The Indians Fired When Deputies Tried
to Arrest Them for Violating Gamc
Laws-Troops Asked for by Settlers.
Denver, Oct 26.-The Republican
prints this morning the following from
Meeker:
A courier arrived to-day with let
ter from Game Warden Wilcox saying
that in attempting to arrest some In
dians near Lily Park for violating the
game laws the Utes fired on them and
they returned the fire, killing four Utes.
Wilcox reports 200 Indians in that
neighborhood. He sent out riders to
warn settlers.
When questioned last night relative
to the trouble now existing between the
authorities ut Meeker and the Ute In
dians, Governor Adams said he knew
nothing concerning 1t excepting what
was contained in n short telegram re-
ceived by him at II o'clock last night
from Deputy Sheriff Frank Il. Watson.
The telegram was as follows:
"Meeker, Colo. Via Rifle, Oct 25.--
Governor Adams: Game Warden Will
cox tried to arrest Utes on Snake riv-
er. five miles from Lily Park. They
resisted and fired on the Wilcox party.
No whites injured. Several Indians
killed and wounded. Our sheriff with
posse now away In west end of county
assisting Game Wardens Mclean and
Lytle. General Otis should order Du-
chesne troops out Mt once to corral In
dlans and save further trouble. Much
alarm here"
When asked If he intended ordering
ont the troops, the governor replied:
mo. shall do nothing of the kind.
do not know how serious the trouble
is and until do shall not act. have
not as yet sent any reply to the telc-
gram and will not until some time to-
morrow. do not look for any serious
trouble. These troubles are always oc-
curing when an attempt is made TO
compel the Indians to observe the game
laws. They do not seem able TO COM
prchend that they have no right to XII
more game than the white man. Sill
they cling to the belief that they can
do all the hunting they want at any
time of the year. and until they are
made to fully understand that they
have no more rights In that matter than
the white man. and until they make
up their minds to comply with the law.
there will always he this trouble. The
killing Of n couple Of Indians does not
amount to very much anyway. No.
shall not Mt present call out the troops.
! will let events take care OF them
selves, II the trouble should become
serious and the officials there are not
able to cope successfully with the In
dians. then l shall act by calling out
the troops. Meeker is about twenty
five miles from Rifle. and by this time
all may he serene. We will walt de-
velopments and act accordingly

FRAUDULENTcREEK WARRANTS
The Funds of That Indian Tribe Have
Been DerpoIIed of Over $1,000

bttu pthpbtltu III otet 1uusovVs
Washington, Oct. 25.-Over $4,000 Of
alleged fraudulent warrants on the
United States treasury on the account
OF the Creek Indian nation In Indian
territory have been discovered by the
government authorities. The alleged
fraud was perpetrated In connection
with the payment Of the Greek Indian
nation debts and only the barest details
have reached here. Congress, by re-
cent enactment. authorized the liquida-
tions OF the Indebtedness OF the Creeks.
amounting TO S333.0o0, incurred by the
Indians for various purposes. The
amount appropriated was to be paid
out of the United States treasury and
deducted from the large funds OF that
tribe now in the treasury for their
benefit. The work of paying OF was
begun months ago. hut when the last
warrants were presented II was found
that the amount paid. instead Of Ss33.-
Wn. as authorized. had reached 3l2.oO0
II has been found that many old war
rants to which no consideration had
ever attached had been renewed and
PAID under the process Of tribal np-
proval. and that many new warrants
had been Issued and paid In the place
Of Old ones on which full payment had
already been made. The matter proml-
ses TO prove great sensation. The
facts have been reported To the Depart
mcnt of Justice. and the ease is now In
the hands OF the United States district
attorney there for prosecution. one OF
the guilty parties has confessed.

Easily PrcYenteti.

Very few people are wholly at ease
during violent thunderstorm. Light
ming generally strikes somewhere, and
no one feels absolutely safe from 1t.
There is simple way Of insuring ones
self against danger, however. If you
put on n pair of rubbers when the light
ming begins to flash and the thunder to
roar, and stand on the floor SO that you
touch nothing else, you will be us safe
as If you were sealed in glass case.
Rubber is non-conductOr of electricity,
and If the lightning has to go through n
piece of rubber to get at you 1t will
leave you alone and take something
else. In other words, when you have on
n pair of rubbers and are not in con-
tact with anything, you are perfectly
insulated. This Is not theory merely.
1t is fact proved by innumerable ex-
periences. pair Of ruSbers has saved
many n life In thunderstorm. But
they must be sound and whole. Do not
don an old pair with Il crack in the toe,
because electricity will get out of n
very small hole when 1t Is cOrnered,
and pair of defective rubbers will do
you no good.

The bicycle corps of the 25th United
States Infantry recently rode from
Fort Missoula. Montana, to St Louis.
Missouri, distance of 1900 miles. The
commander of the corps has reported
to the war department that the trip
required thirty-four days OF actual
travel. at an average rate of 6.3 miles
per hour. A large part Of the trip was
made under trying conditions, over
mountains, and on sandy or muddy
roads. with an occasional fording OF
streams: the men living meanwhile on
the regulation field and travel ration.
The health Of the command was excel
lent, and none Of the soldiers were dis
abled; the commander thinks that the
practicability of the bicycle as a means
of military transportation is demon
strated.

About the time that the camp meet
ing at Old Orchard claimed to be en-
gagged in the work of casting out devils
there was a wild outburst Of negro re-
ligious frenzy In Mountville, South Car
olina. over the alleged capture of the
original and only complete devil. 1t
was proposed to bury his suppositious
majesty, and 1t was thought that i'm
mediately thereafter the judgment
would arrive. But we can't see that
there is any Improvement in any situ-
alton. any more than there has been
during the long period which has been
largely given up to the annihilation Of
the diabolical wretch. And does not

Some figures obtained by the United
States Marine Hospital bureau. compar-
ing 1896 with 1890. show 'favorably for
Illinois and Chicago. In 1890 the death
rate OF Illinois was 2+.Ol for every 900
of population. In 1896 this death rate
was reduced to l4.0l per 1000 popula-
ton. showing reduction OF AZ per
cent In the death rate OF the state. In
Chicago the death rate in 1890 was
2l.l9 per 1000 population. and in 1896
It was only 1896 per 1000 population.
showing that Chicago. the second city
In the Union In population. made sub
stantially the same reduction in her
death rate that was made by the state
OF Illinois as a whole. The healthiest
city In Illinois last year was Sterling
-death-rate i.03 per 1000; Blooming
ton was low-9.6s; Galcsburg little bet
ter 9.5s; Quincy. 1902. Comparing
Chicago last year-14.3G-with other
large cities II appears It is healthier
than any OF It's competitors In popula-
tion. The death-rate Of San Francisco
was 1876: Washington. 20.96; Atlanta,
Ca. 1891: Boston. 2253: st. Louis.
1896: Brooklyn. 20.52: New York.
20.s6; Cincinnati. 1890: Cleveland.
1472; Philadelphia, 20.17: and Milwau-
kee. 10. ST. Paul had death rate OF
9.25 and Indianapolis 1850. while De-
troit was 1t.2s. almost the same as
Chicago. 1t is n good sign that the
denth-ratc is diminishing. The state OF
Indiana reduced her death rate from
1896 In 1890 to 1910 in 1896. Iowa re-
duced her death rate from ii.s7 In 1890
TO l?.3s In 1896: Minnesota from 20.53
to 1855; Ohio from 1904 to 1882. Wis

Madrid, Oct. 23.-1n the special note
to United States Minister Woodford
the government declares that Spain has
done all in her power to end the war
in Cuba, and cites the many sacrifices
which have been made by the nation,
the number of troops sent to Cuba, and
the reforms which are to be carried out
In the island, which are fully described.
The note ends with the statement that
Spain will not admit the right of any
foreign power to interfere In any Of her
AFFAIRS"
lei Tempo publishes, with reserve, the
announcement that the reply of the
Spanish government to the United
States, presented to General l.. Stewart
l.. Woodford, the American minister ut
Madrid. declares that II the United
States does not stop the sailing of fill
bus;ering expeditions from American
ports, Spain will re-establish the right
to search vessels anchoring In Cuban
waters.
The instructions given to Marshal
BlancO, the new governor general of
Cuba, are under two heads-military
and political. In the first, SenOr Moreta,
minister of the colonies, AYERS that his
course OF action rests exclusively upon
the judgment of the governor general,
but recommends that he conduct the
war so that the condition of the troops
and colonists be bettered and that prop
erty be made safer.
The second directs that in the intro
duction of autonomy in the island an
appeal be made to all parties, nll being
equal in the eyes OF the mother coun-
try, but warns Marshal Blanco not to
intrust the work of autonomy to the
revolutionists. as that would be an In
suit to the loyal colonists.
