HO’ ‘ABEN W. ‘The Curious Battle Between Two Old Colored FACTS BROUGHT OUT AT THE (WHAT THE WITNESSES SAID. Saturday afternoon the dead body of Eman- uel Taben, the colored man who died at Provi- dence Hospital from the effects of injuries re- ceived during a row with Thomas Heath, an old shoemaker, at No. 110 C street southwest Sun- day, the 16th, was removed to the morgue, where Deputy Coroner Schaeffer made a post- mortem examination. Asheretofore published in Tae Star, both men were ‘tpward of sixty years old and oceu- pied adjoining rooms in the same house. Yesterday morning at 11 o'clock Coroner | Patterson held an inquest at the sixth precinct station. SHE LIVED IX THE KEXT ROOM. Sarah Christian. a colored woman who occu- pies a room in the house adjoining the one where the crime was committed, was the first Witness sworn. She described ‘the premises. The houses are Nos. 108 and 110 C street south- west. The second floors of both houses are reached by the same stairway. The prisoner and deceased occupied a room each on the first floor of honse No. 110. One week ago about 4 o'clock in the afternoon she said the trouble began. ‘The trouble, she said, was caused by Heath's objecting to the deceased's using the back gate. Taben, the witness said, was on his way out of the yard, when Heath came out and said ‘on has a way of going out that back gate and I'm going to put a stop to it. Tomorrow I am going to puta lock on it and keep you from going out that way.” ‘Taben responded: “If you put a lock on it Tl break it off. I've fixed that gate so that it can be opened and shut for convenience.” Heath replied that he would commit a peni- tentinry offense if he did so and added: "You have been threatening to knock me down and beat me if I bothered you. “This day you will have it to do, for intend to kill you —- — by the help of my Maker.” Taben replied: “If you are a better man than Tam youcan doit.” He added, “If you say I threatened to beat you if you bothered me, you is an old gray-headed liar.” Heath ran back and tried to get a Role, but he could not get it, and then he felt about his pockets, but did not take anything out. Taben was then returning to the house. He had a pipe in his mouth and both hands in his pockets. He said to Heuth: “Go away, old man, I don’t want any bother with you today.” HEATH PICKED UP AN AX. Heath then picked up an ax and held it with both hands. Taben said: “Look here, old man, is you going to hit me with my own a “Yes,” answered Heath, “you old Tin- tend to kill you.” Heath then struck at Taben with the ax, and in attempting to ward off the blow the latter caught the ax on his arm. The prisoner made a second attempt to use the ax when he went down and Taben went on top of him, saying: “I've got a good mind to kill you. ‘When the men arose both had hold of the ax, and after a scuttle witness and others sepa: them. The men again clinched inside the house, Heath biting Taben and the latter chok- ing him. Finally the men were pushed into their rooms and witness locked Taben's door from the outside. WE GOT A MUSKET. In a few seconds Heath appeared with a musket, which he leveled through Taben’ window. Taben said: “I'm done with it: my ion is over and I'm sorry that the trouble Eeppened on Sunday among church people. leath, however, was still in for a tand he remarked: “I'll kill you this night. If I don’t d— me!” Heath then returned to the room, and about 6 o'clock she heard Taben er: “He's got me. Come take the knife out of me. He's stuck me to my heart.” When questioned by a juror witness said that see hea never seen cither of the men take a ink. Anthony Christian, colored, told what he knew of trouble and said that Heath was a very disagreeable old man. , ANOTHER ACCOUNT OF TT. John Mansfield, who also lives in one of the two houses, described the trouble as he saw it. He said that the trouble was about the use of an outhouse, und it was the door to that house, and not the gate, that caused all the trouble. After telling of the conversation be- tween the men concerning the lock on the door he said Taben started toward the house and ‘Heath started back in the same direction. When Heath reached the wood block he picked w the ax. Witness saw Taben receive the first blow of the ax on his arm. and when Heath attempted to use the ax again the weight of it threw him down. Taben then jumped on Heath and the latter said, “Kill me now, or I'll kill sear Taben said: “I could i but I won't.” Heath started to get up, when Taben struck him on the head with an axand knocked him over. Riley Griffen pulled Taben off Heath and they both got up. The men clinched and Taben it Heath. Taben. was shoved in the door and Heath went to his room and got his musket. He made use of an oath and said: “I'll kill him this night.” Heath then came through the side alley ‘to the back window with the musket, but he did not see a chance to shoot Taben and so he returned to his room. Wit- ness afterward saw Heath at the front door with a knife in bis hand. He again returned to his room and witness thought that the trouble was over. Ina few minutes Taben came out of his room to go for some coal oil. He came out of his room into the hall and was stooping down to pick up his oil can when Heath ran out of the room and stabbed him. “e's GoT ME Now.” Taben exclaimed, “Help me, 'm gone. He's gotme now. Come pull the knife out of my side.” Witness grabbed him and put him in his room and went for an officer. Witness was asked how long it was from the end of the first fight to the time that Heath appeared with the musket and ramming in the load, but thought it was only one of his capers. ta Johnson, colored, testified that she stabbing. ‘THE MEDICAL TESTIMONY. Dr. Schaeffer testified to making the autopsy. He found an open incised wound in the right chest an inch and a half long. The fourth rib was cut clean in two and the surface of the lung was also cut. Death, he believed, resulted from bemorr! aud inflammation of the lung. Witness found a cut on the left arm and slight sears on each shin. SELECTING A NAME. ‘There was a discussion as to the name of the deceased, each witness calling him by a differ- ent name, but they all sounded alike. He was called Taben, Taj ‘Tapers and Tables and the coroner finally selected Tapen as his name. esuer taopensttta tos Gia sonths ee; tora shag Micon earn oes ened eae es commitment he will be held in jail until the grand jury takes some action. sheen nel Virginia State Notes.

Handford of the United States army, who was in the frontier service for seven years and studied the character of the Indians, has entirely original views on the canses ‘which produce the present dis- turbance. In speaking of the matter yester- day Lieut, Handford said: “Some one sng- gests that if the Indians want to dance, why not let them dance? If incidentally they ex- pect n Mesriah to come witha sort of hell- and-damnation for the whites and all the blessings of the Indian heaven for the In- dians, it is only a natural interpretation of Christian teachings. The Indians are natur- ally religious, many of them, even amon the followers of Sitting Bull, being communi- cants in the Catholic church. “It may seem strange, but it is nevertheless true, that one of the priests attached to the Standing Rock agency did have control of a religious band, where Sitting Bull holds forth and where he has for years been the only In- dian who has dared to call in question the ab- solute authority of the agent, McLaughlin. One of the priests. known as Father Crafts, organ- ized a band of at least thirty Indiana, constitut- ing a sort of mounted Y.M.C.A., many of whom rode eighteen or twenty miles every Sunday morning to go to church. There they were taught that the Messiah would come with great power to help those whose hearts were all right, and to resurrect their best ancestors, besides playing “Hail Columbia” with the bad people, including. of course, all their enemies, which they now interpret fo mean white peop! “Christians are still teaching the coming of the sume identical character, but, apparently, | ¢ he never comes, and it's dollars to doughnuts | they would not recognize him if he did come. | ‘These same Christians would fecl indignant at any interference with their religious ceremo- nies. ‘The key to. the whole matter is that the Indians should be given a chance to work for a living instead of “being fed, after a fashion, clothed occasionally and kept in idleness all, the time.” PLOTTING AGAINST THE. SOLDIERS. William D. McGaa, formerly an Indian scout and now a wealthy ranchman, has brought to Pine Ridge agency information of an Indian Piet, against, Gen, Brooke and the soldiers Vhile lying down in a tepee full of Indians and apparently asleep a few nights ago he heard the details of the plot arranged. Their plan, as MeGaa heard from their own lips, is to con tinue the ghost dance until the troops try to stop it. The place selected to carry out their murderous designs isa place sixteen miles and ahaif north of Pine Ridge, and a more advan- tageous locality for such x deed probably does not exist anywhere else on the entire face of the continent. ‘It ix where the White Horse creek empties into the Wounded Knee and lays in some- thing of an amphitheater shape. “The only practical way of leading to the spot is by a road that follows along the bunk of White Horse creck. Upon cither side of this road and creck are dense clumps of trees, so many as to almost form a wall on either side of the approach. The plot is to have a ghost dance in the center of this amphitheater and have the woods on cither side of the road full of Indians when the military comes up to stop the dance, and they would be easily shot down by the Indians in ambush on either side. By lining the road with their Winchesters for the distance of a mile and letting troops get well into the amphi- theater they were calculating they could wi out every soldier that came, and their calc tion is a perfect one. MORE TROOPS FOR THE FRONT.
