MINCo. Sept. 15.-News has reached here
of terrible murder by outlaws OF an old
Indian named In-ki-nish. DR.. j. L
Strum, who lives among the Caddos or
Cobb creek, tells the story. There is .
formidable band of outlaws near here
whose rendezvous is in the Wichita noun
talns and who prey upon the settlers al
most nightly.
The agent sent a young Caddo Indian
policeman, In-ki-nish, without uniform, tc
ferret out the hiding place of these out
laws. They discovered that they had been
tracked and decided to revenge themselves
on the In-ki-nish family.
Wednesday, the father of this young
man, the elder In-ki-nish, and some COM
panions were out hunting deer in his pas
ture on little stream called Lake Creek.
In-ki-nish became separated from his COM
panions and rode into a canyon, following
some deer tracks.
Immediately he was seized upon by the
outlaws who were laying for him. Evil
dences of struggle have been found. II
there was one, the old man was overcome.
He was tied to a tree and shot
Six shots were fired into him, four pass
ing through his body and two going
through his head. Not satisfied with that,
his head was then beaten to a pulp. His
mare was then shot down, and colt
which was following, running to its
mother, was also shot and fell across the
mare The body of In-ki-nish was taken
a little way to sort of swamp, over
grown with grass and weeds, and thrown
in there. In this condition were the
bodies found day or two after the tragedy
by the aroused Indians and whites of that
section. who knew not what had happened
to In-ki-nish until his body was found.
Bill Weatherford raised a posse and
Joined the pursuit. but most of the pur-
suers quit the chase at the Canadian
thinking the outlaws were rapidly leaving
the country and had too much the start to
be overtaken. But one posse followed the
trail across the river, around in the bot
toms on the north side, and discovered
that the gang had simply doubled on their
track, recrossed the Canadian and were
again back in the reservation. Following
on. the gang was trailed across the
Wichita reservation to the Washita river
still moving southwark.
IL is evident that the outlaws
are making for some hiding place in the
Wichita mountains, in the kiowa and
COniAnche reservation. The posse is still
after them, and it is believed that by this
time denSive battle has been fought

Law and Order League Members
Before the Grand Jury.
Presentment, at Least, Expected by
Brooklyn Reformers.

It was rumored this morning that the
Law and Order League of Brooklyn
would attempt to get the Grand Jury to
take some action against certain city
offlcials for their alleged neglect in en-
forcing the Excise law.
The rumor undoubtedly arose from the
fact that several members Of the
League went before the Grand Jury yes
terday and swore to certain alleged vio-
lations of the law.
It was said this morning that among
the witnesses examined were Freedom
Garretson Smith, Rev. /. K. Funk and
several amateur detectives.
Some OF these witnesses told OF visits
they had made to certain saloons on
various Sundays, and declared that the
police made no attempt to enforce the
liquor laws.
The members of the League were I'M
certain as to what they wanted the
Grand Jury to do in the. matter. The
Grand Jury, promised to consider the
allegations laid before them, and the
subject may be touched upon in a pre-
sentiment next Friday.
The members of the League will prob
ably give further evidence Tomorrow.
