The Indians subdusd.

GUTHRIE, o. T., May l2.-Dis-
patches were received from the Chey-
enne and Arapahoe agency at Canton,
Mont, tonight by Gov. Seay stating
that Red Moon and White Shield, the
two Cheyenne chiefs who caused the
trouble in county f, have arrived
there with their followers for their
rations and been placed in confine-
ment. Scouts have gone out from Fort
Reno and compelled all other Indians
to go to the sub-agencies, SO all are
now accounted for and all danger of
an outbreak is past. The whites are
already returning to their farms and
no more trouble will be had.

mers broke open the great iron
gates and entered the penitentiary
and securing the prisoner started for
the residence of Mr.. Johnson, some
distance away, where Mr.. Johnson
identified him. The mob had grown
in numbers to an immense throng,
and then the procession marched to
Fifth and Main streets, in the very
heart of the city, opposite the
Masonic temple. The prisoner was
given several minutes to pray and
confess. at first he denied that he
was guilty, but finally admitted it. A
rope was then thrown over the cross
arm of a large telegraph pole and
James was soon swinging in midair
and riddled by hundreds Of bullets.

pEATH ON THE RAIL.

There was a terrible wreck and
fatal accident on the Il. & q. II. r..
Just east of Tunnelton, Tuesday of
this week. The morning accom-
mediation east from Grafton, No.
10, in charge of Engineer Milton
Hodges and Fireman William
Williams, had just gotten under full
Roadway from Tunnelton, and GO
ing around the bend the engine ran
oil TIE track and turned clear
around, tearing up both tracks for
some distance and killing the en-
gineer instantly. The fireman was
thrown clear up over the bank and
was unhurt. The engine was a
total wreck and the front end of the
baggage car was smashed up fine.
The baggage-master was bruised up
some, but no one else was hurt.
The rest of the cars remained on
the track. The passengers were
shook up considerably, but no one
was hurt. 1t is not known what
caused the engine to jump the track.
The road vas torn up for some dis
lance and trains delayed several
hours. The unfortunate engineer
was hurled into eternity without
moments warning. He and the
fireman were talking about making
garden when the accident happened.
One leg and arm was badly broken
and he had terrible cut in the side
of his head and face, and was badly
scalded besides. The remains were
taken TO Keyser for burial, the
home of the deceased, who leaves
wife and large family of chill
dreR, some of them grown. He
was man about fifty years of age
and had been running OH the road
for thirty years, twenty-five AS an
engineer. Wrecking trains from
various points along the line arrived
and the wreck was soon cleared
away, and the track repaired so that
trains were running that evening.

DEFYING LABOR.

The Journal very boldly declares
1T has no apology to offer the far
mers and laboring- men for is char
acterization of them as "ignora-
moses, demagogues and damn
fools" In this it Is simply doing
the bidding of the master, Monop-
oily. 1t was Vanderbilt who said,
when in hilarious frame Of mind
like our cotemporary, "The public
damned - The Journal TO-DAY
feels safe in the arms of Monopoly,
and invites Labor to assert It's right
if 1T CARE. Well, labor will assert
its right and monopoly will not save
the Journal from the just and in
dignant wrath of the honest tillers
of the soil and the half paid work
men.
The Journal cannot excuse itself
for its unmanly and brutal attack
upon honest work men by assailing
Jerry Simpson. What has Simpson
done that is dishonorable The
worst the Journal c&n say of him
is, that he is "crank," which is
no proof. 1t objects to Jerry as a
leader of the Peoples party. For
what? Because he did not rob his
State Of thousands Of dollars like
Matt Quay? Because he did not
organize voters in "blocks of five"
like w. w. Dudley If Jerry
Simpson, who is an honest men, so
far as we can learn, is not to be
trusted with the leadership of bis
party, IN the name of all that is
just and right, how could you ask
honest men to follow the leadership
of such VIGOROUSLY dishonest and
corrupt men as Matt Quay and w.
w. Dudley?
