TERROR AND ANGUISH
Mark the Progress of an Awful Case of
Rables-Doath of the Victim.

Rnbies-Denth OF the Victim.
ST. LOUIS, July 29.-Lena Leighter, q
German woman, aged 40 years, residing
in Brooklyn, ILL.,, was severely bitten by
large Newfoundland dog about two
months ago. The dog attacked the wo'
man unnoticed and threw her to the
ground. He lacerated her face almost
beyond recognition, Her outcries at
tracted the attention ofseveral neighbors,
who came to her assistance, and with
clubs, pitchforks and other weapons,
after desperate struggle, succeeded in
driving the ferocious brute away. The
woman was picked up and carried into
her residence, where medical aid was
summoned.
The dog in the mean time had pro-
ceeded in the direction OF the National
Stock Yards, swapping and biting at
every thing he came in contact with.
When about quarter OF mile from
the National Stock Yards lie was con-
fronted by colored man, who was go
ing the opposite direction. The dog at,;
tucked him and severely bit him several
times. The colored man freed himself
from the dogs clutches and took refuge
in tree. The ferocious brute then con-
tinued his journey, biting several cows
that were IN his path. A large band Of
colored citizens OF the little burgh, who
had followed the brute, riddled him with
bullets.
The woman until Friday appeared to
be all right, the wounds inflicted by the
dog having healed. Early yesterday
morning she displayed symptoms OF an
unusual character, and whenever she
glanced at water would bark and foam
ut the mouth the bark resembling that
of dog. Her family became alarmed at
her condition and quickly sent for u
physician. He pronounced it a severe
case Of hydrophobia. He administered
the necessary rcstOratives, and held
a consultation with several other ply
siCians.
The woman suffered the most agOn-
izing pain, and the least sight OF water
WAS sufficient TO throw her into convul'
siOns, which were horrible TO witness.
The physicians in attendance never left
her bedside, and beside her presence the
services Of several gentlemen were re-
Quired to guard her, SO frightful were
her paroxysms. The doctors were unani-
nous in pronouncing it one OF the worst
cases Of the dreaded disease they had
ever witnessed.
1t soon became evident that proper at
tention could not be given to the patient
Mt her own home, and for her own safety
and with view to her possible recovery
it was decided to remove her to st. Vim
cents Hospital in this city. Arrange
ments for the transfer and for the safety
of the attendants were soon completed,
but the strain and suffering had been
too great and the unfortunate lady ex-
pired before the institution was reached.
The dog was the property OF a coIored
man named David Smith, ncighbor OF

a Slick Young Man.

CHICAGO, July 29.-The police have
succeeded in capturing a sixteen.year
old robber, whose achievements in the
horse stealing line are unparalleled in
this part of the country. His name he
gives as Edward Brown, and lie GLAZING
to have come here from Kendall county,
Texas. Brown came in with car load
of Texas ponies, and when his friends
had sold their stock and returned home,
he formed the acquaintance OF Charles
Crane, also lailing from Texas. Brown
soon proposed that they so into the horse
stealing business on large scale, being
convinced that it would be very proiita-
bic. A business partnership was formed
between the two Texans and barn
rented in the west side of this city that
would hold about twenty horses. Night
ly f0rages for horses began and were sue
cessful. The boys hired five men us
grOoms, bought hay by the ton and oats
by the cur load. In less than twenty
four hours after they started in business
they had stolen five horses and sold
three OF them for liberal price.
The boldness OF the plans were re-
rnarkable. They would hitch two stolen
horses to n stolen carriage and drive
along Michigan avenue until they saw
u team Which suited them. To see n
good horse meant ownership for them,
for they would follow it home, and in all
probability secure it that night. They
stole them from Hyde Park, Grand
Crossing, South Chicago, Englewoodand
other suburbs west and south. The
stable became full Of valuable horses,
and citizens began to frequent the stables
for the purpose Of buying stock. The
business prospered exceedingly and the
cowboys blossomed out in radiant raj
lnent.
July 12, however, was a fatal day for
the adventures. They stole horse and
buggy from North Side citizen and
drove TO Il blacksmith shop near by to
have some slight repairs made. While
waiting one OF them stole the black
smiths watch, aud was accused OF it,
Both drew revolyers and compelled the
DHtChbulllu W uIulSHlHS lu thu SH"ES'
As soon us the boys had left the black
smith complained at the I.akeview police
station, giving good description OF the
bandits. A detective was detailed on
the case. He was about to give up the
search in the early part OF last week
when suddenly he saw the boys driving
west on Washington boulevard. He Sc
cured horse, followed them to their
barn and shadowed the place for three
or four days, as he could not believe that
they alone could have been guilty of
such n gigantic scheme OF horse stealing
us was before his eyes.
Crane became suspicious and fed, hut
Brown was arrested. On his person was
found $400 in cash. Twenty-Five horses
and eighteen stolen vehicles have al
ready turned up, and more are coming
in every day. The horses are uniformly
fine and the vehicles range from u dog.
cart to four-in-hand. Brown confessed
everything to Capt. Niiiiers. Tho stolen
property is being restored to the proper
owners us fast as it can be secured aud

Unpleasant.
CiSciHNATi, July 29.-Joseph Nicder-
man, keeper of a grocery at the south
west corner OF Poplar and Freeman
avenue, is mourning the loss OF wife
and $500 OF his good money. She left
him last Thursday night with the wife
OF brass moulder named Batter. who
resided in the rear OF the same house.
The whereabouts Of the couple are not
known.
Niederman had q few hundred dollars
and his wife induced him to buy the
grocery. Business was not very success
ful, and the husband often took his wife
to task for inducing him to invest his
money so foolishIy.
He always blamed her and made
things decidedly uncomfortable ut home.
Thursday night when the Anderson
Harris fire was in progress, Neiderman
went to see it, leaving his wife and four
children Mt home. He returned in half
an hour and found his wife gone. On
the table was u letter addressed TO him
in his wife's handwriting. 1t simply
said she was tired OF so much domestic
trouble, and decided to leave the city.
II, however, he promised TO treat her
better in the future, she said, she would
consent to return. She said that out OF
q roll Of $500 she extracted $500, the
amount she thought necessary to carry
her through. She added n postscript
saying that MS Mrs. Batter was tired Of
living with her husband, she, too, de-
cided to go. When Batter returned
home that night, he found his wife was
missing. Early in the evening she
packed up lot Of clothes, saying she was
going to the dressmaker.
She went out, and did not return.
She left aninG-ycar-oldboy, who, singu-
iarly enough, in addition to losing his
mother, fell from wagon yesterday and
broke his arm. Batter says he does not
want his wife back, but Niederman is
inconsolable over his loss. He called
on Col. Deitsch yesterday to ask for help
TO compel her 10 return. Col. Deitsch
took Il description OF the woman, and
promised to try and locate her.

THE INDIANS ULTIMATUM.


They Decline to Sign the Treaty with the
Government.
ST. PAUL, MIMI, July 20.-A Standing
Rock Agency special says: The ultima
tum OF the Indians was given to the
Commissioners yesterday. The Indians
were in council aii Thursday, and there
were many speeches, every Indian gave
his assent to a proposition not to sign
the treaty, John Grass was chosen to
present the ultimatum to the Commis.
sion, assisted by Gall and other chiefs.
Grass referred to former treaties broken
by the whites, and spoke about the
Black Hills treaty. Chairman Pratt had
said that their lands would not be
taken except by consent OF three.quar-
ters OF the Indians. This was a pfovi-
sion OF the other treaty; how then did
the whites take the Black Hills, when
they only got about three hundred In
dians to sign? The Indians were fools
then MS they always have been in max
ing treaties, and we hope We and our
children will go slow and not be fools
hereafter. You move other Indian
tribes amongus Off of the land given the
whites.
After Grass had spoken Gall was call
ed but simply affirmed aii that had been
done and said. Chairman Pratt told
Grass that he had nc more right to speak
than any other Indian. This remark
was resented by nm Indian grunt all
around, and Grass said he had the same
right to speak for the Indians who had
chosen him rs Pratt had been for the
whites. at pratts request the Indians
finally agreed to stay until Monday, but
said their minds were not like those OF
children and that they would not sign
then. Governor Church aud Auditor
Ward will be down from Bismarck to
Mondays conference. There is little
prospect, however, of change in senti-

LONDON, July 29.-The German En-

about, is not the only monarch travelling
about Just now. The King OF Greece is
on his way TO st. Petersburg travelling
incog, and the unhappy Queen Of Scrvia
still continues to wander about Europe.
An observing American correspondent
telegraphs me something concerning her
to-day from the Hague, where both are
stopping at the Hotel des Indies. Seen
through American eyes, Queen Natalie,
though an attractive enough woman, is
not the beauty we have heard about
She is fat and chunky, says your candid
correspondent, very dark with faint
line OF Jet black on her upper lip. She
seems not in the least heart-broken over
the loss OF her son, but enjoys herselfall
day long and certainly must sleep well,
as she goes to bed at $3.50 at night and
gets up at the same hour in the morning.
She arrived at The Hague wearing her
hair in q crinkly mass down her back,
but now has 1t done up in knot, which
looks better. OF all the official people
at Hague, no one has been to see her
thus far but the Russian Ambassador.
The court Is away. Her Majesty in.

Dutch watering place with an unpro-
nouncable name near The Hague, but
has not been able TO find quarters to
suit her, and will probably go on living
