MARKET LAKE, IDAHO, Aug. 1.-The
news was received from Idaho Falls,
twenty miles south of here, late last night,
that all the settlers in Swan Valley, about
sixty miles southeast of Market Lake, had
congregated in stockade for protection.
Rowing bands of Indians are creating
much excitement all through the country
east of this point, and in order to learn
whether the frequent calls from settlers
for more troops would warrant the recon-
mendation for another call, Lieuten ant
Ladd of the Ninth Cavalry, who is
stationed here, dispatched two couriers
this morning with instructions to secure
the exact facts. They may get back to-
night by riding over 100 miles. Isolated
sheepherders have been scared from their
ranches at many points in the valleys on
the west slope of the mountains. Lieu
tenant Ladd received the following tele-
gram to-day:

z. f. Ladd, u S. A., Market Lake Idaho: A
courier arrived yesterday at Grays Lake from
Jacksons Hole, by way of Starr Valley. He re-
ports large body of Indians ten miles east of
Caribou. All the ranches in the Upper Starr
Valley are deserted, and the people are gather
ing at Alton, Wyo. About forty families from
the Grays Lake country have left their homes
and come here for fear of the Indians. 1t is
not known definitely what direction the In
dians are going, but it is supposed that they
are making their way back to the reservation
through Grays Lake and the Blackfoot coun-
try. J. STRAeHAN.

dians in that vicinity, and the alarm OF the
settlers is entirely groundless.

SALT LAKE, UTAH, Aug. 1.-The boy
outlaws, Coughlin and George, held the
Salt Lake police force at bay this morning
and escaped. A terrific battle of bullets
took place in City Greek Canyon, just
seven miles from the temple. but the
horses only were wounded by the shots,
although some 300 bullets from SPRING
field rifles were poured on the boys in
ambush.

who are we'll known in the rogues' gallery.
They gave chase, but the boys being on
horseback took to the hills and escaped,
crossing over to City Creek. The police
secured horses and followed. The wagon
came back to Salt Lake and took another
party up through the main entrance to
the canyon.
Seven miles up this force met the others
and at $50 A. NJ. the outlaws appeared,
who started the fight by firing at an officer
and getting under cover. The officers re-
turned the fire and shot the horses, but the
men escaped in the underbrush. The men
were followed and steady fire kept up,
the officers being re-enforced all day.
THE CALL correspondent drove to the
scene of the battle at 6 P NJ. wi tn two Off
GERS. Provisions were carried to the force,
which was scattered all over the hills, two
miles to the east The shots could be
heard plainly, the two boys slowly moving
toward Dry Canyon, which comes down
toward the home of George in this city.
At this writing the Sheriff has sent out
two posses to Dry Canyon and the police
have changed their base to the same place.
The two fugitives are tired out, and being
on foot and surrounded by such deter
mined crowd it is sure that they will be
taken, but those who know say that they
will never be taken alive.

ARREST OF THE INDIANS.
Story of the Killing of Illegal Hunters

Story of the Killing of Illegal Hunters
Told by a Constable.
JACKSONS HOLE, WYo., July 81 (by
courier to Market Lake, Idaho. Aug. ~
Constable Manning came in to-day from
the mountains. His story is the first ac-
curate one of the arrest and killing OF the
Indians and the cause of the trouble. He
says:
''On June 7, information having been re-
ceived that Indians were killing game in
violation of the statutes of the State of
Wyoming, chapter xcviii, section IA, read
ing as follows: 1t shall be unlawful to
pursue, hurt or kill any deer, elk, moose,
mountain sheep, mountain goat or ante
lope at any time except during the months
of September, October and November each
year, during which months the males only
of the animals may be killed or hunted
under the conditions and restrictions i'm
posed by this section. And, further, pro-
yiding non-residents of the State must
procure license before being permitted to
hunt
"a warrant was issue for the arrest OF
the Shoshone and Bannock Indians un-
identified as to names. Constable William
Manning, with twelve deputies, went into
the mountains to serve the warrants. He
found one Indian, named George, on the
divide, close to the headwaters OF Gros
Ventre. The Indian had evidently at.
tempted to conceal his camp. He was

FIFTY BUILDINGS LOST.
One Hundred Other Structures
Also Received Serious
Damages.
ADDITIONAL STORMS REPORTED.
In Colorado Bridges We're Swept
Away and Railroad Trains
Retarded.

SOCORRO, n. NJ, Aug. 1.-The excite
ment attendant upon the food is over.
The list of dead is eight, six of whom are
the Duran family and the other two are
children that were rescued from the food
and died yesterday.
The damage to the city is fifty buildings
washed away and contents destroyed
about one hundred buildings more or less
damaged and large portion of the con-
tents damaged and destroyed.
With these losses must be added the
total destruction of gardens and vineyards
and these losses fall upon the poorest
people.
The Magdalena branch of the Santa Fe
is washed away for about five miles, and
their loss will run into the thousands.
The water washed away the main track
just below the depot yards and covered
the track in the yards about four inches
deep.
The lower part of Manzares avenue IS a
total wreck, bridges and sidewalks being
washed away.
The water covered the whole valley from
the vicinity of the Windsor Hotel to the
depot and for several miles above and be-
low the city. The arroya that did the
damage comes into the city at the south
west corner of the mountains on the road
to Magdalena.
Just as it strikes the city it divides into
two channels, one going down Spring
street to the river bottom and the other to
the west, emptying to the city and swing
ing around to the east OF the city, mingling
its waters with the one coming down
Spring street. The flood came in two big
waves, one filling the arroyo over bankfull
and the other pouring out over every street
in the city.
Had this storm come at night hundreds
would have perished.
DENVER, CoLo., Aug. 1.-Another ter
rible rainstorm swept this region this
evening and all railroads continue to suffer
great losses. An iron bridge over Hard
Crabble Creek on the Denver and Rio
Grande Railroad, twenty miles west of
Pueblo, was swept away about the time
the Atlantic express was due at that point.
Trains will be delayed for twelve hours.
The Arkansas River has swollen to a
raging torrent this evening, and all travel
on roads crossing it has been stopped. The
Florence and Cripple Creek road has not
been able to run trains for several days,
and wires are down all along the line. In
the city the storm again flooded every
thing. Cloudbursts at Morrison and Salida
threatened much property.

stamps As IsnpracttcabIe the Plan for an
Export Bounty.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 1.-Secre-
tary Morton of the Agricultural Depart
ment stamps as impracticable the propo-
sition advanced by David Lubin of
California and other gentlemen, to pay an
export bounty on American farm prod
ucts shipped to foreign countries and a
subsidy to American vessels plying in the
foreign trade.
IF 1t pays to raise agricultural prod
ucts,' said the Secretary yesterday, "a
bounty is not needed. If it does not pay
to raise agricultural products, a bounty
Will be OF no benefit unless the amount is
excessive. Let US see." continued the
secretary, turning to his last annual re-
port, what the total of our foreign ship
ments for the fiscal year 1894 were.
"The figures showed the total shipments
a6G0 abroad during that period to be worth
$S69, 2O4 ,937. Of this amount $62S, 1863, ,038
represented farm products alone.
"That is to say, the shipment of Ameri-
can farm products abroad was equal to
73 per cent of our entire foreign exporta-
tions. In other words, if Mr.. Lubin's
proposition be adopted it would follow
that the Americans who sent the other 81
per cent of their products abroad would be
called upon to contribute very largely
from their earnings to the profits of those
who sent 70 per cent. The plan is unfair
on its face and there is no probability that
it will ever be adopted, no matter how
much these gentlemen resolve.
Moreover" said Secretary Morton, ian
export bounty would be unconstitutional.
Section 9, paragraph 5. of the constitution
specifically provides that mo taxes or duty
shall be laid on articles exported from any
State [ should think that would dispose
of the matter aside from any other con-
sideration

SOLVING THE MYSTERY.
Evidence to Show That the
Missing Christian EndeaV-
orer Yet Lives.
TOLD A VERY WEIRD STORY.
An Epistle to Her Spouse Saying
"Hls Wife Had Passed
Away"

BOSTON, Mass, Aug. Interesting de-
velopments Just brought to light partly
solve the case of Mrs. Anna NJ. Gardner,
the missing Nebraska Christian EndeaY-
orer.
The mystery surrounding the Mrs. IN.
J. Brown letter received by Mr.. Gardner
telling him that "his wife had passed
away" is cleared up, showing that the Mrs.
Brown was none other than Mrs. Gardner.
The mysterious letter in question was post
marked South Boston, and Miss Maud
Ransom, who is employed as a clerk in a
stationery-store on Broadway, after seeing
a picture of Mrs. Gardner, furnished the
information that Mrs. Gardner was the
Mrs. Brown who sent the letter to Ne
brasKa.
Miss Ransom's S story says that on the
morning of July Is between 8 and 10
a woman dressed in mourning en-
tered the store where she is en-
ployed. As she approached the counter
and handed Miss Ransom letter, the lat
ter noticed that she carried her right hand
wrapped in black silk handkerchief as
though injured.
The letter was written in lead pencil
and the woman said she wanted to have it
in ink. "She said, explained Miss Ran
som, 'that she was Mrs. Brown and that
Mrs. Gardner had died at her home. On
account of her having been hurt she had
her little son write the letter, but then
thought as the writing was bad it would
look better to have it rewritten in INK
Miss Ransom wrote the letter and signed
it according to the copy-"Mrs. M. j..
Brown"
Miss Ransom thought no more of the
matter until she saw the picture of Mrs.
Gardner. When shown the Mrs. Brown
letter, which has been returned here, Miss
Ransom identified the writing as her own,
and this fact, in addition to her recog-
milton of the picture, seems to fit to cer-
tainty the authorship of the letter upon
the woman announced as dead.

CAMPAIGN OF BLACKBURN.
Inaugurated in Kentucky in
Good Old BIue-GrasS
Style.
They Had a Big Barbecue In the
Back Woods in the Sena-
tors Honor.

FRANKFORT, KY, Aug. 1.-Politics of
the style that prevailed under the rule of
the old regime of ante bellum days pre-
vailed in Franklin County yesterday, and
the Inauguration of Senator Blackburn's
campaign on the stump in Franklin
County was characterized by most event
full day. The Taylor people arranged big
barbecue at Peaks mill, back in the hills
on the river, in honor of Senator Black
burn, and arrangements were made for
telling blowout. The MeCreary people
then resorted to strategy and prepared an
opposition barbecue for Colonel Violet, the
legislative opponent of BlackDurn's candi-
date, three miles further down the river.
Everybody turned out for the rival bar
becues. and business was practically sus-
pended. Each factions friends flocked to
its standard. There were orations, barbe-
cued lamb and beef, moonshine whisky
and half dozen or more free .for-alls for
spice.
Despite the feeling which prevailed, es-
pecially in the Blackburn camp, the two
factions did not clash, but the Taylor lead
ers bring story of the days doings at the
opposition barbecue. Corn juice was in
plenty, and under the inspiration of the
fluid the Violets began to quarrel and then
fight. Six or seven hot mills were pulled
off, and one mans eye was knocked from
the socket. In spite of all this, no one is
reported as seriously injured and no guns
were drawn.
The feeling is red-hot. Senator Black
burn, true to his promise, did not denounce
Cleveland and the Kentucky ''Cuckoos,"
but referred to them only by insinuations.
His speech was in direct advocacy of the
free and unlimited coinage of silver, and
the Senator intimated that he would rather
sink or swim on that platform. The Sena-
tor, however. advised the Democrats to
support the State ticket. He will speak
each day until the primary, which will be
held on SATURDAY..

THE BANK CAVED IN.
Residents of Slip OF Land Drosvned in

NEW YORK, N. Y, August "A Sioux
City uowa) special says: The residents of
Covington, little Nebraska town across
the Missouri River, were awakened yester-
day by deafening noise and a shock that
Jared all of the houses near the river
bank.
Rushing cut the people found that
number Of houses and a strip of land along
the river bank, several acres in extent, had
crumbled into the water. The occupants
of the dwellings were struggling in the
current. Boats were launched and every
effort was made to rescue the people. A
few of them were dragged out, but at least
ten people were drowned, among them
several little children. All day the caving
of the bank had continued and the occu-
pants of the houses had warning in time
to escape.
1t is supposed that the collapse was due
to detection of the current caused by
Government improvements.

OMAHA'S VERY MILD RIOTS
Commissioners, the Governor
and Mayor Tried to Cause
Trouble.
Good Citizens Indignant Over a
Ridiculous Proclamation for
Peace.

OMAHA, NEBR., Aug. 1.-The great ma
iority of the people of this city are much
amused and also indignant at the highly
infammatory accounts sent to the Asso-
ciated Press papers about fears of riot in
Omaha. 1t is true that the Governor and
the Mayor and the majority of the Board
of Fire and Police Commissioners are doing
all they can to promote and bring about a
riot at the hands of righteously indignant
people, but the latter are holding their
tempers admirably and are simply awaiting
the slow process of the courts, which they
are sure will calm all rebellious and sedi-
tious attempts to override the law.
Mayor Bemis at noon issued an hysteri-
cal proclamation against rioting, which
caused the greatest indignation on the
streets of absolute non-nenecessity of such
a proclamation. At noon Attorney-Gen
sloner Russell called on Governor Hol-
combe at the legislative Office in Lincoln,
and asked him to meet with them in choos-
ing the new Board of Fire and Police Com
missioners for Omaha. He refused, on the
ground that thirty days were permitted in
which to make this choice, and Russell
and Churchill will meet tomorrow and
make appointments.
The leaders of the A. P. A. here say they
are not involved in this controversy at all,
and they Indignantly deny all reports of
an A. P. A. army. They declare, however,
that the acts of the Governor and Mayor
will increase their strength greatly this
fall. The two minority members of the
old bOa rd have oona ont Of offica and Sav
they are obeying the law. The others are
barricading the Office in the City Hall
and increasing the guard, much to the
disgust and amusement of the people. No
trouble at all is feared.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Aug. 1.-The tailors'
strike may become National in day or
two, and the clothing trade in Chicago,
Rochester, Philadelphia, Boston, Balti-
more and other small centers of the trade
may be tied up as tightly as is New York.
The general executive board of the
United Garment-workers will meet to-day
to consider this issue. At the rate the
contractors of this city are yielding now
the strike will be ended in about ten days,
but it seems likely that there will be a
stampede before that time.

MONTGOMERY. ALA. Aug. Last
night George w. Ely of this city left for
Mexico. He goes as agent for the South
ern Pacific Railroad Company to relieve
the distressing situation of the GA Georgia
and Alabama negroes camped along the
Mexican Central railroad and return them
to Texas. The negroes were carried to
Mexi co nearly year ago by the Mexican
Colonization Company.
The company obtained concession of
twenty-eight square miles of fertile lands
at Tiahulalo, State of Durango. At first
the company endeavored to settle the lands
with Mexicans. but it was unsuccessful.
a contract was then made for several hun
dred negro families. The negroes were to
receive half the product of the land and
each family was to be given five acres. The
negroes were allowed two years to pay for
transportation.
They did not prosper in Mexico, the
Mexicans wanting to make serfs of them,
and the tales of their sufferings have been
aired through the press.

Importance of the Testimony of Conufct
Allen.


CHICAGO, ILL, Aug. Attorney 1. Will
liam Capps of Fort Worth, Tex, who IS
here in the interest of the heirs of the Will
liams sisters, left to-day for Little Rock.
He goes with letter from States Attor-
ney Kern of Cook County, authorizing
him to represent Kern in the negotiations
concerning Caldwell, alias Hatch, alias
Allen, now in the Little Rock penitentiary.
At best the Chicago authorities do not
believe Allen, alias Hatch, can give in
formation that will prove murder, and
they say his statements are contradictory,
and that the evidence of his having had
absolute knowledge of murders committed
by Holmes is decidedly weak.
Attorney Capps has convinced them,
however, that there is proof of the identity
of the prisoner as A. E. Allen, alias A. E.
Bond, alias Mascot.
