two of the number were
shot, Edward Wright and a
soldier by the name of Shulty,

Shulty when found had his
head cut off, also his arms and
legs,and he had been d;sem-

the abdominal cavity. Mr..
Wright was also badly mutila-

The firm of Harris, Whitford
& Bentley, who were engaged
in the transportation of goods
from st. Paul to this point and
thence by flat boat to Fort Gar
ry, had a farm south of Aber-
crombie on the Minnesota side.
This was in 1862. They put in
the government herd fourteen
yoke of oxen and eight head of
horses for protection; but the
willy Sioux surrounded and
took possession of them by driv-
ing them to the Indian head
quarters. The total number of
the herd was three hundred.
The fret attack having been
made, Mr.. Whitford, in com

killed on his way from Fort
Garry to Fort Abercrombie

the government paid the COM

sieged full seven weeks, when
about two thousand men under
Captain Burger came to re-

"Tbe Heir to the Hoorah."

1.-THE Heir to the Hoorah," the Amer
lean comedy by Paul Armstrong, staged
and produced by the late Kirke La
shelle, which kept New York laughing
for seven months, and won all the favor
that critical Boston and Chicago had to
bestow, comes to the Jefferson theatre
wednesday night. The fun in the new
comedy is plentiful and lively, and ac-
cording to the report of qualified ex-
perts, the fabric lacks little of becoming
pure farce at times. But the touches
of pathos are deftly and aptly inter-
woven, SO that the classification of 1.-The
Heir to the Hoorah'' in the more digni-
fed column has never been questioned
by the best judges.

RENT RIOTS START
IN NEW YORK CITY
Protesting Tenants Resist the
Greedy Landlords

POLICE CRACK SOME HEADS

New York, January 5-Incipient rent
riots broke out on the East Side today as
a result of the tension between the land
lords and the striking tenants. and before
the disorders were quelled by police re-
serves, many combatants were injured
and five were arrested The police used
their clubs freely but there was no way
to obtain the number injured as they
were hurried away and cared for by
friends. The disorders were general
throughout the affected district. The
most serious trouble occurred on East
Eleventh street where a landlord who
had been unable to collect rent ordered
his tenants to remove the American So
cialistic flags with which the strikers
had decorated the tenement.
The landlord was hooted and jerred by
the tenants and other strikers who were
holding a mass meeting in the house and
he called the police. The striking ten
ants resented the appearance of the off
GERS and in the clash that followed the
reserves used their night sticks vigor-
ously. Five protesting tenants. some of
whom were battered were arrested. The
offended decorations were removed. Hard
ly had order been restored at this point
when the police reserves were hurried to
East Twelfth street where striking ten
ants were making demonstration against
a landlord who had objected to the flying
of the red flags over his property The
crowd failed to obey the police order to
dispense and was set upon with night
sticks. One woman, 1t is reported, was
rendered insensible during the fight, in
which wives and daughters as we'll as
fathers and sons participated. The po-
lice tried to gain entrance into the tene-
ment but the strikers barricaded the
doors. and a semblance of order having
been restored, the officers withdrew. Am
balances were summoned to care Tor the
injured but the strikers declined TO ad-
NIT the physicians. stating that they
would call their doctors
There were several other outbreaks
which were checked by the police and all
during the day the teeming East side
swarmed into the streets and held i'm
promptu meetings. There were many al
tereations between landlords and tenants
and the reserves of four precincts were
kept in readiness to respond to hurry
calls.
Several mass meetings were held to-
night by the strikers. 1t was announced
at the headquarters Of the strikers that
the organization of the tenants OF Brook-
/ lyn and Jersey City was going on rapidly
and that by the first of February over
fifty thousand tenants in those cities
would be ready to enforce their demands
for lower rents.

At the Gayety.

An unusually strong compony, and en-
tirely different from the usual run of
burlesque shows will be seen this after
noon at the Gayety theatre The attrac-
ton Charles Robinson and his Night
Owle,' composed of artists that are the
cream of the profession, who appear in
two musical farces who Stole My Wife
and Solomon the Soldier" will prove a
revelation to the theatregoers in this
city, from the fact it bristles with nov
elites and is distinct and radical de-
parture from the old style burlesque.
Prominent in the list of fun makers are
Charles Robinson, Mcdonald and Peyser,
international Musical Trio; Mildred
Flora, Lawrence Edwards and company

of 20 beautiful "show girls introduce

Except for the second trial of Harry

and such political developments as may
result from a Number of dinners and
meetings in behalf of various presidential
movements the news interests of the week
will be chiefly in Washington, where Con-
gress will reassemble after the holiday
recess and begin in earnest the business
of the long session.
Both the senate and house will resume
their sittings at noon Monday and while
comparatively little in the way of actual

The Tillman resolution on the financial

senate and is available as a subject of
discussion. The indication is, however,
that discussion of the financial situation
In the senate will be postponed until
a bill on that subject has been reported
from the committee on finance which is
believed will soon take place. The SEN

after meeting on Monday out of respect
to the momory of the late Senator NAL
lory of Florida, whose death h. occurred
since the holiday adjournment. Mr.. NAL
lory's successor, Hon. w. J. Bryan, is
expected to be sworn in early this week.
Resolutions of inquiry relative to the
conditions in the navy which led to the
resignation of Rear Admiral Brownson
as chief of the bureau of navigation are
among the probabilities, but as Senator
Hale, chairman of the naval committee,
has stated that he would not present any
inquiry of this character, his failure to
act is regarded by many as quite clear
indication that the senate will not under
take to enter upon any investigation at
this time

Monday to consider the Presidents mes

his wife had been separated for some

constant stream of purchasers at the box
