THE WHOLESALE LIQUOR TRADE
A Few Words Concerning Co. Murrin's
Mammoth ESTABLISHMENTS and
Its Conduct.

Cheyenne was a Young-a very young
city when Col. Luke Murrin landed
within her limits and established him
self in the liquor business. He had
unlimited confidence IN the future of
the Magic City. and he has shown
Abundant evidence thereof by frequent
and liberal investments in property and
generous aid to every project calculated
to advance her interests. Disastrous
visits from the fire fend have failed to
disturb the imperturbable Colonel's
eq%uanimity, and the cry of ''hard times''
has worried him not.
For the past year his large and COM
modious store on 18th street has been
so crowded by the demands Of his ever
increasing trade as to demand either
enlargement n removal, and the Colo
mel wisely chose the former alternative.
With him, to decide is to act, and there
fore, for the past few weeks masons
and carpenters have been busy in the
work of erecting a large addition to his
store. A few days ago the work was
completed, and Col. Murrin now enter
tains his friends and patrons in a man.
moth store, 80 feet in depth and % in
width, fitted up in a most complete
manner. The addition mentioned is
occupied by n new and elegant sample
room and a superb reading-room. the
front being devoted to the display of
goods in bottles, casks and barrels, and
the desk and fixtures of the book
keeper and cashier. A most commc-
dious basement is also filed to its utmost
capacity with the miscellaneous stock of
a wholesale liquor house.
The most famous wine cellars of the
world are frequently drawn upon to
supply the demands of the patrons of
Col. Murrin, and his greatest pride is in
the fact that everything he sells is just
what he represents it to be. His imported
liquors and wines are from the most
celebrated distillers and winners of the
world, while his domestic goods are
purchased solely with the view of suit
ing his customers, and as the taste of
western people is far more variable in
this respect than those of the east, it is
evident that his stock of American
wines and liquors must be superior.
The old-time friends of the genial
Colonel need no invitation to call and
see him, but to those who have not the
pleasure of his acquaintance he extends
at all times a friendly request to drop
in at his new and palatial establishment,
where he will use his utmost efforts to
entertain and make them happy,

One hundred Pawnee scouts, under
Mai. Frank North, who were enlisted
for service under Gen. Crook, left
Omaha yesterday for the west, and will
stop at Sidney, going into quarters at
the barracks there for two or three
weeks. What will be done with them
thereafter is a question we cannot ans
wer. There is something in the wind,
however, and as Gen. Crook has two
months yet in which he a fight In

will be ssheard from" before much snow
flies.

Along the Missouri.

The situation of affairs along the
Missouri river with reference to the
war in the north remains unchanged.
Numbers of Indians have made their
appearance at the Cheyenne Agency
near Fort Sully, from the hostile camps
but owing to a rumor said to have beer
circulated first by the Yanktons, to the
effect that the troops would first disarm
them and then kill them they keep shy
of the military post, and thus far but
one Indian has surrendered himself and
given up his arms. The speech he made
on the occasion is said to be a fearful
arraignment of the government and the
Indian Department.
Large numbers of the so-called peace
able Indians are leaving Cheyenne for
Lower Brule, below, where many of
the Cheyenne Indians belong. They take
with them the wives and families of the
warriors absent in the field and claim
them as their own when they are en-
rolled for rations by the agents at the
places they go to.
Standing Rock is now garrisoned by
ten companies commanded by a field
officer. Cheyenne Agency has been
reinforced by two companies of the
Eleventh Infantry from Brownsville,
Texas, and five more companies of the
same regiment are now at Yankton
awaiting transportation to Lower
Brule and Cheyenne. When these posts
are fully reinforced it is probable that
something will be done of an aggressive
nature, at least the preparations indi-
cate that the regular garrisons are
deemed sufficient for defensive pur-
poses. What this something, if any
thing, is to be, no one yet seems to
comprehend. 1t is possible that stimuli
%taneously the troops. will move OH the
camps of all the "peaceables, . and dis
arm them, but the spirit of the present
instructions would seem to indicate
that only the hostiles who return are
to be disarmed. In either case a bloody
struggle will be the result, almost with
out doubt, for faith with the Indians
has so often been broken that they will
not trust themselves to the mercy of
the troops without their arms.

Commission Sketches.

COL. GEO. w. MANYPESN1,
Chairman of the Indian commission
now at Red Cloud, is about 6S years of
age, and is a printer and editor by pro-
fession. Before he was of age he was
editor of The ST. ClairsriHe (O.) Gazette.
Forty-one years ago he published The
Western Hemisphere, at Columbus, O.,
in company with Gov. Sam Medary, and
from 1859 to 1864 wa editor of The
Ohio Statesman. He was a member of
the board of bank commissioners, of
Ohio, for some time, and for 25 years
was engineer of the board of public
works and one of the lessees of the
canals of Ohio. During the admins
tration of Pierce and part of that of
Buchanan, he was commissioner of In
dian affairs, and while holding that Of
fee had a bitter newspaper controversy
with Tom Benton, which was the sen
sation of the day. The treaty by which
Kansas and Nebraska were opened up
for settlement was made by Col. Many
penny. He has had personal onnec
tion with treaties made with the Oma-
has, Otoes, Missouris, Sacs, Foxes,
Iowas, Kickapoos, Delawares, Shaw
nees, Miamis, Weas, Keankashaws,
and Peorias. During his term of office
the government acquired Indian terri
tory to the amount of 176, 900. 900 acres
of the most desirable land in the west.
COL. ALBERT G. BOONE,
a grandson of Daniel Boone, is another
distinguished character, specially fitted
for duty as an Indian commissioner.
He is a resident of Colorado, was born
in Kentucky, and is 70years of age, but
is as hearty and vigorous as a man of
80. In 1919 his father removed to Mis-
souri,, and in 1923 Col. Boone engaged
in trading with the Usage Indians on
the Marais des Cygues river, with which
tribe he remained two years. In 1926
he came out to the Rocky Mountain
country in company with Gen. VIM. H.
Ashley and Col. Robert Campbell, of
st. Louis. Afterward, for a year, he
was engaged in mining at the Galena,
ILL.,, lead mines, and then went into the
Indian trade on the Arkansas, above
Bent's fort, and, a few years later, en-
gagged in the same line among tt e 81 aw-
nees and Delawares in the country now
known as southern Kansas. In 1860 he
located in Colorado, and in 1861 made
the treaty by which that territory W. s
secured to us. He was appointed agent
Of the Cheyennes and Arapahoes and a
band of Apaches which he merged into
the Arapahoe tribe. During the past
fifteen years he has made treaties with
a number Of small tribes in Kansas, and
is we'll known among the Indians as
white Beard.n In 1868 he was put
in charge of the Indians along the
Texan border, where he remained IN
til 1870, when the management of the
Indians was turned over to the Quak-
ers. Since 1870 Col. Boone has been
engaged in farming on an extensive
scale on the Arkansas, where he has a
fine farm of 1000 acres. During his
long career in the Indian country, Col.
Boone has been on intimate terms with
Ben. Bridger, Carson, Cooley, Fremont,
and others who acquired nam and
fame in the olden time.
