The Indian Outbreak.

DENVER, COL, Sept. 3.-Meagre re-
ports have been received of the fight
in Utah, between the Utes and Pinets.
The most trustworthy information at
present is in the following letter re-
ceived by Geo. w. Brooks, from Ma
turia: airs. Cunningham surprised
us last night by coming with the mail
carrier in buck board from Paradox
Valley. She was frightened by the
Indians at Lasel. Two of the Pitts
burg cattle company's cowboys had
been hunting horses, and had
them in corral about four miles from
company's camp. AS they were sad
ding their horses, an Indian all COW
cred with blood ran up to them and
cried out, ego white man, Indians
heap fight, Utes beat Pinetes." The
boys half scared to death, rode as
hard as they could, into camp. AS
soon as Mrs. Cunningham saw them,
she knew something was wrong, and
she told them to saddle up horse for
her and take her to Paradox. While
the boys were saddling a horse
they heard the Indians whOOp, and
they saw one dead Indian, and sew
erai wounded ones, as they came out.
The Indians were still fighting when
they came away.

In kneeling for prayer she accident
ally dropped the money in the dudes
pew. At the close of the service the

found it not and thinks that it went

SUDDEN DEATH.

Chas. Kampen Lies Down to Rest
and Sleeps the Eternal
Slumber.
Saturday afternoon an apparently
strong and healthy man named Chas.
Kampen, who appeared to be rail-
road man, came to the Mahncke hotel
and paid for nights lodging in one
of the rooms and went Immediately to
bed, saying he was exhausted, as he
had had no sleep for "A hours. Yes
terday morning, when the porter
went to awaken him, only his lifeless
corpse was found, stretched on the
bed in a natural manner as though yet
asleep. No mark of violence was
found on his person and nothing to
indicate suicide could be detected.
Justice McAllister held an inquest on
the remains and rendered verdict
that death resulted from natural, I'M
known causes.
Deceased was from Bracket, where
he was in business selling patent ice
machines. He was a member of the
Masonic Lodge of Bracket, holding
the office of Junior Warden, and the
remains were shipped home this
morning for burial by his lodge.

BUSTED"
The Boiler at the Lone Star Brew
cry Forcibly Objects TO all
Work and no Play,

The Lone Star Brewery suffered
loss estimated at from 81 800 to $1,000
Saturday afternoon at 5:45 o'clock, by
the explosion .of the right hand
boiler of the group of four i'm the
boiler house. 1t was a 100 horse
power locomotive boiler and had been
in use ever since the brewery was
established and had become partially
defective.
Fireman Phil Gaines had just filled
the boiler with water and had stepped
out to close the cock and cut off the
water, when the explosion occurred.
This saved his life. A boy jumped
through a glass window and cut his
hands and feet slightly. No other
personal damage was done. The
engine room wall, the steam pipes,
the foundations and the steam heater
are ruined, as well as the boiler.
The head of the boiler is bursted off at
the first rivet seams. One cause of
the explosion is ascribed to mud in
the boiler. The water is pumped into it
directly from the river and since the
recent rains which have swollen this
stream, a great deal of mud has set
tied in the boiler. In cleaning it out
last week several barrels of mud were
taken away.
The electric light wires and one
globe in the brewery near the explo-
sion were shattered. The shock was
felt across the river for some distance.

SUNDAY NIGHTS FUN.
Society Girls Versus Housemaids--
What the Boys Declare About

1h9m.
The Sunday night dance gardens
were well filled with young men and
women last night, notably TESTS and
Sommer's gardens, while Jonas gar
den also entertained a good crowd.
The night was cool and this rendered
dancing and flirting pleasant. The
society young man, the clerk, the
mechanic, the gambler, and others
all mixed together with the sewing
girls, the housemaids, the daughter
of the family. the nurse, etc. These
Sunday gardens are the one bright
spot in the week of the lower classes
and female wage workers and they
enjoy it quite as well as the more in
dependent and educated ladies who
entertain their friends in their parlOrs,
or attend church service, or visit their
friends on the Sabbath. Many times
the housemaid has the best of it, and
like the burgher's daughter in Faust,
the ladies say:
"Look at those fellows there!
'Tis really shameful declare,
The very best society they shun,
After the servant girls, forsooth to
rum
But the boys reply, quoting Faust
"Quick, let us catch the wild game
ere it flies.
The hand on Saturday the mop that
plies,
Will on the Sunday fondle you best"

SPARKS, SLABS. RAPS AND TAPS
For the LIGHT:

For the LIGHT:
The city government is pure dead
weight on the city.
Cleveland donated $40 to the relief
of the sufferers from the earthquake
in Charleston, out of his annual in
come of $50, 900, but he gave $4,000 to
the democratic convention fund in
tended to secure his reelection. This
shows what sort of "hairpin" he is,
/ when you rub off the gliding and the
paint.
- Cleveland's lingo message was an
eructa ton from foul stomach.
The image that was thought to be
of pure gold, seven times refined,
turns out to be of base metal. Cleve-
land, the great reformer, has given
$4,000 to secure his reelection. Did
Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Mad
son, Monroe, &C., ever give money
for such purpose? Never. The
mugwumps must now see they have
been worshipping false God, COM
posed of clay, brass and flesh. He
lsaid president ought to serve out
Ione term, and the people will carry
tout his idea.
! Cleveland has turned his back on
civil service reform, and is disciple
of German and Higgins.
Free trade has done wonderful
things for the workingmen of Eng
land. OF course, it has raised their
wages, lowered rents and the price of
food, and surrounded them with COM
forts-in the imagination. American
Workingmen, even under the blight
of a protective tariff, receive more
than three times as much wages, as
English labOrers. Facts knock the
wind out of theory every time.
The great mogul of San Antonio
must think its citizens are mud-tur-
ties as he expects them to wade in
water and mud.
City Engineer Maury is fast an
chOred in the precOrdla of Bryan, the
boss, and will hang on TO his office in
defiance of public opinion, until his
(. boss is kicked out by an indignant,
, long-suffering and enraged people.
Maury has ''fat take"
The "old bandana" has returned
home. 1t did not answer expectations;
no enthusiasm was inspired by its
snutfy exhibition.
The mud-slinging machines of the
democratic party will soon be at
work.
The ice combine will have to pocket
a. heavy loss. The people mean to
punish the men who organized this
outrageous combine, and they most
( certainly richly merit down pour OF
popular wrath.
With good streets and pavements,
San Antonio would be as attractive
to strangers as a magnet is TO iron.
But the great mogul having trudged
through mud and slush, all his life,
in San Antonio, did not see the use of
getting rid of mire and mud in the
streets and on the sidewalks. A city
hall was the god of his idolatry and
the realization of his dreams, and so
he left "undone the thing, which he
should have done, and did the thing
which he ought not to have DONE"
He has ruined beautiful plaza in the
heart of the city, by planting the city
prison in it, to be as smoke to the
eyes-as bad smell to the nOse-as a
!, thorn in the flesh, to citizens and
visitors. Bryan is an embodiment of
the genius of stupidity. p. NUT.
