wood, at Napa, Monday night, were ar
rested in this city this evening, by Po :
lice Officers Shook and Wilson. The
men were covered with mud, and badly
frighte ned when arrested. They drove
into Washington, Yolo county, this af-
ternoon, put up the horse and buggy
there and walked across the bridge to
this city. The horse and buggy were

was killed and himself wounded, yester-

deed. The sheriff today sent out de-
scriptions of the men, and with all his
force.is vigilantly hunting them.

The condition OF the general last even

CUSTER'S AVENGERS.
THE INDIANS VERSION OF THE
WOUNDED KNEE FIGHT.
Tho Soldiers Accused of Wantonly Slaugh-
tering Defenseless Squaws and Chill
dren-Two Ways of Telling Story.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE Indian
conference closed today. and the Indians
will start home Friday. The feature of
today's talk was the story of the fight
at Wounded Knee.
Turning Hawk said when the men had
delivered up their guns they were sep
arated from their families and taken to
a certain spot. A crazy mana young
man of very bad influence fired his gun,
killing an officer. The other Indians
began drawing their knives, although
they were exhorted from all sides to de-
sist, and firing began Immediately on
the part Of the soldiers. All the men
who were in a bunch were killed right
there, and those who escaped that
first fire. got into "a rayine,
and as they went along the
ravine for a long distance were pursued
on all sides. by the soldiers and shot
down. The women had no firearms to
shoot with; they were standing off at a
different place, and when the firing be-
gan, those Of the men who escaped the
first volley, went in one direction up the
ravine, and the women went in a differ
ent direction, through an open field, but
met the same fate as the men.
American Horse said when the firing
began, the people standing imme-
dlately around the man who fred the
first shot were killed, and then the sol
diers turned their guns on the women
who were in the lodges, standing there
under a flag of truce. OF course.
as soon az they were fred
upon they fled. There was a
woman with an infant in her arms,
killed as she almost touched the flag OF
truce. Her child, not knowing the
mother was dead, was still nursing.
That was very sad sight. Women,
fleeing with babes on backs, were killed
together with their babes, and women
heavy with child were also killed. After
most Of the Indians had been killed, a
cry was made that all those not killed
or wounded should come forth, and they
not wounded, came out of their places
Of refuge, and as soon as they came in
sight, a number OF soldiers surrounded
and butchered them.
Commissioner Morgan said to the in
terpreter: II wish you would say to
him that these are very serious charges
to make against the army. I do not
want any statements that are not true,
and want any one here that feels that
these statements are too strong to cor
rect them"
Amerlcan Horse said: "Of course, it
wonA have been all right if only men
had been killed; but the fact Of the kill
ing Of women and young boys and girls,
who are to make up the future strength
Of the Indian people, we feel very sore

CLEVELAND ON SILVER.
THE Elk PRESIDENT OPPOSED TO
FREE COINAGE.
A Large Anti-Silver Nesting at Cooper
Union--Abram S. Hewitt Is Also
Against the Pending Legislation.

New YORK, Feb. 11.-Several hundred
people assembled at Cooper Union
tonight to oppose the free silver bill, in
response to call of the Reform club.
Among letters OF regret received, was
one from ex-President Cleveland, in
which he says, in part:
1t surely cannot be necessary for me
to make formal expression of my
agreement with those who believe the
greatest perils would be initiated by the
adoption of the scheme embraced
in adopting the measure now pend
ing in congress. for the unlimited
coinage OF silver at our mints. II
we have developed "a unexpected ca
pacity for the assimilation Of largely
increased volume Of currency, and even
if we have demonstrated the usefulness
ofsnch an incresse: these conditions
fall far short Of insuring us against dis
aster, If in the present situation we en-
ter upon the dangerous and reckless
experiment OF free, unlimited and inde-
pendent silver coinage"
Resolutions condemning unlimited
silver coinage were passed.
Ex-Secretary OF the Treasury Fair
child was the chief speaker in opposition
to the pending bill.
HEARINGS AT wAsHINGToN.
WASHINGTON, Feb. IL. The house
coinage committee gave hearing to-
night to a delegation from Philadelphia,
and another from the New York cham
Der OF commerce, in opposition to the
pending free coinage bill.
A PENNsYLvANIAN's OPINION.
A letter was read ON the subject OF
free coinage, from Robert Peterson, OF
Philadelphia, grandson OF the mint di-
rector under President Jefferson, and an
acknowledged financial authority. He
took the ground that no Special harm
would result to the commercial interests
of the country. with either gold or silver
7 as a money basis, but with two stand
ards, one or the other must go to a pre-
MUM, and thus destroy the financial
equilibrium of the country,
ABRAM $. HEwITr's VIEWS.
A long letter from Abram S. Hewitt
was read. He, though silver mine
owner himself, and smelter of silver,
saw great danger from the passage OF
the pending measure. 4 He believed in
silver to a certain point, just so long as
the danger line is not passed that drives
gold to premium. He expressed fear
that the line would be passed before
many years, even at the present rate oi
coinage.

DEAF MUTEs HAVE A ROW.
A Stolen Overcoat Leads to Fight
and Arrests.

Last Sunday man named Ward, who
lives in lodging house on Second street
near Los Angeles, missed an overcoat
from his room, and reported the matter
to the police. AT the same house
number Of deaf mutes have quarters,
and two Of them, named G. J.. Vincent
and Eliza Cretzer, were suspected Of en-
tering their fellow boarder's room.
Yesterday one Of the mutes named
Chas. Lowell got into row with another
Of the unfortunates, and made the lat
ter's face look like piece Of raw beef
in the fight which followed. The police
were summoned, and while they were
arresting Lowell they thought they
might as we'll take along the two sus-
poets, Vincent and Cretzer, and hold
them until evidence could be found
against them for stealing Wards over
coat. Lowell was booked for battery
and the other two men are held at the
station on suspicion OF burglary.
One Of the latter shipped his trunk to
San Francisco day before yesterday by
express, and the stolen overcoat Is be-
lieved to be in it, together with his other
belongings. The trunk has been ordered
returned to this city, when q search for
the missing garment will be made.

American Horse-I was not there at q.
time before the burial of the bodies, but
l did go there with some Indian police
and many people from the agency, and
we went through the battlefield, and
saw where the bodies were, from the
tracks of blood.
The Rev. Mr.. Cook, a Sioux halfbreed,
pastor of the Episcopal church at Pine
Ridge, among other things said :. ssMuch
has been said about the good spirit with
which the members Of the Seventh cav
airy went into that action. It has been
said that the desire to avenge Custer'E
death was entirely absent from their
minds. In coming towards Chicago, in
company with General Miles, l talked
with one OF his own scouts who was
almost killed because he was compelled
to fly with the Indians, being fred upon
by the men whom he tried to serve and
help. He told me that after he recov-
cred from his fight, and succeeded
in getting amongst the soldiers after
they all gotin from killing Indians, an
officer of high rank, they did not know
who, came to him and said: Now we
have avenged Custer's death 2 and this
scoutlsaid to him: Yes, but you had
every cause to fight for your lives that
day. These poor Indian people did not
have that opportunity to protect and
fight for themselves. If this is an indi-
cation of the spirit Of number OF men
in that company, am sure the Seventh
cavalry did not 60 there with the kind
est Of motives, simply to bring these
poor people back"
After several others had spoken, the
commissioner declared the conference at
an end.

Census Of Farm Animals.

II WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.--Estimates of
the number Of farm animals made at
the end OF each year and returnable In
January to the department of agricul-
ture, show that there has been very lit
tie change, except on the Pacific coast
and in certain portions Of the Rocky
mountains where the winter of 1SS9-9O
was unusually severe. Losses were
especially heavy on the Pacific coast.
The estimated number OF sheep is 49,
43l 900. A tendency to increase num-
bers is seen in most states, though
heavy losses from the severe winter last
year on the Pacific coast, decreased the
aggregate.

Some Railroad Employees Supposed to
Be Implicated.

The four rolls of silks recovered by
Officers Bowler and Bosqui, near Sepul-
