The rioting began when some white

in the vicinity, and an organized attack
was made on the negroes, who were

fries, the heavyweight champion of the
world, was the feature of a boxing car
nival given Christmas night in Conven-
ton hall. He boxed six rounds with his
brother, Jack Jeffries, but declined to
make a speech when called upon Jack
Beauscholte and Jack Graham, who
were scheduled to fight ten rounds,
went the full limit and the bout vas de-
clared a draw. It was a rather tame
affair. Beauscholte did most of the
fighting, with Graham making an oc-
c~asional rally and mixing 1t up a bit.
Or the whole, however, their bout was
hardly what had been expected of 1t,
but the decision was a popular one.
About two thousand people saw the
show.

Probate Judge ScovilIe the other day

three weeks ago, was insane. The bride
was Sarah Macumber, from whom he was

have the officers take him into custody.
An inquest was held in probate court in

This extraordinarily liberal entry is re-

Pawnee Indians Think the Buffalo Is
ABOUT to Return.

transferring from the Santa Fe stock
yards to Pawnee Bills ranch south of
town that he had to be killed. The
meat was given by Major Lille to the
Indians for a Christmas buffalo dance.
The Indians have been dancing and
pow-wowfng EVER since. They claim the
vast herds Of buffalo are coming back
to this country and many of the In
dams have notified the white lessees to
vacate their ranches at once as they
wish to lay the fences low so the buff
falo will have full sway of the country.
The white people in the remote parts
of the reservation are coming into Paw
nee and report the indians are acting in
a threatening n towards them
avn Bill has placed mounted guards
around his buffalo ranch, as the Indians
are camping in the timber west of there
and in sight of the herd, and from their
suspicious action he thinks they intend
to liberate the herd and perhaps kill
them.
The United States Indian agent at
that point has been notified, and has
made a report to the commissioner of
Indian affairs at Washington.
