Reeve and wife left for New Y ork On
Thursday night to attend the funeral.
On New Y ears eve considerable ex-
element was caused by the report that
F. D. Lapping. a journeyman csrpen-
ter, had shot two men ia their office on
Washington avenue. The victims OF
his wrath turned out to be Victor
Heath and Harry Merrick who were
working in their Office at the time. 1t
appears that Lapping's furniture was
seized to satisfy debt while he was
away, and that his family was in des-

not vet been arrested. and the wounded
men, though suffering intense pain, are

Adam A. McOann Dead.

We regret to announce the death OF
Adam A. McCann which occurred at
9 clock last Wednesday night at the
family residence, 1900 Park Ave. His
death was the RESULT of iuj re-
ceiyed in fallif e down the stairs of the
Weekly Post Office on Sunday after
noon, Dec. 22. when his skull was frac.
tured. MI. McCann was the business
manager of the paper. His relatives
believe he had bsen injured before he
reached the office. aud Otto Grethen,
the publisher Of the Post, states that
when the gamblers learned that they
were to be written up, a representative
Of the faculty Offered good sum of
money to keep silent on their duings.
As far as eau be learned there is little,
if any, ground for foul plav. About
eight years ago Mr.. McCann started an
Irish American j ,urnal in this city.
1t was called the Celtic World. aud con
tinued in existence for about one year.
Later he was municipal court officer
and took prominent part in politics
He was of an inventive turn of mind
and was quite energetic in any work he
undertook to do.
His many friends deplore his antimely
death and console with his /: ff1lcted
family. The funeral takes place to day

The remnant fed, and the battle be-
came hunt.
1t was now that the artillery was
called into requisition. Before the
fighting was so close that the guns
could not be trained without danger of
death to the soldiers. Now with the
Indians flying where they might. it was
easier to reach them. The Gatling and
Hotchkiss guns were trained. and then
began a heavy firing which lasted half
an hour, with frequent heavy vollevs OF
musketry aud cannon. 1t was war of
determination with the troopers. 1t
was difficult to restrain the troops.
Tactics were almost abandoned. About
the only tactic was tokill while it could
be done wherever an Indian could be
seen. Down into the creek and up
over the bare hills thev were followed
by artillery and musketry hce, and for
several minutes the engagement went
on until not live ,dian was in sight
Reliable news is also at hand that
Col. Henry is now approaching the
agency with 700 Indians captured in the
Bad Lands. This is believed to include
all the remnant of the rebels on the
reservation and hopes are entertained
of a speedy settlement. 1t has cost the
lives of about 250 Indians and twenty
five or thirty soldiers killed and wound
ed to effect this result, if, indeed, 1t may
be said that peace is yet established.
The body of Capt, Wallace and the
other dead soldiers arrived here at noon
from the agency and will be shipped to
Fort Robinson. the nearest military
post. Rushville is crowded with set
tiers, The churches and all public
rooms are thrown open and 10 effort is

A TERRIBLE INDIAN FIGHT.
Details of the Battle Between the Unitec
States Troops and the Treaoherous
Indians,

! Indians.
The correspondent of the Omaha Bee
gives the following account of the battle
between the UnlJed States soldiers and
Indians on Wounded Kaee creek on
last Monday:
In the morning as soon as the ordin-
ary military work of tbs early day was
done. NJ j: Whitesides determined upon
clisarmlug the Indians at once. and at
6 O'clock the camp Of B g Foot was sur
rounded bY the Seventh cavalry and
raylor's scouts. Tue Indians were Sit
ting in a half clIcle. Four Hotcbkiss
guns were placed upon hill about 200
yards distant.
Every preparation was made, not es~
pecially to fight, but to show the In"
dians the futllitv Or resistance. They
seemed to recogni Ze this fact when
Mai. Whltesides ordered them to come
up twenty at a time and give up their
arms, they came, bat not with their
guns IN sight. OF the drst twenty, but
two or three displayed arms. These
they gave up sutlenlv, and, observing
the futility of that method OF procedure.
Maj. Whltes:des ordered detachment
of K and A troops. on foot, to enter the
tepees and search them.
This work had hardly been entered
upon when the 120 desperate Indians
turned upon the soldiers, who were
gathered closely about the tepees, and
Immediately storm of firing was
poured uuon the military. It was as
though the order to search had been a
signal.
The latter not anticipating any such
action, had been gathered in very close
", and the first ficing was terribly dis
astrous to them. The reply was i'm
mediate, however, and IN an instant it
seemed that the draw in which the
Indian camp Was set was a smoker
Vesuvlus.
The soldiers, maddened at the sight
OF their falling comrades. hardly await
ed the command, aud in moment the
whole trout was sheet of fire. above
which the smoke rolled. Obscuring the
central scene from view. Through this
horrible curtain single Indians could be
seen at times flying before the fire.
but after the first discharge from the
carbines of the troopers there were few
of them left.
They fell on all sides like grain in the
course of scythe. Indians and SOL
diers laY together, and wounded fought
on the ground. Off through the draw
toward the bluffs the few remaining
warriors fed. Turning occasionally to
fire, but now evidently caring more for
escape than battle.
Ouiy wounded Indians seemed pos
sessed Of the courage Of devils. From
the ground where they had fallen they
continued Jofre until their ammunition
was gone OF until killed by the soldiers.
Both sides forgot everything excepting
only the loading and discharging of
guns. 1t was only in the early part of
the affraY that hand-t to hand fighting
was seen.
The carbines were dubbed. sabers
cleaned and war clubs clrcled in the
air ard came down like thunderbolts.
But tins was only fer short time. The
indians could otstand the storm from
the soldiers. They had not hoped to-

Bad Business for women.

A concern trying to introduce new
baking powder has adopted methods to
bring it before the public that are liable
to get it's members, as well as Its en-
ployes, into trouble. One of their
schemes is to send women from house
to house to defame other brands and
falsely charge that they are adulterated.
This charge being untrue, the women
are performing an illegal act for which
they are liable to arrest and imprison-
ment. The character of baking powder
that would be sold by men who, for
mercenary purposes, will employ women
to do such dishonorable and dangerous
work as this, can be imagined.
There is more serious difficulty,
however, in view. These agents person
ally and in advertisements assure the
public that all the ingredients OF this
new powder are printed upon the label
OF each can, and sell it upon this guar
antee. Some purchasers have learned
from the government reports that this
powder has in its composition other
things, notably lime and sulphuric acid.
1t is not pure powder, and being sold
by means of false statements and mis-
representation, it's agents are already in
trouble. A false label on any package
makes the sale of it illicit by the retailer
and wholesaler alike.
