But the BEE to us Is always associated
with , and seems a part of Nebraska. This

A HOLDIEU TBIED AND TKUE
of unflinching coutage , yet gentle as a
woman. Nebraska has done well to perpetuate -
potuato his name in ono ot her counties.
I mourn yet b'yt untimely death , yet
grieve moro that it should bo charged on
the innocent. In a letter to the Christian
Statesman , of Philadelphia , written from
Omaha shortly after his death , I said :
"If thia murder could have boon fas
tened on the Indians , as it was evidently
Intended It should bo , wo nhould have
hoard a hno and cry from Maine to Call
fornla , "Exterminate the red devils and
cut-throats 1" But fls it waa by n white
man , and a soldier in Cherry's own com
pany , why the 'poor fellow * was only
crazy , and any number of affidavits were
offered in his behalf to provo his ineanity. "
I find in traveling through the country
that Ibis impression invariably prevails.
TUB FACTS.
While working up at Fort Nlobrara I
wrote a letter in reply to another to tbo
"Frontier , " of O'Neill City , giving an
accunnt of the killing of Ohoo , a half-
breed from Rosebud agency. I de
nounced In plain English the killing as a
brutal and cowardly murder , and con
cluded with : "So far from hoping , as
your correspondent docs , that no harm
may befall the bar-tender , wo hope ho
shall receive the full penalty of the lair
he has violated , not only as a warning to
others , but as the best moans of preaerv
ing peace and securing ns and our fami
lies , exposed hero on the border , from al
tlio horrors of an Indian outbreak.1
This letter TTBB shamefully garbled by
Matthews , the editor , making mo make
charges against the officers of the post ,
which I had not done , and raised a per
foot storm of excitement ngaintt mo. ]
was absent from the fort for about six
weeks , and on my return took a copy o
my letter to Liout. Cherry and comparec
it with the printed copy. This satisfied
him , won his respect and esteem , and hi
used his Influence to remove the prejudice
dice Its publication had awakened.
A few weeks subsequently the write
became aware , involuntarily , of a plot
hatched by soldiers and cow-boys to rob
Major Stanton on his way up with lour
months' pay for the troops. The com
mander was ( promptly notified , and in
the presence of Rev. T. A. Mo Adam , the
chiplaln , urged to take steps to defeat
the plot. The Idea waa poo-hoood and
ridiculed. Lieut. Cherry called on me
next day and questioned mo in regard to
it. I refused to give names. "It Is only
an idle camp rumor ; yon don't know sol
diers as well s I do , " said Cherry. "I
did not get it BO , " I replied. "Well ,
Major Stanton is a brave , lion-hearted
man , has been paymaster a long time ,
and anybody who attempts to 'jump' him
will got hurt , perhaps. " "So much the
worse for Major Stanton , " I said ; "these
are desperate men , and intend to have
that money. If his life la in the way It
will bo a small matter. "
I can sco him yet , impatiently kicking
the gravel on the parade ground , tbou
rousing up , and turning towards mo :
> "Perhaps It will bear looking into ; don't
mention It to any one that you spoke to
mo about it. " "Well , lieutenant , don't
> yon mention my name in connection
with it. "
Wo patted. The next time I saw him
HE WAS A COUPS E.
Taking two sergeants with him , bo
started that afternoon from Noally or
Oakdale , then the terminus of the rail
road , motMaj. Stanton there , and es
corted ] him safely to the post , and spoiled
. that llttlo game. The following week ,
he paid the .penalty with his life. The
major paid off the soldiers on Thursday.
The next thing on the programme was to
rob Cornell & Thatcher , post sutlers ,
Lieut. Cherry's vigilance , and promptness
defeated this , also. A fallow named
Castolllno hept what waa called the
"Hog Ranch" saloon , dance-house , and
gambling hell , all in one , near the fort.
This must be "pulled. " Monday night ,
Johnson was on * guard at the sUblos.
There wore throe lots of the 5th cavalry
tbero. At 11 o'cloak ho and foor
,
. horeos were miming. An houi
later four men in masks , made
an attack on tbo rank , killing Baling
Batdcau , outsider , and giving a eealp
wound to a soldier over the tomplo.
This , too , proved a failure , as Oaatelline
"held the foit" 10 well that too of the
patty had to haul off for repairs. Tbo
wrlttr artived at the Fort the previous
evening from Rosebud Agency , where h&
had spout a week , and rode back with
Spotted Tail and his son In his bnggy.
There are few men for whom I think
moro sincere respect and esteem than for
the brave old chief of the Sioux. Bor-
dean was his bcss herder , and I think
his son-in-law. He was off hit reterva-
) tlon and would do nothing while off ol
It , but politely tendered tbo terrlcos ol
Klg Thigh and others of his best police
men to go in pursuit , Lieut. Uherrj
started early next morning , struck thi
trail , crossed the Nlobrara river , bu
soon lott the trail , and camped at a cat
tlo ranch between the Fort and Fort
Randall.
Cherry hnd roonested Frank Marks to
go along with bin as A scout. Thla man ,
now living at Norfolk , had been for aomo
tlmo In the secret servlco of the state ,
and had succeeded in breaking up Jack
Nolan's and Doe Mlddloton's gangs of
horse thieves , placing both these worthies
at hard labor for a period of ton years
each at the Llnceln penitentiary. Ho
was then at the fort , ostensibly working
as A stone mnson and plasterer , but keeping -
ing bis weather eye on some "crooked-
nosa" In. which It was pretty well under
stood
THE COMMANDER HAD A SLY LITTLE HAND.
It was n llttlo remarkable , at leant ,
that Cornell , the post sutler , and a con
tractor named Kin ? were running a
steam eaw-mlll oa the public domain ,
and this Walttig was utterly unconscious
of the fact. Cherry urged htm to go
along and promised to get him the posi
tion of post scout. That night the
Indians reported three mon on horseback
had gene through Rosebud Agency.
After breakfast Cherry changed his course
nnd started for Old Fort Pierce. Marks
soon said there was "deviltry on foot , "
sullen looks , muttered growls , and slg-
nlGcant glancea were exchanged.- Tom
Locke , the cook of the party , "dutnallcd
for a voyage. " v hon they loft camp.
Marks and Choiry were killing pralrlo
chickens as they rode along , Thcso too ,
ho carefully scoured. Near the Turtle
Buttes , Ohorry divided hla party , ho and
three soldiers crossing a small stream , to
follow It down , and sending Marks with
"Thigh" and the other Indian scout to
cross another , and note Troll that no trail
crossed either , and to unite again at a
butte to the north of thorn. Scarcely
had they got their heads under the bank
till they heard four shots fired rapidly.
They had noticed aomo men on the butte ,
and suspecting they might bo the parties
they vroro after , were hastening to got in
tholr roar. Crossing the stream , and
reaching the table-laud above again , they
saw Cherry's horto and another , going
off with empty saddles , and Tom Locke
and Sargcant Warrlngton , golug off at
the gallop , in a different direction. Sus
pecting Cherry had boon ambushed and
tired on , they felt tholr way back to
where they had left him , but n few
moments before , and then , only a few
rods elF , ho was lying dead ,

and Conroy , another soldier , shot in the
hip. He aald : "They stoppad to water
their horses. Cherry drew rein first , nnd
started up the lank , he next , and Locke
and Harlngton behind. Cherry hoard a
click , and turned to look back , with his
loft hand on the horses rump , and was
shot under the arm as ho looked back.
The next shot took Conroy In the hip ,
and the other two were h'rod to start the
horaaa. All the shots were fired by
Locko. " Marks says when they found
the body Big Thigh dismounted , and tak
ing up the dead man's hand , pressed it
tenderly to his llpa , and then , kneeling
bojido the body poured out hla feelings
In a mild wailing , "dta wo o , " or "death
sorry , " ever the "bravo young white
chief. " The toara poured ever the
bronzed , weather-beaten cheeks as ho
rocked to and fro in intense emotion.
Shame on the slander that the Indians
were tha murderers. This brought the
expedition to a close , as Sergeant Smith
would not go further , without orders
from the commander , and the Indians
would not go on without orders from
Spotted Tall. Marks was very reluct
antly compelled to return , an ambulance
sent out and Cherry's body brought in.
A f tor getting a basket of ilowors to deco
rate his coffin , and realizing why ho was
lying there a corpse , and that that was
good , healthy county to get out of
skipped out down the river in a Httl
boat to the Missouri , some 200 or 350
miles.
It was a desperate and perilous under
taking. The Knox county papers sale
the first white man who over succeeded
in making the trip , but probably the saf
est.
HE HAD TO GO.
Mr. Marks received a letter shortly
after I left , which I have now in my
possession , containing the following :
"Wo want you to leave this reserva
tion forthwith. Wo want no detentions

gene , and the other ono bad bettor fol
low him quickly , unless ho wants to

That night his tent was attacked at
midnight , between twenty and thirty
shots tired , five of which passed through
the little tent where his wife lay in all a
woman's weakness and suffering , with a
young babe I These were not Indians.
Tom Locke , the murderer , was
brought in by some cow-boys on
tbo Leap or the Calamus. The com
mander compelled every officer and sol
dier , whom ho could induce to do BO , to
sign affidavits that ho was insane. I re
ported the facts to Gon. Crook at Omaha.
Marks used every effort to have the
guilty parties brought to justice. At his
dictation I sent the facts and a list ot
witnesses to Maj Campbell , United
States district attorney , at Yaukton , but
It was reported in court wo could not bo
found , simply bocanso wo were not
wanted , and justice waa defeated by the
old Insanity dodgol
If you will glvo this a place in your
columns it may tend to remove false Im
pressions , by giving the "true inward
ness" of the whole matter.

Nod Buntline In New York Worl-J.
While Longstroot was in front of Suf
folk pocking at us with Wright's bat
teries , initoad of coming in and "wiping
us out , " as ho could have done before wo
were reinforced , a report came in that ho
was massing n heavy force to the south
east of our lines , our weakest point of
defense. To learn the trno state of
things at this point I was sent with a
small scouting party by way of the Shin
gle company's canal into Lake Drum-
mend , to scout from thence south ot the
Dismal Swamp.
Going in skiffs wo reached a landing on
tolerably solid ground and camped for
the night on a llttlo knoll In a dome
thicket of scrab pine , a half milo or
thereabouts from the point of landing.
Of course I had sentinels well out from
our bivouac , for wo know by many sounds
that the enemy were not far from us.
All wont well through the night , and at
dawn wo made coffee nnd cooked some
venison that I had got from old Duke at
the head of the canal oa wo came by his
place on the previous afternoon. The
sentinels were called in to breakfast , for
there seemed to bo no Immediate danger.
Wo had just squatted to our coffee and
grist when a sound struck our oars which
made every man In silence spring up and
grasp his Sharp's carblno. It was the
heayy tread of men. Wo hod just got
our arms in hand when a dozen men in
rebel gray , led by a lieutenant over six
feet high and lean as a nail , broke right
through the brush in front of us.
In a second , while both paitlos stood at
a ready , the lieutenant cried out :
"Hold on , Yanksl If yon'uns won't
shoot , wo'nna ' 11 hold fire. That coffee
smells mighty good wo'nns havn't had
any for a year. Wo'vo lots of tobacco ,
though. "
Ho and his men looked no gaunt and
hungry , and so llttlo like enemies just
then , that I cried out :
"If you 11 stack your arms out there
and trust to us , you shall share In grub
and coffee , and then bo free to go back
and fight It out If you want to. "
"Good as sweet corn ! Wo'uus are
mighty hungry. "
They at oncu stacked arms and wo did
the same , and while our cook put moro
ccffeo and moro steak on the fire wo sat
thcro on the ground , the Blue and Gray ,
and talked as If wo were old friends.
Not about the war or its causes , but abcut
camp * o ujd other things.
And the way our coffee wont down
with hard taok and juicy venison steak
would have satisfied the proudest land ,
lord that ever bragged of his table.
After wo had filled np the Virginian ]
brought out tholr tobacco and did their
share of treating. The lieutenant had a
hngo canteen of old peach brandy , and
that wont the rounds.
After wo had got so friendly I asked
the lieutenant bow ho came to bo on that
point. Ho replied :
"I was sent to watch loaet yon 'nns
came this way In force to take upon the
flank. Our main force is massed in front ,
where the batteries are ready to go in If
you 'nns weaken , and the old fellow
( Longstroot ) was afeared you might
como through the swamp and tickle us
in the rear. What were you 'nns doln *
here ? "
"Just out on a hunt for fresh moat ;
got this deer last night. "
"Well , the best o * luck to you. You
don't feel like fighting now , do yon ? "
"Not If you boys don't. It would bo
a pity to spoil this picnic that way. "
So we all shook hands , traded coffee
for tobacco , and separated , at least for
then , as friends. The next day on the
lines wo were all throwing lead and iron
at each other.
Bis Sin Found Him Out.
Bozeman ( Mont. ) Correspondence.
Three years ago Rudolph Zimmerman ,
a wealthy farmer living at Breltenberg ,
Bavaria , was murdered and robbed of a
largo sum of money which ho carried on
his person. The most careful investiga
tion on the part of the police failed to
dlecover the perpetrators of the crime.
At last the secret of tbo crime has been
divulged by a well know loader of tbo
doml-mode In Berlin. This woman at
one tlmo lived In Breitonborg , and by
her beauty and attractive manners won
the affection of the Catholic priest of that
parish. In an unguarded moment ho re
vealed to his mistress ono of the secrets
of the confessional , which was to the
effect that Earnest Snydro was the mar-
doror of Rudolph Zimmerman ; that he
confessed the fact before leaving for
America In the meantime Snyder bad
had come to America , and settled in
Montana , embarking in railroad contracts
and succeeded In making a good deal , of
monoy. About u year ago ho fell in with
two brothers of the murdered Zimmer
man , and they formed a copartnership
for carrying on the business of lumberIng
Ing In the mountains near Bozeman.
About a week ago the Zimmerman broth
ers received a letter from a relative In
Germany , stating that they wore on the
track of the murderer of their brother
and hoped in the next letter to be able
to state who ho was. This letter was
read to their partner , Synder , who ap
peared greatly excited and talked inco
herently when discussing sorao butinosi
matters , but they suspected nothing.
The next morning Snjder packed his va
lise and said ho was going out hunting.
They thought It strange that ho should
drees np in his best clothes anrt take
satchel with him on a hunting trip , bnl
still suspected no deeper motive. Aftei
tlireo days' days absence their feari wore
aroused , search was instituted , and theli
comrade WAS traced to a precipice whore
broken bushes and trampled snow Indl
cated a death straggle , and tht
disappearance over the cllfl of smc
one. They took It for granto :
that Snyder had lost his life it
an encounter with a bear , returned t <
Bozemao , applied for letters of admlnlr
tration on his property , which the judgi
was about to grant when a cablegram wa
received from Germany stating tha
Snyder was the murderer of tholr brothe
Rudolph. It was at once apparent tht
Snyder had prepared the evidences of hi
death for the purpose ot misleading hi
partners , while he made his escape. Lf
loaves a good sized note book account &n <
a large amount of other personal prop
erty. The matter of his arretl la In th
band of skilled detectives who will spar
no expense In hunting him down.

The recent scare which the people c
Cleveland had , from what was suppose
to be two cases of Asiatic cholera in thol
midst , might have been avoided if the
had checked their excitement long enoug
to oiccrUln whether or not Cleveland
hbd had communication with any seaport
town In which cholera had recently exis
ted. The true Asiatic cholera always
originates In Hlndoslan , and has never
boon known to exist elsewhere except it
was oitrlod from the far o st directly or
indirectly. The Pitlsbnrg Times gives
an account of how cholera was first intro
duced to America in its virulent from. In
the spring of 1832 ton or twelve emigrant
ships brought cholera to Qaoboo from the
British islands , which Islands choleraic

Warsaw , thence by the Rntslan troops
from Alia , along the waterways of tlut
continent from HindosUn , where it ap
peared In 1826. It was six years infect-
lug its way tome ten thousand miles ,
From Quebec It followed the water to
Detroit and mot the United States troops
going to the Black Hawk war , and in a
short tlmo the entire force that went by
the lakes was unfit for duty. It was do-
cldod that the soldiers were Infected when
being transported by the boats which had
boon previously used In convoying west
the emigrants who had arrived at Quebec
In the ships to which reference bus been
mado. From the military postal Detroit
the Infection spread until it reached other
posts on the headwaters of the Mississippi
and thence to Now Orleans. No case of
cholera had occurred In that city until
after the arrival of tteamors with the In
fection on board and after a number of
passenger ! had died of it Within a few
months thereafter 0,000 of a population of
55,000 succumbed.
The only instance cf cholera in the
United States this year was the case on
board a ship which arrived at Nowbnry-
port , Mass. , two or throa weeks ego ,
This vessel was promptly and effectively
quarantined and no bad result has yet
been noted. It is the habit whenever
cholera is expected to visit the country to
herald severe cases of cholera morbus as
the gonulno Hlndostan article. While
the peculiarities of the Fast India climate
originate cholera , yet , when once import
ed , local facilities in the way of filth to
work on are an Important auxiliary.
Sanitary science says that the canso of in
dividual attack is the drinking of cholera
water , that Is , water Into which cholera
bacteria have found tholr way. Of course
there must bo first an importation of the
disease before the water can bo contami
nated. Where the water la originally
pure and is convoyed through close and
clean pipes there Is very little danger of
an extensive outbreak.
Suppressing Mutiny.
St. Louis Republican.
William H. Lytlo , the author of the
poem. "Tho Death of Anthony , "
that begins "I am dying , Egypt ,
dying , " [ was the man for
mutineers. At one time during the war
I was sent under his command with sev
eral pieces of light artillery , among them
two or thrao howitzers , in a brigade that
wont out on a raid some place near Shol-
byville , In Tennessee. When we started
out the wagons were used to carry the
soldiers' knapsacks , etc , and when wo
had gathered together what forage wo
wanted the wagons had to bo used to
carry It. Of conrsa the eoldlors then had
to carry their baggage , and when the
order was given to do this ono regiment
refused to obay and taid they would not
touch tholr knapsacks. Colonel Lytle
marched the men over to where the
knapsacks were and again ordered the
men to take them up. Again they re
fused. I was stationed on a little
eminence a short distance away , and presently
ently hero came Colonel Lytlo galloping
over to mo with his sabro out and his eyes
flashing.
"Captain Edgartoa , " ea'.dho ' , "will you
lot mo have those howitzers ? "
"Certainly , " I answered , and gave the
order for tie gnus to move.
Coming over right In front of the muti
neers , Colonel Lytlo gave the orders ,
"Attention ! Load with caunlstorl Take
aim ! " and then in an undertone bidding
the eunners await in readiness the word
"fire , " spoke to the mutineers , saying :
"You , take np
your knapsacks , or , by God , I'll wipe you
off the face of the earth ! " Not" a man in
the regiment moved , and Lytlo waited
folly a minute. "Now , d n you , " said
Lytlo , "I'll give you ono minute to pick
up those knapsack * ! " Slowly , first ono
and then another , and then a third , pick
ed np his knapsack , and before the mln-
ntr was up there was not a piece of
baggage on the ground.
Why Ho was Galled "Old lilolcory. "
Boston Budget ,
Gen. Jackson was known among the
soldiers who had served under him ass
"Old Hickory , " a sobriquet given 'him
dnrlng the Crook war His brigade was
making a forced march , without baggage
or tents , to surprise the Indians in one of
their villages , and were for several days
- and nights cxpoeod to the pollings of a
March ttorm , the rain freezing as it foil.
Gen. Jaikaon got a severe cold , but did
not complain , as ho tried to sleep in a
muddy bottom among his half-frozen
soldiers. Capt. Allen and his brother
John cut down a stout hickory tree , peel
ed off the bark and made a covering for
the Gfneral. who was with difficulty per
suaded to crawl in to It. The
- next morning a drunken citizen
entered the cimp and seeing
the tent kicked it over. As Jackson
crawled from the ruins the toper cried :
"Hollow , Old Hickory ; como out of your
, bark and jino us In a drink ! " Thence
forth the general was known In camp as
"Old Hickory , " and when ho was talked
of as a presidential candidate , the nick
name was adopted by his supporters.
The "liberty tree" of the revolution wss
. revived In the "hickory tree , " planted at
every country cross-roads by the onthu-
. lastlo democrats , while they sang :
Freeman , cheer the hickory tree.
