THE COLORADO OUTBREAK
Origin Of the Trouble Between the
Indians md COMtDOyS

DENVER, COL, June 25.-The following par
tculars of the Indian troubles i'm the southern
part of the state have just been received: On
Saturday evening party of Indians camped
on Beaver Creek. a tributary OF the Dolores
river, sixty miles from Durango. After time
tney got into an alteration with cowboys
about some horses which the latter claimed the
TO tepee in which were four others, buck, a
Squaw, papooSe and "A boy. The cowboys fol-
lowed and opened fire on the Indians in the
tepee, killing all but the boy, who was
wounded, but got away. At ten O'Clock that
night in the MonteZuma valley, twenty miles
distant, man named Genther sat in the
mouse reading. His children were all asleep,
ana MS Vile was preparing to retire. suddenly
Ihe woman heard a noise, and. running out of
the house, discovered the building to be on fire.
Geniner then came out TO eNtinguish the
flames, and while engaged was Shot, being
Struck by seven bullets. His wife to
assist MIN and was shot in the shoulder. Be-
lore he died Genther told his wife To get the
children out of the house. which she did

Indians had departed. Hidden by the dark
ness. and carr ing her infant in her arms, and
leading another 10y the hand. her four other
children following best they could. Mrs.
Gengther wandered all night through the sage
brush, barefooted and in her night clothes.
Finally, near morning. she reached neighbor's
mouse. At Noolly's store the Indians helped
themselves to whatever they wanted and de-
parted. Mrs. Gentber at last accounts was i'm
very critical condition. The body of her hus-
band was found burned 10 a crisp.

Terribly Beaten by n Policeman.

CHICAGO, June 25.-Charges have been pre-
ferred against Policeman John o'Brien. Of tho
twenty-second street station, that without
proVocation he beat a citizen named VIM. Lar
enSon, nearly to death Sunday, and dragged
him on To the station. Barenson thinks the
reason of the clubbing was that a few minutes
before he had bailed out a prisoner arrested by
% lSrien. He says: .'O'Brien caught me and
began beating me with his club. He knocked
me down four times. The distance To the st;t-
tion is five blocks. He beat me every step Of
the way. Tie last time | was knocked down
was rendered insensible." DIR. Lackner who
attended Larenson, said last night thai Laren-
son had sustained severe internal injuries in
the region OF the kidneys, and that he feared
one rib was broken. Attempts to ind O'Brien
have been unsuccessful.

GEN. GRANT GETS ANOTHER GOOD NIGHTS
REST.
MOUNT MCGREGoR, Ny, June 25.-At 1890
O'clock last evening Dr. Shrady found General
Grant doing. The general reused up. however,
when the doctor entered and spoke 10 him
about certain matters OF diet: At Ii O'Clock
the general was sleeping. He continued to
sleep, with slight breaks, until = o'clock this
morning, when DR.. Shrady attended him. The
was relieved at ONCE by saline solution with
carboic acid, after which cocaine was applied
and the general again went to sleep. At z
oclock he was aroused. DIR. Shrady was up at
s o'clock, and as he entered the scl, room, hat
and cane in hand. the general glanced up and
asked: Are you up already for the day, doc
tor"
"Yes, and going out to enjoy the air and
scenery, was answered.
"Tm glad you are, but there are two or three
hours sleep yet this morning for me" added
the general, as he settled back in the pillows.
When the physician entered at nine O'Clock il
was believed that the patient had slept eight
hours since retiring twelve hours before.
THE WEEKLY OFFICIAL BULLETIN.
Dr. Shrady to-day teiegraphed TO the Medical
Record tor its Saturday issue, the following
official bulletin of Gen. Grants condition: The
progress of the disease from which Gen. Grant
is suffering is, barring accidental complications,
slow. Comparing the condition of the patient
with what 1t was a month ago, the changes
which have taken place can be appreciated.
Taking this period of time into consideration,
of the lower jaw on the right side, has increased
and has become harder and more deeply fixed.
1t has shown a tendency to progress in a direc-
tiOn downward and forward upon the right
side of the neck, the infltration extending into
the neighbOring glandular structures. The lam
cenating pains In those parts, although ioriu-
nately not frequent nor severe, have a sgnifi-
canoe which cannot be ignored. The liberation
on the right side of the base Of the tongue has
become deeper and more irregular, although its
superficial area has not perceptiby increased.
This Is the seat OF the pain occasionally In swai-
lowing, and when certain examinations of the
throat are made. The destructive process on
the right side of the uvula is apparently Quies-
cent, although q new portion of the margin of
the palatal curtain is showing tendency TO
break down. The voice has been reduced to a
whisper, due partly to infiammatory involve
atony of the latter. There is some impairment
OF general strength, and some loss in weight,
although the appetite is unchanged, and the
usual amount Of nourishment is taken. The
removal to Mount McGregor has so Tar proved
beneficial. 1t has enabled the patient TO re
cover lost ground, and thus, in a measure
has counterbalanced the effects Of his local
malady.

Wtfe.Murderer Carpenter Again Tries
to End His Life by Cutting His
Throat.

p NEW YORK, June 25.-Carpenter, who was
on his second trial for the murder of his wife,
by stabbing her to DEATH and which has been
in progress for the last two days in the court of
oyer and terminer. this morning cut his throat
in his cell in the Tombs. His wounds are con-
sidered serious, and the trial is postponed till
Monday next.
This is the fourth time Carpenter has at
tempted suicide. This morning, when the
deputy shd'iffs went to the tombs to take Car
penter to c't lrt the prisoner was walking in the
corridor of lIe first tier. The keepers ordered
Carpenter to his cell. He entered, and
a moment afterwards groans were heard.
The keepers rushed in and found Carpenter
on his knees, with his head on the cot, covered
with blood lie was raised and ii was found that
the man ha cut a small cash in his neck: that
he had three trifling wounds on the stomach.
and slight cut on his left wrist. None was
serious, but several were painful, and Carpen-
ter suffered much loss of blood. He was taken
to Bellevue hospital.
The prisoner, up to a couple of months ago,
had his arms manacled Ia his sides. He COM
planned that these hurt him severely, and they
were at last removed. At night. however, he
was ''muffied.' The knife with which Carpen-
ter cut himself was ordinary table
knife, rather rusty, ana had been ately sharp
ened 1t was not of the kind used in the prison,
and how the man secured ii is mystery. 1t
was found. after a search, in the soil pan i'm "A
corner of his cell. His cell had been ransacked
every day to prevent the keeping OF a weapon
by the prisoner,
