his dwelling. All the hay on the Logan
bottoms, which had been cut for cattle. in
Guiding the cedar ranch farm containing
5000 acres, has been destroyed. There are
many large herds of cattle in that region,
and as the hay has been destroyed, the loss
will be very severe on stock men.

Reports are coming in from various parts
of Arizona Territory, that the old pioneers
of that territory, tempted by the reward OF
$3.50 for Indian scalps, made by several
counties in Arizona, have started out on q
hunt fer red skins, with the view of obtain
ing their scalps. They think this is the
most practicable method yet suggested for
forever ending the Apache Indian war. The

pays for the whisky and tobacco used in
camp. It is believed that several New
Mexican cities and counties will adopt this
plan of discriminating the savages. The
fight at Gallarp's ranch yesterday has thor
oughly aroused Western Mexico. Addi-
tiona troops are now being held in readi-
Tess at Ell Paso. The Indians are roaming
about in small bands; and this enables
them to commit crime and escape or hide
easier than when they rove all together
Some killing is looked for.
Further developments appear in the
shortage at the postof6ce In Revena, Pa.
The victims are all foreigners employed for
the most part in the car shops of the Penn
sylvania railroad. The favorite game Post
master Wells worked on this class of peo-
pie was to take the cash for money orders
and give registered letter receipts. There
are about 1000 mechanics employed here,
the most of whom are young men, who
send money to their parents monthly.
Nearly all of them have suffered. When
the defalcations are fully exposed they will
reach over 5000. The affair has aroused
the indignation of everybody, and the
prompt. removal of Wells is demanded. In
is examining the books, and
the depar tment at Washington has the
matter under advisement.
A recent dispatch from Chattanooga,
Tenn, says: There is intense excitement at
Dalton, Georgia, over q visit paid that
place by q band of Ku Klux last week.
There was fifty men, all we'll disguised,
who entered the city shortly after mid
night. They visited house of i'll fame
owned by Mrs. Jane Kidd, and the woman
and six Of her boarders were dragged from
their beds, and each one was given fifty
laahes. Some of the women are in crit
cal condition and may die. The band that
went to the house of Tom Carver, . noted
thief, and beat him to death, after tortur.
ing him for half hour. Ano.her negro,
named Armstad, was 30 terribly beaten
that he will die. The band then notified
several persons to leave the place at once
or they would be killed. No clue can be

took in all the disreputable houses, regard
less of the color of the occupants. They
went to the mayors Office and left q list of
those under mob surveillance. The whole
affair was an effort to rid Dalton of the bad
characters that infest the town.
Some weeks ago Clarence Clark, formerly
q wealthy druggist of Williamsport, Pa,
committed suicide, and short time after
his wife took opium and died. Mrs. Clark
was member Of one of the most respecta-
