Washington special: The house has
spent some time considering bill to
reimburse Mrs. Lousia Boldly for losses
inflicted by the Modocs in 1872. After
the appropriation was cut down from
S6,1s0 to $500, the committee of the
whole agreed to it, but 1t was not acted
upon by the house. The favorable
action on it gives promise of the pas.
sage of many of these. bills to indem.
Nifty pioneers for losses inflicted by the
nations wards, for whose acts, therefore,
it is claimed that the government is re-
sponsible. The payment of these
claims is also urged on the ground that
the losers can not sue the Indians, and
are therefore without redress unless the
government will do something. Bills
have been introduced at this session for
the payment of sixty-seven claims for
depredations by Indians, the amounts
aggregating s274,497. OF this. $l22,945 is
for depredations by the Kiowas and
Comanches in 1870 and 1872, $4,000 for
losses by the Navajos, and $4,000 for
losses by the Chiricahuas The other
depredating tribes and the amounts of
the claims are: Apaches, S20,445;
Hualapais, S19,l47; Nez Perces, S1O,324;
Modocs, S9,697; Cheyennes and Arapa.
hoes, S8.l3s; Shoshones, $4,000; Sioux
1892, S6,O24; Utes (Meeker massacre),
S4,2So: Osages. S2.72O; Mescaleros, $500;
the unnamed tribes, s6.027. One
OregoH claim is twenty-nine years old.
The Shoshone claim dates back to 1861,
the Navajos claim to 1862, and the
Usage claim to 1866. Most OF these
claims have been investigated and
favorably reported by the Indian
bureau.

Johnny Gardner Found Dead in the
River---The Inquest and Funeral.

One week ago yesterday afternoon
Johnny Gardner, the six years old son of
Jake Gardner, of Sixth street, mysterious
ly disappeared, and all search for him
proved futile. 1t was learned that he had
be en- seen playing on log raft near Wey-
erhauser 81 Denkmanns saw mill, and
then his friends felt convinced that he
had been accidentally drowned. This
morning D. Peterson and Charles Topor-
dwitz, two men employed around the mill,
discovered the body floating in the water
between the logs of the raft on which the
boy had been seen the day he
disappeared. They secured the
body and notified the coroner
Coroner Halves repaired to the scene of
the finding OF the body and impannelled
the following jury: Louis V. Eckhart
foreman; Chas E. Hodgson, r. ]. Coyne
Chris LETTER, Thos. Fuller and Thos.
Thornton. The jury listened to the testi-
mony of the two men who had found the
fioater. The remains were identified as
those of little Johnny Gardner, and the
jury returned a verdict of accidentally
drowned. The remains were badly de-
composed and Undertaken Knox thought
it was best TO bury the body at once, so
the funeral was held this afternoon.
Johnny was a bright little fellow. and
his father, who is a widower. has the
deepest sympathay of the entire commu-
nity.

PORT BYRON, Sept 25.
Thursday mornings Daily Union
claims 100 torch bearers from this place
Now the facts of the case are as follows
The Blaine and Logan clubs of this place
received fifty uniforms and torches on
Tuesday. On Wednesday morning they
almost gave up wearing them, and to
make sure, they sent representative out
to Coe, giving him the Gas customary with
the partly lucrative portion of first lieu>
tenant for his service. After hard day s
work they managed TO leave here with
fortynine men in uniform and the band .
Out of the fortynine torch bearers there
were not to exceed twenty-five residents
of Port Byron, the rest being from the
country. The captain himself only claims
fifty six men in procession. Further
more there were exactly eighty five tick
cts sold by the Rock Island agent; this
includes the band (of which eight out of
eleven are for Cleveland and Hendricks)
and the usual travel from this place. To
simmer the thing down there were about
sixtytive republicans, all told, from Port
