Fight and Riot in Kansas.

A bloody fight, between one white miner
and an lnfurlated mob OF negroes in North
Leavenw ORTIZ occurred. AS James King
(white) cable man in Leavenworth coal
mine, was walking along the street he met
Harrison Young. a notorious colored ward
politician, Sam Headspath and Ben Eas-
ton, also colored.
King was accosted by Young and
Headspath, drew a knife and sprang to-
wards King. At this King drew s.
caliber revolver and fired two shots at
Young, who dropped dead with a bullet
through his forehead and a shot through
the heart. King then turned on Heads
path and shot him in the right groin, in
ficting fatal wound. He then shot Eas-
ton in the left thigh. The report that a
white man had killed three colored men
created intense excitement among the
negroes, and in a few moments
every direction carrying shotguns, rifles,
knives, reyoivers and clubs OF every de-
scription, all clamoring for revenge. King
at once started to run up the river bank
pursued by a constantly increasing mob OF
negroes yelling at the top OF their voices.
The mob fired six shots at King, who
gamely turned and returned the fire. In a
short time King, now pressed by his
wrathful pursuers, turned and sought ref

The negroes swarmed through the water

Gould and Bennett,

Jay Gould gave to the press OF New
York a copy OF an open letter which he
wrote to James Gordon Bennett, the pro.
prietor OF the New York Herald An edi.
torial which appeared in the Herald, and
which Mr.. Gould calls scream" appears
to have aroused Mr.. Gould's anger and the
letter which he gave out is full OF person.
alities. He begins his letter by reiterating
his former statement in relation to the
animus OF Mr.. Bennett and then descends to
personalities. He calls Mr.. Bennett a Eber-
tine and says his private life has been but
81 succession OF debauches and scandals.
Mr.. Gould asserts that not a gentleman in
New York would allow Mr.. Bennett to
cross the threshold OF his home.
Your very touch in the social circle is
communicating, says Mr.. Gould "a few
instances such as decency permits TO put
in print will suffice to illustrate and con-
firm what l have to say on this head"
Then Mr.. Gould relates certain alleged
happenings in the life OF Mr.. Bennett, OF
which the following is sample:
A few years ago while on one of your de-
launches the police came down on house
CT i'll fame in this city. You were among
the victims bagged. When you were ar
raigned past midnight at the police station
you screamed: Il am James Gordon Ben
nett. proprietor OF the New York Herald,
let me CO., Do you remember the simple
reply OF the faithful officer, who said: You
may be James Gordon Bennett. DRY oumay
be George Washington. The case will take
the usual course. Officer, lock the prisoner
up, and you went behind the bars In
the morning, when you sobered down and
came to a full realizat ton OF your situation,
you no longer screamed, II am James
Gordon Bennett, proprietor OF the New
York Herald, but you spent the whole
day in trying to get the newspa pers to sup
press the sickening story, and with very
good success.

Death of an American Onucast.

Fanny Lear died the other day IL
Europe, an outcast. The N. z. Her
aid tells this story OF what it calls her
romance:
Fanny Lear was the daughter OF
DIR. Ely, a protestant clergyman OF
connecticut. man of some distinc.
ton III science and letters. II she had
gone wrong early in life it was because
she had been left too much to hot
tempered, b1goted and narrow minded
mother, who had been taught the doc
trines ofpassive o bedience with q thick
stick. Her daughter, however, had
been well schooled and had learned
French, Latin and music.
cher romance in life was in connec-
ton with the Grand Duke Nicholas
Constantinovich, nephew Of the emper-
OF OF all the Russians, whom she met
at st. Petersburg. Her appearance
then must have been very fascinating.
from the following description:
cone night in the winter Of 1871
there was a masked ball at the Opera
house of st. Petersburg. Among the
company present was an American
girl of extraordinary beauty. She had
dark hair in great profusion, and an
imperial sort OF forehead, broad, open
and white as ivory. Her dark ewes
flashed under her loug lashes, like dia-
monds, and were all aglow with wit
and kindness. The nose was firm. vet
OF that delicate aquiline which denotes
resolution and courage. The mouth
was wondrously full and soft, the up
per lip small and formed liked a bow.
Her teeth were as living pearls, and
her complexion dazzingly fair. Little
feet, small hands, and taper fingers, a
figure such as afairy might such
is the description of the American
beauty who on that night stole the
heart OF the Grand Duke Nicholas OF
Russia.
ga sad story of his arrest on a
charge Of stealing iewelry, and subse.
quent Punishment to the Caucasus,
also caused the expulsion of Fanny
Lear from Russia. For some time
after Fanny Lear resided in France,
where she again got into trouble in the
following manner: About eleven years
ago book was published in Paris
which caused a, decided sensation. It
was called Re DOMAIN dune Ameri-
caine Ell Russie, and was written by
Miss Hattie Blackford, better known
as Fanny Lear Init the authoress,
aided by some hack writer on the
boulevards, related her amorous ad.
ventures with a person whom she de-
lighted to call the g. d. and whom
the Almanach de Gotha called the
Grand Duke Nicholas Constantine
vich, nethew Of the then reigning Car,
and for this the authoress was expell-
ed from Paris, and her low victoria
with Russian horses were seen no more
on the Bois."

Jay Gould's Early Life.
Gath" in The Cincinnati Enquirer


He Mr.. Could, was brought up on
the rough mountains near the head
waters of the Delaware in region
where cattle and horses are bred and
where some OF the leading spirits are
dealers in milk and makers of butter.
Gould had but little chance at school,
but he aspired toward education, and
he wrote the history of his native
county, a book for which I gave $40,
or five times at least the original price
OF the book, merely because Gould was
successful man and this book was
growing rare. He made maps of his
county and the adjacent counties, and
went out as a surveyor, a business re-
qulring some resources in a country of
rattlesnakes. He finally was led into
the tanning business, and he bought
an old piece of railroad as time pro-
ceeded, and sold it out to another
company to some advantage. It was
a natural progression from being a
surveyor and roadmaker to taking
hold OF some railroad property.

Cora and Chaska.

The marriage OF Miss Cora Belle Fellows
has finally occurred, and she is now the
lawful vile OF Chaska. the Indian. The
ceremony was performed by the Rev. Han
ford, an Episcopal missionary who halls
from Africa. Miss Fellows was anxious
that the marriage come off some weeks
ago, but the Rev. Hanford refused to Off
claue before announcing officially from the
pulpit three successive Sundays Chaska
is a low type OF an Indian with a. badly
peck ma rked face and far from handsome
lie has a small trace OF white blood but it
cannot be discovered. He is an ignorant
Santee, and when he visits Fort
Bennett it is well to look out, as
he has kleptomaniac tendencies. He
has passed many a day in the guard house
Since counting Cora, he has been a sort OF
dude, discarding part OF his Indian cos
tune. A few days before he left for the
brldes home he had military barber cut
his hair and wash out the red paint on the
scalp. 1t seems that Belle became infatu-
ated with Chaska while teaching at Fort
Bennett. She made him presents, and he
now wears a mammothg gold ring, engraved
Cora to Chaska." Other little messages
OF love passed between Them and a lady
friend OF Miss Fellows says she has adj
mired Chaska for a year. They would
go out walking every evening,
ana very often Miss Fellows has
kissed Chaska before the school
children. Chaska told companion, De.
welt, that Miss Fellows informed him OF
her love and suggested marriage, agreeing
that she would educate and work for him.
Dewett also says his youngest brother in.
formed him months ago that white girl
wanted to marry Chaska. 1t seems that
Miss Fellows conducted the courtship and
won Chaskas hand after hard work. Miss
Fellows, previous to coming to Dakota,
resided at Capitol HILL Washington, and
is highly related. She talks Sioux like a

Fort Bennett, was invited to the mar
rage. He says that Chaska is
worthless Indian. He draws RAJ
lions, and around the agency is known as
Sam Campbell He is Santee Indian
without character. Every body is surprised
that she married him after the urgent pro-
tests from Rev. Sunderland, President
Cleyeland's pastor, who sent her to Dako-
ia. The ceremony was conducted under
the Episcopal form. Chsska having an in

Another French Crisis.

The French chamber OF deputies. by q
vote OF 26S to 237, despite the opposition
OF thegovernment, voted for urgency for the
Extreme Left bill providing for the revision
OF the constitution. The government there
upon resigned. In the discussion several
Bonapartists declared that they would
support the demand for revision, in
so far as it was an appeal
to the people. Baudry d'Asson
(Royalist) said he would vote for the pro-
posal, hoping that it would tend to re-
store the legitimate monarchy, which
alone could save France. Brisson said he
was opposed to revision, and, abiding to
Gen. Boulanger, said that the satisfaction
which would be afforded by the adoption
OF the measure ought not to be given to q
person who has attacked the institutions
OF the country and talked OF purging the
chamber. Clemenceau favored revision,
saying that the constitution was not in
accordance with the principles OF Repub-
lican democracy. Minister Sarrien urged
the chamber to reject the demand, declar-
ing that it was essential that no new
cause OF troubles and difficulties be added
to those already existing. Pre-
mier Tirard declared that he
fully agreed with Sarrien. Ii
the chamber decided to consider the
urgency proposal the ministry would de.
cline all responsibility, as such action
would furnish 81 fresh argument in favor OF
the audacious manifesto issued by the dis
missed general. President Carnot has &C.
cepted the resignation OF The cabinet. The
ministers, however, will remain in off un-
til their successors are appointed. It is ex-
pected that Floquet will be summoned to
form cabinet. Ferry, Raynal, Ribot and
Rouvier met recently to concert a plan to
prevent the formation OF a cabinet under
Floquet. The Opportunists are eagerly
searching for locally popular candidate
to put up against Gen. Boulanger. Every
means will be resorted to in order to pre-.
vent tie generals election.

Lynching Bad Indians.

Some weeks ago a warrant for the ar.
rest OF two Kootenai Indians was sworn
out in the Justices court at Ashley, Mon
tana. The Indians were arrested and
placed in charge OF a deputy sheriff. Dur
ing the deputy's absence party OF citizens,
numbering fifty or sixty, overpowered the
guard, took the prisoners to the east side
OF the river, and, it is supposed, 'made
good Indians" OF them. The crime charged
against them was murder. 1t is alleged
that these Indians assisted a third Koo-
tenai in killing three prospectors on Wolf
Creek last june Two OF these men were
well along in years, and the third was
young man. After shooting them, it
is claimed they were beaten over the head
with six shooters until life was extinct
and their bodies were then burned It
is asserted by responsible men that
the above named Mood Indians"
confessed completely in the fearful crime
and made an open boast of their prowess
The booty received was Sc in money, a
scanty supply OF provisions and two
ponies. The ponies, it is claimed, are n ow
in the possession OF the fugitive Indians.
company OF fifty white men made
peaceful visit to Dayton Creek and had
talk with Chief Aenas, OF the Kootenais,
resulting, as claimed, in an agreement be-
tween the whites and Indians to bury the
hatchet, Chief Aenas agreeing to turn over
the fugitive Indian to the legal authority
