City of Mexico, Dec. 7 Tbe latest
reports from tbe Guatemalan - frontier
state a Mexican colonel, member of the
staff of General Lullane, has been assas
sinated by Guatemalans, and from unof
ficial sources it is learned a company of
170 Mexicans had a skirmish with 400
Guatemalan guerrillas, in which two
Mexican soldiers were killed. This par
ticulsr body of mounted Guatemalans
are reported still hovering about tbe vi
cinity of the Mexican troops, but it is
believed, after making tbe attack, tbey
retired to tbe Guatemalan side of tbe in
ternational line . Should official in
formation confirm these reports it is
highly probable tbe Mexican government
will at once demand reparation in a sat
isfactory manner for tbe outrages.

The Ex-Warden of the Htate Penitec
liary at Walla Walla Taken Ills
Own E. re us Have Himself
Erom Uissr-en.
Walla Walla, Wash., Dec. 8 Tbe
entire community was thrown into a fever
of excitement about 6 o'clock tonight,
when rumors were afloat that J H Cob-
lentz, ex-warden of tbe penitentiary, bad
ended his Ufa rather than face tbe bu
miliatiun of answering to tbe charge ol
ibelt of tbe state's property. He reached
tbe city at 3 o'clock, and met lbe gov
ernor aod directors, who confronted hjm
with accusations tbat be failed to answer
It is understood tbat tbe governor re
proached him for bis ai tions. After tbe
meeting, be seemed creat fallen and was
not in bis usual mood. Tears could be
seen and bis general actions proved that
be appreciated bis posttion. He thought
of tbe wife and four children who would
suffer tbe disgrace. His wife was un
doubtedly suspicious and watched him
She, too, realized the disgrace tbat was to
be heaped upon tbe family. Coblenlz
had .ent to tbe Dank for $1000 casb, wbicb
Convict Chandler brought bim, and be
(Coblentz) handed it to his wife, asking
tbat .be take it, and, with tbe children,
go to their old borne In Arkansas. He
said tbere would undoubtedly be trouble;
tbat be would be disgraced, and tbat it
would be best tbat they should be away.
It looks as though be premeditated his
awful deed. It was. a complete surprise.
lor not a person bere thought be was tbe
man to carry ont such a deed. Wben
Deputy Sheriff Elliogswortb called at tbe
penitentiary and asked for Mr. oCblentz,
toe ex warden, wno was amiDg, was no
tified by one of tbe guard?,. Coblentz
came into tbe off ce, wbicb is part of tbe
warden s dwclhug, where be found tbe of
fleer. He said to bim:
'Helin, Eilingswortb, bave you a war
rant for met"
"Ye., Mr. Coblentz, I bave."
"How much are tbe bonds?"
Fiye thousand dollars."
"Well, I don't know. Bill, whether I
bave a friend In Walla Walla or not."
'You bave mote friend, than you think
you have."
"Well, can I bave about 15 minutes to
finish my sopperf
Certainly, take all tbe time you wish,
Mr. Coblentz."
At that Coblen'z retired and passed
through a double door, closing it, and at
that instant a pistol shot was beard
Mr. Ellingswortb and Cnarles Berg, who
were tbe only persons present, rusbed in
io find Coblentz dead. Tbe gun was
44 caliber Smith & Wesson. Tbe ball
entered just behind the right ear, came
out of tbe left temple and struck tbe ceil
ins and fell on tbe floor. Tbey immedi
ately gave tbe alarm, and summoned tbe
oroper authorities. iJoroner Stewart held
an inquet over the remains. In tbe tes
timony, Ricbard Lee stated tbat be was
visiting Coblenlz and family. Coblentz
asked bim to take a walk over to tbe
prison. Lee waited outside wbile Cob
lentz talked with Acting Warden Cam
e'on Cameron says Coblen'Z bid bim
good-bye and left. Upon returning to
tbe dwelling, Coblentz refused to dine
with bis family, saying tbat be did not
feel like it. It was about this time tbat
tbe sheriff called. Tbe family of Cob
lentz is prostrated.

Tbe Chienjro Crime.
Chicago, Dae 7a-Jobn B Kersey today
confessed that be with Eiward Jordan,
murdered A D Barnes, whose mutilated
body wag found in a shipping case yes
terday. IlMb Kersey and Jordan are
under arrest. Tbey were employed by
Barnes, and tbe motive for the crime is
thought to have been rivalry between
Jordan and Barnes for the chief janitor-
hip of tbe Hiawatba building, wbicb po
sltion tbe mudered man held, Jordan be
ing first assistant. Jordan bas exhibited
remarkable coolness throughout, having
been the first to identity tbe body.
Kersey said Jordan on the afteruoon of
the murder gave bim some money and
told bim to get a few driiiks and be back
to work at 8 o'clock that night.' When
he reappeared Jordan asked him to carrv
out tbe shipping case, and in to oomg
ome blood from the box ran out on Ker
sey', sleeve. He asked Jordan what tb.t
meant and tbe latter told him there was a
dead man in tbe box, and be bad better
keep quiet. He was badly scared. . He
kept silent until tbe terrors ot the "sweat
tox" wrung tbe story from bim.

Nes Faroe Indians-
One of the most powerful tribe of Indians
the northwest was formerly the Net
Perce, of Northern Idaho. Tbey were well
developed physically, and very intelligent.
Several of their chiefs were educated and
had adopted the customs of the white. Io
1878. after bein driven from the Wallowa
valley, ooder Joseph, tbeir war chief, they
inaugurated hostilities against the whites,
and tbe battle, ot White Bird and others
fought id the neighborhood ef Lewi.ton are
still fresh in the minds of the people. Tbe
troops under General O. O. Howard fol
lowed them through tbe Bitter Riot valley,
and finally overtook and defeated them
Joseph and a few of hi. braves were sent
to the Indian territory, and since that time
th. numbers bays materially deoreased.
The last report of Ctptato J. Robinson,
agent for the Ner Perce, shows tbat the
present number of Indians, is 1803. Tbis
year 350 cultivated 10.000 acres of .wheat,
1000 acres of flax, 1000 aores of oats, and
500 acres of barley, besides corn, potatoes,
fruit, etc Tbe Iudiana also own consid
erable herds of horses and cattle, and are
altogether contented and prosperous. The
tint payment on their lands will give each
one of them about $400 in cash, which will
amount to from $1200 to $2000 to every
head of a family, aod in some eases where
multiplication has proceeded diligently, to
several thousand dollar.

Terrible rate of a Yomns; Man.
A La Grande di.patoh dated Deo. 10th

auioide of Oliver Hearing:
V.T 1 . . n
ixews n.s just reached 1st Urand. of a
trange happening in tb. mountain abmt
nine mile north of Summervilla. Last July
a yonng man named Oliver Hearing, left
home near Elgin, taking a horse, rifl. aod
other personal belonging, and started for
tb mountains. Shortly afterward his hone
returned riderles. Tbia was not considered
trange, at hia brothers supposed be had
fonod employm.ot somewhere and bad
turned loose hi bom so tbat it might com.
home. lime past and nothing wa beard
of the absent man, inquiry started on foot
by friend and relative proving of no avail.
A few days ago a party of Looters ran
across HMriog's bat, axe, e artridg poach,
rifis barrel, etc Bot oould find no alga of
bis remains. They returned to Elgin and
reported the discovery. A Marching party
was immediately organised at E'gin, and
the scene thoroughly explored, The result
solved the mystery. Hearing bad eat down
rome trees, eat eff a big fallen log of pitch,
nd built a tremendous fire. He then, it is
.apposed, abot himself and fell over into the
fire, baviog had the deliberate pnrpoae ef
destroying every vnatipe ot hi remain.
He nearly inoceeded. A few charred bones.
eaoogh to half (ill a hat, and aoms remnant
of elothiog were all tbat were found in the
fire, which covered a apao of six by tea
feet in dimension and had burned into the
ground. Hearing wa2s year old, although
he looked much yoanger, and was a .trong
healthy man, standing ix feet two inohe
high. Hews a hunter and trapper by
profession and of a gloomy, taciturn disposi
tion, loving to hunt alone in the mountain.
The apot chosen for th. deed wa a desolate
one on a wooded ridge far from human lite.
Hearing lived a long time io Uoion county
and wa well known. Tb new hi. caused
t great seosstioo. No reason ean b as
signed for tbe terrible deed.
