"Another change Is that I will havt a stronger advance party than on the last trip , so that when wo got readj for the final dash there will be sledges and supplies enough. Last time then was not enough to load five sledges. ' MAN WANTED VERY MUCH AT BEEMER IS ARRESTED.

He li now 811 joars old , and eellng the. t'pproaeh of death , he last Si'tur- day dictated the following statement to his grandson , Moses Cond Vole , who Is a etenograpber and took the words In short-hand. After giving tlio statement Good Voiea r-nu . icd that It be published as his last word to his people and to the government at Washington : I always ohejad the rules of the goveinment. When the go\ornmeiit ashed us to give tvr chlldien to the s'-l-ori i w'ns the llrst one to send ir'ue. ' In ordoi to keep our chili'nn ' on tbe roseiva- lion I asked the government to ksep the rclu o's ' on rur res rvatlon. I alwaj. * looked to the good govern ment , and ther. 'ore 1 asked for a chinch. I have no grudge against tlio people of the United States. That Is ono ica- sen I wart the goveinniMit to hear fit m me. By our disobedience the government veil io lii've war with the i.ul'ms. ' But I nlv ys look tlio government'1 pint and lipo'd them.

But the Indians found out that Red Beat was on the govern- menl's side , overpowered him , and his party were badly slaughtered. Theee Indians were composed of tribss from Cheyennes , Ogalallas and Rose bud Sioux. I have been to Washington several times as delegate , and on these occa sions I have fully represented my people on good government. I have always looked for good government , therefore I asked the government to hear from mo once more. I shako hands with our agent , the officials at Washington , also my friend Right Rev. Wm. Hare , Bishop of South Dakola. Last evening as I lay in my tepee I saw the sun go down and in a few minutes after all was darkness. I knew it would rise again and its gold en rays would light the earth once more and I thought that tonight my life light would go out but I feel sure that soon I would see light again in the presence of the Great Spirit the Father of us all. As quietly as the twilight deepens into the darkness of night , so quietly and certain will my life light go out , for I'm old and my time has come. Shake hands , Indians and whiles , Good Voice hears the Great Spirit say come. I'm going I'm not afraid. Morning has come good-bye , good-bye ! NINE SQUARE MILES OF CROPS ARE DESTROYED.
