PUEBLO, Colo, Jan. l0.-The most
brutal murder ever committed in Pueblo
occurred shortly after last midnight. VIII
II. Davis, a dissolute loafer and political
ward striker, borrowed a shotgun last
night and repaired to his nome on West
Sixth street about midnight. In the little
cabin opposite the door his mother, Mrs.
Carrie Ormsby, a mulat.o, was lying in
bed asleep. Jim Arnold, a white man,
who has lived with Mrs. Ormsby for many
ye0re, vat abed in an adjoining room.
Davis aroused them by pounding at the
door. Arnold went 10 the door. but re
fused TO open it on finding that Davis was
there, w%hereupOn Davis fired the gun
with the muzzle close to the door. The
heavy charge Of shot pierced a ragged
hole IN the door, tearing the flesh
from Aruold's right arm, and pass
ing on, struck Mrs. Ormsby in the
breast, instantly killing her. Arnold ran
into the next room aud turned to close
the partition door. when Davis fred again,
tearing the entire flesh from the face of
Arnold, who fell back into a corner. The
shots aroused the entire neighborhood,
which is thIckly settled with negroes, but
they stood about afraid to venture near.
Davis walked across the street to the home
of a married sister, called and told her to
20 over and attend to his mother. He
then went to the house OF another sister
and threatened to shoot her unless she
stopped screaming. Returning TO the
street, he was arrested and taken to jail.
On the way he said he did not intend to
kill his mother, but that he had been in
tending to kill Arnold for several years.
Davis had repeatedly demanded money
from Arnold and his mother. often threat
ening vengeance when refused. He is a
worthless fellow. and will receive little at
tention from anyone but the hangman.
The inquest held to-day resulted in a YER
diet of premeditated murder.

Lively Times nj a Dance.

CHICAGO, ILL.,. Jan. lO.-FranciscO
J~aunuel and F. Salvini keep a saloon in
the center of the Italian settlement. Last
night a party was given to their country
men, aud about $50 Italians OF both sexes
were gathered in the room 10 the rear OF
the saloon. Salvador DE Melo was en-
gagged to marry one OF Mrs. Salyini's
daughters aud Frank Jannuel was engaged
to marry another. The latter tired OF his
sweetheart and began making love to the
other. He wanted De MelO to change,
but the latter was too much devoted to
listen to argument. While preparations
were being made for the dance Jannuel
entered the saloon with his Tour brothers
aud pounced upon De MelO. who was
sitting at a table. De Melo whipped out
a razor and made a gallant fight. jan
nuel was laid out at the first stroke. The
brothers were doing their best to carve
De Melo into small strips when De
Melo's mother rushed in and tried TO save
her relative. Some one gave her a
slash over the wrist, severing the artery,
and she withdrew yelling at the top of her
voice. BY this time everybody in the
hall was slashing and stabbi0g his neigh
Dor. Mrs. Salvini turned out the lights
aud stationed herself behind the bar aud
began hurting beer glasses into the crowd.
This resulted in greater confusion. aud
had it not been ior the ARRIVAL of a wagon
load Of policemen there is no doubt but
some of the combataDts would have been
killed. As it was not less than twenty re-
ceived dangerous cuts aud wounds, but so
far as can be learned DE Melo's wounds
are the only ones likely to prove fatal.
Jannuels lett arm and hand we're seri-
ously cut and be received a number of
cuts on the face and chest. Mrs. Salvini
was cut on the left hand, and one Of her
daughters was knocked down with a chair.
Deiono Jannuel was cut twice in the back
and his brother Joe received a severe
wound or his right arm. Several arrests
were made.

WI Not supporr Palmer.

SPRrNGFIELD, ILL.,, Jan. 10. The
standing OF the three farmer members of
the lower house of the general assembly
in the coming senatorial fight is no longer
one of uncertainty. While it is not yet
known who their candidate will be, it is
certain that it will not be John NJ.
Palmer. Representative Cockrell, in an
interview this evening, said that under no
circumstances would he or his colleagues
support Palmer. They had no objection
to Palmer particularly except that he
stands on the old Democratic doctrine
that the government can make nothing
legal tender but gold and silver. What
we desire is Il per capita circulation and
we want an American system of finance.
We have come to the conclusion
that money is neither silver nor gold nor
any other material. This old Democratic
idea of money. which IS also endorsed by
the Republican party, is a fraud. Cock
rell further said that it IS their irrevocable
decision not to support any caucus nomi-
nee of the old parties or any man if they
have any doubt as &c his views on the
question Of money. We will elect our
man or force the Republican Of Demo
cratic party to adopt our policy.

PITTsBURG. Jan. 2O.-The arrest of
two Italians here today known as Fred
SanRo and Rago Monorl developed a
queer story. They were both desperately
in love with the daughter of an old man
named Frank Succeri, and they were ap
parently receiving equal favor at her
hands. To settle the matter they agreed
to leave it to the girls father. The old
man was hard TO please and told the
young men that the one who would bring
him the most money within a week should
have his daughter. At the end of the
week the two men presented themselves
with their offerings to the old man. Mo

acknowledged defeat and pocketed his
money. Love for the girl of his heart
was TOO strong, however, to be so easily
defeated. and Sango induced the girl to

man was arrested today as he was coming

matter was settled this afternoon by the
return OF the money, and both men were
released from custody.

R~EPEkTANT REDSKINS,
The Hostiles Will Return to

Precautions Taken to Guard
Against Surprise.
Gen. Miles Will Not Dis4rm
the Indians at Present.

PINE RIDGE, Jan. l0-A courier from
the hcsules To Gen. Miles, at 1880 to
night. announced they had reached the
mission about five miles distant and that
they would reach here tomorrow. The
greatest uncertainty prevails here as u
theo outcome of tomorrow.
The greatest precautions have been
tax. II guard the agency against any
surprises. . The brcastworks lave been
strengthened, artillery has been placed
on N sta commanding the friendly camp
and the roads leading to the agency,
Hotchkiss guns cover the other AZ
proaehes and d~etachments OF the 9TH
cavalry and the LIST. infantry are stationed
at the most advantageous FONTS. This
afternoon plcktts were sent ont quite a
distance :rUm the agency aud Indian
police snd scouts about the agency have
been reinforced BY II number of white
soldiers. IL WAS deemed better 10 do this
than to relieve the Indians altogether as
at tirst contemplated. Gen. Miles and staff
Inspected ali the approaches and defances
thus afternoon. The general expressed
himself satisfied and nothing now remains
save u wait for what the arrival of the
hosiiles may bring forth. 1t is learned
tonight that Gen. Miles does DOT contem-
plate dlsarming the Indians at present.
aud it is lntimated that the dlsaRreeaole
task will be left to the leaders of the
various banda.
COuriers in tndsy from Gen. Brolke's
comnard. gu White Clay creek, brought
word tnat all were well and enduring the
cold weather with patience.
This afternoon another iduaw who was
wounded at Wounded Knee died, and
while she wal being buried two more
were brought To the agency in a TERRIBLE
condition. They sal they we're wounded
in the fight. dragged themselves off to
a ravine and sheltered themselves as best
they could. During the blizzard since
that tine they have been crawling to the
agency, They said that four other women
and three men. all wounded. who had
started out with them, had died on the
road.
The officers conducting the inve.tiga-
ton into the Wounded Knee fight will
complete their work tomorrow and submit
their report to Gen. Miles. who will for
ward 1t , the president.
To a correspondent of the Associated
Press. today, one of the officers of the eth
cavalry said: The stDry that we shot
down ome and children is a lie. The
fact is, nothing was left undone t. save
them. | heard many men cry ont, Don't
shoot. that's a woman The people who
killed the women anil children were the
Indians themselves"
Fewer Indians came in today than on
any me dav dnring the week. Most OF
the strarrl"rs have been squaws.
Gen. M,lrs has decided to separate the
Ogalallas irNm the Brulcs when they
come in. as To former are SAID to be
strongly Inclined tn peace. while the latter

Mother and Daughter Murdered.

ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. IO.-Mrs. Il. G.
Peters and her 10 Year-old daughter
Agner, were burned to death alter mid
night. The lady was a well-to do English
woman; who had Just lately invested here
and established her home. When the
flames were discovered by an inmate of
an adjoining room he found that they had
begun in Mrs. Peters room. and that
it was too late to aid her. People on the
outside who first detected the fire saw
four men run away from the building in
different directions. This raised the
theory of robbery, murder and arson.
Bloodhounds we're secured and put upon
the trail. The men were tracked to the
railroad station, where all trace was lost.
AS the murdered oma had a large sum
of money, no trace of which can now be
found. there Is every reason to believe
that desperadoes from a distance had
carefully planned the crime.

PINE RIDGE, Jan lO.-The report yes
terday that the hosules had at length
made mp their minds T. return to the
agency, Notwithstanding it is but a rep
etitioo OF what has been before an
nounced, attracts general attention.. 1t is
cording to the alleged programme, the
hostiles are 10 camp tonight at the mission
near the scene of the engagement between
Gen. ForsS the and the Indians on the
18th instant. They will be met by a de-
tschment from the agency aud escorted TO
this place Ii has not yet been determined
when or where the Indians will be DIS
armed 10 fact, it is generally believed
that when disarming is attempted trouble

tiles will not be able to determine whether
thev should be deprived o. their arms aud
ammunit on, while the alleged friendlies
may traverse the agency as they do now;
almost armed to the teeth. The selection
of 4 spot N which to disarm them is also
n serious question. The work cannot be
done 10 the mid lie OF the agency, neither
can IL be done where the gruund is broken.
The latter place would be the To-

in case of treachery great damage might
be doae Meanwhile the Gordon of troops
10 the several commands of Brooke, Carr,
Wheaton, Illsley, Sanford and Penny is
drawing closer around the hostiles, Gen.
Miles t,day having issued orders for an
3advance on all sides from three to six
miles. This move is being made with
care. The principal idea is to keep the
Indians moving to card the reservation,
and at the same tune tn aIloS them to
halt on no spot on which they might have
an advantage over the troops.
Gen. Miles has ordered the displace-
ment Of the Indian police, who have been
on guard duty both at the stations and the
post around the agency. He will supply
their places with soldiers. This move is
Is variously interpreted, but it seems
patent, however, that the general wants
only white men on duty. No reports have
been received as to whose houses were
destroyed Friday at Wounded Knee. At
this dist ince it is considered the work OF
the hostiles, and is not viewed as fatora-
bile evidence of the Indians good will.

PARIS, Jan. l0.-A question of much
interest now is how the invitation Of the
United States asking France to be repre-
scented at the worlds fair in Chicago is to
be received. The matter will necessarily
come before the ministry first. Uudoubt-
edly the Mckinley bill will be brought up.
A prominent member Of the government
said. however, that they know tie Nc
Kinley taliff does not treat France so
severely as some countres-Germany, for
instance. This may tend TO give a more
friendly reception to the invitation than
would otherwise be the case. Further
more, the recent elections in the United
States lead us to hope for a change in the
course of the next congress. Then, it
would be bad policy for France to decline
to be represented at the lair, and bearing
in mind how literally the Americans
%patronlzed the Paris exposition, he SAID
he thought the invitation would meet
with good will
