Tho Indian Pr,oession Interrupted Yester'
day by ~ street rrnoas-An Ola
Cbi.I Hammers n Psie Face.
Yesterday afternoon about 4 o'clock,
during tho parade Of the Warm Springs
Indians, tho latter were offended by the
whoops OF party of men standing in front
of tho American house, on Front street.
An old chief, named Tallakeno, ap.
preached the men, when fight ensued bo
tween the chief and James Sweeney. The
latter received u tremendous blow across
tho face from tho lndian's rifle, but lac
recovered from IL and knocked tho chief
down. Other Indians dragged Sweeney
away from tho fallen chief and threw him
into tho street, without attempting to in.
iuro him. Tho manager of tho troupe, Mr..
Harry Lefevre pushed Sweeney from tho
chief, when Tho former approached tho
second time, AMI supposng Sweeney inten-
jed assulting, himself grasped rilo and
prepared for defense. What nearly 70
suited in a bloody riot was quelled princ-
pally through the efforts OF Squire John
Z. Frank. Officer Wittiok took charge OF
Sweeney and the parade passed on. 1t
was stopped on Locust st. II second time
by Sweeney, who had escaped from tho
officer, but no mUrd lighting Gnsued, as
the old chief, the object of Swecnoy's
wrath, had been taken into the Franklin
house for safety.
The old chief accuses Sweeney of having
spoken insulting words IN an Indian Ian
guago, but this tho former denies. The
ohicf also nflirms that he struck no blow
uutil Sweeney made u hostile movement
toward him, but this Is also denied by the
latter.
Manager Lefevro entered suit against
Sweeney at Squire PattOn's, but with.
drew II when Officer Wittick threatened
to prosecute him for pointing u rifle at
him (Wittick), Squire Frank Witnessed
the entire fracas, and besides confirming
the Indians story, declares that Mr.. Le-
foyre did not point his rifle at Wittick.
MIR. Lefevro, Tallakcno aud American
Horse were arrested for their partici patton
in the affair later in the evening, and taken
before Squire Young. A final hearing
Will bo held there this afternoon.
