In the Assembly of the National League

the convention which was recently held in
New York, MIR. James P. Foster was elected
President OF that organization. Mr.. Eos.
ter was prominent in the movement which
led up to the recent convention. having in
deed originated the idea, and his address of
welcome to the delegates had made him
prominent candidate for the head of the
League. His unanimous election was the
outcome OF this feeling. This league prom
'ses to be q very important and influential
factor in the politics of the country. As it
is composed largely OF young men. and as
it represents the active and aggressive ele-
ment OF the party, it will give an impulse
to the coming national campaign, which
none OF the existing agencies could have
supplied. It's influence will at the same
time be decisively felt. The headquarters
OF the League will be established in New
York with a branch III Washington. Mr..
James P. Foster was born in New York in
1S4S and graduating from the university |
OF that city and the Columbia Law School, |
he continued his professional studies at
the University OF Berlin for four years. He |
was the first 4 american student ever grad |
uated from that honorable institution. |
Then he entered upon the practice of his |
profession in New York and is now the |
senior member of the firm OF Foster & Will |
son. He has been concerned in some nota- |
BILE cases. having become especially promi-
ment as the counsel Of Rev. John P. New.
man in the contention between that clergy
man and the Madison Avenue Congrega-
|ional Church. While faithful to his pro.
essionsl duties he has not neglected his
political duties as citizen. II 1880 he
became a menb r OF the Republican Club
of New York. He soon became one of it's
most active members and was elected Wee.
President in 1885, and in 1887 he was
chosen Preside in recognition OF his Ia.
'ors in behalf OF the club and his peculiar
itness for the position. There is no doubt

Horrible Torture Of an Aged squaw by

Horrible Torture Of an Aged Bquaw by
shoshons Bucks.
Cheyenne Sun: A horrible crime, and one
of the most diabolical ever committed in
Wy oming, occurred last week in the north
western portion ofthe Territory, not many
miles from Fort Washable, and on the Sho-
shone reservation. An Indian woman, who
was probably regarded a. a burden by tho
balance of her band, was unfortunate
enough to meet with an accident whereby
she sustained fracture of one OF her
limbs. The bucks, who appeared to have
getber and came to the conclusion that the
best thing to do with the poor old woman
was to
PUT HER TO DEATH.
In pursuance OF this plan. after divesting
her OF every garment that could protect
her from the cold, they drove stakes in the
ground aId tied her to them, and left her
to freeze to death. At the expiration OF
two days and nights both her arms were
frozen solid, but she was not dead. Con-
cluding that some more expeditions way
must be adopted, they gathered a lot OF
old blankets. piled them upon and around
her and set them on fire. The result of this
terrible torture was that her body was so
terribly burned that the inner organs were
left exposed. Then they let the fire go out
and
LEFT HER AGAIN TO FREEZE.
At the expiration OF twenty-four hours
death at last came to her relief. The af-
fair has been reported to the Indian agent,
and it would seem that if ever the perpe-
traitors ola horrible crime would be visited
with condign and relentless punishment
the actors in this horrible drama are the
ones; and if in melting out justice-ven-
yeance ought to be the word-to these bru.
tai hyenas in human form it becomes nec-
essary to impale every buck OF the Sho-
'hone Reservation on the bayonet, and
with the bloody hands that perpetrated
this deed chopped off, left hanging in mid
Air to howl out the remainder OF miser-
able existence. that has been naught but a
curse to the world-if this is necessary. it
should be done and done speedily.
