Arch Wick, aged nineteen, Monday night. Th evidence at the coroner's inquest showed that Grnbb had been in town all day drinking, and on going home abused his wife shamefully. He tried to make her hand him a loaded shotgun with which ho declared his intention of killing her, and upon her refusal chased her from the house, pursuing her with an open knife. Her screams attracted her son. who was some distance away. He grabbed a shotgun and ran to the spot, and just as Grubb was in the act of stabbing her tired, the charge taking the top of Grubb's head otx.

Kansas City, Oct. 23. The last State Legislature enacted a law providing for tho taxation of all express companies doing business in the State over rented or leased lines, the tax being 2 on every 8100 received or charged for carrying freight within the State. The law provided for nn annual report from the companies to the State Auditor for each year's business. East June Auditor Libert attempted to enforce tho law. Tho Pacific Express Company resisted, claiming that the law was discriminative in its operations in favor of railroad companies, of eat press cou-panies owning their own liue and of steamboat lines. The claim was also set up that the law was not valid because it laid a tax on interstate commerce. The company obtained a temporary injunction restraining the Auditor from enforcing tho law. To-day Judges Phillips and Caldwell, of the United States Circuit Court, dissolved the injunction and declared the law Yalid. On Their Way Hack to Prison. CHICAGO, Oct. 22.

They are the pair arrested in Chicago a weekajzo, after a period of liberty succeediugadaringescapo from the California State prison at San Quentin. Shinn took his return coolly, but Thome, who is under sentence for life, seemed broken hearted. Thome earnestly protested that since his escape he has lived honestly, and would have continued to do so. American Institute of Architects. Washington, Oct. 22.

BLOODY. FIGHT WITH ETE3.

Horse-Herders Ambushed in a Mountain Defile Sadden Swoop and Determined Battle. Kansas City Star. One dark night, now some twenty-three years ago, I was camped with a party of famous frontiersmen near the summit of one of the highest peaks of the Raton range, in New Mexico. Among them were Lucien B. Maxwell, Kit Carson and Jack Henderson. We had no blankets with us in fact, were caught up above the clonus against our will, having lingered too long in tho mountains. Night overtook us before we were ready to descend into the valley below. When we were ready we found that it would be dangerous to undertake tho trip over such a precipitous and rocky trail in the night, so we were compelled to make the best of our situation: It was awfully cold, and as we could not sleep without our fire going out, for then we should freeze, we concluded to 'make a night of it" by telling yarns and smoking our piper. As we sat there hug ging the llames, thoy cast weirdanaiancnui shadows on the sides of the mountains, contrasting curiously with the inky blackness all around below us, while far above our heads could be distinguished the dim outline of 44OJd Iialdy," a famous peak of the range, whose scarred and weather-beaten crest seemed to touch the star-lit sky. Maxwell, happening to point towards the region of the Spanish peaks, whose snow-white tops cast a sort of diffused light in that region of the heavens, remarked at the same moment that in the deep canyon which rests botween them he had one of the closest calls of bis life. Anxious to hearhis story, ho willingly compiled when wo asked him to relate it. it was in 1847, and he hfcd crone from Taos with a party of men down to thoKioGraude to pick up a large herd of horses for the United States government. Ho succeeded in gathering about a hundred and started back with them, grazing slowly along, as he was in no particular hurry. When tho party reached the foot-hills of the mountains it suddenly came upon the tmil of ft largo war baud of Utes, none of whom they saw, but from subsequent developments the savages must have discovered tho white men. Maxwell and his men not being strong enough to cop with the whole Ute nation, wisely concluded that the best thing for them to do under the ticklish circumstances was to make a detour to tho East, and try to get into Taos from that direction; so they started down the Arkansas river, goiug more than a hundred and fifty miles out of their originally proposed route, it appears that tho Utes had been following tbem all tho way; borne of tho men believed them to have been another party, and not the first whoso trail they came upon when they turned down the river, but Maxwell always insisted they were the same, and his jndgment was more worthy of consideration than that of the other men with him; at any rate, when Maxwell arrived within a tew days drive of Ta9 his party wasambusbod in the fastnesses of the rauge, and they had one of the most bloody encounters with the Utes on record. Maxwell had twelve or thirteen men under him and two little children ho was Escorting to some friends at Taos, having received them on the Kio Grande. While the whole "outfit" were quietly taking their morulcg meal, preparatory to "pulling out" for the day's march, unsuspicious of the proximity of any of the savages, a war party dashed in upon them and in less than a minute had succeeded in stampeding all the animals, the loose stock as well as the horses the men were riding. By no means all of the Indians w'ere engaged in running off the horses; while some were thus employed, about fifty splendidly mounted and painted warriors rushed in on the camp-tire around which .the men and little children were sitting, and firing as they rode up, killed one of the men and wounded another. Terribly surprised as they were, it did not turn the heads of the old nlountaineers, Maxwell immediately telling his men to "get" for a clump of timber near by, where he told them they would fight as long as one of them could stand up. The bravo mountaineers fought, and fouaht atrainst terrible odds, nntil onlv two of tli em wero whole, all the remainder' having been severely wounded. I he little children wero captured by the savages, and carried oil. But the Indians got tired of the fight and left them of their own free-will, as they frequently do when getting the worst of a bad bargain. But the Indians left Maxwell's party in a terrible plight; they were sore from their many wounds, dn foot, and had no food and no ammunition to procure game, having exhausted it in their awfully unequal battle; besides, they were miles away from home, with every prospect before them of starving to death. They could not remain where they were, so as soon as darkness came on they started out to walk to some white settlement. They dared not show themselves by daylight, and all through the long hours they were obliged to hide in the brush and ravines until night overtook them again, when they started out once more on their painful march. They had absolutely nothing to eat and their wounds beginning to fester their march was slow and torturing. They would all have undoubtedly perished by the wayside if it had not been that some friendly Indians of another tribe, knowing of their fight with the Utes and their condition, reported it to the commander of the troops at Taos, who immediately sent a company of dragoons to their rescue. Tho soldiers, under the guide of the celebrated Dick Wootton. who was a warm personal friend of Maxwell, found tho party about forty miles out from Taos, but so emaciated and starved that they had given up all hope of escaping the fate which seemed in store for them. When found, they had only a few rags on their bodies, their clothes having been completely stripped from them whilo struggling through the heavy underbrush, and they wero so far gone that they could not stand on their feat. Another two days. Maxwell said, would have 4laid them out." The little children were, fortunately, saved from the terrors of that terrible march after the fight, havingbeen captured by the Utes and carried to their winter camp, where, if not absolutely happy, they were housed and fed, escaping the starvation which would certainly have been their fate if they had remained with the party. They were eventually ransomed for a cash Eayment, and had not been treated very arshly. WHAT CE'. LOGAN REALLY DID. Another Version of the Soldier's Part in the ISattle of Is ash ville. Chicago Tribune. A Pittsburg paper is credited with giving a now version of the part General Logan played in the engagement between the armies of Thomas and Hood. General Butler is said to have stated that "General Logan saw General Thomas, saw his principal officers and his army, saw the situations and preparations for operation. Thomas had not moved and was not ready to move. Logan's orders were positive; he was to relieve Thomas unless the latter had moved. But from his observation, and from what be was told. Logan concluded that Thomas was doing the best ho could, and as well as anybody could do to prepare to attack Hood. He believed that it would be unjust to remove Thomas just as ho was prepared1 to act. Had he been removed then tho new commander could have been ready to move in a day or two, and the movement would probably be victorious. To a man ambitious as Logan is said to have been the temptation to act upon his orders must have been great.'7 The Tribune, having learned that Dr. J. R. Gore, of this city, had served under Logau as surgeon, and had held confidential audintimate relations with him during the war. and wishing to publish all the facts about the matter in which both the principals are dead, requested the Doctor to relato his recollections of the circumstances. Dr. Gore was surgeon on the staff of the Second Brigado, Second Division, Fifteenth Army Corps, which was commanded by General Logan. The Doctor went into the army from Chicago, and on his return continued his practice of medicine in this city. . 4There was not a friendly feeling," said the Doctor last night, "between the officers of tho Cumberland and the Army ot tho Tennessee. There was a jealousy betwixt tbem a jealousy that ran generally through the two armies and was caused by rivalry. "To begin wi th. the hospitals of the Army of the Tennessee wero left at Chattanooga, and wound up Jan. 1, 1SG4. The Army of the Tennessee the month before had left Chattanooga and moved about fifty miles west to Larkinsville and camped for the winter, leaving tko hospitals at Chatta-

nooga, with directions to get supplies from the headquarters of the Army of the Cumberland, located at Chattauooga. 44I do not wish to say that they utterly refused to give us supplies, but they were extremely reluctant and said that we had no right to call on them for supplies.

Ibis 1 mention as one incident Showing thelack of harmony and friendship between tbe two sections. Sherman was in com mand of all the forces of ths Union army at Atlanta. It was on buerman's orders that Thomas, with his army, went north to intercept HoQ. When Sherman was about to remove from Atlanta feouth with his army I was sent to Nashville as vC surgeon, accompanying the remnant of sick and wounded of Sherman's array ofthe Tennessee in the hospitals near Atlanta. On arriving at Nashville I met General Logan, who had just arrived from Washington on a secret mission. General Logan detained me at Nashville for three days, saying that he might possibly need my services there. 44At that time be told me be was waiting to 6ee what Thomas would do. He had orders to take charge of the Arm v of the Cumberland and attack Hood, lie felt disinclined to do so because the officers of that army whom he would have to depond on. having none of his own might be unfaithful to him and he would be defeated in tho tight. "Another fact I wish to point out," continued Dr. Gore. "Thomas's men took great pride in their commander. Besides this jealous feeling that would have been stirred up if Logan took charge, they would also have considered it a reflection on Thomas's efficiency. "For these reasons General Logan decided to wait until the last possible moment before he would undertake the enterprise and obey the orders he had. He afterwards told me that Thomas had attacked tho enemy and that there would be no necessity for him to interfere in the matter. It afterwards turned out as General Logan had hoped it would. "General Logan also said that he feared that if he assumed command Gen. Thomas's officers would, actually try to manage things so that he would meet with defeat." THE CHAKGES AGAINST RAUM Editor John IL Oberly Comes to the Defense' of the Commissioner Against Cooper. Washington Critlo (Dem.) A correspondent, writing anonymously, says to us: "It would be interesting to a great many Democratic readers of your paper to be informed why you think it incumbent on yourself to rush to the defense of Green B. Raum, the partisan Commissioner of Pensions. During his incumbency of the Pension Office he has allowed no Democrat to hold any office of the slightest importance, and has discharged many a poor fellow for no other reason than that he was -a Democrat. He has been a servile tool of his master, the President. I have heard much wonder expressed at the course you have taken." In tho start we admit that Green B. Raum is a bitter partisan Republican; that, as Commissioner of Pensions he has been intolerant in partisan action; that he has, discharged employes of the Pension liureau becausejof thoir devotion to the Democratic party; that he has been and is subservient to the President. j We will go further. We have known General Raum nearly a quarter of a century. During seventeen years we lived in the same congressional district with him, and in many a hardfought political campaign have had many a stubborn bout with him. In politics we have never agreed with him have always opposed him from A to Z, and on many an occasion have been round in our denunciation of his political principles and of his partisan methods. Indeed, we hold him in our estimation as one of the most objectionable of tho Republican leaders as a thick-and-thin partisan, who considers it his duty not to reason why and not to make reply, but to do, vigorously and promptly, whatever his party may require of him, on the theory of the immoral Ingalls, that the worst thing that can be done by the Republican p irty at its worst, is a much bptter thing tha l the best thing that can be done by the Democratic party at its best. But must we therefore add our voice to every hue and cry that is raised against this man? Must we, because we condemn him us a thick-and-thin politician, act the part such a politician whenever his othcial or personal conduct is brought into question, and condemn him him right or wrong' in such a narrow path we nave never walked, and never will. So when it became apparent to us that the Cooper charges against Raum had no foundation of fact we said so. That was all. And we believe that every fair- . minded man who gave attention to the tes timony in this investigation will agree with us in this conclusion that the charges have not been sustained. And the truth is, there is something naus eating in congressional investigations of this kind. 1 hey are not entered upon in the publio interest, but for the purpose of gratifying personal pique, of subserving partisan ends, or of accomplishing some business ends for revenge, partisanship or money. Ihey drag their slow lengths along and result in no good. Such investigations do not Investigate. But they furnish to malice opportunity to blacken pri vate character, at in this instance was done in the inuendoes and side remarks that by inference and directly charged General Kaum with dishonesty m his business relations as well as unfaithfulness in the discharge of official duty. We had observed General Raum in pri vate life, and had heard no reproach of him. We had observed him as the principal figure in business transactions -involv ing hundreds of thousands of dollars, and had never heard his honesty ouestionod. We had observed him in the performance of professional duty, and had never heard of even a suspicion of his integrity. We had observed him as a public officer as a mem ber of Congress and as a Commissioner of Internal Kevenue in an era of corruption as flagrant as it was wide-spread and bad heard no charge against his honor. And. therefore, when we learned of the charges made against him by Congressman Cooper we were interested, and closely followed the investigation that resulted, anxious to learn if Raum. also, bad ioined the ignoble ! armv of the rascals of tbe world.- That we r .U" J A t A. 1 1 J A. were grauueu 10 leara.iuav uo aau not that the charges agaiust him were foundationless we admit; and it gave us pleasure to say so. Why does this man stare so ? Ho is eimply listening to the marvelous cures effected by Dr. Pierce s Golden Medical Discovery. Tho following case illustrates: February 14th, 1330. WonLD's Dispensary Medical Associa tion. Buffalo, N. i.: Gentlemen A remarkable case has occurred in our territory. J. N. Bern, a man about thirty years of age, was going down itpidly. He tned physician alter pnysician. patenc medicines, home receipts In fact, everything. He went to a noted sanitarium and returned no better. We all thought he as dying- with consumption, and only a few weeks of fife were left for him. He commenced "Golden Medical Discovery," and at the same time commenced to mend. He has used about two dozen bottles, r.nd is still using it. Ho has gained in weight, color and strength, and is able to do light work. It Is just such a case as we should have listened to rather suspiciously, but when we see it we mut believo it. It has trebled our sales of 44 Golden Medical Discovery. JOHN HACKETT & SON, Druggists, Roanoke, Ind, In all bronchial, throat and lung affections, lingering coughs, spitting of blood, weak lungs and kindred ailments, the " Discovery " effects the most marvelous cures.
