THE FRIENDLY INDIANS
Are Assisting in Every Way to Preserve Order
About Walker, MINI.

Walker, Mimi, Oct. 9--When the troops
reached the agency they found that the
friendly Indians had maintained picket
line covering the whole line of woods
which surround the settlement. AS many
as so of the Indians have done picket
duty. Now that the troops are on the
ground these formal preparations for de-
dence will probably be abandoned. but
there will be Indian scouts out all the
time. ready to bring prompt warning of
anything that even looks dangerous. Last
night. Mah-Ge-C Bow, one of the head
men of the Bear Island Indians. arrived
on the agency point with u canoe loads
of the Bear Islanders, comprising those
of them who are for peace.
There were 10 or 100 in the party. men.
women and children. They went into
camp about five miles from the agency
and Mah-Ge-Cay-Bow at once called on
Gen. Bacon. He said that so far as he
knew. none of the hostiles were killed in
the fight. AS to how many Indians were
actually on the war path. the Agency
Indians were disposed to hold the number
down to something under 100. and many
of them say that there are not more than
g or 30.

SIR KNIGHTS TEMPLAR
Arriving At PIttsbuts BY thousands for The
TriennIal conclave.

Pittsburg. Oct. a.-Not In the history OF
Knights Templar conclaves has a con-
clave ever been opened on q more beauti-
full day. The sun, after having been hid
den behind rain-tilled clouds for several
days, rose clear upon the awakening city,
this morning.
The influx of Knights continued during
the day and up to midnight. when the
formal opening of the conclave was inau-
gurated with the festival sermon at the
Trinity Episcopal church. There was a
congregation assembled larger than this
historic building ever before held.
The first formal event OIL the pro-
gramme of the 9th triennial conclave
took place In Trinity Protestant Episco-
pal church. 1t was the official Divine SER
vice of the knights Templar and was as
usual very impressive and largely attend
ed. Most Eminent Sir Knight Warden
La Rue Thomas, grand master, was es-
corted to Trinity church from the Monon-
gahela hotel by 500 Pittsburg Templars,
and as many more crowded the church
yard, unable to obtain admittance. The
old church was filled to its utmost capa-
city. Rev. DIR. Alfred W. Arundel rector
of Trinity, read the service. and the SER
mon was delivered by Rev. DIR. c. L.
living, rector of Calvary church, Brook
lyn, N. Y, and grand prelate of the en-
campment
During the day enough knights arrived
in the city from all parts of the country
to swell the number now ..ere to some
thing like 10000. The Grand Commandery
of Massachusetts, arrived, today.

Philadelphia did not release Pitcher
Wheeler. He was farmed out to club
in the New York State League.
Collins has the record of making four
hits at clip. He accomplished this
great feat four times within is games
ard five times during the season.
Joe Quinn has made wager with
Dowd that he can produce a team of
native st. Louis players who can beat
the st. Louis leaguers. The game will
take place Oct. 16.
Comiskey says that Cincinnati will
have the best pitcher in the Western
League in big Bill Phillips of Indianap
oils. He says he would not trade Phil
lirs for six Phyles. Phillips won 20 and
lost 10 games in the Western League.
Talking about the big salary that
bob" Carruthers got ($6000) from ST.
Louis. it was mere bagatelle to what
John Clarkson got from the Boston
club. in 1890. John received a bonus Of
$4,000 for signing his contract, and re-
coived in addition a salary of $4,000.
which made $4,000 for his first season.
