from most reliable sources that there
is a movement on foot on the part of
the other crowd to pack the ringside

HORRIBLE CRIME.
RALF A DOZEN PEOPLE BUTCHER.
ED BY BRUTAL INDIANS.
Men Shot, Stabbed and Hacked to Pieces,
While the Women are Ravished After
Which they Suffer Like Fate.

Bismark, n. D., Feb. 20.-There are
no further developments from the
tragedy at Winona, but it is said TO
have been more horrible than first re-
ported. The murder which is thought
to be the work of Indians and which
was reported in these dispatches yes
terday, occurred on Wednesday after
noon, but was not discovered until
Thursday.
The body of a man named Spicer
was found in the barn which he had
been cleaning. There was gun shot
wound in the back, half n dozen knife
wounds in the breast and the throat
was fearfully hacked. Indications
are that he was killed first. Mrs.
Spicer, hearing the shot, ran down to
the barn evidently from her washing
for her clothes were rolled up to her
elbows. She was killed by blow from
an axe, her head being crushed and
chin split open to the throat. Her
breast was filled with holes as though
she had been stabbed with pitch
fork. Spicer had been shot and large
lead bullet, evidently home made, was
in his back. The further discovery
was made that Mrs. Rouse and Mrs.
Spicer had been ravished. Mrs. Rouse
made a struggle for her life and that
of her children, from appearances,
and her throat was graZed by a knife
just cutting through the skin. She
was then killed with an axe, as were
the children. Their bodies were not
so badly mutilated. Mrs. WaldrOn,
the old lady. was killed near the stove
and the body dragged to the cellar
door, which had been opened, but the
body was not thrown in for some
reason.
A passer-by named Wilson says he
saw in the middle of the afternoon an
Indian coming down from the road
which is about half mile from the
house and after he passed, the Indian
went back again. Another settler
said another Indian followed him
across the river about noon and want
ed to trade horses, and then went back
to the side of the river where the Spi-
GER home is. He was drunk.
1t seems to be the general opinion
among the settlers that Indians are
responsible for the crime. 1t is known
that an Indian woman was badly bea-
ten by a white woman near WinOna
not long ago and it is probable that
some drunken Indian thought to take
revenge on these harmless people.
Money to the amount of several dol
lars was found on the bodies of the
dead, but dress suit and some of the
womens' clothes were taken. The In
dian police are trying to locate the In
dian who was seen near Spices home
but so far have accomplished nothing.
The six bodies were laid out in the
house. where the murder was COM
mitted last night, the mutilated and
dsfigured remains of the old and
young women and the children max
ing scene to try the stOutest heart.
The bodies will be buried Sunday
on the brow of the hill near the house.
Relatives of the murdered people
were not permitted to see the re-
mains so horrible are the surroundings
and mutilated are the bodies.

POOR WHEAT CROP PROSPECTS
The 1897 Yield VIII BE Even Under
Last Two Failures.

II there is any old wheat in Indiana out
side OF a few elevators the local millers are
ignorant of it's whereabouts. and the pros
pect for the Indiana wheat crop OF 1897
Is far from promising. f. p. Rush & Co.
said yesterday:
Our opinion is that the wheat crop of
the State Is damaged from 80 TO IS per
cent. We think this damage was caused
by freezing In December. This opinion is
made up from 10 correspondents in addi-
ton 10 confir matory reports from men and
agents who have travelled over the State -
The Bianton Milling Company says:
I'VE find in Indiana a great deal of dam
ago and in some sections entire fields will
be plowed Up Other places show some i'm
provement. Our estimate on the whole is
that winter wheat is below last year. or
about 60 to 50 per cent This estimate is
based on reports from 20 correspondents
covering the enti-e State. We also find less
old wheat held Gack by the farmers than
any year duriEg the past seventeen. There
Is practically no old wheat in the State
and this years crop will be 10 per cent.

RIPPLE SUIT DISMISSED
IL. Il. M'DONALD PAYS ALL STREET
CAR EMPLOYEES IN FULL.
4 SGaabble with DIR. Light as tn Con-
dition of the Books-The
New Officers.

The Broad Ripple Rapid Transit Com
pany receivership suit was dismissed in the
Circuit Court yesterday on motion of VIII
liam Bosson. who filed the suit in behalf
of George w. Armentrout. one of the en-
ployes of the company. Early yesterday
morning r. T. Mcdonald and his attorneys
held a conference with the plaintiff and
Mr.. Bosom. and a half hour later Mr.. Bos-
son asked that the suit be dismissed. stat
ing that all the employees claims had been
paid in full.
Behind all this there is much talk and
~insinuation. 1t is true that DR.. Light has
been deposed as president of the COMPANY
and that he and r. r. Mcdonald, the real
owner of the road. are at outs. Mr. Nc
Donald claims hat he did not get u full
statement of the affairs of the company
until he employed experts to audit the
books and that then he concluded that DR..
Light ought to resign.
DR.. Light claims that when the books
were audited they showed hat the com
pany owed him 81, 600, although he claimed
the amount was $1,000. He says he CON-
promised March II by accepting the notes
of r. T. Mcdonald for $4,000. Yesterday
morning r. T. Mcdonald filed with the
county recorder a mortgage for S2s, 426.7s
given by DIR. r. c. Light, as president of
the Bellevue Land and improvement Com
pany. This mortgage is dated March Is,
two days after the date of the note al
legged to have been given by Mcdonald.
This mortgage covers all the lots owned by
the Bellevue Company.
Mr.. Mcdonald says that there was, no
reason for the failure of DR.. Light to pay
the company's employees. while DR.. Light
says he had no money TO do so, and had
informed Mr.. Mcdonald of the situation
and asked for money.
John d. Mcdonald was appointed super
intendent of the road yesterday and James
r. Henry was made treasurer. A president
is to be elected in a short time. Henry
Hines. of Datroit, was made secretary.
Mr.. Mcdonald took a train for the south
during the afternoon. after he n Dr.
Light and Mr.. Bosom had intimated in in
terviewS that each other were liars and ex-
changed some further amenities OF the
street-railroad business. Here endeth this
chapter OF the street-car history. Mr.. Nc
Donald stated before leaving that new
equipment would be purchased for the road
and it would be put in good shape for the
business. They Will probably go
into an amusement circuit with the COM
panies at Fort Wayne and Terre Haute
and endeavor to place some strong attrac-
tions at the park this summer
