INDIANS VERY RESTLESS.
Danger of Another Outbreak During
the Coming Snrino.

Danger of Another Outbreak During
the Coming Spring.
OMAHA (Neb.), Oct. 9.-Dr. V. t. Nc
Gillicuddy of Rapid City, S. D., well
known as one of the best-posted men in
the country on Indian matters, is in
Omaha, having just come from the Pine
Ridge Agency. Talking to-day to Bee
reporter, he said: 81 don't wish to pose
as an alarnlist, but the situation at Pine
Ridge is not at all satisfactory lust at
present, and there are no immediate
prospects of improving. The Indians
are Sullen, and in many ways show a re-
sentful feeling, and unless something is
done to counteract this, there is danger of
trouble next spring.
The Messiah spirit is not dead, and the
whites must not depend on the statement
that the Indians are no longer consider
ing the promise made by Sitting Bull
and other medicine men who led the
trouble two years ago. While there is no
open dancing, there is quiet discussion of
the subject, and the fact that promise
was that the Messiah would come after
two springs, which would bring the time
in the spring of 1893, is being carefully
kept in mind by the Indians.
The Government recently paid the In
dians at Pine Ridge SS5 900, and this was
used as an argument that the Great
Father fears the red sons, else why should
he seek to buy them off. Then the re-
turn from Fort Sheridan of Short Bull
and kicking Bear added another dis
turbing element to the already deeply
state of affairs at Pine Ridge The most
signicant thing is the fact that there has
been communications between the vari-
Gus tribes of secret and apparently i'm
portant nature during the summer. There
is line OF communication we'll estab-
lished and constantly used between In
dian Territory and the British possess
slons, and the Indians all along the line
understand each other'

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 9.-Chester Cries

WASH, died to-day at the Philadelphia
Hospital from supposed effects of opium
poisoning, believed to have been admins
tered to him in low lodging-house at CPS
Spruce street yesterday morning. Cries
sener had been stopping at one of the
lodging hotels here the past eight or nine
months. He told them at the hotel that
he was real estate broker in Tacoma,
and his visit here was upon business
matters. Griessener seemed always to
have plenty of money, and made frequent
trips to adjacent cities
According to a story told by himself at
the hospital before he died, he came back
here on Friday morning from one of his
trips and landed at the Arch street wharf
He says he was met by two men and in
duced TO enter cab, and was taken to
house at 425 Spruce street, where he was
found dying last night by the police.
That he was not taken directly there,
however, is shown by the docket of the
police magistrate before whom he WAS
fined on Friday for refusing to pay cab
fare. AT the time of his arrest for refus-
ing to pay the cabmen he had as a COM
panion well-known thief named Hugh
McDeVltt. AS Griessener had no money
at the time Of his arrest, he had to pawn
his watch to pay the tine. He left the
station-house accompanied by McDevitt,
and was then probably taken to the
lodginghouse.
Griessener has no recollection of what
took place there until Saturday morning.
He took breakfast that morning with
Mrnnuitt hiC i'll,
Kate Eberting, and another woman.
After breakfast he says they gave him
something to drink, and he lost conSci-

where he exhibited strong symptoms
of opium poisoning, complicated by in
dicationS of delirium tremenS. After
telling his story Griessener became de-
lirious, in which condition he remained
until he died this afternoon.
When taken to the hospital Griessener's
overcoat was missing. He had no money,
although he said he had considerable
when he arrived here. Two handbags
he had with him had disappeared, and
the only thing left was revolver.
McDevitt and the Eberting woman
were held to await the Coroner's inquest

tlerce LngaSements Between French
Troops and Natives.
PARIS, Oct. 9.-Colonel Dodds, COM
mander of the French forces in Da-
honey, has telegraphod further account
OF the state of affairs prevailing in Da-
honey, and the position of the French
troops. The Dahomeyans, undismayed
by the severe punishment which they
received in tie battle of October 4th,
made desperate attack on Major Goun-
ards scouting party, on Thursday, Octo-
Der 9TH. The French lost four men.
Three of the natives were killed and
twenty-five others OF Behanze followers
wounded. Unofficial dispatches say that
IN this battle the enemy numbered about
5000, and in the ranks were the famous
amazons, whose ferocious lighting quali-
ties are we'll known.
The Dahomeyans occupied strong
position on the other side OF the river
and had strongly fortified the bridge be,
tween the two shores. Major Gounard
carried the bridge at the point of the
Dayonet. 1t was a Sanguinary engage
ment, the native warriors contestinp
every inch OF ground and furiously re-
slStlng every attempt OF the French to
dlslodge them. The enemy, however,
was at length forced to yield to the attacks
OF the trained and better armed soldiers.
and sullenly retreated, leaving the dead
bodies of large number of their COM
panlons and many rifles on the field.
A telegram dated October Sth was also
received from Colonel Dodds, in which
he reports that he is now in such posi-
tlon that he expects soon to make an at
tack on King Behanze's last line of de-
Tense. He is confident of entirely routing
the Dahomeyan forces when the next en-
gagement takes place.l

REVOLVING MURDER.

Young Man Stabbed to Death ut a
small station in Fresno County.
FRESNO, Oct. 9.-One of the most re-
voting murders ever perpetrated in
Fresno County was discovered yesterday
morning. William Good, Postmaster at
Tarpey, small station on the Mountain
Railroad, six miles northeast of Fresno,
was the victim of q murderer's knife. He
kept small grocery in addition to the
Postoffice, and the murder was plainly
done for robbery. The place is a new
one and the small store is the only house
within a mile. 1t is surrounded on all
sides by large vineyards and crossroads
pass in front of the store.
About O'Clock tram stopped there
and goods were put OIL. No one was
there to receive them and the railroad
men made an examination. The doors of
the store were open. On the steps lead
ing down from the rear door were found
splotches of blood. Seventy-five yards
in field the body of the murdered man
was discovered and the trail of blood
showed that he had run from the store TO
that place before he fell.
telephone message was sent to
Fresno, and Sheriff Hensley and Consta-
bic Hill went to the scene. 1t was found
that Good had been stabbed in the store

showed that after being struck with the
knife he had escaped by the back door
into the field, where he fell. The money
drawer was broken open and the contents
taken. A few small pieces of money
were found on the hoor, dropped i'll the
fight, and on the ground in front of the
store a few more were found.
The Posto11ice was kept in the same
room. The till of this was also broken
open and the money gone, and the papers
were scattered around. 1t is not known
how much money was taken. The cash
book for yesterday showed that there
was $50 in the house besides the Postoflice
money. 1t was all taken but few dimes
and nickels.
The murdered man was % years old
and from st. Albans, w. Va. His brother.
who owns the store, is foreman in the
vineyard OF NJ. +. Tarpey, beside the
store. 1t is thought that when stabbed
the young man had tried to reach his
brothers house, half mile away, but fell
in few rods.
The murder was committed at night
before retiring, for the bed where the
young man slept had not been disturbed
AT O'Clock at night a neighbor passing
saw stranger sitting on the steps with
GOOD. At 10 o'clock the same nelghbor
passing again saw a light in the back
room, but no one was around. 1t is
thought that the murderer came with the
pretense of buying something from the
store, and in an unguarded moment
stabbed him.
