Progress of the Schools.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-Dr Dorchester,
Superintendent of Indian Schools, in his

opened at the following places: Santa Fe, n.
M. Pierre, S. D.; Ft. Totten, n. D.; Carson
City, New; Ft. Mojave, Ariz., and Phoenix,

has taken place in the Government schools,

of the leading farmers of Irwin county, died
at his home yesterday, the result of an i'm
promptu duel fought on Sunday. For some
time ill-feeling had existed between Dorm
ing and w. B. Fussell, which grew out of
the recent murder by masked men of the
deputy sheriff of Irwin county. Dorming
had charged that Fussell was one of the as
sassins
On Sunday Fussell was in attendapce at
the neighborhood Methodist Church, of
which he was a class leader In the midst
of the services Dorming drove up in his
buggy. Fussell went out to meet him. The
two men talked for about five minutes,
when, simultaneously, shooting began,
breaking up the congregation. Fussell was
shot in the arm and side. Dorming re-
ceived a bullet under the right eye, this
bullet going almost entirely through his
head, resulting in his death. Fussell's
wound is also believed to be fatal.

bed at the formers house. Wade and John
Fielder went there and discharged their
guns into the house, instantly killing
Yonce Thompson. Wade Fielder was tried
first He pleaded not guilty, but the evil
dence was reasonably conclusive that Wade
and John Fielder did the shooting. John
was then put on trial. pleaded guilty and
made a statement to the jury to the effect
that he alone did the shooting to scare
Beasley; that Wade Fielder was not present
and had nothing to do with the killing.

prisoners insisted that they did not
intend to kill any person, but only intended
to frighten Beasley.
