Turner Wall and Queen Dora was well re ceived and furnished a great deal of amusement for the soldiers. There is some talk of "A Trip to Honolulu" being presented in town The specialties and songs are all good and the entertainment is suit able for ladies and children. A-duel was recently fought in Paris , France between two girls in which stockings filled with sand were the weapons used by the cambatants. One of the partici pants had her skull crushed. This is a rather sanguinary use of hos iery but one cun hardly be sur prised at any weapon that a woman may use from a broomstick to a pair of hose. . Drs. II. C. an 1 Minnie Curry the eye specialists , of Chicago , who have made -several trips to Valentine previous , will liiuke their next professional/ Saturday , Nov. 28th , for one day only. They are the oldest and most re- lable specialists in the west and carry the largest set of instruments in use. Consultation free. Glas ses fitted at the lowest prices. They are known to be good and reliable. - . . A game of foot ball is. on the program 1'ortoday and will no doubt furnish lots of amusement both to the spectators" and tin- players. The line up will be com posed of the high school eleven , and a scrub team , among whom we understand there will be several crack players ; the ministry , the bar and the medical fraternity be ing represented. We hope the professional gentlemen will not be called upon to render any service execopt that of players. A hot atid interesting game is likely to be played and if the weather is as prdpitious as is promised a large number will witness the manipula tion of the pig skin. Judicinl Vote.

The trouble with the Indians in Wyoming is over , and the net re sult in bloodshed is two white men and four- red men killed and a buck and a squaw wounded. On the 30th of October two small parties of Indians belonging to the Pine Ridge' reservation and bear ing passes from Major J&cnnan , Indian Agent , returning from an expedition into Wyoming , .as a re sult of ordinary good fortune came together on Little Thunder creek and formed a single party and were quietly and peaceably pur suing their homeward journey when Sheriff Miller with a small posse from Newcastle intercepted them for the purpose of making a wholesale arrest and marching the whole body to the Wyoming town. The two original bands were headed respectively by Wm. Brown who had three with him , and Char lie Smith who had a much larger number ; and when united the-trav elers and their train consisted of sixteen men , some. women and children , and fifteen wagons. These people bad been abroad to gather roots and herbs , and the Indians say that they had killed rabbits , sage hens and prairie dogs , but no large game' , and moreover state they had traded with the whites who came into their camps giving moccasins and bead work for shed ] ) and venison , and Last 'Bear , a member of the Brown party , says these had no beef at all except the oft'alls of a carcass for which they "traded a blanket at Hot Springs on their outward passage. The claim was made on the part pi Wyoming settlers that they were hunting the larger- game in viola tion of the state law , and also that they were killing cattle. We would not greatly doubt that they had shot large game , but it is not so probable that they molested cattle on the range. The excited imagination of men who think Indians have no right to live would have little difficulty in mixing a few cows in with antelope in the indictment against them. After the two parties had united Charlie Smith was , on account of his superior attainments and abil ity to speak English , practically the head man. He was fairly edu cated at the Carlisle school , had been assistant farmer on the White Clay , and during the present year had been of the Agent's foremen and in charge of 40 or ' 50 laborers on the national work on the reser vation , and was a peaceable' and useful man. There was therefore iliiite.l . to his own Indian cunning some of the whites man's "know ledge and experience. But for this knowledge and experience there would probably have . been no bloodshed. The sheriff wanted the Indians to go witli him , but Smith refused to do so , saying that they had done no wrong and were attending to their o.vn business . going'to . .the * " ' ! * f > ' ' reservation , and that they kne\\v if they were to go with the sheriff they would be .stripped of their ponies and wagons and everything else they had ; for this had been their experience in a former like case. Brown advised Smith that he was willing to go . "with the sheriff , and it is understood that there would have been iio objec tion by the other members of the party. The sheriff and his men tooiv dinner in Brown's tent. : He told * miti ! as they were leaving that' he was going away to get re inforcements and that he would return and take the-Indians back. They all moved away together from the dinner encampment at the same time but had gone only a short distance when they reached the forks in the rOad , one going to Newcastle which the -sheriff took , and the other bearing to ward the reservation which Smith , who' who was in the lead , followed , at the same time beckoning to the Indians to come with him. Not being' able to understand English they supposed-that sonic agree ment had * taken ' place betwC-en 3jjit'h find the. sheriff .and .that it was the-.proper thing ; for them-to " ' " * " Jo with the latter , . . . . . . traveled' until 11 o'clock that night before pitching camp , and at sunrise next morning took to the trail again. At noon they went into camp for dinner. About 5 p. m. they came to Lightning creek. They had now cove red up wards of 70 miles since they sepa rated from the sheriff. At this point a girl went to .open a gate to let them down to the stream. She returned with the information that a body of white men were down there and were going to shoot at the Indians. The Indians were moving along without a word. Their guns were put away in the wagons , and only two or three on horseback had guns in their hahds when the shooting began. The Indians deny that . .the conflict was begun by them , and it is said by some familiar with the evidence on both sides that when the truth is fully known it will be seen that the white men were the aggressors. Sheriff W. H. Miller was killed and Deputy Faulkenberg mortally wounded. Of the Indians , Smith and three others were killed , and Smith's wife and Last Bear were wounded. The Indians scattered and fled , leaving ponies , wagons , and nearly everything they had. One Indian who had a wagon and a top buggy left the wagon and escaped with the buggy. Last Bear who was wounded was put in to a conveyance and taken away with his family. Black Feather and Chief Eagle , with their wives , got away with Brown. Several of the Indians were captured by the posse ami taken to Newcastle. Thosetjiat. . got away made all .pos sible jiaste to- reach , the reserva tion. They traveled all that night and the next 'day.intending to .camp the next night on Hat creek where there-.was . settlement . , but here three shots were fired at them by somebody and they kept on un til they reached Horse Head in the vicinity of Oelrichs where they went into camp. It is said that this party , travelling in every pos sible way , wus lira , pitiable con dition. Indian Agent Brennan dispatched some officers from the agency''who , taking 'Chief En'gle with them , went to gather up the abandoned property and to. bring back some families that were left behind. The Agent also urged the department to take active meas ures to investigate , and to protect .the Indians in their rights and see that they had proper defense. Last Saturday .the Indians jn custody had their examination at Douglas. When the state. rested the United States District Attorn ey moved for a discharge-of the prisoners on the ground that no case had been made against them , and the magistrate sustained the motion. There were 9 of these who came down Monday night on the train and 'went-to RuehviHe on their return'to the 'Vesdrvatibn. Chadron Times. I'r-i'ii tin ; Co \ Cow Boy.
