INDIAN UPRISING.
Wyoming Sheriff and Three of His Depu-
ties Slain in Desperate
Battle

Cheyenne, Wyo., Nov. 2-Sheriff Mil
Ter and three of his deputies are reported
killed, one deputy wounded and three In
dams killed and several wounded in a
fight which has taken place near the
Bad Land creek, forty miles north Of
Lusk, Wyo., between rowing band or
Crow Indians, who had been slaughter
ing game and resisted arrest
1t is not known whether an ambuscade
was laid for the officers on Lightning
creek and scene Of the battle or whether
the indians resisted arrest, but meager
details indicate the former. Several
posses have started after the Indians and
Gov. Chatterton may order out the
militia.
The Indians who participated in the
battle near Cheyenne river are now hur-
rying towards the Bad lands near Pine
Ridge agency, and once there they will
be practically secure from capture. It
is believed they have sent couriers ahead
to the agency and it is feared there may
be a general uprising.
The information in the governors
hands says the Indians are Sioux from
Pine Ridge agency, but another report
says they are Crows from the Montana
reservation.

Gigantic Swindle.

the company, of attempts to mislead and
deceive the investing public by erroneous

CALLS FOR THANKSGIVING
President Roosevelt Issues Seasons Proc
amation-Holiday Falls on
November 26

Washington, D. c., Nov. 2.-The Presi-
dent has issued his annual THANKSGIVING
proclamation in the following terms:
BY the President of the United States of
America-A Proclamation:
Inc season is at hand when according to
the custom of our people it falls upon the
President to appoint a day of praise and
thanksgiving to God.
During the last year the Lord has dealt
bountifully with u.s. giving us peace at
home and abroad and the chance for our
citizens to work for their welfare unhfn-
dered by war, famine plague. 1t be-
nooyeS US not only to rejoice greatly be-
cause of what has been given is, but to
accept it with solemn sense OF RESPONSE
bllty, realizing that under heaven it rests
with ourselves to Show that we are
entrusted to our care
In no other place and at no other time
people by the people and for the people
been tried on SO vast scale here In
our own country in the opening years OF
the Twentieth century.
Failure would not only be a dreadful thing
for US, but a dreadful thing for all man
kind because it would mean loss of hope
for all who believe in the power and the
righteousness of liberty.
Therefore, in thanking God for the mer-
cies extended to US in the past, we beseech
him that he may not withhold them in the
TO war steadfastly for good and against all
the forces of evil, public and private.
We pray for strength and light so that
in the coming years we may with cleanli-
ness, fearlessnesS and wisdom do our al
lotted work on the earth in such manner
as to show that we are not altogether I'M
worthy of the blessings we have received.
Now, therefore, l., Theodore Roosevelt,
President of the United States, do hereby
designate as day of general thanksgiving
Thursday, the Goth day of the coming No
vember, and do recommend that throughout
the land people cease from their wonted
occupations and in their several homes and
places of worship bender thangs unto AL
mighty God for his manifold mercies.
In witness whereof l have hereunto set
my hand and caused the seal of the United
States to be affixed
Done at the city of Washington this 31st
day of October, in the year of our Lord one
thousand nine hundred and three and of
the independence of the United States the
one hundred and twenty-eighth.

FIRE ON COMFY ISLAND.
Drunken Men Start Blaze Which
Wipes Out Bowery.
WANTED EXCITEMENT.
Financial Loss Is $500 900 and One Per
son Is Known to Have Persisted
in the Flames.

New York, Nov 2.-Fourteen solid
blocks of buildings in ruins, one life lost,
two score persons injured, 500 persons
homeless and a financial loss of 1,oOO,-
600 is the outcome Of an alleged drunken
freak which resulted in the fire at Coney
Island yesterday.
Frank Connolly, p years old, and
Peter Sicily, 3S years old, former walters
in the Albatross hotel at Sheepshead
walk and the Bowery, are locked up,
charged with arson, on the strength of
statement made by Barney Wolf, pro-
prietor of Raine's Law hotel at the
island.
Wolf says that on Friday night Con-
molly and Sicily in the presence of a
crowd said that things were getting duh
on the island and they believed they
would liven the place up with fire.
Wolf says he saw them start fire,
which he put out. Again yesterday, he
asserts, they started a second fire, but
he arrived just as the flames shot up and
was unable to control them as he had
done on Friday and he gave the alarm.
When he saw him own place go up like
finder and heard his brother-in-law, Al
bert Rubin, had his skull fractured by
leaping from a window to save himself,
he told the police of Connolly and Skel-
ly. The story Of the alleged incendiar-
ism was all over the island While the
flames were at their height and feeling
against Connolly and Sicily ran high.
Today there is a great scarcity Of food
on the island and hundreds are suffer
ing for the ordinary necessities of life.
Skelly and Connolly upon arrangement
pleaded not guilty to a charge of suspi-
cion Of arson, and they were remanded
for examination on November 4.
The burned area extended from Til
yous walk south to Jones walk, where
a brick wall saved the rest Of the resort,
and from the Bowery to the ocean, a
distance Of seven blocks. For two blocks
the flames cut a swath eastward Of the
Bowery reaching to Surf avenue, the
principal thoroughfare of the resort. In
all this territory but two buildings were
standing tonight untouched.
T. f. Henderson's music hall, erected
two years ago Of steel and brick and
costing $25O,OOO, and Louis Stauchs
pavilion, valued at a like sum, are
among the buildings destroyed.
The center of the line where the fire
lay thickest was the Bowery, a narrow
board-walked alley thoroughfare dedicat-
ed to cheap dance halls and side shows.
