CUTS The WRONG way

y The Indians, Who Were Dissatisfied With
Il the PreseIfce of the Cattle Rarons On
Their Lands Now Miss Their Rent Mon
> ey--Fears of Trouble. &-g
WICHITA FALLS, TEX, December 15.~-
=. w ord has reached here from Fort Reno.
in the Arapahoe Reservation, Indian Ter
ritory, chat IAN outbreak is imminent
among the Cheyennes and Arapal1oes.
Great dissatisfaction prevails among the
bucks of these tribes, which is aggravated
by the loss of the large sums of rent
money which they had been receiving for
the past ten years from the cattle barons.
Since President Cleveland has elected the
cattIemen from these reservations, of
course, rental payments have ceased.
The Indians who set up such q clamor at
the presence of white settlers never real
ICED what source of supply these white
intruders were. They paid from four to
ten cents an acre for the use of
grazing lands, and this money was di-
yided quarterly per capita among the
bucks of the Cheyenne and Arapahoe
Tribes, and it kept them in whisky, to-
bacco, old plug hats, ETC., the entire year.
The period for distribution of quarters
rental has Just passed, and the bucks rode
from all parts of the Nation to receive
their stipend, but found nothing awaiting
them Now they accuse the Government
of robbing them, and are ready for an
outbreak. Those Chiefs who were most
urgent in demanding the expulsion of the
catt1emen are now the most rampant de-
nouncers of the Government. It was
thought the recent issues of annuity
goods by the Government at Darlington
Agency would pacify the disgruntled Red
skins, but it has had the very opposite
effect. This was the first annuity supply
to the Cheyennes and Arapahoes in three
years, and the Indians thought they were
entitled to three times as much as usual.
But Congress made them no back appro-
priation. Hence, they claim they are be-
ing robbed. Murders and outrages may
be looked for in these reservations
shortly

LONDON, December 16.--The growing
anxiety regarding the situation in Egypt,
noticed in these dispatches last night, is
still more apparent this evening. It is
learned that orders have been received at
the Government arsenals to prepare
munitions OF war in large guam
titles and be in readiness to ship
them Of once to the Soudan,
and that these orders were quickly fol-
lowed by urgent acquisitions yesterday
for Immediate shipment of arms and
stores sufficient for fifty regiments. Fear
is expressed that the government may
have received some bad news from
Cairo that has not yet become
public. The additional details
OF the severe lighting at Koseshon Sum
day have been received. The British are
SAID to have repulsed the Arabs with
great slaughter. Those familiar with
Arab fighting know that this implies con-
siderable loss on the other side, and par
ttculars are anxiously awaited.

Bold and Successful Burglary.

WABASH, IND, November 11.-Quite a
sensation was occasioned here this evening
by the discovery that the residence of
Isaac New, leading Hebrew merchant
living in the eastern portion of the city,
had been visited by burglars and property
to the value of $1,000 taken. The members
of the family OF New left the dwelling at
O'Clock and were absent about an hour.
While they were away cracksmen re-
moved window from the kitchen, climbed
in, and leisurely packed up every
portable article of value, and made good
their escape. Two sealskin cloaks, four
silk dresses, about 5000 worth of table sill
yer, and jewelry valued at an equal sum,
was carried off. The plunder was con-
veyed through the back door, and it is
remarkable that none of the neighbors OBJ
served the departure of the crooks. The
officers were apprised of the robbery i'm
mediately upon the return of Mrs. New, at
4 o'clock, but no clew to the burglars has
been obtained, and it is doubtful whether
they will be apprehended. The job was,
beyond question, performed bv foreign
talent.

A States Prison Romance,

JOLIET, ILL.,, November 1.-THE myste-
rious murder of Dr. Allen, prominent
resident of Sandwich, ILL.,, six years ago,
created a great sensation in this State. A
young man named William Thomas, pre-
viously of high character, was arrested
and, principally on the evidence of female
detective from Chicago, was convicted
and sentenced to fifteen years in the pen
itentiary. Yesterday it was developed
that few days since James Young, con-
vict sent from Carroll County, recently
had made full confession of the crime,
going into minute and hitherto unknown
details and assigning remorse as the reason
for his action. An indictment was quietly
found in the DeKalb Circuit Court yester-
day, writ of habeas corpus was issued,
and last night Sheriff Wood left the peni-
tentiary with Young. Thomas has always
protested his entire innocence of the crime.
SYCAMORE, ILL, November 12.-James
Young, the convict sent to the Penitentiary
for ten years seven months ago from Car
roll County, and who has confessed to the
murder of Hiram P. Allen, a retired farmer
OF Sandwich, on the night of February IA,
1851, was brought into court yesterday,
and in response to the usual interroga-
ooiIoc, odiu ue ull uOU WISH an attorney,
and pleaded guilty. On being asked by
Judge Killom if he understood the full i'm
port of his plea, and that he was liable to
be hanged, Young replied that he was
fully aware of it, and persisted
in pleading guilty. "Then, SIR"
said the Judge, "the Court must say
this is among the most astonishing cases on
record. The idea of man coming here
and eliseriug this plea is almost beyond be-
lief, and the Court will not enter the plea
of guilty until he has taken some measures
to ascertain regarding your sanity, and see
whether you are responsible for your acts"
Young protested that he knew what he was
about, and wished to write out statement,
but Judge Killom would not accept his
plea. and will cause special jury to test
his sanity.
SYCAMORE, ILL.,, November 13.--In the
County Court to-day Judge Kellum an
nounced as his opinion that the confession
of the convict Young of the murder of DR..
Allen was sufficient for the court and SEN
fenced him to Imprisonment for life. This
must result in the release of the innocent
man now in Joliet pententiary.

A CONFEDERATION.
Galveston, Tex, Visited by a Ter
rible Calamity.
Sixty Blocks Burned-From Street to
Street the Demon of Fire Leaps.

GALVESTON, November 13-3:25.--a. m.--
A destructive fire is now raging in the
eastern part of the city, between Sixteenth
and Seventeenth streets. The fire broke
out at 40 q. M. in small foundry on the
north side of Strand street, near the corner
OF Sixteenth. The flames rapidly spread
under stiff north wind, and the prospects
are that Galveston is about to suffer a
great loss. Six dwelling houses are already
burned and immense clouds of sparks are
being carried four or five squares over the
roofs of wooden houses. The entire Fire
Department is on the ground, but they
seem paralyzed and unable to fight the
flames because of the fierce wind and suf-
locating smoke.
8:45 a. m.-The fire has at this hour
spread over seven blocks, and has become
a great conf1agration. Fully fifty dwell.
lngs are burning fiercely, and the path of
the fire as itprogresses southwark is filed
with the finest residences in the city, but
all are wooden. For five squares south
the fire was confined to the width of one
square, between Sixteenth and dSeventeenth
streets, but when it crossed Winnie street,
six squares from the starting point, it
jumped diagonally to the southeast into the
ing one-third of the city.
GALVESTON, Tex, November 13.-7 a. m.
The fire is still burning fiercely. 1t is
now about four blocks from the Beach, 1t
is raging on Avenue en-" 1t is still
spreading on both sides, and has cut a
swath of six blocks. There is great dis
tress and hundreds of families lose every
thing. The loss already reaches several
millions of dollars.
GALVESTON, TEXAS, November 1910
a. m.-The fire has now reached within
three blocks of the beach, and is still
spreading its path for that spot. The ef-
forts of the firemen seem powerless.
GALVESTON, November 1910 a. m.-
Over fifteen hundred residences have been
destroyed, and hundreds of families are
homeless. The fire extended from the Bay
to the Gulf.
GALVESTON, November 13.-11 20 a. m.-
The fire has recahed the beach. About a
mile and half in some places and six or
seven blocks wide is consumed. The wind
is blowing terrific gale, e,and the fire is still
| burning fiercely and is not under control.
Hundreds aretin despair, and the scenes of
sorrow and desolation are most ,heartrend-
ing.
Up. m.-The flames continued their course
fercely until this hour, they had appar-
| emily exhausted themselves, having burned
] right across the city and reach cd the gulf
| on the south side of the island. Over four
| hundred houses were burned, and thous-
and families are homeless. The - ia 0s-
tlmated at 81 800, 900.

lung tonight, from a revolver fred by one
Max Rittenberg, drunken shoemaker,
who quickly fed, shooting promiscuously
at people who pursued him, and div.

the weapon at his own temple,
pulled the trigger and died instantly
Rittenberg has been regarded as a crank
on the subject of Nihilism, and tonight
