An 1nreniops Convict.

Lenols, N. o., March 7-"Lucky" Joe
Wilson, chief OF gang of desperadoes
who have infested this state, was caught
some time ago after many fights, and
sentenced to ten years IN the psniten-
tiary. Tuesday his counsel obtained an
appeal to the supreme court. Early
esterday morning the warden of the
jail entered Joe's cell and found him
lying on his mattress, which was covered
with blood, as was also the prisoper's 8
shirt and mouth. His eyes were vide
open and staring, his jaws fallen, and his
limbs cold. Help was summoned and
the body was carried from the cell into
an outhouse. laid out for burial and
placed in plain coffin. The mother and
sister Of Wilson stood BY the coffin and
bewailed his untimely end. At dusk in
the evening, when everyone had left the
apartment save his sister, she was horri
fed to see the corpse rise from the coffin,
put his hands ominously on his lips, and
bolt from the room. She screamed and
tainted. The ruse was not discovered
until an hour aftsrward and Lucky" Joe
succeeded in eluding all pursuit. A visit
to his cell showed how artfully the escape
had been planned. Wilson had killed q
chicken and saturated himself with the
blood. then ripping open the mattress he
had concealed tue chicken in it. He had

cell window and kept his hands and feet

The house committee on Indian af.
fairs:has reported adversely, on the re-
quest of the secretary of the interior,
for the necessary means for making the
out boundaries of Indian reservations,
where it has not already been done. and
sub dividing the arabic lands within
the same. The committee reports that
there seems to be no reason or pressing
need for making the appropriation.
They say that the true boundaries Of
very many Of the Indian reservations
have already been surveyed, and they
do not see the necessity for subdividing
the arabic lands until provision has
been made by law for allotting the
lands in severalty. It appears from .
statement made by the commissioner Of
Indian affairs, that last year 100000
was asked for and $4,000 was appro.
priated. For the present fiscal year
100000 was estimated and not dol
lar appropriated, and there has not
been an appropriation Of any conse-
quence for survey Of Indian reserva-
tions during the past ten years. The
committee do not see Why the practice
of the last ten years should be departed
from, and therefore report adversely up.
