WAR WIH REDSKINS.
The News from Jackson's Hole is En-
conraging.
INDIANS ARB ON . MOUNTAINS.
Eighty-Five Armed and Mounted Men
Start for Union Pass-Two Hun
dred Bannocks at Utile
Paopaogie Canon.
Salt Lake. Utah.. July S0.-The first
reliable news of the Indian troubles at
Jackson's Hole proper which hus been
received for more than a week came by
messenger this evening via Urlggs,
Ida., from Kort Wilson, a little place
locnted in 'the center of a valley in
Jackson's Hole, over 100 miles from any
railway. The dispatch is dated July
26 and says:
"AU the people of the valley are gath
ered at Wilson's ranch for protection.
One hundred men are under arms.
Night before last a council of war was
held anil four men were selected to re
connoiter aud locate the Indians, but
as yet the scouts tiave not returned.
The Indians must have moved away
back or left the district altogether, as
no redskins have been seen for three
or four days. A company of volunteers
came Into Fort Wilson from Teton
Wednesday after traveling all night.
Exaggerated reports of the trouble led
them to believe help was badly needed
at the Hole, but on their arrival here
they were surprised to find all quiet.
A consultation was held as to the ad
visability of going out and fighting the
Indians. It was decided to remain
passive for the present. The Indians
are no doubt in the mountains and may
make a descent on t.he settlers when
they ore not looltlns; for It. but the opin
ion Is that 1? they had been on the war
path properly, they would have nt
tack?i Fort Wilson before this."

a village on the fringe of the Adiron

threatened. In the evening she re
turned home. When the train stopped
at Jayvllle and the woman stopped oft
she was suddenly surrounded by a
crowd of men who seized her and took
her Into the railroad freight house,
where they stripped her. There was a
crowd of women present dressed In
men's clothes and with blackened faces.
The men then held the woman down
on the floor while the women applied
the tar and feathers with a paint brush,
completely covering her with the stuff,
after which they left her.
She was taken to her mother's house
where a physician was called and found
that one arm and a number of ribs
were broken. It Is claimed tfiat almost

tant Link of Evidence.
MRS. M'MILLAXS LAST HOPE
She tainted in Her Cell when Told That
the Counterfeit Stamps Had Deea
Found-Result of a Long and
Remarkable Chass.
Buffalo, N. Y., July SO. The last link
In the chain of evidence that for
months the United States secret service
has been binding about Mrs. Mary T.
McMillan, alias Mrs. 'Mack, the no
torious stamp counterfeiter who' is
now in the Erie county Jail, was forged
Saturday In Postmaster Raker'a pri
vate olllce, where a satchel belonging
to the woman was opened and found to
contain SS.OOO counterfeit stamps ex
cellently made and done up in live ori
ginal packages.
For two moths secret service men
have searched Buffalo for the valise
and Its finding was one of the cleverest
pieces of detective work done in Buffalo
tn years. With nothing except the fact
t'hat Mrs. Mack visited the American
Express office with a grip early In the
spring to work upon 4'he officers after
two months discovered Its hiding place
and Inspector Ashe, of New York city,
now has the stamps In his possession.
It was found on the Terrace In the pos
sesion of a well-known Huffalonlan of
Ill-repute who may prove to be an Im
portant member of the big counterfeit
ing gang. His connection with the ne
farious work Is being run down and
for that reason his name Is withheld.
Mrs. Mask's Plnn of Operations.
It was a tew days before her arrest
In the spring that I.Mrs. Mark came
over from Hamilton to Buffalo and
asked at the American Express office
for certain packages addressed to ber.
She got them, and, putting them In a
bag satchel, disappeared. No one saw
her after that In Buffalo and after her
arrest the detectives discovering from
Chicago that stamps had been sent her
were puzzled as to what she did with
them.
When Mrs. Mack was told that the
stamps had been found she fainted in
her cell and the matron had hard work
reviving her. So long as the stamps
were undiscovered she could not be di
rectly connected with the Chicago
counterfeiters. Now, however, her last
hope of escape has gone.

for, however, without the strike. There
will be a convention In Pittsburg on
Aug. 1, at which ths policy of ths min
ers will be definitely settled.
"If a strike in the Pittsburg dls-
trlct Is made contingent upon a strike
in Ohio H will be difficult to prevent a

private opinion the Ohio miners can
best help the Pittsburg miners in their
strike by continuing at work, and we
hope to be able to convince the Pitta
burg miners of this."

TWO BROTHERS SHOT DEAD.
Result of a Terrible Duel With Winches
ters on a Florida Lake-A Uullty Wo
man's Love.
Tallahassee, Fla., July 30. Because
of a woman's sins two men are lylnn
dead In the southwestern corner of this
county and their slayer Is under arrest
awaiting trial for murder. The wo
man Is.Mrs. John Adams, the dead men
her husband nnd brother-ln-luw, John
and Charles Adams, and the murderer
Is her lover, Joseph Stafford. All be
long to prominent families In Leon
county. The tragedy occurred Suiulny
afternoon on a small lake near Adams'
home, but the details only reached here
today.
For a long time John Adams has sus
pected that hia wife and Joseph Staf
ford were lovers. Some months ago
he taxed his wife with unfalthfulnt-ss,
but she bitterly denied it, and Staf
ford fiA'ore solemnly that he felt only
a 'brotherly interest in his neighbor's
wife. This satisfied Adams at the time,
but he told Stafford that It would be
best for all concerned If he would keep
away from Mrs. Adams. After this
Mrs. Adams and Stafford no lunger met
openly, but continued their guilty meet
ings In secret.
Early last week Adams became con
vinced that his wife and Stafford .were
betraying him and Saturday he learned
that the guilty couple had named the
boat house on the lake as a trysting
place for Sunday afternoon. Adams
sent for his brother and determined to
trap Mrs. Adams and her lover. Sun
day afternoon Mrs. Adams went down
to the lake and met Stafford at the boat
house. The lovers were getting into a
boat when they saw Adams and hla
brother coming. The woman leaped
from the boat and her lover rowed
away. When Adams and his brother
reached the boat house they sprang
Into another skiff and pursued Staf
ford, who was about fifty yards out on
tho lake.
The Admms ibrot.h.ers and Stafford
were armed with Winchesters awi the
duel between purejutira and pursued b?
gan immediately. According to Mrs.
Adams, who stood on the shore watch
ling the duel, her hufcband fired the flirt
shot, the bulUlt striking one of Staf
ford's oars and knocking It from his
hum. Mtefford returned this fllwt and
the 'womuin a,w 'her husband fall over
In the iboat. Then ehc says; Charlie Ad
ama lay dowa behind his brother's body
and continued llo fire at Stafford. Staf
ford returned the fire and after many
ehots had been exchanged Chuaiie Ad
ami3 give a fhirifk and Ills Winchester
fell Ifrom hi hands.
IMt. Adams saw that her husband
aid bruther-ln-lrw were dfad umd
called to Evaiford to return. iFlufford
rowed up to the toM't containing his vic
tim, towed It to t'he shore and made It
fast. Then the officers were summoned.
They found Jo.huv U. A'd'a.Tn, tho fcw
band, .pierced 'by muniy Ibu'lls. The bul
let 'that Will-d him had entered h.I's
heail:. , After he fell dead he was hit
peveral limes by bullets that were In
tended for Charlie Adams, who was
using Ms corpse as LuTricade. Only
one foullet had ptruok Charlie. Adams,
the last fired by Stafford. This had en
tered btieen l.'he eyen and caus'ed n
stant dt'i'.'h. Stafford was itot scratched,
although half a dozen, bullets hud
pierced his olaMving 4n various places.
One bullet pierced hia tuaf.' aid cut a

QUAY'S DESPERATE TACTICS
Holds a Secret Conference Kith David
Martin and Sues for Peace.
AMS0 TRIED TO HOOK WARWICK
Tbon Made a Personal Appeal to Gover
nor Bastings, Hoping to Split the
Combination Against Him-All
Thcso Negotiations Fail.
Philadelphia, July 30. The Press to
day printed an amazing chapter of po
litical history which carried consterna
tion to the Quay forces and caused
more talk than any other publication
In a decade. It occupied nearly four
columns, and In substance was that
Senator Quay, after consenting to the
withdrawal of Penrose as the slated
candidate for mayor after a private
canvass, taken a few days before the
Philadelphia city convention, had
showed that .Penrose could not be elect
ed, without a hint of his purpose went
back to Washington and delivered his
famous senate siieech arraigning David
Martin, thus repudiating his own ac
quescence of two days before.
The disclosure reviews the subse
quent steps In Quay's fight to down
Martin: how he called for the appoint
ment of a so-culled Lexow committee to
be used as a club over Martin's head;
how he tried to browbeat the governor
by his flirht on apportionment, which ho
won only by an alliance with the Dem
ocrats, and then decreed that Gllkeson
should be unhorsed because he had
stood by the governor and the constitu
tion; nnd finally how, as a last recourse.
Quay himself announced his candidacy
for state chairman, hoping to utilize
his nnrsonnl nodularity as a club where
with to bulldoze the entire Republican
administration and all its friends.
The Startling Climax.
The Press article concludes as fol
lows: "Finally, having precipitated
unnecessary and unprovoked war on
every hand where there had until then
been unity and peace, and set him
self against all his former friends who
would not agree that friendship must
mean unquestioning servitude. Senator
Quay undertook to set those whom he
had assailed against each other by se
cret deals and treaties with them indi
vidually. To Intimate friends who
talked with him he said:
" 'I cannot win against this connblna-
tton, but I can break It up and win. I
will pull Warwick out of It. If I cannot
get: him, I will pull Martin out of it. If
I camnot get hlim, I will pull Hastings
out of It. If I cannot get him, I wlJl
pull 'M.igee out of St."
"Pursuant to I. his design Senator
Quay came to Philadelphia- and had a
private ,1-itervlew with Mayor War
wick. Fa'iili.ng 1'here, he sought an In
terview with David iMartln oame to
Phtladiflphia awd had a secret; Interview
wl'h Mr. Martin a.nd made preposl
tici:.? for his support whifrh were abso
lutely declined. Still pursuing this de
sign he went to Harrl.siburg and had a
