Then, as her glance wandered out into
the grounds, "Ionder comes Frank now.

turning afoot from camp-meeting one day
last week when he was set upon by two
toughs. who announced their intention of
"doing" him then and there. The
"Bishop" has long been disliked among
this class of people because OF his fearless
denunciation Of their actions, and he had
no doubt that they intended To keep their
word. They both rushed for the "Bishop,"
hut had reckoned without their host. The
divine squared himself for action, and in
less time than il would have taken him TO
preach sermon he gave those two fell

and went on his way as IL nothing had

trial of the suit of Chu Fong against

Fair Fight.
DALLAS. Tex, February 15.-Bezinah,
the pugilist who killed Tom James, in Q
sparring match night before last, has
been discharged on the ground that there
is no law to indict q man for killing an
other in licensed exhibition. The
other members of the party, including
Kilrain, were also released.
The verdict of the Coroner recites the
facts in the matter ,and finds that no undue
advantage was taken by James's oppo-
nents, and that no unusual blow was
struct; that sparring contests are licensed
by the State that the evidence of ply
sicians and friends of the deceased justi-
ies the conclusion that he died from q
combination of causes. such as great ex-
element and the exertion of the pending
contest, and finally by a glancing blow
on the neck with soft gloves, which was
aimed at his head, and in no reasonable
sense involving malice, criminal negli-
gence or intent, and that there is no just
or legal ground for holding Bezinah to
answer.

THE APACHE HOSTAGES
Gen. Miles Objects to Their
Proposed Removal.
THEY ARE A DANGEROUS BAND.
They Should not be Brought Neal
Their Old Haunts-Indian 81.
Scouts Despised. L

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD,
WASHINGTON, February 15.-Govsrnor
Wolfey, OF Arizona, and General Niles
appeared today before the House COM
mittee on Indian affairs, with regaid to
the proposed removal OF the Apaches to
Fort Sill. Governor Wolfey presenedsa
large number of clippings from Western
newspapers. which he said showed that
the sentiment of the people was that
these Indians should not be returned to
the West. In speaking of the Indian
Chatto, Governor Wolf1ey said there was
no more red-handed murderer than he.
The people of Arizona believed in and
liked General Crook, but they thought
he made mistake in recommending
tn transfer of the Indians.
AT the conclusion of Governor Wolhey's
testimony, General Miles, at the request
of the chairman OF the committee, gave a
detailed account of his campaign against
the hostiles from the time of his reliev-
ing General Crook in April, 1886, to the
time of their surrender. He declared
that he had no confidence in Indian
scouts. If they were true to the mill
tary they were false to their own people.
He had no use for men who would hire
out at the rate of $13 per month to trail
their friends and relatives for delivery to
the enemy. He related his efforts in
trying to get the Indians moved to 6
place that was healthful and beneficial
to them, and of their removal finally to
the East.
General Miles also presented copy
of his report on the surrounding of the
Indians, which was sent through the
military channels, by Way of San Fran
cisco. There, be said, it had been pig
eon-holed and was afterwards taken out
on an order from the War Department.
This report, General Miles said, had
never been published. 1t was date
Fort Bowie, Arizona, September 6, 1885,
and addressed to the Assistant Adjutant
General, of the Division of the Pacific,
San Francisco. 1t contains a brief &C.
count of the surrender of Geronimo and
his band, and says: "They are wholly
submissive and can be controlled without
difficulty. They expect banishment
from this country, and 1 am now moving

of economy, safety and health,
| still believe Fort Riley and
Fort, ,Lsavenworth would be suitable
places of confinement, and the worst OF
the men and boys could be placed within
the prison walls of the Fort Leavenworth
military prison. But unless receive in
structions to the contrary, I shall ship
them and those at Fort Apache to Fort
Marion, Florida. Arizona and New
Mexico will then be cleared of an
element that has been terror to the
people from the earliest settlement"
He referred to the desperate character
of the Apaches, and said if they we're
sent to Fort Sill there would be practi-
cally nothing between them and the
mountains OF Mexico. If they got back
West they would in all probability be
mounted in six weeks. General Miles
said, in conclusion, that he thought the
people of Arizona and New Mexico had
great cause for apprehension if the IT.
dians were removed to Fort Sill.
