Possibility of Another Indian Outbrcah
In the Pine Ridge section.
CHICAGO, Oct. 13.-There is said to be
a strong possibility of another Indian
outbreak in the Pine Ridge section.
The Big Foot band, which Col. For.
sythe seriously crippled some time ago,
recently marched. 400 strong, including
$50 fighting bucks. from the standing
Rock agency to Pine Ridge. where
they declared they would remain. il
they had to fight. They said their
people were buried there, and they
wanted to make il their home.
Capt. Penny Immediately called out
his sixty Indian police. arming each
with forty rounds OF cartridges. to pre-
serve order, and a troop Of the ia
nous Ninth cavalry were dispatched to
escort the Big Foot Indians back to
Standing Rock. This may pr~ecipitate
trou BILE.
As Pine Ridge is not in this military
division nothing is known of any In
dian troubles here: but James X. Asay,
Indian trader at Pine Ridge. who is
now in Chicago, says he left there a few
days ago. and that there is trouble in
the air.

Five Hundred Horses SufYocated or Burned
to Death In Mad Hut Futile Efforts to
Escape FIR ~ the burning Earns of tho
Chicago street Railroad C~ompany-
Charred Cascasses Lying About ON Every
Hand.
CHICAGO. Oct. 1~3.-Frenzied with
fright and driven into stampede by a
raging fire that broke out early last
evening in the Wallace-strect barns OF
the Chicago Street Railway Co. SOC
horses were ~suffocated or burned To
death. The barns were totally de-
stroyed. They were located at Wal
lace and Thirty-ninth streets and were
among the most extensive under tho
control Of the company. They occu-
pied the large brick building two
stories in height and extending 400 feet
on Wallace street and ninety on
Thirty-ninth.
The fire broke out about 6 o'clock,
and at once the low building was sur
rounded with flames. They burst
from windows on either side and en-
trance through the doorways was cut
off.
Inside. the horses were helpless.
They were blinded by the glare Of the
flames and the smoke that rolled
through the place in great volumes,
and soon a stampede was in progress.
The animals surged back and forth in
fifties and hundreds. led on in their
mad rush to escape. Their loud
ncighing and an occasional cry
of pain told the people on the
street Of the fearful scenes
that were being enacted on the inside.
Yet little or nothing could be done to
save any of the animals. Gradually
the sounds Of the stampede grew
fainter and fainter, and when the first
group Of firemen had forced their way
into the barn they saw charred car
cases lying about on every hand.
The loss on the building is SIS, 900;
the loss on horses about $50. 900, and
that on cars and feed will bring the
total loss to about $1lO. 900.

by the foreign and other guests

The director-generai felt offended
when the lord mayor also complained
that Ireland was not represented at the
