tragedy few days ago. Three brothers
named Theilborn, who are represented to have
been desperate characters, were arrested by
Police Officers Dickerson and Elsden for dis
orderly conduct. AS the officers attempted to
march them off the men drew their revolvers

killing Of John Albus assistant foreman, and

The rumor is repeated that Sitting Bull was
slain in the fight with Custer and his men.
The rumors that have been afoat to the eff
feet that Gen. Crook and his command had
met the fate of Custer and his men, prove to
have bee without foundation. At last accounts
Crook was still safe, though confronted by
