A VICTORY Foil CHICAGO.
Justice Hnrlun Renders a Decision In
, the Imko Front Cases.
Cmoiqo , Fob. 23. Justice Harlan read an
opinion in the United States circuit court this
afternoon disposing- three coses affecting
the ownership and possession of the lake
front. The decision is regarded as a sub
stantial victory for the people of Chicago and
the state as against the Illinois Central rail
road wnnpany. The prevailing opinion fs
that It will stand , and that the Illinois Central
has been confirmed m all the rights it was
entitled to.'whlla the people have been pro
tected from unjust encroachments. The
inllroad company's main contention that it
owned- ono mile in width of the bed
of the city's . harbor , is sot aside.
The riparian'rights remain in the city with
the consent of the state , not only as to the
natural shore , but" where filling in has been
done on n largo scale by the railroad. The
jtillrouil U shown to bo the owner of all the
water lota in front of which depots , piers , etc. ,
have been built and that the government 1ms
no title to the ground described in the infi/V-
nmUon except so far us it seeks to protect the
harbor agulnst obstruction. The property
claimed by the railroad extends some niiiff
thousand feet beyond the line of the govern
ment breakwater , established at the
outer harbor. A modest estimate of
the rights claimed by the rail
road places their valua at $100,000,000.

A Bookless Drive * Ilttni Over I a Ten-
Year-Old Girl.
There Is nojardltiaflco In the city code vlo-
ntcd as much ns the ono against fast drlv-
ng. On busy days the street crossings are
absolutely daHgerou * on account of the legion
of reckless drivers who dash down the streets
to the peril of nil pedestrians crossing the
streets. There Imvo been u number of acci
dents recently on nccount'of this criminal
carelessness , nnd'yesterday another victim , iv
Ittlo girl of ten years , was added to the list ,
nnd showlllbo cilpplcd for life. Her name
s Jessie Bush , the daughter of Charles
Bush , who lives nt Orchard Hill. She was
on the cast Hide of Sixteenth street uiul was
: roislug Davenport going north , when Henry
Sharp came driving at full sjiccd from the
south and turned east on Daveniwrt. The
jnck of the little girl was toward the horses
nnd she was not aware of their approach.
Sharp did not slacken his speed In the least ,
jut grimly watched his team knock the littio
'lrl down , trample her under foot , and
ot the wheels of his vchlclo past over her.
The thighbone of the left leg was broken
nnd so badly splintered that thcro nro doubts
of the bone-over knitting suMcicntly to bear
ni'ch weight , She was * also otherwise
jruiscd. The piercing screams of the child
ittracted n largo crowd , who expressed great
ndlgnation for the manner in which she was
injured. She wan picked up tenderly and
: arried Into Korsyth's drug store , where the
jrokcn , member .was put In splints. About
mlf an hour afterwards Sharp was arrested
ind put behind the bms at the central sta
tion. The police say that this oflcnso is n
common onu of Sharp's , and by his tecklcss
driving' ho bus run over no less than four per
sons within the past few weeks. He Is a

. AMU8KMENIS.
llamons' "New Fatitnsinn" Greeted by
a Tremendous Crowd.
The Hnnlon Brothers' "New Fantosma"
drew an Immense audience at Boyd's opcrn
house last evening. Standing room was at a
premium.t Every scat in the house was occupied
t
pied when'tho curtain rung up on the first
act. Everybody was delighted , for "Fan-
tasma" Is a spectacular feast , garnished with
astounding -illusions and set , off with the
most unique staco effects. lii all respects it
is a novel productiqn ot the thost attractive
description , and in familiar to Omaha
theater goers , having been witnessed at
the same theater last season. Thora
nre many changes , however , nnd some now
and decidedly clever innovations have been
added to this year's production. The quar
ters of Zamabicl , at the bottom of the sea , is
a thrilling scene , an idea borrowed from ouo
of Vorno'singoinous novels. ' It i < wondrously
effective , its numberless 'transformations
being as fine as any ever put on any stage.
Ono of the most striking features is the nat
ural way in which the monsters of the deep
move aboutamong the performers in their
aqueous abode. It is an extremely
realistic bit of mechanical engineering ,
and never fails to cvoko ' thunders
of applause , The famous Phoitcs appear in
various roles as nymphs and'sprites , and are
remarkably clever. Laura Burt is a pretty
girl , with a graceful , well rounded form , and
makes a charming fairy queen. Her songs
were repeatedly encored. The "Italian
Girl" is her best it is capital. Littio Tootsy ,
the juvenile clown , made his usual hit. Tha
whole performance is interspersed with
tableau-vivants and is altogether immensely
taking. _
SINNERS AND SALVATIONISTS.
They Come to Blows nnd an. Army
Mini Slugged.
The checkered history of the _ Salvntion
army was varied last evening with a littio
genuine blood and actual fights with the
enemy. During the course of the war songs
and battle cries of the doughty Salvationists
some scoffing votaries of the enemy's camp
were present and made a mockery of the war
like demonstrations. The intruders were
promptly drummed out of camp with moro
force than politeness , and thirsting for revenge -
vengo they laid In ambush for the Salvation
ists. The first warrior who appeared was
Stringer , a common private , who was mis
taken for the captain and was assailed by ono
of the gang , called "Charley. " Charloa was
moro than a match for Stringer ana ho
pounded , him. up pretty badly , smashing his
nose and leaving both of his eyes in mourn
ing. Stringer informed the police offlccis
of the assault and Intcndr swearing out a
warrant this morning for "Charley's" ar
rest.
rest.Tho other disturbance was kicked up by
Wilson Llhdly , a chronic disturber of the Sal
vation army barracks , who for similar of
fenses has been arrested some three or four
times. Last night , just outsldo the door , ha
had a row with ono of the pickets , who re
fused to lot him into camp. Lludlythcn
tried the force of blows , when he was col
lared by OfUccr Cullcu and marched off to
tha guard house to await tha court martial of
Judge Bcrka this morning.
A Hard Hand to Travel.
Frequenters of the Union Pacific depot
must have noticed a foreign-looking woman ,
accompanied by two small boj s , who sat In
gentleman's waiting room for the last two
days , apparently oblivious to her surround
ings. A fc\v quilts rolled up and a faw small
packaccs of edibles were her only luggage ;
but she seemed to bo contented and without
care. When the midnight trains arrive she
is still there , stretched out on the hard station
floor , but fonretful of everything in sleep.
She Is the wife ot a Bohemian minor in
Colorado , and has traveled alone from Penn
sylvania to meet him , bat her funds are ex
hausted and her trunks are. lost. She her
self has a ticket to her destination and is
awaiting the arrival of Uer trunks to nlodgo
them as security for the passage of her boys
to their father's homo , but in the meantime
she Is putting up \ ith hardships that would
make a strong'man weaken. The Union Pa-
citla ofllcials .are kindly allowing her the
shelter of the depot in the meantime.
ProvcdThoy Wore Not Vagrants.
Just a wecR ago the Bid published the
troubles of "L. C. Taylor' and Myron E.
Croukhito , Who had been sentenced to sixty
days imprisonment ast vagrants , with tha
first and last ten * days on bread and water.
Through tho'Offorts of their attorneys , how
ever , they secured a reheating yesterday ,
and when they produced affidavit 3 from some
of the best known residents in Council Bluffs ,
they wore at once and honorably dis
charged. Their case scorns to bo a hard
ono. Traveling " 'us . they wcro with
all their capital ( some ? 700) ) invested in maps ,
on reaching Omaha they wore run in by an
intelligent policeman on the clwreoof having
coulldcnccd an ignorant foreigner out of $70.
There was nothing to substantiate the charge ,
however , nnd it was dropped , only to make
room for another of vagrancy . ' That , too , was
dismissed yesterday , and they find them
selves out for very heavy legal expenses , and
two weeks lost time. They will lay their
case before the city council in the hope of
being reimbursed for the money expended.

The committee on buildings of the board
of education held a three hours' talk with
the various architects of the accepted school
buildings lost evening. The main object for
which the meeting was called was to discuss
the ventilation and other sanitary features of
the new buildings. The committee , however ,
did not confine themselves to this , but modi
fied the proposed size and arrangement ol

The Prodigal Son.
Interest in the lectures to men only at
Trinity cathedral by Dean Gardner has in
creased with each service this week. Lost
night the subject chosen was . "Hepentanco , "
the discourse being based on the parable of
the "Prodigal Son. " There was u largo nud-
lenco present , which included u number of
visiting clergymen of the city. Nearly the
entire congregation remained at an after
service conducted by the dean. The subject
chosen for this evening's IcctUro is "Pardon. "
The mission is proving of unexpected inter
est and great good will undoubtedly result
from the efforts of Doim Gardner.
Jumped Their Board.
Mrs. J. A. Bain , a widow , keeps a board
ing house nt 1911 Douglas street. Recently
she has had a preponderance of typcstickors.
Several of them have jumped their bills , and
Mrs. Bain is much aggrieved. Wtrt Baiid
nnd William Hyatt are the most recent of
fenders. They left unpaid accounts aggre
gating S4.4.50 , and the woman says she kept
Hyatt from starving and. .freezing this win
ter. She has sent their accounts' to their re
spective homes in Ohio , and 'Iowa , anil will
probably receive a draft the first ono In
from the northwest for the amount. '

gave a ball in the exposition hall , some
weeks ago , for the benefit of tha national
land lenguo fund , netted the magnificent sum
of WOO , which has been sent to Dr. Olieilly

Arthur Lynn writes In the Minneapo
lis Tribune : Todd , Hamlnll , Captain
Raymond , Chnrlia Oureau nnd old man
Bleonotto had married Into the Bnilo
Sioux tribe nnd htul lived with the In
dians many years previous to 1870.
They wcro men of more than ordinary
intelligence nnd neveivinorc contented
or-happy than when rotating their ex
perience on the frontier among Indians ,
especially when n ( jig brown jug und a
tumbler were Imndy. I carried a jug
ncross the Missouri river ortco that
proved how much these usually modest
men could relate of wars , raids , fights
and hair lifting when they were in the
right humor.
It was from these four men and James
Bordcau , who had a ranch opposite the
Spotted Tail ngoncy , that I got the un
doubted proof that gold existed In the
Black Hills. Mr. Bordeau waa in com
mand of the Amorictm Fur company's
trading post now called Fort Laramiq
when Fremont flrstcrossed the plains.
Ho stopped with Mr. Bordcau for sev
eral days , who was , when I talked with
him , a traveling history of the north
west from 1840 up to that time , 1870.
Mr. Bordcau informed mo that Indi
ans had time and again brought speci
mens of gold into the trading post , but-
would nover'dlvulgo the locution of the
Ihul. Ho determined to find out. Ho'
bribed a young Indian named Euglo
Claw , who was very much attached to
him for saving his life while down with
the smallpox , to follow the returning
hostilcs to their camp , under guise of
living among them'nnd find out tbo
secret of the warlike Brules and Minne-
conjus. Eagle Claw proved faithful to
his trust and returned. Ho was under
penalty of death , bound to keep secret
all he had been. Ho described the loca
tion of the hostiles as on a river that
was going to meet the sun iu the morn
ing , which Mr. Bordeau determined
must bo the south branch of the Chey
enne river. Eagle Claw described , after
hesitating for a long time , the torture
of three white men who had been caught
in the foothills of , $ h mountains. The
poor fellows had DRC/H surprised and lit
erally filled with arrows before they had
a chance to defend 'themselves. Their
guns were not wiflfyi reach just at the
moment they werdMiocded , nnd the mea
wore soon bound 9.itives. They were
disabled , one in both , legs , the others
in body and arnjsii The Indian de
scribed the torturotwith burning sticks ,
hot arrow uointb inid mutilations. He
told of their unflinchlne : bravery , stand
ing up to the stoker with fael teeth and
flushing eyes , until the cruel flrente into
the vital spot , that hold them up , then
the roasted flesh andjioncsof the defiant
face butn few moments before , dropped
on to the roasting breast nnd all was
over. Mr. BordeaVifmauo many fruitless -
loss attempts to { J9tjtho record of the.
men , but everything Ufyd been burned.
The Indians had no knowledge of
mining , but had learned to examine
the streams from their surprising miners
at work , and afterwards killing thoin.
and getting their outfits. The other
four inon RauduU. Raymond , Gurouu
and Bisonette had also personal knowl
edge that there was plenty of gold in
the Black hills having gone there often
with lodge polo parties and on hunting
trips , but wcro never allowed to do any
prospecting , only what could bo done
by the utmost caution to deceive the
Indians. From all this assurance , I de
termined on ray return to Yankton , to
publish all the facts and create u grand
rush. '
Out of all the hundreds who wanted
to go , only twenty-eight could bo mus
tered at Sioux City when the pinch
camo. This list included Mrs. Tallont
nnd her twelve-year-old boy , wife and
son of a member of the expedition. She
was the first white woman who got into
the hills , not n captive. On the Oth
day of October , 1874 , this littio band of
heroes crossed the Missouri river at
Sioux City and headed northwest for
the hills. After crossing the Niobrara
river they entered the great Sioux res
ervation. Their course was over a wild ,
howling wilderness of dcsohitlan until
they were fortunate enough to strike
Ouster's trail and followed It to a point
on French creek , whore a stockade was
erected and clo o to where the present
Custer City now stands. The trip oc
cupied two months and seventeen days ,
and no Indians mot. Their route and
time was chosen judiciously. The stock
ade erected was bOxOO nnd solidly built.
About the middle of Juno ! , men
started for the hills by Sidney , Neb.
When forty miles north of the Platte
river they were arrested and brought
back and sent to Cheyenne. Captain
Moynahnn , In command at Sidney ,
used his unfortunate prisoners in a
brutal manner. Following on the heels
of this outrage came another still moro
brutal nnd inhuman Captain Walker ,
of the First infantry , stationed nt Fort
Randall , was sent out to overhaul u
largo party going Into the hills by the
Niobrarn route. His command came up
with the pioneers near Rosebud creek ,
about midway between Randall and the
hills. Walker was a fina looking soldier -
dior , and nothing in his make up or
style would indicata.Ithat ho would vol
untarily misuse the ( captives , who num
bered over 200 , andlcduld have licked
the soldiers , but dlfllft { want to nrouso
Uncle Sam. CnptiM1. "Walker burned
wagons , clothing an f personal effects
belonging to the entire party , then
marched them boqki to Fort Randall ,
putting them across tto > Missouri river
and turned them idoie. They were a
sad and dishoartdfi&d crowd when
they reached Yankton. * This put a
dumper on all other"ptxrtics who wanted
to go to the hills. Tli'is brief outline of
the early and unsuccessful efforts to
gain a permanent foothold brings us.up
to another trial by inou who fought , suf
fered and died. > niS
Just before Captnln'1'Walker had cap
tured hlb 200 victlmsahotber party had
secretly organized on the cast side of
the Missouri river near where the
llourishinz city of Chamberlain now
stands. They were all frontiersmen and
posted. Their outfit consisted of three
wagons loaded with supplies and tools ,
each wagon being hauled bv a strong
mule team. The river was crossed jufet
below old Fort Lookout ; Major Lyman
was in command , and the other mem
bers were Jim Somers , Louis Bordeau ,
Hank Jones , Lore Pattce , Gus Willis.
Big Parker , Follicia Fnllis , Poker Bill
Williams , Jim Ellis. Bill Jones and
Tom Platt. At daylight they broke
camp and away they wont- This thrill
ing narrative of their march , lighting ,
death and retreat I got from Jim Somers ,
as Major Lymun would never talk of the
horrors of thp trip. Ills success in all
previous frontier oxpurioncos hadboon ,
so marked that this disastrous oefcat
overshadowed everything. I haa to
promlsoQVCV to publish the true Btnto-
mcnt imtlho and -Soinors were dead.
Jim Sorters died near Brulo Cltv In 1870
or 1877 , nnd the account of Lyman'd
death I sent the Tribune , which was
published last week , Seniors was second
end In command. Hero's the story :
' 'I did not look for much trouble until
wo slruck the trails loading from the
C'hoycnno and Grand River agencies to
Red Cloud's big camp at Pine Ridge , as
wo wcro taking a course midway be
tween them. Our first three days nnd
nights were passed nil right. After
leaving the Missouri wo passed the head
of Medicine river on a south westerly di
rection to reach the White river at or
near Two Tail creek. Following up the
river for two days nnd making good
time , wo concluded to change our direc
tion to strike the liond of Wakpa
Shiclin or Bad river , which wo reached
on the night of the third day out , hav
ing inado only ono dry camp ( without
water ) on the crossing. On the morn
ing of the fourth day , Fnllis ; who had
the last watch , rushed down from a
feinall butte where ho had .stood guard
the bettor to overlook the country , and
calmly stated : 'Boys , wo'ro In for it.
Our trail has boon discovered by a war
party , judging from their appearance
and actions. '
* 'Ottr judgment was right. Wo
reached Whlto rlvnr , placed pickets
and wore ioon'nslccp. Before break of
day we were all ready for the expected
attack. It didi t como. Our lookout
could got a fair view of the country up
and down on both sides. There was
nothing to indicate the presence of the
enemy not even the appearance of a
startled bird. Wo were about ready to
start out and were discussing the move-
monttwhon , like a thunder clap out of
a clear sky , came the report of rilles ,
'Jump cover , boys , they have got us ,
d n 'cm , exclaimed Lymau. It took
but an instance to realize our position.
The llrst , volley did its fatal work. Poor
Ellis nm } Pratt were down and ono mule
was badly injuicd. Wo dis
covered at once that wo wcro ambushed
in the rear. Every imui hold to his
protection for five minutes or moro ,
thougli .It scorned nn hour. Not a shot
haa been flrod by us , nor had the In
dians exposed their position after their
first fatal volley.
" ' ' said 'I fear In
'Boys , Lyman , wo are
a trap. There must be Indians above
and below us , or they would never have
tried this dcpporato game. '
"Fallis proposed a plan to uncover the
concealed fee which was for three to
go up and then down the river and the
other four towards the river , cut a hole
in a hat and fasten n piece of this twine
to it. When wo hu o got our positions ,
run the twine over a twig or anything
that \yill do to hoist the hut up. Then
take your position on cither bide aim
pull th'o string , raising the hat' slowly ,
as if on a man's head. Those who go
towards the river will draw fire first.
Then look out for both sides. 'I think , '
said Fallis , 'that wo can uncover the
brutes and got oven with them. I tried
it on a cowardly Pawnee once nnd got
his huir , ' Wo scattered and got our
hoisting apparatus fixed and took posi
tion well ott on cither side , Lyman ,
Fallis and Big Parker and myself faking
the river front. ' Wo got a position-near
where Ellis fell dotid and rigged the
hat. I held the hiring and moved
off about ten feet and pulled
the hat up ' gradually .and
dropped it a little to make
it seems like a man rising and showing
his head. I drew the hat up oven with
the brush , when bang came a dozen or
moro bullets. Down went the hat , and
in an Instant a coupio of yells from the
brush on the river bank told that our
shots had hit. This rapid firing and
yells mingled with shouts told us that
the Indians on our flanks were uncov
ered also , for bang , bung , wept the guns
of our boys , with , the certainty that
another Indian was hit. I pulled up
the hat again a littio more cautious ,
and our shots counted again on ono In
dian , at least. Things began to work
in oUr favor pretty well. Lyman
crawled back and called iu u man each
from the flanks , and thus reinforced wo
concluded to force Ike fight on the
river , as a retreat uqrobs tlio river
would give us big odds. Wo had the
Indians well located and judged there
wcro ten'or fifteen of them. The brush
along the bottom'was favorable for our
approach on cither flank of the savages ,
never dreaming that wo would tackle
them in &uch a manner. There wcro
three on each flank. Lyman'a party
was to open firbt , and my crowd was to
take advantage of what turned up.
"Our Schema worjcod like a charm.
Lyman and his two men commenced an
indiscriminatejmmning of lead into the
brush whore tholndiuuswereconccalcd.
The attack was a surprise , besides the
bullets caused the Indians to move , then
wo got a chance , an'd , by thunder , wo
gave it to thorn hot. Both our parties
were firing at the point of an angle
where Mr. Indian was concealed. Ono
Indian jumped up and fallback with n
yell of defiance. Our work was countIng -
Ing and wo crowded the now thoroughly
aroused1 foe. Ono tall minted devil
broke for the river but ho didn't get
there. Then two more started , both
reached the water but ono was wounded.
Lyman yelled out in Sioux , which wo us
well as the Indians understood , 'clo o
in , give 'envholll' Wo did , but Parker
got an ugly wound In the loft shoulder.
At thjs stnpo of the game , the Indians '
became" , convinced .that they were
whipped , bq ldo's having tha river behind -
hind them. They gave it to us hot for
a few minutes and then broke in a wild
stampede for the water.
"We hud lost Ellis and Platt. Parker
was badly wounded , but not fatally.
Two of our six mules were gone , and
in twenty hours wo would bo hopelessly
hemmed in and death nnd butchery
would wind us up , If wo stayed very
long in our present camp. It was then
about 5 o'clock. Itvas decided to got
supper and cross the river , and make a
bee line for Nebraska. Wo repacked
the three wagon loads into two , leaving
out extra grub and mining tool a nnd pre
pared for light hiurching order. As
soon us It was dark wo moved tbo"
wagons v down to the river , which was
ensily forded , wo buried our comrades
without ceremony and bade farewell to
the cursed hole. We had nothing to
fear from the Indians that night , nor
would they likely attack us again until
reinforced. Our only hope was a rapid
retreat. Of course wo hadn't any idea
of the bitter hostile attitude of the entire -
tire Soux nation ; as wo afterward
learned. After getting safely across the
river wo marched as nearly duo south as
wo could , Wo Boon struck n creek and
continued our march on the ridge all
night. At daybreak wo could BOO a high
butte several miles in advance. This
wo mndo for as rapidly us our mules
could travel.
"Tho sun was scorching hot and our
poor animals wcro suffering for water.
About noon our pursuers approached
our locution to inspect , They could see
the thrco men on top of the butte , but
wo were out of sight. The Indians had
no knowledge of our numbers now , as
they know they had killed some in the
fight and couldn't toll how many wo had
to begin with as our numbers were con
cealed. They were going to fool our
position , OB they rode around the butte
out of ran go and again halted in front
of our ravine. They know if they
could stampede our stock they had ua
dead to rights , The hour lor iho final
struggle wna at hand nnd everyone
know his duty. The Indians divided
their forces again , one-half going to
the opjioslto sldo of the butte and dis
mounting. They were going for Ly-
mnn and his two men on top. The
mounted lmlf > were going to tnko
chances and stampede our stock , think
ing porhups that the thrco men on top
were all that was loft of our force. They
also know that ono moro night's march
would bring us pretty close to Missouri.
It was their last chance and ours
also. They wanted our blood nnd
scalps ; wo were equally as anxious for
theirs , . Thcro was u mutual fooling on
this point. Our foes numbered twenty-
six and our fighting foico was tun. Par
ker could still shoot , but a slight jar
was terrible. Ho was game nnd full of
rovcngo. Lymnn had taken the extra
rlllcs with him. The struggle began.
"Tho mounted , painted demons , with
a howl of rage , made a bold and four
loss dash for the ravlno , but aldonly
circled right and loft in splendid stylo.
Wo watched their every motion , but
kept perfectly quiet , having judged
their plan to draw our fire if there was
anyone concealed in the ravlno. They
know of the men on the butte tops aild
that our stock was In the ravlno , and
that was all. The first srtlly was for the
dismounted bucks to attack Lyman. as
wo soon heard his gun talking. Tnon
the mounted bucks prepared for a regu
lar charge in dead earnest. On they
came like Hying devils , pouring their
bullets into the ravine as they came.
Wo answered not until they got within
a hundred feet , when I gave the
signal. Seven good bullets wont
out to meet a mark , and
our repeaters were handled with
a rapidity that astonished the devils.
Thrco ponies wcKoJiit 'and two Indians
dropped before they got to my position.
They charged over us , killing poor
Parker and shooting mo through the >
cheek ; see . ( pointing to an ugly scar. )
Willis got a bullet in his hip , and I
jumped for the brush. Willis was unable -
able to movo. I and my four unharmed
men in the brush turned our guns on
the howling devils who werounublo , to
stampede our stock , but drove1 them In
to a huddle. They turned like a whbol
and charged out ngain. Wo had point
blank range and gave it to Tom strong.
Wo got three dead and ono wounded
buck and pony. They picked up their
two dead bucks first killed as they re
treated , displaying splendid horseman
ship and courage. Poor Willis got an
other bullet through his body as the In
dians rode over him. Ho was still liv
ing but fast going. I handed him my
knife nnd ho crawled over to the
wounded buck who had boon shot
through from side to sldo and was un
able to do moro. Willis sunk his knife
into the Indian und rolled over on his
back with bavago satisfaction in
eyes. Their spirits went out together
to war no more.It was a savage pic
ture but such was satisfaction.
"The attack on Lyman had failed ;
but'one ' Indian was lett to pay the pen
alty of their desperate attempt. Ly-
man's men had not suffered , nor could
they fire well down the stoop bluff. The
Indians were thoroughly whipped , and
our escape was now certain if "no fresh
bucks got in our way. Our loss was four
and my wound. The Indians lost seven
in this fight nud five in the fight on
White river. Wo also lost two ponies
and another mulein the charge. The
Indians dre < v off and camped. Wo t ot
supper and prepared for a rapid night
march. As spon as it was dark wo
mounted and stole away very quietly.
After putting about three miles between
us and our thoroughly savage foes wo
started on a gallop until we felt safe
that the Indians could not track us at
our speed. We marched" all night ,
striking Whetstone crook nt daylight ,
down which wo rode and camped on the
old Whetstone agency , then deserted.
It was then agreed to separate and go
homo , denying our oiTort to go to the
hills our loss. In fact , we were deter
mined to cover up our defeat ns far as
actual facts were concerned ! Wo all
had Indian wives , and it was uot safe to
lot the matter get out. But' take our
trip as a whole , it was the closest call
for hair all around that I over got into.
Nothing but our good luck saved us ,
coupled with our thorough knowledge
of the brutes we had to contend with. "

Tbo Cattle Business In Wyoming.
Chicago Mail : Three years ugo Wyo
ming territory stood next to Texas as a
cattle country. Fortunes wore mudo
fast In the business , und u Wyoming cattle
tlo man was only another name for a
man who was a millionaire , or who
would bo ono inside pf two years. "Why ,
'
two years ago you co'uldn'tthrowastono
in Choyonnu without hitting a rich man.
To-day you would have to look.around a
spell to find ono. Tlio cattlemen made
stock , companies out of thoir.hords and
sold the atock at fancy prices , I reckon.
It wna understood in the oust that the
dividends were enormous , nnd in order
to meet the expenses and the demands
for dividends those companies wore , in
many instances , obliged to soil' all of
their cattle down to yearlings , when
they shouldn't have boon sent to the
market until thoy.wofo four-year-olds.
That colncs about as'noar to killing the
goose that lays the golden eggs as any
thing can in those times.
Then the cattlemen bucrun to fence in ,
the earth. Government land was ac
quired by every pretence possible under ,
the laws , and other land was fenced
just taken , you know ; A lot of eastern
fellows , and English dudes came in ,
draw big salaries from the cattle com-
panlos and cut abigdash. It actually got
to bo a common sluht to sea ono of these
awkward chaps riding abobtullod hor&o ,
with a littio English saddle , und
rigged up with whlto topped boots , a
whip hnndlo without a lush , und'nll the
fixings and trappings of regular British
swells. They paralyzed the coy boys nnd
old timers with amazement at firbt , but
wo got used to It after a time and just
lot thorn go it. Inside of two years
Cheyenne became the most English
town in the United States. The tondor-
fcet cuttlomon cut a wldo swuth , too.
There was a'sot" of thobo chuni.
They affected the society of the Engllsn-
mon , built fine residences ol ! in ono
corner of the city , and put on moro
style than u pilgrim eating with a fork.
The crush came last summer , and the
thing isn't pver with yet. The Swans ,
who were about the biggest cattlemen
of the United States , sold out to an
English syndicate for $2,000,000 , and
failed last summer. It has como the
hardest on the old timers ; the men who
settled In the country in the onrlv days
and worked up. These were plain sort
of men , nnd were led on by the dush
and brilliancy of the new comers. Some
of them were badly pinched , und every
body is sorry for thorn.
