WAS IN THE CUSTER MASSACRE.
Only Known Survivor Ofthe Band to Be Brought

Special to the Indianapolis journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
CoRYDoN. Ind, Sept. 1.-The only known
white survivor of the Custer massacre will
be taken from this county to the Insane
Asylum at Indianapolis this week. His
name is Wake Evans, and his age is about
forty five years. His relatives knew that
he was with Custer and supposed that he
had been killed, but two or three years
later he was. by accident. found in an in
sane hospital at Washington city. His
reason had been partially restored. and he
related many incidents OK the great Custer
battle, but could not tell where he had
been since the fight or how he came to be
in tho asylum.
He was brought to his home in this coun-
ty. where he remained short time, when
he mysteriously disappeared and nothing
was heard from him for several years. un-
til he came home about year ago, appar-
emily sane and in excellent health. He re-
fused to say where he had been or what he
had been doing, and the matter is yet a
great mystery.
His reason again began to totter and is
now completely dethroned. Very little
can be learned of his history. but it is
known beyond doubt that he was with
Custer; that he made his escape. and that
his insanity was produced by fright in
that great battle.

entertainment given by the Willard branch
of the Young Womens Temperance Union

as those previously given by the branch, for
the reason that there are few sailors now in

for coastiBg seamen is now fully equal TO if
not greater than the supply, and that there
are comparatively few ashore.

Quite recently the poor-box of st. Johns
Catholic Church on Eddy street was in

a trace of the thief could be discovered.
After the doors were closed it was not con-
sdered necessary to place a, guard on the
place, but one night about two weeks ago
burglars broke through one of the windows
and got inside. They could steal nothing
of value, however, and had to leave empty

In the evening boy was put into con-
fessional to watch the poor-box. He waited
patiently, and at last caught welEdressed

THE COLORADO RIVER OVERFLOW.
Colonel ID. X. Allen Says 1t Is Higher
Thnn Since lSSi.

Colonel ID. X. Allen Says 1t Is Higher
Than Since 1884.
A letter mas just been received from Col
one d. X. Allen, on the Colorado Desert,
in Baia California, dated June 10th, where
in lie says that the desert is about two to
three feet deep under water. He says:
The Colorado River is the highest ever
known except in 1854, when the Yuma Rail-
road Bridge was carried away. On the 18th
it was only two feet ten inches below the
highest point reached at that time, with
twenty days yet to reach it. The February
rise of Salt River raised the Colorado River
so that it cut away the high bank along the
AlgedUnes Ranch and let the river cut its
way to the westward and overflow q large
area not even reached by high water in
1854. The ella River in April kept the river
up and now the great snowfall on the noun
tains north keeps the river up. Below the
Lerdo Colony the river is forty miles wide,
extending from the high mesa south of the
Gila Mountains west 10 the Cucopa Noun
tains. Parties going from the placer mines
in the Cucopa Mountains have to 20 west
nearly to Indian Wells on the old stage
road, then to the high mesa north OF Gard
ners, Seven Wells and Cooks Well, and
take the cid telegraph-line road over the
sand hills to FL Rio, or the old quartz-mill
station at Cargo MuchachO, five miles this
side of Yuma where all teams and saddle
oyerfiowed and no animals can reach Yuma
from the west ALI of the country from
Sulphur Mine Pass and the Black Butte
north to Seven Wells, Gardeners and Cooks
is under water from SIX inches to three feet.
All of the Indians have mad to move back
to the mountains. Hale Hanlan had some
sixty or seventy head OF his cattle caught
ON an Island, and he has had TO kill them all
and convert them into jerked beef.
Much trouble has been encountered by
the rancberos and Indians in getting their
cattle and horses out Of the lowlands,
where there was good feed, out to the
higher ground. The river has cut through
above the Lerd0 Colony and is now running
good stream through east of the colony
mesa. 1t is thought the river will take that
route at the next high water, even If it
does not do so this season, as it runs with
great force against the sand-hills north of
the colony and backs up and is forcing its
way through the sands, which 1t cuts down
like sugar. All the country south OF Hardy
back to Tres PasOs and the Painted Noun
tains is under water as far back as the
are lakes of fresh, or partly fresh, water
Seven Wells and Gardeners, up to Alamo
Mucho, and it is thought will reach Indian
Wells this week. The river is rising from
one to two inches every twenty-fOur hours
The snow at the north is very deep and the
weather very warm, which increases the
volume of water daily. The old steamboat
men on the Colorado do not think that the
river will reach the height of 1854, but they
can only guess ut it. The tides can only
reach the mouth of the Hardy, and even
there they are feeble.-Sau Diego Union.
