Sheridan, Wyo., Special. A skir mish occurred between a baud of the renegade Ute Indians and a troop of the Tenth Cavalry on Bitter Creek, according io word brought by a spec ial courier. The troops had captured 50 Ute ponies, severely frightened five Indian hoarders. As the troopers were driving- away the ponies, 100 I'te Indians, fully armed, surrounded the cavahymea and the ponies, stampeding the ponies with revolver shots and war whoops. The Indians recovered all the ponies but five that were killed by the troops in an effort to stop the stampede. The Indians did not fire at the soldiers. The soldiers desisted from attacking the Utes, as the reds greately out numbered the troopers. Troopers say that as far as they can ascertain from rumor and obser vation, the Indians will light with little provocation. Another detachment of the Tenth Cavalry that left Sheridan Monday night ran across a wandering band of 100 Crow Indians under command of Chief Sweet Mouth. The troopers drove the crows back toward the Crow agency. The Crows said they were hunting and denied any intention of joining the Utes. Still another squad of the Tenth Cavalry fell in with a band of Chey enne Indians, who, on represent;! tio- that they were hunting-, were allowed to go in peace.

Hughes formerly a State Sena tor of lltL-higan. that there is in ihe possession of the proprietors of a publication by name Collier's Weekly having its usual place of business in New York city, evidence in the form of original documents, letters, tele grams, !.

Washington, Special. The Presi dent practiceally finished the prepara tion of his annual message, which goes to Congress next month. The President talked over tha mesa&e with members of the cabinet and oth ers and it is possible to give at this time a general aud fairly accurate forecast of its contents. The menace cf public wealth prob ably ccctt pies more space than any other single subject. The President's conviction as to the necessity for an inheritance tax has grown stronger every day since he first broached the subject several years ago, ami he will now take a more advanced stand than he has heretofore done. His belief in the wisdom of centralization has become one of his strongest hobbies. He is of the opinion that the Federal government should have supervision, not only over all lines of hasporta tion and communication, but also over corporations controlling the nec essities of life. He believes that sjeedy acceptance of this doctrine by great corporations themselves will save them untold trouble and pos sibly annihilation in the future. One oi the greatest dangers iu our present age, he argues, is the growing discon tent of the masses against the classes and the sooner the public is convinc ed that the great so-called trusts are conducted as much in the interest of the people as in the interest of cou pon clippers the sooner will the pos sibility of a revolution be removed. The President believes there should bo a limit on great fortunes. In his opinion the piling of millions on top of millions in banks is not a healthy way to increase wealth, and when these vast fortunes descend to indi viduals who never worked for a dollar of their collossal inheritance, the ef fect is distinctly bad. The FreSKTJT.t Is also said to be an ardent advocate of an income tax, but not quite ready to press the matter upon Congress. In his message the President will again pay bis respects to the rail roads and will urge additional legis lation io reinforce ihe rate law pass ed last year.
