Caster City.

Captain Haserodt, landlord of the At
lantic House, returned to Omaha last even
ing from Custer City, accompanied by his
daughters, Mrs. Ward and Miss Augusta
Haserodt. They came by the way of Red
Cloud agency and Sidney, and had q peril
Gus trip. They left Custer after the storm
ing OF the city by the Indians, the first
this city. This morning Bee reporter in
terviewed him at the Atlantic House, and
his vivid description of the attack on Gus
ter and his exit from the city, is given in
his own words as follows:
For q few weeks past and several others
had determined to leave Custer on account
of theimpending danger from Indians, who
were daily growing more bold and trouble
some. 1t took us three weeks to collect
ninety six men to leave the hills together in
safety. Most of the men were miners from
Custer and Deadwood. 1t required this
number to fight the Indians. We packed
our things on Friday night, the nineteenth
of this month, preparatory to leaving next
day There had been signs, fires, etc.,
made on the surrounding hills by the In
dams several days and nights before, and
the report came in that they intended to
storm the city.
We laughed at the rumor, and paid but
little attention to it. The attack, however,
was made on the night of the nineteenth,
at two o'clock. They stormed the city in
great numbers, and set fire to the ammuni.
ton house in the centre Of the city, destroy.
ing it with it's explosive contents, seven
kegs of powder, together with five stores
and the Metropolitan Hotel, which was
owned by Fred CJurtman, of Yankton.
All these buildings were right in the heart
of the city. The excitement among the
surprised citizens wss intense, and c0nfu.
sion for short while reigned supreme. No
one can describe the scene with Justice.
Frightened men and women were rushing
about, crying, screaming, yelling, and
sounding q general alarm. Shooting soon
began through the doors and windo VS., and
soon every man ran into the streets and
opened on the enemy, causing them to re-
treat in double quick, leaving the city.
Next morning our party of ninety-six men
carried out their previous determination of
leaving, and We took our departure through
Buffalo Gap, thirty.three miles from Custer
City.
We left very early in the morning, while
the excitement over the attack was still
running high, and I did not learn how
many, # any, were killed or wounded on
either side.
Eight miles from the Gap we found .
party of ten men corraled y the Indians
They had Q new saw mill from Yankton
with them. They had fought the Iudisns
for four days, and had fortified Themselves
with good breastworks. One man and one
OK had been killed. We freed them and
took them along with .us, leaving the saw
mill In the hands of the Indians We buried
the dead man, whose name Was John
Schenck, OF Yanktoa, who lett wife and

WASHINGTON, April 29.-The friends
of Senator Morton express themselves as
confident that he is fully able to meet
the recent charge against his integrity in

Governor, on behalf Of the State Sl33,

tho State settled with him, and this
amount was paid back to the
government by setting of a
like amount from the payment

The Secretary declined to permit such an

Washington, and both of these gentle
men are now here. Morton will take an

sided. Mr.. UConner presented letter
received last evening from Mrs. SIN
clair. In it Mrs. Sinclair Gays she now,
as we'll as always, bears the same
feelings of gratitude to Mr.. OConner,
and reiterated her assertion that
the article had been published without
her consent, against her wish, and after
solemn promises had been given that it
should not be. Mrs Sinclair also says
she has never made any charges against
Mr.. OConner and had no intention of
doing 90.
Mr.. Sedley, brother.in-law Of Mrs.
Sinclair, read protest against the COM
organization only one of the
parties to the controversy has
a voice. Mr.. O'Conner said he did
not intend to notice Sedley's protest,
but had come to verify every statement
contained in his memorial to the Bar
Association IN relation to the allegation
that be had charged Miss Sill clair exorbi-
family. He said this is not so, the whole
amount charged and obtained by HIM
during the nineteen years from that lady
was about $4,000. Mr.. O'Conner
then made statement showing
how all money had been disbursed
and said that the charge that it was un-
derstood that he was to conduct Mrs. Sin.
clairs case for nothing, or that it had
been attempted to give her such an i'm
preston, was absolutely false.
After the introduction OF a few wit.
