Private Secretary Halford Did Not Revise
Messages of Correspondents at Deer Park.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE attention of
Private Secretary Halford was called to-
day to a letter from Deer Park, making a
staten ent to the effect that he had revised
certain messages written by correspond
ents concerning the trip of Mrs. Harrison
and her grandchildren to Deer Park on
the Sd instant. He said that there was alb
solutely no truth in the story whatever.
When he left the train, upon its arrival at
Deer Park, a young gentleman, who intro
duced himself as a railroad employee, asked
him to glance over a brief message to verify
the statement it made. AS he glanced
over the paper. the address and signature
of which he did not notice, the Private
Secretary saw that the physician who had
been called to see the children was de-
scribed as Jake Kilrain's physician" He
was not at that time aware of this fact,
and remarked to the writer that he saw no
reason for allying Mrs. Harrison with Kill
rain. The gentleman responded. neither
do l." and ran his pencil through the
words. That was the full extent, Mr.. Hal
ford says. of his revision of dispatches. So
far as he knows, no correspondents got off
the train at Deer Park and no messages
were fled there.

Sioux Falls Letter in Globe-Democrat
Il see," said DR.. McGillicuddy, that
every now and then some man announces
himself, in the East. as the sole survivor of
the Custer massacre, You can always put
him down as an impostor. There was one
man who might have escaped. He was a
young surgeon named Lord. His body was
not found until long afterwards. and ii was
at first supposed he was a captive. The
Indians told me a strange story about
Lords death. They said that when he saw
how things were going he started of. Sew
eral young bucks followed him, but he had
a good horse and kept ahead of them.
Just as they were going to give up the
chase and intending to let Lord escape. he
drew a pistol and shot himself dead. 1sup-
pose he was cTazed at the thought of be-
coming a prisoner. The only person with
Custer who survived was a Crow scout.
When he saw that the fight had gone
against the cavalry he drew his blanket
over his head so that the Sioux might not
recognize him as a Crow, jumped about
among them and howled, and gradually
edged his way out of the fight and made of.

Horse-Thieves in Miami County.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
PERU. July 1.-THE theft of a valuable
horse and buggy at midday, yesterday,
from the public-square rack, the property
of j. w. Hitler. a farmer of this county,
together with the fact that not the least
trace of the same car be had. leads to the
belief that an organized gang of THE yes
are operating in this county, and in a thor
ongh, systematic manner. The thefts, a
few weeks ago, of many sets Of harness ar ass in in
fcers to detect them, lends color to the be-
lief. The boldness of the theft yesterday,
the distinguishing marks on the animal,
the notice wired and t~elephoned to all Of
fact that, notwithstanding this, nothing
can be heard of the thieves, makes the ex-
istence of a gang apparent. Strenuous eff
forts are being made toward detection.

BALTIMORE, July II.-Jake Miriam, the
pugilist, Who arrived in Baltimore yester-
day afternoon, has entirely recovered from
the effects of his battle with Sullivan, and
looks in even better condition than on the
day he left Baltimore for the fighting
grounds. He does not show a mark of any
kind. In speaking about the great fight,
Kilrain said squarely that he was whipped.
but thought he was largely the victim of
circumstances. When asked directly if he
thought he had been drugged, he said: mo;
l don't think l was drugged. 1T had been
l could not have stayed as long as l did"
Johnny Murphy, when asked the same
question, answered, mysteriously, that
the present his tongue was tied; but when
the time came he expected to make some
important revelations:
What have you got to say about Mitch

"Well, he was not very attentive, to say
the least" was the reply.
IF you ever fight again, Jake. would you
have Mitchell for your trainerf"

think have had my share of it."
In speaking further about the fight Kill
rain said: Il weighed 1S5 pounds when |
went into the ring, and all the talk about
me only weighing 1853 is all bOsh. / knew I
had not been trained properly, and was not
in tit condition to fight Sullivan. but if I
had not gone into the ring the people
would have said i was o coward, and I
meant to fight if L was killed. The
crowd there was against me, and the
referee, l think. while a square man, was
partial to Sullivan n knew nothing
about the rules. Both he and the
crowd were all the time telling me to go up
to Sullivan, and / went, knowing l would
only be knocked down. Of course. he had
no right to say a word. Unde the rules /
could have run all around the ring, but
there was no one but little Murphy here to
coach me, and l blindly went up and took
my medicine. The fact, though, that l
was knocked down repeatedly. but not
knocked out shows that S~ullivan's terrible
blows have not the power some people sup
pose they do. 1 could have stood up
longer, but Donovan threw up the sponge
in excitement, being afraid l would get
killed. My blows, for some reason or other,
did not seem to have any force. My arms
seemed numb, but what was the matter 1

there had a terrible effect on me. My back
was one big blister after the fight. Why,
