soon as the three murderers hac
reported their cruel deeds, sem
out sixteen of their warriors te
finish their work on the river
and at White Bird killed Capt
Jas. Baker and shot ]. J. Manuel
from his horse and left him fol
dead. He afterwards crawled
into the brush and weeds and
though never entirely recovered
lived for twelve years afterward.
He survived for thirteen days on
haws and gooseberries until re-
lieved by Gen. Howard. They
then went to the house of Sam
Benedict and killed him and
French Peter. French Peter
killed one Indian in their de-
tense. From there they went to
the mining claims on Long Bar
and here they killed Harry
Mason, VIM. Osborne and a
Frenchman and outraged the
women. One man by the name
of Lumac sunk his body under
water in the river under the
bushes, leaving only his nostrils
out, and escaped notice while
they filed along the trail but a
few feet away. He recognized
many of them as Indians who
had lived along that river for
years.
From here they went up near
Slate Creek but they being ad-
vised of the murders at John
Days were fortified and forbid
their approach, after which they
returned to the prairie, firing at
Geo. Woodward and VIM. George
at White Bird who made their
escape in the brush.
The greatest excitement now
reigned throughout the country
Pat Brice brought in Mr.. Manu-
els little girl (now Mrs. WV.
Bowman) wounded by an arrow
in the head and an arm broken,
This was the first positive proof
obtained as to the killing, as she
was on the horse with her father
when he was shot at White Bird
and they supposed him dead.
Lew Day, a brave good man,
volunteered to take dispatch to
Lewiston and Fort Lapwai for
help but at Cottonwood, twenty
miles away, he was overtaken by
four Indians and shot through
the lungs, but made his escape
back to the Cottonwood station
kept by Ben Norton, where Mrs.
Norton and Miss Bowers dressed
his. wounds. That night they
put the three women and three
children in the wagon with Mr..
Chamberlin as driver when Ben
Norton, Lew Day (although bad
ly wounded) and Joe Moore and
all started for Mt. Idaho. At
Shebang Creek, near where the
town of Denver now stands, they
encountered Indians and from
there made running fight for
about six miles when thew again
wounded Lew Day by ball
fracturing his leg badly, which
made him SO faint he could not
ride and caused a moments halt
for him to get into the wagon.
While this transfer was being
made the Indians got ahead and
laying down in the grass shot
down the team that drew the
wagon which brought halt. /
They all dismounted, got under
the wagon and defended their
lives by firing an occasional shot.
Mr.. Chamberlin; wife and two
small children ventured out and |
tried to- slip through the dark /
ness but they were captured, Mr. |
Chamberlin and one child killed, |
Mrs. Chamberiin was horribly /
treated, wounded and her cnifd. /
less than two years old, stabbed /

FORD'S THEATRE DISASTER.
District Attorneys BIunder Frees Aims.
worth and the Contractors

Washington, December 4.-The District
court of appeals today sustained the
demurrer in the case of Col Ainsworth,
chief of the bureau of pension records of
the war department, and three other per-
sons, engineers and contractors indicted
for manslaughter in causing the collapse
of the old Ford's theatre building on the
tn of June last, by which twenty-one
clerks lost their lives and d number of
others were injured. The court held the
Indictment fatally defective, because it
did not show upon its face facts which
would enable the court to determine by
legal construction whether joint duty
was created and imposed ON all the de-
PENDANTS alike. This decision remands
the case to the criminal court, which
will discharge the defendants. Whether
the district attorney will attempt to
frame another Indictment seems in
doubt. 1t is stated that such is his inten-

THE LIGHTHOUSE BOARD.
The Good Work Done and the Better
Work Hoped For.

Washington, December 4.-The report
OF the lighthouse board for the year end
ing June 30 was made public today. A
detailed statement of the work done in
each OF the lighthouse districts shows
that the board has brought the many
ana varied aids to navigation under it's
charge up to the proper standard and
done all that was possible with the funds
provided to meet the requirements of
commerce and navigation. The board
renews Its recommendation that steps be
taken to prohibit the establishment of
private lights and buoys in the navigable
waters OF the United States, except when
the consent of the board is given. The
board again recommends an appropria-
ton of $4,000 for the erection of oil
houses. 1t hopes for an increase in light
stations this year and asks that the
appropriations for that purpose be
increased to $4,000. In speaking of
the salaries of lighthouse keepers. the
report says the present force is too small
and the men are overworked. They can
not put the complicated fog signalling
and lighting mechanism at work in
proper time, and higher grade of skill
is required to care for and operate the
delicate mechanism that involves higher
salaries. To employ sufficient number
OF men o. the present grade of ability
will require an appropriation of $780,
900, an increase of So 700 to be divided
among 1900 keepers. An appropriation
OF $780, 900 is requested for the mainte-
nance of light vessels, an increase of
5000 made necessary by the damage
done the old vessels by the unusual
storms of the past summer, and the
establishment of seven new ones. The
cyclones of August did great damage to
buoys on the Atlantic coast. To replace
those destroyed will exhaust the reserve
stock and an appropriation of 100000 is
asked for the expenses of buoyage, an
increase of $4,000 over the amount
allowed this wear.

Old Hardtack and Salt Junk Days of
DevotioR,to the Old Flag.
The twenty eighth annual reunion OF the
surviving members of the Twentieth Con-

having members of their families with
them. At noon President Henry 8. Peck
of New Haven, who lie one of tho mem
bers of the park commission, called the
members to order. His svoirdupots Is
about the same as when he was with the
regiment and such as becomes one OF the
city fathers of weight and influence. He
Is councilman as well as commissioner,
and ia senior councilman and will prob
ably be alderman if he desires 1t. After
a few remarks welcoming his old COM
rades, proceeded with the short routine
business transacted every year at the re-
unions. A handsome pin adopted by the
regiment has recently been gotten up at
q very reasonable price and many of the
members put their names down for
them. Other matters of interest to the
members of the regiment were at
tended to. The election of officers
resulted In President Peck and Secre-
reelected. After the business meeting ad-
journed those present sat down to boun-
| tiful repast gotten up in Stewards best
| manner. After the dinner President Peck
| called upon Colonel W. B. Wooster of Biz
/ mingham and DR.. Hutchinson, department
! surgeon of the G. A. R. for Connecticut
| for speeches. Colonel Wooster responded
| in very happy vein, and expressed his
| delight at being with the "boys" of his
| old command once more. Colonel Wooster
| is little more gray now than when he hao
| charge of the regiment, but he is still 70
bust and vigorous and still in active prac
| tice of the law.
