WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-The charges
and specifications upon which Commits
sary Eagan is to be tried this week have
been given to the press. The document
presents two charges. Charge one al
leges conduct unbecoming an officer and
a gentleman by reading before the war
investigating commission the attack ON
General Miles, in which Eagan called
Miles liar i'll every organ of his body;
charge two alleges that Eagan is guilty
of conduct to the prejudice of good Or
der and military discipline by making
the same statements before the war in
vestigation commission concerning
Miles. The precise nature of General
Eagan's plea to this charge and specifi-
cations has not yet been determined

cerned, it is understood that General

CHADRoN. Neb., Jan. PA crime
which has attracted great attention
throughout this section, owing to its
rarity, occurred on the Pine Ridge In
dian reservation few days ago. A
mounted Indian policeman in patrolling
the reservation, discovered the body of
a woman. 1t was mutilated and showed
that murder had been committed.
Indications pointed to the guilt of the
woman's husband, Good Shot, and he
was taken to Deadwood to await his
trial before the United States court. II
is the first instance on record of crime
where an Indian has killed his squaw.

the marshal was there to arrest them.
They resisted and the officer called on
bystanders, who went to his assistance.
The desperadoes then opened fire,
which was returned by those armed

PeOria's Death Prophet Roughly Handle

PEORIA, Ills, Jan. 25.-Peoria' s death
prophet, Meier Goodman, who created
so much excitement last week in pre-
dieting the death of Israel Block, visited
William Faerger, who is sick with the
grip. A number Of Faerger's friends
were present, several of whom were in
cluded in his death list. His entrance
created stir among the friends of the
sick man and when he began to speak
one of the spectators, the date of whose
death is set for June Is and whose child
died on the date fixed, nearly tainted.
Some of the sterner nerved of the party,
after moments pause, broke the spell
by falling upon the prophet, beating
him and thrusting him out into the
street, but his influence remained be-
hind and consequently there is a good
deal of anxiety among those who were

Ice Bridge at Niagara Breaks Away Wit
Several People Anoat on 1t.

Ice Bridge at Niagara Breaks Away With
Several People Afoat ON 1t.
NIAGARA FALLS, Jan. "a. - While
nearly 100 persons were on the great ice
bridge in the gorge of the Niagara river
the icy mass was broken loose from the
banks at either end. There were thous-
ands of sightseers in the parks and upon
the upper steel arch enjoying the beauty
Of the crystalline structure. They
heard the cracking of the ice and saw
the great mass as it was moved by the
swift current of the river and hundreds
shouted warning to those on the bridge.
Some OF these venturesome persons had
only gone a short distance from the
river bank, while others were out in the
center OF the bridge and were crossing
the river. Those near the end soon
found safety, but further out toward
the center were number Of small
boys. Before they were fairly started
for the shore the great bridge was
loosened from its fastenings. Then it
became a race for life, but the young
sters, amid wild shouts, finally reached
the shore. 1t was then seen that all ex-
cept three persons had reached places of
safety. One was man not far out
from the New York side. The others
were man and woman, who were
fleeing across the ice toward the Can
adam side. The man near the New
York shore kept his courage well. His
eyes were directed toward the steel
arch, under which he would pass if the
ice continued to move down the river.
Onward it went and just as he reached
the bridge he leaped from the ice and
caught the arch as it rises not far out
from the abutment. The man and
woman reached the Canadian shore.
The ice is piled in great mass about
