SHOOTING AT CHEYENNE.
Bloody ARRAY in Which at Least One
Man Was Killed.

Cheyenne, Wye, Nov. 22-Thomas
O'Nein and Michael, his brother, were
shot in front of the Tivoi saloon and
restaurant by Charles Boulter at 3
o'clock this morning. The first named
died at 1920 a. m. from his injuries.
The bullet entered directly in the CEN
ter of his breast, passing between the
lungs. Michael was shot twice in the
right leg, once through the knee cap.
The brothers were under the influence
of liquor and were quarreling. Boulter
attempted to separate them, when they
both attacked him. They knocked him
down, when he pulled his gun, S.
caliber Colts, and began shooting.
Three shots were fired, all of them
taking effect. Neither of the brothers
were armed. The shooting probably
was not justifable, although Boulter
claims that it was done in self-defense.
He was arrested and lodged in Jail to
await the result of the coroner's in
quest, which will be held this after
noon. The O'Neills We're in the en-

INDIANS AT MESCALER0.
Captain Burnett Reports on Their
Vices and Their Virtues.


Washington, NJ. 22-Captain L. T.
Burnett of the Seventh cavalry, acting
agent at Mescalero. in a report sums up
the evils among the Indians of that
agency which is found to prevail to
greater or less extent among western
Indians and especially those in a savage
state.
Another cause of much trouble on this
reservation is the frequent marriage
among Indians. 1t often happens that
man will get tired of his wife after be-
leave her or send her home to her rela-
tives. This may occur sometime with
the same persons, so that a man has
three or four wives and the women as
many husbands, all living. Sometimes
the husband ill-treats his wife and she
make up" and live together again
Several cases have occurred during the
past year in which a parent has induced
a girl to marry at the age of perhaps
Ia or 16 years, for the purpose OF Keeping
her out of school, 1t often happens that
turning to her parents often against the
wishes of her husband. This causes
serious quarrels. 1 do all l can to in
duce these persons to live together. when
they are married, but there is no
way of compelling them to do so.
Polygamy IS practiced to some extent;
Twelve Indians have each two wives
and one has three wives. l advise
against this on all occasions, but they
do not like any person to interfere Wlth
such things l do not see how 1t can De
prevented, as it is an old custom.
On the other hand Captain John Blllls:
Twenty-fourth Infantry, in charge OF
the Pueblo in New Mexico, shows that
these Indians are making RAPID ADVANCE
ment toward civiliZa ton.

Cooks Grow Daring.

Muscogee, I. T., Nov. 22.-Last night
half a dozen members of the Cook
gang were recognized on the
streets here. Citizens began to hunt
for them, but the outlaws made them
selves scarce. The officers who fought
with the bandits last night came in
about dusk and reported that they had
chased the bandits to the bottoms and
there lost their course. Cherokee Bill
was seen six miles north of Muscogee
today. He had two Winchesters and
two six-shooters. Lou Cook, the queen
outlaw and sister of Bill and Jim Cook,
is in Muscogee. 1t is believed she is
planning the release of Wade Cham
blee, the robber now in jail. Extra Jail
guards have been placed on duty. Uni
ted States Attorney Jackson has wired
Attorney-General Olney that all the
officers have returned from the chase,
and in his opinion the only thing to be
done is to send troops.

New York, Nov. 22-Rev Father
Ducey, of st. Leo's church, tonight sent
q letter ito Archbishop Corrigan in an
swer ito the letteg which he received
from that dignitary d few days ago, in
wiltch the archbishop took him to task
for taking such a prominent part in the
meetings of the LeXow committee. In
his letter, Archbishop Corrigln adnf0n-
ished Father Ducey to abstain, in the
future, from attending these sessions
of the committee without permission
from him.
In reply tonight Father Ducey said:
Il regret to have received this evil
dence of your excellency's want of APP
probation of my persistent devotion
and sacrifice in the interest of truth,
morality and religion.
For years, / have felt that you
should be, next to the holy father now
reigning, the greatest factor for good
in the whole Catholic world. Unfor-
tunately, 1 am forced to say that mere
in New York the great power in the
work for good and humanity and the
Catholic church had been thrown to the
wind and we are now reaping the
whirlwind I am not the only man who
believes and thinks the greatest oppor-
tunity heaven has thus given to the
Catholic church since the days of cur
Lord and his apostles for good has
been sacrificed in the city of New York.
Had the church openly acted with
courage in opposing the corruption and
corruLtors of this great city, the Cath
Ollie church would have gloried through
out the world.
Now, DR.. Parkhurst has Won.
Continuing, Father Ducey declares
he is surprised that Archbishop Corri-

New York, Nov 22.-The facts of the
case are that less than 100000 in all
have been sold and the premium paid
in no case reached a quarter of l per
cent. The gold was purchased by in
dividuals who desired to make small
subscriptions for the new government
bonds and whom either did not care to
take the trouble to go through the form
necessary to secure the gold at the sub
treasury, and who thought it might pos
sfbly lessen their chances to obtain the
bonds if they took specie from the
treasury. Members Of the firms of
Handy & Harmon, Zimmerman &, For
shay and Nesslage, Colgate & company,
agree in saying that it was net usual
to buy gold with premium of B@A
and even y of l per cent. to supply an
immediate want and no notice would
ordinarily be taken of such . transac-
ton. 1t is only in connection with the
government bond issue and the question
of increasing the geld reserve that the
matter is used as a subject of public
Interest and only those who do not
understand the situation give it a sec
ond thought. They say, further, that
there are no indications of a furry in
gold, and that gold is not al a premium
in this city in any sense of the word
as all the yellow metal required can be
obtained through the banks in the
regular order of business.

MISS DURkEE's POSITION.
How She Came to Figure in the
Case.

Omaha. Nov. 22.-diss Kate Durkee,
whose connection with Holmes, the in
e1lrance swindler. has been so widely
heralded. and who. it was Thought,
MIGHT have been murdered, is living in
mis- citv with her brother, the assist
amt auditor of the Burlington road.
Miss Durkee says that she only knew
Holmes through his wife, with whom
she was intimate in her childhood. She
had visited Mrs. Holmes frequently IN
Chicago. and during one of her visits
the real estate deal which brought her
into prominence was enacted. This
vas about four years ago. Holmes
asked Miss Durllee as a favor to allow
him to transfer his city property TO
her He said that as he was situated
at the time it would be great con-
venience Miss Durkee consented With
out asking questions.
He explained at the time that it was
only a matter of form. and being ig-
norant of business affairs she accepted
his statement as being true. The prop
erty was decided to her and she never
had the deed recorded. Some time
afterWard. DR.. Holmes came to her and
requested her to have him appointed
as her administrator, so that he could
handle the property as he wanted to.
She did so and at his request decided
the property to a man in Chicago
named Campbell. but she does not
know who he is or what was his occu-
patton. After this Holmes sent her
some stock in some enterprise in which
he was interested, asking her to keep
it for him for awhile. In the latter
part of May or the first Of June, 1892.
Holmes and several persons came to
Omaha to take her deposition regard
ing the property. Each Of them was
represented by a lawyer. also from
Chicago. and one Of them explained
at the time that they had been of the
opinion that she was a mythical per-
son. The cause of their coming here
was a suit brought against Holmes by
some drug company in Chicago. to
whom he owed a sum Of money. This
was the last Of the transactions be-
tween DR.. Holmes and Miss Durkee.
After the transfer Of property to her,
Miss Durkee was summoned to Omaha
by telegraph on account of the sudden
illness of her brother. and she left
without an opportunity to explain her
unexpected departure. This. she b.
lieves, is the foundation of the theory
that she was murdered. Last August
Miss Durkee was again in Chicago.
Holmes was out of the city and She
was told by Mrs. Holmes that he had
gone to Philadelphia to attend to some
business in regard to an insurance
case. Miss Durkee says she is almost
sure that the name mentioned was
Pitzel, and that Holmes went in behalf

Not Believed That Howe is n Grimm
al, Though.

Philadelphia, Nov. 22.-Jeptha D.
Howe, the young st. Louis lawyer,
who. in connection with H. H. Holmes,
is charged with defrauding a local
insurance company of $4,000, reached
the city today from st. Louis. He was
met by Marshal F. Mcdonald, of St
Louis. and the law partner OF young
Howe's brother, and surrendered him-
self. Lawyer Mcdonald said:
This arch conspira.tor, II. II. Holmes,
or H NJ Morgan. the name by which
ne was known in st. Louis, came ITO my
office while l was absent in Colorado
and proposed a, case, saying that Mrs.
Pitzel wanted some one to represent
her. 1t was the first case the boy ever
had been Offered, and he jumped right
into it with all the ardor and enthu-
siasm of youth. He did not wait for US
to return, and the result was that
this slick crook imposed upon him.
NV Young friend may have been in
discreet but he is no criminal.
Inspector of Police Lindley believes
Howe was misled by Holmes.
