WOUNDED BY INDIANS.

Mines Near Rozeman Mon,

8act Down by Crows ut the Bozoman
Mines, Near Bohemian, Mon.
Arespectable looking man, with both
arms hanging helplessly by his side,
walked into Jones drug store and pur-
chased some medicine. Some com.
ment was made upon his injured
2 limbs, and he related remarkable
story, saying that he was the victim
of an Indian attack ut tn Bozeman
mines, near Bozeman, Mon, some five
{, weeks ago.
The man stated that his name was
s Charles Brown, and that he was the
&; superintendent of the mines. There
had been some disturbances between
sthe Grow Indians and the whites dur
K ing the last year, but for month be-
! fore the affair took place which de-
prived Brown of the use of his arms
there had been comparative peace.
The day the attack was made most
Eof the miners had gone to the city,
tand Brown, with few others, was
| left. While standing outside of the
| mines, four Indians stepped from be-
hind some trees, and each seemed to
choose his man. The miners had no
( weapons and did not have time to
! make their escape before they were
fired upon. Two of the men, Frank
/ Bryan and Charley Read, were killed
INSTANTLY. The bullet intended for
sBrown's breast missed its aim and en-
! tered r aSTn above the elbow.
The shot that had been meant for the
{ fourth man, who happeRed to be the
son of the president OF the mine,
Estruck a projection, and, glancing,
4 passed through Browns left arm, be-
Tween the elbow and the wrist. AS
ssistauce was soon called from some
Ehuts near by, and the dead men were
scarried away. Brown was tied to his
shorse, and, with the aid of q woman,
swho took the lead rode forty miles to
ABozeman, the nearest place where he
ecould obtain medical treatment 1t
swas found that the bone in both arms
chad been shattered, and it was neces-
bsary to take out two inches Of one and
three inches of the other in order to
Esave either of the limbs.
I Brown has control of the limbs from
shiS shoulders to the wounded parts,
\ but from where the bones were re-
Hmoved his arms and hands are limp
sand lifeless. He is on his way to a
Ewarmer climate to see if change of
latitude will not alleviate the pain he
Sstill endureS. He is man of forty
syears, of fine physique, and, with the
hexception of his crippled arms, is in
general good health. He said he was

JACKSON BADLY Ratified.
He Fails to Hest george Lambert In
Four Raunds-The Pug gtltsts.

Troy, N. Y, March 5.-The Peter
Jackson combination, in charge of Par
son Davies, appeared here tonight before
an immense audience Davies, on being
introduced, said it was the intention at
first to have Jackson spar four rounds
with Jack Ashton, but many people had
desired to see Jackson exhibit himself,
and he had offered Gus Lam bert 500 if
he would spar four rounds with Jackson.
Lambert is a powerful man, weighing
| about 220 pounds. He is considerably
| shorter tnan Jackson, andyery fat. When
time was called for the first round the
excitement began, and increased until it
terminated, when pandemonium reigned
At the start Lambert seemed afraid of
Jackson, and fought shy of him. About
the first thing Lambert did was to strike
at Jackson, and then grab him around
the waist. The referee had hard work to
separate them. Before the second round
was over everybody was yelling like mad
Lambert followed the methods he
adopted in the first round, and hugged
Jackson. Excitement knew no bounds.
When Jackson saw that Lambert per-
sisted in hugging him, he attempted to
tight him, but Lambert would not have
it. He picked Jackson up and ran
across the stage with him, and would
have thrown him over the ropes had it
not been for Ashton, who caught him.
Some hard fighting was done in the cor
ner, and when the men reached the CEN
ter OF the ring again they were both
blowing hard. Lambert struck Jackson
a blow that staggered him,
and the crowd yelled. Jack
son seemed winded. In the fourth
roupd Jackson fought for life, but Lam
bert was there all the time, and when
time was called he was in as good shape
as the Australian, and the crowd carried
him around on their shoulders. Jackson
refused to shake hands with Lam bert.
He offered to fight Lambert to finish,
and tonight George Dixon, the Boston
bantam weight, was authorized to chal-
lenge Lambert to finish fight for from
$500 to $4,000. Jackson is terribly die
comftted.

There was sharp in-fghting from the

Lynch's ribs and stomach some hard
blows. Lynch returned them apparently
with force, but Dougherty did not
weaken. At the end of the sixth round,
to the surprise of every body, Lynch gave
1p. He said he could not stand the
he was receiving on the
heart and body.
