A Miraculous ESCAPE.

One day last week a lady whose hus-
band is engaged in logging upon the
headwaters of the Cache-a-la-Poudre,
went out to the rivers bank to see her
husband and some other men roll some
logs down a log-way into the river. True
to woman's instinct to s'help," she took
a lever and pried one end of a log which
in starting caught by a knot in her
wrapper and took her with it down the
steep embankment a distance of nearly
eighty feet. The log passed over her
twice, she each time falling between
other logs in such a way as to avoid
being crushed. As she was going over
the third time her skirts caught on a
root, loosening her from the knot and
saving her from going into the river.
Her dress, which was a new one at the
outset, was torn into shreds, and this,
with a few black and blue spots was the
extent of the damage from her perilous
ride. She nov watches the progress of
the work from the door of her cabin.

The Sioux Commission Coming.

The Sioux peace commissioners, some
half dozen in number, arrived at
Chicago yesterday en- route to the agen-
cies via Omaha and Cheyenne, to talk
with the Sioux Indians. Bishop Whip
pie arrived and joined last evening, and
they will leave Chicago to-day on their
mission. They are furnished with in
structions from the Interior Depart
ment to inform the Indians that they
must not leave their reservation and
must stop depredations on Black Hills
miners, or submit to determination.
The instructions are very precise,
firm and straightforward, rejecting the
views of the President largely, as ex-
pressed by him orally to the commits
sioners. This is evidenced in the
emphatic direction, after quoting the
law of Congress, that no promise shall
be made to Indians that anything will
be done for them as a result of the
deliberations now had with them until
submitted to the President and CON
firmed by Congress. One very distinct
and creditable injunction is specified
that no stipulations for the payment of
money are to be made, but they are to
be assured that guarantees will be car
ried out for feeding, clothing and
teaching them SO as to make them self
sustaining. Secretary Chandler will
refuse to give the Indians rations until
they consent to remove to such point
on the Missouri river as the President
may select. They are to give up the
Black Hills entirely, and to remove as
far as possible away from them.

False Reports.

Much has been said way or an
other relative to the condition of our
troops in the Indian country, and so
many telegraphic reports and rumors
have been circulated within the past
few weeks, of the sufferings that have
attended the campaign, of the destitu-
ton of the soldiers, and the lack of
wholesome food, of the general lack of
courage, and the discomfort of the army,
that we are glad to learn through relia-
BILE ources that such is not the case,
and that instead of the troops being dis
heartened and discouraged, they are
generally hopeful and cheerful, and are
perfectly confident that if they can over
take the hostiles they will give them a
punishment which they will always re-
member.

One Hundrsd Pounds Of Gold.

The stage which arrived here from
DeadWo0d Thursday night was loaded
with passengers, who brought with
them oyer one hundred pounds of gold
dust. Fifty pounds Of this lot is nov
deposited in the First National bank,
and the bulk Of the remaining fifty
pounds is either on its way east in the
possession Of the fortunate owners who
washed and brought it ont, or is being
carried about the city.
This is the largest shipment yet made
through this city with n exception.
About four weeks ago a seedy individ-
ual arrived on the coach, having in his
possession a dilapidated carpet-sack, in
which, IS we have since learned, was
stored 500. 900 in gold. He passed on
east and has not been heard from since.
