Crazy Horse is dead. Wounded by
his late bosom friend, Big Little Man,
while trying to escape from the guard
house at Camp Robinson, last Tuesday
night, and overcome by rage and NOR
tiication, he rested a few brief hours
in a bed at the adjutant's Office, then
yielded up the ghost, died, went dead,
kicked the bucket, passed in his checks,
and departed for the mythical happy
hunting grounds Of his fathers.
Born in the wrong quarter of the
moon, he lived a turbulent, nomadic
and bloody life for some thirty-seven
years, and has now gone to his reward.
His hand has yer been against the
pale face and against many of his breth-
rem, and at last. through that potent
agency, death, he has become a truly
good Indian. To-day, perhaps, a
grand gathering Of lousy loafers will be
seen at Red Cloud. There will be
bowling, wailing, crashing of teeth
and beating of drums, and a long and
heterogeneous procession of Sioux will
follow the corpse to the summit of some
one of the many beautiful bluffs near
the White river, where a rude scaffold
will be erected, the body of ''Maniac
Equine' placed thereon. his fayorite
pony and dog led under 1t and shot, and
the rude rites of the Sioux burial will
have been duly performed vel this
''good Indian" .H

The Commissioner of Indian Affairs
has received a telegram from Jas. l.
Patten, agent Of the Shoshone Indians,
dated Camp Brown, which says:
"The hostile Nez Perces are reported
coming toward this point. Ny Indians
are perfectly friendly and loyal to the
government. Washable (chief of the
Shoshones) says If they will give him a
chance to mount his warriors when
they come he can whip them in less
than a day."
1t is expected>that Washable, with
Q picked band of his braves, will join
Gen. Merritt's command when 1t moves
from Camp Brown on Monday next.

A Brave Brakeman.

A brakeman named Pat O'Keefe
saved twenty head Of cattle for the
company, on the Eastern Division the
other day. A car door was kicked off,
when one steer jumped out and skipped
off unframed. The train IA going
twenty-five miles an hour, and it was a
mile or two to the nearest station.
The brakeman saw the door fly off, and
yelled out, "For Gods sake stop the
train" but his voice was drowned by
the rattle Of the cars, and did not
reach the engineer. He then climbed
down the side Of the car, between the
bars, and hanging hold with hand,
he took his hat in the other and waved
it back and forth in the open door in
the faces of the steers, and thus kept
them at bay until the station was
reached. -L

DEATH OF Mrs. REILLY. Our columns
to-day are burdened with tho sad an
noncement of the death Of the estimable
lady whose name heads this paragraph.
IL was on the very day that marked the
thirteenth month since her husband was
lost in the dark waters of the Missis-
slppi, mouths of grief and anguish to her
a1filcted heart, that she yielded up he
spirit to Him who gave it, fortified with
the sacraments of Christ's holy Church
comforted from out the abundance of her
divine and illimitable consultations.
Confidently reclining upon. the bosom
of Him "who maketh the soul to rest l.,
followed by the prayers of the faithful
which, like fragrant incense ascend on
high in her behalf, she has winged her
flight from this world of poignant sor-
rows and awaits at the gates of the holy
city that divine salutation: 81 thy God
take thee by the hand, and l say to
thee, it is myself who como to thy aid"
Requiescat IN pace.

A PLEASURE RIDE.-Three of our young
fellow-townsmen, painting for the enjoy
mcnt of a buggy ride on Sunday evening
last, and being withal sore pressed for a
horse, bethought themselves to hich up Il
pony that had never experienced the hap
piness of glancing through collar, and
no sooner had the happy idea invaded
their minds, than it was accomplished.
Perhaps there was one doubt alone that
darkened the otherwise cheerful pros
pects,-would the pony go? Be this as
it may however, any lurking doubt that
may have existed on this point was speed
liy solved. The pony didgo; nor aid he
stand ON tbs order of his going, but
s'goe6.' at once. In fact he "goed' en-
trely too mcuh for any of the require
nIents of healthful recreation He was a
discriminating pony however, as he land
ed his owner, Master Johnnie Irvine,
immediately in front of his residence,
while he deposited Messrs. Walter Miller
and Willie Halle miscellaneously along
the road, tsfur from home," and we are
assured that their exit from the We
hicle was characterized by more haste
than dignity. It's all well enough to
speak of the affair in this trivial and jest
