jTrliVlh fil if! I? U VOL. XXVI. NO. 12. PLATTSMOUTH, CASS COUNTY, N KB K A SKA, TIHJKSDAY. JANUARY 8 1891 WtJCt&i fllH BIB iff 1 JJllttfl i 1 "Blud." The Journal man mubt have dieted on raw hver yesterday, with a few draughts of fresh blood. He curries the mayor, jumps outo and condemns the police. making some serious charges against them aud then winds up by an appeal to arms and a demand ihat J. E. Boyd be seated as governor by force, if it is not done peaceably. We trust the Journal man will not deluge thu state with gore, especially in the absnce of the state militia, as there is no telling where the trouble would end in a sanguinary battle between the alliance, armed with pitchforks and spades, confronted by the sons of democracy, in battle array, armed with plug hats, cigarettes and a larce display of mouth. In die buttle it more than likely that the democracy would be wiped from the face of the earth, we, therefore, in the interests of humanity, beseech and plead with our contemporarv not to ero upon the war path, but to counsel peace and harmony.

Militia Meeting. There will be a meeting of the Platts mouth guards at the council chamber, to night. Important matters must be attended to, as it is almost cer tain the governor will call on us within the next three days to move to the front, unless hostilities cease. Shooting Match. Quite a crowd went down to John Holmes thi3 morning to attend the shoot ing match which takes place there today. George Sayles and Henry Inhelder of Cedar Creek were among the crowd of sports that were in attendance. -The shooting will be at black birds, as they are called, which is a sort of clay and pitch saucer shaped article, thrown from a trap. It ttkes a good shpt to hit the bird, but there are plenty of our fellows that are able to mako very creditable i jores.

Immediate Surrender the Only Alter- natiqe Left Them and Full Compliance Probable. The War Spirit Takes Flight. Pink Kiduk Aokncv, S. D., (via Rushvillc, Neb., Jan. G. Special. Yesterday afternoon young Jack Red Cloud, Big Road, High Horse, Little Hawk, Lone Hear and live others came in to treat fr peace in behalf of the Pine Ridge Agency Indians. They I sought General Miles and held a short council, more brief and emphatic,douht- let-s. than they had anticipated. General Aiihs ordered them to come andsurrend er at once. That he wouid listen to none of their complaints; that after the affair was arranged heie they could go to Washington and make their com plaints to the proper authorities. They wished him to withdraw the troops from here aud these surrounding them, which the general refused to do. The red men were of course disappoint ed that they could not make terms of peace, but General Miles plainly let them understand that he was the person in the position to make the terms or peace. I bey then asked lor tne usual delay of time, saying they had twenty- six wounded persons aud that they could not be safely moved at present, further asking that the troops be not sent out against them. Miles replied saying they had better come in soon. He would make no promise as to the noa movement of the troops. The reason for delay appears some what ludicrous when it is remembered that they are only distant from ten to twelve miles. They were asked to bring in the wounded and they would receive the best of medical attendance. These Indians will hold another brief talk to Jay with General Miles and then return to their friends. They report all Pine Ridgo Indians want peace, but it is doubtful if they can persuade the others. as they have always wished for war, and want to fight now. If the Pine Ridge ' Indians do return this will reduce the hostile force to about 2,000 all told. This force the troops can easily conquer if they persist in their determination for war. The Pine Ridge Agency Indians will doubtless return to this place in a day or two. Another Engagement. Rushville, Neb. Jan. 6. A special from the camp near Wounded Knee creek gives particulars of another engagement which took place at that point yesterday morning. A detachment of thirty men was sent ont to meet a wagon train with supplies for the camp and when ten miles sent back to the camp for reinforcements but in the'meantime an incessant fire was kept up on both sides, resulting in the wounding of one soldier and the killins- and wounding of several Indians, the exact number could not bo ascertained. wagon train was escorted to camp. Rosebud Strongly Guarded. Rosebud Agency, S. D., (via Valen tine, Neb.), Jan. 6 Last night Colonel Poland had the hills strongly guarded, In case any attack should be made he will not be caught napping. Only six companies oi infantry remain for the defense of the agencv. In case Two Strike moves this way the agency can be held for some time, but nothing further could be done with the force here. Nothing has been heard from the cavalry that left for Pine Ridge Monday night. Charles Tackett, the most intelligent and best informed mixed blood at Rosebud, acted as guide. All is quiet now. The friendly Ind- ians wero slightly excited oyer the Big I Foot fight bat are still quiet and orderly Agent Wright feels confidant that no one will leave to join Two Strike. All who wanted to go left long ago. Gen. Miles' Favorable View. Washington, Jan. 6. General Scho- field received the following telpgram from General Miles, dated Pine Ridjze, S. D., January 5: In answer to a communication I sent to the hostile camp ytsterday saying five men could ome in and learn what I expected them to do, the following came in: Big Road, He Dog, Little Hawk, Jack Red Cloud and Big Hawk. The prospects at present are favorable. The whole camp may surrender, but I do not wish to anticipate. There are no chang es in the condition of the troops. ONE MORE UNFORTUNATE. The Body of Private Chette, Horrib ly Mutilated, Brought in- Pine Ridge Aokncy, S. IX, (via Rush ville. Neb.). Jau 6. rSpecial.r That i the search. for the dead was not conclu sive was proven today, when an Indian brought into the agency the body of Pri yule Francis Chette, of troop C, Seyinth cavalry. The body was found in a ravine ;ix miles from the battlefield to the north. The unfor tunate soldier had been mutilated in a horrible manner. Every bone in the body was broken and the scalp removed. Chette was probably killed in one of the skirmishes and overlooked. He was buried today with military honors in the reservation cemetery. Sixty-five squaws, with about the same number or papooses. came in from the hostile camp, about six miles away. tociav. and are being taken earn of. There is great suffering among the hostiles on account of scarcity of food or shelter. No move ment of troops is projected. It is Btated that General Forsythe is to be reinstated till the close of the campaign. Saved by the Ninth. Pine Ridgk Agency, S. D Jan. 6. Special to the Bee. The Seventh cav alry freely admit that the Ninth cavalry, under Colonel Henry, saved them from heavy losses, if not more, the day they went to the mission. They had been urawn into a trap by the Indians, and on attempting to withdraw the Indians ciosed around them, and they could not Ulive got out except by heavy losses, The Nintb though having marched nearly niuety miles, dashed to the front, Rnd occupyinK the ridges, opened fire -jta carbine and Hotchkiss and drove the Indians back and out of the ravines in which they were hidden. Legislative Proceedings. At 12:07 Secretary of State Cowdery called the house of representatives to order. S. M. Elder ot Clnv county was nominated by the alliance; F. E. White of Cass was presented by the democrats. and J. O. Cramb of Jefferson was named by the republicans for temporary speaker. On a call of the roll the vote stood, El der, 53; White, 23: Cramb. 21; Elder himself voted for Cramb. Frank White yoted for Win. A. Gardiner. Cramb did not vote. Mr. Elder was delared elected temporary speaker and Messrs. White and Cramb were appointed to escort the one armed temporary speaker to the chair. For chief clerk the independents named Eric Johnson of Phelps. The re publicans named John E. Raper of Hall. The democrats made no nomination and sat silent while the yote was being taken which resulted in 55 votes for Johnson and 21 for Raker. A committee was then appointed on credentials, consisting of three indepen dents, one republican and one democrat. Church Howe looked up nervously from his seat behind Watson, who sat in the micldle aiele in front of the speaker, as he noticed that the alliance could bounce him on the Nemaha county affi(iavit3 that hftd been filed, if they 80 ae8irea DUC De re3tea easy en tne report a few minutes later, seated every member without a contest. Johnson, the chief clerk, is one of the rankest prohibitionists to be found any where, and will be looked upon by the Omaha contingent as a villian. that "darkest Africa" could not match.

Keifer, of Pierce. movd to Rtnend bv striking out the second assistant eeargeant at arms. He called attention to the demand for retrenchment made by the independents, and said that the last session, which was noted for extravagance, hfwd no second assistant seargeant at arms. A spirited debate followed, the independents opposing the amendment on the ground that it was better to give a western sufferer a situa tion and lt him earn his living, than it was to make an appropriation for him. The amendment was not agreed to. Stevens of Lincoln moved that a com mittee or seven be selected to name standing committees, and gaye a list of seven independents to constitute the committee. Keifer of Pierce moved to amend bv adding the names of three of other political faith, and the amended moton was carried. A committee of five to make senate rules will be appointed by the president.

Switzer of Douglas moved to amend by adding the names of two democrats and the amendment was accepted by Stevens. Moore of Lancaster moved to amend by adding names of two republicans. but the independents voted th amend ment down, ine original motion was then adopted. Skipped .
