ANOTHER LETTER FROM "JUsr,cE.''
To the Editor ef Tle Tribune
CHICAGO, July 8.-From the conflicting ac-
counts in THE TRIBUNE, it seems impossible to
ascertain to d certainty who tho Indians are
that ara under Sitting Bull. In Fritlay's Tn1s-
ufE we find the statement that the present war
has nothing to do with the Black Hills difficulty,
aud that s. B. is III old cnQn1y with whom the
Government has never Ind treaty relations !;
that his usual following has heretofore been
limited to two or three hundred, but that In the
present instance he has probably made use Of
thu Black Hills trouble.to gain fer recruits.
From the Indian Agents come reports fin the
same paper) that few or none of the treaty. In
dians are known to have left their reservations.
Furthermore, your correspondent &c. RI iu-
forms us that there never was treaty male
with the main body Of the Indians Custer met. -
IN the other hand, We have the fact Sitting
Bulls forces have been reinforced from some
source to number estimated from 1900 to
1900, O
a citizen OF Yankton, in 3 speech reported in
to-4ay's TRIBUNE, says that, having lately pass
ed down the Missouri from bismarck, hc satis
tisd hin.salf that tho able-bodied Indians had
left + 81 tle - AGENCIES to join in tho war,
In The TRIBUNE it was yesterday etlitoriallv
stated that the Government Is feeding tha
women and children Of tue Indians, whilst lie
young 1neu are Oh the waE-path.
Now, 1t the Indians with Sitting Bull arc out
inv deprcdators with whom the United States
llasn ever nade treaty, and has constantly been Ut
war, they are not Indians who have left their
women and children to DO fed by Government
whilst they fight hur troops.

The Union .penot mnlter.

An ordinance based, upon the con-
tract between the city and the different
railroad companies to establish a union
depot on Center landing, was introduced
before the General Couocil last night
and was referred to q special committee.
The route Of the proposed railroad con.
r%ection from the Mississippi and Ten.
nessee railroad depot to Center landing
begins IN the Mississippi and Tennessee
railroad depot, near Main and CALHOUN
streets, and crosses Butler west Of Main.
thence enters Trezsvant at Shelby,
thence to Tennessee street fifty feet
south OF Huling, and along Tennessee to
Mccall, thence along the foot of the
bluff to Court street, thence across JEFF
ferson street about forty FIVE feet east Of
the Bradley block, and along the line Of
Promenade street to Exchange, thence
by the reversed curve to Fulton street,
where connection will be made with the
Louisville railroad. The site selected
for the union depot is between Poplar
and Market streets on the north and
south, ard between Front and Prone,
made streets on the east and west. As a
consideration for the right of way the
railroad companies are to erect a union
depot upon the proposed site.

LegaI outrage.

Officers make blunders sometimes, but
they should know the law at least and
know how to execute q writ or perform
their duty legally. Yesterday afternoon
deputy sheriff Mcmahon, meeting Mr.. A
G. Lake, desired TO summon him as a
juror, and asked him his name. Mr..
Lake refused to give his name and
passed on. On the corner of Madison
and Second streets Mcmahon seized him,
desiring to arrest him end bring him be-
fore the Criminal Court. Mr.. Lake re-
scented the iadignity and illegal act by
delivering q blow from the shoulder that
closed up the "peepsr" of the deputy
sheriff, and sent him to grass" A
ground scufle followed, which was inter
ferrsd with by a police officer, who car
ried.Mr. Lake to the office Of sheriff
Anderson. He was promptly released
from custody by the sheriff because
deputy sheriff Mcmahon had no
authority to make the s.rost, he bad
committed an illegal act, and bad
violated the legal rights of a citizen,
Mr., Lake acted perfectly right in ressnt.
ing the outrage and insult with a blow
and had he shot and killed the deputy
sheriff during the fight, the act woult
have been justi6able in law. The officer
when Mr.. Lake refused to give his name
should have made report to the Judge O
the Criminal Court, who would have is
sued an attachment for contempt agains.

for refusing to give bis name. Officer
cannot beItoo careful in making arrest
and in the performance Of their duties
because in this country tholaw jsAlousl
