MCIENT DOCUMENTS. *
A Link in the History of the
Maha Indians.
With the permission of the chief of
the Omahas , who is at present in this
city , and through the kindness of
Judge Savage , wo were ehown yester
day some interesting documents which
have been held by the tribe for sever
al generations , and are yet in an ex
cellent condition.
One is dated July 27th , 1800 , and
is from James Wilkinson , " : omman-
dcr-in-cbicf of the army of the United
States , Governor of the Territory of
Louisiana , and Superintendent of In
dian AfFdir.3. " This was three years
after the purchase of the Territory of
Louisiana by the United States from
Napoleon Bonaparte , then first con
sul of France. At that time , it will
be remembered , the territory of Lou
isiana comprised nearly all of the
present elate of Louisiana , Arkansas
Missouri , Iowa , Minnesota , Dakota
Territory , Nebraska , most of Kansas
and the Indian Territory , part of Col
orado , moat of Wyoming and the
whole of Montana , Idaho , Oregon aud
Washington territory. Over this vast
territory a government was placed by
the president.
The British still had an envious eye
on the Mississippi , and Governor Wil
kinson , no doubt , know the value c ,
the good will of a then powerful tribe
of red men , Mid the expression ot his
appreciation embodied in the docu
ment , which we give below , is equiva
lent to an assurance of their right and
title to the territory of their forefath
ers , which then , as now , occupied a
largo range iu the northeast corner of
the state , aud a guarantee that the
transfer of the territory of Louisiana
to the United States should in no way
affect their title.
Following is a correct copy of the
body of the document :
"In consideration of the fidelity ,
zeal aud attachment testified by Wa-
shing-ga-sa-be , chief of the Mahas. to
the government of the United States
and by virtue of the power and au
thority in me vested , I do hereby con
firm the said chief
Wa-ahing-ga-sa-bo a
of the Mahas aforesaid , having be
stowed upon him the great
medal willing all and singular
the Indians and the inhabitants there
of t& obey him as a chief and all offi
cers and others in the service of the
United States to treat him accord
ingly. "
? ,
Given at St. Louis , etc. , by his
Excellency's command ,
JOSEPH BK'OWNE ,
Secretary.
This document is executed by hand
upon a largo nheot of parchment , at'
the top of which is the representation
of a spread eagle clutching the stars
and siripoa. Half of the sheet 1
devoted to a verbatim translation , 13
French , of the above.
Another of the relics dates back to
1793 , when Iho territory was under
Spanish rule. It is signed by th
lieutenant of the Spanish governor ,
and is substantially the same as the
one subsequently given by Wilkinson ,
It is not so elaborately gotten up , and
is written in French alone. Wo give
below a correct translation :
Puuzeiion Trudciu , lieutenant to the governor ,
and commandcr-in-chlcf oj the part cast c
Illinois.
Wo certify that the herein named
Wa-gin-gas-s.vbot , grand chief of the
village of the Maha nation , hai couio
to us and given the hand. Wo have
welcomed him as a good Indian , and
in consequence we have solicited of
the grand chief of the Spanish
medal , for the purpose ot giving in
the hope that ho will conduct himself
like a good chief , who would join Jris
father after the Father of Life shal
have called him.
In faith of which wo have set our
hand and ecal at St. Louis , of III !
nois , the 3rd of the month of Juno ,
in the year seventeen hundred and
ninoty-fivo. " _ , ,
The documents have been preserved
by the Omahas in a stout walnut box
and are almost as bright and fresh as
when Urst executed.
Judge Savage considers them of
considerablo'historical importance and
peculiarly valuable to him , as ho nas
become much interested in the his
tory of the tribe , and contemplates
writing the same.

Mr. S. J. Ahern , of Now York , is
in company with Rev. II. H. Cole at
the Union Pacific hotel across the
river. Mr. Ahorn has published
volume on the land question , which
is now the absorbing question in Great
Britain. The gentleman is in the
west for the purpose of observation
with a view of publishing another vol
ume for circulation in Europe , giving
such hints as will bo valuable to the
European farmer in selecting a loca
tion for a future homo in the great
west. Mr. Ahern holds that the farm
er of Great Britain cannot compete
with his brother farmer of Nebraska
at any rental , and that the
only remedy for the discontent
in the old world is to pull up stakesi
cross the Atlantic , and become one of
us. Mr. Ahern knows the land ques
tion at homo and its merits , and a
third of a century in America lias
enabled him to comprehend the ad
vantages presented by the ownership
of the rich soil of Nebraska aud Iowa.
The people in Great Britian" will pay
heed to the recommendation of Mr.
Ahern's to them , and it is therefore of
interest to our land owners to let him
sea our land in the best possi
ble light. The gentleman will visit
Lincoln and other prominent points.

A lad giving the name of Harrover ,
while in a helplessly drunken condi
tion , early Sunday morning , fell
through the large plalo glass window
of Goodman's drug emporium , on

honor explained to the boy that inas
much as the window could not
replaced .for two hundred dollars
lars , his misfortune constituteda ,
penitentiary offence. Ho was com
mitted to the county jail to await
further examination. The case will
no doubt go before the grand jury.

A Mysterious Shot at the U. P
Transfer.
From Mr. Cash Wilzon , of Daven
port , we learn the particulars of a mysterious
storious shooting affair that occurrei
at Council Bluffs Sunday.
A party of baggagemen from Daven
port , consisting of Messrs. A. R. Me
Cullough , Geo. CreighTon and Wm
Berand were walking up to the Blufl
from the depot , and wbei near th
Drover's House , Mr. Berand felt
smart blow on the hand. His fin
impression was that one of his friend
had hit him , and turning ho chargec
McCullough with striking him.
McCulIough disclaimed any auch ac
and the conclusion was arrived at tha
somebody had thrown some misslo a
them.
Upon quettloning an engineer of an
engine standing by , ho stated that h
saw some minute particle fly throng !
the air , and heard the report of a gun
Upon investigation a bullet was
found , of 38 calibre , and a further in
vestigation revealed the fact tbat
bullet hole had been pierced throug !
McCallough's coat. Berand's littl
and fourth fingera were severely in
jurcd , but not dangerously.
Search failed to , re veal the dastarc
who fired the shot , although th
police were at once notified.
It was a very mysterious affair , am

War in the Sixth Ward.
Sunday afternoon a game of baa
ball was played at the terminus of th
green line of street cats between two
youthful nines. During the progres
of the game a ball went into the yari
of a German living near by , and soon
after another followed it The Ger
mau confiscated the balls and bore
them into his dwelling. The boy
failed to see the justice of this proceeding
coeding , and marching up to the house
in a body , demanded that the ball be
restored to them. The Gorman re
plied with Language more vigor
ous than refined , when the boys
becoming excited , picked np some
clods of dirt and slung them at him
One of them struck the German's
wife ; whereupon the Teuton , becom
ing exasperated , launched a brick a
the party , which struck an irinocen
spectator in the head. The army re
tired under this volley from the enenr
but soon returned and commenced ac
tive operation with brickbats. The
Dutchman responded vigorously , ant
sent for re-inforcements , [ which soon
arrived in the shape of a big bull dog
from a neighboring house. But the
canine did not feel disposed to face
the enemy , who presented a very for
midable front. Finally the battle was
terminated by the German's produc
inj a revolver , which caused the
noble Lnight's of the diamond to te
treat in disorder , and hostilities were
ceased for the day.
Yesterday steps were taken ] by
the German to arre t the belligerents.
Ho claims that the pistol was not
loaded , and that the provacation was
entirely on the boys''part.

mental darknets and sin.
The enumerator told our reporter
that he was much impeded by the de
plorable obtuieuesa of many people he
had occasion to question. ' 'I have , "
said ho. "oftentimes much trouble in
making them understand the nature
and necessity of a census. They are
very suspicious , and imagine that I
am an informer of some kind , iu the
employ of the police , or , at boat , an
agent of some tort. I meet with many
abusive people , and am frequently in
sulted and loaded with epitheti of no
fl ittering nature. I am obliged to been
on hand early in the morning , and
have much trouble in 'rousing some
people from their early slumber * , and
you may Imagine that they are in no
very pleasant humor when thus dis-
urbed , and the door is slammed in
my face with a curae for being a d d
pcddlor , disturbing decent people at
th it hour of the day ! Oftentimes I
meet with people who do not know
the place of their mtivity nor their
ages. "
"Yes , " he replied , In answer' to an
inquiry of our reporter , "there are in
my district a numbsr of houses of
questionable repute , and the inmates
often try , in various ways , to evade
my questions , or answer mo in an
equivocal manner , but a leading of
the penally provided for those who re
fuse to make correct statements gen
erally brings them to time. Of course
it is to ba presumed that even then
many of 'their answers will bo mere
fabrications , originating in their own
Imaginations. Their occupations ?
Oh , they are all dressmakers. "
In answer to a question regarding
the mortality and general health of
the waid , he said : "During the first
three days I took between 400 and 500
names , and failed to hear ot a single
case of death * during the present year.
I found considerable dirt , but strange
to say , no caaea of aickness.
Why dose yourse ves with nauseat
ing medicines , when a purely fruit
aihartic will cure you at once Ham
burg Figs. Try them.
