The Revolutionists in the Canton of Ticino,
Switzerland, formed q provisional govern
ment and convoked popular assembly,
which declared the existing Government
and the Grand Council dissolved and
ordered general elections. The insurgents
held Lugano, Membrane, Chiasso and Lo-
cerno.

session, and ordered Federal troops to be
sent to the scene Of the disorder. The popu-
lace supported the insurgents and the Civic
Guard occupied the telegraph Offices thus
preventing the supporters Of the Cantonal
Government from communicating by tele-
graph with each other or with the National
Government.
The rebsls arrested Councillor Oreali, the
Federal Commissioner, who received instruc-
tions to anuul the decision Of the provisional
government and the vote of the popular ss-
sembly. L
The latest dispatches say tho revolt has
collapsed. The troops have been well re-
ceived by the revolutionists. It has been
agreed that the question of the revision OF
the Constitution be submitted to popular
vote.

Two Indian Braves Almost Rout
the United States Armv.

Jules Semiole, an interpreter, brings from
the Cheyenne Agency, in Montana, the de-
tails Of the killing Of Head Chief and Young
Mule, the murderers Of Hugh, Boyle. On
Sunday, the father of Head Chief came to
Agent Cooper and endeavored:tor negotiate
for the surrender Of the fugitives and to
secure their immunity. from punishment by
boys were in the hills where they could not
be taken.
The agent refused to negotiate, saying the
Government did not treat murderers that
way. Finding his efforts fruitless the father
said the boys would come into the agency
and make q fight and that he would 60 out
and help them put on war 'bonnets and tie up
ponies tails-the procedureincident to going
into battlo-and that the soldiers had better
look out, as the boys would fight to the
death.
The place from where they would come was
indicated, and troops and Indian police drawn
up to meet them. In about half an hour
the two renegades were seen coming at
full speed In war paint and feathers. They
charged along the full length Of line occu-
pied by the troops and police, shouting
and yelling like demons. The soldiers fired
a volley or two in return, but failed
to do any damage. As soon as the Indians
were out of range they turned and rode back
again like a whirlwind, repeating the attack
as before, and escaping without damage.
They then started to climb hill in front Of
the troops. When half way up chance
shot~from the military hit Young Mules
pony and brought him to the ground, leav-
ing Young Mule dismounted.
u Head Chief then turned and rode down the
hill at terrific pace, making directly for
the line Of troops and police meanwhile fir.
ing his rife as rapidly as possible. It is re-
ported the line of battle wavered and broke,
but just before Head Chief penetrated it he
fell, shot twice through the forehead and
once in the emouth, and was killed instantly.
Young Mule. noting the fate Of his COM
panion, prepared to follow, chanting the
death song. He started down the hill afoot
and was charging directly into the line OF
troops when he was hit in the side. He
jumped into hole in the ground and fired
one shot after getting under cover. This
was about one O'clock in the afternoon and
hostilities ceased until evening, when Young
Mule was found dead in his rifle pit.

made his way home, for shortly before eight
o'clock people living in the vicinity of his
house were alarmed by hearing five pistol
shots fired in rapid succession.
The lower part of Helms house was the
scene of the murderer's most horrible work,
and it shows evidence of desperate strug-
gle. The kitchen was covered with blood
from one end to the other, and everything
was in great disorder. Just outside the back
door of the house lay two bodies.
Carrie, the eldest girl lay with her feet
toward the door, with her face covered with
blood, the bullet having entered the left side

through his temple from 4+caibre revol-
yer, which lay by bis side
