KILLS AN INDIAN
WITH A COBBLE STONE
Tommy SeluSkin Meets Death in a
Battle with Rocks Between Him
self and George Ward.

Tommy Seluskin an Indian brave of
result of a more or less drunken row be-
tween Indians and white men. He was
MORALLY wounded last Thursday even
ing at the Big Cottonwood corral on
the Ahtanum, near Tampico, in fight
with George Ward of he Ahtanum, who
threw rock at the Indian striking him
full in the forehead inflicting fatal
wound
From the testimony gathered at the
inquest which was held at Sessions I'M
dertaking establishment Saturday night
and Monday morning the following
story has been deduced. There were
about ten white men and half as many
Indians rounding up horses near
the Big Cottonwood corral, on the
Upper Ahtanum, in the vicinity of
Tampico. A band of horses were gath
cred into the corral on Tuesday evening,
May 9Th, when controversy arose be-
tween a white man and Tommy Selus-
kin over certain sleekeared horse
which both claimed. 1t was then 6
O'Clock and in order to put quietus on
the affair Ed Slavin owner of the corral
ordered everybody to clear out for the
night, both white men and Indians.
Tommy Seluskin was somewhat under
the influence of liquor as was also the
majority of the white men according to
the testimony of the Indians. In fact
it appears quite bunch of cowboys,
white men and Indians were inebriated
ut least to the stage of 'don't care what
happen" Seluskin refused to move,
and exclaimed, II can whip any white
man in the crowd" His brother, jim
Seluskin, and Slavin then became en-
tangled in a row in which the latter
knocked the Indian down and hand to
hand encounter ensued between them
At this stage of the rough house Tommy
Seluskin, who as yet had been sitting
upon his horse, jismounted and picking
up a couple of rocks squared himself to
lay out the whole bunch of white men.
1t was plain case of give or take and
George Ward, who has the reputation
of being quiet boy, unobtrusive and
always gentlemanly, let fly with a good
sized cobble stone which struck the
Indian on the forehead and ended the
evenings trouble. The white men then
carried Tommy Seluskin down to the
creek, bathed his head and made bed
for him. The next morning the wounded
Indian got up and taking his horse rode
off for his reservation home where early
Saturday morning he died.
The remains were brought to this
city Saturday and an inquest began
its probings which concluded Monday
noon with the exoneration of George
Ward for having killed Tommy Seluskin
in self defence. The dead man was
turned over to his father and relatives
for interment.-

THE TUSCALOOSA ExPLosIoN.
Two or Three Months Required to Re-
 pair the Dama1A.


 Tuscaloosa, Aug. 6-(Special.) .)-The streets of Tuscaloosa have been crowded all day with hundreds of people who are visiting the scenes of the blowing up of the THscaloosa Light and Tee Company's s lOO horse power boiler. Many night watchmen were employed by business firms whose stores were damaged by the blowing up, and this morning at an tarly hour large numbers of carpenters were busily engaged tearing away the spIin- tered dmeber of several buildings and will be kept engaged for several days to come. It is thought that by special ef- fort the electric plant can be put into operation in the course of from two to three months.
 Portions of the plant and boiler were found at Lock 1, on the north side of the plant, half mile away, while others were found on the golf links a mile south east Brick and small scraps of iron were thrown in many sections of the city. The great boiler, after tearing through hve brick walls, is on the second floor of the building. occupied by Friedman Ss Rosenau, and on account of It's size will have to be torn to pieces, and removed in sections. The buildings through which 1t passed are without large sections of roofing and walls.
 Those who saw the explosion say that the boiler shot upwards some five hum dred feet and then was thrown due west ward. and that 1t went with such rap idity that 1t made loud rumbing noise as 1t passed through the air. The Light Company was fortunate in having about 60 tons of ice on hand at the time of this explosion. There will be a meeting of the stockholdess this afternoon.
 A M. McGehee 0essee) this afternoon stated that the company would probably make arrangements with the Tuscaloosa Cotton Seed oil Company to place It's dy- namos in the plant. and if this was done the city will have lights within ten days
