Cost OF Our Water Works.

The pipe which has been ordered
from Louisville for our water works is
to cost $4,000. The freight thereon
from Louisville to Cheyenne will be
1000, making the cost of the pipe,
when delivered in this city, $500.
The city must lay the pipe, and the
cost of this work will not, it is said, be
less than $4,000. Estimating this as
correct, it will be seen that the total
cost to the city will be $500.
According to the contract made with
the Union Pacific, the latter corpora
ton must furnish all water required
for fire purposes by the city, reserving
the right to itself to supply hotels, and
implying the sole right to furnish water
for private use in dwellings. If this
view be correct. then in case citizens
wish water introduced into their
houses, they must make bargains with
the railroad company, and If the pipes
are extended to other portions of the
city beyond those contracted for, the
railroad company must do the wok.

Tho ''HIgh Joint" Sioux.

As has heretofore been stated, the
Indians from Red Cloud and Spotted
Tail Agencies. to visit Washington,
will number twenty, and will leave the
Agencies about the 18th prox. They
are expected to be in Washington on
the 25th of September. Spotted Tail
will be one of the number, and perhaps
Red Cloud. Efforts are being made to
induce Crazy Horse to be one Of the
delegates, but he has not given full
consent yet.
Most of the delegates will be young
Indians, who have not visited Wash
ington before. These young men are
selected in compliance with the wishes
Of the Indians, who think their younger
men and warriors will be better able to
explain their wishes to the great father
than the old ones who have heretofore
represented them. Lieut.. w. P.
Clark, who has been in command of
them 80 long, will accompany the
Indians. 1t Is not known yet II any
other officer will go, o fully decided

THAT INDIAN FIGHT.
Details Of the Recent Desperate Battle
on the Little Missouri.

The Deadwood Times gives us the
following particulars of the recent bat
tie between prospectors and Indians on
the Little Missouri:
Leaving Spearfish the party struck a
northwest course, crossed the Little
Missouri about 100 miles distant from
this city, and travelled about IS miles
beyond, when they turned and retraced
their steps some Is miles to a creek
they called Thick Timber. This water
they reached on Tuesday last, during
the morning of which day Thos. Carr,
who vas in the lead, and about one
mile in advance Of the main party, re-
ported one Indian in sight. In a short
time more Indians appeared, number
ing in all about 500, drawn up in regu-
lar line of battle, in three squadrons.
As soon as the Indian pickets had ap-
peared, the p%rospectors commenced to
excavate rifle pits, and had exactly
twenty minutes to work in when the
redskins showed up. Then a general
fight commenced, which lasted from
$3.50 p. m. until 8 p. M, and must have
been a very closely contested battle,
Notwithstanding that only one of the
~prospector's party (Mr. CARR was
killed. This g%entlemanl received his
death wound when the second volley
was fired, the ball entering in the back
Of the head, killing him instantly. The
Indians, who fairly surrounded the
camp, dismounted about 400 yards from
the pits, concealed themselves in the
long grass, and kept the fight as hot as
possible until $3.50 p. m. when they
fired n yolley, which was returned by
the prospectors, and then drew off, for
nothing whatever was seen of them
afterwards by any Of the white men,
who broke camp as soon as they could
do 70 with safety, and started in the
direction of the Little Missouri, under
the guidance of Dick King.
The escape was the more miraculous,
too, because the Indians, when they
discovered they could not stampede the
80 head of stock owned by the party,
used their guns with such effect as to
kill every hoef save n jack, the prop
erty of Lee, and two horses owned by
Mckay and Tom Carr.
The moon being hidden behind a
cloud at 10 p. IN. the party packed all
the provision they could, and, as we
stated before, started for Deadwood on
foot. During the return trip they were
not interfered with; in fact, never saw
a n Indian, although after camp was
broken up they heard the savages howl
ing like coyote wolves. They arrived
in Deadwood about II a. m. Friday,
having walked, altogether, about l60
miles inside Of sixty hours.

History Of the Omaha Bridge.

The Bridge Company was authorized
by special act of Congress to issue bonds
to the amount of SO, SOC, 900, and these
bonds were sold in England.
The Boomer Bridge company, of
Chicago, on the 4th of September, 1868,
secured the contract of building the
bridge for 81, os9, 500, the time Of its
completion to be November 10. 1869.
They were greatly delayed and did not
get the first cylinder ready for sinking
until March, 1869. In July following
the Union Pacific took hold of the
work, the contract having been annulled
with the Boomer Bridge company.
The structure was completed on the
25th of March, 1872, at a cost Of
SO. 900, 900.

FORT STEELE, WYo., Aug. 81.
Judge Hughes, Lieut.. Allison and
some ladies went to Elk Mountain on
the morning Of the 25th for a little
recreation, and camped ON Saturday
night near the foot of the mountain.
On the next morning two soldiers named
Hood and McIlvain went out for a
hunt. After proceeding about a mile
and a half from camp Hood said he
heard a noise, but it was SO indistinct
that he could not tell what it was until,
riding over a rise, he came suddenly
upon a party of eighteen or twenty
Indians, who were singing. Hood
managed by a dexterous movement to
get out of sight before being discov-
cred, and made haste to camp. His
story met with some little doubt from
some of the party, but Lieut.. Allison
knowing Hood to be familiar with the
redskins, felt convinced that it was
true, and they accordingly moved down
to Foote'S, and from there on toward
home.
Hood is familiar with the Sioux Ian
guage and says the Indians were not
members Of that tribe, but thinks them
either Utes or Arapahoes, most prob
ably the latter.
A m from up the river says a
party of Utes were seen who seemed
inclined to be hostile, but this is prob
ably a canard. Some little uneasiness
is manifest, Notwithstanding the effort
to laugh the matter of and appear to
disbelieve it. The late order prohibit
ing the sale of arms and ammunition
to the Indians has stirred up the bad
blood of the Utes, and an outbreak
would not surprise some Of our citizens.

The Longmont Post says that the
near approach of the railroad is giving
the town city airs. A forty-five year
old man who married a nineteen year
old woman a few years ago, threatened
last week to shoot her if she did not
leave his house, and the neighbors in
terfered. He wants a divorce, and she
don't. She wants him to support her,
and he don't want to. The townsmen
have promised to make it unhealthy for
him if he shoots her.
A man died at Fall River, Clear creek
county, the other day, says the Denver
Times, from the effects of a shot from q
pistol held in the hand of a man stand
ing in Gilpin county. The coroner of
the latter county went over and sat on
the body, and the coroner of Clear creek
disputes his right to do so. The whole
matter has been referred to Surveyor
General Campbell for settlement-an
em%inently appropriate reference.

The Republicans completed the list
last evening, by placing in nomination
a ticket made up of ten Democratic
and Workingmen's candidates, and four
new men, viz: Messrs. Corey, Stevens,
Bowman and Poulton.
DR.. G. W. Corey, the new nominee
for the Council, Is an old citizen Of
Laramie county, known by everybody
from one end Of the county to the
other. He is a gentleman of consider
able experience in public matters; he
has for years been the leader of the
Republican party in this section of the
Territory. Energetic and public spirit
ed, he has ever been wide awake in
aiding in the development Of our re-
sources, and has contributed by his pen
considerably to literature which has
been printed and circulated for that
purpose. DR.. Corey's extensive &C
quaintance throughout Laramie county
will secure him many votes outside Of
his party.
Mr.. L. C. Stevens, of the firm Of Cor.
lett & Stevens, is one of the nominees
added to the House ticket. He occu.
pies the responsible position Of town
lot agent of the Union Pacific railroad,
in which position he has given entire
satisfaction to his employers and their
patrons. He is a gentleman well known
for his suavity Of manners, good bust
ness tact and strict integrity. He
would make a valuable member Of the
lower house.
]. H. Bowman, better known as
"Jack Bowman Of Hat Creek" Is q
leading Democrat of the upper coun.
try, and the genial host of the Hat
Creek ranch, at which station he acts
as mayor, judge, postmaster, stage
agent, ETC., etc. Occupying SO many
responsible positions, that of represen.
tative in the next legislature will add
but little to his arduous duties. He will
get the unanimous vote Of his end OF
the county.
Mr.. ]. P. G.. Poulton is the man who
has furnished the brains for our norm
ing contemporary for some time. He
is a gentleman of fine literary attain
ments, and well known as a pithy
writer. In social life he has become
popular with all classes of our people,
who admire his excellent qualities and
appreciate his efforts in making the
pages of the paper, on which he is EN-.
ployed readable, notwithstanding Slack's
bullheadedness and total ignorance OF
the newspaper business.
Thus four good names have been
added to the large list of candidates
heretofore nominated, and we a with
justice say, they are the names of four
of our best citizens.

A WELL MERIrED TRnuTE.-

A WELL MERITED TRBurE.-A
tribute of praise where praise is due is
simple justice. Among the most de-
serving of the proprietary articles
which have won a place among the
medicinal staples Of America is
GLENN's SULPHUR SOAP, a remedy for
diseases and injuries of the skin, q
beuutifer Of the complexion and a
means of relieving rheumatism and
govt. Sulphur baths have long been
recognized as the most efficient means
of curing eruptive and rheumatic dis
eases. They are somewhat too expen-
sive, however, for u modest purse.
GLENN's SULPHUR SOAP is a cheapand
perfectly reliable substitute for them,
since it accomplishes the same results
with equal certainty and celebrity. Be-
sides removing unhealthy granulations.
1t improves the texture Of the skin and
clarifies It.
