While the Pine County News was in

Crosby and Pine county jury they sue

details of financial scheme pushed to
success by this bonanza OF rogues, wor'

the house was unshinglod. unooarded'

MURRAY'S STALLIO rs.

New York Sun Report Of Guilford tCon.) Fair.]
The Rev. Mr.. Murray, who was the
great man Of the hour, stepped down from
the hall, where he had been addressing
his townspeople and telling them that 1t
was the duty of good citizens to raise good
pumkins and to breed good horses, but
toned on his gloves, and mounted us
light driving wagon.
"G'lang!" said the author Of the "Per-
feet Horse The handsome bays start
ed utf at $50 gait. Mr.. Murray sped
his two noted stations, Live Oak and Alb
dallah, twice or thrice around the square,
handling the lines with taste snd judg-
ment. The people Of Guilford looked on
approvincly. but the local clergymep
shook their heads and sighed.
The Rev. Mr.. Murray's stock farm IS
one Of the finest in America, Is about 8
miles from Guiliord Village. on the bor-
der of the Madison. The townspeople
have genuine respect for Mr.. Murray as
a stock breeder. He is exceedingly
liberal in his dealings with his neishbors,
and has done much to improve the breed
of horses in the vicinity. As the editor
of religious journal they know less OF him.
Some Of them have heard of his news
paper, and some have seen it; but the
prevailing impression in Guilford seems
to be that the Golden Rule is another
stallion Of Mr.. Murray's purchasing.
Mr.. Murray had offered SIS in prizes

animals progeny were gathered for the

The Secretary Of the Interior on the
Black Hills.

Secretary Chandler's report to Con-
gress contains the following on the
Black Hills problem:
The failure of the negotiations for
the REIMBURSEMENT uf the Black Hills
necessItuIes the adoption OF some mesl-
sures to relieve The Department OF the
great eIubarruss menL resulting from
the evident determination Uf IA large
number of citizens la enter upon that
portion OF the Sioux reservation To
obtain the precious metals which the
official report OF the geologisL sent out
by the Department shows To exist
therein. The very measures now taken
10y the government To prevent the
influx OF miners into the Black Hills,
by means vi the display OF military
force III that neighbOrnOOd, operate as
tue surest saieg uard of The miners
against the attacks of Indians. The
army eXpels tile miners, and, while
uOIug so, protects them from Indians.
The miners return Us soon as the
military surveillance is withdrawn,
and the same steps are taken again
and again. Some OF the mluers have
brought suits against the military
officers for false imprisonment, and
much embarrassment To both the
Army and the Interior Departments is
the result. The preliminary report of
Prof Jenney, which accompanies the
report of the Indian Commissioner in
regard to the geological and agricul-
tural wealth of the Black Hills, indi-
Gates clearly the great temptation neld
out To emigrluts and miners to occupy
that country, and will greatly enhance
the difficulties which have already
surrounded the question of protecting
the Sioux in their treaty rights to that
territory. The opening OF the next
summer season will undoubtedly wit
ness u great increase OF emigration
thither, and the question urges itself
upon the attention of the Department
and of Congress for early solution. 1t
is true that the Indians occupy that
reservation under the provisions of II
treaty with the United States. 1t is
also true, rs a general proposition,
that treaties should be maintained in-
violate, aud the Indians protected In
their rights Hereunder. But for two
years the government has been up-
prnpriatiig about 81 80, 900 for the
subsistence of the Sioux of various
tribes, which amount is gratuity that
the government is under no legal Obli-
CATION to give them, and for which ii
receives no cumpensating advantage.
The amount thus appropriated is five
per cent per annum of S25. .OOO, 900,
which the government is giving with
out an equivalent. This amount must
he annually given them for some years
to come, or they will starve. 1t is
submitted, therefore. under these cir
cumstances, for the consideration Of
Congress, whether 1t would not be
justiiiable and proper to make future
appropriations for supplies to this
people contingent on their relinquish-
ment of the gold fields in the Black
Hills and the right of way thereto"

riot ut Rolling Fork, in Issaquera

On Saturday Nov. 9th party of
negroes had assembled at the village
and were drinking and carousing,
when one of them pushed a youth -,
whom he met in the streets, to one
side, using rough language at the same
time. The youth responded with a
pocket knife, infiicting scalp wound
on the negro, and then fled to store
for safety. The remaining negroes
became very much excited and vowed
vengence. To prevent this, warrant
was obtained for the arrest of the
youth, charging him with an assault
with intent to kill, but before it could

store and beat young Laird severely
with an iron bar, and finally one of
them shot him in the thigh. At The
report of the pistol the negroes ran,
but the whites, who had begun to
assemble, fearing n general riot, pur-
sued them and captured ten of them
and took them to the village and
placed them in u stnrehouse and put a
guard over them. During the night
one of the guard, not upon duty, came
out on the porch with a gun on his
shoulder and was ordered away by the
sentinel on duty. AS he turned, his
gun, which was cooked, struck against
the window and was discharged. The
negro prisoners. thinking they were
being fired upon, stampeded, and the
guard opened up an indiscrimate fir
ing, wounding two of their own num-
her and two of the negroes, all slight

next day, Sunday, a most Intense
excitement prevailed, as it was learned
that Noah Parker and Arthur Brooks.

organize the negroes for the purpose
of an assault on the place. The
whites organized under Rev. Mr..

and Parker, and in an attempt of the
negroes to rescue them, the recounter

Beaver, Utah, Dec. 22.-The report
of the grand jury of the second dis
trlct' presented yesterday, shows that
out of upwards of thirteen thousand
dollars, drawn by Marshal Maxwell,
to defray the expenses of the court,
little or nothing has ever been paid
out The Marshals books show sums
paid. but the examination of the par
ties by the grand jury show the re-
verse to be the case. Great complaint
has been made by witnesses and jurors
all along about their being compelled
to attend court for nothing, while the
Marshals accounts and vouchers rep
resent them to he paid in full. 1t is
thought that Maxwell will soon be
indicted.
