lSneciaI 10 The -Herald.N

Silver City, July 1.-Two Croatians en-
ployed as miners at the iron mine. Stevan
Joshan and John Adranovich, quarreled
this morning in a shack in what is known
as GaIIagherviIle here, and as a result
OF the quarrel Joshan is now lying dead
In Wallace's undertaking rooms in Eu-
reka He was stabbed through the heart
1t seems that the two men were engaged
in a game of cards. and had been drink
ing quite heavily. They were cursing ana
abusing each other when JOshan, who
seems to have been the drunken of the
pair, grabbed AdranOyich by the back OF
the head and pulling him over the table,
plunged a four and a half inch blade of
his iackknife into his back. The blade
entered into the lung at the lower end or
the right shoulder blade, close to the
spinal column. AdranOvich Immediately
drew his knife and drove it with fierce
force into Joshan's heart, TO whom death
came almost instantly. Judge Max Thorn
berg was Immediately notified, and he
lost no time in summOning coroner
iury. The jurors are Mcdonnell, Andrew
Maxson and Luke Hickman. After they
viewed the remains, JOshan's BODY was
sent to Eureka, and Adranovich was put
under guard at Gallagherville.
Adranovich has been living with wo-
man here, and two girls have been born
to the couple. When he realized that MS
chances were slim he asked that mar
rage license be obtained. so that he could
marry the woman and give a name to the
children. Judge ThOrnberg has dispatched
a man on horseback to Nephi for the
necessary papers DIT. Spalding, who is
attending at the bedside of the wounded
man, thinks he will pull through. Judge
Thornberg has put seven or eight Croa-
tians under bonds to appear as witnesses
at the inquest, which will be held to-
morrow.

that IL is here now and that in a few
brief months we will enter into and take
possession Of our new home, which in

OUTLAW
BAND WIPED OUT
Americans Have One Killed and
Twenty Wounded in Bat
tie With MoroS.

Manila, July 6.-In a desperate fight
near Patian, on Jolo island, yesterday,
Jikiri, the famous Moro outlaw chief,
was killed, and his entire band exter-
minated by detachments Of regulars and
cOnstabulary under Captain George L.
Byram Of the Sixth United States cav
airy operating in conjunction with a
naval fiOtilla Of the Mosquito fleet under
Lieutenant Commander SignoT. The
American loss was one private killed
and three officers and twenty enlisted
men and one sailor wounded.
Private O'ConneH of Troop A, Sixth
cavalry, was the one man killed among
the Americans, and the officers wounded
are Lieutenants Kennedy, Miller and
Arthur H. Wilson of the Sixth.
Took Refuge in Cave.
Captain Byram's cavalry. with a few
scouts and COnsta bulaTy and a detaCh-
ment Of sailors under Lieutenant Com
mander SignOr, located and attacked the
outlaws in the mountains not far from
the coast. The MOrOs fed and took ref
uge in a large cave. The column Of
troops and sailors surrounded the place,
but JiNiri refused to surrender. A con-
eerted attack was made, the Moros
fighting desperately in the mouth of
the cave until the last member of the
band was dead.
As yet few details of the fight have
been received here The division head
quarters of the army here accounts for
the large number Of wounded among the
troops on the theory that the cave was
mined and that some of the Americans
were wounded by the explosion.
In his brief report, Captain Byram
warmly commended Lieutenant Miller
for bravery and gallantry in action.
Captain Byram gave no details as to
the condition Of the wounded
