10 PROVES HIMSELF A HERO,
Desperate Fight Between Sheriff.
Possee and Redskins.

Baker City, Oregon, October "a
special from Canyon City, states that a
young man who was member of the
sheriff's posse has just returned to Can
yon City, with the report Of a desperate
fight which occurred between the whites
and a renegade band Of Indians. The
nineteen white men and five buck war
riors were about forty feet apart when
the battle began.
George Cuttings, son of David Gut
tings, received a ball in the left arm, the
missile passing through his lungs. One
of the Indians who was shot and killed
fought with desperate courage After
being repeatedly shot, he continued fight
ing with his rifle until it was empty,
then fired his revolver until the muzzle
dropped SO low that the bullets struck the
ground near the dying redskins side.
George Cuttings. after he received a
wound. started in company with NJ.

trouble. The wounded man became so
weak that he was left near the trail.
propped up against a tree. When a
searching party went to look for Cuttings
they found his dead body near spring
where he had crawled. The posse con-
tinued pursuit and after running battle
killed all five Indians.
Settlers have been sent TO Canyon Civ
for more ammunition, stating that the
Indians are gathering around lee in
large numbers.
The trouble arose over the Indians ac-
cusing the whites of stealing horses.

THE CASE OF DREYFUs.
Court of Cessation Opens-The Case
Reviewed

Paris, October 27.~The Court Of
Cessation which is to decide on
the reopening of the Dreyfls
case, opened at noon to-day. Reporter
Bard introduced the proceedings with =
review of this now world-famous case,
in which he stated that the demand for
revision seemed justified by late develop
ments, among them the confession of
the forger and suicide. Lieutenant Col
onel Henry. He presented a number of
strong arguments in favor of reopening
the case. and closed by saying that
if the Bordereau, upon which experts III
chirography differed so widely, was the
principal factor in the condemnation of
Dreyfus, he thought his condemnation
ought to be revoked.
The belief is general tonight that the
court of Cessation will pronounce neither
for revision nor for annulment of the de-
cision as either course would entail awk-
ward consequences. To avoid these the
court may decide that as the affair now
presents itself there has been no treason
and that therefore the condemnation
pronounced upon Captain Dreyfus by
the court martial cannot be upheld.
The Courier du Soir says that the re-
Violations in the report Of NJ. Bard, be-
fore the Court of Cessation as to the
part played by some members of the

to result in reaction tending TO put an

and military authorities.

AGAINST THE WHITES.
Negroes and Other Fusioniss Hau'e for Almost
Nothing and White Men Made to
Pay Half Fare.
Newbern, \. c., Oct. %, 1898.

NeWbern, y. u, OCT. -, 1873.
To the Editor:
The present management Of the Allan
rest of the Fusion aggregation, can
descend to peanut politics wherever an
occasion warrants it--a single instance
will serve to reveal the smallness and
blind partisanship which governs the en-
tire administration, from President
Patrick down.
On September Dist last, the Republi
cans and Populists of this district held
their Senatorial Convention in the town
of Kinston. 1t was advertised to be Il
gala occasion for negroes and negro
lovers. The notorious Hyena Thompson
was billed to speak. and great time
generally was expected by the Fusion
lists.
In view of the Importance of the oc-
casion the management of the Atlantic
and North Carolina Railroad decided to
make a special rate. so that all persons
who desired to attend, might do so at
minimum cost. Consequently the tickets
for the round trip We're sold as follows:
From Morehead City, distance y miles.
~ GENTS, llOIt ANtNDtlL, diSldhI1 w
miles. so cents
Now mark the difference. The great
White Mans Convention at Goldsboro
tomorrow is generally recognized as one
of the most important occasions in the
history of the State. 1t is a meeting
which white men from all parts of the
State desire to attend. To make this
possible, a reduction in railroad fares is
an absolute necessity. Now, has the
Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad
done its duty in this line? We should
judge not 1t is true they have made
special rate. but that rate from Newbern
to Goldsboro. distance of 50 miles and
return, is S1.90. Just think of that!
A return ticket from Newbern to
Kinston. distance of SO miles, to at
tend Fusion love feast, only 30 cents;
while a round trip ticket from the same
place to Goldsboro. distance of 80
miles, to attend White Mans Conven-
ton, is sold for S1.90. 1t but serves to
show the depths to which the Fusion
gang has fallen.
But. thank God, reckoning day is
coming-on the Sth day of November,
every vestige of Fusionism. negroism
and Russellism will be swept from the
face of the earth by the votes of honest
and decent white men.

CATS PROTECT CHICKENS.
Three Semi-NiId Tabbies POunce
Upon a Hawk That Invaded n
Poultry Yard.

II. c. Barnett. who lives near Media
has in his possession the body of a
chicken hawk that was killed in pc
culiar manner, reports the Philadel-
phia Record. Barnett is a general
farmer, but makes a speciality of poul-
try raising. Since he has owned the
farm three old cats left by the former
tenant have hung about the place in a
semi-wild state. At first Barnett tried
to tame the animals, but they repulsed
all friendly overtures and took up their
abode in the barn. However, as they
did not harm the chickens they were
not molested.
The other day, while Barnett was on
his barn roof replacing some shingles
he heard a loud cackling in the yard
below. Looking down. he saw a num-
ber of his chickens huddled together
and seemingly greatly agitated. Then
he discovered II large hawk just pre-
pairing TO make a swOop. Barnett was
preparing to descend to the rescue
when the hawk made Il plunge at the
terrified fowls. The robber was lei
when there was quick patter of feet
and the three cats bounded into view
The hawk made an effort to escape
with its prey. but the cats came to the
rescue in the nick of time The hawk
made a spunky resistance, but the com
bined assault of the eats overpowered
him, although only after fierce bat
tie. Barnett had reached the battle
field by this time. and he rescued the
hawks body from the cats.
