No Case Against Bowers

ROCHESTER,, Minn., June 14.-The grand
jury reported at $50 p. m. on the hospital
case. Superintendent Bowers was not in
dicted mol. any of the officials connected
with the hospital as accessories. They
say there was no evidence tending in the
slightest degree to show that Bowers or
anyone else did anything in relation to
the case of Beckman or Peterson to show
there was intent to assist the escape of the
accused from punishment. They censure
Bowers and other officers in emitting to
report the murder of Combs sooner, but
say Bowers acted in what he believed to
De in the best interests OF the public and
the hospital.

Butclherins the Settlers.

ST. PAUL, June 13.-The following tele-
gram was received at Governor Merriam's
Office at $50 this evening and contains the
startling intelligence that the Chippewa
Indians in the vicinity of Mile Laos lake
are once more at their bloody work of
butchering inotfensive settlers.
MORA, Mimi, June lS.-The Chippewa
Indians at Mile Lacs lake commenced
killing and driving out white settlers last
night at midnight. Six whites killed and
wounded. All inoffensive Swedes. No
known cause: Five O'clock a. nl. Don't
killed last night. Help US and quiet the
Indians. Soldiers can come to Mora, then
to Mile Lacs lake or to NIilaca station and
to lake. Answer.
EVEN NICHOLSON.
In the absence of Governor Merriam,
Secretary Elliott opened the telegram and
at once notified the governor, who is at
Window to-day, of the terrible report.
Governor Merriam ordered out three com
panies of state troops, but before their de-
parture for the scene of trouble it was de-
cided to be outside of the jurisdiction Of
the state, being on an Indian reservation,
and United States troops were called for.
Several companies have been detailed and
will leave at O'clock for Mora. The fol-
lowing brief dispatch from Mora, AIinn.,
has been received by the Pioneer Press:
'Ivan AIichaelson, settler at Mile
Lacs lake, brought word down
here to-day that tae Indians
at Mile Lacs lake reservation had yester-
day driven away several lately arrived
families from their claims, and murdered
an old Swede named Magnuson last night
Magnuson managed to crawl to the nearest
neighbor, about half mile away, but was
dying and unable to give any clear account
of the shooting. He was shot twice
through the head and cannot live. Borg
started for Mr.. Briggs place and Michael
son was dispatched to Mora, to telegraph
the governor for aid. It appears that the
Indians have had dance and been on
three weeks drunk, which yesterday cul-
minated in an attack on the settlers. No
trace could be found Of the missing fami-
lies, and fears are entertained OF whole
sale slaughter having taken place. The
whites at the lake are panic stricken, as
some bad feelings have been shown lately
by the Indians on the account of immi-
grafton. There is some talk of forming
company of rangers in Mora should any
report of further trouble come in, and as
sistance be necessary.

4 CHINESE CITY
Reported to be Burned, and 10000 Lives
Lost,

Lost.
SAN FRANCISCO, June l3.-The steamer
City of Peking arrived yesterday from
Hong Hong via y okahama. The Shang-
hal Courier of May 10th contains the news
which the latter received from CORE
sponden at Chung King, to the effect that
Lu Chow, a city Of some Importance in
upper Pang Tsze, is reported as being
nearly destroyed by fire month ago. The
gates of the city are said to have been de-
stroyed, and the loss of life burned and
trampled to death is estimated at 10000.
Commenting on this the Shanghai Courier
says: In case this startling news is true,
it is remarkable fact that it has not
reached Shanghai before now, as it is
nearly a month since the fire is reported to
have occurred. Still there is not conclu-
sive proofs that the disaster has not hap
pened.

Sullivan Released.

CHICAGO. June 14.-AleXander Sullivan
was to-day restored to liberty by Judge
Tuly. His release was the immediate re-
suit OF Sulllvan's application for writ OF
habeas corpus. Bail was fixed at S2O,OO0
and was promptly furnished by four we'll
known citizens, each Of whom represented
many times the total amount asked. Sui
livan walked out of court after having
been less than three days in custody. The
Judge held that the coroner's jury had
been influenced by outside sentiment.
Seldom, if ever, has a case drawn such a
crowd as that which assembled this after
noon to hear the expected decision. The
court room was jammed, and big con
course Of men assembled in the corridors
adjoining, seeking to catch from afar the
words from the judges lips. States attor-

OF three-quarters of an hour before Judge
Tuly reached his court room. Finally at

m0ny in the case, and not as first pro.
posed, merely that relating to Sullivan
alone. The decision was in favor of Sulli-
van on all points. The judges decision
practically was to the effect that as the
case stands at present there was nothing
absolutely against Sullivan except the fact
that he was an enemy of Cronin's, and that
Cronin was just as bitter an enemy of
him.

The Indians Are Undecided What to do.
but Some Have Signed the Bill.
PINE RIDGE, Dak., June 16.-At the
council between the different bands of
Indians yesterday afternoon, it was de-
clded to hold another council among them
selves, and then break up their camps at
this agency and scatter to their homes. IF
this is done, it will at least greatly DELAY
action here. The only Indians who are
now prepared to sign are those who were
either present at the discussion at Rosebud
or are influenced by that action. AS mat
ters now stand, they are in the min.
ority. The opponents of the bill have been
aided by outside support and their united
strength is formidable. The committee
expects to hold council this afternoon.
council was held this afternoon at
which Old-man-afraid-of-his his horse, Red
Cloud. Little Wound, Blue Horse, Young
n-afraid-of-his- horse and other chiefs
spoke. Their talk was rehearsal of
each in their own way of their individual
views as to the promise of the treaty of
1858, which has not been fulfilled. When
they finished, Major Warner explained the
provisions very much in the same way as
at Rosebud, and in addition explained the
part OF the bill in reference to the paying
OF Red Cloud for his ponies, and told
them to be careful of any men who wanted
to get any OF their money, that the advice
from such man was not worth much,
that while he thought it was for the inter-
est OF all of them that the bill shoule be ac-
cepted, still the commissioners wanted
them to do as each thought best. He con-
cluded by saying the bill was ready for
their signatures. mo FLESH: was the first
to sign. About forty signed in twenty
minutes, when further action was deferred
until this evening.

Gov. Fifer of Illinois, for the surrender of
John j. Maroney and Thos. Mcdonald

was presented, showing that the accused
were guilty of the crime charged against
them as required by laws of this and all
other states. The application is based

Lake.

VI the Murder by Indians at Mile Laos
Lake.
MORA, Mimi, June 14.-Jim Chatty,
chief of the Snake river band, was in this
morning, and conferred with Captain
Stanch. He said the trouble was caused
by whisky, and there would be no general
uprising; that the Indians desired to MAIN
tain the peaceful relations between them
selves and whites. He said that the In
dians would assist to bring the murderer
of Magnuson to justice. The true version
of the affair will soon be known. The In
dians had been supplied with whisky by
lawless whites, and while drunk they had
made the attack. 1t is generally believed
Magnuson was the only one killed or in
jured. Nothing & definite will be known till

The situation al Pine Ridge.

j -
PINE RIDGE AGENCY, Dak.. June 15.-
The situation since the arrival of the COM
missioners at this agency has remained
practically unchanged. There has been
no council yet, owing to the absence OF
Little Wounds band, which arrived this
morning. Rain has prevented the council
thus far to-day. There is a large amount
of quiet work being done among the half
breeds and others, the effect of which will
be apparent when the work of the commits
sioners begin. There has been no oppor-
tunity as yet of placing any of the chiefs
on record, but that they will at first speak
in opposition. with few exceptions, though
it is presumable that the same method
used at Rosebud will result with equal sue
cess here. The more progressive Indians
are the only ones who are openly favoring
the bill. Old chiefs evidently fear that the
land in severalty will cause independence
and consequent loss of prestige and infiu-
ence with their bands.
A COUNCIL HELD.
4 PINE RIDGE AGENCY, June 15.-The
commissioners held council with the
Indians at this agency this afternoon. All
the principal chiefs and many of their
bands, as we'll as representative men Of
mixed blood, were present. The commits
sioners asked the Indians to select inter
prefers who would be satisfactory to
them. Red Cloud stated they desired
VIM. Garnett and Robert Randall.
Throughout the council theIndians listened
with close attention and were evidently
impressed by the clearness with which
the act Of congress was explained by the
commissioners. It is probable that they
will expect several days in which to talk
with each other before they take any de-
cided action. 3s5

Mrs. Sabin's Condition,

New YORK. June 15.-Prompted by the
statements that the wife of Senator d. NJ.
Sabin, of Minnesota, was 'sthrown into an
insane asylum and detained there against
her will. while divorce was obtained and
without the knowledge of her relatives"
Mr.. E. G. Taintor, of 239 Broadway, New
York city, has prepared this statement:
''Before marriage Mrs. Sabin was men,
Der of the family of DR.. Hutchins, of Dan
ielsville, Connecticut. l am son-in-law
of DR.. Hutchins, and have acted as next
friend of Mrs. Sabin in this matter. The
reports casting discredlt OH Senator Sabin
| were so far from true that they were in
tOlerabie even to the friends of the lady.
Mrs. Sabin had herself made application
to be admitted for treatment to the
institution at Flushing, Long Island,
where she now is. She did so because it
was the best thing, and she did it after
consultation with her friends and
took the step freely and without compul-
sion on the part of Senator Sabin, or in fact
of any one. accompanied her there and
placed her in the doctors care, and have
since frequently called upon her there.
She has entire liberty of action, and is free
to come and go, to receive her friends and
to communicate with them, which she con-
tinually does. At a recent interview with
me she expressed her desire to remain
there as long as possible, and afterwards
wrote me asking me to use my influence
with the senator to provide for her contin-
ued treatment there. This Senator Sabin
willingly did when asked, re-
gardless of the great expense
incurred. In fact there has
been no disposition;on the part of Senator
Sabin to withhold anything that would
contribute to her comfort or welfare.
Everything requested or suggested by Mrs.
Sabin, or myself or other of her relatives
and friends has been freely done, and sat
isfactory provision has been made for her
future support by Senator Sabin. Mrs. Sa-
bin and her friends have been fully aware
of the divorce suit from beginning to end,
and have been at all times free to oppose
the suit if she or they had desired. Her
friends and relatives acknowledge that
Senator Sabin acted generously by her in
his provisions for her present and future
comfort, and they consider that his con-
duct in the whole matter has been all tnat
could be expected under the circumstan-
ces of the case.

breaking Through the Clouds.

JoHNsTowN, June 1S.-To-day was the
second day since the flood that Johnstown
was not deluged with rain, and under the
influence of the bright sun, the sandy soil
was soon drying, and things in general
frightened up wonderfully. A number of
stores with their wares inside and outside
were started in business anew. and large
sales of flooded goods were effected, being
bought chiefly as relics. People are maxi
ing heroic efforts to clean out their houses,
and to fit them for habitation. Neighbors
combined to help one another to reset
houses on their foundations and to remove
the accumulation of drift and rubbish
which bars the entry to their doors. Sewer
pipes are all awry, and the cellars are all
full Of water. There is need for engines to
pump out the water as soon as possible.
Syphoning has been tried. but with no sue
cess, as the cellars are much lower than
the ground. The Cambria company start
ed out corps Of surveyors this afternoon
to locate lines of demarkation for the re-
building and repair of their demoralized
plant. The first decisive attempt towards
putting Johnstown business men on their
feet was made to-day, when about 200
merchants who had survived the food,
many of them without a dollar, met Ad-
jutant. General Hastings this afternoon
and were assured that they would be re-
established in business on long credit.
Both Pittsburg and Philadelphia whole
salers have offered Johnstown merchants
this courtesy. The meeting to-day turned
out to be an ovation to Adjutantr General
Hastings.
