DENIED BY II. c. PAYNE
POLITICIANS HAVE NOT ATTEMPTED
TO SHIELD GRAFTERS.
Postmaster General Says There Has
Been No Effort to Suppress Results
of the investigation.

Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-'No sena-
tor, representative, or any one else
has made any attempt so far as I am ad-
vised, to prevent the postoffice investiga-
ton from being pushed to the fullest ex-
tent"
This statement was made to-day by Post
master General Henry c. Payne. when his
attention was directed to the reports that
politicians had endeavored to have the
results suppressed and the investigators
prevented from striking men who are high
in the councils of the party.
The Postmaster General announced at
the beginning of the scandal that all de-
velopments would be made public at the
pt oper time. The proper time in his opinion
is when the investigation has been con-
cluded. The results will then be given pub
licity in the report which is now being
prepared by Fourth Assistant Bristow.
There have been wild rumors from time
to time that men high in the councils of the
Republican party would be enmeshed in
the scandal But the officials who are fa-
miliar with affairs deny absolutely that
there is any ground for them. An official
said to-day: "No one more prominent than
those already under indictment is involved
in the postal scandal There may be some
new names in the next batch of indictments,
but some of those already under Indictment
are involved in the case now pending be-
fore the grand jury.
The administration does not apprehend
that the postal scandal will result in any
injury to the party in the next campaign.
There have been repeated reports that an
effort was being made to "whitewash" the
department, but the record of eighteen
men and one woman indicted on evidence
unearthed by the fourth assistant together
with number of dismssals and more To
follow is one which the department is
willing to base its claim for the confidence
of the people.
Fourth Assistant Bristow is busily en-
gagged i'm his report to the Postmaster Cen
eral but will not have il completed for
several weeks. The Bristow report will
be voluminous and will contain a recital of
corruption and fraud that is certain TO

rived and no clue TO his identity

Oranges Cheap

Yesterday we went over to the
Ford & Co.'S. Commission house
to buy oranges. They had them.
Different varieties, and wanted
to sell them bad. They wanted
to get out of the orange business
and we wanted to get further in.
We are in and now want to get
out, and have placed these oran-
ges at 10 cents a dozen in order
TO do so.
We've got 'em, all kinds and
they'er good, and if you'll buy
some you'll buy more of some
and some more of some of the
same kind than you can buy at
some other places, for the same
money.

INDIAN BATTLE.
WAR BETWEEN NAvAJOS AND
LAGuNAS ENDS IN DEFEAT
OF FORMER.
Rich Laguna Indian Slaughtered in
Cold Blood.-His Trihesmen Waiting
for Opportunity to Avenge Him.

Word comes from the little village
Of Laguna, on the Santa Pacific Of a
bloody battle between The native in.
habitants and the fierce Nayajos, and
OF killing of one OF the chief men of
the former tribe.
On the night of the 2ith of this
month band Of drunken Navajos
rode into the Paguate Indian pueblo,
eight miles from Laguna, and made
an attempt 10 clean out that village.
In the battle that followed the Indiars
Of that place got very much the best
of 1t. the Navajos being severely
beaten and forced 10 retreat with
their wounded The Navajos rode out
of the pueblo vowing vengence on
the first Laguna they should meet
Since the 26th, two days after the
battle, Jose Ensino, rich Laguna
Indian, has been missing from his
home. Hundreds of Indians have
been securing the country in search
Of him, sure that he had been mur-
dered, since his horse had returned
to the pueblo, the saddle covered with
blood. Today at noon the body was
found lying in the bottom of q deep
arroyo three miles from Laguna, the
condition showing that Ensino had
been beaten to death with clubs and
stones. The trail leading to the ar
royo showed that Ensino had been
riding with two Others, his horse be-
ing in the middle. Who these com.
panions were 1t Is not known II they
were from Laguna il is probable that
they, too, were murdered.
The Laguna Indians are terribly ex-
cited over the murder and do not
hesitate to declare that il is the work
Of the angry Navajos. They are now
anxious only for an opportunity to
avenge the bloody work.
The battle and it's ugly result Is on
ly another outbreak of the long feud
which has existed between the Nava-
jos and the Lagunas from the mem
ory OF the Oldest tribesman and which
has been smouldering for the past
few years.
