The tax book for the taxes Of 1870
was completed by County Clerk Lynch
on Monday night, and submitted to tile
county commissioners OH Tuesday. The
work of preparing tax books under ex-
is,ing laws is very difficult aud arduou'
task, aud requires more labor and "head
work" than most persons Imagine.
The commissioners spent the greater
part of the day Tuesday and yesterday in
examining the book, and approved 1t as

Alleged Poisoning in Richie
County.


Col. Lsrkin Pierepoint OF Harris
vile, Richie county, arrived in the city
yesterday, bringing for chemical analysis
the stomach OF Mrs. Mealey, who died
under very suspicious circumstances at
the residence OF her husband about a
mile from that place. The circumstances,
as We obtained them from the Colonel,
are about as fOllows:; John Mealey came
IN HarrisyiIle about week ago and pur'
chased from William, PierepoInt "a small
quantity Of arsenic for the purpose, as he
alleged, OF poisoning rats. On Thursday
of last week Mrs. Mealey, at dinner, was
taken with severe pains in her stomach
and disposition to vomit. Mealeywsnt
to town and called upon DR.. Wan. Rymer
for some medicine, telling him that his
wife had an attack of cholera morb"''
The Doctor gave him some medicine On
Monday morning MeaIey called again
upon The Doctor, telling him that his wife
was no better and asking for more mcdl-
cine, Tho Doctor then gave him six pow
Iers, composed OF calomel and sub.nt1ra'e
Of bismulh, with directions to give one
every three hours. Before leaving he
asked the Doctor for some strychnine,
remsrking that either foxes or dogs were
robblng his cellar cveryniglA The Doc
tor oaye him about thirty.6Se or forty
grains of the poison carefully folded in

From the Big Horn-Sitting Bull
SILL Lives.

CHICAGO, August III. s. Poland,
Captain Of the Sixth Infantry, writes
from headquarters Of the military sta
ton at Standing Rock, D. T., under the
date Of July oath, to the Adjutant Gen
eral, Department Minnesota, 81. Paul,
giving the Indian account Of the battle OF
Little Big Horn, June 20.
The account does not differ essential
ly from reports already published, but 1t
says, however, that Sitting Bull was
neither killed nor personally engaged in
the fight, he remained in the council tent
all the time directingthe operations. Crazy
Horse; with large band, and Black
Moon we're the principal leaders on the
Goth Of June. Kill Eagle, chief OF the
Black feet, at the head Of some twenty
lodges was at this agency about the last
OF May. He prominently engaged in the
battle OF June 26th and afterwards up.
braided Sitting Bull for not taking an ac-
tive personal part in tho engagement.
Kill Eagle has sent me word that he was
forced into the fight; that he desires TO
return to the agency, and that he will re-
turn II he is killed for it. The request
concludes as follows: There is general
gathering in the hostile camp from each
OF the agencies on the Missouri river
as also the northern Cheyennes and Ar
rapahoes. They report for the special
benefit Of their relatives that in the fights
they had with the whites they have cap
tured over 400 stand OF arms, carbines,
rifles and reyolvers, ammunition without
end, and some sugar, coffee, bacon and
hard bread. They claim to have captur-
ed from the whites this summer over 200
horses and mules. l suppose this in
cludes operations against the soldiers,
Crow Indians and Black Hills miners.
The general outline Of this Indian report
cOncurs with the published reports that
the first attack Of Reno's began well in
the day. The Indians report about 300
whites killed and do not say how many
Indians we're killed. A report from an-
other source says the Indians obtained
from Clusters command 592 carbines and
revolvers, have, since writing the above,
heard the following from returned hos
tiles: They communicated as secret to
their particular friends here the informa-
ems we're to leave Rosebud Mountains,
ahostiIe camp, for this agency to intimi-
date and compel the Indians here to join
Sitting Bull. Ii they refuse they are Or
dered TO beat them and steal their horses.
OMAHA, August IAN official tele-
gram from Camp Brown, Wyoming, TO-
day, says: The Indian scouts sent out
from here report the hostiles moving
to the southeast, and traced them from
the head Of Crazy Woman's Fork to the
Little Powder river. Their number is
unknown, but believed to be large. This
corroboratss the reports received from
other sources, to the effect that large
number OF Indians arc doubtless making
for the agencies.

THE Chicago Tribune, with exquisite
cruelty, turns back and reprints from the
files Of the Chicago Times Mr.. Storey's
expressions about Mr.. Tilden before he
was nominated. More for the sake oi
disagrceiug with the Tribune than for any
other reason the Times is now giving a
sort Of half.hearted support to the DEM
ocratic ticket. The Tribune accordingly
hunts round for sore spots in the Times
record, and apparently with very aatter-
ing success. On June 10Th, for instance,
Just after the nomination Of Gov. Hayes
Mr.. Storey said:
1t is useless to talk Of defeating Hayes
with TiIden. The chances are so enor'
mouSly against il that nothing but q
blind iatuity Of the stupidest partyisnl
would venture on SO wild an experiment
Again, the next day:
Other engineers Of the Confederate
Bourbon party machine think that "Til
den and Hendricks ia the ticket which car
and which will beat Hayes and Wheeler
Hendricks alone might carry Indiana
but nothing else north Of the old slave
boundary line. Tilden and Hendricks
combined would be n guarantee Of tht
success Of the Hayes party even in In
diana. Instead Of bringing the two op
posile parties together, the effect woult
be simply to- .fll all honest men on botE
sides OF the fence with contempt for sucE
double.faced trickery.
Tilden and Hendricks combined would
be trademark Of political dishonesty
that all honest citizens would spurn. II
would not get an electoral vote north oi
the Ohio river. For Tilden to swallow
Hendricks and survive ia an imaginable
possibility. For Hendricks TO swallow
Tilden and survive is an Imaginable pos
sibility. But for Tilden and Hendricks
TO swallow each other and survive ii
plainly not within the bounds Of thing
possible.
In all that was written before the con-
ventions We can recall nothing which de,
scribed more wildly and clearly th'
actual result as il has since happened
Are not the above sentences, written be
fore tho St. Louis Convention, as precis'
description Of the present condition o
the Democratic party as could be writer
to-day? The problem of the hour il
now, as II has been from the day Of th'
Democratic convention, how Tilden car
swallow Hendricks and Hendricks swal
low Tilden, and both live.
