. CRIMES ANT) CRIMINALS
Vigilantes Attack Outlaws in
Indian Territory.
SEVERAL KILLED ON BOTH SIDES
l.mi.E Bocr, Ark., October 21.—A special
to the Arkansas Gazette froinWawolla, Indian
Tcrntoty, via Muscogee, this eveningsays: On
Thur lay a desperate fight took place on the
north f.-rk of the Arkansas river, between Bud
Trainer s gang of outlaws and a vigilance
committee under the leadership of
llnbert Henderson, a Scotch half-breed
which followed them from Dm k worth’s store,
in the Creek nation on the occasion of a raid
there on Wednesday. It appears the outlaws
fmdingout the size of the force which was fol
lowing them, dc< ided to risk an encounter
and made haste to reach the river banks,
when- they could find shelter behind the trees
and in the ravines which lino the banks on
either side. In this they succeeded, so
that when the vigilantes came up
they were entirely, for a time, al
th* mercy of two bcore of men who knew
not wha! m- rey was. Henderson then took
his men a short distance up the river, where a
fording place could be found, then crossed and
took up positions on the other side of the stream
from the outlaws and where his men were as
well prot< < ted as those of 'j’rainer s men. The
rivci ;J thL point is only about one hundred
f* ct wide, and across this distance,from Thurs
day morning until Thursday night, hul
lets were hinging on tin ir mission
of death. When the vigilantes had
• succeeded in obtaining this position, they found
i they ha«l lost three men ami two more were seri
ously wounded. As Trainer found the enemy
in his >< ar on the opposite side of the river, he
sent half his men down the stream to cross
I ami come up on the other side, lighting under
cover <»f th*; trees, iii this coup d’etat they
were siirpriseil by the avengers, who
met th* in half wav and opened fire
upon them, < hocking their course and
driving them panic stricken ami precipitately
back. In emlcavoring to rally Jiis men, Bill
( huclt wa; killed, and before the river could
be reached ami forded John Leech, one of the
robber gang, was shot off his horse, but not
killed. The fight from this on was continued
ai rcss the stream, thu banks of whi* h were
lined at distances of about five rods
apart with sharp shooters. No sooner was a
head, arm or any part of a body visible on
either side than a leaden bullet was seeking to
find a lodgment there. As Thursday night,
was coining on, Ili ndcrson < ailed his men in
for consultation, when it was found that of his
force, eight men were killed outright, and
eight others had received serious, though not
fatal wounds. The force was in this
way reduced one half, and it w’as
thought best to remove the wounded
here and go back home and stir un re-in force
nn nts. Thu dead were buriou, and the
wounded, it was found after drossing their
wounds, were able to return home with the
party. Il i. thought as many of the outlaws
w* ie kill* d as of the pursuing party, though
this will never bo known. Henderson says he
will collect a hundred men and f *!low thu rob
b* rs to hades if nocoessary; that lie will wipe
them out.
Henry Ayres, a well to do stock man, from
Cherokee Nation, who was one of the, party
w ith Henderson, says that Bn»l Travis was
killed during the light. He is of theopinion
that not les.'s.s than hfuen were killed outright
upon both sides, and thinks one-half the out
law s who were not killed were wounded. It
is by no means certain, that another party will
be organize,*l to hunt down thu outlaws, as it is
thought the severe h.s*n they have been
taught w ill tend to drive them from the terri
tory, or at least to put a quietus on their law
lessness.

'Die detectiv* s have made two more arn sts in

will be remembered that the story of the mur

with an ax, Annie Wright hit him with a
b.atcl:ct, and they threw him off thu porch on
the ground. Those, with the help of l.ulic

where found under the trestle. Today a bluo.ly
ax was found in the kitehen, ami in the place
where thu body was said by the child to have
hern thrown oil the porch tht*ro was blood.
There was also blood and a lork of gray hair
like Howard’s on a broken fence rail. Part of
the yard had eviihntly been cleaned with
I broom and water. From the broken fence rail
I to the spot w here the body was found ihero
I wi re evidences of tracks ami broken weeds,
making an indistinct path as if some heavy

A MOB ATTACKS A JAIL.
s
Indtanafot.h, October 22.—Early this
’ morning a mob of about two hundred men
, made an assault on the jail at Delhi, Carroll
> j county, the purpose being to secure the person
i j of Amos Green, who is charged with murder
ing Miss T. tella Mablett. Green |' al until
1 Wednesday been confim din prison at Michi
' gan City as a precaution against possible
' lynching, but on that day was brought to
i Delhi, where his trial was to be held. The
I sheriff did not anticipate any trouble and had
■ taken no precaution. When tlie assault was
' made lie had only one deputy to assist
’ him. The mob hammered into the wooden
door leading to the residence part of the jail
and twenty masked men, armed, rushed in
1 and demanded tlie keys of tlie jail proper.
Tliis was refused, when a man witii a sledge
I hammer and a cold chisel broke the locks and
' forced the doors. Green wrenched a piece of
#ater pipe and tried to defend himself, but
was quickly overpowered, taken from his cell,
■ placed in wagon and driven out of town in the
direction of Walnut Grove, seven miles east,
and not far from where themurdcred girl lived.
When Walnut Grove was reached Green was
; lynched.
Amos Green was one of the most desperate
criminals that ever afflicted Indiana. In Au
gust. 188 H, lie abducted and is supposed to have
murdered Luella Mabbott, a farmer’s daugh
ter. lie was captured in Texas last July,
with his brother, Bill Green, also a murderer,
and both taken to Michigan City for protec
tion from mob violence. Bill Green is now on
trial in Miami county and Amos’s case would
have come up here today on motion for a
change of venue.
A special from Delphi says that Amos Green
protested ids innocence of tlie crime charged
against him to tlie last. When tlie appointed
spot had been reached the leader of the mob
told Green that lie must either produce Luella
Mabbett oi-; die. He called for Mabbott, the
father of the missing girl, and standing face to
face with Idm, lie stated that Luella was alive
and living with a man named Samuel Payne
at Fort Worth, Texas. He was asked why he
had not produced her and said his lawyers had
advised fdm to the contrary. Convinced that he
was lying, a rope was stretched around Ids neck,
by tlie mob and he was drawn under a tree.
Green stood upon tlie scat as erect as a statue,
Ids hands pinioned and the rope so tightly
drawn, that he was almost choked. The
crowd was orderly as a sheriff's possee could
have been, had Amos Green been going to
his death in accordance with the mandates of
the law. Green’s body was not cut down till
the morning after it had been viewed by thou
sands.
The Experience of a Hungry Coon Who
Went Oyster Hunting at Cat Island.
New York, October 15.—Frank G. Whea
ton, who used to be a politician in New Or
leans, but is now a handler of all sorts of pat
ents in this city, tells the following story:
“We used to have some great oyster suppers
in New Orleans. The oysters when I was
there were so big that a dozen would dolor
supper for a half dozen men. Some of the
B: you Cook and Bayou Barrataria oysters were
ea foot long Os course they were too large to
eat raw. but. they made an excellent fry.
'The best oysters I ever ate came from the edge
of the Gulf of Mexico, in the Mississippi sound
and Lake I’ontchartrain before the Bonne
Carre crevasse sent tlie fresh water of tlie
Mississippi river out into the lake and de
stroyed the flavor of the bivalves. Do you
know that raccoons are exceedingly fond of
oysters? Well, they are. One moonlight
night I was standing on the gallery of the
lighthouse at Cat island, down near the gulf.
A party of us were on our way to Goose Point
to hunt brant and curlew, and, as we know
Sid Wilkinson, the lighthouse keeper, we
slopped, over at Cat island one evening. It
was a beautiful night, and though it was in
December, a man scarcely felt the need of an
overcoat. The tide was at ebb, and Cat
island spit loomed up in the moon
light like a long black strip of mud
running into the sound. This spit or promon
tory was a mass of oysters, which sputtered
and snapped as they took in the atmosphere
and lulu social converse with each other. You
could walk out a quarter of a mile over them
without getting your feet wet, and eat all you
wanted. That is, if you could open them, for
just as scon as the oyster would see you he'd
shut up Ids shell with a snap like the breaking
of a twig. It was like walking over dry brush,
the way those oysters would snap at the ap
proach of anyone.
“Cat island is full of coons,” continued Mr.
Wheaton, taking a fresh start. “How they
got there I don’t know, as the island is twelve
miles from the nearest point of the main land.
I reckon they voyaged on logs. Well, this
night, while we were standing on the gallery,
we saw about a dozen coons creep out of the
spit hunting for oysters. Ono old coon
sneaked up behind a big oyster that had his
shell wide open and stuck his paw in to get
the succulent bivalve. Quick as a flash the
oyster clapped down on him, and the coon
yelled. He'd been there before though, and
began to tug at the oyster to get him loose
from the mud and sand, but the ojster was
one of a cluster and was too deeply
imbedded to be moved. He hung to
the coon like grim death, and it
looked as if the coon would be kept a prisoner.
We were so interested in tlie struggle wo
stayed to watch it. The tide turned and at 4
o'clock in the morning all the other coons left
the beach, as the water was too high. It got
higher ami higher ; little waves were curling
over the spit, and it looked as if the coon would

Benjamin C. Cortelyou’s Tong-Enforced
Confinement.
New Brunswick, October 22.—Benjamin C
Cortelyou, who lives outside of this city, is a
wonderful example of human endurance.
Some thirty years ago, while employed on a
frame building, Mr. Cortelyou lost his balance
and fell to tbe ground. It was discovered that
his back was broken and that he received in
ternal injuries. Ife was conveyed to his
home and put to bed, and has ever
since been unable to leave it. For twenty
six years he has reposed on his right
side, from which position he has been unable
to move. He is in constant agony, and bis at
tendants rarely touch him, so acute is the pain.
For six years he has been unable to sit up in
bed, and just before lie was compelled to aban
don tbe effort his cries could be heard a long
way from the house. Hundreds of physicians
have visited the man, but not one lias been able
to afford him any relief. He has had over 200
attacks of erysipelas. Three thousand ounces
of laudanum and 200boxes of pills have been
given him to quiet the pain, but all to no avail.
His w ife died of a broken heart several years
ago, and two children followed shortly after
ward. Two daughters, who w r ere sent out west
twenty-eight years ago, have since married,
but neither has seen the father during that
time. Mr. Cortelyou has just turned 00 years,
but looks twenty years older. His face and
head are covered w’ith long gray hair, while his
general appearance is of a person in great suf
fering and pain.

Which Strikes Terror Into the Heart of New
York Capitalists.
New York, October 20.—[Special.]—The
failure of Timothy Brothers, the Nashville, Tenn.,
dry goods firm, has been of interest to a number of
New York importers. In fact, of the 3200,000 liabili

paper. Among other firms with amounts of the
ae< o mt, are the following: E. S. Jaffray & Co., 314,-
450; Sylvester Hilton & Co., 39,479; First National
bank of New York, 33,750; J. J. Wysong & C0.,53,G34;
James Me' 'rcery & Co., 32,833; Manhattan Cloak and
Suit Co., 32,145.
It. was ascertained today that one of the Timothy
brothers had been here for several days last week,
and had cons ilted with H. B. Claflin & Co. as to the
ease. The result was that th -New York firm sent
two representatives to Nashville on Monday even
ing ana supplemented them by L. Kneeland, the
collection lawyer, on Tuesday evening. These gen
tlemen are to save from the wreck what they can.
The next largest creditors, F. S. Jaffray & Co., have
