ALARM ON THE BORDER.
Settlers at the Mercy of Redskins How
Clifford was Killed.


MIssoULA, MONT, February 22.-The
excitement over the threatened outbreak
of the Indians on the border is growing
hourly more intense.
Dispatches have been passing between
Gen. Ruger, at St. Paul, and the officers
of Ft. Assinaboine and other posts in this
neighborhoOd, and it is understood troops
have been ordered to move at a moments
notice.
John s. Roberts, partner of The late J.
E. Clifford, killed at Flsthead Lake by
the Indians, is here and says of the fight:
''The ssvages laid in wait for him and
shot him. They feared him too much to
do it openly. The Indians who did the
deed are KoOtenais and not Flatheads, as
stated. The Flatheads are allies of the
whites, and thir proud boast is that they
never killed a white man."
The point where this all took place is
known as the upper Fathead country, and
is composed OF the small settlements of
Selfish Egau, Dewtrsville and Ashley.
Thirty miles beyond Ashley Is the place
known as Tobacco Plains, where the In
dians lie, and that is but forty miles from
the Canadian line. There are about 70
white families in all and about 1900
Kootenai Indians. The Indians are all
armed with Martini-Henry rifes, and if
any outbreak should occur the whites are
utterly defenseless. They are 120 miles
from the NOrthesu Pacific road at Ravalli.
At this time there is an abundance Of
snow and the travel to the railroad would
be almost impossible They would be
butchered before get.iug one-third the
Say. In the summer they could take the
steamer on the lake and thus escape. The
men ore prepared in q way to resist an at
tack if they can get their wives and child
rem out OF harms way. The indians get
their ammunition from the Canadian line
and are always well supplied.
Dewersville, where Clifford was killed,
is miserably small place. 1t consists of
Gfiggs cabin, the cabin occGpied by the
ferTyman ard the U. s. Land Office, Cliff
ford's store and hotel, ard liquor store.
The place is a veritable trap and If an out
break occurs the whites caunot escape.
Frequent appeals have been made for q
company OF soldiers.
Great excitement prevails at POcatellO,
Idaho, on account of the closing of all
places Of business on the reservation by
order of The Indian Agent, acting under
instructions from Washington. Special
notices are being posted on all business
houses declaring them closed, and the
buildings erected since September l, 1888,
subject 10 confscation, thereby rendering
:, 200 people homeless. That it is ths de-
termination OF the citizens TO prevent the
Indian police from destroying their prop
elty ia very manifest. Strenuous efforts
are being made to settle the difficulty, and
if that is not accomplished there may be
trouble

The Fire Still Raging in the Tunnel on the

The Fire Still Raging I'm the Tunnel on the
Cincinnati Southern.
CINCINNATI, February 22.-Tunnel No.
II. on the Cincinnati Southern road, near
Sunburrt, Tenn, is still burnipg.
The fire was caused by freight train
collision, by which a tank containing p
800 gsllons of oil was broken and set sfre.
Loud explosions are heard every few min
utes, indicating that the limeston, coal
and woodwork inside the iunnel are com
binipg with the flames 20 make the tannel
a wreck.
There is little hope Of subduing the
flames. for it is evident that two twenty
inch coal veins are burning The idea is
to flood the tunnel. Both ends have been
damned up and two large streams OF
water have been turned inside. This water
NAV fiji the tunnel in week. The tan
mel is higher in the middle than al the
ends. and the coal veins are a. the high
point. so that the water will hardly reach
them. If this fails an attempi will be
made to smother the flames b7 sealing the
ends of the tunnel, to make it air-tight.
Thousands OF dollars have been lost in
passen and freight Business, and q
/. 25O-foot tunnel will have TO be rebuilt
The Master Car Builder of the road says
the loss will rot be less than $3.50. 900,
while General Road Master Mullane says
it will amount TO much more.

CHARLESTON, W. VA, February % -
The star of Democratic triumph continues
to rise higher and higher. Only the fair
declaration ofJudge Fleming's election is
needed to put in the zenith. 1t is practi-
cally settled that the Third district will
be represented in the next Congress By a
Democrat. The Kanswhs Circuit Court,
Judge Guthrie, presiding, rendered a de-
cision in the long pending eertiorari pro-
oeeding this evening, and sustained the
DemOcfatic position at every point. When
the KanawhA County Commissioners made
up the fraudulent certificate which gave
MCGinnis a msjority in the district, a
bill of exceptions was taken by counsel
for Hon. John D. AldersOn. This bill COW
cred the illegal rulings of the court in full
The case WAS argued at length by cOunse
some time ago.
The court gave its decision this evening.
1t was very brief but complete reversal
of the lower court in every particular that
was contested. The Kanawhs county GER
tificate at present in the Governors hand
was declared null and void, and the COM
missioners ordered to meet again and pre-
pare a new certificate on a basis that is
certain to give Mr.. Anderson a handsome
majority in the district.
Judge Guthrie said emphatically Of the
proceedings Of tae Kanawha commission
ers, that no such work as they had doue
would be permitted in his circuit. He
could not make new record and certii-
cate himself, because it was impossible
for him to hear the case, bat they must
do so.
There is hardly a shadow of doubt but
that Governor Wilson will in the near
future issue certificate of election to
Anderson and three Democratic Congress
men from West Virginia will be made
