The Sidney Bridge Speculation.

The few people who have recently
been misled into taking the Sidney
route to the Black Hills, have been
heavily taxed for crossing the Platte
bridge owned by Omaha spectators
The latter evidently anticipate no ex-
tensive patronage, and therefore
charge accordingly. One party with
six teams. last week, had to pay
forty-three dollars for crossing the
bridge; a few more such customers
will soon reimburse the n for
their outlay, unless high water should
land the bridge where it would prove
unavailable for travel. Black Hills
travellers need only to be told that
there is a free bridge, a substantial
iron structure, over the Platte on the
Cheyenne route, and they will with
out question avoid the imposters who
have built a cheap, temporary affair
on the Sidney route, for the purpose
of wringlng Il few dollars from the
misguided pilgrims.

The storm of Sunday and Mon.
day, which did little damage herea-
bouts, was a veritable flood down in
Colorado. AT Georgetown and Gen.
trail the heaviest snow storm eve
known there at this season of the
year was raging at last accounts.
At Denver the. rainfall was the
heaviest known for eleven years.
The city bridges across Cherry
creek were undermined and twisted
out of shape, one or two of them be-
ing carried away. The Denver &
Rio Grande bridge across the same
stream was carried away and u large
number of bridges on this road
were washed out. A bridge on the
Denver & South Park railroad was
carried away. The bridge of the
Colorado Central railroad across
the Platte rive was ruined. The
city bridges across the Platte were
badly damaged, though none were
swept away. One bridge over the
river, some ten miles above Denver,
was carried down stream. Railroad
and telegra, hic communication was
completely stopped save by the wires
leading through this city. In East
Denver, many houses were flooded
and the people were compelled to
move out.
The Denver Pacific was the first
road to break through the blockade,
a train arriving here yesterday, and
Immediately departing, conveying
the Oates troupe and a large number
of passengers to the flooded city.

II INDIAN SITUATION.
Al eyed DsSiIishnsss OF an IadIan
Agent

. $500
aAlter Ego" writing from Fort
Laramie, says:
1t is also more than w plain that
by not making a complete success in
the last campaign, through the tim
idity and Encouragement of two or
three OF his trusted officers, General
Crook has really but stirred up the
savage ire to a white heat. Looking
at the matter in any. other light rs
now only prejudicial to the best in
terests of Colorado and Wyoming,
and the sooner the terrible work of
the coming summer is understood
and appreciated in all its SERIOUSNESS,
the better for the frontier.
AT Spotted Tail agency We were
met with great kindness upon the
part OF the different chiefs, but they
were from the first as firm as the
hills in their determination torender
no assistance to the military in the
coming struggle, and plainly express
ed their unwlllingness to be removed
eastward to the Missouri r.ver-in
fact, they have asserted that they
will only go by the force of arms.
Through the undoubted connivance
of the agent at Red Cloud, as well as
others interested, the bands Of red
men there fed and protected not only
absolutely refused TO render the as
s~istance they had before promised,
but treated General Crook as they
would have had he occupied the po-
sition of interloper and a fraud. Dis
guise the treachery and hostility of
many of Red Clouds band as the
agent there does, proof amounting to
almost absolute certainty is at hand
to show that Indians are going and
coming from there constantly, com
hitting depredations and carrying
plumber almost TO the very doors OF
the agency. 1t is a plain case of
warfare against General Crook upon
the part of the Indian ring and in his
struggles At the front, SO soon to
commence, the brave general will
have the consciousness of constant
cowardly attacks from the rear.

Friendly Indians on the Sidney Route.

Friendly Indians on the Sidney Route.
y Br. J. W. Dear, trader at Red
Cloud Agency, who arriyed in Chey-
enne yesterday, had a narrow escape
from being ',oYer-hauled' by his red
friends on the Sidney route las:
week. He was only a mile and a half
in advance of The train which was
captured by the Indians but he pass
ed through safely. The Sioux are
Mr.. Dear's special friends, but they
sDiH take his stock, and his scalp too
when they have a good chance.
Mr.. Yates train, consisting of
four teams, was also attacked on the
Sidney route the other day. Two
mules were killed by the Indians,
but owing to the courageous defense
made by the Transfers the remainder
of the stock was kept out of the In
dams clutches.
