A Big Battle Between Fanatics and Gov
ernment Troops Near Canador. Brazil.
New York. July Ca dispatch to
the Herald from Rio Janeiro. Brazil,
says that information has reached that
city to the effect that more than 1900
soldiers have been killed in a big bat
tie near the site Of Canador
The fanatics, numbering more than
10000 men. attacked the government
troops Whole brigades of the soldiers
were swept down and destroyed.
trampled under foot as the victorious
fanatics, with wild, hoarse shouts of
triumph, passed over them.
The full extent Of the loss of life
cannot be told. There is no reasonable
doubt. however, that the loss in killed
on both sides Is more than 5000. For
miles the ground around Canador is
sterwn with the dead and dying. The
government Troops were compelled to
leave their dead on the field and fee
to save themselves from complete de
struction by the avalanche Of fanatics
When the report of the awful battle
reached Rio de Janeiro il was consid-
cred by the president and ministry and
1t was decided to send the minister of
war to the scene next week with 1000
men who are now gathering. They
will carry with them a great store of
ammunition and will endeavor to dis
lodge the fanatics from the positions
they now hold.
Fighting has been in progress al
Canador for several weeks. In the
meantime. while the fanatics fought
apparently with little heart. they have
been gathering their forces from all di.
rections. The result was the final at.
tack on the government troops, which
led to such awful results.

even If unable to elude observation.
Norwood was the mining partner of an
old man named Beatty in Lincoln

cred that Norwood was dishonest and
severed the partnership.
Soon after Norwood waylaid the old
man at his cabin door and beat him
into insensibility with "a pick handle.
