Special Correspondence Of the Standard.
SPOKANE FALLS, Sept. 25-Par-
ticulars Of the recent scalping OF
white man and other Indian outrages near
Sand Point, Idaho, have reached here. II
seems that nine bucks, who were on the
war path, first made trouble with four or
five section men at work on the Northern
Pacific railroad, across from Sand Point.
The Indians attacked the men with clubs
and stones. Some Of the men were seri-
ously hurt and probably all would have
been murdered but for the timely arrival
of the construction train, when the lndi
ans fed. The Indians on arriving at their
camp at Sand Point, found white man
trying 10 make trade with some Of the
tribe, and not satisfied with the first out

top OF the scalp.
News of this last outrage soon reached
Bomcr's Ferry, from which place word
was sent to Sheriff Martin of Kootenai
county who with posse gave chase, but
did not succeed in capturing any OF the
red devils. Ii is reported that a number
of other depredatons have been commit
ted throughout this section by them and so
far as known none OF the offenders have
been bro gbt 10 justice. The people are
very indignant AT the authorities for not
taking steps 10 prevent further outrages.
