In the United States Court in Chicago on
the 18th inst, the Government counsel

coyery of moneys appropriated by him while

that any person who ads or abets in the re-

the distillery warehouse without paying the
prescribed tax, shall be liable to a penalty
of double the amount Of such tax.

large amount of stealing has been done. In
dams are known to have returned from the
hostiles, but so s%tealthily has it been done
that they could not be caught, and all at
tempt to disarm the hostiles has therefore
proved abortive. A chief Of the Blackfeet
was arrested on Sunday for harboring and
supplying the hostiles. Th Indians threat
ened to rescue him, but the garrison was
too well prepared to resist, and so the at
tempt was not made.
