Krupp's Latest Invention.


English artillerists are directing
their attention to the latest invention
of Herr krupp, Wis.,: All armored gun
which does away with the rccoil OF
heavy siege, coast and naval guns.
When fred the new armor gun remains
fixed in its original position, SO that
whsn once pointed relaying after ey-
cry shot is dispensed with, and ia
pidity oil '6rc-sixty rounds in fifteen
minutes-is attained. The gun ia ar
mored by metal sphere being screw
ed around the muzzle, the thickness o
the armor corresponding to The cali
bre Of the weapon.
La firing from forts the size Of the
embrasures is reduced to that of ths
bore Of the gun, and smoke, which ha'
hitherto made prolonged stay in tbs
casment, iasnpport.ble, ia blowl
away by having TO remain outside
With The great stability OF the gu,
few gunners and less space are iequir
ed. Extensive trials are about TO b.
made against these armored guns
with the object OF determining wha
chances there arc of an enemy disa
abling weapon thus protected.

Gen. Clusters Last Battle.

Chicago, March 15-Gen. Sheri-
dan has received statement con-
cerning the Custer massacre from Col.
Wood, commanding the Cheyenne
agency post. The story Of the battle
Was told to COL Wood by Red Horse,
sub chief of tho Minneconjoux Sioux,
who along with others, came into the
agency aud surrendered. RED Horses
story nffheshght is US follows:
On the morning Of the attack my
self and several women were out gath
ering wild turnips. Suddenly one Of
the women called my attention to a
cloud of dust rising in the neighbor-
hood OF the camp. l soon discovered
that troops were making an attack.
We rau for the camp, and | was sent
for at once to come to the council
lodge. / found many Of the council
already there. We had no time to
consult. We gave directions imme-
di.tely for every Indian to get his
horse and arms, for the women and
CHILDREN to mount their horses and get
out OF the way, and for the young men
to go and meet the troops. Among
the latter was an officer, who rode
horse with four white feet. The In.
dams have fought great many peo-
pie, and very brave ones, too, but
they all say that this man was the
bravest man they had ever met. l
don't know wether this man was Gen.
Custer or not. 1t is said he was kill
ed by Santee Indian, who still holds
his horse. This officer wore large
brimmed ha. and buckskin coat.
In speaking of him the Indians call
him the man who rode the horse with
four white feet. There were two men
Of his description looking very much
alike, both having long yellowish hair.
After driving them back the Indians
oorralled them eatAe top of high
hill and held them there until they
saw that tho women and children
| were in danger OF being taken priso-
ners by another party OF troops which
just then made It's appearance below.
They all started to attack this new
party, lesving the troo ps on the
hill. As soon as we had finished tins
fght'we all went back to massacre the
troops on the hillxa After a while we
saw thc walking soldiers coming.
These new troops making their ap-
pcareucc was the saving OF the Others.
The attack was made on the camp
about noon.. The troops, it. appear.
were divided, one party charging
right into camp. When we attacked
the other party We swarmed down on
them aud dlaxr them in confusion.
j None were left alive eSen for few
minutes. 1t was with captured am.
munition and arms that we fought The

Marshals, Costs.

The County Commissioners have
paid off tho judgments on thesuperce-
deas bonds. The cost ofthe Marshals
for levying and mileage amounts to
$5O6.96. We understand the mprshals
claim to have levied on 106 tracts Of
land and that they charged mileage on
each tract from Greenville @. H. There
were two Judgements against the same
parties, one by the Bank of Commerce
and the other by the, Richmond and
Danvilie Railroad Company. The mar.
shals divided the executions, one TAX
ing the executions of the Bank of Com
merce and tho other (there were two
OF them) the executions of the Rich
mond and Danville Railroad Company
and t'avelod together, both going to
the same place, when ono could have
taken the executions in both cases and
served them just as well; but that
would not have given them both costs.
We also understand that the marshals
are required by law to go upon each
tract levied on, and that they have
certified that they have done 50 in
each of these cases. To the contrary
we are informed that they obtained
their information from the Auditors
books at this place, and parties who
were on the superoedeas bonds say
that if the marshals wore ever on their
lands they do not know it. This is q
case that needs investigation, and il
the County Commissioners do not &c
to the bottom of it they will fail to dc
their duty.
