The seventh conviction in three weeks
in the naturalization fraud cases was
found Thursday when the Jury in the casa

Dodge in the United States district court
at Boston rendered a verdict Of guilty.
Sullivan was charged with perjury as A
witness on the naturalization papers OF
John ". Molloy, who was convicted in
the same court last Tuesday. Sentence
was suspended to allow the flling Of a
bill Of exceptions, the defendant being al

ruin. Tho chsrred remains Of the
lodges were all of human habitation
that remained standing. Bones and
skulls were strewn about In great
abundance. The Indian graves ele-
waited OF four poles had been broken
down and their contents scattered.
A horde OF wolves fed from the CHASTITY
repast at their approach. while a crowd
OF buzzards wheeled above their heads
with angry cries at being thus dis
turbed.
The rumors were indeed true. While
making an attack on the eastern
white settlements another portion Of
the ferocious ~Iroquois c%onfederacy had
gone westward to annihilate their red
enemies. No signs Of human life we're
there left to tell of the disaster that
had b~efallen. Tonti fastened with his
men on down to the widening in the
river ear which Fort Creve-Couer had
been erected. This, too, was a ruin, al
though destroyed by other hands than
the %Iroquois. The uncompleted vessel
still stood on the stocks, on whose
side was scrawled, "Nous sommes tous
sauvages." This told the story of fur
Their treachery and desertion on the
part Of La Sales followers. Leaving
the most of his party at this spot,
Tonti continued his Journey with POM
pom and a canoe full Of picked men.
They descended the river until they
reached the Mississippi, but no traces
of La Sale were to be found. AS they
progressed they could discern the spot
where the retreating Illini had camped
on one side of the stream, while on
the opposite side their foes had kept
a sharp watch over their retreat. Re-
turning again, they rested with their
entire force at the site CT Fort Creve-
Couer. The autumn vas rapidly pass
ing, SO they finally determined to go
back to Fort Miami and take up winter
quarters, sending out search parties in
all directions to try and discover any
trace Of La Sale and the remnant Of
his men
