of him until yesterday when an express
package containing -. 500 was placed in the
hands OF the President, with brief note ask
ing that the money be credited to his account.
This was indeed a surprise and created no lit

INDIAN TROUBLES.
Military Preparing to Squelchthe Indians in
Case of an Attempted Outbreak.

KANSAS CITY, July 1s.-A dispatch from CTisfield,
Kas., says: AT 10 O'Clock tonight friday strong
details of cavalry securing the county TO the south
southeastand southwest OF camp have not yet re
turned. The disposition of the troops defending
Kansas is strategically strong, and commanding
a chain of small scouting parties is located so as TO
cover the Kansas border for seventy-ve miles east
and about fifty miles west of camp The Kansas
Southern Railway parallel with the border
line about thirty miles north OF Indian Territory.
Should the Indians strike east OF this camp,
military couriers would ride north to the
railroad and wire Commander Morrow, who holds
an engine under steam and cars at his
disposal night and day. and who has a telegraph
Office located in freight car in the camp, with di
rect wires to Kansas City and Fort Reno, where
Sheridan and Miles are in hourly communication
with him night and day. Colonel Morrow can
thus be advised of and anticipate any invasion
east OF camp, and move troops east by railroad SO
rs to get in front of the Indian advance, for should
the Indians strike north on the Dodge City trail,
or west of there, they must make long detection
northwest, and Colonel MOrrow's well equipped
moving inside the arch the Indians must describe
could Outtravel and crush the Indians ere they
got fairly off their reservation. They would be
surely crushed and annihilated should they strike
any way except west, and there it is not thought
they would go. The Cheyennes number,
o ofeeTs here, ies s tRan 1000 warriors
More than that many soldiers are mt thisi camp
alone, or. will be by sunday, who practically
sleep on their arms. Colonel Morrow says that il
is very rare that large United States force is
assembled in one camp. The Cheyennes appear
to be so hemmed IN tonight that an INVASION IN a

the Cheyennes entire warrior force.
The Times Fort Reno special says: Nothing OF
special interest has developed here. General
Sheridan talked with number of Indians, in
Guiding Stone Cakf one of the leading dissatisfied
chiefs. They are divided on the question of the
lease to cattle men. The Indians appear to realize
that If the Government undertakes to disarm
them they must submit, and all danger OF out

UNIQUE AND HORRIBLE
The Murder Of Miss Grace Rand and Supposed
Suicide.
Her Throat Cut From Ear to Ear When
Sleeping by the Side of Her Sister
Her BrOther-in-Law the Sup
posed Criminal.

CHICAGO, July 1.-THE Inter-Ocean's FL
dora, Iowa, special says: Buckeye Town
ship, in this county, is all agog with excite
ment in consequence of a unique and horri-
bic tragedy enacted last night at a farm
house four miles from that place. Miss
Grace Rand, "a beautiful girl of nineteen years,
was a member of the family of George
johnson, a farmer, whose wife was her
sister. The ladies customarily occupied
the same bed in the second story of the
house, while Johnson and hired man slept
together down stairs. Last night the family
retired as usual-Mrs johnson with her sis
ter, and the two men in room on the first
floor. Miss Rand fell asleep quickly, and
Just as Mrs. Johnson had nearly lost con-
sciOusness she was aroused by some
one approaching the bed. 1t was
bed, kissed her affectionately. babe her good
night, and left the room. Immediately her
husband had gone Mrs. JOhnson's attention
was attracted by the strange movements made
by her sister. Putting her hand on the girls
face she was terror stricken to feel blood
gushing from her sisters throat.
A moment later the girl. in the agony of
death, rolled from the bed to the floor.
Mrs. Johnson struck light and discovered
the girl lying dead, her throat cut from ear
TO ear. The hired man came in answer to
her screams and instantly started TO alarm
the neighbors. When the nearest arrived
Johnson, too was found dying near the
door, with broad cash in his throat and
bloody razor lying beside him. As
the Coroner's investigations have only
Just begun, no theory has been brought to
light in opposition to the one generally
held, namely: That Johnson, who had
violently opposed her approaching marriage
TO young man of the neighborhood, loved
his sister-in-law, and in fit of insane ieal-
ousy murdered her and took his own life."

REVIEW OF THE BRITISH GRAIN TRADE.
IoNDoN, July 20.-The Mark Lane Express, in its
review OF the British grain trade during the past
week. says: In the earlier part of the week there
were heavy storms in many districts while in
others there was scarcely shower. Since Wednes-
day the weather has been generally unsettled.
Small-eared wheats becoming a distinctive
feature of the seasons crop. The appearance of
rust about some of the stoutest wheats is attract
ing attention. The outlook does not improve
July goes by. The sales of English wheat for
the week were So S26 quarters at 35s lid, against
81 020 quarters at 37s Id during the corresponding
week last year Foreign wheat is unaltered. Sell

no improvement to-day. For wheat values were
