IKE A TRAMP
Bishop coleman Tramps over The A.
legheny Mountains.

An old man leaning on heavy
walking stick and roughly clad
attracted some attention at Graf
ton last week. He had walked q
long distance and his clothes
were covered with dust. At first
glance many persons took him
for a hobo.
1t has just leaked out that he
was the Right Reverend Leighton
Coleman, Bishop of Delaware, on
his annual tramp trip through
the mountains. Two weeks ago
he left Wilmington and went by
rail to Martinsburg, where his
tramp began. Wearing a long
macintosh, a SLOUGH hat and
heavy shoes. and carrying a stout
stick, he walked from Martins
burg to Grafton, crossing the
Allegheny mountains on the
way and then retraced his steps
to Cumberland where he took
train for home, having footed it
235 miles. He is 81 years old
and averaged 30 miles a day
while walking. One day he made
90 miles. He related many queer
experiences of his trip. He was
an object of frequent pity on the
part of the people. The Bishop
takes tramp trip every year
incognito to get near to the peo-
pie and says the days he spends
upon tn. tramp, communing with
nature and mingling on an equal
footing with the plain mountain
people, are among the happlest
days of his life.

INDIAN UPRISING
In Minnesota Alarming. Gen. Clouch
Calls for Troops TO Protectthe.
People.


During the past week Uncle
Sam has had more troubleon his
hands. This time is with the
Indians, and it is now feared that
a general uprising will be the
result.
Eight killed and eight wound
ed is the record Of the first meet.

Third Infantry under command
OF Brigadier- General Bacon and
the pillager Indians on Bear Is
land, MINI. The killed are
Major Melville Q. Wilkinson.
A Sergeant.
Five privates.
Kay-Bay Gway.Tish, Chief OF
Indian police.
The Indians lost, according to
reports, all the way from four to
thirty killed and two wounded.
Deputy United States Marshal
Sheean, Inspector Tinker and
Edward Harris, former Marshal
of Walker were wounded. the
latter having his arm broken by
a bullet. United States Marshal
O'Connor had a narrow escape, .
ball passing between his arm and
body.
The entire country in the vi
cinity of Walker and Indian
agency is wild, fearing a general
uprising. Citizens sleep with
their rifles at hand, and com.
panies of volunteers are olganiz-
ing and getting ready to protect
their lives and homes.
The latest reports are that the
Cass and Red Lake Indians are
reinforcing the Leech Lake tribe
in large numbers. Gen. Bacon's
command may be annihilated be-
fore reinforcements can reach
him. The prevailing opinion
is that a general uprising is a
certainty.
The force thus far sent to bring
the red men to time is wholly in
adequate. Gen. Bacon's original
force of one hundred men has
been reinforced by Companies B.
F. and 81. of the Third Regiment,
under command of Lieutenant
Colonel Harbach, veteran Of
other Indian wars. But this
small force will be unable to
cope with the willy and TEACHER
Gus foe on his own ground, and
efforts are being made to have
the entire regiment sent to the
front at once.
A telegraphic request was sent
to President Mckinley by leading
citizens of Minneapolis, praying
that at least 500 men he Dispatch
ed at once to the scene of the
disturbance, as only an adequate
show of strength can bring the
Indians to their senses. 1t is be-
lieved that If the entire regiment
had been sent in the first place
instead of the single company
the Indians would never have re-
sorted to arms, but would have
surrendred the men wanted by
the United States Marshal.
Bloodshed would have been pre-
vented and many brave soldiers
would not have lost their lives.
The story of Major Wilkinson's
death adds another page to the
nations book of heroes. He was
shot and killed while walking up

morning at his room in a house in the

The wound inflicted by a BRICK
in the hands OF Gable did not cause
death. but erysipelas contracted in the
wound ended the victims life
Cable is now In Jail. He was arrest
ed shortly after the assault by officer
Webb. 1t seems that the two men had
some misunderstanding and Cable as
saulted Crockett in dark room late
at night. The instrument used is sup
posed to have been a piece of IRON from
the fact that large billet of This metal
was found in the room the next day.
Crockett had to go to bed with the
wound and later contracted erysipelas.

Il" Served Last Night. ...

The commander Of the 1GOth Indiana
regiment. Colonel George w. Gunder,
must appear before Justice Henry T.
Jones. in Rloodheld. this morning to
answer Il warrant sworn out against
him yesterday by Mr.. J. J. kellum Of
Morrison. charging him with assault.
Chief w. c. Boatwright. of the coun-
ty police. drove out to the camp last
evening and served the warrant on
Colonel Gunder. The colonel had Just
returned from dress parade when Chief
Boatwright handed him the warrant
and told him to appear before Justice
Jones this morning at 10 O'clock.
The warrant grew out Of a difficulty
that occurred near the camp Friday
afternoon. According 10 4 statement
made by a gentleman yesterday Mr.
johnson Smith, who clerks for Mr.. KEEL
lum. at Morrison, came TO the camp
Friday to deliver some goods that had
been sold to soldiers. Colonel Gunder
it is said. suspected that Mr. Smith was
selling beer to his men. and. as the
story goes, he got on his horse and
rode outside of the lines to the place
where Mr.. kellum'S wagon was stand
ing. He accused Mr.. Smith of selling
beer. and the latter replied that he was
delivering goods that had been bought:
when he had a right to do. adding as
ne addressed Colonel Gunder IF you
order any beer I will deliver it to you
sir. Then, it is stated, Colonel Gun
der became angry and used language
that is not found in religious tracts, and
also drew his sabre. but did not strike
Mr.. Smith. When he returned to the
store Mr.. Smith reported to his employ
er what had happened. Yesterday af-
