THEY DRANK FIREWATER.
Indians Acquire Jngs md Create a
Big DISTURBANCE.

There was another raid last night
that must go down on the police rec
ord second only to the storming of the
Wasatch q. few moons ago. The scene
this time was not laid in what may
be termed the tenderloin district or the
well-hghted halls where the click of
the chips can be heard or the rou-
lehte ball dances merrily, sporting with
the fate of the anxious player.
Just below the Union Pacific depot
there is a place where members of
different tribes of the original inhab-
itants of this continent camp. At this
time a passer by might imagine him
self in an Indian village, and SO it is
in reality. Several hundred red skins
in a place is enough to cause dis
turbance to call out the entire police
force, and when poor Lo gets hold
Of tfire-Water" from some unscrupu-
Eous pelican it is not to be wondered
at that he should strike terror to the
heart of the lone Watchman at the
depot. Several Los got hold of the
aforesaid water last night and it took
several of the finest to quell the erup-
tions that followed.
Officer Randolph sent word for the
wagon, Sergeant Ford and all THE men
he could muster In few moments
BLACK Maria" ratified off toward the
depot with several of the finest. Off
Ger Randolph met the outfit at the de-
pot and led the way across railway
tracks to a. row of dimly lighted wicki-
ups, from whence issued unearthly
noises. Outside the tents were about
fifty copper faces engaged in
a, fistic encounter that would have
been a credit to any city official Ser
geant Ford took a survey OF the held
ordered his men to advance and
squaw with a bump on her head and
bleeding nose was taken prisoner. The
squad retreated, slowed the prisoner
safely into the wagon and left officer
Hemple as guard. A second onslaught
was made and on band of fighting
savages and three more were made
prisoners.
Then came the most daring Incl
dent of the terrible engagement. OF
fcer Randolph, without a corps 'of
guards, walked boldly into d tepee and
splitting an opening in the dense smoke
with his baton emerged from the can
vas hut of sleeping redskins with
nothing.
In the meantime the other bluecoats
had not been idle and when the wa
gon would contain no more the return
trip to the station was made. To give
the names of the victime would be i'm
possible, most of them being too drums
to talk. All the bucks We're harbored
in the drunk department, while the
only lady of the party was put in q
room adjoining that occupied by Babe
GateWood.

BLAZE AT WILLARD.
Poor Widow the Victfm-Assistance
VIII Be Given Her.

WILLARD CITY, Utah, Feb. "a
During the last month the people of
this county have suffered more loss by
fire than at any other period IN the
history of the county.
The church going residents Of Will
lard had assembled at the tabernacle
yesterday when at 2:30 p. m. small
boy rushed into the building, and up
to the pulpit, bringing the news that
the house of Mrs. Rosabel Hubbard
was on fire. AS the fire was only about
a block from the tabernacle, the presid-
ing officer made the announcement to
those present, with a request that some
of the young men should go to the
scene of the confagration and assist
if possible, in checking the fire. About
one hundred men instantly formed a
bucket brigade, and as there was plen-
ty oif water near at hand, they had the
fire under control in about fifteen min
utes, although the roof had to be torn
off in many places in order to get at
the blaze In a short time thereafter it
was all out. Had the fire occurred on
any other day but Sunday it would
surely have been entirely destroyed as
it would have been impossible to secure
enough assistance to successfully COM
bat the flames when the people were
scattered and engaged in their differ
ent labors AS it was the damage
amounted to about $10O. Mrs. Hubbard.
like Mrs. Allen, whose house was de-
stroyed fortnight ago, is a poor wild
ow, with large family of children,
and the loss is very severe to her. A
committee of five was appointed by
those present to solicit subscriptions
with a view of putting on roof and
making the house fit to dwell in again.
The fire originated through the stove
pipe passing through the roof, and be-
coming detached between the ceiling
and the roof

the Union Pacific Railroad company and
about 1000 persons holding lands under
titles obtained from that compromising

portions of the business section of Den

Jefferson and Arapahoe counties.
1t is alleged that the lands IN queStl0ll

presumption laws.

SALE OF ALLOTTED LANDS.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-The secretary
of the interior today sent to the house
with his approval protest from the COM
missioner of Indian affairs against the
proposed legislation relative to the re-
moval of the restrictions as to the sale
of the allotted lands of the Puyallup In
dams OF Washington. 1t is believed,
the commissioner says, if the clause con-
tanned in the pending Indian appropria-
ton bill should become a law it would
result in robbing the Puyallup Indians of
their homes and lands, in bringing them
to poverty and making them dependent
