tree some distance away and in the
direction of the camp. The Indians
divided their attention between Rich
and the dead man. Rich made a gal
lant fight, rising up and firing his re-
volver and then dropping down to
avoid the shower of arrows and bull
lets that rained around him. His
bravery temporary cheched his cow
ardly assallants, but they were grad
ually closing in on him and his scalp
would have been lifted in few more
seconds, but the close proximity of
Capt. Collar and his company made
them suddenly skip for the hill. Rich
was not wounded, although two ar
rows were sticking in his boot heels.
He was as white as a sheet and al
most speechless, and seemed not to
know his comrades; but he soon came
to himself, and the way he cursed
them flying Indians was perfectly
awful. The dead soldier had fallen
some distance from where Rich had
fought his battle for dear life. and
several Indians golloped to where he
lay to scalp him, but they counted
without their host, for the soldier
who had taken refuge behind tree
though some distance away, was arm
ed with repeating rife, and divided
his fayors about equally between the
sealping party and the dusky warri-
ors who were trying to kill his COM
rade, Rich, and he saved his dead
comrades scalp. Several dead Indi-
an ponies marked the scene of the
miniature battle, but it is not known
that any Indians were killed.

The Peoples money-Are We To
Have "a Court House HingT

There is nothing of a partizan char
aetei in the HERALp's offer to print
the County Delinquent Tax List for
$3.50. This journal has repeatedly
printed this list in the past and the
work was done to the satisfaction OF
every one. County Tax Collector
Hammond did not give this journal
last year chance to put in bud.
The Republican Express was sighted
in the same fashion and the taxpayer
was "cinched. Originally last year
bids were advertised for for printing
the delinquent list-a practice which
had been uniform in the past. This
list had always been excepted from
the advertising which went as mat
ter of course to the journal which had
made the lowest bid for doing the
county work. Mr.. Hammond, ON the
pretense OF great haste, rushed his
copy over to the Times office, and that
journal received $l666.33 for doing
advertising which the HERALD would
have done equally well for $3.50. In
other words, this official, who ought
to have had the interests of
the taxpayers at heart, deiib-
erately gave the large sum OF
sI316.33 to the journal which enjoyed
his personal favor There can be no
pretense but that both the HERALD
and Express would have done this
advertising equally as well as the
Times. There can be no pretense OF
haste There is plenty OF time and
to spare. The HERALD offers to print
the county delinquent liat for $3.50.
1t will be rs large, ii not larger, than
the list OF last year. We are anxious
to see il Mr., Hammond will dare TO
make ducks and brakes OF the peoples
money to pay his political debts,
The taxpayers are anxious to know
il Republican Court-House Ring
has sprung into full vig1r already.
The Republican EreRing Express OF
Yesterday contained the following
lust comments on the matter:
The HERALD offers to print the de-
linauent tax list of the county for the
present year for $3.50. Mr.. Hammond,
the Tax Collector, cannot probably
do better than to close Il bargain with
MIR. Lynch at once to do the work at
that figure, The Times Mirror Com
pany last year received Sl666,53 for
publishing the tax list, which was not
then so long rs it will be this season.
Probably that company would not
care to take it at $3.50. which is really
but nominal consideration for the
service. However, the offer is I'M
doubtedly made in good faith, and,
as the county will save not less than
thousand and probably fifteen hun
dred dollars by the operation, NJ.
Hammond will hardly feel that his
duty to the taxpayers will permit him
TO decline it, unless the Times people
come down TO the same or less
figure. In that event, the Express
would like to come in. We nave
some chromos laying back, which we
might squander on this occasion.

THE INDIAN QUESTION.
Il Seems That the Cowboys are
in Had OdOr.

New YORK, December 30.--The Tri-
6une says that Congressman Laird's bill
to raise regiment OF frontiersman es'
pecially to putan end 10 the Apache out
RACES will DO popular even outside OF
New Mexico and Arizona. The regular
troops have made gallant pursuit, but
IL has proved inc liectual, although pre-
sumably all the soldiers that can be
spared for the purpose have been placed
at Crooks disposal. Why not, ther,
fore, let the frontiersmen have a chance
to punish the Apache murdelers, under
proper conditions--sa under Crook =
command. They would enter the cant
paign with an ardor that would make it
particularly lively for the Indians.
The Heraids Washington special
says: AT the War Department it is said
that General Crook will soon have fully
one.sixth of the entire army under hi
command He will have between 1000
and 5000 cavalry and infantry subject to
his orders, all on account of the murder.
GUS Apaches on the war path.
"D0 you fear any attack ON the San
Carlos reservation ?" was asked of an
army officer OF high position in the De-
partment.
mo fear is entertained as to that.
Some reckless cowboys would undoubt-

Indians at San Carlos. Then dozens, as
defiant and as reckless as the Apaches
now ON the war path, would infest the
frontier settlements, burning the houses

DAY DISPATCHES.

SEATTLE, W. 7. December 30.-A
horrible story was put in circulation
here yesterday. 1t was to this effect;
An Italian boatman left Victoria one
day last summer with seven Cinnamon
for the American side of the Straits OF
Fuca. When almost across he saw the
United States cutter Oliver Nolcott COM
ing towards him with the evident inten-
ton of:examining his craft. lie became
alarmed aud to avoid the penalty at
taching to the otfense of smuggling Chi
nese into the United States he resolved
to make way with the evidences of his
guilt. lie called the Cinnamon out OF
the cabin one by one, and as they came
up struck them ON the head with a club
and pitched them overheard. In this
way he got rid OF the whole number,
aud when boarded from the cutter no
evidence OF a eliminating nature was
found. An investigation will he made
with the view To ascertainlng the truth
or falsiiy of this story. \ recently con-
yicted smuggler now in the penitentiary
here tells the story.

MoSTREAL, December 30. The letter
of Monsignor Fabre, Roman Catholic
Bishop of Montreal, which was read in
ali the churches in the diocese on Sun.
day, has caused widespread indignation
among the majority of the clergy and
their focxs. The reference by the
Bishop to the Riel agitators in their at.
tempts to raise revolt against the
authority of the State and to the politi-
cal use made of the Chui ch in the cele-
bration OF masses for the dead rebel, has
stuug the French Canadians to the very
quick, and many of the Bishops most
intimate friends seem to think he has
made mistake, and, unless he with.
draws or at least modities some
of his statements, he may
expect serious OBJECTIONS from among
his clergy. 1t is known that many
priests refused to read to their ilocks
those parts of the letter which di-
rectly referred TO the Riel question, and
when called upon to explain their mo-
tives they replied that they would
sooner resign and leave their dioceses
than conform to the requirements of the
mandement. The Bishop seems to real
i've that he has gone too far, and init
mated semi-ofiicially that he will ex-
plain his views more fully next Sunday.
