THE g.
Sickening ID tails Of the Recent Massacre
In Wyoming.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., September "a Leader
special from Rock Springs gives the latest
that can be obtained form the scene of the
recent anti Chinese troubles. All is quiet
to-day. The miners have returned to work
At a meeting held last night measures were
taken to put a stop to the drunken carou-
sails OF few OF their number, who have
been celebrating the removal of the Chinese
Two more dead Celestials were found to-
day-one in the ruins of China town and an
other beneath the bridge about mile east.
The heather had been wounded and, man
aged to walk that far before he gave up.
Your correspondent talked with the miners
to-day who took an active part in the at
tack upon Chinatown, and was told that
less than third of the dead Chinese in the
ruins OF the houses have been found thus
far. They declare that no less tina n twenty
five were shot down inside the burned build
ings. These buildings had dirt roofs, which
covered up the dead Cinnamon when the
dwellings succumbed to the flames, and as
no actual search has been made in the
ruins it is quite probable that these state
ments are true. Cinnamon are still arriv-
ing at stations east and west almost dead
from fright and weak from fatigue and lack
OF food. All are shipped to Evanston by
the company. They reiterate the state.
ment that many have died in the hills from
wounds received in the attack upon them.
1t is reported here that the white miners at
Almy, in the western end of the Territory,
have notified the Chinese laborers in the
mines that they must leave inside OF three
days, and that the Union Pacific has guar
anteed their removal within the time speci-
fed. The Celestials all along the road re-
fused to work to-day and demanded passes
to Evanston. The Chinese laundrymen and
servants at Green River were told last night
that they must leave within twelve hours,
and they will go west on to-day's express.

FIGHTAT SPRING HILL.
Probable Fatal ARRAY Between Two
WOrkiDgmen.

Last Tuesday Il difficulty occurred be-
tween William Garland and John William
son, both machinists employed in the
Uthah & Northern round house at Spring
Hill, caused, it is said, by the jealousy OF
Williamson. The latter left the shop, but
soon re-entered with a revolver in his left
hand and a four-inch dirk in his right
When quite near to Garland he commenced
swapping the revolver at him. Garland
dropped his tools and took the pistol away
from Williamson. The two clinched, and
i'll the struggle that ensued for the posses
sion of the dirk, both fcll-Garland on top.
Williamson still retained his hold on the
weapon, and while his adversary was de-
livering sturdy blows with his fists, he
managed to make eight ugly gashes in Gar
lands body-nearly disemboweling him
before they were separated. Garland got
up and attempted to walk away, when he
dropped to the floor in q fainting condition.
Medical assistance was summoned and after
an examination it was found that Garland
had received a slight cut back OF the left
ear, one on the left shoulder, three in the
back, one or left side, opening cavity of the
body and exposing the omentum, Ga por-
ton OF which had to be removed) and lib
Grating part OF the intestines; one through
the muscles Of the left thigh. All OF the
cuts are very deep, and several OF them
are dangerous. Williamson was arrested
and placed in Jail, where he will be held
until the result oi the I'M uries are ascer-
tanned.

RIEL's CASE.
An Interview With Secretary Bayard on
the Subject.

QUEBEC, September 4.-Major Mallet, an
influential French Canadian, now in the
United States, sent a communication to
Rlel's Sympatizers here, in which he gives
the substance OF aninterview with Secretary
Bayard, respecting Riels case, as follows:
First-The American Government will not
cake an initiative in respect to an effort to be
made to establish Riel's title to American
citizenship or his rights in that quality.
Second-Up to the present time the Amer
lcan Government has not given any atten-
ton to the question beyond inquiring from
the War Department as to the truth of the
statement that Riel was made a prisoner
On American soil. This inquiry having
been made on the demand of citizen of
the city OF New York who asked for infor--
nation on the subject.
Third-The Government will not consider
thequestion in any way unless presented for
consideration in formal manner with a
statement in writing of the facts and ar
guments upon which the application for it's
Intervention is based.
Fourth-The Government is not disposed
toinvestigate the facts or review proceedings
OF the court which passed judgement on Riel
unless shown that Riel's trial was con-
Quoted according to more rigorous methods
than would be adopted in the trial OF a
subject OF her Majesty the Queen under
like circumstances.
Fitth-The Government recognizes the prin-
ciple that every country has theright to de-
termine for itself what constitutes treason,
and is not disposed to question the right
OF Canada to try Riel for treason, even if
he were an American citizen by birth or
process OF naturaliza ton.
The Secretary considered Riel's case like
that of the Irish revolutionists, us they are
styled, in so far that the American Gov
would do all that was proper for
Riel, as 1t had done for others.

Bad Indians.

Last Saturday morning a young son of
T. J. Demers of Frenchtown told his father
who was in the house that some Indians
were opening a gate into a field and were
going to drive some stock through. Mr..
Demers went out and told the Indians that
they could not go through there, but must
go around another way. The Indians, how
ever, used abusive language to him, and one
placed an arrow in a bow and drew it on
him. Mr. Demers picked up a club and told
the Indian he had better not shoot, at the
same time retreating to the house where
he could arm himself. Getting inside he
obtained a pistol, but the ladies of the
house were very much alarmed, and insisted
that he should not go out. The Indians in
the meantime went away from the place,
though they remained in the town ali day
They were Nez Perces from Idaho and were
more or less intoxicated, and seemed to re-
main in that condition all day.-Mssou-

SAD ACCIDENT.
i Young Nan at Garrison Loses His
Hand.

Yesterday a young man named DeWolfe,
who is employed at Thompson's saw mill,
near GARRISON met with serious accident
in a heroic and successful effort to save the
life OF Il fellow workman. 1t appears that
the men were engaged in wood chopping
and DeNolfe had just feled large tree
It's fall was prevented by another tree, and
he made the necessary efforts to dislodge
it. In Il moment it was cleared and begun
to descend when DeWolfe noticed that it
was almost certain to fall on his compan-
ion and crush him. Instinctively and
promptly he sprang forward, seized the
young man and pulled him toward himself
and out of danger. In doing this he was
compelled to place his left hand on fallen
tree as a sort OF purchase, and the result
was that the descending tree fell upon and
crushed it. He thus succeeded
in saving the life OF his friend at the expense
of his hand. The wounded man was at
once taken to Deer Lodge where, after an
examina ton, it was decided that it would
be impossible to save the hand, and it was
amputated at the wrist.
Young DeWolfe was made as comfortable as
possible and is praised on all sides for his
and foresight.

WABASH TROUBLES.
The Knights Of Labor Deliver an Ul-
timatum and Manager Tai
mage Objects to It.

ST. LOUIS, September AT IL O'Clock
this morning the General Executive Board
Of the Knights of Labor called on General
Manager Talmage, and submitted as an .ul-
timatum in the matter of the Wabash
troubles: :
First-That a general order be issued
along the Wabash lines instructing the pro-
h'bition OF discrimination against Knights
of Labor.
Second-That all employees who have in
any manner taken an active part since the
10th of June in the settlement of the
trouble be given their position held prior
to the said 18th of June, at once
Thlrd-The reinstatement of all other
locked out employees on or before October
1, 1885. :.
Fourth-That all who have come out
since June 18th in support of those locked
out on that date be reinstated on or before
October LIST.
Talmage answered that the Wabash was
In the hands OF a receiver and that the
Court was insisting on reduction of the
expenses, consequently he could not put
the men to work now, as he has neither
work nor money to pay them. In regard
to the demand for reinstatement he de-
clared that he could say nothing, as he did
not know what the demands for labor or
the financial condition of the road would
be on that date. -
Messrs. Powderly and Turner returned
and held a secret conference with the Wa
bash District Committee, lasting several
hours. At p. m. they were not ready to
say what action they would take

COMPLIMENTARY.
Kind Words From One of MOntana's
Editors.

Editor Yerkes OF the Bozeman Chronicle,
who was in attendance at the meeting OF
the Montana Press Association, held in
this city few days ago, has the following
kind words to say of this camp:
From a high point on the busy mountain
sides the reflective mind has much to see
and comment upon. Where a few years
ago. the hardy prospector delved among
the rocks Of the echoless hills, giant smelters
with towering black chimneys now send
volumes OF black smoke toward the blue
dome OF heaven, clouding the sun and moon
with its thick pail. Here are men working
with windlass by hand; their neighbor
with horse power, and casting it's long
shadows over these busy men, the steam
hosting works employing engines OF 25O
horsepower, hundreds of men, using tons
OF salt, cords of wood-one firm having
constantly on hand 100000 worth-lime,
water fumes, serpentine railways, employ
ing teamsters, horses, carpenters, engineers,
machinists, miners, laborers, etc.
THE MINES OF BUTTE
are divided into four zones, the first and
highest produces silver, wkile the others at
different points on the mountain side pro-
duce copper. The Anaconda is the greatest
OF the copper mines in Butte, and it's
smelters the largest OF the kind in the
world. The wood used by this company
per day is ninety cords. Next in Importance
is the Parrot smelter, which it was our
privilege to visit and witness the wonders
within it's walls. This mine produces daily
$50 tons of copper ore The ore is worked
by new system, designed by a French
company, by which the company expect to
produce this year 15,OOO,OOO pounds of
pure copper. There seen,s to be an opin-
ion prevalent among the monied men of
the camp that the mines have merely
scratched the ground; that the develop
ment OF later years will reveal continued
and increasing richness of the veins, that
new mines will be discovered and that the
camp will be the most permanent one yet
discovered. Montana may well feel proud
Of it's Butte.
While visiting the Moulton mine the Wis
tors were invited to the residence of the
superintendent, Joe Clark, where Mrs.
lark had prepared refreshments for the
guests. and for one hour they were most |
'oyally entertained. If Mr. Clark had been |
sven correspondent for medical journal |
We believe that the whole press gang, as one
nan, would have voted for him as an hon
orarv member.

A number OF similar communications were

cred by carriers in the Government build
ings, committed breach Of section IL of
the Civil service act, which reads as follows:

any manner whatever, or receive any con-
tribution of money or any other thing of
value for any political purpose whatever"
Sec. IL of the same act expressly for
bids such solicitations by any person in the

able that an examination will be made to
