ter always from the Granger part OF the
county. Would it not be we'll at this
election to recognize the mechanics or
workingmen OF this city by offering
them one place on the ticket? They have
good material and plenty of it to select
from. By doing this the convention will
do justice to class Of voters who are
madest but understand compliment
when rendered them and who would ap.
preciate such an act at this time IN way
that would be gratifying to all.
Respectfully yours,

The Indians.

CHEYENNE, July Co. The following
was received by mail to-day, with the
enclosure mentioned:
FT. LARAMIE, July "a.
A. C. Snyder, Agent OF associated Press,
Cheyenne:
This memorandum found on dead
body scalped and having about twenty
bullet holes in it, about 100 miles north
Of Fort Laramie yesterday. buried
the body and send this to you on account
of the note made in the memorandum
book. If you know any friends Of the
deceased let them know and send them
this book.
[Signed] JNo. MARSH,
Of Dead Wood.
Tho book belongs to L. P. Richardson,
correspondent of the Springfield, Mass.
Republican, who made the note therein
which reads: "If anything
important, send to A &.
Synder, Associated Press, Chey-
enne." Before Richardson left here last
Friday morning this request was made
by your agent and Richardson thus
noted it. He left Fort Laramie in the
fast freight train Sunday morning last,
proposing to go TO Deadwood.
A party who arrived last evening
from the Black Hills report they were
attacked by about dozen Indians near
Hot Creek and although rnnning fight
was kept up several hours, wounding
several horses, none of the party was
hurt.
From General Crooks Command.
CHEYENNE, July 26.-Advices from
General Crooks command, in camp on
the south fork Of Tongue river, July %,
via Fort Fetterman, July 26, are OF i'm
portauce. The main body of Sioux are
believed to have taken to Big Horn
mountains, where game is more abun-
dant and the grass fresher. The Indians
efforts to burn the grass off of the valleys
make it almost imperative on Crook to
follow them. HIS force musters 100
regular soldiers and citizen volunteers,
beside the 200 Snake allies and he feels
that he can at least hold his own on any
ground the emergency may select. 1t Is
expected that the wagons will be packed
on the Main Tongue river, near the
mountains and with the pack train load
ed with from ten to twenty days rations,
vigorous, but careful advance will i'm
mediately follow. 1t is not deemed ad-
vlsable for Crooks and Terry's forces
to Join previous to move by one or the
other Of tho commands. He thought
the Indians would make stand against
one OF the columns, and that by arrang-
ing them and having the other column
reserved to either fight or follow up with
something decisive may be expected dur
ing the summer campaign. The
enemy is believed to be on
the head waters of Ash creek, and
the Little Big Horn, not far from the
Montana and Wyoming line, and from
thirty to forty miles from Crooks present
camp. Gen. Merritt left Fetterman this
morning, with eight companies of the
Fifth cavalry. Two more, on the way to
Fettsrman, will take some 1900 recruits,
and follow in few days.

Western Farmers Almanac.

II Is claimed that the Western Farm
ers Almanac, published by John p Nor
ton Il Co, Louisville, KY, for forty-nlne
years, has reached a circulation OF one
hundred thousand copies. This Is GER
tainly very remarkable, but when we
come to think about IL, 10 seems TO have
been brought about In natural way.
Jim Fisk. used to say "If you have got q
good thing, pat all the money in it and
all the men ON IL 10 will bear, and the
American people will buy It," This Is
what its publishers did every year with
the Western Farmers Almanac, so that
1t grew to be a standard authority. This
year the prophet Tice makes up its
weather notices, and there are great
many highly interesting and practical
articles on such subjects as Jersey cattle
and short-horns, butter making, the cul-
ture of small fruits, tobacco culture,
manures. Patrons OF Husbandry, CO.
operative trades, weather forecasts, do
nestle receipts, etc, together with the
usual budget Of anecdotes. Every body
ought to keep this reliable old almanac
hanging up by the mantlepeice for refer
ence. Its price is only ten cents.
