AN APPEAL FOR TROOPS.

FIathead Indians Threaten TO wreck
Northern Pac fo Trains.
HELESA MoNT., June 27.-The latest
advices from Missouls regarding the trouble
with the Flathesd Indians say the Indians
have threatened to wreck the trains and
destroy the track Of the Northern Pacific
Railroad. which they regard as their foe
because the train secured the escape Of the
Sherih's party.
Superintendent Dickinson has tele-
grsphed the Governor and War Depart
msnt for troops to sssist in protecting the
property Of the railroad company. IL Is
rumored that the colored troops were with
drawn Yesterday afternoon.
The Indians are reported to have sem
their women and children to the hills,
which means that the trouble Is not ye'
ended. 10 will not be surprising II the
troops will have to kill dozen OF more OF
the disafected Indians before quiet Is re
stored. The refusal Of the chiefs TO de
liver up the Indian murderers Is looked
upon as a declaration Of hostility.

WEST VIRGINIA'S COAL
MILLIONAIRE JOSEPH WALTON SAYS IT IS
ADANGBROUs RIVAL
To the Pittsburg 0psrstOrs-Ths Immense Natura
Advantages Of the KAnawha Vslsy-Ohsap
Land, Cheap Production and Cheap
Shipping.

PITTsBURG, June 27.-In an interview
to-day Joseph Walton, the millionaire coal
operator, says:
Perhaps the greatest competitor Pitts
burg has at present, and will have for
some time to come, is the region up the
Kanawhs river, in West Virginia, at least
one might suppose its opposition the most
powerful. Many Of the owners of coal land
in that section may be said to have gotten
them for considerably less than nothing,
and to 10.foOt veins of coal thrown in on
top of that, or rather under, az the timber
above will be several times the cost of the
land. Those who know what Allegheny
aud WestmOreland coal land has cost, or
for that,matter any Of the coal land worked
in Western Pennsylvania can appreciate the
disadvantage with which Western Pennsyl-
vania operators labor in this respect. Mr..
O. KimberlsDd tells of land in West Vir-
ginia owned by the Msrmet Company
which cost $6 an acre and which has 80,
600 feet of lumber on it to the acre, exclu-
sive of tie timber. And below this timber
but small way are coal veins to IA feet
thick scattered over large portion of
country.
In the Kanawha sections half cent is
saved in mining, and three-eighths of a
cent on shipment, compared with Pitts
burg coal, seven eighths cents altogether,
with shipping water a much greater part
of the year than here, and a safer channel.
These two items OF cost alone make diff
ference in favor of Vest Virginia of S110,.
600 year as against Pittsburg operators,
and then added to this are the tolls on the
Monongahela river, which cost such firms

HE DISLODGES THE BULLET.
Gerstman Is Happy and Thinks He VIII

Now Get Well.
There remains little doubt that the man
who shot Officer Frohme, and who IL in
jail, Is Henry Gerstman, without the
'sheim," as that was evidently added 10
hide his identity after he shot the Pitts
burg constable. Gerstman has claimed all
along that Landkrohn shot him in the
eye, but refused 10 allow a physician 10
probe for the ball, saying that it was
lodged in the back of bis head.
About o'clock yesterday he felt some
thing come down through the roof Of his
mouth, and upon opening the latter bul-
let dropped out. The bullet is split open
at the end, as If II had struck some wedge
shaped bone, and when Gerstman found il
he became very much relieved and happy.
He now thinks hs will get well. He will
allow no one 10 handle the bullet, as be
says his blood would become poisoned il
the ball touched other hands than his own.
Gerstman is brother-iD-law Of gentle
man named Steck, of BenwOcd, they hay-
ing married sisters. He was married in
North Wheeling and several gentlemen m
there attended his wedding. lis wife Il
said 10 be a fine woman. The bullet
Gerstman dislOdged is = A ealiber from
his own revolver and it is thought the
reason 1t did no more damage than il
did is because there is not the usual amount
OF powder In the cartridge-that the reyol-
yer and cartridges were given away with
coffee some years ago.
Officer Frohme is getting along nicely
and it will not be long ere he is able 10 be
out.
