BAD FOR DEBT COLLECTORS.
New Postal Regulations Which Are
Not to Be Tritied With.

The new postoffice regulations will be a
severe blow to the Chicago method for
collecting bad debts. For some time past
frequent complaints have been made
regarding toat n ode of conducting business.
The Postmaster General has sent out new
rule, containing the following, which aims
at open duns sent through the mails: ANY
postal card or other matter upon the en-
velope or outside cover of which appears
anything which reflects injuriously upon
the person addressed, or anyone else, or
upon his character or conduct, or is plainly
calculated and intended to injure his feel
ings or reputation, or bring HIM into dis
credit, or which threatens him, will be ex-
cluded Anything in the nature of an often
sive or threatening dun apparent upon an
envelope, outsiae cover or postal card, or
conveying the suggestion that such dun is
inclosed, will be excluded as non-mailable
under this act.n The law makes the mer-
chant creditor who reaches his debtor in
this way party to the misdemeanor Of the
agency, and equally liable to fine aud
imprisonment,

Until this matter has been thoroughly can
vassed and the result shown, the attention
of the citizens of Savannah is attracted not
only tic the campaign of NORWOOD and
GORDON, but also to the fine stock of Shoes,
and slippers kept by A. S. Cohen, at 1897
Broughton street. These combined facts
are such as to continually keep the minds of
our people in political stir.

Footboard Fifty Years ago.
H. C. Raworth of Aiken, S. c., was mem
toned in the MORNING News day or two
ago as the Oldest locomotive engineer in the
United States. The NeWs aud Courier has
written some very interesting sketches of
him. Mr. Raworth is n years old. He is
still hale and hearty, and only three years

CROW WING KILLED.
WOLF MOCCAsIN MURDERED HIM
NEAR BADGER CREEK ON
55..l@ nm" MONDAY,
Indian Police Pursuing the Murderer =
Prospects that He May be Captured
in Canada or Elsewhere
a The Cause of the Crime -.
Unknown.

Fort BENTON, July 18.-From Major
M. D. Baldwin, agent at the Blackfoot
agency, the River Press learns of the first
serious crime that has taken place at tile
Blackfoot agency in two years. All that
is known Of the affair at present is that a
Plegan Indian, known by the name Of
Wolf Moccasin, about o'clock a. m., last
Monday, rode by the camp Of another
member Of the tribe, known as Grow
Wing, on Badger creek, about mile from
the agency, and it is supposed shot Grow
Wing, killing him almost instantly. The
murdered Indian was shortly afterward
found lying in front Of his tepee, dead,
with bullet wound in the back Of his
neck The alarm was quickly given at
the agency, and by 8 p. m. Major Baldwin
had his Indian police IN pursuit Of the
murderer, who 1t is supposed made for
the Canadian line. At the time Major
Baldwin left, Wolf Moccasin had not been
brought in, but strong hopes are enter
tanned that he will be captured. fhe gets
across the line he will be extradited by
the United States authorities and will be
tried Just the same as If he were a white
man. No cause is known why the act
should have been committed. Itwas not
known that the Indians had had any
quarrel; on the other hand they were
supposed to be great friends.

Patterson trial today the most Of the

Patterson in his speech to the jury. The
first witness for the territory, Mr.. Stur-
mum, was put on the stand at II o'clock
and testified as to having found the skel-
eton Of the supposed murdered man. The
next witness was Henry Chase. His tes-
timony was principally of descriptive
character as to the place where the body
was found, and explaining to the jury the
map that hangs on the wall ythe judges
bench. Mr.. Chase, it will be remembered,
made the survey and map some time pre-
vlous to Patterson's first trial. Already
considerable interest seems to be dis
played in this remarkable trial The
court room last evening was crowed and
today comfortably filled. Seemingly one
of the coolest persons in the court room
is the prisoner. He very seldom takes
his eyes off a witness and pays strict at
tention to all that is said. Now and then
he will whisper few words to his coun-

A Chicago Sensation.

CHICAGO, July 1S.-Another sensation
was sprung upon the defense in the dyn-
amite case today. John Wilson, one OF
the prisoners who was arrested with
Broderick and Bowles as an anarchist
and conspirator and as a brotherhood en-
gineer, coolly left his seat in the group
of which Broderick and Banereisn we're
members and walked over to the side OF
the room where the prosecuting attorney
sat- Wilson took chair beside Mr.
Dawes, attorney for the Burlington COM
pany, and began to chat in a friendly
manner. Then it was developed that
Wilson was not an engineer nor brother
hood man and not even Wilson. His
name is John Mulligan and he is Pink
erton detective. 1t appears that he has
had the confidence of all the prisoners
and their attorneys.

Public Regard for the late James Currie.
A Large Funeral.
James Currie, who was accident
ally drowned while boating in the
Missouri was we'll known and much es-
esteemed in this city. He came here
we'll equipped for business and by his
honorable conduct and generous DISPOSE
tion he made many steadfast friends
among those who had dealings with him.
The public regard for him was shown
by the large attendance at the funeral
Sunday, when his remains were taken
after funeral service to Sand Coulee cem-
etery. Out of respect for his brother,
who is member of the order Of Odd
Fellows, the lodge turned out in large
number and swelled the long procession
which wended Its way to the cemetery.
Much sympathy is expressed for both
brothers, who attended the funeral and
did all that was possible to show their
respect for him who had been cut off in the
prime Of life.
Dan Ledgerwood and other intimate
friends of James Currie especially mourn
his untimely death and were most assidu
GUS in showing their deep regard fol
| him.

ma excursionists back on Thursday and de-
scribes the trip as very pleasant. The en-
gine backed the train thirty-nine miles
without the least trouble. Where the
track is surfaced the train runs over il
perfectly smoothly, owing to the heavy
rail used and the perfection of the road
bed,
