Another Battle.
CRIMINALITIES.

Among all the bad Sioux Indians
there was none known for many years so
bad and troublesome as Crazy Horse. A
few days ago this crratic chief took it into
his head to go away from his agency in
violation of.his pledge and OF orders. He
was ordered under arrest, but fought those
who attempted the arrest, and was fatally
wounded. He died next day and his body
was taken away by his tribe, The feeling
regarding the chicrtains death among the
India :, is generally good. They say that
Crazy Horse was "The man without ears,
who you'd not listen to counsel" His father
remarked this morning that the whites had
killed his son; but he was a fool and would
not listen; it was II good thing. Good Voice,
one of the Drulc chiefs says the Indians do
no. blame the white for killing Crazy Horse
and that he brought it all upOn himself.
These assertions 60 to show that most of
the influential men among them are on the
side of the whites.
More "Conmunism."
WilkesbaTc, Penn, is still in deep
trouble over the strikes. 1t is said that
there is every reason to believe that the
worst features Of communism will soon
crop out. Agricultural districts are begin
ming to feel the effects of lawlcss demands
of bands of the socallcd committees, which
are scattered through the country, and
wherever their requests for provisions are
denied force is used; barns, orchards, stock
yards and cellars are indiscrimnatcly plum
dcrcd, valuable cows are killed and their
hides left where they were slaughtered,
tinerant pcddlcrs are plundcrcd of their
packs, potatoe fields are invaded and their
products carried of. Gov. Hartranft has
determined to place a regiment OF three
months men in the disturbed district to CO.
operate with the regulars.

Meinphis Badness,
Ed. Murray, sporting chara'r in
Memphis was shot and probably atally
wounded by julio Rozcr, of st. Louis few
days ago, who was arrested and held in the
sum of $1,000 to answer. Rozcr denies that
he shot him, but two men who were present
assert that he did. All the parties were
drinking.
