There were several policies of insurance on the liyes of the victims, each of them being for a small amount, but amounting in the aggregate to $369, one of which she collected. Mrs. Whiteling was married in Clinton, Ia., in 1868, to Tom Brown. The couple came to this city from Chicago after the great fire, and a few years after Brown was sent to prison for highway robbery and died there, and she married John White- ling in March, 1880, her child Bertha being then about 9 months old.

Indians In Arms. Gainesville, Tex., June 12.—Some time ago the cattlemen of the Chicka- saw nation of the Indian resisted the collection of the cattle tax of $1 per head for cattle grazing on Indian lands and drove the col- lector and his deputies away with violence. The governor was notified and through him the United States government. A peaceable settle- ment was attempted, but without a result favorable to the Indians. The cowboys began to assemble and now about 500 of them are rendezvoused in the southern part of the nation. Governor Guy ordered out the na- tional militia—about 1000 Indians— and they are assembled now at Ardmore, preparing to move upon the cowboys. Captain McLish was put in command of them and he has orders to move at once. To-day the camp was in a stir getting ready for the campaign, and it is expected the troops will be on the march to-mor- row. They will move cautiously as it is feared they are not strong enough to combat the cattlemen, who are armed with Winchesters. Many of these men are citizens of the nation, and it is feared that this is the first outbreak of a civil war.

The admission is made in the columns of the New York Tribune of yesterday that Mr. W. J.

Had to Have Rations. Wichita Falls, Tex.. June 13.—A Commanche Indian named Tabby Tocavitt shot another Indian named Simino in the head, nearly killing him. The shooting took placeinthe Indian Territory, near Ft. Sill. Last week deputy United States marshal Mynatt went to the Nation with a warrant for Tabby Tocavitt’s arrest and found that the Indian had taken refuge in the Wichita mountains and declared that he would not be ar- rested. The marshal and the Indian chief-of-police hunted for a day in the mountains for the fugitive, but could not catch up with him. They got his horse and squaw, then they went to the Commanche chiefs and told them that they must bring Tak- by Tocavitt in by next day or they would cut off their rations and bring all the Kiowas and the United States soldiers from Ft. Sill and round up the whole Commanche tribe. The chiefs then held a council, and final- ly Quanah and Abernanaka, the head chiefs, said that they would see Tabby Tocavitt in Ft. Sill. Accord- ingly the fugitive came in and sur- rendered to the deputy marshal, who brought him here to-day and put him in jail. He willhave his ex- amining trial here before United States Commissioner Hoge. The wounded Indian will probably recov- er. Syrap of Figs, Manufactured only Fig Syrup Co., San Francisco.
