Then both men reached for their re-
volvers. Lilly drew his weapon quick
~, but Wilson's pistol hung in his
pocket and was discharged before he
could get it out While he was strug.
Cling to free his revolver Lilly
fired two shots. both taking effect in
Wilson's breast near the heart Will
son managed to fire twice at his antag-
onist In rapid succession. One bullet
stshc Lilly near the heart, the other
missing him. At this juncture VIII, .
brother of Wilson, came up behind
Lilly and wrested the pistol from his
grasp. But this did not stop the
wounded physician, for hastily drawing
his large knife he made three fatal
stabs in John Wilson's body. Both
combatants fell to the ground, but
the fight went on, and Grant
Lilly, a brother to the doctor,
rushed up to assist his wounded
kinsman. Before he coulo render aid

THE Portland Oregonian says: There
Is not the smallest danger of serious
Indian outbreak in the Northwest. The
conditions existing in this region have
been entirely changed by the building
of railroads and the establishment of
means of rapid communication among
posts. 1t is quite impossible to organ
ize an Indian outbreak under the eye of
the agent on reservations without the
conspiracy becoming known. With
existing means of communication and
transit, an outbreak could be crushed
IN its incipiency by rapid concentra-
tion OF troops. The age OF Indian out
breaks is past
