Work of Renegade Indians.


DEMING, November 9th.-The messenger
who brought in the news of the killing of
Mrs. John I. Shy Saturday, was so scared
and excited, and his story was so incohe-
| rent that 1t was not till daylight, when the
bodies OF the slain were brought in that
the truth was known. 1t seems that at
noon band OF about thirteen Indians sur
rounded Shy's house. One Indian. in
| approaching the window at which Shv sat,
| made slight noise by striking his foot
against box, and at the sound Shy turned
in time to look down a rifle in the hands OF
the Indian. This was the first intimation
he had OF the presence of the Indians. He
jumped for his rifle, and both fred almost
at the same instant For two hours the
Indians fired into the house at every oppor-
tunity, Shy returning the fire. The Indians
then set fire to the home of John Yeater,
one of the members of the Missouri
Florida Cattle Company, whose house
adjoined the Shys. When Shy's house
caught fire, he told his wife and boy, the
latter aged II years, to follow MIN out and
make break for the nearest ravine and
hide, while he covered their retreat. On
opening the door he was met by a shower
of bullets, and on reaching the nearest pile
of rocks, five Indians sprang up the muz-
zles of their guns being less than two feet
apart. Alter one ire the Indians
ran, leaving Shy in possession of the rock
pile. His wife and child made good their
retreat to the ravine Shy fought the In
dams all the afternoon till shutdown. when
they left. John Yeater and wife were in
Deming all day, returning at night When
about five miles from the ranch they were
met by the Indians and killed. The man
was killed by bullet wound in the head
The woman, when found, lay on her face,
with her skull crushed in. A relief party
brought the bodies into Deming. They
also brought in Mrs. Shy, who was nearly
dead with fright and fatigue, and her boy,
who was badly wounded bya bullet through
his thigh. Shy escaped unhurt. Captain
Chaffee's lookout, on a point of the noun
tain, saw the burning house and went to
investigate. The men were surprised by
the Indians, and one scout was killed and
one soldier wounded. John Yeater came
here from Pitts county, Missouri, was
about 30 years of age and reputed TO be
worth good deal of money. He was a
highly respected citizen. Mrs. Yeater, who
was about % years Old and rather hand
some woman, had made many friends and
acquaintance during a year and halfs
residence in this section. The town is very
much excited, and business has been en-
tirely suspended. Groups of men have all
day surrounded the American House,
where the bodies have been laid out.

Annexation of Hawaii

CARSON, November 9th.-The Free Lo1.ce
of this city publishes the following: A
grapevine telegram from Washington CITY
brings news that the Hon. Rollin Mallory
Daggett has disclosed to President Cleve-
land and his Cabinet, the matters which
were committed to his charge by King
Kalakaua upon the departure of the ex-
United States Minister from the dominion
of his Majesty. In brief. it is proposition
for the absolute annexation of the Ha-
waiian kingdom to the United States, upon
the condition of being admitted to the
Union on an equal footing with the original
States, as Texas in 1916. This explains Mr..
Daggetts apparent Indifference to the stand
ing of the Senatorial contest in this State,
for if the present negotiations should sue
coed, he would have no difficulty in secur-
ing from the grateful new State of Hawaii

GAINING FRIENDS.

The Chicago Current, which recently
pronounced emphatically against unre-
stricted Chinese immigration, because It
believes it tends to lower the standard of
our civilization, still continues the friend
of the Pacific slope. In its most recent
issue it refers to the fact that the Christian
EatelIigencer Reformed Presbyterian, al
though printed in New York city, is not
blinded to the difficulties of the problem
presented by Chinese cheap labor. The
Current adds: This able religious Jour-
nal, surrounded by the deceptive ethics of
its region, is entitled to the highest praise
for being able to see that something had
to be done concerning the Chinese, and
that the question is by no means at rest"
After referring to November LIST being
fixed by several Pacific communities for
expulsion of the Chinese, our contempo-
rary says: That the employers in the
Far West are taking dangerous chances is
shown by the steady accessions of heather
workers along the Union Pacific In face
of straightforward United States law,
the Chinese pour in upon the American
people. Does not that place the Govern
ment in an unenviable position? 1t does
The working classes will again set upon
the Chinese, and it cannot be possible that
they will forever overlook the chief mis-
chief-makers-those employers who for a
few dollars would sell their fellow white
men into a Chinaman's condition of life"

ABDUCTED BY a BEAR.-The Mountain
Miner publishes this story:
While riding through the willows near
the head of the west fork of Rock creek.
Montana, one day recently, Harry Morgan
had an experience with grizzly that will
linger about the panels of his memory dur
ing life. He rode directly into the embrace
of she bear as large as a five year-old
steer. Bruin quietly knocked Harry off
his horse, and quickly throwing him on
her back, she quietly trotted up the stream
about a mile, and then, throwing him
down in a washout, deliberately covered
him over with brush and dirt. After care
fully completing her work, madame
started after her family. Harry, nothing
the worse for the incident, save sense of
offended personal dignity, got out of the
brush pile and went down the creek with
the speed of an express train. This same
beast, day or two before, caught large
COW belonging to Colonel Morse and killed
her at one blow. Any one doubling either
of the above stories knows too little of
this county to live in it with any safety.

Another vitriol-Throwing Case.

TOMBSTONE. November 9th - Inspired
by the reports of the sensational vitriol-
throwing case in San Francisco, Annie
Allen, resident of this city, committed
like crime upon George Bergman, a waiter
in restaurant. The crime was committed
about o'clock Sunday morning. The
acid burnt Bergman badly, and endan-
gered one eye. 1t is believed that his sight
is in doubtful condition. The woman is
in jail. She acted while under the influ-
ence of liquor and swayed by jealousy.

IT Is a strange commentary upon the
feeling regarding the Chinese question
upon this coast that the first difficulty that
occurred at Seattle after United States
troops were sent there to protect the Chi
nese from asSaults-but none of which had
been made up to that time-grew out of a
battery by one of the soldiers upon Chi,
naman, which required the interference of
a Knight of Labor in behalf of John. So
1t came about that the very men the troops
were sent to oyerawe became the protectors
of the Chinese against the force sent to
shelter them from outrage

FREE FRUIT sH1ppIye-Tbe yacaviIl

.Jltdicion of November 9Th says
The fruit-growers of Vacaville do not
take kindly to the proposition of forming
corporations to handle their fruit 1t is a
common expression that we should be
ready to engage in any plan to secure the
most favorable freight rates, but no one is
ready TO engage in a business which will
prevent his controlling the direction of his
own shipment As one big raneher ex-
pressed it: If l undertake to ship car
load of fruit to Chicago I don't propose to
tie myself up to a corporation which will
send my car to Santa Fe or New Orleans. y

THE San Francisco Cal warns the people
living along the Columbia river Of the dan
ger of acquiescence in the proposal to be-
gin hydraulic mining upon some of the
chief tributaries of that stream. The
warning is timely. If in the United States
anywhere such system as has wrought
almost irreparable injury to the Sacra-
mento river is tolerated, after the example
that has been given in California of the
disastrous effects of such process, the suf-
erers will not be worthy of sympathy.

obligations not modified by law must be
maintained and the Chinese protected
from assault, but it is not needed that a
representative of China should threaten
Americans with commercial punishment
to accomplish these ends.

Trapping bears is gettingto be quite COM
mon in this county E. Estill set some
traps on his ranch, three miles above Mr..
Petijohn's place, on Cold Fork of Cotton
wood, last Friday night, and, when he
visited them on Saturday morning. found
little baby bear of the black species fast
by one foot in one of the traps. AS soon
as Mr.. Estill went near the trap little Bruin
bawled loudly and piteously. 1t seems
that the mother was near by, and hearing
the cry of distress, she rushed out of the
chaparral and started for Mr. Estill, who
being armed with repeating rifle. sent a
ball through her loins, which disabled her
so that she could not run fast, and in an
other minute and when she was within a
few feet OF her enemy. the hunter sent an
other ball through her heart, killing her
instantly. He then dispatched the cub.
and after skinning the old bear, took the
skin and cub home

SHOT FOR A SKUNK.-The MERGED Err
press of November eth furnishes this:
Mike McFadden, a laboring man, while
tramping along with his blankets on his
back near Los Banos on Sunday last came
to a strawstack on the ranch of an Italian
and camped for the night. During the
early morning hours the dogs on the farm
discovered McFadden's whereabouts, and
kept up such continual barking that the
Italian took his double barrel shotgun and
went out to the straw pile to discover what
the CANNES had bayed. On approaching
the stack in the darkness he saw something
black in the straw and blazed away: The
black object then turned over and he turned
loose the other barrel. Mr.. McFadden
souealed, and the Italian exclaimed, why,
| thought you were a skunk" The mans
legs were filled with bird shot. The Italian
brought the wounded man to MERGED, and
he is now in the County Hospital. DR..
O'Brien, who is attending him, says there
are no bones broken, and that the patient
will soon be all right.

De LEssEPs asks the French Govern
ment to permit him to run lottery upon
the bond redemption plan, in order to raise
the sum of $12O,O0O,0OO. This, he says, is
needed to meet expenses of the construc-
ton of the Panama ship canal, in excess
OF estimates. The original estimate of
cost was just that sum. So the mistake in
calculation was double the amount the en-
gineers thought at first necessary to dig
the ditch. If the latest reports regarding
the progress of the work and the condition
of the workmen be true-and there is no
strong reason to believe it exaggerated
the amount now asked for will not be half

pertinent now, likely to tempt investors,

The newest thing out is the ailectation
of styling the dining-room a " refectory."
In this struggle for something more "styl-
ish" than the good old sensible and mean
ing compound word, the fashionable world
goes wrong again. Refractory properly i'm
plies room where a moderate repast is
served but not dinner And originally
and truly to this date it means a place for
taking light repast in a convent or mon
astery. But If the new application of the
word is to obtain, let the fashionables 60 a

common, even among the ultra-fashion-
able, for the world will not be reconciled
to the elimination of the sensible, express
sive and simple terms now used to desig-
nate the rooms where dinner is served, or
supper or breakfast taken. In each case
the prefxed word indicating the purpose
of the apartment is always the best desig-
nation. So far as the substitution of re-
fectory for lunch-room is concerned, there
will be interposed no objection, for this

GOVERNOR ROBINSON, of Massachusetts
has set a good example. He refused to
pledge himself to any given line of action
upon a measure to be brought before the
Legislature that must have his approval
to become law. The proposed bill is
one to exempt soldiers from the operations
of the Massachusetts civil service law.
Replying to the question if ne would sign
such bill if passed, this courageous Exc
cutive said:
Recognizing the relations which are estab.
lished by the Constitution between the legisla-
tive branches of our Government, and which
have been sedulously observed to this day.
should regard it as an improperly, if not a dis
courtesy, to pledge executive approval or disap-
proval of any specific bill prior to its introduce
ton into or consideration by, the General Court
and before the usual official communication to
1t from the Executive Department. To an
nounce in advance that / woald sign or veto
measure, which might be laid before me by the
Legislature, would be equivalent to declara-
ton that would not perform my duty of con
slderins it upon its merits at the time and in
the manner prescribed by the Constitution.
Here is a lesson that may well be studied
by all Governors, and by all candidat es for
gubernatorial honorS.
