Yesterday Pretty Boy mede a mur derous attack upon his squaw. helz ing a stick of firewood be dealt the helpless creature a blow on the head whic. cut a deep aab in the scalp and fractured her skull. Not satisfied with this, he jumped upon the pros trate body of the eqjaw and made preparations to scalp her. By this time a crowd of nearly a hundred In diana had gathered around the couple. In the crowd aere a number of In dian police who rushed upon Pretty Boy and dragged him from the body of the 'quaw. This so enraged Pretty Boy that, shaking off his captors, be ran to his teepee and secured a Win chester rifle. He at once opened fire on the police, ilnetantly killing two of them, and fatally wounding a thied. He then proceeded to wher- his squaw was lying, and, placing the muzzle of the rifle between her lips, fired font shots. This done, he attempted to ef feet his escape, firing repeatedly at the Indano*, who were in pursuit of him. Findilg escape imposcible. he halted on the brow of a hill about a mile from the agency, and, after aer ering the arteries in his wrist with his hunting knife, shbot himself through the heart, death resulting instantan eously.

A negro desperado had some wo, d with a prominent farmer and amault ed him with a deadly weapon and then fled. The farmer's triends or ganized a posse and started out no arrest the negro but a counter party war formed by the negroes under the leadership of two renegade white men, who, by the way, will be lynched when identified. In a battle that er surd four or live white men were killed or mortally wounded and the negroes -apled to the woods. It iN impoesible to fiud any negroes within five miles of the scene of the trouble, White people from adjoining town: poured into Wahalla all day and joined n the searob, but a none of the negroes except Maury Is known they accomplimhed noth ing.

WABHINGTON, Dec. 17.--Comm'r Stockslager, of the veneral land omice, has just finished the distribution o' the money aspropriated last year for the public surveys. One hundre thousand dollars went into the apprn priation bills for this purpnos at the last session of congress, $20,000 of which was to be used for the ezamin* ination of surveys in the field. This leaves $80,000 for surveytlg, and the commqissioner has made awards cover ion $70,(00I of it. Of this sum Mon tana gete $9,000. The surveyor e no eral of Montana desires a great deal of the money for the survey of 17.5(0,(001 acres recently thrown open to settle mnent In northern Montana. Delerate T'oote ha. drawn the attention of th. commissioner to the feect that whenr the sundry civil bill wu under con sidueratln last ession Mr. Ktndall drew the attention of the h, use to the fr.et that the commit tee's amuount for surveys had been doubled in order that the great northern reservation of Montana might he purveyed, and in. sisted that Montana should be awarded a liberal slice of the applropriaiou. It is possible that Montana may get an additional amount. Eprlnlgr' s 'timatum, According to an interview had by the Washingtoo correspondent of the Omanha Bee with Mr. Springer, chair man of the house committee ,on terri tories, that gentleman appears still disposed to adhere to his territorial omnibus bill. which proposes the ad mission of New Mexico. Tbe Illinois congressman made It plain that hi. motive was chieflv partisan. The re publicans he remarked, "must take us for greater fools than we are if they think that we will consent to the ad mersion of four republican territories and a ref.sal to admit one democratic territorv." His assertion that New esico has uu many claims for ad mission a a state as Dakota, or Wash ington. or Montana, Mr. Springer nm.a.t know au well as anybody, in nol ,ul,..,teld by the fants.

Yet be may exert a mumecient influence to defeat all attempts to legislate for the adedissloo of soy of the territories at the present session.

That is a frgment o a pieee of cloth woven in France, I don't know how long ago. There was a time when it was thought that the making of asbestus cloth would be come an important industry, but as many difficulties were encountered by those who experimented with the stuk that very little was ever made, and such cloth is now a rare curiosity. The ancients wove this curious mineral sulitaleo into fabrics which were used to wrap the bodiesof mummies. "The name is applied to particular forms of various minerals. especialy to certain varieties of hornblende am pyroxene. The word is Greek, and means a substance indestructible by fire. It can he fused, however, but not readily. The fibrous varieties of asbestus are readily picked to pieces with the fingers and look very much like flax. There are various colors, some slpecirnens being white, some blue, others gray and brown. Ther is a variety known as mountain cork, which is found in thin sheets and so light that it will float on water As bestus is found abundantly in the mounltains of Italy and Switzerland and in .evernl states of this country.
