The Crusaders.

.1EfFEIsoNyILLE, Ind, February l6.-The
women's crusade against the whisky traffic
opened 10 day. Devotional exercises were
held at eight different saloons, and the
police protected the women from the jam
of the immense crowd that cOngregated at
each saloon. Business is partially suspend
ed and the streets are lined with citizens of
every class. The saloon keepers refuse to
sign the pledge.
The excitement over the movement in
this city has reached Louisville, and this
evening at least 1000 persons, mostly Ger
mans from that city, arrived here. Exer.
cises on the streets have been abandoned
for today. Divine service will continue in
the saloons to morrow.

the saloon keepers who have been wOrsted
are preparing to emlgrate.
The Indian Troubles.
OMAHA, February l6-The following was
received by General Ord, to-day, from
Fort Laramie: A messenger has just re-
turned from the agency. Dr. Saville,
agent, writes that the Northern Indians
have gone to Tongue river, and that
they alone have committed recent dep
relations; that the Oallallas have faith
fully guarded the agency since Frank
Appleton was killed, and that they will
prevent the Northern Indians from coming
to the agency or passing through this cOun-
try. He also states that the Indians who
shot Appleton were killed by the Brules,
who also recaptured the mules stolen by the
Minneconjous from Charles Gueren.
Agent Howard writes through Saville

agency. The party who killed Lieutenant
Robinson and a corporal consisted of Min
necOnjous, ArrapahOes and SOurcas.
Seven Indians we're seen a few miles from
