Napoleon, Ohio, on the goth, for
the murder, on the night of October q last,
of George III. Williams and wife, who lived
On farm seven miles north of that place.
The crime was one of the most cold bl CODED
ever known. There was no provo cation
whatever, johnson killing them by chop
ping their heads open with an axe, the OBJ
ject being to obtain money to support his
mistress. He secured $26 and a silver
watch. The murder was not discovered
for two days. johnson was arrested and
convicted on purely circumstantial evil
dence, but has since confessed. When the
death warrant was read to him he said it
was Just. He walked firmly to the scaffold.
He coolly asked the sheriff to remove his
collar and tie, and then thanked him. He
remained perfectly calm throughout, and
asked the sheriff to not keep him standing
there. When the black cap was drawn
over his head he said: ''God be mercifu2
to nv sOul.'''

A VAGABOND'S CRIME.
The City of Kearney Startled by the Deed
of q Villainous Father.

A Kearney special of the 9th says ::
Between 10 and II O'Clock last night this
city was startled and thunderstruck by
another terrible tragedy that is not fire.
quently equalled in enOrmity in criminal
annals. For some time there has been a
German family residing here named Koe-
beck. The husband was worthless Vaga-
bond, occasionally doing odd jobs around
town, but wasted the major part of his time
in idleness. He was possessed OF a most
brutal disposition, especially toward his
family, and on many occasions displayed
his brutality by beating his wife and chill
dren without any apparent cause. About
three months ago she was obliged to leave
extreme cruelty. Last night, at the
time stated above, he made his ap-
pearance at her home. Becoming
alarmed at his peculiar actions she
took one of her sons and started to
leave the house. She had walked but a
short distance when cries Of her other son
caused her to return. He was beating the
boy when she appeared. AS soon as he
saw her he drew q revolver and emptied
four chambers into her body. one ball pass
ing through her head. KOebeck then
rushed into the house and cut his own
throat, and will undoubtedly die, thereby
That the act was premeditated there is not
the slightest doubt, as he entered the
house fully prepared for the devilish deed.
LATER.-Mrs. Koebeck is lying in a crit
ical condition. The ball passed through
her head in front of the lower part of the
ear and came out on the other side. Koe-
beck's attempt at suicide will prove inef-
fectual. He partially severed the wind
pipe. He was arrested and lodged in Jail.

DESTRUCTIVE WATEERSPOUTS.
Entailing Loss of Human Life and De.
structiOn of Property.

A cloud-burst near Visilia, CAL,

children and R. Weisner, sheep herder.
The bodies of Stewart, his mother and one
child were recovered to-day. They were
frightfully mangled and their clothes torn

covery. The house was dashed to atoms.

cowboys, belonging to Colorado and Ne
braska outfits, were drowned. The flood
was caused by. a cloud-burst, which oc-
Cured in small FIathead and Cheyenne

in such force that it swept everything in its
path. Men, horses, wagons, camping out

vention, to be held June 18th, to elect dele
gates to Chicago. Returns show about
forty counties nearly unanimous for the ole
ticket.
The national greenback convention
at Indianapolis nominated Gen. Butler as,
their candidate for president. Gen. A. NJ
West, of Mississippi, was nominated by
reclamation for yice-president.
A Washington special says that Cam
eron refuses to influence the delegation to
Chicago and says he will support the nOmi-
nee of the convention to the utmost OF his
power, no matter who is nominated.
Minnesota democrats in state con-
vention on the 18th, chose delegates to the
national convention and declared in favor
of tariff for revenue only.

CAPITAL TOPICS.
THE TARIFF QUESTION

In reply to communication from
the house ways and means committee ask
ing for Secretary Folger's opinion of the
administrative portion Of Hewitt's tariff
bill, Mr.. Hewitt has received a letter from
the secretary endorsing the plan. This rem
ders 1t more than likely that such changes
in the law as are recommended in that part
will receive the sanction of the house. Rep.
resentatiye Hurd says there certainly will
be an effort made at this session to extend
TIE free list by the addition of lumber and
coal.
ACQUISITION OF CHINESE RESTRICTION.
The department of state having been
informed that the Chinese government pro-
posed to enter a silk loom in operation as an
exhibit at the New Orleans exposition, the
question arose whether the Chinese restric-
ton act did not prohibit the landing of
operatives on the ground that they were
labOrers. The question was referred to the
treasury department and Secretary FOlger
informed the secretary of state that Chinese
operatives be admitted without molestation,
with the understanding that they will not
remain In the country longer than necessary
for the display Of their exhibit.
THE DANvILLE RIOT.
The majority report of the senate
elections committee on the Danville riot de-
clared that it was premeditated and pre-
concerted for the purpose Of raising race
issue and intimidating the negroes; that
the democrats prearranged the riot and in
dorsed it after it had occurred. Mr..
Lapham, who prepared the report, intro
duced some kilograms which he claimed
sustain the conclusion that the riot was the
deliberate work Of the democratic party.
GEN. PLEAsANTON.
The house committee on military af-
fairs will report favorably the bill retiring
Gen. Pleasanton as colonel.
