alars Of the death Of Ink.pa.da.iah's son, III
that vicinity. When Il WAS tliscovered INT
several of the murderers were At Wood r.ke
about four miles OF, word was immediately sens
70 Major Nandrau Of the fact. Half dozen
friendly indiana were inmediately engaged n,
ascertain their exact location. A detachms1
OF eighteen soldiers vas then procured ftoc
Fort Ridgely; these were joined By several oehs
ers, both whites and friendly Indians. and thS
party proceeded directly 70 the ca,np Of tha
ao3ti.e Indians. The account then voes On -
say:
1t was probably after o'clock, Wednesday
morning, before the party reached the camn
where Ink-pa-da tabs son was; and they came
with such skill and CELEBRITY that, though Il was
broad day, in an open prairie country, the
mounted men surrounded the camp before any
person in 1t was aware of their approach. Be.
ing 70 few in number, the murderer made his
escape through their rank to the bank of Paiut
zee river, which was close by, and throwing
down his gun, plunged into the water and Law
there, holding bunch Of grass over liz head.
In the meantime the foot soldiers came up. and
Good.voice, one of the friendly Indians having
pointed out his situation, the balls began to tiy
about his head. He then left the water. and
taking bis gun, shot the powder horn from the
side Of one of the soldiers before he himself
was shot down."
The murderer Of Mrs. Noble was found At the
encampment Of Sleepy Eyes people. not three
miles from the residence Of Mr.. Williamson and
Mr. Riggs. Ink-pa-dutah's wife was taken nris.
oner, but it was thought prudent in Major FIan.
drau to liberate her. Ink pa. du.tah the father.
when last heard from, was with his band near
the Falls Of the Big Sioux river, on the western
borders Of Iowa. Mr.. w. concludes:
ut is the general opinion of Indians here
that when he hears of his sons death-wh;ch
he is likely to hear of before this reaches Won
his party will be in haste to aveage his death
Where they will strike no one can know. and so

soldiers IN pursuit OF them. / think tha, We

The NECESSITY OF Administration
men (says writer) advertise foI short time
after they commence business, and think that
is sufficient; others intermit advertising after
they have established flourishing business
by its aid. This is mistaken policy and bad
economy. From the moment house ceases
to advertise, however large its reputation and
standing, it begins to decline. The changes
are so rapid in this country, and the public
mind is so constantly occupied by new appli.
cans for its favor and its attention, that to be
out of the papers where every body seeks for
information on every subject, is to be forgot.
ten. The press is daily more and more
becoming a necessity, its usefulness as an
advertising medium is constantly increasing,
and no man is wise, or just to himself, who
undertakes to do business without availing
himself of its advantages. A word to the
wise is sufficient.
