Cheyenne, Wyo., June 15. Joe Wild, a pioneer settler of Fort Laramie, and Fred Hobig, a ranchman near that place, got into a quarrel over the purchase of some goods at the former's store, and in the mix-u-p that followed Uobig was badly whipped. Later, Uobig ambushed Wild and shot him with a rifle, the ball entering the lungs. Wilde cannot live, and his friends were greatly excited. Shortly after Hoblg's arrest he was taken to Wheatland for safety, as it was feared Wild's friends would attempt to use violence. The wounded man is one of the best known men in the west, having been connected with all the early expedi- tions against the Indiana Three Killed by Lightning. Bellaire, Ohio., June 15.

They were walking home from from church when the lightning struck them. It is believed that the steel in the corsets worn by the three that were killed was the chief cause of their death, as Miss Bohring, who was only stunned, wore none. Embassador ANENT FOR. Drift of T rooty for Aoorxmtloa of Hawat to F ill tod Mtitai Belif Prepared. Washington, June 15. A draft of I treaty for the annexation of Hawaii tt the United States is being prepared bj Judge Day, the assistant secretary a state, aud Mr. Hatch, the Hawaiian minister in Washington. It will lw presented to President Me Kinley for approval soon after he returns to the ifity. It does not follow, however, that it will be immediately sent to the senate. On the contrary, the president will adhere to his determination not to Imperil the tariff situation by the introduction of any foreign questions. The proposed new treaty will not contain any provision for a pension to the late qneen or a gift of money tc the princess, but it will probably bs provided that the princess shall receive a pension out of the territorial revenues. It is interesting to know that the Liliuo-kalan- i proposition topensioqex-Queedid not come from the Hawaiian commissioners, but was suggested by the then secretary of state, Foster. A leading member of the senate committee on foreign relations said that two plans are under consideration by the administration. One is to annex the islands aud admit into the Union as the territory of IlawaiL The other is to make them a county of California. There is no doubt, it is said, of the presidents acquiescence in the terms of the treaty for the reason that he was made fully aware of tiiem before he left. The United States will agree to the debt of the present Hawaiian government, but will come into possession of all the Hawaiian crown lands and other possessions. n as-in- INDIAN SERVICE.
