TOOK FIFTY INDIAN PONIES

Sheridan, Wyo., October 3l-A sllirmish occurred today between band of rcne- gade Ute Indians and a troop of the Tenth cavalry on Bitter creek, accord ing to word brought by a special courier. The troops had captured fifty Ute ponies and frightened five herders. As the troop CTS were driving away the ponies loo Utes fully armed surrounded the cavalry men and the ponies, stampeding the ponies with revolver shots and native war whoops. The Indians recovered all their ponies, but five that were killed by the troops in an effort to stop the stam- pede
 The Indians did not fire at the soldiers, and the soldiers desisted from attacking the Utes, as the reds greatly outnumbered them
 Another detachment of the Tenth cav- airy that left Sheridan Monday night ran across wandering band of 100 Crow indians under command of Chief Sweet Mouth. The troopers drove the Crows back to the Crow agency. The Crows de- nied any intention of joining the Utes.
 Still another squad of the Tenth cavalry fell in with band of Cheyenne Indians. who. on representation that they were Hunllng, were allOWeu to go m peace
 Indian Guides Misled Them
 Settlers charge that Indian guides em- ployed by the federal troops are acting treacherously and leading the troops on false trails to keep the soldiers from overtaking the Utes.
 These settlers mention among the willy guides Womans Dress, American Horse, and White Cow Bull
 Some troopers of the Tenth cavalry marched all Tuesday night to capture a small band of utes reported to be en- camped on Bitter creek, but found no Indians at the designated place.
 Trainmen arriving tonight report that 100 Sioux are wandering fifty miles north west of Sheridan. The Utes, it is said, make forced marches northward by night, hiding from the soldiers by day in the broken country through which they are travelling The Utes should soon arrive in Birney, it is thought.

THIRD GAR RAISED

Atlantic City. N. J., October Sl.-The third and last car of the Thoroughfarc wreck was lifted from the water late to- car was in such a condition that it fell apart of it's own weight Chief of Police Maxwell and a squad of officers made a diligent search for any bodies that may have been wedged in the car, but found none. They picked up hats, coats and other wearing apparel.
 Mystery surrounds the disappearance of several persons who were known to have been on the train. Their bodies are either held in the thick mud, or have foated down with the tide. Among those known to have been passengers on the train was Charles B. Risley of Woodbury, N. J., who was en route to Pleasantville, but did not get off there. A cousin, Elton E. Risley, is in Atlantic City today. He says that he has made a careful search for Charles and he has not been seen. He, therefore, believes that he must have met death in the wreck. and that the body has been washed away. Then there, is Mrs. Selina Miller of Camden, who was coming here in company with her sister, Gertrude Hayes. They were to have joined the choir of St. James church. this city. Gertrudes body was found, but Mrs. Miller's has not been recov- cred.
 Joseph McElroy of Philadelphia and Harry Burch, Philadelphia, were also on the train.
 The local officials say the total death list is 62 It is contended by some that the total loss of life was about 70.
 The opening of. the inquest tomorrow morning will attract widespread interest. For that reason Coroner Gaskill will hold it in the circuit court room. and will limit the audience to witnesses and persons directly interested.

Painted In Blackest Colors.

Such severe arraignment has seldom been heard in this court room. He painted Count Boni in the blackest of colors, declaring him to be rapacious. brutal and licentious while the Countess was held up as the long suffering victim. Nothing was spared and nothing was glossed over In chronological order Mai ire Crppi recounted the story of the al- llance, which he said had been unhappy from the very honeymoon, owing to the incredible extrayagance of tic husband, who in five years had used up the colos- sal fortune that the daughter of Jay Gould had brought him.
 Count Bonlis inordinate and unsuitable demans for money, according to the at torney for the Countess, began as soon as the couple arrived in Paris, and led immediately to i'll treatment and abuse, and soon to blows The Countess was struck by her husband, according to her lawyer, the first time four months after the marriage. This was the result of a quarrel in connection with a dinner given by an American to which the Count was not invited. Intrigues and amours car ried on under the Countess very eyes were not long delayed.

 Hearst Appeals to RosaIski.
 W. R. Hearst appealed directly to Judge Otto A Rosalski, of the court Of gen eral sessions, today, to take vigorous criminal action against the board or elcc- tions of this city for alleged criminal neg ligence in failing to prevent the loss or destruction of petitions filed with the board to nominate candidates of the Independence league. Judge Rosalskl at once consulted District Attorney Jerome and together they decided to present the facts to the grand jury. MT. Hearst letter to Judge Rosalski was accompanied by seven affidavits.
 District Attorney Jerome, when seen after his conference with Judge Rosalski, said:
 Judge Rosalski called upon me this afternoon with reference to the apparent theft of petitions from the board of cleo tions. with the request that the matter go before the grand jury. He brought affidavits to me regarding the alleged thefts and after conference It was decided to submit the case in the frst place to a magistrate, as the inquiry may involve an extended examination.

Designate Four Society Women.

Maitre Cruppl detailed i!Gsons with four society women, designating them as Mime. A, Mme. E, Mime. c and Mme. D. Re ferring to the Counts affairs with the demi mondaines the lawyer told the story in plain, urN arnished fashion. He made no attempt at rhetoric, bat marshaled the facts from a big dossier before him. He read uneXpurgatei extracts from in- criminating letters anG gave the deposi- tions of servants and others indicating infidelity. @
 Only when Maltre crupp seached some particularly outrageous iSeidents of the Counts conduct did his voice, vibrating with pas T, rise until il penetrated the farthermost recesses of the big hall, and other times it would soften as he spoke of the hGmilated wife under such circum- stances, trying to bear up in the face of the woyld. As he spoke of the Counts efforts to prololg the case Ni.h q view of securing forgiveness and conciliation, the lawyer fairly sEouted

Many Recognize Their Identity.

Many recognize HcT 'ocHt'ty.
 Beneath the disguises of Mime. A, Mme. B, Mme c. and Mme. D, many persons in the courtroom recognized the identity of the women to whom the lawyer re- ferred and there was craning of necks as the courtroom listened to the read ing of burning words of passion in the letters, and the curious were especially absorbed in the salacious details set forth by the lawyer of the case of Mime. C. with whom code of window signals had been arranged. and whose maid did sen tinel duty at the door of the mansion to give the alarm in case the betrayed husband should return unexpectedly
 In this deposition 1t was set forth that a servant ushered Count Boni to Mime. C,s boudoir. Maitre Cruppi offered evil dence to prove that Count Boni had had simultaneously four apartments in Paris for the conduct of his love affairs. The most notorious of these apartments was at Neuilly They were hired in the names of servants. Count Bonis correspondence with women of fashion was conducted through his secretaries. The reading of letters from some demi nlondaines aroused great amusement in the room. Upon so- ciety women and demi mondaines alike, the count showered flowers and gifts, ac- cording to the attorney for the countess, even pawning precious articles bought by his wife to get the money or borrowing from usurers when he could not obtain credit
 Maitre Cruppi dwelt upon passage in 2 letter from Mime. B which he declared left no doubt that liason existed This -nassage was: q never believed you capable of making a dIshonorabe use of my letters"
 Maitre Crnppi disclosed the fact that in November. 1900, the civil tribunal of the Seine was about to appoint judicial trustee In the person of George J. Gould for the purpose of protecting the countess against the rapacity of her husband, but being unable to appease the creditors the
