Drunken Indian Militia.

| EVANSVILLE, lex, June 29.-Farm-
ers here to-day from near Healdton,
Chickasaw Nation, brings intelligence
concerning the Indian militia under
Gov. Byrd and troop of the United
States cavalry under Indian agent Ben
| nett, who have been securing the west
ern part of the Chickasaw country for
more than week past in search of in
truders, but have been unable to find a
single individual of that genus. Every
man has gone or has permit from
either the tribal permit collector or
one of his deputies. Agent Bennett, so
say these farmers, has become highly
disguised with the farce, and ON yester-
day the entire force went into camp
near the head water1f Rush creek,
and Bennett informed Byrd that unless
their much-talKed about intruders were
found or at least a portion of them, by the
26th inst. that he (Bennett) would or
der the government troops back to Fort
Sill, and that he would return to Mus
kogee and report the farcical campaign
to secretary Goble.
The most serious feature of the cam
paign so far has been those enacted by
the drunken Indian warriors.
Outrages were committed on the whites
by the Infatuated drunken bucks, so
say the Healdton farmers. They say
that between White Bead and Beef
Creek, not MANY miles from Healdton,
before meeting up with government
troops the Indian militia struggled over
several miles of country and defied all
efforts Of the officers to keep them in
rank. Some of the squad, drunk and
devilish, shot at cattle, dogs and
chickens, and most everything but
human targets that came in range.
Several animals were killed and
wounded. But the worst feature was
the indignities offered women along the
route.
In several instances, it is said, men,
bers of the band. in beastly state Of
intoxicatiou, rode bodily into the yards
of settlers and threatened the chastity
of their wives and daughters, terrify-
ing the women with their obscene and
profane remarks. Along the line of
march the women and children con-
cealed themselves, the report of the do
ings of the militia preceding them by
means of mounted farmer couriers. The
farmers in that vicinity became greatly
excited, and hastily organized for pro-
lection. Had Agent Bennett and Gov
ernor Byrd not succeeded in restoring
order and decencY among the militia |
before Beef creek was reached several |
hundred we'll armed white settlers |
would have endeavored to kill every /
one Of them. The men who compose
the militia. with few exceptions. are |
the most desperate and lawless Indians
in the Chickasaw nation, who, when
under the influence of bad fire water,
are veritable red devils. Had they not
met the soldiers at Parr there is a
strong likelihood that many would have
been bushwhacked by the citizens, who
are still highly indignant at the impo-
Sitions heaped upon them by the In
dams, and should the government
troops be taken away soon there is still
a likelihood that this band will be made
to feel the vengeance of these white
people so dastardly outraged. The
only thing preventing it will be
speedy disbanding of the warriors.

Milling Notes.

MINNEAPOLIS, June 29.-The amount
OF -four ground last week was somewhat
lighter, being 125, $50 barrels, against
133, 455 barrels the week before. Local
firms have obtained very low freight
rates on foreign shipments the past
week, and this enabled them to do a
little more export trade. Part of the
business done was in patents, though
the prices received would not more than
let the sellers out even.

A Big Salmon Cron.

This is great year for big crops.
Now it is the salmon crop that exceeds
anything in the history Of the country.
Puget Sound is reported to be SO filed
with salmon, making their annual run
to the sound shores and the fresh water
streams for feeding and spawning, that
the steamboats, seem to be floating on a
solid mass of fish. The paddles kill
hundreds of them and are choked with
their bodies. The sound steamer cap
tains describe the run as an unbroken
string of salmon thirty miles long, the
water for that distance being fairly alive
with them. ~.
Neither the oldest inhabitants nor the
aged Indians remember such big salmon
run. The result of the enormous run is
q big reduction in prices. Usually good
salmon sell for ten to twenty-five cents
apiece, but now at one cent each the
market is glutted with the finest quality
of fish. At Port Williams few days
ago two casts of a seine netted over
5000 fine salmon. Everybody is fishing.

"A Plague of Butterflies.

Munich has been invaded by an enor-

the species known as 'nonnenschmetter-

ago, attracted, as is supposed, by the
brilliancy of the electric lights The
walls of the houses before which electric
lamps were fixed were literally covered
with the butterflies. In several places
they forced their way through the doors
and windows and futtered around the
lights. In the Cafe Kaiserhof and the
Loewenbrau-Keller the intensity of the
light fascinated such swarms of the but
terfy '-nuns" that the devotees of King
Gambrinus found their hats and clothes
so thickly coated with the intruders that
they hurried out and left the invaders in
possession. In some places the lamps
were darkened by the mass of butterflies
clinging around them.--St. James Ga

Whore Caps Are Made.

New York furnishes headgear for
nearly nine-tenths of the American
heads that wear caps. Perhaps the in
habitants of this town think they have
seen a good many yachting caps within
the past few weeks, but as a matter of
fact the vogue of the yachting cap has
only just begun. 1t came from Europe,
took the Atlantic coast by storm and is
now sweeping westward toward the Pa
cific. Thousands of girls that never saw
navigable water will presently be look
ing saucily forth from beneath this
sailor headgear. Comparatively few caps
of any sort are sold in the east. Nearly
all of them go beyond the Alleghanies
and few are sent as far as the Sand
wich islands.-New York World.

constitute it? According to the last re
port by the commissioners the total
number of disabled, infrm, demented,
minor or delinquent persons under pub
lie charge in the workhouse, city hos

and on Blackwell's island amounted,
when the last census of them was taken,

This takes into account merely those

The MAVERICK Case.

LONDON, Nov. 3.-In the court of ap-
peals today argument was resumed in
the appeal of the executors of the will
of Maybrick. Sir Edward Clark, attor-
ney general, on behalf of the defend
ants, resumed his argument this morn
ing saying that, as the law did not per-
NIT the wife or other representative of
an insured person who committed sui
eide, to recover insurance money, the
law could not allow person to profit by
his or her own criminal act. The mas
ter on rolls, Lord Esher, in summing
up, said he thought the true construc-
tion of the policy was that the money
should be paid to the executors in trust !;
if that was done and receipt obtained,
the respondents were not bound to see
the trust fulfilled.
After further argument judgment was
reserved.
