Mr.. vincent CoIyel 'sRepIy to Gen
Sheridan--Ile Thinks the Gene
raj Strikes Wildly. at Him. fs

WASHINGTON, March 9.-The follow,
ing is the letter from MIR. Vincent Col
yer, in reply to Gen. Sheridan, on the
subject of the recent attack on the fndi
an camp and killing of number of wo-
men aud children: ~ Ia ysFlr SIR
Te Hon. Felix r. Brunot, Chairman, Pittsburg
SIR: Gen. Sheridan strikes out at me
almost as wildly as he did at the poor
Piegans, and with about as much justice.
He says that in my extract from Lieat.
Pease's report Of the massacre, ''in order
to do injustice to Col. Baker and to lie
ceive a kind hearted public,I suppressed
I the fact that Col Baker took 100 women
and children prisoners. II the Gene,
raj thinks it relieves the blackness of the
picture any to say that in addition to the
ninety women and fifty children sick
with the smallpox, killed, there were
100 women and children also taken pris-
oners, l will add it now Lieut. Pease,
l notice upon closer look, does not
make it quite so bad as that He says
there were eighteen women and nineteen
children (none over three years and the
majority much younger, some of whom
were wounded and were taken prisoners.
The General seems to quite forgetthat
the same Government which placed him
in command of the military of the West
appointed us to do our humane work
among the Indians, and virtually makes
it our duty to stand in front of these
helpless, outcast women. and children.
and to say to any one who may attack
them, cease your bloody work these are
not the guilty. ~ 3Eat
OF the outragcs- against the poor set
tiers Of the border, he says that | "want
it to 60 on" No, General, you know
that you are not justified in any such in
ference as this. Because Izpull aside the
cnrtain and let the American people see
what you call "great victory over the
Indians" it does not follow that We do
not want the men who perpetrated the
horrid crimes you portray with so much
zest justly punished. Strike, if you
must strike, the guilty. not the innocent.
Faithfully yours, VINCENT CoLYER.

ged the Dutchman's team all day, and
finally chased the man off and proceed
ed to unhitch the animal. While they
were SO engaged the Dutchman returned
with six-shooter, shot Bills partner in
the arm and ordered Bill away. Bill
stepped aside, and the Dutchman hit the
mule vicious cut with the revolver he
held in his hand. The pistol glanced
and was discharged, the ball cutting
through the Dutchman's clothes and stri-
king Bill just above the heart. Bill stood
motionless for a moment, with an ex-
preston of intense agony on his codn-
tenance, then clasped one hand upon
his breast, and sank upon one knee, then
upon the other, leaned to one side, and
fell over dead. Some of his friends
rushed for the body and seized his feet,
but it was too late-he died with his
boots on.

Among the sketches of several mem
bers of the United States Senate. fur.
nished by Washington correspondent
of the World, is the following:
"The head of the Democratic party in
the Senate-the Hon. A. G. Thurman, OF
Ohio-is one of the iron sort Of men.
Iron gray tinges his complexion; his
form, though not over-tall, is sinewy,
and his face is set and hard. There is
not so much fight as force in that man.
He does not strike, but cuts and presses
his way straight through what he would
accomplish. His Virginia birth is seen
in his thin, muscular form. If the next
fifteen years do not give him good
chance to make his own place in the
Democratic party, there will be some
wasted opportunity for Mr.. Thurman to
answer for.'' iis sale

There was glow of excitement on
the young mans face, as he sat beneath

crop. The ice which had formed up the
river all came down and passed out to the

that we will catch it next month. If we
should have cold weather, and any ice the
time will be too short to house much of it.,
as it takes over two weeks to cut and fill the

great expense in building extra ice houses,
