to the school, in spite of the promise and
consent OF the parents, and when the
Indian agent persisted Black Horse and
ten of his men attempted to kill him, but
friendly Navajos and police rescued him.
The agent was badly beaten. Alter the
fracas Black Horse threatened to kill In
terpreter Subbell and Charles Mitchell un-
less the agent promised not to ask for any
more children in that section or in the
reservation. Deeming the situation critical,
the agent acceded to the demand. The
telegram closes by asking authority to use

Black Horse and his followers to furnish
children for the schools. The Navaios
number l6, 600 or 20 900, OF whom not less

DOTS FROM DIGHTON

DIGHToN, Kan, Nov Especial i
Dighton shipped seventeen carloads of
cattle last Monday. Ten cars went to
Clark's ranch on Mud creek, near Marion,
Kan, to be fed; five cars go to some
point in eastern Kansas for the same pur-
pose, and two cars to the Kansas City
market. Dighton is good cattle town,
and Charley Higday, Joe Green, Sam
Woods and Fred Shulz are cattle buyers
that are known all over the state.
Dighton's -four mill is now in operation.
This may not sound very big to the read
ers down about Wichita, but it means a
great deal out here in western Kansas,
where the nearest mill is from thirty five
to eighty miles away.
Lewis McElbiney. a low-browed, british
looking fellow. hailing from Leoti, Kan,
was arrested last Monday for attempting
to rape Miss Effie Boruff, young lady of
Dighton, who is teaching school in the
Shull district in Blaine township, about
ten miles from Dighton. While Miss
Boruff and companion were near the
house of Mr.. Shull, where they board, she
WAS seized by the brute, aud but for the
timely arrival of Mr. Saul he would have
accomplished his foul design. Word was
sent to Sheriff Noll, and the fellow was
placed under arrest aud is now in Jail AT
Ness City, having waived a preliminary
examination, and will have a hearing at
the February term of the district court.

BRuTALLY OUTRAGED.

ST. LOUIS, Nov, 2.-One of the
most horrible crimes ever committed in
st. Louis occurred this morning in a
lonely spot in south st. Louis. Mrs. Ellen
Rose, 81 years old. highly respected lady,
a farmers wife, was choked and beaten
into insensibili,y by two fends who re-
peatedly assaulted her. They kept the
aged woman for over two hours, and
would have killed her had not police
officer came up and rescued her, catching
she assailants in their diabolical act. Mrs.
Rose is a bent, gray-haired old woman,
whose virtue Is apparent upon her face, as
is her age. She looks ten years older than
the age she gave. The brutality of the
crime, as she relates il, would hard ~ have
been believed had not the officer caught
the assail ants in their crime.
She was returning home from an all
nights attendance at the bedside of sick
friend, and at Broadway and Anna streets
two men accosted uer. One OF them
clapped his hand over her mouth and
threatened her with instant death if she
breathed sound. She struggled and sue
ceeded in freeing her mouth and screamed
loudly for assistance. No one heard her
in that lonely neighborhood, and her
captors at once choked her into semi
insensibility and dragged her into neigh
boring lumber yard. Here she was kept,
icing repeatedly assaulted, until the officer
appeared on the scene, being attracted by
her groans.
The arrest was made as quietly as posi-.
Bile, and few OF the citizens of the neigh
borhood were aroused, else there would
undoubtedly have been lynchipg. The

LIEUTENANT SCHWATKA.
The Explorer Found Dying in the Street
at Portland, Oregon.

PORTLAND, Or, Nov. 2 = Lieutenant
Frederick Schwatka of Alaskan explora-
tion fame died here at 4:5O o'clock this
morning. He was picked up on the street
about o'clock a. m, in an unconscious
condition. Beside him was found a
laudanum bottle.
lying on the sidewalk in an apparently
drunken stupor. All efforts to arouse
him were futile. The two-ouncs vial
found near him was about half full. He
was carried to hotel, where further at
tempt to awaken him was made, but with
out avail. He manifested symptoms Of
opium poisoning, and a physician was
summoned, who, after hasty examina-
ton. ordered him conveyed to the hospital,
where, after few minutes, he expired.
He never regained consciousness The
body now lies at the mOrgue, where the
inquest viii, be held tomorrow morning.
Dr. c. Fl. Wheeler. the attending
physician, was this afternoon asked for
his opinion as to the cause of death. He
stated that he would insist upon q
postmortem examination, and before that
was had he could give no opinion; that al
though the symptoms indicated opium
poisoning, there might be another cause,
such as apoplexy. He would rather think
that Lieutenant Schwatka carried lauda-
mum for some other purpose than suicide.
as he was man well versed in the use of
medicine. Lieutenant Schwatka had just
returned from visit to Salem, Or, his
former home.
Lieutenant Schwatka of late years had
been troubled with stomach complaint
'and was in the habit of taking laudanum
to allay the pain. Last night he attended
political meeting, and while there COM
planned that his stomach was "killing
him." He went to drug store and pur-
chased two-ounce bottle Of laudanum.
remarking to the clerk that he was grad
uate of medical college and that he was
accustomed to taking fifteen or twenty
drops of laudanum when his stomach
troubled him. When last seen last night
he appeared to be in u cheerful mood. and
gave no evidence that he contemplated
suicide. The theory Of suicide is fast Civ
ing way to the theory that be took an
overdose of laudanum by mistake.

A MISSING STEAMER.

CLEVELAND. O., Nov. 2.-Although moth
ing definite has been learned, it is almost
certain that the big steamer reported
foundered north of the North Manitou
islands at the foot of Lake Michigan is the
big steel steamer w. l.. Gilcher, owned in
this city. She is several days overdue.
The Gilcher was commanded by Captain
L. H. Weeks, a man of the highest stand
ing in marine circles, aud the crew num-
bered seventeen. There were no passen-
gers aboard.
CHICAGO. Nov. 2-The theory is sug.
gested here that the missing Cleveland
steamer Gilcher and the unknown schooner
wrecked ut North Manitou island were in
collision, and that both boats foundered.
A possible clue to the time when the
Gilcber foundered is contained in piece
of cabin partition which Captain jerks of
the steamer White picked up. On the
piece is written James Riley (or RIDER 9
p. "-(balance of writing not decipher-
able) AT O'Clock Friday night was
about the time the Gilcher would have
been off North Manitou island, and the in-
scription on the wreckage WAS perhaps
made by some member OF the crew before
she weut down.

Amadeus while going to fhe relief of the
steamer Baldwin. ashore near Colchester,
with a wreckage outfit, sprung leak last
night ana sank. Three OF the crew-Chief
Engineer Howell, Nicholas Barrett and

THE FRENCH IN AFRICA

PARIS, Nov. Mail advices received
here show that while the French gunboat
Opale was returning from Kobe on Sept.
80, it was suddenly attacked near Donkeli
by 600 Dahemeyans. Three French soldiers
on the gunboat were killed aud number
wounded. The Opale shelled the villages
along the river. The next day 200 sharp
shooters surprised Donkeli The Dahomey
ans fled. leaving many dead behind them.
Transports bearing invalids and wounded
French troops were arriving at the coast
daily. The hospitals at Porto Novo were
crowded and vessels have been chartered
TO accommodate the wounded.
A dispatch from Porto Novo states that
Dahomeyan chief, who has been captured
by the French. says that the Dahomeyaps
are led by 200 white men. He gives the
names of many Beigians and Germans.
The dispatch adds that after the French
capture Abomey, another king will sue
Deed Behanzin, who will be executed. The

AN ENGLISH RAILWAY WRECK.


LONDON, Nov. Am appalling railway
accident occurred early this morning near
Thirsk in Yorkshire. by which nine per.
sons were killed and q large number in
jured. The express train which leaves
Edinburgh every morning for London was
running at full speed when it dashed into
goods train. To add to the horror the
carriages caught fire and were destroyed.
The scene at the wreck was pitiable. Some
of the bodies taken out of the debris had
been burned beyond all semblance to hui
manity. A wrecking train carrying ply
sicians was dispatched to the scene as
soon as the fact of the disaster became
known. The accident is said to have been
due to Il dense fog. which prevented the
engineer of the express train from seeing
ahead of him for any distance.
The number of killed is now placed at
ten. The siynalman, who WAS charged
with being asleep at his post, has been
suspended from duty pending an investi-
