About 900 Cree Indians are in revolt in the Northwest Territory. They have captured the Government supply of provisions, and are munching defiantly. It is believed that the three bodies of colored people—Beverly Taylor, his wife, and granddaughter —of Avondale, Ohio, fouiftl in a medical college at Cincinnati, were murdered for the dissecting-table, and that their house had been fired with the intention of concealing the crime. The detectives of Chicago, after many days of investigation, arrested Nell McKaigue ’on suspicion of murdering Mr and Mrs. Willson, the aged couple who were so horribly butchered in tbelr home ac Winnetka, a suburb of Chicago. McKaigue is the proprietor of a meht shop. When the crime was discovered he told a story about Mr. Willson coming to his shop the evening of the murder and telling him (McKaigue) that he wanted an extra fine steak and chops for supper and breakfast, as he was expecting an all-night guest. Suspicion almost from the first has rested upon this butcher as the real'author of the foul deed. > John Heith, of Tombstone, Arizona, who was sentenced to imprisonment for life for complicity in a murder, was hanged to a telegraph pole by 100 citizens. All he asked Of his executioners was that they should not mutilate his body by shooting holes in it. At the comer of [Randolph street and Fifth avenue, Chicago, at 7i30 o’clock in the evening, a young mechanic, with *2lO in his pocket, entered a street car while the horses were being changed. Four thugs followed him inside, and two guarded the doors while their accomplices knocked the young man senseless, took his funds, and escaped. The Union Hall Block and five frame buildings at Jackson, Mich., were destroyed by lire. One corpse was taken from the ruins, and four persons were fatally injured. The loss is estimated at *176,000.
