THE INDIANS ARE QUIET.

They Attribute The Killing To Cow
boys.
Denver. Col, Nov. "A special to
the News from Fort Du Chesne, Utah,
says:
Reports were received here, which, if
true, and from their source there can
be no doubt as to their reliability, con-
firms the belief expressed here that
there was not much, if any, foundation
for the wild reports in circulation re-
garding the killing and burning of the
Indians. These reports also state that
the only story with any foundation
with any foundation whatever for the
truth was that the white courier had
been fired upon. Owing to the high
state of excitement this was probably
magnified. One of the worst Indians
in the Quintah reservation has arrived
home in this fact alone would be suffi-
to show hat there was no cause
for alarm, as he would be the last to
leave if there was any disturbance.
The only trouble apprehended here was
the arrival of the wounded squaws
would incite the Indians, but they have
arrived and the agency is as quiet as
usual except for the wailing of there
|~latiyes of the dead and wounded.
DR.. Reamer, the agency physician, met
the wounded neal the agency n

reports that upon examination of the
wounds he finds the n with a shat
tered arm in a cry painful condition
owing to blood poisoning. The other
will, in all probability, recover.
The chief of the White River tribe
came into the agency building and ask
ed the clerk in charge to tell all of the
Americans in Vernal that his people
people were coming through there and
that he wanted no trouble; that none
of the Indians wanted trouble; but he
was afraid that some of the cowboys
would modest the Indians. The Indians
are impressed with the belief that the
cowboys were the ones connected with
the killing at Thompsons and not the
game wardens.

Deakins, John Smith and Walter Coins
were fatally wounded, occurred at Las
a. m. The tragedy was the result of
an attempt on the life of Ben Marshall
and other political workers about mid
night.
Marshall and others, heading the
fight for the Democratic municipal
ticket, started to the country at II
o'clock with a load of negroes. Egbert,
a desperate character. full of liquor, or
Sanized a band and started in pursuit.
AS Marshall and John Smith were re-
turning from the country Egbert fired,
wounding Smith. probably fatal. Mar
shall recognized Egbert. Marshal's
friends and the friends of Smith armed
themselves, and from IL until L o'clock
fifty men were located in various parts
of the town, commissioned by County
Judge Williams, as deputy sheriffs. At
las Egbert came down Main street in
company with Walter Coins. both
brandishing their revolvers in the most
threatening manner. Egbert began fir
ing. Deputy Sheriff Deakins fell mort
ally wounded. Instantly fifty shots
were fired. Egbert fell riddled with
bullets.
Walter Coins fell close by Egbert.
Doctors say Deakins, Egbert and Coins
can live only an hour or two.

KENTUCKY.

Frankfort, KY, Nov. 1.-The wealth.
er is warm, but cloudy and threaten
ing; rain caused an overflow of the
creeks in some parts of the country
and the roads are impossible. The
vote is therefore light.
Lexington, KY, Nov. 1.-The election
in this city and county today is most
bitterly contested. Republicans and
National Democrats, led by Hon w. c..
p. Breckenridge, have fused on a tick
ct opposed to the Silver Democrats.
Every hardware store sold u yester-
day its stock of fire arms. No trouble
however, had arisen to 9 a. m.
Louisville, KY, Nov. From all in
dications a big vote will be pOlled in
the municipal race, Notwithstanding
it is raining steadily. Interest is at
fever heat and never perhaps in the
history of this city, has party lines
beer drawn so closely.

COOKS INLET NOT KLoNDIKE.

SOOh = 1-NAAAL w. NLCANDlh T.
Seattle, Wash. Nov. 2.-Several re-
turning miners from Cooks Inlet, Al
aska, are arriving at Port Townsend
on the schooner Norman Sunde have
reached this city. Their story does
lot agree with the ones sent out from
Portland in respect to the amount of
gold brought down on the Sunde. In
stead of the amount being SAG, 900, they
say it will not exceed $4,000. They
discredit the statement heretofore
made hat this years output of the
Cook Inlet would reach 81, 900, 900. One
quarter of that amoun would be near
er the amount.
The country is not developed. While
there is no big bonanza on the Cook
inlet there are plenty of paying mines.
The Polly Mining company averaging
during the season with twenty men
working, 81 900 a day at $50 to the man.
Claims run all the way from $25 to $50
a day. 1t is a significant fact that in
Cooks Inlet the Klondike fever is rag
ing with virulence and a majority Of
those coming out intend to go to h
K~londike. On her downward trip h
Sunde encountered a severe storm on
DiXOn'S entrance.

He Got Away with $4,000 O Trust
Funds.

Kansas City, Nov. 2.-The second
trial of ]. c. Darragh, formerly presi-
dent of the Kansas City Safe Deposit
and Savings bank for receiving depos-
its when he knew the bank was in a
failing condition, is now in progress in
the criminal court in Independence,
Mo-, today. The case taken up was
the same one upon which Darragh was
tried in November and December, 1894
that of Christiana Vogts, who depos-
fled $500 in the bank just before it
closed its doors. The former trial re-
suited in a hung jury, after five weeks
of testimony and argument.
There are forty OF more Indictments
against Darragh, but the charge
brought by Mrs. Vogts is believed to
afford the strongest case against him.
NJ. IL. Sattley, the cashier Of the same
bank. was tried on the same charge,
found guilty, August s, 1894 and given
four years in the penitentiary. He
was pardOned by Gov. Stephens this
year. The Kansas City Safe Deposit
and Savings bank was the largest saw
ings bank in the state. 1t had $1,000
900 in deposits, nearly ali from poor
people and when it failed only 81, 100 in
cash was in its vaults. tSattley WED

In view of this fact no North Amer

That which, is being delivered was
