A CrImi nal Operation.

Chief Deputy Coroner Knopf, Of Chicago,
ordered the arrest of Mrs. Briggs, a midwife.
for performing criminal operation on Mrs.
Chandler.
The testimony against Mrs. Briggs is quito
strong, but would have been stronger had 1t
not been for the alleged negligence of the
officials of the states attorneys Office. Two
weeks ago Mrs. Chandler went to Mrs.
Briggs and paid her S25 for performing the
operation. She commenced to fail, how.
ever, soon after, and physicians were called
in to attend her. They tried hard to save
her, but told her she must die. Mrs. Chan.
dler then told them that Mrs. Briggs had
performed an operation on her that was the
cause of her sickness. The two physicians
Immediately telcphoned the states attorney
and asked him to come ut once and take the
woman's antc-mortem statement. No one
was sent, and Mrs Chandler died
The coroper's Office was notified and
Chief Knopf started out to investigate. He
secured the statements of the doctors and
after hearing them ordered police officers to
arrest Mrs. Briggs. The husband OF the
dead woman Is supposed to have guilty
knowledge Of the crime. He is said to have
objected to It, but his wife succeeded in
overcoming his opposition. Mrs. Chandler
was 80 years old and had several children.
She was = slight little woman, weighing
about seventy-fivc pounds.

Strange story or Crime.

In March, 1882, Thomas Morris was con-
victed in Hancock County, ILL.,. on charge
OF rape and sentenced to the penitentiary
for life. The Governor has now committed
the sentence to fourteen years, tho max mum
term for attempt to commit the offense.
The case Is an interesting one. 1t appears
that when the news spread I'm respect to
Morris offense mob pursued him, attempt
ed to take his life, and did shoot and wound
him. After his capture he confessed to the
officers and on their evidence he was indict-
ed. He adhered 10 his confession after he was
Indicted, though the prosecuting attorney
offered to accept confession OF attempt
to commit the crime, but he preferred to
be locked up for life rather than take the
chances Of being killed by mob. Accord
ingly he was sentenced for life aud the
prosecuting witness was not heard In court.
The prosecuting attorney now states the
foregoing facts and others to satisfy the
Governor that Morris did not In fact COM
init the offense for which he was sentenced,
and this Is borne out by definite statement
from the woman concerned, making the Of
Tense only nm attempt to commit the crime
charged and not the commission Of that
crime. The sentence Is therefore committed
to fourteen years, and this with the prison.

Discomfort hn been growing among the
Indians for six months. The causes are
numerous. Fret was the total failure OF
their crops this year, A good many III
them put In crops aud worked industrious

failed, as they did utterly In some districts.
Then the government cut down their ra-
lions and the appropriation bill was passed
SO late that what supplies they received
came unusually late. A 4 pod many OF
them have been on tho verge Of starvation.
They hive seen the whites suffering. too,
and in many cases abandoning their farms.
In North Dakota they have entirely passed
beyond the control Of the agent, his farm
ers, and the native police, and are commit-
ting dcpredations on the property OF set
tiers near their reservation. 300 troops
from Fort Robinson passed through Chad
ron, Neb., en- route for the scene of trouble.
Troops are also on the way from Forts Onia-
ha, Meade, Mckinney, and other points.
About 1000 soldiers Will be on the ground.
Troops are ordered out to Pine Ridge
Agency from Fort Robinson. Neb. They
go from the post to Rushville by rail and
there start north for the reservation.
Nearly hundred settlers came to Man.

Joined by n Living Link.

Little Matilda Oresch, of Detroit, Mich,
had her scalp and left ear torn off by having
her hair caught in a shaft. The scalp re-
fused to knit and the doctors decided that
live flesh must be engrafted. Matilda's sis
ter Emma volunteered to give the flesh.
The two children were laid side by side on
the operating table and piece Of flesh by
8 inches was laid back on Emma's left
breast The other girl was then placed
close up to her sister and the severed end Of
the flesh stitched to one side Of the place
where the scalp had been torn away. The
two girls were bound together, one side Of
the flesh cut from Emma being stitched to
Matilda's face, the other side being uncut
on Emma's left breast. The doctors say it
is the only operation of the kind ever per-
formed and expect that the flesh being kept
alive on Emma's breast will grow on Ma
tilda's head, and that ut the end offour days
they can BIO separated.

Suicide and Murder.

At Kansas City Joseph Boyd made des-
perate and probably successful effort to Kill
his wife and baby and ended by putting two
bullets through himself. Boyd was a
laborcr, but had been without work and his
family was penniless. None Of them had
any food, and hunger, coupled with his IN
ability to get work, crazed Boyd.
While his wife was nursing the baby
Boyd stole quietly up behind her and, plac-
ing revolver against her head, pulled the
trigger. He then struck the child, only 10
weeks old, with the butt Of the pistol. 1t
inflicted severe scalp wound. Mrs. Boyd
started to run from the house with the
child in her arms, but her infuriated hus-
band picked her and the child up and threw
them to the sidewalk q dozen feet below.
where she struck, stunned and unconscious.
Her cries attracted Ne big crowd but the
crazed man, pistol In one hand and nm open
razor in the other, defiod any one to enter.
He barred oil the doors. There were few
minutes silence and the report of two pis
toll shots was heard. Boyd had q rope
hanging from rafter with which to strangle
himself in case the pistol shot failed. A
bloody razor lay at his side.
Before he expired Boyd said that few
years ago he broke into house on Archer
avenue, Chicago, and took lot of money
and chattlels, which he divided with his
brother, Tony Boyd, now OF Chicago. He
further explained that he was an Anarchist,
but that several Chicago societies to which
he applied for membership denied him nd
mittance.

Troops from both the East and the West
have been pushed on TO Rushvillc. That ID
the nearest point on the Fremont Elkhorn
and Missouri Valley railroad to the Pine
Ridge Agency. About 900 men have reached
that point.
A column OF troops went intocamp about
ten miles from Pine Ridge. The officers
are prepared for what seems now to be
certain combat. Many OF the friendly Indi-
ans have left the agency and are now en-
camped at Rushvilie. They have significd
their intention OF aiding the whites. There
Is much uneasiness among the settlers In
rthwestern Nebraska and Southwestern
Dakota, but the arrival Of tho troops has
averted furious stampede.
A correspondent talked with an intclli-
gent Arickaree youth. He said:

their rides"
He was asked II the recent prairie fires
which destroyed tens of thousand OF dollars
worth of cattle were set by the Sioux. He
replied that they did not say that they had
set them, but after the fire every
Sioux went out to "ierk" beef, and
they have now enough beef to leave with the
squaws aud papooses to last during long
campaign. The Sioux say they have the
white mans meat to eat while making war
on the white man. The Sioux expect tho
Messiah every day.

Tho preparations to crush the ghost
dancers and settle the Messiah craze on the
Pine Ridge Agency In South Dakota still
continue. but no steps against the Indians
have US yet been made. The situation IL
still delicate one and row with the Sioux
might be precipitated any day. Along the
line OF Wolf Creek, near the agency, the
groups Of Indian tepees have been growing.
Rations OF coffee. sugar, -four. and pork
were shoveled out to the squaws, who were
formed In a ragged and psrtI-colored line
in front OF the commissary building. Food
has brought the Indians In great numbers.
IL IL estimated that $500 to 1000 OF the 5000
people on the reservation are camped with
in sound Of Uncle Sans bugles. Those
who are not there are the ghost-dancing
braves. The bucks are to be seen about the
camps more than formerly, but the prcdon-
derance OF women and the absence q young
warriors are still plainly marked.
There is not the slightest doubt that the
ghost dance troubles on the Agency are to be
settled once aud for all. A long train of
pack-mules marched into camp from Rush.
Vile. They wero followed In the course Of
an hour by u troop OF the Ninth Cavalry,
and two more companies Of the Second In
fantry camejn soon afterward. 1t Is said
other troops have been ordered there and
that there will be from 1000 to 100 soldiers
at the agency prepared to enforce any order
or measure Of discipline against the ghost
dancers.
