AN INDIAN REVENGE.
A Tragedy in Two Acts, Which
Are Twenty Years Apart.

Are Twenty Years Apart.
From the San Francisco Chronicle.
A tragedy took place last Fri
day in Burrough Valley, locality
among the foothills of the Sierra
Nevada, which resulted in the
death of In dian Maze, a Digger.
about 40 years old.
This in itself would not be re
markable were it not that it is the
contamination of a fued of nearly
twenty years standing and the
revenge by an Indian who all this
time had been supposed dead by
the members of his tribe and had
been almost forgotten by his
people.
There is a piece of savage TO.
nance connected with it that
would figure well in the novel of
the border. The story, as told
here this morning, is that some
twenty years ago, or nearly that
long, two Indians, a, that time
savages, named Maze and Purrit.
were smitten with the charms of a
dusky maiden of their own tribe.
and inasmuch as they were unable
to settle the matter in the ordina-
~ ways of courtship, they decided
to settle it in combat. Without
any seconds or witnesses to take
note of the ARRAY they met one
day in Sycamore valley, a small
canyon which is still unsettled by
white men. Their weapons were
clubs and the fight was to finish.
and at it's close Indian Purrit Law
like one dead and his antagonist
went away victorious from the
scene of the conflict. He sup
posed he had killed his foe, but
the PROSTATE Indian was not in
the spirit land, but only stunned
by the blows of the club.
Whether Indian Maze won the
hand of the dusky maiden who
was the cause of the battle is not
stated in the information. 1t is
not essential to the story, but it
may be supposed that he did, and
that for the succeeding years she
was the queen Of his lovely wig
wan. .......
Purrit, the defeated Indian was
not dead, and after he regained
consciousness he made off, no one
knows where. His antagonist

sleeping with his fathers, and it
was so believed

the story. Nearly twenty years

heard of the affair.

more Canyon, were Mortified to
find the dead body of old Indian
Maze tic d hand and foot to log.
His death was due to a very small
wound in the jugglar vain made
by the point ola knife, or as there
is reason to believe, by horseshoe
nail gro und down to a sharp point.

The surroundings showed that a
terrible struggle had taken place,
and it was evident that old Maze
had been overpowered, tied firmly
to the log and then the sharpened
nail driven into the vain Of his
neck and he allowed to bleed
slowly to death. The deed had
evidently been done that day.
1t was a mystery, and the very
peculiar, and the cattle herders
spread the report. The Indians,
and there are many of them in
that locality, gathered from all
sides and set up their dismal
bowls and horrible lamentations
preparatory to burying the dead
brother. Gradually the affair be.

The defeated lover had plannee

hate through almost twenty years.
hiding his time TO strike the blow
which should balance accounts
between himself and his mortal
foe, according to the Indian style
of bookkeeping.
BY what means he had decoyed
old Maze into that glen-to the
very spot where the duel of years
before had taken place-is not
known. Pobably he lay in wait,
and overpowered the old man by
sheer strength, bound him fast
and then killed him. Neither is
1t known where he had remained
all the years. No tidings of him
had ever come back to his kindred
and they had long ago given him
up as dead, But they did not
reckon rightly, as the tragedy of
last Friday will show.
No trace of Purrit has been
found since. The indians have
searched for him through all the
thickets, but in vain. Perhas he
has gone back to the land where
he had hidden, and had found a
home during all the years in.
which he had been nursing his re-
venge and was waiting for the
day when he would settle scores
with old Maze.

THE EFFECT OF REPUBLICAN EX.
TRAVAGANCE.

Congressman Dcckery made a
startling statement on the floor of the
House last Saturday. The state
ment was to the effect that the i'm
mense sum of S70,000,OO0 appropri-
ated by the last Congress remained
unpaid, and that there was no money
in the Treasury available for this
purpose. AS a matter of fact, the
Governments arrearage amounts to
500, 100000, and it is we'll known
IN Washington that numerous Gov
eminent contractors, in various de-
partments of the public service have
been put off with promises day after
day, with the prospect that they may
have to wait indefinitely for their
pay. At New Orleans thousands of
dollars are owing. In case of the
works on the Tennessee river, there
are laobrers who have been unpaid
far three months. At the works
about Sandy Hook, N. Y, those en-
gagged in the work were discharged
before Christmas without pay, and
are still unpaid. These are merely
typical cases; they exist all over the
country. Altogether careful scruti-
NY OF the circumst1ntial evidence in
the premises would tend TO confirm
the accuracy of the statement that
II is sadly embarrassed Administra-
ton at Washington. There are not
few in this Administratio who
view askant the abortive efforts of
Secretary Foster to scrape up enough
to pay of the A per cent. bonds.
which he unconsciously promised t.
see to when business men refused 2
per cent. 1t is plain that the enor-
nous amount of money paid out for
pensions during the past summer,
the expenses in this direction some
months exceeding the entire reve-
nues of the Government, is what
has chiefly embarrassed the Admin
istratlon and it is equally true that
the McKinly bill, as revenue re-
ceipts have shown for months past.
has cut too deeply. In short, there
has been of late constant pinching
oft of money devoted to deserving
public enterprises, which both par.
ties had approved, to bolster up and
take care of the extravagances of
the last Congress, INDUCED in tor
purely political purposes, and to
purchase a regeneration of the Re-
publican party.

CHILL,

IT looks now as if the United
States would go to war with Chill.
The butchery of several Of the Uni
ted States sailors of the warship,
Baltimore, at Valparaiso, Chill, by
mob and police, for which Chill
refuses to apologize or make repara-
ton, has melted this war feeling.
and both countries, it is said, are
making active preparations for war.
President Harrison Will send to
Congress at once a message asking
a declaration of war be made. Chill
is o strip OF country in South Ameri-
ca, on the Pacific coast, numbering
about three million people, and mas
just emerged from civil revolution.
She has splendidly equipped navy,
and her people are courageous fight
ers. They are mostly of Spanish
blood, intermixed with Europeans
and Indians. At first Chill would,
no doubt, make it hot for "Uncle
Sans" navy and Boys in Blue"
but the result would be disastrous
to Chill. We trust that war will be
averted. All such differences ought
to be settled by arbitration.
