A MISSOURI MUlDO0N.

The MuldoOn is distanced. Accord
ing to the Carthage MO- Patriot MI.
Henry Woodland, on whose stock ranch
in the Peoria nation is a big sulphur
spring, has just discovered buried near
the spring, the remains of n monster
twenty feet in length, with ribs eight
feet in length, teeth eight by four
inches, and weighing eight pounds each.
The teeth, tusks, structure of the head
and jaws show Enthusiastically that the
monster was of the c%arniverous class.
This little fact is further demonstrated
by finding the skeleton of an Indian in
side the monsters skeleton, that of the
former being crushed on one side.
With the Indian were 120 flint arrow
points and fifteen flint knives.
These are sufficient for the narrowing
facts in the case, but as our paper cir
culates to a considerable extent in the
East, we feel it incumbent upon us to
drop a tear forthe poor Indian. He was
no doubt a skillful cutler of his tribe,
athletic and brave. On his way to
market with his wares. and probably
suffering from acorus scaGiei, he be-
thought himself of the Big Medicine
Spring, but before he could disrobe for
n sdip in the healing waters, this
monster weighing forty or fifty tons,
came trotting in upon the quaking bog
that surrounds the spring, snapped up
Mr.. 10 and at onc sank in his tomb
less grave. Hard, hard, indeed. waa
the fate of this noble monster whose
last hours were disturbed by the pres
ence of a live Indian on his stomach.
We drop a tear for him also,-a tear for
both. We love them ~both-alike. In
fact we think it Il thousand pities that
the race of monsters became extinct
before the race of red skins.

n .L.HEE H. -
Sitting Bull is not, us he has been
hermed, the Sioux Napoleon, but he
may properly be termed the Sioux
Richelieu. His real rank and influence
in his tribe are all misconceived by the
whites. The idea of him as a supreme
and relentless warrior exercising SUI
preme control we his people must be
replaced by a definition more subtle
but in accordance with actual fact.
He has new been a chief or a warrior
and yet his influence over his tribe is
stronger than that which he would ex-
ercise in either of these capacities.
The several tribes represented among
his warriors are the U%ncapapas, Ogal-
alias, Minneconjous, Sans Arcs, Black
Feet, Two Kettles and Brules. They
number in all, men, women and child
rem included, some two thousand souls.
There IRE out of this number eight hun
dred and more warriors. The camp
thus made up acknowledges no one In
dian as its absolute chief or ruler.
Each family has its head, each band
likewise. There is a war lodge in the
camp and one warrior acknowledged as
head soldier.
The head soldier is not Sitting Bull,
but Long Dog, n of the most motor
ious of the Sioux chiefs. Less than two
years ago this merciless wretch burned
two American soldiers alive at the
stake. Even Long Dogs Office as head
soldier extends simply TO the policing
of the camp and to the direction of 4

participated in that memorable ant
s%anguinary struggle that 10 n among
them controlled the rest or exercised

Chlef Engineer W01QfaVen c1lHoQ
yesterday to inform us Of the actual
needs of the fire department. He
states that the city now has about eight
hundred feet of hose, half of which is
carried upon each Of the two Durant
hose carts. He argues that this
amount is insufficient, and that the city
should purchase one Thousand feet of
new hose at once. Then in case a fire
breaks out two or three blocks from
n hydrant, the engine can be stationed
half way between the hydrant and the
fire, hose laid and water forced by the
works into a box or barrel near the en-
CINE, and by it thrown through more
hose upon the flames.
The Durant hose carts now carry all
the hose they will hold up, and il more
is purchased a new cart must be pro-
vided. We are inclined to think that
Mr.. Waldraven's suggestions are right,
and while we favor economy in all
things, we believe that we should rem
der our fire protection as nearly perfect
as possible. The purchase of a new
hose cart need not entail other expense.
A company is ready to take charge Of
it, and Mr.. James Abney generously
offers the city the Use of a room in his
stable in which to house it, free Of

Strange Phenomenon.

Saturday noon, when a member of
the family of d. G. Lusk, who resides
on 18th street, went to the well to
draw II bucket of water, it was noticed
that the water was in q state of violent
commotion, and when the bucket was
lowered into it so strong was the mo-
ton of the water that the bucket was
dashed violently backward and forward
against the curbing. This continued
for some time, and several of the
neighbors and passers-by witnessed it.
Finally II messenger vas sent down
town TO get a man to enter the well,
but when he returned all was quiet in
the well.
