abouts of tho Princess, but instead
of paying her a mere call, they in
variably prolong their stay into a
visit of such length that one nat
urally wonders at their actions.
They scan every lineament of her
face with devoted interest, and even
converse by the hour on the pecul-
iarities of her garments. The
Princess pays no Observation-Disclosures
to these enthusiasts, and has from
the first retained a silence and pla-
cidity which nothing could disturb.
Bv the side Of the Princess hangs a
curiously-ornamcnted case, rich with
Egyptian figures and inscriptions,
which describe her lady-ship as a
princess of noble family. The
inscriptions give number of inter
esting biographical details, and
contain extracts from the "Book of
the Dead" or "Ritual of the Dead"
The Princess is without q doubt over
1000 years old, and is one of the
best preserved mummics on exhi-
bition.
Nearly 1000 soldiers-mostly
State troops-arc encamped at
Belmont, in the vicinity of the
grounds, and their presence cnlivens
things considerably. Parades and
reviews occur almost daily, and the
music furnished by the excellent
bands belonging to different divi-
siops is much enjoyed. The Detroit
Light Guard, which arrived on
Sunday evening with an excursion
party of five hundred prominent
citizens of Michigan, were accorded
reception at theNiichigan Building
on Wednesday.

will, Immediately on the breaking
up of the Exposition, transfer it in

together again in that city. The
accomplishment of this project will
be the greatest advance in railroad
interests that has taken place in
Chicago for years, no single i'm

with it, l called upon Col. Scott
to inquire if the story had any
foundation in fact and found that,
while the statement is little pre-
mature, such result is not i'm
probable.

WE arc in receipt of q commun-
ication from the editor of the
Manistcc Times s. Standard, in
which he complains of what he
chooses to call evident and vitu-
pcrativc personal attack upon
himself, and attaches to the COM
munication the lengthy article we
referred to, in our issue of last week,
with request for publication.
We're the articles more brief, we
would chccrfully give them place;
as they arc, VIC decline.
Personally, we are not acquainted
with the editor above referred to,
and as to our making "pcrsonal
attack" VIC beg leave to plead not
guilty. AS to our repelling a
personal attack" not only upon
ourselves, but upon the majority of
the recent members ofthc Senatorial
Committee, we admit that we did
that, and did so, not from any
"personar' feeling toward man
VIC were unacquaintcd with, but
because We thought then, and do
now, that his entire article was
uncallcd for, in exceeding bad taste,
and needed rcproof.
So far as our action was concerned
as Il member of the committee, VIC
favored basing the representation
Oh population, because we believed
ittobe the most satisfactory method.
The working of the Senatorial
Convention at Reed City, fully
justified the views Of the majority
of the committee. The question of
fair or unfair representation was
not raised, a result which had not
been reached during the four pre-
vious years, where, in both the
Senatorial Conventions held in that
period, Ncwaygo county laid claim
to one moro delegate than the voting
basis gave her.
We do not propose to enter into
q personal warfare with the med
dlcsomc editor of the Times e
Standard. We arc emphatically
in favor of broad, liberal, sound
basis of representation in all polit-
ical conventions We choose the
population basis because our judg-
mcnt tells us it is the most stable
and reliable, and can work injustice
to no one. We do not favor it for
one convention, and disown it for
another. Neither do we purpose
thrusting our views upon unwilling
minds. We arc content to let time
and practical tests convince one
and all that we have taken the true
and correct position in this matter.

Lases. From Red Cloud.

The turning over of the agencies at
Red Cloud and Spotted Tail has not
been made without difficulty. Whilst
a majority of the Indians are disposed
to submit quietly a number express dis
satisfaction at a census being taken.
A final council was held yesterday.
Considerable dissatisfaction is mani
tested by the Indians at the meagre
supply of food, which consists wholly of
corn, -four and beef, and they insist on
sugar, coffee and tobacco being issued
them, and furthermore, they attribute
the departure from the agencies of those
who have joined the hostiles to this
fact, rather than to a desire for war.
Apprehension of inability to carry
out the orders to disarm all Indians
before permitting their return to the
agencies exists at Camps Sheridan and
Robinson. Two companies of the 5th
cavalry go to Camp Sheridan, increas-
ing the force at that post to four COM
while at Camp Robinson there
are three companies, exclusive of one of
the Bird cavalry at Sidney crossing, not
far distant.

When Lieut.. Mullen constructed the
military wagon road from Fort Benton
to Fort Waila Walla, many years ago,
he was accompanied by a full corps of
scientific Observation-Disclosures, bot
tanists, biologists, s'bugists'' etc. The
mineralogists and biologists agreed
that there might be gold in the county
traversed, but thought there were no
deposits on the line of the road. That
road was graded right across Last
Chance gulch and the Blackfoot dig
gings-among the richest deposits ever
worked in Montana. Prof. Jenney,
when he was sent out here by the gov
eminent to report on the mineral re-
sources of the Black Hills, took a peep
over into Deadwood gulch, and turned
away, saying, sit is useless to look for
gold in there" Some of the most pro-
ductive gold mines ever worked are now
being developed in Deadwood gulch.

A Military Murder.

On the morning of June 20, Sergeant
Frank Owens, who, with a detachment
of six soldiers of the Ninth U. s. infan-
try, was stationed at the crossing Of the
Niobrara river, % miles from Red
Cloud agency, on the Black Hills road,
murdered Eugene Carlton, a private of
the same regiment. Owens was ar
rested, brought here, and placed in the
county Jail, yesterday, by Captain Fitz-
gerald.
Owens says he had been more or less
under the influence of liquor for three
weeks preceding the murder, and that,
at the time Of its occurrence, he was
blind drunk, 80 that he knows nothing
of what happened. He is from Man.
chester, N. H, and has been in the SER
vice nearly three years. Carlton was
from Boston, and had been in the SER
vice over four years, having only ten
months to serve when murdered.

Murder Of John Hinch, Of Phoebe, Nevada
-Fist Homicide in the .Diggings.
IBlaek Hiils ~F1oleer.I

lE-EEH 9E.#tfE EE.tEL FLZE EE
Ii is our unpleasant duty 10 chronicle
the details Of the first homicide which
has occurred in this mining camp, and
it seems To have been a cold, premedi-
tated murder. At Gayyille; tgo miles
above Deadwood, on Sunday night, the
10th inst, John r. Carly, Jerry
McCarty, and a man named Trainor
gambling in q saloon at that place.
John Hineh was standing by as a spec
tator-Trainor, who had made him a
gift Of an interest in . mining claim,
being his partner. After watching the
game awhile, Hinch concluded that his
partner was being swindled by Carly
and McCarty, and induced him to quit
the game. This seems to have been
the only cause Of the horrible tragedy
that followed that can be ascertained;
if there were any other cause, no one
can be found who knows anything
about it. Hinch then went into the
saloon Of Turner & Wilson and to bed
keeping his bedding at that place.
An hour OF two after, Carly and Nc
Carly came in and asked the man in
charge Of the saloon to blow out or turn
down the lights, which he refused to
do. They then awakened Hinch, say
ing to him, 'sGet up and take a drink"
Hinch, believing they were making a
up, when McCarty fired two shots at
was in a half upright position, Carly
attacked him with a large sheath-knife,
stabbing him both from the front and
ra1r Tho unfortrnafo man fall honI
in his blankets fatally injured, and
fingered in great agony until 10 O'Clock
the next morning, when death relieved
his sufferings. The perpetrators, as
soon as they had committed the muir
der, hurriedly disposed of their mining
claim-giving one-half to their land
Lady and the other to a friend, we are
told, and then stole two horses and
made their escape. The next morning
thirty or forty men started in pursuit,
securing the country in all directions,
but failed to get trace Of the murderers.
The coroner's jury returned a verdict
to the effect that John Hinch came to
his death 'sby injuries inflicted with a
knife in the hands of ]. r. Carly; that
Jerry McCarty fred two pistol shots at
deceased before the ~stabbing; that ow-
ing to the condition of the body, we
could not ascertain whether either or
both of the shots took effect; that the
knife wounds were sufficient to cause
death; and we do further find that the
killing was without just cause or provo
cation.n
Hinch was inferred last Tuesday in
Whitewood gulch, a large number at
tending the remains to their last rest
ing place. He formerly lived in Pan
amint, CAL, and afterwards in Phoebe,
Nevada, where he now has a wife
residing. He is said to have been an
industrious, well-disposed man.

Another Kan sas canard.

The subjoined dispatches were
received at THE LEADER Of
flee yesterday
est. Louis, July 29.-The Globe
Democrat has a special from Leaven-
worth which gives what seems to be an
exaggerated account of Crooks battle
with the Sioux on Goose creek. The
dispatch says !: A. T. Feay, post sutler
at Camp Sheridan, has arrived at Sid
ney, Nebraska, and reported the arrival
at Camp Sheridan last Wednesday of
Lame Deer, a friendly chief, who
brought the information that General
Crook suffered a terrible defeat at the
hands of the Sioux on Goose creek, but
the date of the battle is not mentioned.
The account states that Crook lost
nearly three hundred soldiers; was
driven across the creek by the terrible
fire Of the Indians, and that the fight
was more of a slaughter than q battle.
1t is further stated that the Indians are
greatly elated over the victory, and in
tend driving the miners from the Black
Hills, to clean out all the agencies of
the northern country and all stations
along the Union Pacific railroad. The
dispatch is SO worded that it cannot be
stated whether this is an account of an
old battle or one of recent date. This
is therefore given for what it is WORTH
"Chicago, July 29.-Specials have
been received here of similar tenor with
that from st. Louis about the battle of
Crooks. Nothing official or confirma-
ton has been received and the account
is probably bogus"
New York, July 29.-The Herald has
a special from the west to the effect
that a terrible slaughter Of Crooks COM
mand by the Sioux has taken place, 800
being killed. The Herald says editor
tally
"We think we may well doubt the
story of the disaster to Crooks COM
mand which comes to us this morning
by roundabout ways and from uncer-
tain sources. Lame Deer, who reports
the story, may be a myth. This story
is in itself too circumstantial to be
trustworthy when it is considered how
short was the time after the battle in
which he allowed himself to get to the
point whence it was brought to Sidney.
We are told SO much about disaster and
its consequences that it is not easy to
believe there was a disaster at ALL"
