The outrage by Indians near Sheridan is paint-

the children were not abducted. as had been anp-
posed, but murdered, and their little bodics four
in number, cruelty mapgled, hays been discov-:
cred by further research. Tho bodies Of two
adults, in addition to those Of tho three before
discovered, were also found, feariuliy mutilated
and. manglcd. The fact of this hall dozen
OF victims being separated from those first found
Is accounted tor On the ground that they we're
dragged from where they had originally fallen by
wolves, and the bodies, especially those Of tho
children, all bore traces Of tho teeth Of their de-
vonrers, where the flesh was not torn entirely OF
their bones.

4, MUSCLE. The professor looked triumphant.
The sophomores suddenly ceased their shouts
Of dersion. and began to whistle '@Tommy
Doad.' The beer flowed on ont into the dark
ness, end then all was silent.
Just before the last drops wero flowing out
the boys thanked the professor very affection
ate'y, and the sarcastic tone OF the last speaker
ied the man Of letters to prick up his ears. By
that time, however. the last drop had passed
through tbs bung-hole. and long. loud thout
rose from under the window. The boys who
had kindly held the keg vAaislled and in another
minute hundred uni. dyed colleglans were
dancing about the fire, holding beer-mnga to
their lips. The professor was badly sold, for
the BOYS. with pals: had caught every drop Of
boer that had been poured ont Of tho second
story window, and the trick WAS heneeforth
registered rs one Of the most euccessful that
the college wits had ever perpetrated.

the backgrounds, for the magnitude OF which
they were largely indebted to tho fence-rails OF
the nelghborlng farmers, and while the coutla-
grafton was At its height, four Of the bova
started for the beer, without which no celebra-
ton Was ever known to be complete. Now, the
keg Of this necessary liquid, which had been
snusgied on the grounds in the dead OF tho
preced1og night. WAS stored directly over Prof.
Chester's room, and the edict had gono forth

the auspices of the Freshman class and tbe So
phornores had no sooner learned Of the soizure SCI m
than they filled the air with taunts. The Fresh
men deliberated, aud at length committee of
three tapped 1t the professors door.
"see here, professor" said the spokesman,
