Western Cattlemen at War with Stock-Thieves.

A BLOODY EXCAf.l'MNT REPORTED.

It Or. urs in Montana, ami Kiglit Ituncli. or* Are Sulil to llav* lWu«n Sl tln_ A W in- of Kxtcrmitinllou 1 .' Inaugurated.'

ni:i KATKi nv Tin-: uusn.i nn. HEI.KNA, Mont., April 9. A dispatch from Dillon, in the southern part of the state on the road to Jackson, ill W'voming, announces that a battle oeenrred two days ago between a band of thieves and cattlemen on the Montana side 01 the Wind river country. The news was brought in by a ranchman who tall,-fd with one of the participants.

Ranchmen from southern Montana, northern Wyomiiv," and northern Idaho, exasperated by the depredations of an organized band of thieves of the. Teton section, assembled by agreement at a point somewhere west of Hlaekfoot and began the search for the robbers ami found a large body intrenched in winter quarters.

Klcltt Men Killed.

They attacked them and were repulsed, losing eight killed and many wonnded. The robbers also lost lieavllv. It is known that the ranchmen had been contemplating this action, ami that fact gave color to the rumor. The place where the light is said to have occurred is isolated and news of the light would not reach the outside world for several days. This encounU-.r is supposed to have occurred 011 Given river, where the ontlaws have winter quarters.

News comes from ItillingH, Mont., that the body of a man, as yet unidentified, was found Wednesday evening in a secluded place about 10 miles from there. He had been shot in the head tt'id had been dead, it is conjectured, about ten days. Two dead horses, also shot, with bridles on. were lying near by. There have been two other mysterious disappearances of Wyoming rustlers who were en route to Canada within the last two weeks.

Ilirorporutcil Hand of Tlilrvon. This band of horse and cattle thieves is incorporated under Ihe laws of Wyoming under a high-sounding name. Plans for a war of extermination have been under formation since last fall. Besides a party 01 twenty-live that started out from Hillings it, is learned that a party left Hig- Timber March 10, under the lead of Sim Roberts. The party composed thirteen men, all of them frontier and mountain men. They loaded two cars with horses, pack mules, guns, ammunition and food. Their departure was kept a secret as far as possible, the newspapers being asked to withhold all information for the present. One hundred thousand dollars' worth of beef was raised for this expedition ajid the men are paid Si,000 each. The loaders get S2.AOO.

Moody War in i'lmpvrt.

Woody war is expected. The outlaws are determined not to yield to arrest. There is still a great deal of snow in the mountains and it may be slow work for the cattlemen to reach their headquarters, but they have the satisfaction of knowing that the thieves will have no chance' of getting away from their mountain fastnesses and snowbound basin. livery road from the basin is guarded.

Hanged Sixty Men.

It was in 1SS I that the last expedition of this kind was formed. The men started out in June aud cleaned out the last thief in December. They hanged sixty men and followed some of them into Canada. The biggest killing took place on Big Bend of the Missouri, where the cattlemen had a battle. The Marquis de Mores figured in that raid. He contributedS5,000 and afterward left the country on a vacation.

Will Surround tlio KugtWT*. CASPAR, Wyo., April 9.—The cattle army that left here a few days ago is one of tho heaviest armed expeditions that ever passed into the Big Horn country. They have a small cannon with them and have announced their intention of carrying a war of extermination against the men they term rustlers who, however, claim to be peaceful ranchmen, whom the cattle kings have branded thieves and are trying to run out of the country. An army of men are reported between Lost Cabin and Leader, headed for the basin, and if it, is true that an army went by way of Gillette into the basin it must be that they are going to unite at the present camp •of the cattle army. The greatest fears of the friends of the rustlers is that the cattlemen from Montana will eoinc down through the basin from Hillings and that the two armies will get the rustlers between tliein and exterminate, them.

WILL COST THREE LIVES.

In FU of Joaloiuy .lolin MrCurdy, of Canton, )., Shot UN Wifr. a Krlend, ami Committed Kiilcld*.

CANTON, O., April 9.—A most deplorable tragedy occurred here Friday afternoon by which S. T. Walenbaugh Hnd John MeCurdy lost their lives and Mrs. MeCurdy was seriously wounded. The shooting was done by MeCurdy. No particulars can be definitely given, us there were no witnesses to the affair. Mrs. McCnrdy is too weak to talk, all she could say being: "John MeCurdy shot^'aleubaugh, myself and then himself." The supposition is that McC'urdy found his wife and Walenbatigli together in the room in which they were shot, and in a lit of jealousy committed the rash act. 1

To Succeed iFu.tlce Bradley. LANCASTER, I'a., April 9.—It can be stated on high authority that President Harrison has practically decided to nominate J. Hay Brown, of this city, for the seat on the supreme court of the United States made vacant by the death of Justice Bradley. Mr. Brown was warmly indorsed by the Pennsylvania senators and Congressman Vrosius.

SHOT DOWN.

Bkhu.n, April 9.—A remarkable story comes from Koscieleg, a village near lnowrazlaw, a town of Prussia, province of 1'oscn. Dr. Poninsky, a high Polish ecclesiastic, who was traveling through Koscieleg. was waylaid by four men, who were, apparently, waiting for him. and before be could make a single attempt to either defend himself or escape, all four of them tired at him with revolvers. The doctor's body was riddled with bullets and he died almost iririlantly.

Two AHHHHSIIIH Killed.

A number of villagers pursued the assassins, who had taken to Might, and finally brought them to bay. The assassins made a desperate tight against arrest, Some of the villagers were armed, and after they had been repeatedly tired upon, tiie.v returned the shots, killing two of the men.

Fought Dt'Mpemtely.

'Vho place in which the assassins had sought refuge from their pursuers was in a locality from which escape by retreating was not possible and the remaining two murderers determined to sell their lives as dearly as possible. Tliey refused to heed the demands made upon them to .surrender, aud,undeterred by the fate of their comrades, they continued firing upon their would-be captors. Finally, they exhausted all their cartridges except two. one ill each of their revolvers.

Itlew Out Their Own lli-aiim. The attacking party, none of whom had been injured, surmised that the assassins' supply of ammunition had run out. and they made a rmh to capture the two men. The latter saw them coming, and. preferring death to capture. I.hcy placed their revolvers to their heads and blew uut their brains. The bodies were searched, and 011 each of them was found a red ticket on which was printed the words: j'lCxeeutive Committee of tlie Polish Anarchists." (o-cut I itr.IKrsixl 11on.

Dr. I'oninsky. without doubt, had by his utterances or actions incurred the enmity of the anarchists, and the four men were unquestionably appointed by the central anarchist, body to murder him. The affair lias caused the deepest indignation wherever the details are known, and the most, strenuous efforts will be made to search out and punish the conspirators.

MANY' CATTLE PERISHED.

Serious I.on.ea Durlnsr tho Iteeeul in tlio Grazing Country. OMAHA. Neb., April 9. —Delayed dispatches. letters and travelers coming in from the cattle districts bring new? of heavy losses to herds from tinrecent blizzard, which is declared the worst on the ranges since that which crippled the owners ol herds in the Niobrara valley ton year ago. Along the main line of the 1'nion Pacific carcasses of animals call be seen from the train. The cattle hunted in vain in the snow for feed for several days, kept drifting before the winds and finally "got down." When the hay which was carted from the ranches for their relief reached them they were too weak to eat and perished. On the North Platte some distance west of North I'lnttv*and cast ol the Wyoming line 1.000 cattle drifted before the fctwin. plunged into the river and were drowned. Tlicy belonged to various herds. From the northern part of the slate reports come of yearlings frozen in tli stock yards and also in cars, when they had been put with the idea that they could be kept warmer than in tho pens. The opinion of railway people and cattlemen is that the returns will show that several thousand head, principally cows and young calves, have perished in the blizzards in Nebraska. 1'cw cattle-owners in the state have neglected to lay up a quantity of hay, but the storm lasted so long that many cattle drifted out of reach. 30,000 Darrein of flour Per Day.
