BATTLING WITH INDIANS. A MANIAC'S WORK. Thousands of workmen in Vienna THE WEST. KANSAS STATE NEWS. THE MANHATTAN REPUBLIC I I -ft Cowboys and Renegade Indians Reported to Be Fightinc in New Mexico.
Albuquerque, N. M. Feb. 16. A hot fight is raging between cowboys and renegade Navajo Indians near Cool-idge station, on the Atlantic Pacific railroad, and dispatches from there say that the Indians have been noticed carrying three of their dead from the field of battle.
The fighting is said to be most desperate, and the cowboys, who are greatly outnumbered, are contesting every inch of ground. The fight is in progress near Codding-ton's ranch, which is not a great distance from Coolidge. Both sides are in the timber, shooting at each other from behind trees. J. M.
Dennis, a sawmill man at Coolidge, who is here, received last night a dispatch from his manager, A. E. Batchelder, that Navajo Indians were congregating in great squads of from twenty-five to fifty at the small towns on the Atlantic Sc. Pacific with the intention of cleaning out the cowboys along the road. At Chaves station seventy-tire Indians are holding a pow-wow.
They have on their war paint and are heavily armed. The people are in great excitement Two women have thei trunks packed ready to leave, while the cowboys are taking all the arms they can get and propose to stand their ground. Mrs. C. Jenkins, wife of the manager of an eating house at Coolidge, with her two children, was the first to reach the city, and she says that when she left the Indians and cowboys were massing their forces for an engagement and that the whole population of Coolidire and vicinity was up in arms i and ready for the conflict Yesterday a number of cowboys from several of the ranges assembled at Coolidge and defied the Indians then in town to be- gin carrying into execution their threats.
The Indians left on horseback and went in the direction of Cod-dington's ranch. An hour later a run ner came into Coolidge at break-neck speed and reported that an engagement was then in progress at the ranch bet ween the Indians and cowboys there and that if the latter were not soon reinforced the Indians would annihilate them. Those in Coolidge then left to join their associates, but the actual result of the fight has not been received. SPREADING THE DISEASE. Nine lisesed Italians Discovered in Chi- I c.b That Been Landed From an I Infected Vessel in New York.
Chicago, Feb. 16. A veritable pest house was discovered Sunday night by Officers Winnehold and McGuire, of the Morrison street station, who suc- ceeded in running clown seven of the nine Italians who arrived on the typhus fever infected steamer, Missalua. from Palermo, reaching New York January 30. The unfortunate Italians were discovered in a crowded tenement house at Eightv-first and Lyons streets, close besides the Western Indiana railroa i tracks, and only a stone's throw from i the thickly settled district around tne Webster and Abbott carriage factories, in Auburn park.
At this point is a maccaroni factory, which has been a bone of legal and social contention for a number of years. Efforts looking to its removal have been fruitless, however, and the factory remains a harboring place for hundreds of Italians who yearly arrive aad stay there until they find employment elsewhere. Around the place are a number of cottages, which have been erected since public opinion forced the proprietors to cease using the factory as a lodging house at nigat It was in one of these cottages, crowded int a single room, that the officers yesterday found Dominico Gabamori, his wife and five children all infected with disease and spreading the contagion about them. None appeared to be seriously ill and the officers allowed them to remain until the health department can be notified this morning. The other passengers on the infected steamer are known to be in Chicago and are supposed to have located on Milwaukee avenue, though no trace of them can be found.
DYING TOGETHER. A Young Ftrmer and His Wife Found With Their Throats Cut. Gallatin, Feb. 16. Near Portland, a small town near the Kentucky line, Elvis Pardue, a well known young farmer, and his wife were found in their home this morning dead on the floor of their bed chamber with their throats cut from ear to ear.
The circ*mstances are such as to create the belief that the deaths were ie result of deliberately planned suicide, though the reports that have reachec this place are rather meager and unsat isf actorv as to particulars. Both bodies were lying on pillows oa the floor, and near Mrs. Pardue was a bloody razor. The fact that the razor lay nearest Mrs. Pardue has led to the conjecture that she was the last to use the instrument of death.
In fact this theory is supported by a note which is said to have been found in the room written in Mrs. Pardue's hand and signed by her, in which it was stated that she and her husband had no friends, and as he had concluded to commit suicide she would take her own life rather than live without him. The couple had been married only a year. They appeared to live happily and no cause can be divined for the melancholia that led them to so desperate a determination. A "ew $10 i ounterfeit.
Louisville, Feb. IS. A new counterfeit bill of the denomination of S10 has sprung into circulation, and Government Detective M. G. Bauer is making an effort to chase the counterfeiters down.

The Mississippi Insane Asylum Destroyed By Fire. The Only Life Lost Was That of the Lunatic Incendiary Informers in Iowa Badly Beaten. Jackson, Feb. 17. The four-story main building of the state insane asylum was set on fire about 5 o'clock yesterday morning by J.
D. Brown, an inmate who had recently escaped and only returned Monday, when he" stated to his attendants that it would be all the worse for him and them if he was again confined. His threat was soon put into execution, and he himself was unable to escape and was burned to death. There were 600 inmates, most of whom were asleep, but through the almost superhuman exertions of the superintendent Dr. Mitchell, and his subordinates all were safely transferred to the wings.
When the last one was safe Dr. Mitchell, who was just up from a sick bed, staggered and fell unconscious and was conveyed to his residence. Assistant Noland Stewart also succumbed. Firemen Oden Neal held his post with a hose until his shoes and clothing took fire, when he escaped through a window and took refuge a pond. The work of the volunteer fire department was splendid.
The building was of brick, with 500 feet frontage extending from east to west It is situated about two miles from the city proper, and the flames had gained fearful headway before the fire department arrived. Nevertheless much of the loss could have been prevented had not the pressure from the waterworks been too light. The building was about two-thirds destroyed, entailing a loss to the state of probably 5200,000, on which there was no insurance.

ine snow nas wcu frozen into a compact mass and traffic is thereby greatly impeded. In the English channel a gale is blowing with great violence. A large number of vessels, fearing that they might not be able to withstand the fury of the storm, or that they might lose their bearings and go ashore in the blinding snowstorm, made for the mouth of the Thames for shelter. Once there, sails were furled and anchors dropped and they are riding on long cables, waiting for the gale to blow itself out The mail service between England and the continent is greatly delayed by the storm, the air is so thick with snow that it is scarcely possible to see a boat's length away, and a tremendous sea is sweeping up the channel. The captains of the packets will not venture out until the storm abates.
A schooner went ashore last night at Southwold. Suffolkshire, in the North sea. The rocket service was brought into play and after several attempts a line was shot across the wreck.
