Aside from all the dangers of | the trip it will be a most disagreeable one. It is very hot here in the middle of the day, and the trails are very dusty. At 1 o'clock to-day General Coppinger decided to call out additional military forces, and sent a dispatch to Fort Russell, at Cheyenne, Wyo., ordering five compa- nies of the Eighth Infantry to leave for this point at once. Speaking of the order Lieutenant Hutcheson, the general’s aid, The Ninth Cavalry makes as fine an ap- | pearance and has as splendid a lot of offi- | cers as can be found anywhere among Uncle n’s soldiers. There are present and in charge of this expedition, General Coppir ,» commander of this depart- ment; Major Chaffee, in command of this battalion; Colonel Randall of the Eighth Infantry at Fort Russell; Major Hum- phreys, chief quartermaster; Lieutenant Hutchinson, General Coppinger's aid; Colonel Frank Foote of the Wyoming Na- tional Guards; Adjutant-General Stitzer of Wyoming; and from Fort Robinson, Captains Stedman, Lord, and | Guilfoyle and Lieutenants Gardner, Ste- vens, Parker, Preston, Hamilton and Hickock. Lieutenant Penn of Fort Omaha has been left here in charge of a general supply depot. Dr. Lynch of Fort Robin- son accompanies the troops as surgeon; the 200 troopers are a splendid-looking lot of young negroes, excellent riders and the best of soldiers. The cavalrymen take no extra horses, but they have with them | sixty-six pack mules, each loaded with 250 pounds. This train is in charge of nine expert packers. Five escort wagons and an ambulance completed the caravan that pulled oat here this evening, past the en- tire population of the town—thirty-six. ‘The soldiers were smiling and joking, while many of the women were in tears at the thought of the fate the bluecoats might meet. “It is a precautionary move, believed to be necessary because of the apparently un- settled condition of affairs in the Jacksons Hole country. All sorts of rumors are afloat, but it is thought that there is little truth in any of them so far as the im- mediate danger of the settlers is concerned. Other troops have been ordered to hold themselves in readiness to respond at any time to call.” The other companies notified to be ready for a sudden call are at Fort Niobrara, Fort Omaha and Fort Robinson, Nebr., Fort Meade, 8. D., and Fort Russell, Wyo. Colonel F. M. Foote of the Wyoming National Guard, who accompanies the troops at the special request of General Coppinger, and as the representative of the Wyoming executive, has received a letter from Governor Richards in which he says: “Urge the settlers to do nothing to further aggravate the Indians, but to aid the military in removal in every way. Now that we have started upon this busi- ness we will stick to it until the Indians learn that they must respect the laws. We have nothing to do with the treaty at the present. Our business is to see that the laws of Wyoming are enforced. When they are declared unconstitutional by a court we can quit them.” All the latest reports from Jacksons Hole are to the effect that it is quiet there, and although the settlers are greatly alarmed, they have not been attacked by the Indians. There have been some minor brushes between the red men and the whites, but no reliable report has been re- ceived that any one has been killed since the original trouble. Reliable reports continue to come in, SAN FRANCISCO, SUNDAY MORNING, JULY 28, 1895-TWENTY-FOUR PAGES. PRICE FIVE CENTS. A GROUP OF BANNOCK INDIANS AS THEY APPEARED AT McDONALD’S EXHIBITION IN PARIS. [Reproduced from a painting.] headed for Jacksons Hole. At China Point, forty-five miles north of here, fifty Lemhi bucks, gaudy with war paint, crossed the railroad on the Jacksons Hole trail. There were no squaws with them, but they had many extra ponies. Before the troops left this evening ar- rangements were completed for courier service between this point and the moving troops, and finally Jacksons Hole. A daily report will be received from the troops during their absence. covered by swift relay riders in fifteen hours. Four horses will be used on each trip to make this time.and the most exper- ienced and trustworthy men in this part of the country have been secured to do the work. Adjutant Stitzer dispatched Deputy Sheriff Hawley to the Jacksons Hole local- | ity last Thursday and unless some ill for- tune has befallen him he will be back here before morning. TRUOOPS FROM CHEYENNE. Five Companies of the Fighth Start for Jacksons Hole. CHEYENNE, Wvo., July 27.—Prospects of further trouble in Jacksons Hole are growing more alarming. General Coppinger to-day wired Colonel Van Horn, in com- mand of the troops at Fort Russell, three miles from here, to have five companies of | the Eighth Infantry prepared to move to the scene of action to-night. They left here at 8 o’clock to-night on a special train under command of Major W. H. Bishee of the Seventeenth Infantry. Each soldier carries 300 rounds of ammunition. The command left here in light marching order, and rationed until August 31. A letter received here to-day from Jack- sons Hole stated that the settlers and their families were remaining at Marysvale, where they were well fortified and prepared for any sudden attack the Indians may make upon them. No dispatches have been received here corroborating the reports that sixteen fam- ilies had been massacred in Jacksons Hole. The reports originated from some Eastern hunters, who came into Market Lake and stated that every man, woman and child in Jacksons Hole had been murdered. The report of General Stitzer, who is on the ground, is undoubtedly in the hands of Governor Richards, who went west with General Coppinger, and has not yet been received here. A courier came into Market Lake late last night, also reporting the massacre. The quartermaster at Fort Russell received a dispatch this evening from headquarters at Omaha stating that two companies of infantry now at Fort Niobrara, Nebr., would arrive here to- morrow evening and be consolidated with the three companies now at Fort Russell to make a battalion, which will be ordered to the front on Monday morning. TOURISTS DRIVEN OUT. Many Hastening Bacl From the Jacksons Hole Country. SALT LAKE, Uran, July 27. — Hoyt Sherman Jr. of the Denver and Gulf road, and a member of the Utah Commission, returned to-day from Idaho. His family was staying at the country house of M. C. -Fox, thirty miles north of Soda Springs, which is not far from the scene of the In- dian trouble. Mr. Sherman states that great excitement prevails all along the Short Line, but, owing to this fact. the re- ports are apt to be exaggerated. He and Mr. Fox have removed their families to Soda Springs. Tourists in the Yellowstone are return- ing in baste and others have deferred their trip until the trouble is over. A party of thirty came into Salt Lake to-day from the East expecting to go up to-morrow, but the trip was postponed. D. C. Dunbar, clerk of the United States court here, returned to-day from Idaho. In conversation with THE CALL corre- spondent he stated that on Wednesday he met a great number of Indians at the head of the Blackfoot, They were returning in large bands to the reservation, were well armed, but seemed perfectly peaceable. One of them, speaking to him, said that only one white man had been killed at the Hole, and that he was a bad man, always worrying the Indians. Mr. Dunbar says that four trains, forty- however, telling of more Indian warriors | four cars of cavalry and equipment passed | The 120 miles be- | tween Marysvale and Market Lake will be up the road this morning for the seat of ‘War. ROAST FOR THE SETTLERS. Agent Tetters Says the Whites Caused All the Troubie. MARKET LAKE, Ipano, July 27.—In- dian Agent Tetters, in his official report to the Indian Commissioner of his investiga- | tions of the Jacksons Hole trouble, says: | From reliable information I have no hesita- | tion in saying that for every elk killed unlaw- fully by Indians two are killed unlawfully by settiers (in this connection I will state that I was fed upon fresh-killed elk meat during my entire stay in the Jack<ons Hole countey), and were the Indians citizens and voters in Wyom- ing their killing game unlawfully would never be questioned. ‘While there are a few good citizens ranch- | ing in the Jacksons Hole country the majority | are:men “who have left their country for their | country’s good.” The Jacksons Hole country of every description from Wyoming, Idahoand adjacent States. The Indians killed by these settlers were practically massacred. The reds, to the num- ber of sixteen, having been arrested and dis- armed, were taken before a Justice of the | Peace, naturally in sympathy with the settlers, and fined $75 each. Being unable to pay the fine they were herded like sheep and treated in & manner calculated to arouse their resent- | ment, and which would not be tolerated by hite men similarly situated. One batch, dis- armed, was being driven by a body of armed settlers, and in passing over a trall where the Indians had been accustomed to ride in free- | @om, made a break for liberty, whereupon the guard opened fire at once and killed six In- dians, going upon the principle “A dead In- | dien is a good Indian.” The men who committed this crime should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law and receive the severest penalty the law can give, | not only as an example to other lawless set- tlers, but as a preventive to future disturb- ences between settlers and Indians, for if jus- | tice is not done the Indians in this case the | Indians will seek revenge, and a continuous border warfare will be the result. | A certainelement among the settlers in Jack- sons Hole country seems determined to drive | the Indians from that section at whatever cost, not recognizing any law’ themselves but that which serves their interests. Adjutant-General Stitzer, who is here for the Governor of Wyoming, is naturally | inclined to the way of thinking of the | settlers, acknowledging a difference of | | opinion of a radical sort between himself | | and Tetters. There is no friction between them. As to the whites killing game all the year round General Stitzer denies that this is permitted, but asserts that the whites are confined to an open season, and his contention is that the Indians are no better than the whites and should be likewise held in check. To which the major re- joins that although that is the law itis passed smoothly over. But the majoris alone in his advocacy of the Indian so far as this town is concerned. There is an op- position to the red ‘man which is taking a form of sincere hopes on all sides that the military will kill every Indian, Shoshone, Bannock, Lemhi and all, and finally free the country of their presence. The Jackson Hole sentiment exists all over Idako and Wyoming. The generally expressed view of the future is that the Indians will have sought the seclusion of their reservation by the time the troops reach the scene and there will be no enemy to subdue when General Coppinger and his men get over into the picturesque Yellow- stone country. DISTILLERIES TO BE CLOSED. An Effort to Force the Price of Whisky Upward. LOUISVILLE, Ky., July 27, — The wholesale liquor-dealers of Louisville met this afternoon and indorsed the action of the Kentucky Distillery Association to ‘huve all the distilleries make no whisky during the season of 1895-96. The dealers also recommended a conservative produc- | tion of whisky for the subsequent years. This, it is hoped, will make’ prices go up, and wholesale liquor-dealers all over the country are asked to take action in the matter. ——— Formed a Miners’ Union. MARQUETTE, Mica., July 27.—The or- ganization of the miners’ union was per- fected to-day. The organizers will give no particulars, except that over 4000 members were enrolled. The local management of the mines shut down by the strike to-day say that by Friday or Saturday of this week they will have a reply from the min- ing company to the of the strikers, is recognized es the place of refuge for outlaws | SWEPT B THE CYCLONES, | Houses and Crops Destroyed in Three Eastern States.

Church steeples all came down crops in the track of the tornado are all cut down. MADISON, Wis., July 27.—A very se- vere hailstorm swept across the southern and western section of this county last night, totally destroying the corn crop. No estimate of the damage can yet be made. CLINTON, Iowa, July 27.—Reports of a damaging storm come from all over the State. Three houses in this county were struck by lightning and six people out sailing were thrown into the river. Three miles of ‘the Northwestern Railroad tracks were washed out and a freight train ditched. Three inches of rain fell in an hour. A stretch of territory a mile wide across Jackson and Clinton counties was devastated by hail, corn being literaily stripped. PRINCETON, IrL., July 27.—A cyclone leaving a desolate path one-fourth of a mile wide in its wake made its appearance last night west of Buda, and traveling in a northeasterly direction, passed between the villages of Wyana and Pond Creek toa point near Tiskilwa, where it disappeared. The track of the cyclone was about fifteen miles in length, and throughout this distance the corps, fences, trees ana barns were completely destroyed and two houses partially wrecked. The total damage in the path of the storm is esti- ‘mated at $80,000. e ALL THBE PATIENTS ESCAPED., Tne Fire atthe Madison Poorhouse Caused by Lightning. MADISON, Wis., July 27.—News came here last night that the County Poorhouse Insane Asylum, located eight miles south- west of this place, bad been struck by lightning. The morning papers report the loss at$1,000,000. The Sheriff, who has just returned from there, reports that the fire began between the old and new buildings, the windmill being struck. From there the gro spread to two build- ingsand the new brick one constructed last vear was consumed. The Madison fire de- partment saved the old building. The building cost only $8000, and was not insured. The 150 inmates were all gotten our safely with their clothing and are being cared for in the old building. The only casualty was an accident to the superin- tendent, who fell twenty feet from the roof and broke his arm. grrsins AN Democrats of Iowa. DES MOINES, Iowa, July 27.—Includ- ing the county conventions held to-day more than half the delegates to the Democratic State convention are now chosen. Nearly all the counties have adopted resolutions reaffirming the plat- form of 1892 or demanding that State issues be made the only ones of the cam- aign. To-day Adams, Van Buren, lardin, Cedar, Chickasaw, Des Moines and Keoknk counties held 'conventions and declined to take up silver's cause.

THREATENED THE PRIESTS Armed With Revolver and Knife a Crank Invaded a Cathedral. When Arrested' He Sald He Had Been Forced to the Act by Spirits. PITTSBURG, Pa., July 27.—Dan Ma- loney, a dangerous religious crank, last evening stalked up the main aisle of St. Paul’s Roman Catholic cathedral, armed with a revolver and a knife, the blade of which was a foot long, and declared that he would kill everybody in the church. He said that when he had finished his bloody work there, he would go to the Episcopal residence and kill Bishop Phelan and all the priests. There were but few people in the church when Maloney made his appearance, and they precipitately fled outside. Maloney then started for the Episcopal residence, uttering threats as be proceeded. Special Officer Seigard hastened to the spot and placed Maloney under arrest. He was given a hearing this morning. The ex- amination revealed that Maloney is a crank on religion, and that had he not been taken into custody when he was he would proba- bly bave carried out his threats. He said that since he left the Catholic church the Bishop and priests have followed him with all sorts of punishment. He worships a different spirit _from that of the priests and his spirit told him the only way he could rid himself of their an- noyance was to kill them. It was for the purpose of carrying out the command of the spirit he worships that he armed him- self and went to the cathedral last night. He says the strong arm of the law may re- move him for a time, but the spirit will reserve him until he can have revenge. g{ugiut rate Doherty sent him to the work- house for thirty days. Inthe meantime his mental condition will be looked into. ST il DEMOCRATS OF MISSOURI. They Are Not in Harmony on the Silver Question. NEVADA, Mo., July 27.—At the Demo- cratic Silver Convention beld prior to the regular call for a State convention, fifteen delegates were selected to represent the countv at any State convention that might be held. Ata subsequent meeting of the county committee Chairman Gray and Setretary Buchanan were directed to call a new delegate convention to elect a new delegation. To-day Chairman Murray said thuighe had conciuded not to call any new convention, but to allow the old delegates to act, there not being any probability of their regulerity being challenged at the convention. KANSAS CITY, Mo., July 27.—The Democratic committee of Jackson County wrangled three hours this afternoon over the question of primaries to name dele- ates to the silver convention, and finally Eroka up in a row, with two factions claim- ing victorv. The anti-Brown men pres sented a petition, which its twelve men voted for, deposing Brown as chairman and electing George M. Shelley in his place. e g ONE STEAMER DRIVEN ASHORE. Additional Details of the Storm on the Japan Coast. LONDON, Exa., July 27.—A dispatch to the Lloyds from Nagasaki, dated July 26, says that during the storm which swept the coast of Japan early yesterday the German steamer Helen Rickmere parted her cable and drifted ashore at Kabusa, near Kuchinotsu. g The steamer 1s partly loaded, and is in a dangerous position, as the heavy seais moving her further up on the beach. All of the other vessels which were driven ashore have been floated, with the exception of the ship Marechal Suchat from Philadelphia. Later dispatches to Lloyds state that the British ship Marechal Suchat, Captain Reade, was at Hiogo when the storm oc- curred. She was just getting under way on a voyage for San Francisco when the hurricane struck her with great sudden- ness and carried her ashore. R o R SBLAUGHTER OF THE SPANISH. Crushing Defeat of General Campos’ Forces in Cuba. SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July 27.—The great sensational news of to-day is the de- feat of Martinez Campos. On the 13th inst. he left Manzanillo for Bayamo on horseback accompanied by a column of 2000 men.

The Erie road has been in the hands of receivers since 1893. YOUTHS FOUGHT A DUEL, Terrible Battle With Knives Between Rival Lovers in Indiana. One Was Killed on the Fleld of Honor and the Other Cannot Live. LOUISVILLE, Ky., July 27.—A duel was fought to-day across the niver in Indiana, near Marietta, in Crawford County, between two youths, culminating in the death of one and the fatal wounding of the other. For some months there has existed be- tween Charles Duffin and Charles Enlow, both sons of well-known farmers, a feud, which had originated in the rivalry for the affection of a young lady. For some time they bad met but seldom, but these rare and chance meetings served to warm the feelings into fever heat. This morning the young men met on the public road and decided to settle the feud. Each got in position, bared his breast and drew his knife, and the fight began. Enlow made a stab at Duffin and badly wounded his right arm near the hand. This infuriated Duffin, and he changed his weapon to his sound hand and then cut a deep gash in his antagonist’s neck, the cut extending down to the top of the left lung. Although Enlow fell to the ground in an unconscious state from his wounds Duffin went at him like a tiger, and inflicted no less than five other wounds in his body be- fore he dropped almost lifeless from the loss of blood from his injured arm. Enlow was dead before help reached him and Duffin has lost so much blood that he will die. Duffin was carried to his home and a surgeon summoned. Afterward he was arrested, but was released upon $3000 bail. The preliminary trial of Duffin was held by his bedside, and the evidence offered showed that he had acted on the defensive. He will doubtless die. Eriaa MURDER OF A CHILD. The Body Discovered While Dogs Were Devouring the ¥lesh. JEFFERSONVILLE, Isp., July 27.— Never before in the history of this city were the inhabitants so thoroughly aroused as they were to-night. Shortly before 6 o’clock the mutilated body of a three- year-old child was found a short distance irom town. The child had been murdered, and when two farmers found the body savage dogs were tearing it fo pieces. It was with the greatest difficulty that the men drove off the dogs. A physician who was summoned discovered two fractures in its skull, which caused death. He said the child had been dead several days. There is no clew to the perpetrators of the deed. While the excitement was at its height the three-year-old child of Mrs. Nettie White was found starving to_death in her apartments where she haa left it. ‘When the little one was taken out and cared for the citizens were unable to restrain themselves and gathered about the house and tore it to pieces, wrecking the furni- ture and destroying everything it con- tained. Mrs. White cannot be found, and her whereabouts is unknown. Sy Damage Done by Wind. MARION, IrL., July 26.—Thousands of dollars’ worth of property has been de- stroyed by a heavy wind and rain storm ‘which passed over this part of the country between 5 and 6 o’clock this morning. Heavlly loaded peach and apple trees by the thousands were strip of their almost-ripe fruit, while -many fields of corn are as flat as if a heavy field roller had passed over them., The corn was just far enough advanced for the britile stalks to snap well, and no amount of rain or sunshine will save it. Escaped a Furious Mob. MEXICO, Mo., July 27.—After a rapid ride of four hours across the country Sheriff Windsor landed Emmet Divers, the negro who_assaulted and murdered Mrs. Cain, near Fulton yesterday, in the County Jail at this place. "After hiscapture Divers was placed in jail at Fulton, but the Sheriff learned that a mob was organizing to Iynch him. At 9 o’clock last night he placed the negro in a hight wagign to drive here. As they were leaving Fulton a mob fired a Ve ugizf shots after the wagon, but no one was LYNCHED AT O'NEALS, MurdererAdams Hanged by Madera County Vigilantes. SWIFT JUSTICE METED. No Mercy Shown the Cowardly Assassin of Judge Baker. CAPTURED IN THE MOUNTAINS. He Was Taken Back to the Scene of His Crime and There Qulckly Executed. MADERA, Car, July 27.—Citizens of Madera County have decided that justice, as meted out in the courts, is too slow for such murderers as Victor Adams so when he was captured yesterday morning they took the law into their own hands and sus- pended him by means of a rope to the limb of a liveoak tree. Five days ago Adams shot and killed his father-in-law, Juage Baker, in the doorway of the victim’s house, and since that time two posses have been looking for him. One was composed of officers and the other of citizens. The posse under the leadership of Sheriff Westfall had seen no trace of Adams, and Westfall, and becoming dis- couraged, returned last night from the hills with no news from the scene of the tragedy. Buta posse of citizens, headed by Tom Baker, a brother of the murdered man, bad rightly conjectured that Adams’ course would lead toward the summit of the mountains. They worked in that di- rection, but the murderer eluded them un- til yesterday morning, when he ran almost into the arms of his pursuers. Tom Baker and a companion were sleep- ing togetherin a barn in the vicinity of North Fork and in the morning, about the break of day, when they were making preparations to leave the barn and resume the hunt, they espied Adams sneaking cautiously into the barn. The murderer was not alert enough to save himself, for Baker immediately had his gun leveled at him and commanded him to throw up his hands. Adams dropped his shotgun and complied. Baker’s companion then disarmed Adams, taking from him his shotgun and a bowie-knife. Adams’ hands were bound behind him with leather cords; then he was placed upon one of the saddle-horses and the two proceeded with him to within about three miles of O'Neals, and almost in sight of the house where Adams bad committed the crime that he was now about to expi- ate. The news of his capture had spread and a large number of determined men were soon on the spot. All formalities were dis- pensed with. A noose was carefully ad- justed about Adams’ neck. His eyes were ot blindfolded, but gazed beseechingly upon his executioners as a score of willing hands pulled him into eternity. The body was left hanging there, await- ing the official action of the Coroner. The news of the lynching spread rapidly and a great number of people are con- stantly visiting the place to see the body of the murderer. Coroner Payne started immediately for the scene, but as the distance isabout thirty miles from here the inquest will not be held till to-morrow afternoon. Victor Adams’ crime was a peculiarly cold-blooded and brutal one. Hhe had married a stepdaughter of Judge Baker against the latter’s wishes, and bad blood had always existed between the two. Last Tuesday they met near the Judge’s house and quarreled. Adams attempted to shoot Judge Baker, but was stopped by a by- stander. Baker started for home with his stepson- in-law following a short distance behind him. As the old man crossed the threshold of his house he turned to glance toward the road, and saw Adarus taking aim at him. He shouted, “Don’t shoot,” and the words were his last. There was a report, and Baker fell into the arms of his wife, who bad come from an inner room to greet him. Then with fiendish brutality Adams ranup and fired the remaining charge in his shotgun into the dying man’s body. Defying pursuit he turned and dashed into the brush. Other crimes charged against Adams proved him to have been a thorough villain. ‘A few months ago he turned his little girl out of his house because she could not find some sheep that had strayed away. The child spent the night in the mountains, and was found late the following afternoon faint from hunger and eexcfosure. Adams later attempted to kill his_step- daughter. The girl was bound hand and foot, gagged, and thrown into a creek. The stream was shallow enough to enable her to keep her nose above water, and after en- during three hours of torture she was dis- covered and rescued. For weeksafterward the girl hovered between life and death. LEVISTRAUSS cdfigg;r%n OVERALLS "~ AND SPRING BOTTOM - PANTS. EVERY PAIR GUARANTEED. FOR SALE EVERYWHERE. -
