The panic Of 1887 did not affect

Red Devils at Work.

A reign of terror Is rampant throughout
New Mexico induced by the horrible and muir
derous outrages which are being perpetrated
by the Apache Indians. The terror of death is
as nothing compared with the fear of falling
alive into the hands of the red flends. The
excitement is very great and threats of ven
geance mean all and more than is expressed in
words. There is but little hope that the
United States troops will do more than drive
the Apaches back and check the marauders.
The belief is deep that the proper course to be
taken is one of humiliation. The bodies Of
Col. Phillips family, murdered by Apaches,
were brought into Silver City the other day.
all horribly mutilated. The daughter had
been hung up alive bya meat hook stuck In
tie back Of her head. Mrs. Phillips eyes had
been gouged out, ears and breasts cut off, and
she was otherwise brutally mangled. The
citizens are frantic that such outrages should
be perpetrated without check.
Another dispatch says that the Indians have
scattered and are now in small bands in differ
ent parts of Southwestern New Mexico and
mostly in the vicinity of the Black range. More
than thirty citizens are reported killed and
many of them are mangled beyond recognition.
The most sickening details of the massacre Of
entire families come from the neighborhood Of
Silver City. Women have been outraged,
murdered and horribly mutiated, and the cti-
zens are holding meetings and discussing the
propriety of arming and visiting the San Carlos
reservation in body to wipe out of existence
that nursery Of Indian raiders. IL appears al
most certain that this will be attempted IL the
reddevils now deluglng the land with blood
should be permitted to get back upon the
reservation. The danger of general Indian
outbreak is becoming daily more apparent.
Mexico ought to be invited TO join with the
United States in an effort TO put final end 10
these periodical raids.

lake of Cashmere, Is crowded with
boats which are packed with refugees. Many
others have sought shelter in hastily erected
huts and tents outside the walls. Hundreds OF
animals have been killed, and the destruction
of property Is enormous. The distress which
prevails is appalling, and the dispatches which
brought the first intelligence of the disaster
contained urgent appeals for assistance. At

A sHREWD OFFICIAL
Gets Into tho Government $4,000 Worth

An Associated Press dispatch from Lewis
ton, Idaho, gives the following account of an
astonishingly simple scheme by which post
master got into Uncle Sans pockets to the
tune of nearly $4,000. The dispatch says;
Isaac Hibbs was appointed postmaster at
registered mail pouch was robbed An official
investigation developed nothing and the affair
was eventually forgotten. On May I'd last
Hibbs left for an alleged silver mine on the
upper Columbia. The postal inspector, alarm
ed at his continued absence, investigated the
affairs of the Office, and found hibbs had
written receipts for a number OF registered mail
packages destined for fictitious names In diff
ferent postofiices supplied from Lewiston.
The modus operandi was as follows Lewiston
is n Notwithstanding point for u large number
of Offices in northern Idaho and eastern Wash
ington. Hibbs would issue money order for
a iictous name at these offices drawn in favor
of II bank in Iowa, where orders were payable.
The customary letter OF advice was forwarded
to the paying postmaster He then wrote TO
the banks that he would shortly visit the town,
and enclosed q money order and requested
the banks to cash them and place
the amount to his credit on deposit
until he arrived. Later he wrote the bank
that he could not make the contemplated visit,
and requested that draft for the amount Of
money on deposit be returned by registered
mail to fictitious name attached to the money
orders and always at some office where the
mail passed through Lewiston. The drafts ar
rived by registered mail. Hibbs signed ficti-
tlous names and returned a receipt card and
the transaction was completed. Money orders
are limited to $500 in favor of one person, but
with forethought and judlcous distribution Of
dates and places an opening oilers through
which INSCRIPTIONS postmasters could bank
rupt the United States. The amount of the
defalcation exceeds $4,000 and is expected 10
reach $4,000. The scheme is surprisingly sim
pie, ant the officers are surprised it was never
thought Of and worked before.

has undertaken the patriotic task OF interesting
Michigan women in the plan of furnishing and
caring for that part of the Washington mansion

A HOLY TERROR.
A Madman Boards Wabash Train


Louis Reaume, formerly OF Detroit, boarded
the Wabash train at Kansas City after debark-
ing from the Denver express Saturday after
noon. Nav go and at once showed an incli-
nation to be let alone. The conductor secured
his ticket, and that was the last seen of him
until he fell rddled with bullets on Fourth
ave in Chicago ;he next day. The car in which
Reaume rode also contained other passengers,
who were forced TO vacate by Reaume, who
drew a 4tcalibre revolver from his pocket when
20 miles from Kansas City. Alarm prevailed
from all sides, and when the engine approached
the station the whistle was blown vigorously,
hoping to warn people Of the danger.
The trip was uneventful until Ell Paso was
reached, when the fireman of the locomotive
showed his head at the door OF the car. A
bullet went through his hat, which caused him
to vacate the platform without tending his re-
spects. The conductor proceeded to detach
the car containing the maniac from the train,
but Reaume espied the train mems action and
walking to the front door of the car said: VI
won't hurt any one that don't hurt me; so
please yoke up that car mighty quick. Do you
hear!"
Reaume emphasized his demand by firing
several volleys at the train men, but no one
was hurt. The train was coupled together and
proceeded to the next telegraph station where
word was sent to Chenoa. asking the marshal
to meet the train and arrest Reaume The
marshal was on hand but when four bullets
went through his coat and hat he wisely con-
cluded to pass.
Then word was sent TO Chicago. At Engle-
wood the ladies were driven into the baggage
car and Reaume had two chair cars TO himself.
Great CONSERVATION prevailed among the
women, many fainting. On approaching the
depot at Fourth avenue engine gave warning
signals and 100 policemen surrounded the car.
The first officer Reaume saw was Barrett. He
shot through the window, the ball hitting Bar
rett in the back. He expired few minutes
later
Lieut.. Laughlln finally shot Reaume in the
back and drove him from the car. He ran to
Fourth avenue, loading and firing his revolver
ut everyone. Two more bullets from Laughln's
revolver struck Reaume but he did not fall.
Laughlin and officer Terry then closed In on
him, and before Reaume could reload his
weapon he was disarmed. The crowd of per-
haps 1000 persons wanted to lynch him, but he
was removed TO the hospital, MORALLY wounded,
Rcaume has mother and brother in Detroit
and two brothers at Crosse Isle, Wayne coun-
ty. His mother is i'll, and Reaume was on his
way 10 visit her when overtaken by this sad
calamity.
