Black Kettle, head chief OF the Cheyenne nation,
reported killed by General Custer's command, was o
man of more than ordinary natural ability and has
held q distinguished position for years among the
tribes OF the West. He was more noted as leader
in council than as warrior, and many years ago
Iis age must have been zen, about aysix: he was the

General Harvey was presented with the boy Black
Kets and adopted MIN as MS son A. A. the
cumstance was not forgotten by either the General
or the Cheyenne chief. ana strong friendship was
renewed aud reciprocal presentation OF presents
took place. Black Kettle seemed 10 be In earnest In
his desire for peace, and appeared anxious to bring
into the council the treacherous "d0g sodiers,n
whose tomahawks were rocking with the blood Of
many innocent whites. He admitted that he had no
control over his young men, who went on the war
path In opposition to his advice and wishes, and to
tins cause IL doubtless owing the massacres ON the
Saline and Solomon rivers that have led TO the severe
punishment by the military OF the Cheyennes In
which the chief lost his life.

SHOOTING.

Shooting is remarkably good in all parts Of the
country and at the present time sportsmen are In
the height Of enjoyment In the West quail is par
tcularly abundant The California quail is said to
be very beautiful, but difficult to bring down.
Hunting deer Is now one Of the reigning sports Of
the West. The excitement Of a good deer hunt can
only be appreciated by those who participate in the
SPORT and many are now doing so. There are many
difficulties attending deer hunt for while the ami
NAL is Instantly started by slight motion It has
very keen sense of smell, and although the hunter
may approach him unseen it is almost impossible for
him to get within good range when the wind Is blow
ing from him In the direction OF the animal. When
the deer discovers the motion OF the hunters ride 1t
does not run Immediately, but innocently looks up
in an iuquiring manner. That Ii the critical mo-
ment OF life or death for the deer. The hunting this
season promises well.

twenty United States bonds from II. A. Helser's

rived on Tuesday.
The magistrate remarked that the practice OF de-
tanning prisoners at police headquarters was rep
rehensble and u was one that should be stopped,

ton OF persons accused OF crime.
