case Of death from cigarette smoking is re-
ported from PEBBLES. Ohio. Last Wednesday
evening Mr.. 4. VI. Bell. prominent young
attorney of Washington city arrived in this city
in good health and with prospects Of q
successful life before him. He spent Wednes-
day night very pleasantly and left on the MORN
ing train over the Cincinnati. Portsmouth and
Virginia railroad for PEBBLES. Adams county,
where he was TO collect evidence and take affida-
Wits in an important suit in which he was
an attorney. He arrived at PEBBLES and regis
tered at the Vernon House. As some of the
important parties he WAS to meet could not be
seen until night he sought to pass away the
time in smoking cigarettes, and during the day
and evening he smoked a dozen boxes OF the
poisonous narcotiZers.
such wholesale consuming OF cigarettes
astoni-hed the landlord, and Bell laughed at
the surprise he had given his host and retired
at O'Clock Thursday night.

the door of Bell 5 room no response was heard
and all efforts to arouse him were futile. so the

The Trouble Among the Utes.

The officials of the Indian bureau have not as
yet received any information regarding the
threatened outbreak Of the White River Utes in
Utah, as telegraphed from Meeker, Col, last
night.
The White Rivers and their neighbors, the
Uncompahgres, are regarded by the depart
ment as the most uncivilized and dangerous
bands of Indians with which they have to deal,
and for many years past it has been thought
prudent to keep q force of United states
troops at Fort Duchense, which is on the I'm
compahgre reservation and within easy reach
to protect the settlers in case Of an uprising.
These bands have committed the most
atrocious crimes known in Indian history
and their record from the earliest has been one
of treachery, characterization and bitter pro-
tests against restraining authority. They we're
the leading conspicuous actors in the Meeker
and Thornburgh massacres in 1879 when the
most revolving and cruel tortures were inflicted
upon their victims.
In view Of the present disturbed condition
Of affairs on these reservations it is be-
lieved that the order issued some time
ago by the War Department abandon
ing Fort Duchense and removing the
troops therefrom will be resciuded at least for
the present. The designations OF Agent Waugh

moving the troops have not been received IN

and California.
The growth of this branch of the national de-
