Special to the Gazette.
BoNHAM, TEX. April ga few DAYS
ago parties from Whitewright, Grsyson
county, and Savoy, in this county, went
to Eagle lake, in the Indian Territorv,
on h1nting and fishing expedition. The
sudden rise in Red river, caused by the
heavy rains. came on them unawarss,
and they were completely surrounded by
water before they could make their es-
cape TO higher ground. Word was
brought to this city that the whole
party bad been obliged to
take refuge in trees, and were
shouting for help. No one could go to
them, presumably from the fact that the
boats along the river had all been washed
away. a relief party was organized and
left here early this morning, carrying
boats from here. The parties have been
in the trees for several days, and the
danger is becoming alarming. The yea
cuing party will have to cross Red river,
which is very swift and full OF drift
wood, and as they have only email boats
the Undertaking is periloua one.

D-La- Nah, alias Greenleaf, Seminole
Indian, who is wanted here on three
separate charges of murder, and who
mas been an outlaw for the past eighteen
years, this being the srss time he was
ever arrested. About line years ago he
murdered q white man named Davis in
the ChickasaW nation shooting him from
the brush. A few days later he murdered
man named Bsteman in the same To-
cality, shooting him down as he was
blowing in the field. Bateman s body
lay where 1t fell four days, aud when the
murderer fired the shot the. horse his
victim was blowing ran away, the plow
struck a stump, the point was broken of
and is still sticking there. After this he
murdered the maiI-rider near Old Fort
Wsshita. He robbed all of bis victims.
All of this time his business has been
whisky peddling, and every marshal
that has ridden II the Seminole
Creek and Chickassw country has
carried writs for him. Since kill
ing the three white men above
mentioned, he has killed four men of his
own tribe, all OF whom had assisted
deputy marshals IN hunting him. The
laat he killed was Barns Waha. he first
shot him down, then put twepty-four
bullets into his body. For some time
past it has been impossible for an
officer to get anyone to as

Reaves was in his neighborhood and
learned that Greenleaf had just come
into the country with load of whisky.
He located him, and at night got near

moved up close to the house.
At daylight he and his posse charged

Trades Unionisn In London.
Special to the Gazette.
LONDON, April 2S.-The impetus given
TO trades unionism by the great strike OF
London dock laborers has never for q
moment tagged since the. successful is
sue of that event sIndeed the growth OF
organized labor during the last six or
eight months has been little less than
marvellous throughout the whole
kingdom and the harmony Of
action and unanimity of pur-
pose among the various organizations
is equally wonderful. Preparations
for the mammoth labor meeting which is
to be held in Hyde park on Monday May
4, have been active in all parts of Eng
land for several weeks past, and meet
ings were held in many cities and towns
yesterday at which the plans of the vari-
GUS branches which are to participate
were perfected. 'Seventy-two distinct
unions aggregating $50 900 laborers will
take part in tine procession, which will be
divided into sections and march from
every quarter of the town to the common
meeting place, Hyde park, one Of
the unions marching sixteen
miles to reach the position
to which it is assigned. OF the whole
number of paraders 100 200 will form on
the Thames embankment. There is con-
siderable friction between the socialists
and the trades unionists owing to the
manifest disposition of the latter to hold
themselves aloof from the former and it
is feared that trouble will grow out of
this feeling unless they can be induced
TO sink their prejudices and act
,-s. 90
The socialists, are, as usual, the more
aggressive parties to the difference, and
this attitude furnishes the greater part
of the grounds for the stubbornnesS of
the unionists.

Stanley's friends, however, that he
will be willing to accept a title
which would questionably detract from
his greatness.
