Another of Commissioner Sparks
Rulings.

CHICAGO, Feb. "a Huron, Dakota,
Inter Oceaa special says; The commits
sioncr of the general land Office made q
startling discovery that an Indian title to
about TO- 900 acres of land in north
Dakota had not been extinguished, de-
spite Secretary Teller's order in October,
1884, opening these lands and their sub
sequent settlement by the inhabitants of
what may comprise fourteen or fifteen
counties, most of which are organized and
contain 10000 people. The facts as re-
cited by Commissioner Sparks in a letter
to the surveyor general of Dakota show
that the Pembina Chippewas made a
treaty with the United States ceding the
Red river valley counties in Minnesota,
and the country lying west and north of
Devils Lake still belongs to the Indians;
but most of the Pembina Chippewas
went on the new reservation, and a Mink
Turtle Mountain band of only $50 Indi-
ans took up homes in the disputed dis
trict and claimed to be the owners of this
farm OF 10, 1000 600 acres. The land Off
GERS in Dakota were notified that no sur
veys would be sanctioned in said district.
Two years afterwards Secretary Of the
Interior Teller reviewed the case and de-
cided that the Indian claim was not well
grounded, and in 1882 this tract was
thrown open to settlement. Commissioner
Sparks states that, in view OF these facts,
and on the presumption that the question
will be submitted to congress, he has de-
cided to suspend all surveying contracts
in this district indefinitely. Portions of
the Grand Forks and Bismarck land dis
tricts are also affected by this order.

A Beaten Mans Rovenge.

FoRr WAYNE, Ind, Feb. s. John
Gachatte, a young mar of this place, was
shot and killed about a mile south of this
place late last night while engaged in a
fight with Thomas Fullerton. Fullerton
was with a party on foot when Gaehatte's
party passed them in a sleigh. Fullerton
in a spirit of fun threw a whisky bottle in
the sleigh. 1t struck Gachalte in the
face. He Jumped out and told the crowd
that he could whip the man who threw
the bottle. Fullerton told Gachatte he
was the man that threw the bottle, and
both men at once commenced fighting.
GaGhatte proved too much for Fullerton,
and was giving him a terrible beating,
when he reached in his overcoat and fired
through the pocket. the ball entering
Gachatte's abdomen and inficting such
injuries that he died before they could get
him home in the sleigh. Fullerton was
arrested at once, and is now in jail He
admits that he did the shooting, but
claims that it was done in self defense.
DR.. LIneville, who examined Fullerton
injuries, says he was drcadiully beaten
about the head.

The Report Of the Mexican
Officer
Who Attacked Capt. Craw-
ford's Command.
Decisive Opinion Expressed by
the Tucson Star"
The Mexican omcer's Report.

The Mexican Officers Report.
FL PAso, Tex. Feb. 3.-The report Of
the commanding officer of the Mexicans
who attacked Crawford's command, has
been published in the Estddo de Chi
hudhud newspaper which reached here
to-day. 1t states that on the llth of
January the Mexicans combatted a great
number of tame and wild Indians, proba-
bly, over 200. led by foreign United States
officers and over twenty sol1iers. -Four
Mexicans arc reported killed and four
wounded. The report also states that
they displayed not a sign of legality as
was evinced as much by their strategy as
by the animals which they had and which
| held, to prove they were stolen. The re
port is dated from Dolores mining camp,
Jan. 20, and signed Santa Anna, Perez.
1t is believed the animals referred to in
the report are those captured from the
Indians, which the latter had probably
stolen.

A Young Burglars Work.

AURORA, Ill, Feb. "a terrible shoot
ing affray took place last night about s
O'Clock. A boy by the name of Charles
NJ. Ross, son of G.. NJ. Ross, broke into a
store on Clark street belonging to Clifford
Stevens. The store had been burglarized
several times, and the proprietor, who
was on the watch, heard a noise, entered
the store, and arrested the boy. While
on the way to the Bridewell, at the corner
of Fox and LaSalle streets, Ross drew a
22-calibre revolver and fired three shots.
One missed, one made a slight wound on
his own leg, and one entered the side of
Mr.. Stevens and disabled him. Mr.. Ste
vens was taken to his residence, where he
died at $3.50 o'clock this morning. The
deceased was about 2G years old, was
highly respected, and leaves a wife and
two children. The boy is a son of Chas.
NJ. Ross, formerly OF the Beacon, and the
has always been held in the highest
He is about II years old. There
is much sorrow over the affair and some
excitement, and to avoid any posi-
bic danger Marshal Zimmers took the
prisoner to Geneva on the noon train to
day.

New YoRK. Feb. AT 6;30 o'clock
this evening the tug boat Blanche Kate,
while towing a railroad float up the North
river, ran into a row boat attached to the
Austrian corvette Donan, lying at the foot
of West Twcnty-sixth street. The row
boat was under command of Midshipman
Karsch and contained eleven men. The
midshipman and four of the sailors are
missing. Five were rescued by the tug
and two Others were taken from the river
by the tug boat Garrett. The rescued
men were placed on board of the corvette
and the river police arrested Capt Hubert
| Of the Blanche Kate.
Capt Huber, ofthe tug Blanche Kate,
who is considered a trustworthy and re-
liable man, says he was towing up stream
at food tide during the storm, which rem
dered il impossible to SEQ any distance
ahead, and sounds were muiled by the
same cause. He did not see tho boat load

EXPLODED.
Terrific Explosion of a Powder
House in New York.
Striking Miners in the Coke
Region Evicted.
Breach of Promise Case for
100000 Damages.
Powder Explosion.

New York, Feb. AT 2:20 this
morning the powder house of Stanley,
Tarril 4 Co, exploded at shaft No. 30,
of the new aqueduct on the Fordham
Landing road, shattering the boarding
shanty and severely i%niuring two men.
Michael McGinnis, who was in charge Of
the powder house, is missing; cause of the
explosion unknown. The shock was felt
for a radius of many miles in all direc-
tons, and damaging the surrounding
neighborhood heavily.
There was in the shanty $50 pounds of
what is known as %"lorcit. The building
was blown into fragments, it being diff
cult to find a piece of it as much as a foot
long. Fragments of stone were found
700 feet away. Three boarding shanties
at some distance away, in which about
forty laborers, mostly negroes and Italians,
were sleeping, were wrecked and the occu-
pants unceremoniously tumbled out of
their beds. Nothing except the aimsy
character of the structures saved n serious
loss OF life. Only one person was serious
ly hurt McGinnis has not been seen
since, nor has the least trace of his re.
mains been discovered. 1t is not believed
that he could have been so utterly annihi-
lated that not even a blood stain could be
discovered, and it is therefore suspected
that he was unhurt, and fearing he would
be held responsible for the calamity ran
away. Ranged at a distance of a mile or
a mile and a half from the scene of the
explosion are many beautiful and costly
residences, including those. of ex-Mayor
Edison and II. b. Claflin. All of them
more or less severely felt the shock.
Panes of glass weic broken, crockery was
ratified, pictures were thrown from the
walls, and, in some instances, persons
were thrown from their beds. The gen
cral impression for miles around was that
of an earthquake. 1t was ielt all over
Long Island and the shock was much
more severe than that of the Hell Gate
explosion.

CoNNELLsvHLE, Feb. 3.-Twenty of
the striking miners Of the coke region
were evicted from the houses of the COM
panies to-day, as their tenure was under
ironclad leases. A furious snowstorm was
raging at the time. They were not com
PEELED to remain out in the cold, however,
being taken in by those who were not
evictod. The condition of n few of the
evicted families is pitiful, but in the main
they are well provided for, having been
thrifty and laid by considerable money.
So far the sheriffs of Westmorcland and
Fayette counties and their deputies have
met with no opposition. The eyictions
thus far have been confined to the leaders
of the strike, a few being singled out from
each of the leading works. The evictions
will become general tomorrow. The ope-
rators claim hat the backbone of the
strike is broken, and that before the evic-
tons become general the men will submit
and return to work.

crawford's Murder Premoditated.

Tucson, A. T., Feb. with refer
ence to the recent killing OF Capt. Craw-
ford by Mexican troops, the Star says:
1t can be shown to the satisfaction of any
congressional commissioner that trade has
been constantly kept up by Mexieans
with hostile Apaches, while every OBJ
stacle has been put in the path Of Ameri-
can commands sent into Mexico in pur-
suit of the renegades, and whenever pos
sible officers were arrested and thrown
into prison; among these were Lieut..
Mcdonald, of the 4th cavalry, and Lieut..
Elliott, of the 10th cavalry. They were
kept under a guard until the approach of
large forces OF American troops and
frightened the Mexicans into liberating
them. From most reliable information
there is not the least doubt but that the
murder of Capt. Crawford was premedi-
tated.
