The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1876-07-18

The sabbath schools of the Presbyte-
rian, Congregational and Methodist
churches of this city, have united in
getting up a grand excursion and picnic
to Johnson's grove, near Greeley, Colo
RADIO, one of the pleasantest places on
the South Platte river. A special train
has been engaged from the Denver Pa
ciic railway for the occasion. The
train will leave here at Z O'Clock on the
morning of July 25th, reaching the
pleasure grounds at 10 a. m. Return
ing, the train will leave the grounds at
4p. M, reaching this city at 8. The
fare for the round trip will be only two
dollars. Everybody is invited. It is
quite probable that the Fort Russell
band will accompany the party, and the
excursion promises to be the ~pleasantest
affair of the season.

Indian outrages Near ogallala.

A special says: On Sunday last
James Maloney and two other men,
with twenty head of horses, en- route
for Laurence's ranch from that of w.
G. Irvine, 80 miles northeast of Ogallala,
Neb., were attacked by seven Indians,
who surrounded and opened fire on them.
Dismounting, the men returned the
fire, wounding n Indian. Their loose
horses stampeded and ran up the river.
They mounted and followed the horses,
the Indians at the same time keeping
up a steady fire at long range. A run
ming fight was kept up for seven miles,
when Maloney's horses becoming worn
out, they could not travel. The Indians
in the meantime got in ahead of the
whites, secured all the horses and left
for the hills. None of Maloney's party
were hurt, although all were shot
through their clothing several times.

A ~RARBER-oUs QUARREL.
In which Chairs and Pistols were Freely
Used.

-
Dick Attridge, the barber, was on
the war-path, Sunday night, and nar
rowly escaped having his obituary print
ed in this issue. He entered Tom
Miller's saloon, on Ferguson street, and
after quarreling with a female beer
jerker, slapped her face. An employe
named Nash was dispatched for a po-
liceman, and when he returned, Att
ridge applied a vulgar epithet to him
and inquired if he had summoned an
officer. Being answered affirmatively,
Attridge seized a chair, intending to hit
Nash with it, but the latter was too
quick for the barber, and struck him a
crushing blow over the head with an
other chair. Ed. Dwyer, who approach
ed very close to prison bars on account
of his suspicious intimacy with the
gang of burglars which was broken up
here some months ago, here took a hand
in the melee, and demanded that Nash,
who had retreated to an adjoining
room after hitting Attridge, should be
brought out. He started toward the
room, but suddenly wheeled around,
drew a revolver, and fired at Attridge,
narrowly missing him and also the bar
tender, who stood directly in line.
Here the crowd in the room scrambled
under tables, behind the bar, and out of
doors, in great disorder.
Officer Talbot and special Waterman
Curran, attracted by the shot, rushed
toward the place and met Attridge on
the sidewalk. His head was bleeding
freely from a scalp wound inflicted by
Nash when he struck him with the
chair. Curran arrested Attridge, who
clinched the officer and pulled a revolt
yer, warning Talbot to keep away. The
latter rushed up and seized the weapon,
and Attridge was then taken to jail.
Dwyer and Nash were also arrested,
and yesterday, the trio were taken be-
fore Justice Fisher, who released Nash,
fined Attridge 1877, and bound Dwyer
over in $500 to appear at the next term
of the District court. Attridge, being
unable to pay his entire fine, is in Jail
along with Dwyer and two witnesses
who have not yet been able to give
bonds. Dwyer will undoubtedly go to
the ~penitentiary, where he certainly be-
longs.

.Deadwood win Do To Tie to-

MI. H. N. Lynch, of this city, who
recently went to the Black Hills, writes
to Cassells 6 Co., from Deadwood City,
under date of July 9Th, as follows:

very rich, and rich lodes are being
found every day. Business in this
place is lively; they have already built
quite a large town and a large number
Of buildings are now under way.

A Big Nugget.

Mr.. Joseph Small, of the firm OF
Small, Ames & Appel, who recently re-
turned from the Black Hills, has shown
us the diagram of an immense nugget,
taken out of the gulch of Potatoe creek,
near Deadwood City, by the owner of
claim Nc. 20. The nugget is three in
ches in length and one and a quarter
inches in width at the broadcast place.
The shape is irregular, one end being
quite pointed, the other broad and the
edges and sides ragged. 1t vas pur-
chased from the discoverer by Messrs.
Boughton & Beary, who are running a
saw-mill at Deadwood, and taken east
by Mr.. Beary. The actual weight of
this enormous nugget is LAG penny
weights, 3 grains, and the coin value
nearly one hundred and fifty dollars.

MEDICINE Bow Threatened.

Unauthentic kilograms received
at Omaha, Sunday, are to the effect
that Indians are moving on Medicine
Bow, it is supposed for the purpose of
capturing or destroying the supplies
which have been stored there recently
in great quantities by the Government,
there being $4,000 rounds of ammuni-
ton among other things. A small force
of Indians could seize and destroy these
stores, as Medicine Bow is a small sta
ton, and the country round about it is
sparsely settled. Their destruction at
this time would seriously impede mill
tary operations against the Indians.

A SAVAGE
How Crooks Crows Mutilated a Wound
ed and Helpless Sioux.

On the morning following the battle
of the Rosebud, as the column was moy-
ing from the place of biyouac, there sud-
denly arose among the red allies a sin
gular excitement. One Of them had
ridden up to a dark object lying beside
the stream and sat and gazed at it, and
after others had Joined him, they all
chartered as wildly together as the
South American monkeys when they
discover the propinquity of a snake.
After gestures and yells they dismount-
ed and brandished knives. Approach
ing them, there was seen lying on the
fresh, dewy grass, under the gentle
shadow of a STOPPING willow, the most
horrible object that could meet the eye.
A dusky human form, nude and blood
~besmeared, was writhing under the
knives of the merciless victors. The OBJ
ject was a Sioux, who, in the latter part
of the fight, had been wounded by a
Snake, scalped and left for dead. In
tearing the tuft of raven hair from his
head a portion of the hone, fractured
with a stroke of the tomahawk, had
chung to the flesh, and the brain was
laid bare. And yet, in the morning the
savage was still alive, and hearing the
tramp of horses and believing his tribe
had beaten the whites, he had crawled
out of the gully in which he lay and
called, 'Minne !" (water) to a Crow
who had passed and who he undoubted-
ly thought was a Sioux. The Crow
turned, and his face kindled with a fear
full joy. Six shots were fired into the
PROSTATE figure. The head and limbs
were severed from the body and the
flesh hacked and the bones hewn until
there was nothing about it recognizable
Al human. Infamies too shameful and
disgusting for record completed the
CHASTITY climax of horror. 1t was an il
lustration of the fiendish ferocity of all
the Plains Indians toward their foes,
The Sioux practice even more refined
barbarities, torturing their victims in
the most exquisite amer and making
them more dreadful by deferring, by
every art in their power, the welcome
relief of death.

The Sioux rhermopylae.

Long ago a frontier scout named
Hank Clifford, who had taken a squaw
from the Sioux nation, said that he had
often heard them declare that if ever
the antagonism between them and the
whites grew to a final struggle, there
was a country in the north where they
could take refuge and could never be
conquered or dislodged. They would
wait there to receive the force sent out
against them, and could hope to destroy
it before it could escape. This region
they described as extremely rough,
where steep ridges, precipices and deep
canyons formed a chaotic surface upon
which the force first in possession could
fight successfully three times their own
number. Clifford believes that it was
the Rosebud Mountains to which they
referred, as they are nearly impregna-
BILE to an invader.
On the morning Of the second day
after leaving the supply camp on Goose
creek, Crooks command halted to rest in
the valley of the Rosebud. 1t was then
only in the foot hills of the mountains.
Had the Crow scouts performed their
duty on the previous night they would
have been passed in darkness, for had
Gen. Crook known of the proximity Of
the Sioux village, the Richmond of his
hopes, he would have ordered a forced
march in order to effect al surprise.
The result Of the battle of the Rose
bud, which has been falsely termed a
defeat, would thus have been a far diff
ferent one. While it might have ended
in the massacre Of Crook and his gal
liant command-for the Indians out
numbered him ten to one, the probable
tiles are that he would have achieved
a signal victory over the surprised Sioux

Reinforcements For Gen. s. Bull.

In consequence of reports from Capt.
Jordan, commanding Camp Robinson,
to the effect that 800 Cheyennes were
about to leave Red Cloud agency for the
north, Gen. Merritt has delayed the
proposed movements of the 5th cavalry
northward from Forth Laramie to join
Crook, and has moved it to a position
where he expects to intercept these
Indians, and if possible give them a
warm reception.
