ONE WHITE, THREE INDIANS,
WI KILLED TN BATTLE
Cranston, Utah, Feb. "a Three
Indians have now been killed in the
fighting at Bluff. A telephone mes
sage received said that Mexican
rode into the camp of Marshall Heb
eker and reported that the son Of
Cosey, one of the Indian fighters, had
been shot. One Indian girl is among
the slain.
Communication with Bluff is in
terrupted and there is no way Of
learning what is going on. The last
news was that citizens were having
a pitched battle with the Indians.
Heavily armed and supplied with
ammunition, all the men of GFayson
and Monticello, Utah, today are dash
ing across the plains in the face of a
terrific gale to prevent the massacre
of a federal posse of so men and in
habftants of the little village of Bluff.
The posse and the town of Bluff are
surrounded by a force of war-crazed
Piute Indians, estimated at $50
strong. The Indians are under the
leadership of the outlaw Use Nae Cat,
wanted for murder of Juan Chacon,
a Mexican.
The federal posse was engaging the
Use Nae Cat band last night when
they were suddenly attacked from
the rear by a second band, number
ing between so and 100 Indians, I'M
der tie leadership of "Chief JIM Co
sey. In the fighting that ensued Joe
Akin of Dolores, a deputy, was killed
and Joe Cordova, another member of
the POSSE, seriously wounded. Six
mdiahs were captured in a rush
on the position held by the posse.
The Indians are fighting from the
rocks which form well-nigh unas-
saflabie natural Notifications. Just

here and Bluff were cut early today

Everybody knows that the Chinese
and Japanese are the great lantern
makers. In fact a lantern seems to
be an essential adjunct to a China
man, and there is story told of a
night attack on a Chinese fort by the
English, when every Chinaman took to
his heels and mounted the hill behind
with all speed. But every man carried
his lighted lantern slung over his
shoulder and so formed the best Of
target for the enemy.
Many nations of the East, besides
those more closely connected with
Scriptural history, and notably the
Chinese and Japanese, carry lantern
at the end of a stick,-Philadelphia

NEWPORT NEWS.
Has Disappeared.

Last Sunday George Frichette, head
clerk in the American Clothing Com
pany's store, hired a rowboat of c. R.
Moore, ard unaccompanied, took trip
down the lake. In the vicinity of six
o'clock that night the boat was found
adrift between Hines rock and the old
landing place of the Mountain Maid, and
no trace of the occupant has been dis
covered since. The particulars are
these: A little before six o'clock Fred
Brouillette, on the mainland between
the points mentioned, glanced out onto
the lake and saw man standing up in
boat. The distance was so great he
could not tell who it was or how far he
was from shore. A little later Jack
Lewis, passing in the vicinity in pow
er boat, saw d rowboat adrift, but sup
posing the occupant was lying down s
the boat and drifting, as they frequent
ly do, paid no attention to it. The next
to pass was Carroll Huntington, who
thought the same thing, but who finally
concluded to turn back and see if any
one was in the boat. He found
the boat empty. Both oars were prop
erly hung and drifting as if ready for
use. A cushion was on the center seat,
and underneath hat, with a little
church donation envelope bearing the
name of George Frichette' tucked on
the inside band. Nomarks were on the
boat to indicate an accident, or water
inside of it, Mr. Huntington took the
b at in tow.
From the fact that a man was seen
standing upright in boat in this vicin-
ity and few minutes later the boat
was found drifting, the natural suppo-
stion is the man in some way fell over.
b)rrd and was drowned. Nothing points
to a suicide, as his home life was pleas
ant, and he was a well-liked and trusted
clerk in the American Clothing Com
pany's store.
The lake has been thoroughly dragged
| in the vicinity of where the boat was
found, but without any result. The wa
ter is deep, the bottom is heavy with
weeds, and no one can tell just how fan
the boat drifted. OF course various ru
mors are afloat but without the least
cause for disappearing or committing
suicide, the natural conclusion is that
he met with some kind of an accident
and was drowned. His wife and one
child, of whom he was extremely fond
reside on Scott avenue.

gag turns or loops in the road-a really
marvellous example of roadbuilding
and engineering-brings the traveller
up over four thousand feet in eight
miles and a half, at a very easy and
comfortable grade. At the top, or the

cross the crest of the mountain this
point is called the "pass''-it reaches
the remarkable altitude of 9,O55 feet
above the sea, making it the highest
carriage road on the continent, or, as
German tourist has aptly put it,
the highest street in Europe!"
OF all the post roads of the Alps
the Stelvio has always been the most
popular among tourists during the
summer months. Almost any noon

first of September one would find clus-

comfortable little one and two horse
victorias so much in evidence on ev-
cry Alpine road. Clustered in the
none too spacious dining hall of this
hotel one would find an equally odd
assortment of tourists from every part
of the globe, chattering in every known
language, making veritable babel
of tongues, with here and there an
