The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1876-07-27

About 10 O'Clock last Saturday night
two men entered the house of Chas.
Hassett, 10 miles north Of Lone Tree,
Neb., and pretended that they wanted
a drink Of water. While Mr.. Hassett
was getting up from his bed, the rob
bers, for such they proved to be, each
pointed a revolver at his head, and in
the usual style of the highwaymen OF
the olden time, demanded his ''money
or his life." The situation was an I'M
pleasant one for MI. Hassett, who con-
cluded that discretion was the better
part of valor, and accordingly handed
over 1851, which the thieves pocketed.
They then withdrew from the house,
and going to the stable mounted two OF
Mr.. Hassttt's best horses, and started
for the railroad. The horses were af-
forwards found, Sunday morning, graz
ing near Lone Tree, having been aban-
doned by the thieves, who are supposed
to be q couple of tramps who had been
hanging about that vicinity for several
days. No clue to their whereabouts has
yet been obtained.

schwatka's Pawnee Picket.

A group of Crooks officers had gath
cred about a camp fire near Cloud Peak,
and were willing away a pleasant hour
in storytelling.
"Now, Lieut.. Schwatka, tell us about
that Pawnee picket you had on Powder
river last March," said Capt. Sutorius
to a stout young officer.
"Youmean aboutthe watch?"Schwatka
inquired. sIt happened this way:
We were ordered to make a detail for
picket duty, and as the Pawnees were
doing nothing in particular, we thought
we'd give them o turn. Ny sergeant
took half a dozen of them with the
guard, and, reaching the picket post,
explained that they would be two hours
on and four off duty. He said to the
Pawnee chief: "Look at this watch. 1t
is now 6 O'Clock. When the short hand
goes around twice you will call me and
be relieved. Do you understand me?n
"sHey-hey-good y said the Indian,
and stalked away.
The sergeant, who was very tired,
went to sleep and was not disturbed I'M
til it was almost day.
"Then he was aroused by a hand laid
upon his shoulder. He opened his eyes
and saw the Pawnees standing over
him, watch in hand.
We'll, chief, what do you wantp'
asked the sergeant.
"Pawnee heap cold, much heap stiff, ,
replied the warrior, ugh That thing
indicating the watch) much lie. Long
finger 1.-THE minute handy him all right.
short finger (the hour handy he heap
damn tired?'
"The sergeant laughed, and tried to
enlighten tie Indian as to his mistake.
"Ughr was all the disguised chief
would say, but he would have no more
to do with the picket"

Belhgerent rramps.

Fifteen tramps entered an Omaha sa-
loon on Friday, July 21st, and after
demanding free drinks and being refu-
sed, at once took possession of the es
tablishment, and before the police
could congregate in sufficient force to
clean 'em out, they got away with
nearly everything drinkable that the
saloon contained. When the police
came upon them they made show of
fight, but after four or five of them had
been knocked down, and some of them
knocked senseless for the time, the mob
surrendered and were marched off to
the cooler in double-quick time. 1t
is thought that one o. two who were
sswhacked' over the head by heavy
and well loaded "billies" in the hands
of policemen, will hardly recover from
their wounds. Council Bluffs Globe.

LATEST FROM CROOK.
An Immediate Advance 70 be Made--Plsns
For the New Campaign.

Adyiees from Gen. Crooks command,
now in camp on the south fork of
Tongue river, under date of July 23d,
via Fort Fetterman, July a6th, are of
Importance.
The main body of Sioux are believed
to have taken TO the Big Horn Moun-
tains, where game is more abundant
and the grass is fresher. The Indians
efforts to burn the grass of the valleys
makes it almost imperative on Crook to
follow them up at once. His force now
musters about twelve hundred regular
soldiers and citizen volunteers, besides
the two hundred Snake allies, and he
feels that he can at least hold his own
on any ground the emergency may Sc
lect.
1t is expected the wagons will be
packed on the main Tongue river, nea
the mountains, and with the pack train
loaded with from fifteen to twenty days
rations, a vigorous but careful advance
will Immediately follow.
1t is not deemed advisable for Crooks
and Terry's forces to join previous to a
move by one or the other of the COM
mands- 1t is thought that the Indians
would make a stand against one of the
columns, and that by engaging them,
and having the other column in reserve
to either fight or follow up with, some
thing decisive may be effected during
the summer campaign.
The enemy is believed to be on the
headwaters of Ash creek and the Little
Big Horn, not far from the Montana
and Wyoming line, thirty to forty
miles from Crooks present camp.
Gen. Merritt left Fetterman yesterday
morning with eight companies of the
Fifth cavalry. Two more companies
now on the way to Fetterman, will take
some hundred and fifty recruits and
follow in a few days.
The subjoined dispatch was received
early yesterday morning, previous to
the receipt of the above news from
Crooks camp
Merritt's column Of the 9Th Cavalry left
Fort etterman yesterday to join Crook.
1t consists of ten companies of cavalry
and about one hundred recruits for the
infantry companies now with Crook. 1t
will reach the main command about the
I'd Of August. Crook will then have
twenty-five companies of cavalry and
ten companies of infantry, with two
hundred Snake Indians. With this
force active operations will be immedi-
ately begun against Sitting Bulls
forces.
The command will even then be much
smaller in numbers than the Indians
against whom they contend. Any CO.
operation from Terry's troops will
hardly be practicable before another en-
gagement is had, as the Indians are en-.
camped very near Crook, and are evi.
IDENTIFY preparing for a hard struggle.
The building of posts at the mouth OF
the Tongue and Big Horn rivers will be-
gin at once, under the protection OF
Terry's forces. 1t is probable that the
campaign against the Indians will be
conducted entirely by Crook, under the
direction of Sheridan

Remorseless Redskins.

Before Gen. Merritt met the agency
Indians about 40 of them left the main
body and crossed the Platte river, in
tending to make a raid on the Chug in
the vicinity Of Hunton's rancho. They
said they had killed Hunton's brother
and intended to wipe out the whole
family and kill Jack. Capt. Egan with
his company of cavalry was sent from
Fort Laramie to intercept this party,
but as he failed to discover them it is
supposed that runners were sent after
them when Merritt was met and that
they returned to the agency.
