AUGUSTA, Me-, July 13.-ParticularS
have just reached here of fierce battle. in
which about seventy-tive men were Ell
gagged, and which took place on the after
noon and evening of the Fourth some miles
above the forks of the kenne5ec river \
cavalcade of teams belonging 10 party of
Frenchmen was moving nOTthward along
the river road. The wagons We're loaded
with produce, liquor, tobacco, etc,
and the men. fifty or sixty in number, were
on an expedition which had both trade and
temporary employment in harvesting the
hay crop as its object. At about o'clock
in the afternoon the train was suddenly at
tackled by a gang of thirteen river drivers,
who were celebrating the holiday. The as
sailantS made a sudden rush with clubs and
weapons, drove OFF the FTenchmen, upset
the wagons and seized such of the contents
IS they thought of value. The
Frenchmen were not well armed, but they
soon rallied and made a savage charge.
One of them had revolver and he handled
il 50 well that three Of1ive shots took effect,
mOrtally wounding one man and Gripping
another. The other men then produced
one or two pieces of firearms. Y shotgun
in their hands did
SOME EXECUTION,
but the wounds it inflicted were slight.
The next man to fall was Robert Bean, Il
lumberman, whose head was split by an
axe welded by an Infatuated FTenchman.
He will probably die. Another river driver,
pursued at the point OF pistol, leaped
down bank twenty feet high toward the
river, receiving fatal injuries. The fight
continued with varying advantage and Oc-
caSional lulls until 10 o'clock at night.
The overturned wagons were used
as barricadeS and the fort was
several times captured ands,,recaptured.
The rivemen fought most desperately, but
the Frenchmen were not courageous. As
the force of the enemy was reduced, how
ever, their courage increased Before the
last attack was made ten of the lumbermen
were stretched on the fields, with wounds
either fatal or completely disabling. The
remaining three fought rs desperately as at
the outset and the struggle did not end
until only one remained on his feet. He
and his wounded comrades We're made priS-
OneTS and are now in custody 1T the forks.
Besides those whose injuries are described
above, another still lies insenSible and in
critical condition from the effects of blow
on the head with club.

White Bear Trains.

To the Editor OF the Globe.
In regard To the controversy about the
Duluth railroad accommodations to White
Bear, cannot see why the whole system
should be handled with kid gloves. ANY
person with one eye can see by the morning
trains passing White Bear lake that the
policy OF the management is TO make a show
without giving the residents and visitors
OF this healthful summer resort 4 chance TO
live there and do business in ST. Paul
Their time is $40 a. m, too early for any
body, 7:15 a. ~, just late enough TO prevent
the store merchant from reaching his bust
ness in proper time. The next IS $40, Just
late enough to prevent the Office man from
reaching his desk at O'Clock. Now take
the evening trains from White Bear TO St.
Paul-there are none after $50 D. III.
Parties wishing TO enjoy the evening. have
a fish on the lake or fish supper, are again
prevented by this system. for the interval
is too long between the two trains for FAM
lilies.
Then take the grand accommodation OF
Thursday night, II o'clock train, arriving
at St. Paul just late enough TO be too late
Nobody wants TO stay at the lake TO that
hour unless they want TO walk to their
homes and get there by morning, tired out
and wishing the railroad where it ought
to be.
Now. furthermore. the management has
no special train for White Bear lake. Every
train starts from different towns, and as
White Bear is only an intermediate station.
l claim that every cent they get during the
summer travel is clear profit to them.
The proximity OF White Bear TO the three
largest towns of Minnesota should warrant
a good Sunday time card. Our working
classes OF people have as much right to en-
JOY one day in the week in Gods open
country as the rich merchant. but our Du-
luth management is afraid that the sale of
tickets would make such a showing that
there would soon be an opposition railroad.

Hanged Himself i'm the Woods.

The body of Fritz Feihe was found
hanging in the woods on the old Perry
Wilson farm. two miles south of lie Sueur
Center. last Friday. The st. Peter Herald
says Feihe had been missing for about one
week when the body was found. He and
wife and one daughter came to Ottawa
from Germany fifteen years ago and settled
in the woods four miles east of Ottawa
About two years ago the old couple pur-
chased the Perry Wilson farm and one year
ago last winter Mrs. Feihe died. and Feihe,
without notifying the neighbors of the
death, came to St. Peter to obtain a coffin.
He was in st. Peter two days and when
he returned the cats had disfigured the
face of the dead body in terrible manner.
1t was also stated by some that the woman
was not yet dead when he left for st.
Peter, but this is a mistake. The matter
was brought to the attention of the grand
jury and. although nothing was done with
Feline, lie has brooded over his trouble
since. That with poor health and his
lonely condition led him to end his life.
The report that he was murdered is all nom
sense.

TOPEKA, July IA gentleman from
COmanche county, who arrived in Topeka
to-day, says that fears of an Indian out
break still exist among citizens of that
county. The settlers seem to think that
the CheyenneS will go on the warpath al
most any time while they are on the
reservation. He says that a few DAYS
ago the Indians removed their
best ponies 10 APPOINT where troops could
not reach t6em in case the agency was at
tackled. He thought that Southwest Kan
saS might Yet experience the horrors of an
Indian raid. Such an opinion will have
little weight when It is remembered that
the entire southwestern border of Kansas is
now guarded by soldiers.
INDIAN MOVEMENTS.
WICHITA. KaS., July 13.-The excite
ment is hourly Increasing. The Cheyennes
for three or four days have been going off
in bands of from twenty to fifty. Some of
these bands return in a day pr two. then 20
again, so it is impossible to tell how many
are away. The bridge across the
river, between the fort and the
agency is being pushed rapidly. A band of
Cheyennes night before last stopped at the
ranch of the {. & 4. Cattle company, hav-
me- IN their possession herd OF stolen
mules and horses. They forced Ianchmen
to get them something to eat. Another
band was seen with q lot of
stock within twenty miles OF
Camp Supply. The stock stolen from the
Panhandle OF Texas is already making its
appearance among the home Indians. No
doubt some of these rowing bands got as
far north as'the Kansas line. and their pres
ence gave rise TO the late scare.
Col. Chapman, commander of Fort Sup
ply, accompanied by his interpreter,
has arrived at Darlington to act with
Commissioner Armstrong. The Indians
are very anxious TO discover the intention
Of the government towards them and eX-
