COLORED TROOPS FOUGHT,BUT NOT NOBLY stfal Shot Exeltes the Toughs and Thoy Put the Soldiers to a Disgrace- ful Rout—Two Killed, 1y Wounded, A prominent and tnoroughly reliable citi- ton of Omaha gave to a Bee reporter yester- day morning a vivia description of the fight at the town of Suggs, Wyo., on last Friday night between about forty troopors belong- g to the Ninth cavalry aud a gang of cow- boys, railrond men and gamblers, The gen- tleman referred to was in Suggs at the tmo of the battle and realized that he was in any- His thing but a safe and peaceful locality. story runs like this: log houses and about a bundred tents Tt is At presont the rendezvous for the toughs and rough characters of the whole northern end of the tate of Wyoming, When it was known that the United States troops were Folng to establish a summer camp near Suges tovoral of these border roustabouts wers noard to romark that the black devils had veen running Crawford to suit thenselves but they {meaning the colored troops] would 1o0n find out that thoy could not run Suggs. “Tho troops ot the Ninth cavalry arrived Ist weok and ostablished a camp about three miles outside of the straggling frontler rillage. On Friday night of last ‘weok wbout forty of tho troopers left camp and went down to the town lo huve a time. Tho feoling of nostility towara the soldiers needed only tho slightest amount of friction to creste open warfare, and the spark was soon fur- nished. I was in camp on the oppositeside of Powder river about one hundred yavds from tho center of tho village where the Bght occurred.” While 1 dia not see the actual beginning of tho disturbance I was told every dotall the next morning by those who were engaged in the fight. A Trooper Plned for Western Glory. *As I learned it the fracas was begun by one of the troopers firing his gun in tho air, simply to indicate tbat he was a bad man and 1t would not be safe to cross his track. They opened fire on the soldiers from all sides and in the twinkliog of an eye tue main streat of the place was turned into a battle flela. *f think I heard the very first shot. I was sitting in the door of my tent just about to rotire. It was tho first battle I ever heard, and I wish to remark that in the next one 1 would like to be u little farther away from 1he scene of the conflict. The shots followed cach other very rapidly. 1 tnink 500 shots must bave been fired in less than fitieen minutes. I could heara few voices, and it was soon evident that one party was on the ruo. “The ferry was shutdown for the night nod I could not get across the river until orning 1o see what the fatalities had amounted to. When I went over about7 o'clock Satvrday morning I found the town sur- rounded by troops aud everyoody talking about the battle of the previous uight. They showed me the place where onoe of the troop- ers had been shot dead and where he lay for s0mo time, leuviug & pool of blood. The re- sults of the engagement, so far as I could learn, were two soldiers killed, about a dozen wounded and several of the citizens, cow- boys and toughs suffering from slight wounds and scratches, The Troops Utterly Routed, “It seems that the troopers becamo panic- stricken after tho first volley and conclud- ing that they were outnumbered they made a break for the open country. The cowboys and gumblers followed them with_a_deadly five and drove them helter-skelter out of the town. The colored men made a dish down between a long wooden shed and a large tent and fell over a guy rope. Here they lost about fifteen or twenty guns. They scram- bled to their feet and ran on. “*Shortly after the battle the ambulauce arrived from the camp of the troopers. The citizers were ready to continuo the fight if necessary, and made the conductor of the ambulance 1bhrow up his hands. Ho in- formed the belligerents that he had comoe on 8 messago of peace simply to take care of the dead and wounded. They allowed the ambu- lance to proceed with the work of caring for the shuin, Not a Part of the Cattle War, “This disturbonce,it should be understood, has \'l:rf' little to do wita the rustler difil- culty. “The cowboys and residents of Sugg's are geeply. projudiced against the colored £ol- diers, and stories had been circulated all through that country aboutthe rufliunly, bush- whackipg claractcr of the Ninth cuvalry This created an intense hatred among nearly 811 classes up there against the soldiers and put things in readinoss for the fight. As1 said before, it 1s a tough town, It is u typi- cal repdezvous for frontier toughs and tard characters of both sexes. “Ttio next mornirg after the battle the commanding officer assured the poople that there would be no more trouble, and 1o guard against a second outbreak ho placod a_strong guard of troops about the it When 1 left_everything, on the sur- face at least, was perfectly serene. Somo of tho doors and windows of the few buildings in town were completely ridaled, T saw one window with six bullet’ holes 10 It. of the citizens had holes shot through their hats, chips cut off their ears and in divers ways oxbibited evidences of having been among tho leaden hail." ONLY A DRU EN ROW, What a Citlzen of Suggs Says About the Battle, Suaas, Wyo., (via Gillette, Wyo)., June M, —[Special Telegram to Tur Bek.|—As near as can be learned this is an iwpartial aceount of the battle at this placd on Friday ight, June17: Oon Wednesday night some of the soldiers wore in town, and when in a suloon some s00, whose name could not be learned, made oneof the soldiers hold up his hauds by placiog 8 gun near his hoad., After the gun-play the soldiors callod up to tho bar all 1 the ' houss sad treated thew, but the incident scomed to Irsitate somo of tho soldiers, On Friday night some of them stolo through tho guwids, and In fact induced one of the guards to go with them, ana arrived at town at abhout 10:80 o'ciock. Thore were somewhero be- tween fifty und seventy-five of the soldiers. All but three or four of tnom walked up the middle of the street, while the others walked up the sidowalk péoriug futo tho saloons, as If looklng for some one, and in two oc throo lnstaucos said, “he is notin there.” The men In the saloons think now they wero looking for tho man who held up the solaier a uignt or two before, Flually Opened Fire, On arriving near the west end of town halted and, kneeling in the middle ot the'street, fired in the uir ubout eight or teu shots. Then it 1s thought someone fived at them; at least, the firing became general at ouce. ‘The soldiers lay flat cn the ground after the second volley und shot in about every dircction, as they were being tred upon from several points. It soon became 100 hiot for them in their exposed position, so thoy urose and fled south through an unfin- ished baru, some belween buildlugs and over teut ropes. losing in thelr fight six re- volvers aud two carbines.

Bennett, was wounded with a slight bullet wound in the right arm. It seems almost a miraclethat thero were not some ona killed, for three-fourths of tho people live in tents. Prompt Action of the O Tho commander of the troops, on hearing the shooting, thought the cattiemen and rustlers wore haviog a fight, and us soon as possible called out the troops, and then he discovered some of his men were gone, and came to town to help the citizens as soon as possible. On arriviog and findin the trou- ble had been with some of his scldiers, he was vory much surprised. Wnen our people found out that the troopers had not revurned when the command left camp much fear was felt that they might return and tho attack be renewed. The captain said he woula see that they did not get into town any more. He stationed troops around town until’ daylight, und then every- one was notified that all was safe. The tain took great pains to inform the women and children that they would be perfoctly safo to come out of the caves und cellars, where thoy had gone as s00n as the fight ceased, thinking it might be renewed at any time. ‘I'he trouble had no cornection with the cattle troublo in the stato whatever.

Yestorday the criminal division of the dis- trict court took up the caseo!f the state against Frank Krambert, who was arrested onan information sworn out by Meat In- spector Beasen. The information charges that on April 4 Krambert had in his shop a quantity of pork which was in o diseased condition ana which he sold to his cus- tomers, J. Levy was arrosted on a similar charge and pleadeda guitty. He was fined $20 and costs, Levy's mode of procedurs was 1o 0 to the stock yards at South Omahu where ho bought cattle known as “downers,” those that had been injured in shipment and wers barely alive. After buying such cattle for a mere song he would kill them and retail the meat t his customers, Bench warrants wore fissued for A. F. Austin, Emil Kiobson, J, . Wigmau and Herman Heya, jurors who failed to respond when their names wore called in court. The men were arrested and taken before the court, Wigman, who isthe professor ot manual training in the High school, and Heyn were excused, but Austin and Kiobson were fined the costs of serving the war- rants, besides bewng compelied o serve as jurors, Enjoined the Sherlir. Sheriff Bennett, by an {njunction which will bo argued before Judge lrvine on June 25, was restrained from selling tax lot 11, Back of all of this there is a law suit in vhich Isaac Hascall as secretary of the Thermal Park compuny is the plaintiff, with S.

Kubns, Maumauen & Fritchett, the Nebraska Na- tional bank, Gustave Andreen and Murphy & Co., as defondan Che plaintiff alleges that on August 16, 1890, Chris Specht foreclosed a rocchanic's lion upon this lot, which contains 10 65-100 acros, and that Rogers and Livesy answered. On September 19, 1801, Hascall claims to have purchased the interest of the Thermal Park company and becauso tie owner of the property, whick was subject only to_the lion of Spocht, amounting (o $1,450. But later there were conditional hens, §0,000 in favor of tho Lombard Investment company and 20,000 in favor of 8. E. Rogers. About that time all of the defendauts secured judgments against Hascall. What Hascall now wants is to_have all of the liens marshaled in respect to the order in which they were filed und then let each creditor take his chances. Gave Him a Nickel. In Judge Doanc's court a jury re- turned o verdict in tke case of Fred L. Blumer, who hruumq suit against the sheriff to recover §2,940.26 "or the wrongful taking and detention of astock of goods. ~ In making up tus verdict the jury found that the piain- Ul bad sustained damages to the amount of 5 cents. Some time ago Fred Luchsinger oper- ated n dry goods storo at Twentictn and Picree streots. Being pressed for money, he 50id to Blumer, and about the sumo time one of tho creditors, the Kilpatrick-Koch Dry Goods compuny attached, aileging that the salo was a froudulent one. The sheriff sold the goods and Blumer brought suit for dam- ages. The namo of William Butts was three times called in criminal court, buu as he did not suswer his bond was declared for- foited. Butts, o salcon man, was charged with rupturing the law in this, that he kept his place of business open and sold liquors on the first day of the weck, commoniy known as Sunday, The case of the statoagainst Vera Simeral, who was charged with baving abstracted auite a sum of money from the pociet of Fred Johnson, wus continued untii the next torm, and in tbe weantime Johnson was re- quirea to put up £200 in hard cash, that he would be on band to prosecute.

This is the last aay of the Manufacturers exposition and the last opportpnity for this year, at least, that the ueople will have to sec what has been accomplished in ctho way of manufacturing in Nobraska. At 10:8) this evening the doors will be closed and the exposition a thing of the past. The maou- facturers feol well satistiod and the exposi- tion Is pronouuced a great success, and there is any amount of talk about making it an annual affuir. Today is designated as business men's day and every busivess or professional man who has not already dome so will be expected to attend the exposition this sfternoou or evening. A good many busi- ness men have already visited the exposition. but there are plonty of them who bave not, and their absence hus been noted. The man- ufacturers, baliaving that overy business man in the city is deeply lnterestod in the growth ot the manufacturing industries, will make a last attempt to bring them out and show ther what has already been accom- plished, Prominent business men who have fre- quently been heard to talk wisely about the necessity of increasing the manufacturing industries of the west have really not taken enough interest in the matter to visit the Colisoum and learn the present condition of mavufucturing, The eorts of the manufacturers associa- tion will be concontrated today toward get- ting these men out to the Coliseum, The Grocery Clerks, Last ovening the grocery stores of Omaha and South Omuba closed at 6 o'clock so as to Rive their omployes an opportunity to see tho exposition. A number of mauufacturors, wEo produce goods that are handled by the grocers, bought 1,400 tickets and distributed them among the boys, sending a large num- ber to Council Bluffs, "The tickets were all used and the Col building was again packed with a deeply in- terested crowd. From early in the evening until the bour of closiug there was no stand- ing room to spare. Every cne appeared to be pleased and the crowd was a most good natured one. After secing such a aisplay of manufac- tured goods, and realizing as they had never done vefore the cxtent -and value of Ne- braska industries, maoy of the clerks were heard to remark, I will push home made goods Bfter this. Exposition Notes. The Indians wero a great attraction to the children. The beet sugar exbibit was greatly im- proved Monday. Dorchester, Neb., sent up six people to view the exposition Monduy. A number of Denver people were noticed among the visitors yesterday. Dr. Baker says he is fond of children but he would prefer La take them in smaller doses. g It required five mea to keep the water bar- rels filled Monday, and they worked hard all day. A great many children came with noto books, and carefully recorded much that they saw. From morning until night there was a jam in frout of the Union Life Insurance compa- ny’s exhibit. The Purity Extract company of Lincoln ordered 1,500 buttonhole bouguets for the grocery clerks, Dr. Miller was at the exposition, and re- marked that ke found Nebraska made goods fully up to standard. A representutive of the Evening Herald, Sau Antonio, Tex., was a close observer of everything on exhibit. Wilkie says the day is past when people have to send out of the state for fine work 1n the line of paper boxes. Tom Tuttle’s nouse was brought into good use by tho children, It held tnem all right, wud the plaster didn't crack. The way that the manufacturers haadled the crowd Monday developed the §fact that thoy understand human nature. ‘Thiere has not been an intoxicated person around the Coliscum building during the ex- position, nor hias there beon a pocket picked.

Dr. Duryea Expatiates on tho Achlevements . of That Wonderful Race, Rev. Dr. Duryaa deliverod a very interest- ing lecture on Gireek art to a small avdience at the Lininger gallery last evening. The speaker said that he had a practical object in delivering the lecture. Ho wished 10 assist in awakening an interest that would lead men of means to come to the assistance of the Art association aud lend their means to the development of the . scuool of art in this city. He dividod the history of Greek art into three periods, the Ionian, the Dorian and tho Archwan. The Gresks passed the first period of their development in Asia Minor and tho secocd after they had settied on the shores of the JAizean sea. After the time of Alexander the Great the Greeks had be- como a scattered race, Tuey were no longer powerful in their own land, but their culture predominated in Constantinople, in Antioch and in Alexandria, and even as outcasts from their own country they did their most magnificent work for the world. The nscription over the head of the Cruci- fled Redeomer was writton in three lan- guages, the Hebrew, tno Greek and tho Latin, and from those three people the world had learned neatly all that was worth knowing. Tho Hunrarn taught mankind re- ligion, the Greeks philosophy, art ana litera- ture, and tho Romaus ‘organization, govern- ment and law. The Greeks wero hlso imbued with re- ligious ideas and high moral principles. The grandest achiovement 0f Greek architecture was a temple, and of their statuary the statue of a God. Tha Greeks d'd not excel in painting, because they did not know how to express religious thought and sentiment on canvas, Anthropo—Morphisin was the chief element of their art. Thoy aimed at physical perfection in their life and their statues represented men of perfect physique. . The speaker dwelt at some length on the superiority of the Grecian over the present age, in that less attention was paid to dis- play and more to the development of the race, Among the remains of Grecian archi- tecture were fouud many temples, but no paluces. 'The homes of the wealthiest Greeks were simpler than those of the skilled workingmen the present day. Thoy put their money mto those things which belonged to all aliko instead of de- voting it ¥ self-uggrandizement. *“‘When we grow wealtty in this age,” said the speaker, *we build @ fise house at which peoplo muy look and enyy our luxury. Then we have to have fine es and then car- riages, one in which wesit facing the horses and anothor in which 'we rde backwaras. And then we have to haven flunkey to 100k one way and two flunkeys to look the other way, and thus we masguerade through the stroets looking as comventional as the bas- relief on an Egyptian pyramid. 1f such an outfit as that ‘bad appeared in Greoce, the people would have thrown it into the Azean sea. ‘The history of Greek art teaches us to devote less to display and more to those things whish develop and en- noble humanity,” 5 Dr. Duryea was requested to repeat his lecture at a future dute, when itis hoped a larger audience will be present. POINTS FOR EXHIBITORS. How to Prepste Produsts for Exhibition at the AVorlals Pair. .

Peonsylvania Kick Against Several Things. Suamokiy, Pa, June 2..—The discontent amoug the wivers of the entire anthracite coal region, lncluding the Luzerne, Lehigh, Shamokin ana Schuylkill mines, 1s now re- solving itself into definie shape, which will take the form of an lmmense organized pub- gothor to THE OMAHA DALy BEE. lio protest against the continued and erow- ing evils of short hours, low wagos and un- just dockage. The plan is to organize the minors and mino laborers jnto branch organizations of the United Mineworkers of Anwrica, of which John M- Bride of Ohio is president, and who is in close communication with the leaders of the proposea eastorn Penusylva- nia movement. No forelgn ngitators are as yet on tho ground. Tho men in tho Sharm- Okin rogion are the first to take concerted action, and that was dono on Saturday at a monster picnic held hove, when several thou- savd mon wero present and a sevof length resolutions were agreed upon und passed, but a copy of which is not to be had ior love v, ‘These resolutions, it is under stood, piedge the meu to at once band thom- selves and organizo against the evils being inflicted on thein by their employers, Secretary Foater Recommends New Legis- Intion for Thelr Bettor Distribution, WasHiNgroy,, D. C., June 20.—Secretary Foster hus sent a letter to tho senato recom- mending that the ‘provisions of the actof June 8, 1872, be extended to treasury notes authorized by theactof Juno 14, 1500, and the act approved July 14, 1800, Thore have boen issuedan paymeut for silver bullion purchased, as shown by the statement pub- lished Juno 1, 1842, treasury wuotes in the amount of $07,391,806, It has been tho polioy of this dopartment to oncourage the general distribution of these treasury notes by issuing them in tho smaller denominations as far ®s possible. In pursuance of this policy and in order that there might be no ground for diseriminating against them, my predecessor directod that the outstanding treasury noies be treated in all respects the same as tho United States notes. Among the provisions of law affecting the latter s one contained in the act of Junes, 1872, which authorized their receipt ou deposit without Interest from national banking as- sociutions in sums of not less than $10,000, aud the issue therefor of cortificates of de- posit in denominations not less than £5,000, Soon after the issue of treasury notes it was found that their distribution in amall denom- inations would be facilitated by extending to them the provisions of the actof June 8, 1872, This was accordingly doLe after consultation with the proper officers of the department. Who were of the opinion that such action was not in conflict with any statutes. In view of the fact, howevor, that tho act of July 14, 1890, did not specifically provide for the recelpt of treasury notes in this manner, I deemed iv advisable, when my attention was called to the matter, to_cousult the at- torney general on the subject, and that of- cor, under date of February 15,1502, informed mo that in his opinion such treasury notes Are not so recelvablo. As this opinion was at variance with that under which the de- partment had acted, I at last thought advis- able, alter careful consideration, to discon- 1i0ue the receipt of treasury notes as spacial deposits aud refer the subjéct to congress for such action as it may deem proper. At this time there are no treasury notes of 1890 in the department held as special de- posits. This condition is the retultof steps which were taken as soon as the cocclusion above indicated was reachea, As the crop moving period is near at hand I thought that the continuod 1ssue of the smallor denomina- tions of these notes will, for the present, be acceptable aud will not be immeaiately checked by the discontinuance of their re- ceipt as special doposits; but as soon s the return flow of money to the busiuess centers is established the addition of new curroucy in small denominations, withcut the privi- lego of special doposite ' heretofore allowed, will prove embarrussing alike to the public and the department and, in my ovonion, will oventually result in an increase in the pro- portion of notes of largo denominations. Eu- tertaiuing this view, and being desirous of furnishing to the people for their every -day use an adequate supoly of such denomina- tions of money as they may demand, 1 do nov hesitate to recommand that the provisions of the act of Junes, 1872, be extended by appro- priate legislation to the treasury notes au- thorized by the act of July 14, 1600, NEWS FOR THE ARMY, Complete List of Changes In the Regular Service.

First Appearance of Psycho at a Public Dinner In Many Years, Although Citizen George Francis Train has recently dropped out of public view, it seems that he is still on earth and as lvely as ever. A few ovenings ago the workers on the Cosmopolitan magazine gave a dinner in New York to the veteran John Swinton. In speaking of the affulr John A. Cockerill of the New York Morning Advertiser has this to say about one of the distinguished guests: *To this dinner also came Citizen George Francis Train, who eats little or nothing, and who hus probably not appeared at & public dinner table iu fifteen or twenly years, He said that he had evoluted beyond all that sort of thing, but ‘psychic force' brought him to this feast, and he cortainly was a picturesque object. He wora his customary suit of snowy duck, which matched well his gray bair and set off artistically his bronzed oriental fuce. Ho wore about his waist a red sash, which daagled down on the left side, and when callod on for 4 specch cleared the floor of chairs for a spaco of ten feet and went to work, He took occasion to eviscerate Dr. Parkhurst, Mr. Coms:ock and protty much all the other modern reformers. I was pleased to see that the Citizen bad lost none of his oratorical power, and in the tter of acrobatics ha was fully as springy as when I first met him 10 Melodeon hall, in Cincin- nati, twenty yeats ago. Citizon Train is still'to be found in Madison 8quara on pieas- ant days, communing with nature and feed- ing children with peanuts.” e REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION.
