F0R rBEG. 4 N. RELIEF FUND.
An Entertainment At the Lancaster Rink That
Was Largely Attended.

Was Largely Attended.
On Thursday evening an entertainment
was given in the Lancaster rink for the ben
eft Of the relief fund OF George II. Thomas
Post, Grand Army Of the Republic. Pre-
yious to the enter tainment the members of
the Post marched from their hall, in Centre
Square, TO the armory of the Reynolds rifles,
on East King street, and escorted the militia
to the rink. The performance began at
o'clock and by that time a very large
audience WAS present. The first part of the
show opened with medley by an orchestra
composed of well-known young musicians,
of the city. Mai. a. q. ReiuoAhl followed this
with a short address of welcome in which he
spoke of the good cause Tor which the enter
tainment was given, and thanked those pres
ent for their generous patronage.
The Garden City trio, composed of Messrs.
Hambright, Dreppard and Erisman, sang
several good selections Prot. Mohn gave
some sleight OF hand tricks and he was fol-
lowed by "Reilly, the Fiddler" The act of
this man was big feature of the show.
Reilly came to this city from Rswlinsville
few months ago and since then he has made
himself weil-known. He plays all the old
fashioned tunes on his fiddle, and although
he was well diguised last night, he was soon
recognized and his playing while sing
ing his original songs, stirred up the audi
ence. Miss Minnie Cogley gave a cornet
solo, In her usual pleasing style. She was
followed by the members of Company G, y.
n. g., of this city, who gave an exhibition
drill, under command of Captain Bowers
The young gentlemen did their work remark
ably well. Their movements were very cor
rect and they were greeted with thunders of
applause.
Part second opened with music by the or
chestra, and the Garden City trio followed
with several comic songs. Daniel Clemens,
jr., gave drum solo, and did ii well. Upon
being encored he and his drum corps played
Marching Through Georgia." and several
other old army pieces.
Tho entertainment closed with a dress pa
rade by the members OF the Grand Army and
Company G. The Grand Army men were
divided in two companies. One was under
command OF George w. Huffnagle, and the
other under Captain fl. X. Breneman. The
entertainment netted good round sum.

but the commissioners, and they should he

Am Indian Desperado,s Deed.

Fort SMITH. Ark. April 10.-Another
horrible Indian Territory murder was COM
mitted in the Cherokee nation yesterday.
Another officer was killed while on duty,
a deputy marshal of Smiths party, In
charge of posse that camped near Flat
Woods, twenty-five miles from Fort
Smith, in the Cherokee nation. At
o'clock yesterday afternoon the party
pitched tents and all left camp but
Henry Miller, guard, who was in charge
of Big Cheevey, Cherokee Indian desper-
ado, prisoner charged with introducing
and selling whisky in the Indian country.
Upon returning to camp at o'clock the
marshal's party found Miller dead with his
head crushed and bloody and an axe lying
beside him. Circumstances showed that
Miller was driving down tent pins and that
Big Cheevey stepped up behind him and
struck him with an axe and then escaped.
Cheevey was easily traced, and having
been recently wounded in a fight with
marshal, was unable to travel fast. About
one mile from the camp his hat was found
in the road, and when one of the party
picked it up he was fired upon from the
brush by Cheevey, but the bullet whistled
over his head. The desperate Indian was
covered with pistols and compelled to sur
render. He was brought in to-day and
placed IN the United States Jail. The dead
body of Miller was brought here for burial.
