Sheridan, Wyo., Oct. 30.-"We are
going to visit Chief White Cow Bull
Of the Cheyennes at any cost and will
not be taken back to Utah to starve.
We would rather die frst," Is the sub
stance Of the answer Of Chief Kan
napp to the soldiers.
The Indians are getting holder and
pay nc attention to the soldiers. A
fight was almost started during the
night when an Indian encountered a
sentinel of the Tenth cavalry. The
Indian refused to turn out Of the path
and rudely bumped against the sol
der. Only the Intervention of some
cavalrymen prevented a serious en-
counter, as other Indians came up.
AS the Utes are continually on the
move In small bands cowboys are
hired by the soldiers as scouts to keep
track of the Indians. The latest re-
port from the front locates the main
Ute band In the vicinity of Moorhead,
going rapidly toward the Cheyenne
reservation. Two more troop trains
are reported out of Fort Robinson.

REACHES FlFTY.THREE.

Train Goes Through Drawbridee, the

Escape Death.
Atlantic City, N. j., Oct. 30.-The to-
tai number Of dead in the appalling
wreck of the electric train which,
loaded with passengers, plunged into
the waterway separating this city from
the mainland, ia now placed at fifty
three. OF these f~orty-nine bodies have
been identified, two bodies remain un
claimed In the temporary mortuary
and two people are known to have
been drowned, but their bodies have
not ~ yet been recovered.
The wreck occurred at the draw
bridge which spans the T~horoughfare,
Q small waterway about one mile out
side Of this city. and was directly due
to the draw failing to work properly.
The fishing schooner Sinbad had just
passed through the draw. As the
schooner was entering the draw the
electric train hove In sight and start
Cd across the meadow from the direc-
ton of Pleasantville. Before the draw
had swung into position the three
ears. which were running at a high
rate Of speed, dashed onto the trestle.
With q luroh the forward car left the
rails and dashed into the guardrail.
the other two cars following. At the
point where the oars jumped the track
the top of the trestle Is nearly twenty
feet high. The first two cars were in
stantly submerged, but the third car
Of the train caught on an abutment
and remained suspended. 1t was this
car from which nearly all of the in
5ured escaped.
Rescuers Begin Work Promptly.
The news of the disaster was quick.
ly t~elegraphed to this city and in less
than an hour the work of rescue had
been begun. At the time of the acct
dent the tide, which rises about ten
feet, was running in and the work Of
the divers was necessarily slow.
1t was not until several hours later
that the divers were able to make any
progress. Then the awful evidences
of the disaster became more apparent.
When the two cars struck the bottom
of the waterway they stood almost on
end and the first a to descend re-
ported that the victims were packed
in the lower ends of the submerged
cars so tightly that it was difficult to
move them.
Prosecutor Albertson, Coroner Gas
kill, Captain Woodruff and Chief Of
Police Maxwell superintended the re-
moval of the bodies from the scene of
the disaster. AS each body was
brought to the surface it was searched
and the effects were taken In charge
by Captain Woodruff. The valuables
were placed in packages, which were
numbered and a corresponding num-
Der vas placed on the body.

JUNIOR LEAGUE STANDING.
FATAL BASKETBALL.

New York. Jan S.--Meningitis. it was declared yesterday by Coroners' Physi clan Wuest, was the cause of the death of John T. Kiendl. 19 years old. the son of Adolph Kiendl, the Brooklyn lawyer. The young man died sudden ly on Saturday at his home, 116 Hen dirk street. East New York.
 The disease. it is believed, was the result of an injury received in playing basketball at the Erasmus Hall High school. of which young Kiendl was a student. The lad had made reputa- ton for himself as a basketball player. and in addition to being member of Erasmus Hall team was member of the Twenty-sixth Ward Young Mems Christian association team. He was an athlete and stood six feet in height. His ambition was to become a lawyer. like his father and uncle.
 It is thought that he met with the injury which indirectly caused his death while practicing with the Bras mus Hall team on Friday. Some hours afterward he complained of a severe headache and chills, and his death oc- cured on Friday. The funeral ser vices will be held to-fnorrow morning at the Kiendl home by the Rev Floyd Appleton of St Clements church.

BASE BALL NOTES.

Waterbury's re-entry 10 the league will necessarily cause A readjustment of the playing schedule. for Waterbury will hardly stand for the allotment of home dates that Meriden usually got. Norwich. too. deserves better at the hands of the schedule framers and should demand more careful considera- tion by those who are detailed to ar range it.
 The following players have been signed by Captain Tighe of the Nor wich team: Plunkett, Bridges and Goodwin. catchers: Wade. Johnson and Stevens. pitchers: Monahan. Susman of Terre Haute. shannon. Nichols. a younger brother of Arthur Nichols. the ex-major league backstop. and Perkins. infielders. and John Golden. outfielder.
 After reading about the presentation of the base ball that won the worlds championship fin the New York-Athletic series to a Portland sport by Mike Donlin of the Giants. President George F.. Cox of the Hartford Fan club made contract with the management of the Hartford team for the base ball that wins the 1906 pennant in this league. providing that Hartford wins the race.

THE DIAMOND ALL WANT JOBS
Hundreds of Applicants For Posi- tions on Waterbury Team Another Local Player to
 Be Tried Out.

Manager Harry Durant of the Wa terbury base ball team is thinking seri- ously of establishing letter bureau for the reception of applications for po- sitions on the local team. Already he has received 100 letters from all parts Of the country from players good, bad and indifferent, all anxious to get d wback at the purse strings of the local base ball financiers. Many of these letters have gone the way of useless correspondence, but some of them have been filed away for future reference. There are a whole lot of ball players looking for positions in this league and many of the names if they were made public would surprise even the most ardent fan. All applications will be put through the threshing machine and the cbaff will be separated from the wheat. Waterbury wants the best and proposes 10 get it if money can buy it.
 Manager Durant will give another local player chance to make good. and from the record of this player he ought to do well. He is Simon Me Donald. the catcher last season for the Washington Hill club. He is one of the most natural hitters that has ever faced the pitchers in the City league, and he is also fine catcher With d little coaching this chap ought to make it go and he evidently will. He will be given every opportunity to make good. Lines are out now for three fast twirlers and two of them will be sur prises if they can be landed. The man. agement has not yet secured the man suitable to take charge of the team, but every effort is being made in that direction.

Manager Harris says Matthews was fin fair shape and fought hard. but did not show at his best. He is capahe of doing much better. and if they meet again Harris thinks Matty will beat Bezensh.
 Harris says Matty was stronger at the finish than Bezenah. although he is quite willing to give the local man credit for being better than he ever was and making a great fight on Fri day night Matthews left for his home in Brooklyn last night
