ALBUQUERQUE, N. M.,May 7.—The Demo- crat’s Gallup special says a serious ditliculty occurred with the Navajo lndians about8 o'clock yesterday morning at Deliance sta- tion, seven miles west of here. The trouble commenced in the store ot the village where an Indian was shot in a dispute by a clerk named Allen Borland, owner of the store and wife, when they fould what had happened, tied tor Gallup, on horseback. They were intercepted by the Indians,who threatened to kill them. Borland succeeded in quieting them by giving up his weapons, and finally they permitted him to continue his journey, Meanwhile, Allen and an old man nameéd Hans barricaded the upper story of the store to defend themselves from attack. The In- dians broke into the store and carried away everything valuable. An lour after the shooting a freight train on the Atlantic & Pacific railrond passed. Allen succeeded in making the train and came to Gallup, but Hans missed it, and after being followed by the Indians some distance reached Gallup also.

Operators in Grain and Provisions Liberal Borrowers of. Money. CHICAGO BANK CLEARING LARGE The Petroleum and f'roduce Markets ixhibit Increased Activity—Stocks of Grain Gradually Decreasing ~Crop News Favorable, The Week in the Commercial World. CH1cAGO, May 7.--|Special ‘Telegram to the Bre.|—Wlile the demand for money was brisk during the early part of the weeks there was not quite so much inquiry for ac- commodations within the past day or two though fully as active as bankers desire to see. They can readily place all their loana- ble funds at satisfactory rates of interest, and that, too. without the acceptarce of paper from outside parties. Deliveries of property on May contracts were unusually heavy, and large sums of money were re- «quired to pay for them, but all arrangements had been provided for and the money promptly paid out. Of course the market was very close for a day or two, but after the money was distributed and settled back in natural channels again, bankers were ina more comfortable position and no difliculty was experienced in obtaining favors, Oper- ators in grain and provisions were pressing in their demands, and were liberal borrow- ers on wide margins and full rates of inter- est. Shinpers of grain asked for a few favors and succeeded In obtaining all the money they reqnired. Whole- sale®merchants were moderate borrowers and lumber dealers presented some paper for discount. Country shippers require some money, pecially in sections where the farmers aie about through with their spring seeding, and shipments of currency to the interior, while not very large, were somewhat larger than during the week previous. Chi- cago bank clearings for the past week were the largest in the history of the city. viz. $80,882,¢ Collections are reported rather slow, though merchants in the mercantile trade report business active and considerably in excess of this time last year. Rates of In- terest are well supported; with borrowers it isalmosta secondary consideration. Call loans commanded 6@7 per cent and time loans ranged at @S per cent, depending on the amount of money required and the standing of the borrower. There was rather more “shinning” on the street, but it is contined to varties who are not regular borrowers at banks or who desire funds for special purposes, Money in the eastern mar- ket exhibited a little more closeness and in- terest rates were a littls more favorable to lenders, In European financial centers money Is reported abundant and very cheap. Loans on the London market are quoted at 1@2 per The balances 1 the leading foreign banks show an increase. New York exchange was in good supply early in the week, with only noderate demand, and the feeling was dull. Sales were made between banks at 50@60 cents discount per $1,000. Toward the close the offerings were light and the demand was fair, causing quite a sharp reaction, ana prices were advanced again, with sales at par to 25 cents premium per $1,000, and the market closed steady at par. Foreign exchange was in falr supply and the demand was limited. Rates were comparatively steady., Shippers’ sixty days documentary bills" on ' London changed hands at §4.3434@4.8 and” closed _stoady at $4.841{@4.843{. " "T'ne New York stock mar- ket was only moderataly active during the week just closed. Early in the week spec- ulators were giving nloreattention to articles outside of stocksand watehing the deliveries ot May contracts, but toward the close the market was more active, with leadine prop- erties attracting more attention. The earn- ingsof the different ratlroads show a sul stantial increase, and the favorable outlook for growing crops makes ‘stocks a little iore attractive to speculators at present. Prices rnled comparatively steady early in the week, but toward the close the market showed con- siderable strength and some of the leading stocks sold at higher tigures. ‘I'he stocks of the principal western roads met with more favor and toward the close were purchased with considerabie freedom, Chieago opera- tors have done tair business in Wall street, but contine their operations to speclalties, Foreign operators traded to some extent and American securities abroad showed a little more steadiness within the past day or two. Sales on the New York Stock exchange dur- ing the past week a :eregated 1.500,156 shares. Petroleum has exhibited considerable astiv- ity during the past week, and the market was somewhat unsettied. ' Prices fluctuated considerable, though within a moderate range. Opening sales were made at 65 cents, sold at aw@ws cents, and closed steady at 63 cents. The aggregate sales “on the New York Petroleun exchange for the week were 9,504,000 barrels. Considerable Interest manifested in the vroduce markets during the early part of the week, not 8o much regarding the volume of business and change In prices as to the out- come of the deliveries of property on May contracts. It was well known that large quantities of all kinds of grain and provi- sions would be delivered, and the effect of the proceeding and the tinal centering of the property was watched with col eagerness and anxiety. It.is generally lieved that not less than 8,000,000 bushels of wheat, 5,000,000 bushels of corn 30,000 barrels of mess pork, 40,000 tierces ot lard and 15,000,000 pounds of short rib sides were ten- dered on maturing contracts and the prop- erty was readily accepted and promptly paid for, the greater portion centering in the hands of four or five large houses, and only a small proportion seeking the market again. No very marked effect was petceptible in the course of the market, provisions showing a slight weakening temporarily. Toward the close the markets exhibited some’steadines, though prices were improved only in exceptional cases, Speculative trading has been quite active in all branches, with good business in_transferring contracts ahead at current differences. ‘The shipping demand has been fairly active, particularly for grain, and the outward moWuent was liberal, though largely by the water route, Arrivals were fair, but not as larze as during the week srevious, which may be attributed to the imited storage facilities at present ang the fact that farmers are busy with their spring work, Stocks of grain are gradually de- l'rflnslllfi, while the supply of provisions is gradually enlarging, due to the quite liberal maoufacture. Advices from deveading mar- kets, both foreign and domestic, were a litile more favorable fo sollers. ‘The export move- ment of grain _was fair but comparatively light of provisions. Crop reports were gen- erull{ of a favorable tenor in this country, but the news from abroad indieated consider- able backwarduess in rajn with the outlook favorable for decrease oroduction, e THE ICEBUL'I"(_?F A tscoop.” The Gate Uity Guardyjof Atlanta, In- aungurates 4 Sénsation. ATLANTA, Gia., May 7.—[Special Telegram to the Beg.|—The Gate Clty guard, which Is soon Lo make a tour:6f. Europe, opened the campaign yesterday 'in a'/decidedly sensa- tional manner. The cagpahy Is composed of the best young men of 8he city. With a European trip in view thé company placed upon its honorary roll thé.names of many well cknown gentlewen of Atlanta for the purnose of enlisting thir support. One who took the most pride in his honorary member- ship was Charles .- !AtWood, proprietor of the Evening Capital. . But recently he was made furious by the discovery that Burke had given the first official announcement of the proposed trip to the public through the Con- stitution, whereas he claimed that Burke had promised to let him have the news tirst. Then he attackea Burke and the company in the paper and was requested to surrender the certificate of honorary membership, in reply 1o the request he again attacked the com- pany and declared that he knew many “““lfi to the detriment of the company and that Burke would make thousands ont of the trip. Thursday mebit the company drafted reply to Atwood in which his statements wera branded as *‘miserable and wmalicious falseboods” of a “‘man of low character." Yesterday Burke published & card in which Le denounced Atwood as “a poltroon and liar, a festering sore on the body politic, u clufiu:a (o‘)ournnlltm and a creature whom truth would shame and falsehood embell Shortly after noon yesterday Atwood started out armed with a rawhide, with blood in his eve, intent upon taking nvenge. On Peach ‘I'ree street Atwood caught steht of his vietim crossing the street, and started after him Overtaking Burke, Atwood attempted to horsewhip him, but Burke grappled with bin betore he could draw the whip.

Cnicaco, May 7.—At a meeting of Trans- continental railway officials to-day nothing was accomplished in the way of perfecting an organization or agreeing upon rates. ‘l'o- night many of the officials left for home dis- gusted. Apparently no system of differen- tials could be devised that would satisfy the many conflicting interests. It is probable that another meeting will be held in New York nest week, although some of the lines insist that they will not be represented. Much of the time to-day was occupied by Commissioner Blanchard in an address ex- plaining the position of the lines east of Chi- cago on the question of prorates. A confer- enco commitiee to take up the subject with the eastern roads at some future {lme was appointed, —— A Well Known Attorney Dead. St Louts, May 7.—William Patrick, United States district attorney during Presi- dent Grant’s administration, and a prom- inént member of the St. Louis bar, died here to-day of softenink of the brain, a complaint with which he has been atllicted for several years. e The Marshal on His Muscle, Yesterday Marshal Cummings went out to the domain of one Hitcheock, located & mile and a half west of Fort Omaha, to order him to bury three dead horses, which had become a sickening nuisance to the neighborhood. He found three carcasses and two animals sufiering ter- ribly, and which he should be shot. The cause of the equine mortality did not ap- pear, At any rate the marshal ordered fitchcock to comply with the law at once. On returning home the marshal stopped at the Saratoga house post, near the gate of the fort. Here he tound a nice state of afl The room was full ot soldiers and civilians, public gam- bling was at its height. hree roulette tables were 1n full y. It is nuneces- sary to sav that as soon us the oflicer of the law appeared, there was a scattering. He closed up the games and closed out the gamesters on short notice. 1t is said the saloons around the fort are very dis- orderly and need police surveilance. —— Scattering the Squatters. Twelve suits were commenced in the county court yesterday in all of which are the same plaintiff, the twelve differ- ent defenaants being squatters on the bottom lands. The former are Dewitt C. Sutphen, Charles D. Sutphen, Ada P. Drake, Matt R. Drake, Josiah Q. Drake Emma A Gibbs and Byron Reed. The land in question lies between the O. & M. railroad track and the Missouri river, being vart of lot 3in section 23, near the Union Pacific bridge. Efforts have been made for sometime to get these squatters of the land to move off but to mno effect, hence recourse has been had to the courts. It is said they will fight the attempts to evict, as many of them belicve they have a right to pre-empt any land lying within sixty- five feet of the river. An Unfortunate Woman, Every few days nervous people on the streets are frightened half to death by a woman falling in an epileptic fit. Her name is Lipke and she has veen sup- ported by the county for four s. She has four children but will not allow the authorities to take them, although from her associates and chronic iliness she is entirely unfit to care for them. Tho commissioners have endeavored to have her go to the I|mor house but she refuses. It is probable the police authorities will investigate her case as she isnot a prope person on account of the frequent attacks of epileptic fits and other reasons to be allowed to roam around at will and mix up with all kinds of associntes. Besides hildrea should be cared for in some stian way.

District Court Notes, The judges of the district court handed down several decisions yesterd the term of the court adjourned sine die. One case was commenced, that of Mor- tensen vs the Union Pacific railroad, praying for an injunction. The plaintiff isan employe of the road, and owed a debt of $25.55 to Anderson & Harding, of this city. In order to garnishee this amount the claim was assigned to one Jarman, of Council Bluffs, and sued be- fore W. L. Briggs, of Pottawattamie county. Mortensen desires a restraining order'to show that judgment and gar- nishment cntered against him were legal. _— Notifled to Suspend Operations, The chairman of the board of publie works has notihed the Motor company which 1s preparing to lay track on Leav- enworth street, to keep away from that portion of the street upon which the raders are at work.

The bull fight in the City of Mexico, which was attended by President Diaz and several of lus eabinet, and at which four horses were killed, two matadores erely injured and several picadores disabled, is nothing more than a remnant of the savagery and cruelty which is characteristic of barbarism. The illus- tration drawn from Rome and the arenic combats there prove nothing to the con- trary, True it is that at the time of the gladiatorial combats and wild beast shows in Rome, the tormer mistress of the world was at the height of splendor, of luxury, of elegance and of .material wealth, but at the same time Rome was but one vast brothel, where lust and crime held high revel and where the ancient Roman valor was smothered in Tyrian purple and drownep 1n alernian wine, The spirit of conquest and the admiration for personal bravery had degenerated into u savage thirst for biood of hired bravoes, and the descendants of those who had bound up the wounds of Horatius or gazed with knit brows upon the eruel gash in Luceeis' bosom, now found their highest dehght in seeing two Gauls or Germans contend 1n a death struggle, or in gazing upon the agonies of a christian maiden torn by wild beasts Let the admirers of bulll-fights plead for their favorite sports, if they will, upon the proper ground, that of the fibre of conrseness and cruelty which runs through humun nature, especially in the Latin races; but let them not defemd it by citing classic models, or instancing the moral leprosy ot Rome as a suflicient exense for brutalizing and degrading the snirit of the present age, There can be found no single apology or excuse for this kind of sport, so callid, unless it be found in the Jowest element of human nature, alove of cruelty, There i« no high or lofty courage displayed, i most cases where the bull attacks horse and man the nobler animal, t! horse, has to suffer. At iy nothing but sheer, malignant eru elty to nll the animals concern. and its only purpose is to pander to the debased and depraved tastes of thoso whose zest for ordinary pleasures aul amusements is worn oul, and who r quire bloodshed to stir their feeble pu sions or to kindle their interest. Itis upon bwr or more clevated plane than Iing or badger-baiting, where the hunted animal is not ntended to have, and docs not have a chance fer ite life, but where the mangled bodies and oozing gore of the poor victins satiates the un natural appetite for borrors, which i the leading passion of the degraded spectators. 2 5 So long as bull-fights continue to form a leading feature of the Mexican peopli s cnts, their genunine civili m iously questioned. Civiliz in the highest sense, must include mentand delicacy of feeling,and thet can r exist whera such a barbous reer bull-fighting is poy wild enthusiasm i‘s X of a wounded horse being dragzge of the arena, or of a tortured bull st gering around the ring, harassed Ly tho durts of the picadores, bleeding from every pore, and finally done to death by the sword of the matador—- butchered to make a Mexican Loliday. lar, or where 2 by the sight —- At a recent trial of bloodhounds at the convict camp at Friars’ Point, Miss, . negro under ten iy.-nr.u' Sentence Was I leased and told that he could have his liberty if ke escaped the dogs.
