HORRIBLE OUTRAGE.

Two Indiana Women Whipped by the
White Caps-Three of the Latter Shot.
New ALBANY, Ind, July ga tragedy,
in which the White Caps figured, was en-
acted early Tuesday in secluded spot in
the neighborhood of Carnes' mill in Craw-
ford county. middle aged woman and
daughter about 10 years old live in that
neighborhood, and have fallen under The
displeasure of the notorious White Caps
of Crawford county, who charged that the
women were unchaste. On the night of
the 23d inst. about twenty five White Caps
rode to the Wiseman residence, took tine
mother and daughter out of bed, tied
them to trees and whipped Them unmerci-
fully with hickory swi ches The blood
followed each lick laid upon the bare
backs of the unfortunate women. Their
shrieks and cries for mercy were. disre-
garded by the savage torturers, and the
blows continued until both tainted. They
were then cut loose.
The White Gaps, after brief cousulta-
ton, overheard by three men in house
near that of the Wiseman woman, road
away. The White Caps agreed to go TO
| the house of Leslie Moreland, a reputable
citizen of the neighborhood, tell him
what they bad done and why they did it,
and order him to spread the news, this
being their custom. The three men who
overheard the agreement, took a shor er
out to Moreland's, told him what had
occurred, and secreted themselves in q
thicket in front of his residence. The
White Gaps soon appeared and called
Moreland, who came to the door
rifle in hand. The White Caps
| told their errand and ordered him TO
start at daylight and spread the news.
Moreland told them he was not that
kind of man and no such lawless gang
could bulldoze him. The White Caps told
him if he did not they would call again,
take him out and hang him, and com
meDced yelling and firing their revolvers
at the house. Moreland replied with his
rifle and at the same moment the three
men in ambush fred upon the gang.
This was more than the cowardly White
Gaps expected and with threats they gal
loped away, one of them, John Saunders,
leaving a bloody hat on the high
way, and two others being sup
ported in their fight by their companions
Three of the gang had been shot-two OF
them-Johu Sanders and Prior Gregory
supposed fatally. The name of the other
victim was not learned. Gregory is @
well known country merchant at West
Fork postofice, Crawford county. He has
a family of grown children and is about
80 years old. 1t is said he vii
die. He is in good cir
cumstBnces and has been highly respected
Sanders Is saloon keeper and a worth
less fellow. The affair has created in.
tense excitement, and determined effor
is being made by the citizens to find tn
place where the wounded men have beer
taken by their friends. The elder Wise
men woman will probably die from thu
whipping she received.

gineers, representatives of all roads en-
tering Chicago except the 20" and Rock
Island and Northwestern, have adopted
the following unanimously:
Resolved, That we heartily continue our
financial support of the Chicago, Bur-
lington and Quincy strikers; that we in
dorse the conservative management of
Chief Arthur; and that the committee be
instructed to have this resolution pub
lshed.
The committee said in addition: Our
boys are opposed to any boycott being
sprung against the 80" road. They be-
heve that if the strikers employ on'y
moderate measures the company will
soon be glad to take them back on rea-
sonsble terms. The best men on the road
are in Illinois and other lines of the
system. Wherever inferior men are
working so many acciden's occur that the
company will not much longer endure
their ignorance.

DOMESTIC.
Indians in the Northwest Op-
posed to a Treaty Opening
Up Their Reservation.
More Outrages by the White Caps
of Indiana-The Gang
Ambushed.

CHICAGO, July pa dispatch from
Standing Rock agency, Oak, says the
speech of Judge Wright, of Tennessee. in
presenting the proposition of the govern
ment with reference to opening the
reservation, occupied all the conference
with the Indians yesterday. A better
presentation could not have been made,
aud the Indians were noticeably pleased
with what was said. But it is apparent
the Indians are firm in their decision to
oppose treaty. Wednesday nights
council showed no change in their attti-
tude. The speeches of Mad Bear, Live
Bear, Cottonwood and other chiefs we're
strongly in opposition to treaty.
The sensation of the evening was caused
by Black Bull, chief who farms in Can
non Ball valley, who said he was willing to
sign. He was hissed from the circle, but
returned, and on the second attempt to
speak the Indians dispersed with express
sions Of contempt and disgust.
The Indians of the southern part of the
reservation are still holding council, at
which speeches are being made against a
treaty. The Indians and whites are still
awaiting the return of Sitting Bull. The
Indians say he was offended by the elec
tion of Gall as spokesman. he contest
f. oratorical honors was between Sitting
Bull and Gall.
To-day Chairman Pratt, of the commits
sion, will ex lain these portions of the
treaty not touched upon by Judge Wright,
and it may be that, In the afternoon, the
Indians will talk. As they are being fed
during the conference by the commits
sioners they are not exhibiting Impa-
tience. Rain-in the Face, one of the most
intelligent chiefs, said last evening that
he would not sign the t:eaty under any
circumstances.

Sheep and Shipments.
Special Telegram TO the Statesman.
BURNET, July 26.-It turns out that the
man killed by accident at Lone Grove,
Llano county, was not Barney Russell, but
William Tucker, son-in-law of Russell,
and travelling in the same party. Tucker
was sitting in chair, and had his shot
gun across his lap, cleaning and oilipg it,,
when the chair slipped and tilted over,
striking the hammer of the gun on the
floor or ground. The shot took effect
in the left breast, and caused his death in
less than fifteen minutes.
Eight hundred head of sheep we're ship
ped from this point to-day by Colonel
Wilburn, of this county.
The surveying party of the Austin and

ST. JOSEPH, July 25.-The meeting of
the Brotherhood was called to order at 10
o'clock this morning by Chairman p.
Mcdonald. The forenoon session was
spent in considering propositions looking
toward an adjustment of the difficulty
with the Burlington road. Propositions
are being submitted, and the prediction is
made that one of them will be adopted
this afternoon, though that is by no
means certain. Great pressure is
being brought to bear on
the hot heads by the more
conservative element to waive 81 and
cents mile schedule, and the classiA-
cation clause. Sargent left last night for
Chicago, where he claims TO have been
called by pressing business. 1t is certain
that neither Monaghan, Sargent, Wilkins,
or the heads OF the four great organiza-
tions will take part in the deliberations.
Hoge and Murphy we're expected here
this morning, but have not yet made their
appearance.

THE DYNAMITERS.
Large Quantity of Dynamite Found at

Large Quantity of Dynamite Found at
Pronek's House in Chicago.
CHICAGO, July 26.-It is stated that
since the arrest of Pronek, the would-be
assassin of Gary, Grinnell and Bonfield,
the police have made an important dis
covery by working upon the fears of
Pronek's wife. Surprisingly little dyna-
mite was found at Pronek's house at the
time of his arrest, his bulk of contraband
goods consisting of bombs in various
stages of completion. The police
we're convinced that he had access
to plenty of dynamite, and, when
the subject was pontedly presstd
to Mrs. Pronik, she led the way to the
basemens of the building in which Sevic's
shop is and to the delight of the officers,
who allowed herIto do the searching, re-
turned to the open air with a market
basket full of half pound sticks of the
stuff. There were fully ten pounds of II,
enough to have blown the whole neigh
borhood skyward. Ii is said the grand
jury shows that Sevic, as well as Pronik,
had known where the dynamite was con-
cealed.
