SCARCITY OF GAME


Canadian Indians suffering for the Want
of Clothing and Food.
WNN1PEa, MANITOBA, September 2S.-A
among the Indians comes from Athaba.ca,
in the Peace river country. II comes in the
form of petition to the minister of the in
terror for Canada and is signed by the An
gelican bishop of the fort diocese, six cler-
gymen missionaries and several Justices Of
the peace. It says that owing TO the great
mortality of beavers and other small game,
the Indians both last winter and this sum-
mers have been in q continual state of star
vation, and are now In q complete state Of
destitution, and are unable to provide them-
selves with clothing, ammunition or food
for the winter.
The petition says that on account of star
vation and consequent oannibalism party
Of twenty-nine Cree Indians was reduced to
three in the winter of 1888. In the Macken
zle river district there were several cases OF
death by starvation, one or moro by canni-
balism. During the last winter among Fort
Chippewa Indians, between twenty and
thirty starved to death. The death of the
others was accelerated by the want Of food.
Many Indians are Crees, Beavers and Chip
pewas.
At almost all points where there are
missionaries and trading posts, they would
certainly have starved to death but for the
help given by the trade missionaries at
these places. Scores of families having lost
their herds by starvation are now perfectly
helpless and must etarve to death or eat
one another unless help comea People
are greatly agitated over the. fate of the
suffering and cannlbalism continue to come

Hutchinscn Squeezes tho Wheat Market al
chicago up to Sc Per Bushel.
CHICAGO, 1910 a. M, September 29.-$1.6e
has been paid for September wheat. The
Daily News says: "Old Hutch" had one Of
his cranky epells on this morning. To re-
porter who asked him for q price on Sep
tember wheat, he bridled up like q mad
bull. "You don't want to buy any wheat, "
he said, ego along about your business:
don't come around here annoying Us. F."
From other sources it was learned that he
had no wheat Tor sale for less than 81 per
bushel.
The absence of the outside business this
morning was noticeable feature. Hutch
inson was giving it out that he had no
wheat to sell below So. There were anxious
bidders for it in the pit at SLIGO, and Sey-
mour was industriously buying in store lots
at SLIGO. A few sales of September were
made in the pit. The Weare commission
company paid SLIGO for one small lot. Orr
& Co., sold Hutchinson 5000 at $1.45 at pre-
cisely the same time Seymour was paying
SLIGO for it.
EXCITEMENT AT ST. PAUL.
ST. PAUL. MIMI, September 29.-The
great rise in wheat in Chicago has created en-
unusual degree of excitement in st. Paul
and Minneapolis grain circles, but as rule
the dealers are jubilant. Michael Duran,
of st. Paul, is reported to have made $780,
600, and others hsve realized handsomely.
One young man sold out 20,CO0 bushels
Thursday al profit OF 26 cents per bushel.
Minneapolis dealers generally seem to have
been on the right side of the deal or out of
it altogether. Millers and ali holders Of
wheat realized on ir largely.

THE HAYMARKET FIENDS,
Working for tho Release OF the Two Inn
prisoned Anarchists.

CHICAGO, September 2S.-The case of tho
two imprisoned anarchists, Samuel Fielden
and Michael Schwab, have not been entirely
given up by the attorneys, Mr.. Solomon and
W. P. Black. These attorneys have been
carefully studying the records of the su-
preme court, and claim to have discovered
vital errors, which they are hopeful will
prove beneficial to their clients now at
Joliet. Last evening Attorney Solomon
started for Ottawa, where the supreme court
is now in session, armed with the joint affi-
davit of himself and Captain Black which he
will file this morning.
The affidavit states that in the decres OF
the court it is set forth that the defendants
in person were present in court during the
argument, rendering of opinion and refas-
ing them new trial. This they claim is
not true. They will ask tho court to amend
its record in that particular. IF that order
is issued, it is claimed that the prisoners
attorneys will take further steps which they
hope will result in securing their clients re-
lease.

Items About the Rain and its Effect

Cotton Beginning to Sprout.
MARION, Tex, Aug. Is, 1888.
For the Daily LIGHT:
blessed with a good rain. 1t COM
menced to rain last Friday and kept
on with but short intervals until to-
day. The whole town is inundated
and it is hard job for pedestrians to
make their way through the black,
sticky mud similar to San Antonio
mud). In one respect the rain was
very beneficial, for all the water holes
are filled to the brim, grass will be
plentiful in short time, and the poor
cattle will have to suffer no longer;
but then again the rain has done
some damage to cotton. The seed in
the opened bolls commences to grow
already, and some cotton was blown
to the ground by the wind that pre-
vailed at that time. The rain was
necessary though and farmers ought
not TO grumble about the little dam
age done, for if everything turns out
all right fair fall crop might be
made. Reports are exaggerated to
some extent and it is always advisa-
BILE to discount same little.
AS matter of course all the creeks
are on boom, the Cibolo especially.
Master Robert Brahan, son of Mr..
Haywood Brahan, and his attendant,
a negro boy, attempted to cross the
Cibolo in Ed. Tewes's pasture i'll a
buggy, and it would have been better
had they abandoned that idea, for it
nearly cost their lives. When about
half way the vehicle commenced to
float and horses and buggy went down
the stream at lively speed. The
negro boy, half scared TO death, was
the first to jump out of the buggy and
Robert, after hard struggle, manag-
ed to do the same. Both of them
pulled for the land and luckily got
there safe and sound; but they got
good ducking. 1t was great luck for
them to get on dry land, for this creek
is very rapid in its course when on rise
and 1t takes a good swimmer to cross
it.
The horses and buggy kept on
going down the stream for about
mile, when the buggy got caught in a
tree and was bound to stop then. The
poor horses were dead and only the
buggy was brought on the land,
though nearly total wreck.
This station has shipped about 200
bales of cotton this season and it will
be some time before more will be
shipped. for the rain made the roads
impossible and farmers can bring in
no cotton now. The price paid for
cotton is S3-4 cents. Had a rain
come about six weeks ago a good crop
of cotton would have been assured,
but as it is now, it takes four acres 10
pick one bale.
