RUNAWAY ACCIDENT. Mr.. and Mrs.
Levi Garner, living mile and half
baond the Stone mill on the Mt Hope
road, last Thursday afternoon met with
unfortunate accidents. Mr.. Garner was
working in the field, and his wife with
their little boy was in the wagon. The
horses for some reason became unman-
ageable and the lines became entangled
over the tongue in such a way that Mrs.
Garner was unable to control them, so
she took the little boy and let him safely
down to the ground over the wheels,
and while jumping out herself broke her
right ankle Mr.. Garner, who was not
far off, came to the rescue, seized the
reins, and in trying to control the ami
mails was thrown to the ground, fractur-
ing his left elbow. Dir. Barber was called
to attend to their injuries and they are
now doing well.

SAN ANTONIO, TEX, June Capt. W.
L. Smith of san Antonio has Just received
a lopg letter from his nephew in charge
OF the Smith cattle ranch, near Lords
burg, N NJ, in which he says that large
body Of hostile Indians passed within
nine miles Of the ranch on the fist, going
north, and that they had murdered thirty
five white persons, including women and
children, in that section of the territory
during the past two weeks. A portion Of
these Indians wstered their stock at one
of the ranch wells, but did not commit
any depredations. The whole country is
in state of terror, ranchmen expecting
momentarlly to be slaughtered or burned
at the stake by the blood.thirsty red
devils. The same writer declares that
thus far the United States troops have
done very little to restore peace and
quietness, but on the other hand seem to
have allowed the Indians to do very much
as they please.
The most interesting portion Of the let
ter for Capt. Smith was news that the
drought had ended in New Mexico and
good rains had fallen.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE report OF
the committee on Indian affairs on It's In
vcstjgatiOn OF the condition Of the Indian
Territory and other reservations was sub
mlttod TO the senate 10 day. Touching
the claims OF the Creeks and Semmoles
In Oklahoma and the preienso OF right 81
entry upon these lands by bands OF colo
nlsts, the committee says the United
States has no right to dispose Of the own
ership of the soil IN that tract without fur
ther agreement with those tribes, except
for the purpose OF settling with friendly
Indians upon these lands and duty Of
preventing any intrusion upon these
lands, which is distinct treaty obllga-
tion, il only increased by the trust which
we have accepted 20 settle friendly In
dams there. Regarding the leases OF
lands for grazing purposes made by yarl-
GUS tribes, the report says that the de.
clsion Of the president that all such
leases were OF no effect In law
has left the subject to de-
pend on question OF law rather than
Of fact, as to which the committee II not
required 10 express its Views. The five
civilized tribes, the committee says, are
consplcuously In advance Of all other
North American Indians IN every respect,
and the wilder tribes can be brought up
to the same standard by the influences OF
education and religion. The committee
gives brief statement Of the form Of
government Of the various tribes, from
the pottawatOmies 10 the Cherokee 4, and
Of the latter says that II is modelled
upon the plan OF our state governments,
and has DEVELOPED into high
type OF republican government, and that II
IL difficult after q searching criticism

constitution or statutes, In some re-
sptcts several OF our state constitutions
