SANTA FE, n. NJ, Feb. 12.-Adviccs have
been received at the military headquarters here
from Fort Bowie, AriZ.. 10 the effect that Gen.
eral Crook leaves there to-day To meet Chief
Geronimo at the Mexican line and confer con-
corning the surrender of the Apaches now on

far kept the compact then entered into. The
hostiles are worn out and starved. Gen. Crook
will adopt more stringent measures than ever
30 keep the Apaches on the reservation. The

heads OF the families to the chiefs and sub
chiefs. The latter will be responsible 10 the
chiefs, and the chiefs directly accountable To the
agents for every adult in their band. The White
Mountain Apaches are now held In the inn
mediate vicinity of the agencies, where they
can be seen. Any Indian suspected OF prepar-
ing TO leave the reservation is put Into the
guard house and his horses and arms confis-
Gated. Gen. Crook thinks this system will pre-.
vent an outbreak in the spring.

Execution I'm Buffalo.
CHALES HERMANN HANGED FOR THE MURDER

BUFFALO, n. Y, Feb. 12.-Charles Hermann,
the wife murderer, was hanged at 1:43 tins
morning. The crime for which he was executed
was the murder of his wife, Eva Hermann, by
cutting her throat with a razor at their home,
No 23 Blossom alley, Buffalo, on the night OF
discovered until the third day after the crime
was committed, and on that afternoon Her
mann was arrested Soon after being taken
into custody he admitted that he cut his wife's
throat. He said that on the evening OF Sunday,
November 1, his wife told him she was going
out, but would not tell him where, and this SO
angered him that he threw her on the floor and
cut her throat. He then threw the body on the
bed and put guilt over IL, after which he went
out and got drunk. On his return he was adj
mitted by his landlady, Mrs. Lucy Nuenold,
and went straight to his bedroom and laid
down and slept on the bed beside his murdered
wife. He claims that he did not know his vile
was dead and he made no effort to ascertain,
but this is not believed, and il is thought that
the body remained on the floor until Monday
or Tuesday. That the murderer was at home
and occupied the room with the corpse on
Monday and Tuesday nights is confirmed by
the statement OF the landlady. Hermann was
indicted and placed on trial for the crime in
December. The jury on December % agreed,
after 20 hours deiiberation, on a verdict OF
murder in the first degree, and on December
81 Hermann was sentenced to be hanged

Grand Army Men Protest.
THEY OBJECT TO THE PANORAMIC EXHIBITION
ar~1rrvS

THEY OBJECT TO THE PANORAMIC EXHIBITION
OF THE BATTLE OF BULL RUN.
Some two weeks ago, at a regular meeting of
the Kit Carson post, Grand Army of the Re-
public, q resolution was offered condemning the
proposed exhibition In this city of panorama Of
the battle of Bull Run, as it would be calculated
to have bad influence upon the minds of the
rising generation in exhibiting one of
the most humiliating defeats suffered
by the Union army during the war;
After considerable discussion, in which
doubt was expressed as to whether the post had
any authority to adopt such resolution, the
entire matter was referred to a committee for
their consideration. This committee has not
has yet been taken. They will, however,
confer with, Capt. Andreas, who is in charge
of this work, and is now out ct the
city, and represent to him how
repugnant such an exhibition would be to the
feelings OF the people here.
Major Hopkins, who is the commander of the
Kit Carson post, In speaking of this matter to q
STAR reporter to-day, said that such q repre-
sentation was very inappropriate to the capital
of the nation. A nations victories in battle
were the proud heritage of succeeding genera
lions. but to dwell upon its defeats
to represent to the children the
humiliation Of their ancestors was q
spectacle that few nations would tolerate.
representation Of the battle of Waterloo In
Paris would not be allowed for one instant.
Besides, he thought now that the disposition
was not TO glOrify the confederate part in the
great civil contest, but TO pass it by as mis-
take and TO rejoice In united country.

A TERRIBLE OISAVENDETTA
several Families Decimated by q Feud
Extending Over Years.

ST. LOUIS, NO., Feb. 12-The recent arrest of
Tom Russell in Carbondale, jackson county,
Ills, has revived interest in the most bloody
vendetta ever fought in this country, which re-
suited in the almost complete determination OF
four powerful families. Russell is now held on
two indictments for murder in the first degree,
which have been pending ten years. Among
the prominent families of farmers living in the
western portion of Williamson county, ILL.,, in
1872, were the Russells, Bulliners, Hendersons
Cranes and Sisneys. There were several grown
sons and daughters in each family, and trouble
between two of these started the feud. Election

ners and one Russell We're wounded.
poused their cause, until a half dozen families
were involved on each side. In December
1873, sold man" George Bulliner was shot from
dale He died calling on his boys to avenge his
death: In March, 1874, while David Buliner,
one OF the boys, was returning from church
with woman in buggy, he was shot from a
hedge and killed and his companion danger
ously wounded. The families were opposed in
this wise: The Russells, Sisneys, DelmOres and
Hendersons against the BullIners, Hinchcliffes
and Rudds. The score at this point stood two to
nothing in favor of the Russells; The night of
the 18th Of May, while Joseph Henderson was
standing on his own doorstep he was shot and
killed and a man named Jacob Detmore
wounded Two days later Detmore was am
pushed and killed, thus tieing the score. Octo-
Der oath DIR. Vincent Hinchcli1fe was shot from
behind and killed. One month later Levidus
Rudd received a load Of buckshot I'm the side.
In January, 1874, q. w. Sisney was shot
but recovered. August 9th he was shot with
a rifle, but he again recovered. December II,
1874 he was at home. surrounded by his eight
children and a neighbor named James Hind
man, when 'crash" went the glass in the WIN
dow, and Sisney tell MORALLY wounded. Two
weeks later John Russell was killed on the
streets OF Marion, and the year of 1875 opened
with the Bulliners one ahead. The sheriff ap-
pealed to Gov. Beveridge for aid to stop the
vendetta. Warrants were sworn out against q
number of the members Of all the families con-
cerned. John Bulliner was sent up for Lille. Two
Hen0erSOnS
COyle and Crane families were sent to Joliet for
long terms. Another of the Cranes was hanged.
Tom Russell escaped, but returned a short time
ago and was arrested. Nearly all the witnesses
against him are dead. The families were nearly
decimated, and two graveyards were started in
the vicinity a result OF the feud.
