This morning at about one o'clock
Marshal Uric was awakened by some
one calling to him and knocking on
his door. Investigation showed the
person to be Indian William, VINO
implored him to come out to the In
dian camp and take charge OF Lam
ante from st. George named Amerl-
cats, who he said had cut him with
knife. william was bleeding cop
iously from a cash about three inches
long on his forehead, extending from
the corner of his eye to the roots OF
his hair.
The officer dressed himself and cal
ling to his aid, Dan E. Matheson, he
accompanied the redskin to his wicki-
up, where he found four other In
ians and half dozen squaws, besides
two or three papooses Three of the
Indians, William, Americats and
Squint and all the squaws were drunk,
and general rough-house was in
progress or at least, was just subsid-
ing. Before Americats was fully
aware of his presence the officer had
the darbies on, him and the rest see
ing the wisdom of keeling quiet, offe-
red no further violence to eachother.
Taking charge of his prisoner, the
Marshal started for town, but had
gone only few steps when the squaws
shouted that William was cheap
mad" and was going to shoot. Re-
turning to the camp the officer found
that William had gotten possession Of
gun and was in the humor to use it
on some one; but seeing the marshal
back he gave up the weapon and pro-
missed that he would go peaceably to
bed.

The Indians were Interviewed after
daylight in relation to where they
procured their "fire- water" and sale
that they bought two bottles of Dixie
wine from Isaac Duffin, who was cam
ped down at Hyrum Corry's CAM
house in the northern part of town.
AS soon as it was found that the
natives would testify against the man,
complaint was sworn to and war
rant issued for Dufiin's arrest. Ii
the mean time, Duffin had started fol-
home, but the marshal was only about
fifteen minutes behind him. Still he
had hot chase, as Duffiin seemed in
hurry to get home and was 'goinl
some" Although the officer rode
his horse from Cedar to Hamilton g,
distance of over six miles, in O
quarter of an hour, his man was max
ing the dust fly mile on the other
side. About half way between Ham.
ilton's and Kanarra the officer came
up with tho fugitive, whose horses,
streaming with perspiration, were on
a swinging trot. 1t took but short
time to make Duffin acquainted with
the nature of his errand, and soon
they were on the way lack. At
Hamilton's the prisoner left his wag-
on and one horse and rode in to. Cedar
on the other one.
He said to the marshal, 81 could
have got away from you If ! had wan

cit seemed to me that you coul d
not have wanted to much worse. "
On arriving in town Mr.. Dufiin was
placed in tho lower story of the city
hall, where, at last accounts, he still
was. His story is that the Indians
