FIGHT WITH oYsTERMEN.
Two Vessels Sunk-Several Men Drowned
Victory for the State Outfit.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, December n.-There
has been an engagement between the
state steamer Governor McLane and a
fleet of oyster dredgers in Chester river.
Two dredgers' boats were sunk and an
other taken. One of the crew on the
steamer Governor McLane was wounded.
This is the first fight between the state
fishery force and the dredgers since the
steamers were provided with cannon.
Capt Howard telegraphs the fight was Sc
we're and the steamer riddled with balls
and has requested that help be sent at
once. The steamer Thomas, Capt. Took
er, was sent Immediately to his aid The
McLane carries twelve pound cannon.
The fight took place at the mouth of
Chester river. The secretary of state OF
Maryland has been notified from Wash
ington that six more cannon will be sent
Immediately. A steamer arrived this
morning reports seeing the two sunken
dredgers off He'll Point, with the sails rid
died by shot Further on, four more of
the dredgers' feet we're found ashore.
Forty rounds were fired from a cannon by
an expert gunner from the naval acad-
emy.
Last nights fight at the mouth of
Chester river may have resulted IN con
siderable loss of life, as Peter Mullen, a
cook on board the steamer julia A. Jones,
says he was the only man out Of crew OF
eleven to escape. The state vessels were
hotly attacked by the dredgers, who were
heavily armed with repeating rifles, and
did not return the fire until compelled to.
The steamer McLane was thoroughly rid
died with bullets and Capt Howard de-
termlned to resort to extreme measures.
Backing his steamer off from fleet OF
seven dredgers which we're tied together,
he singled out the Julia A. Jones, and
putting on a full head Of steam, made di-
rectly for her stern, striking her fairly.
The schooner sank almost instantly. Mul-
len escaped by climbing up the steamers
anchor cham, but says the rest of the
rev were in the fore peak and could not
have gotten out. AS soon as the McLane
got cleared from the wreck, she was
again backed off and headed for the fleet,
striking the schooner J. G. Maloney
squarely in the stern. The schooner at
once commenced to sink and the remand
er of the feet got away as fast as possible.
Some of the crew of the Maloney escaped
by climbing on board the McLane, and as
each one came on board he was put in the
hold. A white man named Coleman and
a negro named Bramble of the crew Of the
Maloney are believed to have been drown
ed as they we're not seen after the vessels
had been struck. A large feet of dredg-
ers is reported to be on unlawful ground
tonight and it is not unlikely there will
be another fight before morning.

Hunting Grounds.

DENVER, December 12.-Word reached
here to-day from Ouray agency, Green
River, Utah, that Colorow, the
celebrated chief of the Southern Utes,
had died at the agency yesterday Of pneu-
monia. The old chief was the most ia
nous in the west, and was the leader in
the Meeker massacre, and also in the Col
GROW war, in Garfield county ayear ago
last August. Since the last outbreak he
has been under military surveillance,
which has greatly worried him. About a
month ago he took violent cold, which
rapidly turned into pneumonia and re-
suited fatally on yesterday. He was over
10 years of age, and will be succeeded by
Saponavaro, chief Of the Uncomp pahgres
ColoroW was one of the most notorious
of the Uncompahgre Utes, who have given
white settlers more difficulty than any
other tribe in Colorado Colorow and his
band, before being removed to the reser-
vation, frequently visited Denver for the
purpose of trading, and it was there that
the vicious ugllness of the brute display
ed itself He hated the whites with the
fierce vindictiveness Of his race, and
boasted that he had taken many scalps.
He was shrewd, sharp unscrupulous
man, held in great yeneration by his
tribe, whom he ruled with an iron will.
He leaves two widows and number of
children to mourn his loss, one of whom,
young Colorow, is noted for his prowess.
There will be general rejoicing in Colora

SUIT OF MILLIONAIRE DAVIS.
He Contends He has Paid $13, 900 too Much
on Taxes,

BUTTE, December 12-Suit was com
menced to-day in the district court by A.
J. Davis, president of the First National
bank, against County Treasurer Kessler
for the recovery of $4,000, which Davis
paid On taxes on the capital stock of the
bank, but did so under protest. Among
the allegations for the complaint
are that the stock should have been listed
and valued by the assessor on June l,
1888, whereas it was not listed and valued
until August 2, 1888; that the assessor
when he did list it, valued the stock at
5000 per share; also that said assessor,
out and certified to, as the plaintiff is in
formed and believes, conspired with the
board Of county commissioners to in
crease the assessed value of the stock and
the tax thereon without notice to plain
tiff, erased the value placed upon said
stock at the time the same was listed and
valued the same at $587.82 per share. The
plaintiff was not fully informed of these
acts of the assessor at the time he
paid the sum as a tax; also that the value
to which said stock was increased was
very much in advance of the cash value
thereof, to-wit: about the sum of $500,
that the territorial rule for ascertainlng
the value of stock makes discrimination
against bidders; also that said tax was
not authorized by the laws of the United
States
