That they sustained their losses, they very naturally concluded the government would relmburse them, To-day in the senate Mr, Hal m o re- sponded to the appeals of these disappointed settlers, and proposed an amendment to his bill on the subject of the division of Dakota and the admission to statehood of the south- ern portion of it, which contemplates the proper relief, The amendment provides that fter the passage of this act -enter upon their cla required by ha time have a these settler and complete the and their elaims sh preference over g shall in ofher respects have complied with the law regulating such entries, especially homesteaders, shall be entitled to have such lands, and patents therefor shall be issued, The woney for pre-emption and town site entries shall be such required by law in other eases shall De paid into a general fund. shall appoint a spe tion of the seeretary of the interior who shall as soon as practicable make inquiry and re- port to the secretary of the interior upon the claims for losses of persons who in Luml faith, between February 7 and April 17, tled upon any of the landsin tlw(m“ eek and Winnebago rescivation.

He shall report the improvements made by such the value of the ‘same, the sustained by reason of the tion of {he executive order opening these lands to settlement, giving the the direc- particulars of any such losses and all other facts connected therewith, and in case the consent of the Indians is not obtained then inquiry and report shall be made as to all per- sons who made claims upon that part of the reservation which is not included in the new reservation.

Four men entered the jewelry store of Severn Pros. at 7 West Madison street, One of them asked to sece some wateh charms. Henry Severn, who is a young man about 25 years of age, was alone in the store at the time, and in response to the request placed a tray full of charms of all descriptions before him. Anothier of the four asked to see rings, As Severn proceeded to reach into the ease for the tray of rings the first wman moved behind - the count between two show and, as the proprietor attempted o turn about to resent the intru- sion he was caught by the neck, A 1 in front suddenly placed a revolver in close imity to his nose and a quiet but em- ('lllr AGO, con.mand was given {o remain per- etly quict and say not a word, unless he wished to give up his tife with his jewels. The jeweler, taken completely. by surprise, was unable to make a move to defend him self. "The youngest man in the party earried a large bag on his arm and in a few moments heand his disengaged companion slipped be- hind the show ecases m\ll completely emptied them of ches, ri and other valuables. M Bevern says itdid not seem more than a minute and ahalf before the cases were cleaned out, Not- withstanding their haste, the men took noth- ing but the most valuable, th showing they were no ordinary sneal-thieves and their movements indicated that they had studied up the case in advance, When the booty was seeured, the thief who still held the propri- ctor by the throat, loosed his hold, and mov- ing around in front, produced a revolver and covered the vietim while the other three de- parted. Severn and his enforeed vis-a-vls re- mained in this position three or four min- utes, when the last robber, can- tioning the young man to re- main - where he was for at lea: five minutes, followed his companions. S ern’s confusion and astonishment caused him involuntarily toa obey the injunction. s00n as he recovered himself he ran and gave the alarm. A patrol was called, but by the time the oflicers arrived no trace of the rob- bers couid be found. "The value of the pro- perty talken is placed at $1,500. Severn is not sure he can identify any of the robbers, as his attention was principally taken up by the grip on his throat and the muzzle of the re- volver. e SNOWBOUND ON THE PLAINS, The Sufferings of Five Hundred Pas- sengers in Kausas Drifts, DeNvER, .—The snow block: the Kansas division of the Union Pa again broken, for the sccond time in two weeks, Most of the tained in the drifts betw ville, Kansas, The d about thirteen tons of mail, some of it ex- tremely ancient, thirty tons of express goods and 500 weary and travel-stained passenge ‘Those who were not in the Pullmans ma bitter complaints of their sufferings and treatment during theivimprisonment in the drift, Few supplies could be had, exeept at extortionate prices, and water was a luxury ‘hat money could not buy.

Family Fight. y E 'he details of a bloody and fatal row, which oceurred near here Monday, lias just been received in all its minutenes: ‘The participants in the fracas were the families of W. W. Westbrook and A. Gibson. The former consisted of the father and three sons of fighting age, and the latter the old man and one son. Some daysazo the Gibsons secured a mule carcass to bait for wolves, ' It was so success- ful that the Westbrooks raided the bait and carried off half of it to plant on their own premises, This glaring breach of property rights was pronounced a easus belli, and the Gibsons took down their flint locksand rusty navies and went gunning for the Westbrooks. Thiey met by chance on the highway. The Westbrooks had heard of the declara- tion of war, and had thrown out a skirmishing line to prevent a surprise. When the factions hove in sight, the West- brook light artillery was unmasked, and a bullet pierced the heel of Gibson's mule. This unguarded shot smote the bull’s- peace in the old man’s heart, and he ¢! on the enemy with a wild war whoop. onset was not unlike acyclone in a land- locked valley, and paralyzed the Weéstbrooks, both sie and sons. When hostilities ce: through lack of ammunition and ma- terial to play on, three West- ‘brooks lay bleeding and dead on the field while the fourth, covering the form of old Gibson, rammed a pistol into his ear and snapped the trigger several times. It failed to explode, and Gibson lives to attend the tuneral. 0ld Westbrook got a bullet wound over the right eye: his son Tom received a death wound in the neck: and Jim, another son, had his scalp furrowed with a shot. Gibson surrendered to the authorities. 35, lowa, Jan. 2 everal state fons have been in annnal session The State Temperance Alliance heard reports from different congressional distriets as tothe enforcement of prohibition, and elected as officars for the ensuing year, dent, J.

They surrounded his house, dragged him out, beat him fearfully and left him for dead, with his skull frac- tured. THe will probably dle, At 3 o’clock the strikers passed up toward Morewood, flourishing every manner of weapon from revolvers to case scrapers. They were headed by Stephen Stamix, main agitator of the strike. When they reached shaft A, Morewood mines, they encountered sixty-two deputy sheriffs and policemen drawn up for battle. Detective Brophy talked to the foreigners, telling them it was useless to resist, and that he would arrest the ring- leaders. Brophy arrested one striker, which opened the ball. "The combat was hand-to- hand, but the officers won, arresting thirteen men and one woman, who were sent to jall at Greenville. The balan etreated. Over a hundred shots were fired and several Hun- garians injured. How many is not known, as they were carried away by companions. Only one officer was slightly hurt, The authorities, it is stated, telegraphed to Pitts burg for more oftice "The strike is only in augurated and more bloodshed is feared. his strike is undoubtedly the most dan- gerous in the history of the coke country.
