They lifted him, and Downie was dead!
: Fright had killed him as effectually as if the
axe of real headsman had severed his head
from his body.
It was tragedy to all. The medical stu.

~ ~ One Of their number told the landlord that

left in the room to be disturbed for some hours.

inquiry was instituted, but no satisfactory re-

OF the Legs alive Assembly of Minnesota Territory
to Congress, for an appropriation TO complete the
Government Works at Fort Ridgey.
To The Senate anil House Of Representatives. Of the
United States:
The Memorial of the Legis latve Assembly of the
Territory OF Minnesota respectfully represents, lst
That the present and probable permanent concenra-
ton of the Sioux Indians the Upper Minnesota
River in connection with the probable location of the
Wnnebagoes in the same vicinity, and the hostilities
which will in all human probability continue to exist
between the Sioux and Chippewa and other nei gh-
boring tribes, demand that pei manent military post
should be maintained the line of the white and
Indian settlements for the protection both Of the whites
and the Indians.
I'd. That Fort Ridgley has been located at point
well adapted to the purposes for which it intend
ed by government being the eastern boundary of
the Sioux reservation, from which point troops can
with facility he spread the Sioux country, OF
among the bands of wandering Indians located near
the Missouri river, can lie connected with the
troops at Fort Ripley the Mississippi for the sup.
preston of hostties punishment Of offenders in
the Chippewa country. -si....
Sd. That the occupancy OF Fort RidgIev rs "A per-
manent post at which mounted force shall at all
times be stationed for the purpose of electng speedy
operations among the surrounding tribes, would tend
overawe those tribes and thus prevent hostile at
tacks upon the whites, and suppress warfare among
the tribes themselves, is deemed of much importance
to the interests OF this Territory, and of the general
government, thereby the settlement of the country
would be facilitated, and peace and safety of the
settler secured.
4th. That the appropriation made by Congress for
the construction of Fort Ridgey, insufficient for
the completion of the work the plan adopted by
the War Department, and works commenced have OF
necessity been abandoned, and useless for
want OF funds for their completion.
9Th. That Fort RidgIey is the most important mil
i,ary post within this Territory, and the expenditure
of "a compa, atvely small appropriation in the COM
pleton oi the works on the plan upon which they
were commenced, would secure to the government a
safe, comfortable, and convenient point at which
troops could at all times be concentrated in case Of
hostles with among the surrounding Indian tribes.

~ ask Your honorable bodies to make an appropria-
t,oh oil twenty thousand dollars, to be expended in
the completion OF Fort Ridgley in Minnesota Terri.
