IMPRoMPTU DUEL.
Terrible and Fatal Encounter at Crook
City with Rifles.

One of the most desperate and delib-
crate duels on record, says the Black
Hills Pioneer, occurred at Crook City
on July 18th, resulting in the instant
death of one Of the combatants, and the
narrow escape of the other. James
Shannon and Thomas Moore quarreled
about some money matters-Shannon,
demanding $50 from Moore, and being
refused-when Shannon assaulted
Moore. Moore said he s'could not fight
that way" when Shannon asked him if
he was ''heeled., He answered that
he was not, but soon could be, when
Shannon said to him, go and heel
yourself Moore accordingly went and
got his rifle, and came back, finding
Shannon armed With a revolver. Moore
asked Shannon if he was ready, and
Shannon asked for time to get his rifle,
which was granted. When Shannon
returned he again asked Moore If he
was ready, but received no answer; he
once more asked the question, and re-
ceived no answer; but Shannon brought
his rifle into firing position, as also did
Moore, and both fired. The shots were
almost simultaneous, and Shannon
dropped dead, shot through the heart.
Shannon made a good ssline shot," but
his aim was too high, the bullet passing
closely owe his antagonists head.
A meeting Of the citizens and miners
Of Crook City was at once assembled,
and a special sheriff apd coroner were
appointed-Dr. Jennings, formerly Of
Bismarck, acting as coroner. Jury Of
twelve men was then summoned and
after short elaboration they brought
in a verdict Of unsuitable homicides''
The verdict gives universal satisfaction.
The victim was known to be bad man,
having frequently been engaged in
shooting affairs, and It is said he stab
bed two: soldiers fatally in Bismarck.
Moore and Shannon came into the
Black Hills together, and had been in
the country but q few days.

Ammunition and Ra.ions Wanted.

An official telegram from Camp
Brown, Wyoming, says:
Indian scouts sent out from here re-
port that the hostile Indians are NOV
ing southeast. They traced them from
the head of Crazy Woman's Fork to the
head of Little Powder river. The num-
Der is unknown, but it is believed to be
large.
This corroborates the reports received
from other sources, and a large number
of Indians are doubtless making for
the agencies.

A War.

The present war has been in contem-
plation by the Sioux for a long time.
Charles Jones, of Washington, states
that in 1SN he was in charge of the
Flathead tribe of Indians, in Montana.
In the spring of that year two of the
tribe having spent the winter in Sitting
Bulls camp, hunting buffalo, returned
to the Flathead Agency and called upon
Mr.. Jones, giving much interesting de-
tail in regard to the
INTENTIONS OF THE sioux.
Among other things, they said that
INNER had been dispatched to all the
neighboring tribes inviting their atten-
dance at a general council for the pur-
pose of declaring war against the
whites.
Sitting Bull, who was then and there
directing these movements, had with
him a very talented white man, a Mex
lean, whom the Indians know by the
NAME OF FRANK,

and German languages, besides speak.

of the Sioux. Everything seen and
