Constables Killed by Indians.

BAKERSFIELD, Cal, July 6.-Friday last
Constables John Powers and Sam Gam,
with Mr.. Mccoy, livery man of Lemoore,
went out in Mojave desert near Coyote
holes to arrest Indians charged with firing
a haystack. A fight ensued, and Powers
and Mccoy were killed, also two Indians
and two horses. CAMS moustache was
shot of, but he managed to get Powers
horse, his own having been killed, and rode
to the south fork Of Kern river for help.
Twelve men went back with him. The two
Indians who were killed were found buried
in the sand; the body of Powers was found
with his throat cut from ear to ear; the
flesh was torn from McCoy's face in
threads. Powers was a single man; Nc
Coy leaves wife aud six children.
Kiowa, the ring leader of the Indians is a
bad character. He and his two sons were
concerned in the murder of an Indian not
long ago. He had a personal grudge against
Powers. A posse of thirty men has gone
in pursuit, but the Indians are well
mounted and armed, and it is feared more
blood will be shed. There were six Indi-
ans in the first party, but there are perhaps
a hundred more in the vicinity and several
hundred more between there and Inyo
county.

ence relative to the dismissal Of Bank Elk
aminer Drew was made public to-day June

ing his attention to the fact that in his re-

FEMALE DUELIST'
An American Beauty Challenges
a French Baron.
Miss Stevenson Resents the Sighting Re
marks OF Baron Saint Croix and Desires
to Exchange Shots With Him.

Especial TO THE Observation-Disclosures Cable. ]
PARIS, July 6.-Nliss Stevenson, a we'll
known American beauty. who is now here,
has startled Paris by challenging Baron
Saint Croix to a duel with pistols. There
was no mistake about the serious nature of
the challenge either. The baron had in
suited her by certain levity of speech and
the lady determined to make an example Of
him. 1t had become too much the fashion
for men of title to imagine that eve ry Am
erican woman was hunting for the position
which said title was supposed to confer,
and consequently they subjected the ladies
to remarks such as they would not dare ad-
dress to men of the worle. Miss Stevenson
is an excellent shot, a fact with which NJ.
LIE Baron must have been acquainted, for
he backed out with very humble apology.
II would i'll become. him, he declared, to
meet a woman in a duel but he wis he'd
above all else to declare he had not pur-
posely used the word that caused Miss
Stevenson annoyance. the lady feels very
much hurt nevertheless, and it will not be
surprising if she selects somebody else to
fight the baron for her. She said: 81 wish
brother were here"

Blaine's Health Again.

Special 70 TIE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
New YORK, July Ga World special,
Washington, says private advices from the
family to friends in this city with regard
to Mr. Blaine's health, indicate the secre-
tary is in precarious condition. Mr.
Blaine's friends have been very apprehen-
sive since he left here that his true condi-
ton while in New York was under
estimated, aud that while he was confined
to his room in that city he was a very sick
man. Mr.. Blaine's family have always
maintained the utmost secrecy whenever
the secretary has been indlsposed. On
several occasions when MIR. Blaine was
confined to his house in this city and
enough 20 require the daily attendance of
physicians, visitors was informed that the
secretary was in good health and was
simply resting after the studious labors of
the state department On one occasion
inOeed, Mr.. Blaine was said by the servants
at his house on Lafayette place to be out
riding, when, as a matter Of fact, he was
confined to his bed with DIR. McGruder, his
family physician, calling twice. MIR.
Blaine's friends here do not care to talk
ABOUT his illness, but among themselves
they do not hesitate TO say he is
far too sick to resume the active
management of the state department
within the next six months. Exactly
what ailment he is afflicted with no one
seems to know. He appears to be suffer
ing from over work, but his friends de-
clare with much emphasis his mental con-
dition was never better. They scout the
idea that his mind is not as bright aad "a
vigorous as it has ever been. Those who
know MIR. Blaine best and who understand
the political situation here are confident
that the secretary's resignation cannot long
be delayed. They feel sure he will leave
the department by the first OF the new
year. BY that time the present negotia-
lions looking to the ratification of reci-
procity treaties with several South Ameri-
can rehublics, including Mexico, Venezuela
and San Domingo will have been com
pletcd Speculation IS again rife as to
who may be Mr.. Blaine's successor in the
even. OF his withdrawal from the state
department. Everything now points
toward the choice OF Senator Sherman.
There are reasons for and against the
selection Of the Ohio Senator. out he seems
to De by far the most available man.

sion which reveals the fact that there was
q regular robbers reost" at No. 60 Milton
avenue, in front of which the murder was
committed. 1t was filled up with under
ground passages in various directions, to
facilitate the escape of robbers in case OF
police raid. The neighbors have been so
terrorized by the gang that no one had
dared inform the police Of the doings in
the vicinity. The police had for sometime
been trying to locate the gang. 1t is be-
lieved it was by the members of this gang
that Lieutenant of Police Barcal was shot

He found two men endeavoring to break
into house and tried to arrest them, but
was shot down.

learned up to date. Considerable excite
ment was occassioned by a report that
Conductor Boynton's report Of the tickets
showed twelve people were yet unac-
counted for, though some may have left
without making themselves known. Con-
ductor Boynton is firmly of the opinion
others were entirely consumed in the fire
and that his son, who was the negligent
fireman supposed to have been the cause of
the wreck, was one of the victims. The
inquest may develop some sensational
facts. Those who visited the wreck to-
day noticed pieces of burned flesh lying
