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.

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.

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 be drowned. He made a last desperate effort to move that oyster and then deliberately bit his paw off. lie left the end of it in the oyster and hobbled off on three legs. Sid and I ran down, and after a search of half an hour found the spunky oyster as he was trying to eject the coon's paw and captured him." 1 reckon that Sid has that coon’s paw yet.” Thu President of Memphis Jockey Club Fulls Vo id in the Club House.

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.
