left last night for Poundmaker's reserve.
returned this afternoon, and announced
that he had disappeared. They brought
with them two ponies which they found
on the trail. Scouts went up be-
tween the two rivers and
camped during. last night in the
woods at Thunder Child reserve. In the
forenoon they approached the edge of
the late battlefield at Cut Knife hills
and surveyed the scene of the bloody
fight. The Indian camp had disap-
peared and no Indians were visible. All
that remained of the camp where
Poundmaker and his band were con-
gregated were the usual piles of
rubbish to be found around
camping grounds of an Indian tribe.
The surrounding country south of the
river, including Cut Knife Hill, was on
fire. Only conjecture as to the present
whereabouts of Chief Poundmaker can
be offered. There is no knowledge of
his movements. Scouts express the
belief that he has retreated into the
woody Businesses and ravines at

PHILADELPHIA, May BAT the in
quest on the body OF Lottie Cook Onofri,
to-day, revolving story of her cruel
death was told under oath. Her step
father, an italian named c. Achille
Onofri, who is accused of killing her,
was present as prisoner, and seemed
to be overwhelmed by the predicament
in which his brutal nature has brought
him. Abundant testimony was
adduced to prove all that has
already been said of the horrible
story. The body of the child. who was
only years old, was covered with cuts
and bruises. The coroner's physician
testified that her veins were almost
empty, and that the child had literally
been starved and beaten to death. On
Monday it was shown that 0nofri
logged little Lottie all day, using
thick rope, heavy strap and a shovel
handle, the latter being broken on her
head or her body Her stepfather also
tied her., hand and foot, and COM
PEELED her to kneel down for
hours. At night, she crawled upstairs
to bed, and because she moaned and
complained of her back, OnOfri beat
her again with the shovel. 1t was
shown that after lying quite while,
the dying child again began to moan,
when her stepfather, in great rage,
fell on her, smothered her head
under a pillow and sat upon
it. When released, the young
victim, as her little sister, Mable, stated,
lay very quiet. Onofri then struck her
twice IN the face with his fist, and al
though she did not stir, struck her
again with the shovel, and then becom-
ing alarmed at the increasing pallor on
her little face, the step-father sent for a
doctor. When the physician arrived
the child was in Onofri's arms dead.
The case was continued, in order that
the testimony of the other children
may be taken. la -asatn
