An Indian Outbreak ON the Skena River
Causes Great Excitement.

An Indian Outbreak ON the Skena River
Causes Great Excitement.
WINNIPEG, MANITOBA. July 23.-The Skena
river revolt continues to cause the greatest
excitement. The local militia is prepared
to start for the scene of the outbreak On
short notice. A messenger arrived at Halle
ton last night. He says that when he es-
capped the Indians were still laying seige to
Hudson's Bay fort, where all the white pop
ulation is gathered. The garrison, he says,
could not hold out much longer and he fears
the troops now on the way there will not ar
rive in time.
General Middleton, who commanded the
troops during the last rebellion, has again
been called upon to lead the troops in this
revolt. He has wired to the military author
tiles in British Columbia as follows: II can
put 5000 men on the cars in twenty four
hours en- route tor the scene" 1t is said
that the Indian tribes in that region are
pretty well divided against one another and
that probably some of them would side with
the whites against their enemies.
A short distance above the mouth of Skena
river lies Duncan island, where dwell the
furious and blood-thirsty band of Indians
known as the Metolekahita tribe, who gave
SO much trouble to the government few
years ago, bnt afterward fled to some point
in Alaska. This tribe has signified its Will
,ngness to join the rebels and is reported on
its way to HaZeton. That the rebellion is
much more serious than that of two years
ago, is expected by those who know the
character of the redskins now on the war
path. Orders were received from Ottawa
last night, where it is said the most alarm
ing intelligence has been received. The
government battalion, which was first at the
front at the last rebellion, is notified to hold
itself in readiness. The greatest excitement
prevails here

Whisky Men VS.. Prohibitionists.

slLoU1svILLE. July 23.-There ia bitter
iight in Itogress over the whisky question
at Harlan court house. Kentucky, which
bids fair to end in bloodshed County
Judge Lewis claims that great deal Of
whisky is being sold in town, ir spite Of the
local prohibition law. Several grocers were
tried a few days ago on charge
but ho proof was produced. The arrests
angered the accused and as Judge Lewis
rode out of town at evening he barely es-
capped being shot by John Farley, and then
Lewis rode back into town aud assembling
opponents of the traffic, proceeded to search
the stores of John Blair. Howard and others
that were suspected. They found liquor in
several of the stores, and rolled
the barrels into the streets
and emptied the contents on
ground. This was done under a guard of
twenty men with wholesalers. Yesterday
the whiskey men rallied, and several hun
dred shots were fired, but no ona was killed.
Two were carried off badly wounded.
