1grS. W. Wheelock has sold the colt

for $500. This colt was sired by Rom

This is the second sale of blooded stock to
Mr.. Schoonmaker by Mr. Wheelock.
Bg@ Following are the names of tramps
who occupied the calaboose last night. Jno

R9~Lancashire & Tnrner have received
an order tor an organ for the Nj. E. church
OF Bloomington, llls,, to cost $1,000. The
t:m having no patterns and no place to
do business will have to subtle the con-
tract unless they can get an extension Of
time in which to make the organ.
Ba~William Lee, a dead beat of the
first order, was arrested by Marshal Wells
this morning, and brought before Police
Magistrate Swander, who, after hearing
the eyidence, gave him 10 minutes to get
ou; of town. He was accompanied to the
outskirts by Officer Olsen. Yesterday
afterno this same fellow stopped street
car No. near Sinnet's addition, and stated
that he had been in the AID LII. Vols.
and had been wounded in four places; tha:
he was hard up and begged for something
to eat. At another place he told another
story about being in a railroad accident
When he reached Moline he told Magis
trate Swander that he had been in the
southern army under Ben Hill and claimed
to be from Savannah, Georgia. He looks
more like loose penitentiary bird thar
anything else, and is evidently hardened
vagrant and probably never smelled pow
der in his life. His story about the rebe
army is evidently lie. as were his othe1
statements.

TURKISH AFFAIRS.
Appeals to England to Interfere.

PARIS, Aug. l0.-An article by John
Emile Lemoine, to whom is entrusted the
supervision of English correspondence in
the journal Des Debats, is published in
that journal to-day and insists upon the
necessity of prompt Intervention to put a
stop to atrocities of the Turks. He says
it is for England to intervene, because
England, being the avowed protectness of
Turkey, is unanimously considered, 10
Europe. to be responsible for the conduct
of the Turks.
A special to Letemps, from Vienna. says
the note which Restics, the Seryerian pre-
mier, is preparing to be sent to the Pow
ers giving an account of atrocities com
mitted by Turks in Servia, may serve
equally to pave the way for mediation or
for justifying war to the death.

which are of d pure breed. A number of
his mares are number one Kentucky ami
mails, imported by him for breeding pur-
poses. Mr.. T. was from home, but his gen
tleman1y superintendent, Mr.. Richardson
showed us about the premises. Ellen Bell
was the first animal of note showed us, a
beautiful bay, in whose veins the blood OF
old Mambrino Patchen courses fresh is hard
to beat. Mountain Chief, a No. l bay STALL
ion is also of Mambrino stock. Turner, a
genuine thoroughbred, is as pretty as a deer;
he has a powerful chest, stands up on a set
of as fine chiseled limbs as we ever saw. This
horse cost $2,100 in Kentucky, and has a
record, we believe, of LAG when a two year
old, at which age he was purchased by Mr..
P. and shipped to Montana. 10 say the
least of him he is a promising horse, and
will most likely make a reputation during
the fall races. From Mr.. P's. we went over
to Cottonwood creek, a mile Or SO distant to
the Garden ranch of Joseph Ledge & Co.
These gentlemen are making a success OF
growing vegetables, Notwithstanding the
grasshoppers. They have surrounded the ga
den with a ditch, and on the inside Of it they
have set up tin made of old cans, etc., all the
way round, thus making it impossible for
those that ferry the ditch to climb the tin
bank. A few, however, manage to jump,
but one or two faithful fowls with their
brood quartered inside, soon pick these adj
venturers up; thus a splendid crop is pro-
duced. Turning about we arrived at Deer

upon the Indians with some assurance Of
success, Is to us a mystery not easily solved.
It is to be hoped that the sacrifice will
awaken the Government to a sense of the
magnitude of this Indian war, and that the
Congress now in session will amply provide
for the immediate erection and garrisoning
of at least two posts in that section. 1t will
require 1900 to $4,000 men, well provided
with light artillery, to bring these Sioux to
terms, and provision tor a smaller army than
this will prove as Intellectual as that Of Gus
ter's brave little command.
The success of the Sioux will give them
encouragement and increase their thirst for
blood, and they may be expected at any
time to fall upon Gen. Gibbon in overpow-
ering numbers and compel him to fall back
upon our settlements for safety.

Roughly stated, the loss of Custer cannot
be short of one-half-say $50 men.
The Indians were in great. strength, and
We're estimated at from 1900 to $500 war
riors.
My command is intact and in fine order,
and wish you would telegraph to Fort
Shaw and Camp Baker to that effect.
When the fight commenced, Colonel Re-
no, with three companies, charged and had
quite q heavy fight-was ~overpowered and
driven back, and took to the bluffs, where
he met four other companies, and they had
heavy fighting all the rest of that day and
all the 26th, and knew nothing of the fate of
Custer and his five companies until we ar
rived and informed them of it.
