A Drunkard's Fate.
Horse ThI eyes Cremated.


LITTLE Rock, Ark, March IA
special from Enterprise, |. T., says that
u posse in pursuit of two men who had
stolen thirty horses in the Choctaw
nation, followed the thieves for three
days. finally surrounding them 10
miles east of that place. The thieves
refused to surrender and kept up
firing, having dismounted from
their horses and taken to the
woods The posse pressed them close
ly and the fight was kept up for two or
three hours, both pursuers and pur-
sued firing as rapidly as they could
load their revolvers. One of the posse,
in trying to head off the thieves, re-
ceived a bullet in his arm, shatter
ing it, and causing him to fall
from his horse. Finally the entire
party massed and charged the two
criminals, forcing them to take refuge
just at the edge of the woods in a
cabin. Here the thieves barricaded
themselves and defiantly proclaimed
that they would not be taken alive.
After repeated efforts to induce them
to give up the house was set on fire.
Still the men inside refused to come
out. although the roof was a mass OF
flames They still threatened death to
any of the posse who ventured near.
At last the frame of the building fell
in burying the desperadoes in the ruins,
and they were roasted to death in the
burning building.

WASHINGTON, Aug. IA report sent
to the war department by Captain ]. i.
Van orsdale, OF the Seventh infantry, late
acting agent at the Fort Kali Indian res
ervation, on the subject Of the trouble
with the Bannock Indians, has been for
warded to the secretary of the interior.
The report says in part;
being short rationed and far from self
supporting, the Bannocks hunt for the
purpose OF obtaining sustonance. BY
treaty they are granted this privilege. 1t
would seem that the killing Of these lndi-
ans under the circumstances Is nothing
more or less than murder. Further, be.
lieve that there Ia no wanton slaughter OF
game by them, while IL Is o notorious fact
that hundrSas of animals are killed by
white men for nothing mere than heads
and horns. There are men In that country
who make 10 q business to pilot hunting
parties from the east and abroad which
not only slaughter elk, but capture and
ship them out of the country. The kill
ing OF game by Indians interferes with
their business.
"The Indians can hardly be expected &c
submit to the killing of their people while
engaged in an occupation which they
think they have a right to follow more
quietly than white men would do, and
failure by the government to take proper
action is liablo to resuitfn serious loss of
life and property"
Captain Van Orsdale's report bears the
Endorsement of Lieutenant Colonel Henry
E. Noyes, Of the Second cavalry, com
manding tho post, who says he concurs
heartily in what the captain has said. II
is also indorsed by Brigadier General
Frank Wheaton, commanding the de
