Washington, June 25. Additional
reports received at the Indian bureau
on the trouble growing out of the
shooting of Joslah Red Lodge at
Arapahoe, Ok., Implicated Littleman,
soo-in-law of fjofy Delly, of the Chey-
ene and Arapahoe*, as the party who
recently assaulted un oetegeneriau
woman there, which was the primary
cause of the trouble. There were six
witnesses ready to testify for the
prosecution and the only ono who
corresponds with the description
given is i.lttleman. He was at Ara-
pahoe when the crime was committed
and evidence. It is ascertained, points
strongly to hU guilt. The condition
of Josiah Red Lodge, who was soot
by the sheriff while under suspicion,
is improving. A report from School
Superintendent Seger, who was Hent
to Arapahoe, says: “The Indiana are
quiet, considering the inhuman and
uncalled for treatment from the
sheriff. They believe Red Lodge to
bo innocent and Littleinan guilty.
There is a strong resemblance be-
tween the two men. Red Lodge's
version of the shooting is substan-
tially this; Ho was in charge of the
sheriff, who told him to get into tha
buggv with him. Ho did so. but
neither could understand the other’s
language. From signs of the sheriff
ho understood ho was being taken
out to bo thrown into a well or borne
hole in the ground on the outskirts
of town, where he bjw a crowd
gathering. Ha preferred to be shot,
got out of tha buggy, faood the sheriff
and made signs for him to shoot.
Walking backward a short distance
to see if he would not then be
shot. He kept *hie face toward
the sheriff so as to receive the
shot in the head, and then he turned
and ran away slowly und the sheriff
began shooting, a shot grazing his
thigh. Another man whom Red
Lodge thought was going to hang
him, shot at him several times. The
Indian ran toward him, hut tho
crowd came up, struck him with a
knife and flats, kicked, cursed and
abused him and left him unconscious
ou the prairie. ’The sentiment is
strongly against the sheriff, who is
charged with laying himself open to
prosecution by overstepping his au-
thority.” (.'apt. Maokay. command-

was the scene of a mysterious lynch-

John Trye, 22 years of age. His body
was found dangling to a telegraph
pole at tho skirts of town early yester-
day morning. Frye belonged to a
gang of young men who made it a
business of butulug down property in
Gretna, in the gang were Trank
Strahl, nephew of Sheriff James
Whitesides, nephew of the chief of po-
lios and Gustav Raphael. Sunday
night tho gang was caught setting
lire to a disorderly house occupied by
negroes. They defied the police and
did their work right under the eye*
of two policemen. Later Raphael,
Strahl and Whitesides were arrested
and lodged iu jail. T'ryo was captured
some hours afterward and while
bringing him to jail his captors were

Washington, June 25____An account
of tho wreck of tho Colima has reach-
ed the slate department from United
States Consul Eugene Ilattlo at Aeacul-
po, Met., dated Juno 18. He trans-
mits tho statemet of Mr. Chilberg,
corroborated by throe other passen-
gers end two seamen, saying the wind
and heavy sea were the causes of the
wreck and probably a leak in tho ves-
sel. Twenty-one persons were picked
up by the San Juan and ten who weut
ashore ou life rafts were taken care of
by the governor of Colima. Two
Mexican steamers rendered prompt
service. One hundred and six-
ty-five persons were lost and
thirty-one saved and the consul
believes that but little more of the
missing will ever be known. Mr.
Chilberg of Seattle says that the Col-
ima putting out from Manaxanlllo at
5 o'clock on May 26 experienced
heavy weather, making only about
eight knots all night, laboring heav-
ily. About forty miles from port aud
ten to fifteen to shore there came a
terrlhle wind. No ono could stay on
deck. He thinks the officers were
trying to put the ship about to return
to port when sho was struck by »
heavy swell at a critical time with
such force that ehe capsized in ten
ten mimutes in 150 fathoms of water.
Chilberg was washed overboard,
caught a life raft with four others
and got eshore after being in
the water thirty-throe hours He
thinks the Btoamer sprung a leak as
she listed more and more before the
accident and never seemed to recover
herself in tho least. Oue of the rafts
had eight men on it, but the soa wus
so rough that the raft made three
complete revolutions. losing a man
every time, leaving five who made
(tie shore The people ashore re-
ceived them with the greatest kind-
ness, giving them food, water and tho
best accommodations their humble
abodes could provide. At Colima the
governor provided them with food
and clothing and gave them transpor-
tation to Manzanillo. Consul Rattle
suggests that the state department
recognize iu some way the good
offices tendered by Gov. Santa Cruz
in behalf of the distressed American
aitlzens.
AttM^kert by m Wi!4 Hog.
New York, Juno 25.—A special
from Tailahasse, Fla., says: Near
this place Mrs. Esther Moore was at-
tacked by a wild hog and nearly torn
to pieces. The woman and her littlo
daughter had gone out to pick berries
when the animal charged upon them.
The child fled, but the mother tripped
and fell, and iu au instant the hog
was upon her, tearing her with its
sharp tusks. Every thrust tore the
flesh in a horrible manner. Ono
thrust entered the anklo and ex-
tended to the thigh, cutting the flesh
as a razor wouid have done. The
little girl’s screams attracted a man
who happened to be near, and he ran
to the spot and shot the animal.
Tho woman hud been wounded in a
score of places. Her clothing had
been torn off and her shoes were cut
into shreds. The animal was a mag-
nificent specimen of its kind, weigh-
ing 200 pounds. Its tuska were ex-
tremely long aud whetted to a sharp
point.
Muit Withdraw.
Cleveland, O., June 25.—The offi-
cial organ of Bishop Horstmau of the
Catholic diocese of Cleveland, is out
with the statement that thero bus
been received from Rome a reitera-
tion of the pope’s request that all
members of the church withdraw
from secret societies, notably the
Odd Fellows und tho Knights ol
Pythias. Ex-Congressman Foran,
one of the leading attorney of this
city, and other prominent Catholics
in this city who are members of secrel
societies, consulted and decided to
write Mgr. Satolli and ask whether
the pope's declaration wouid be en-
forced as an edict. Mr. Foran who is
one of tho leading members of the
Elks and Knights of Pythias, declared
in an Interview that while he was a
good Catholic, his secret society con-
nections were u matter of conscience
and that he would not give way to
any authority on that point

est mountain in this country. All
around are smiling fields as far as the
eye can reach, until vision Is Interrupt-
ed by the mountains which encircle the
valley. Some one has said the West
range on tho east are a ring and that
Blnco Is the setting. These mountains
afford every variety of amusement and
entertainment. There Is fine trout fish-
ing; In season there are plenty of duck4
and curlew. These are In the valley.
If big game Is desired you must go
back into the mountains, where elk.

etc., are still to he found. Outfit at one
of the pleasant little hamlets and spend

you wish to meet the gay social pat-
ties, that make themounl aina their

delightful resorts on the line of the

ued change of pleasure, resulting more
