BISMARCK, Sept. 29.


News received from Fort Peck to-day
confirms the report that Sitting Bull,
with 100 lodges, is now located ON the
Little Missouri. The Indians who came
into Fort Peck-Fast Dog and High Elk
say Sitting Bull is coming in there, and
he wants the great father to know that
he does not want any rations or favors of
any kind. He wants the agent and his
family to go away, but wants the trader
to stay and have plenty of ammunition,
for which they have plenty of greenbacks
and American horses to pay. Sitting
Bull wants the whites to let him alone
and he will not disturb them, but
says, if they are determined to fight, the
Indians can bring 1000 warriors against
the soldiers next season. They say the
Indians lost thirty-six killed in the Custer
engagement, and nearly 100, with many
wounded, in the battle with Reno.
Girard, who was cut off with DeRudio,
says he saw the Indians carry away
seventy dead from in front of Reno. The
Seventh Cavalry are under orders to hold
themselves in readiness to march at a
moments notice, from which it would
seem that fall campaign is probable.

VRITA, I. T., Sept o.
The Cherokees and other civilized In
dians of this Territory are greatly excited
over the proposed removal of the Sioux
into this country. They say that the
Government is again proposing to vio-
late the treaty stipulations by removing
these Indians to their country without
their consent. They characterize the
action of the commission in agreeing to
give the Sioux homes in the Territory of
Oklahoma as being similar to the one
made by Satan on the mountain 1, 800
years ago. There will be united and
solemn protest made by all these people
against the contamination of this alleged
outrage against the rights of the civilized
as well as the Sioux Indians.

The Herman Murder Trial,

The readers of The ARGUS will remem-
Der that we published an account Of the
killing of James Russell, in LeClaire, las
fall, and the arrest and imprisonment in
the Davenport Jail, of John Herman for
the murder The trial resulted in Her
mans acquittal None of the witnesses
offered any evidence of deliberate, pre-
meditated kiling-on the contrary every
fact stated was against such theory, while
the testimony made it very clear that Her
man slot Russell in self defense. 1t was
shown that Russell, ugly and drunk, had
pondered over the quarrel on the steam
boat till thoroughly enraged, and then
went in quest of Herman, uttering threats
against him in the ears of all his acquain-
tances who met him. For instance,
Wesley Rambo testified that he met Rus
sell near the Gault House, and that the
latter said. I'm fix the----,' or
similar words; witness went to the Gault
House, and two minutes after two shots
were fired, and then followed the dis
covery Of Russell dead on the porch, and
| Herman standing over him. All the Cir
cumstances went to prove Herman's state
ment-that he was asleep in a chair. that
Russell came up and either shot him OIL
mashed his nose with brick; that he
started up from his sleep, pulled his re
volver, and fired at Russell, not knowing
who it was, for it was quite dark
At the conclusion of the testimony
District Attorney Ellis said to the jury
that no evidence had been offered thai
convinced him that Herman was guilty O.
murder, and he shouldn't ask the jury t
bring a verdict of guilty. He limited tina
he believed that Herman did what he did
in selt-defense. Judge Hayes said there
was no necessitv of any instructions from
him, he presumed they were unanimous
in their opinion; each member of the jury
responded affirlnatively, and the verdict 0
not guilty was returned forthwith, none o
the jurors leaving their seats. Mrs. Her

few facts connected with this Universal

containing so much concentrated knowl-
edge, given by and found over the names
Of those who are acknowledged as the
highest authorities, as is contained in the
second volume of this work Great pains
have been taken by those having it in
charge to get the very latest data upon
every subject, and those who take an in-
terest in the sciences will find every article
fully abreast of the actual Developments.
All subjects which especially concerns our
country or the American continent have
received the most careful attention, and it
will be found preeminantly deserving the
title Of the American Cyclopadia
The present volume covers the wide
range from T. to L. having a large excess
OF subjects over the first volume, and rs
more pages than the first volume. The
binding, the paper, the printing, the press
work. the cuts, are an honor to American
workmanship, and fully up to the high
standard laid down for this work.
The remaining volumes are already far
advanced on the way to completion, and
the literary work provided for till the
close Nearly half of the third volume is
already electrotyped and the work is pro-
ceeding as fast as prudent The third
volume will be delivered within the present
year, and the fourth and last early in the
succeeding year. No library should be
without the complete work.
