Inc biaes Hills Railroad.

The Omaha Herald has given itself
up OF late to chanting the praises OF
Sidney, and building a branch of the
.. P. from North Platte to Deadwood.
Unless it meets with better success i'll
these new undertakings than it did in
its desperate attempt to count Cronin's
nose for Tilden, it won't have much to
brag about.
Cheyenne is to be honored with n
surrey of q route to the Black Hills,
but will not be treated to a branch
railroad As usual it is to be left out
in the cold by the Herald and the
Union Pacific Railroad Co. But the
fact is that the Magic City has been
left out in the cold so much, during the
past eight or nine years, that it has got
used to that kind Of treatment, and
don't mind it very much now. 1t still
lives, however, and will probably sur
vive these studied neglects.
II the Herald could only give Chey-
enne the positive assurance that it will
not be afflicted with a branch railroad
from the Union Pacific for the next
few years, we are inclined to think the
information would be thankfully re-
ceived. The Herald is a ''terrible"
paper on enterprise, whenever it affords
an opportunity to slobber all over the
Q. p. and its managing officials in
Omaha; but Cheyenne has learned how
to let down one of its eyelids slowly,
and keep the other eye well skinned"
when that clever paper and the Union
Pacific are jointly discussing the FEAST
bility of a branch railroad to the new
gold fields. North Platte and Sidney
will be fooled badly.

1t is n of the unvarying laws of ma
ture that, when the youngest member
Of a young family of thirteen wants
anything, and wanting said thing very
much, speaks out boldly and plainly for
it in nc equivocal terms, the other
twelve members and the two progeni-
tors of that family will just get up and
hump themselves till that thing is
found, for they know that sooner will
the heavens fall, or q brick block fly
from its firm base, than that kid will
cease its vociferous bowling, unless the
thing is found.

Were They Drunk ?

The Greeley (Col.) Tribune says (:
when our Colorado legislature, which
cost the people $500 a day, went through
our town last Sunday on an excursion
to Cheyenne, one would judge from the
noise they made that they had plenty
OF liquor aboard. The Cheyenne
LEADER says that when they arrived
only q few were sober"

When a man stands long and quietly
upon the back-stoop, of a moonlight
night, evidently in communion with
his W thoughts, and, with folded
arms, compressed lips and dilated nos
trils, gazes fixedly into the mist of even,
it is safe to conclude one Of two things:
either he thinks he is a poet or he's
waiting to hurl a bootjack at ''that cat"
which has just effected a retreat under
the barn.

Frequently, in the course of human
existence, a wife has been known to
sweeten her husbands coffee with salt,
sew his collar-button OF the inside of
his shirt, jerk the hair out of the back
of his head when she helped him on
with his overcoat-and all this without
the least outward sign of malicious in
tent. If that husband would ponder
owe his recent actions, he would recall
that when he got out of bed he forgot
to say, "Ah, my dear (smile), good
morning" or he forgot to kiss the baby
or say the cakes were good, any of
which constitutes "the objectionable
SIM" and renders him worthy to be
"jerked bald-headed " and scattered to
the four winds of heaven.

that he smoked too much during his
absence. 1t is said that he learned the

The Ierky Bird.

The Kansas and Nebraska people are
beginning to realize that cold weather
does not kill grasshoppers. There have
been all sorts of predictions based on
early Matching, followed by snow and
cold weather; and the scientific gen.
tlemen, Riley, among them, have said
this and that, but experiments of
freezing and thawing them three times
in succession, are opening the peoples
eyes to the fact that cold weather has
no kind of effect, either on the young
one or the eggs.
The only favorable outlook, which
none of them seem to understand, is,
when there is a long spell Of mild and
wet weather, for it may be considered
a settled fact that moisture will dis
solve both eggs and insects. But this
comes from no temporary moisture, but
on that which is continued at least ten
days.

DEADwooD, d. T., Feb. %

Wednesday evening at half-past six
O'Clock, a small band of Indians made
an attack on Spearfish City, a small
mining town near this place. About
a hundred shots were exchanged. None
of the miners were injured, and owing
to the darkness the damage done by
the Indians is unknown.
Last night Boughton's herd of cattle,
which a party of armed citizens recap
tured from the Indians a few days
since, were again driven off by the
Indians, from the False Bottom mining
region.

GEN. MILES AND SITTING BULL.
The Story Of the Fight Of Jan. 9Th, as
. Told by Scouts.

A party Of scouts who arrived at the
Tongue river cantonment recently, give
the following particulars of Miles,
march and fight with Sitting Bull:
Gen. Miles, with nine companies,
started from the cantonment on the
26th day of December, up Tongue river.
Some forty miles up the river the
scouts were attacked by about 100 In
dians, but they stood them off until the
command came up, when the Indians
retired out of sight and the command
moved on. While passing the above
point the rear guard was fired into and
one man killed.
Four days afterward the scouts came
across and captured four squaws and
four children, and took them to the
command. This was about shutdown
on the evening of the 9Th of January.
BY the time they had reached the COM
Gen. Miles ordered the scouts to find
out how many of them there were.
Eight scouts started ahead and rode on
to a large body of Indians, who opened
fire on them. The command was about
two miles behind, so the only thing
they could do was to take to the brush,
which they did. They had to do some
fine fighting. They say they killed sew
eral Indians, but had two of their W
horses killed. They worked their way
back to the command that evening.
The next morning at daylight the
command was surrounded by the In
dians, who were estimated to number
900 or 1000. The Indians charged in
a solid body, and had it not been for
the artillery-which moved a swath
through the advancing column ten or
twenty feet wide-they would have
rode right over the ranks, and probably
there wouldShave been a second Custer
massacre. The Indians commanded n
hill on the right, some 500 yards dis
tant. Gen. Miles saw that they would
do great damage should they hold it I;
so heNbrdered companies A, G and d to
charge it, which was nobly done, head
ed by Captain Butler, of the 9TH Infant
ry, whose horse vas shot under him.
The Indians were routed and the hill
taken.
The Indians drew eff, and the next
seen of them they made another charge
III foot, but were repulsed again with
heavy loss. They again retired, but
told the command to "come on" they
would give them "plenty fight" The
battle commenced at daylight, and con-
tinued until IL a. M. of the same day.
