IN EASTERN WYOMING.

Severe Punishment inflicted on Braves

Seventy-fivc. in Band.
Denver, Nov. 3.-Five hundred men,
including sheriffs' posses, augmented
by volunteers from the ranches adj
jacent, are securing the country in
the vicinity of Lightning creek, in
eastern Wyoming, in search of the
band of Indians which fought battle
with Sheriff Miller's posse. killing the
sheriff and one deputy named Eos
senburg. The latest advices are to
the effect that an Indian ',attle has
been fought and ten Indians killed
and eleven others captured. but this
has not as yet been verified.
News from the scene of the trouble,
which is twenty-five miles from tele-
graphic communication, is very meag-
er. The Indians, seventy-five in num-
Der, said to be under the leadership of
Charlie Carries Elk, are supposed to
be Sioux from the Pine Ridge and
Rosebud agencies in South Dakota,
They have been hunting in the Con-
verse country, Wyoming, in violation
of the game laws of the state. Sheriff
Miller, with posse, went to the
scene of their depredations last Sat
urday for the purpose of arresting
the Indians. The Indians had re-
ceived warning of the coming Of the
whites and prepared an ambuscade
for them. The posse would have been
entirely wiped out but for the fact
they we're proceeding cautiously and
were in measure prepared for some
trick on the part of the Indians.
At the first volley from the Indians
Sheriff Miller and his deputies hastily
ran to cover. and then ensued a gen.
uine Indian fight. The whites found
refuge behind trees and boulders.
It is thought that at least six Indi-
ans were killed and several others
wounded, among the latter being
Eagle Feather, sub-chief The
battle lasted almost an hour, when
the Indians began to make their es-

They carried their dead and wounded
with them and are now believed to be
well on their way to the bad lands of
Nebraska. The officers did not at
tempt to follow, but sent courier to
Lusk, with message to Governor
Chatterton. The governor wired the
interior department at Washington
that the Indians must be Immediately
arrested For the past two weeks
the band of Indians has been slaught-
ering game. In addition the settlers
have been complaining bitterly that
the Indians have been killing their
cattle. Settlers warned the leaders of
the band to leave the country, but the
Indians only laughed at them. They
claimed that the government had so
reduced the amount of the rations
that they were forced to kill game to
keep from starving Charlie Carries
Elk openly declared himself that If
he and his followers were driven too
far they would fight.
A telegram from Newcastle con-
firms the first reports Of a second
battle fought between the Converse
county posse and retreating Indians,
A posse has left Newcastle for Edge

was said, of determining what course to
pursue regarding the vacancies on the po-
lice force to be filed by the Board OF
Aldermen. 1t is believed by some that it
is the policy of the big Nine to hold
these vacancies open until after election,
in the hope of gaining votes against dis
pensary from all of the candidates. Other
people say tins is not the cause. Then
it is also said that at least two of the big

on Near Penny's
Pond.

Mr.. H. IS. Gill, of this city, was fired
on last Thursday near Neuse, about six
miles from the city. The bullet stuck into
the back part of the buggy where it was
mbedded.
Mr.. Gill was seen yesterday and asked
to give an account CT the occurrence. He
said: in the afternoon / drove to the
home of friend at Neuse and left about
10 o'clock on my return &c Raleigh. When
within six miles of home, and driving
slow, 1 was met in the road by three ne
groes who halted me and said they
wanted to ride. / stopped my horse and
told them l was not in the habit OF rid
ing strangers. l then drove on when
they commenced cursing me. l had not
gene over one hundred yards when I
hear the report of a pistol or rifle, and
enc bullet struck the rear Of my buggy.
Mr. Gill says he could not recognize
any Of them, but knew they were ne
groes Mr.. Gill lives near the city, at
the Taylor homestead.
Another alleged shooting at persons on
the road took place last Friday night.

were fired on from some one in the woods
The bullet struck one of the rims of the
carriage, bending it. The party who
did the firing could not be seen and ii
cannot be told whether it was a white
man or negro.
The person who did this shooting is
supposed to be somebody who objects to
Raleigh people fishing in this pond. The
pond is a public one to all and charge
Of ten cents is made for fishing there.
Such outrages as the above should be
thoroughly investigated and the parties

A Prolongation of the Crisis
(By the Associated Press.)


London, Sept. 29.-Premier Balfour and
Lord Miner had three hours conference
today at the formers residence in Downing
street. In the course of the afternoon the
Premier also saw Mr.. Ritchie, who re
signed the office of Chancellor of the
Exchequer, and others.
Nothing has yet been divulged regarding
the personnel of the new Cabinet.
Five thousand tickets, representing the
full capacity of the hall were mailed today
for Mr. Chamberlains meeting at Glas
gov October g. The widespread interest
in the event is demonstrated by the fact
that applications for upwards of $4,000
tickets were received.
London, Sept 30.-A prolongation o.
the ministerial cricis seems likely, judging
from newspaper comment, to still further
discredit the government. The apparent
Waiting for Lord Miners decision is com
mented on in Conservative as well as Lib
eral papers as emphasizing the dearth Of
first class statesmen in the Conservative
ranks. A large section of the Unionist
party IS FESTIVE under the report that Mr.
Balfour is supporting Mr.. Brodrick in the
iatter's determination to remain at the
War Office.
Lord Miners reluctance to accept of
flee is attributed among other reasons tC
hesitancy TO commit himself as a party
man. 1t is said that he desires to hold
himself aloof from the party politics.
Another point made by the Liberal pa
pers is the absence of a responsible Chan
cellor of the Exchequer at the moment that
the country is experiencing a serious fl
nancal crisis, needing the presence of a
strong finance minister. ~

since the dispensary was put in opera
ton 1t is hard to believe as one walks
along the quiet, thoroughly orderly streets
of the little town today that three years
age it had tough reputation among its
neighbors, and that the criminal expenses
of the town were at all greater than the
average among places of the same size.
Yet many of the best men of the town
