PoRT TOWNSEND, Oct. 23.-News was
received here by Collector Saunders of
a fight with fourteen contraband Chinese
and a settler named Doran at Wycke-
sham, small city 25 miles south of the
Canadian boundary line. Doran fell
upon a bunch of Mongolians by acct
dent, and tried to arrest them. The
Chinese resisted, and in the fight which
occurred one celestial was wounded in
the knee. The rest escaped. Doran
then notified Deputy Collector Maloney;
who secured posse of ten citizens and
started in pursuit. The wounded Chi
nese was captured and sent back
to town. His injury was pronounced
not serious. The officers then pro-
ceeded upon a regular organized man
hunt for the dozen Cinnamon who had
escaped. These latter must have be-
come hard pressed, as all in their fight
dropped their luggage, six of them los
ing their head gear. All of these effects
were captured by the officers.
Today Deputy Collector Maloney
wired that three more contrabands had
been run down, making in all five. out
of fourteen known to be in the band,
who are captured. The rest of the
gang will, it is expected, also be run
down.
The notorious cowboy Terry" of
Seattle, who was responsible for the
battle three years ago, in which Deputy
Sheriff Poor-of King county lost his life,
is thought to be the Chinese driver in
the present instance, as that fight was
in the vicinity of yesterdays battle.

EARLY SWlNDLlNC CASE.
Bail of the Boise BuncO Men Reduced
to $500.

Bail of the Boise Buneo Men Reduced
to $500.
BOISE, Idaho, Oct. 21.-The famous
swindling case against H. w. Early took
new turn this evening when Early's
bail was reduced to $500 and the amount
was furnished in cash. EARLY, under
the firm name of 7. G. Early & Co., ran
clothing store here, openingin Deem
Der last and closing under attachment
in April. Fraud soon developed and it
was found that the Boise store had sim
ply been used as a station in a scheme
for robbing eastern merchants. The
goods we're shipped here and often re-
shipped to other points without being
unpacked, the marks simply being shaw
ed off the boxes. Early was arrested
and sent to Jail in default of a 81, 900
bond. Altman s. Co., of Buffalo, were
one of the principal creditors and active
in the prosecution. 1t now transpires
that some at least of the creditors had
been settled with and the prosecution
relaxed. Bail was reduced to $500 and
furnished as stated. A settlement was
effected through some one in Denver,
supposedly his brother, T. c. Early,
somewhat notorious lawyer of that city.
The total amount of the swindle was
between $25, 1000 and $4,000. Early
played similar game at Chico, CAL

Drilled Into the Safe.

RosALIA, Oct. 23.-Burglars attempted
to blow up the postoffice safe on Sun
day night. They first broke into Charles
Hoeck's blacksmith shop and secured
some drills. The safe is close along
side the wall that divides the postofice
from the drug store. 1t was drilled in
four places, and the supposition is that
the burglars had not time to insert their
dynamite, or were frightened by the
night Waterman passing, as they left
all their tools strewn on the floor.

SHERIDAN'S HORSE.
A Charger Which Carried the Leader
Through Many a Fight.
DetroIr Free Press.

Winchester, General Sheridan's famous
charger. which, as the poet has told. carried
his master twenty miles away" IN one of the
severest battles OF the war; died in 1878. and
his skin has been preserved by the taXider-
mlsts process. Winchester was jet black in
color, with a small white star almost in the cen
ter of the forehead-a sort of "ncky star" He
stood sixteen and a half hands high and was
trim built aud active and proud-splrlted.
When Sheridan took command of the Second
Michigan Regiment, in 1862, Captain Campbell
presented him with the animal. which was then
spoken of as three-year-old colt. His owner
dubbed him RenZi, after the Mississippi town
of that name. He carried his master through
the battles OF Stone River. Chickamaugua, Mis-
sion Ridge and score of other engagements IN
the Tennessee campaign. He pranced around
the mules and ordinary steeds at the battles OF
OpaQuin, Fishers Hill. Cedar Greek. Pc ers-
burg, Trevlllain Station, the Wilderness SpOtt-
sylvania, Cold HarbOr GOrdonsville, Appomat-
toX Courthouse and a score or more OF other
eOmbats.
In fact Winchester faced the guns In ninety
engagements and with a single execution
never f1nched or turn tail to The enemy. In
the battle Of Stone River solid shot PASSED
under him, grazing the skin OF his belly. He
became fractiouS and unmanageable, The gen.
eral being obliged To dlsmount. Tile appear

was the foundation for 4 report that his owner
had been killed. The horse was wounded by
pieces OF she'll in the battles of Opaquln and
Trevillan. but not severely in either instance.
History describes the ride from Winch ster
a furious and heddlong ace. General Sheri
dan said that lie tad ridden the horse at fun

officers. Generals Forsyth aud O'Keefe, and the
eScor OF twenty caualIymen rode with Them,

four miles of ''pOeIic license"
