CHICAGO, June IA.
To the Adjutdnt- General:


Following telegram received: "In conse-
quence Of telegram dated yesterday, sent from
Mora station, about rs miles from Millach
reservation, to Gen. Merriam, that Chippewas
there had night before begun killing and driv-
ing out Settlers had killed and wounded six,
sent last night three companies of the third
infantry from Fort Smelling to repress any
trouble. Capt. Stouch reports this morning
from Mora that the report there was that one
man had been shot, but the circumstances
were not then known; the original report was
probably eXaggeration. The actual facts
and conditions will be ascertained by Capt
Stouch. [Signedl RUGER,

ing that the Portland Cadets are AT present
the Champions of Maine" has excited con-
siderable questioning among the CoburD
Cadets of the State College. Last fall Capt.

challenge to any company in the State to
iril for the championship of the State which
as almost Immediately taken up by the
Neatly Rifles of Lewiston.
Not a murmur came from any part of the
State questioning the right Of either company
to hold the title of Champions of Maine" :"
according AZ one or the other won the drill
The Coburn Cadets came of conquerors and
hence claimed to be the champions of the
State, and now, after so long time having

are not as yet willing to relinquish their title,
nothing would suit them better than to meet
the Portland Cadets in a competitive drill and
decide the question so that one may know
