Leman, who arrived from Acton to-day,
states that three indians, supposed to
belong to the Mojave reservation.
camped last evening near cabin on
the outskirts of Acton. The only occu-

shot at him but missed. and the lad es-
capped into the mountains. They next
called at the cabin of Daniel w. Farmer,
a native of New York. Mrs. Farmer
was alone. She was killed outright.
The last victim, as far as known at
present, was an old man named Louis
f. Clark, farmer and anatiye of Iowa.
He was shot and left for dead. but the
latest reports state that he is still alive.

A trail was struck which led through
Ravenna and formed circuit to Hum

the sheriff, who accompanied by
deputies left on the noon train for the
scene of the tragedy. The sheriff is of

ONE OF THE FIRM TALKS.
Thomas Barring Admits That There
Was q Squeeze.

New YORK, Nov. 15.-ln an inter-
view, Thomas Barring said that 1t was
true that the Bank of England, the
Rothschilds and other big English bank
ing houses had agreed to guarantee the
credit of the Earrings to the extent of
e11,0O0,000 sterling. In regard to the
condition of affairs in Wall street, Mr..
Seligman, of the banking firm of Selig-
man q Co., said:
1--WE can't tell anything definite as
yet, but in regard to the eli, 100000
loan to the Earrings, presume that if
within reasonable time the market
takes favorable turn, they will take
up the collateral and go on as always.
No one can say that this is the begin
ming of the end of the Earrings, for the
simple reason that no one knows any
thing about it,

Chicago.

UNION SToCKYARDs, Chicago, H., Nov. II.
-To-day's market was a fitting finale to a
dull, stale and Improbable week. There
was lamentable dullness in all branches of
the trade, and but little strength anywhere.
Cattle sold slowly and nervously-generally a
shade lower. About 1000 were held over
mot voluntarily from Friday, and the fresh
receipts amounted to 900. There was not
legitimate demand for half the number on
sale, and buyers made prices to suit them
selves. The hog market was quiet and easy
at yesterdays decline, and there was a.lim
lied demand for sheep at nominally ste ady
prices. Cattle-Receipts, $3.50; common to

A negro fell from piece of tim
her and was drowned at Hubbard's
dam, on Cocodrie, a short time since,
ind his remains were conveyed to
Washington, La, for interment. He
could not swim. A raftsman should
be good swimmer, and near life
preserver, too, as the biscuits baked
10y the average swamp COOK have an
enormous sinking capacity.
If the government should try to
clear up such mysteries as has shocke ed
this peaceful community we think
there would be no better purpose than
to stop the tongues of the scandal ped
oilers who always avail themsel es of
every chance to injure those whom
they do not like. The government
should take all such cases or enact
laws to protect the innocent from SLAM
der. Let the guilty only suffer.
Game looks we'll aud planters are
