be done, however, mob rule and violence
must be suppressed. whatever may be the
cost or the consequences.

On the 9TH of July a phenominally VIC
lent hailstorm occurred at the mouth of the
Big Horn river. Col. Sheridan, who reached
there the day following, was told that some
of the hailstones4were larger than a mans
list, and this assertion did not appear ina
probable in view of the damage done. There
are between seven hundred and eight Kun
dred lodges of Crow Indians at that point,
and their herds numbered over a thousand
ponies. Six hundred ponies were killed by
the hail. The shower OF missiles was 10
much forthem, and, after one being knocked
down, they were soon pelted to death. In
the storm the herds stampeded to the river
bank, and one hundred more were crowded
into the turbulent current and drowned,
being too much dazed and stunned to keep
their heads above water. The Indians are
bewailipg their loss bitterly.

The government boundary line surveying

The government boundary line surveying
party, which was surrounded by Indians
near Deadwood has been relieved and is
now safe from the striker. The sensational
report in Mondays Chicago Times that
Deadwood and Crook City were surrounded
by Indians had no foundation. 1t doubtless
grew out of the survey party affair. There
are, however, strong indications of coming
Indian troubles in the foothills and in the
more thinly populated portions of the Hills.
With our insufficient army weakened by
eastern troubles the marauding bands OF
Sioux will lave a fair opportunity to put in
their bloody work.

The government is almost powerless to
suppress SO widespread a disorder as that
which now possess the country. The army
is small, is scattered over a large territory,
and the bulk of it now has more than lis
hands full in its endeavor to protect settlers
from Indian depredatlons. There is no ap
preparation to carry on military operations,
and so far as the national police is con-
cerned the country is utterly at the mercy
of the gigantic mob which has so positive
ly exhibited its strength in the past few
days. The propriety of calling an extrs
session of congress to meet the emergency
is discussed.

ANOTHER ROBBERY.
liz Time It Is Ca the bismarck Route 10
the Hills.
bismarck Tribune, July 10Th.

bismarck Tribune, July GOTH
The eastward bound stage was robbed near
North Moro, about one hundred miles from
the Black Hills, Wednesday evening at six
a. m The stage had on board FIVE gentle
men, two ladies and the messenger and
driver. The road agents five in number,
halted the stage from a gully as it reached
the middle of a steep hill, and when the
order was given to halt and for the passen-
gers to get out and form a line while the
gentlemanly robbers vent through them,
everybody felt like obeying orders but
when Bart Wilmot, the driver, was ordered
to join them he fatty refused, and told them
to shooting Just az soon as they
liked as he would die before he would aban-
don his team. So they allowed
him to remain in his seat.
They stood Paul Blum, the messenger, off
at one side with a double barrel shot gun
and made him hold up his hands until his
arms ached but did not disturb him, the
driver, or the ladies, or the contents of their
pocket books, and went through the passeng.
ers as elsewhere stated.
When the stage was first halted they
ordered the surrender of the "pi box
treasure box and failing to find that, they
expressed regret that necessity compelled
theIn 10 go through the passengers, tor they
had not intended to do that. So they for.
med the passengers in line and lifted theil
circulating medium. From one poor minel
who had a telegram in his pocket calling
him home to meet a dying wife, they tool
$1.o0. A bank cashier from Corruns, Mich.
: gave up fifty cents. Bill Coulter, Of St
Paul, gave up 1913 and abused them 70
; hoggishness, unil they gave him bacl
| his odd nickels. j. A
t Crozier, OF ST. Paul, gave up about Si7, an,
! other parties enough to make S2ll-not
very fat take. The gentlemanly operator
. refused all small change and refused gol,
e watches and ever. thing of that sort but tn
g currency they said they needed in thei
business. The robbery was a cool one, an,
from all accounts they found a cool load c
J. passengers, who had prepared themselve
for road agents by shipping their valuable
f by express instead of carrying their ducal
. on their persons. The repeated robberi(
on the Cheyenne route had led them to e1
pect trouble and to prepare for it. All
the passengers commend the action of Bul
Wilmont, and the conclusion is forced tn;
if there is any such thing as promotion
J. the stage business, Burt deserves it.

Final City Estim ates.

The Board of Apportionment yesterday
completed the final city estimates for 1878.
The total amount allowed for next year is
s27, 579, OF, against 1913, 4s4 269 for the pres
ent year, showing reduction of nearly one
million dollars. OF this reduction quarter
of million comes off the State taxes The
remaining decrease is distributed fairly
among the departments. 1t leaves larger
appropriation than would be necessary
under better city charter, or than would
be needed now if the departm ents
were entirely free from the costly evil
of political patronage. But it is q
concession to economy, nevertheless, and
one gratifying thing is to find reduction,
although small. of the amount required for
interest on the city debt. This shows
that under our present city financial man
agement we have, at least, avoided q steady
increase Of debt which seemed to have be-
come chronic. Now that the tide of debt
has turned let US hope it may soon flow out
freely. The rate of taxation, based on the
existing valuations, will be 255 per cent.
