THE BATTLE OF BIG HOLE.

We are informed as follows regarding the
Chief Joseph, under date of Chicago, Sep
TENDER 49, General Sheridan is in receipt of
the official report of the battle of Big Hole,
Montana, August 9, and of the operations in
that district preceding the battle. Colonel
Gibbon reflects severely on the inhabitants of
Montana, who sustained the murderous Nez
Perces by trading off provisions for stock
stolen by them from the whites, and thus
prolonging their flight and adding to the dan
ger of pursuit The best estimate made of
their strength gave them 260 warriors well
armed and equipped. By forced marches he
came up with the Indians with command of
II officers, 1872 men and 81 citizens The at
tack was made late at night, the Indians be-
ing completely surprised But, as they imme-
diately sought the bushes and poured their
volleys into the troops as the latter came into
open ground, they did considerable execution.
However, in twenty minutes the whole camp
was in possession of the troops. The Indians,
being driven out, still shot with deadly effect
at long range. By change of base shelter
was obtained, and retaliating fire was COM
menced, with equal destruction of Indian life.
The Indians, in the meantime, had captured
the howitzer, which was coming on under
escort, the privates who were with it fleeing
incontinently and leaving the officers to an
unequal fight. During the day various
strategies were employed, but it was IL
o'clock at night before the Indians finally
On the 18th the dead were buried
Gen. Howard came up that day, but too late
late to render assistance The reports speak
in the highest praise of the conduct of the

showing twenty-nine killed and forty woun-

A big burden of logs is thus limited at by the
Reno Evening Gazette of Wednesday: 'While
on a flying trip through the timber recently
we ran against the best truck in the ''uni-
verse" So said Abner Mead, who was the
chief engineer when it hauled the boss
load of logs. The logs were all monsters and
contained $1,000 feet of lumber. The load
would weigh from 60 to 70 tons and was con-
Quoted to the Banner Mill safely by this same
Abner Mead and histrusty oxen, Buck, Brandy
Tige, Jerry, ct ais. The load was so enormous
that those interested had it photographed, and
it looked like three-story house with
cupola. There's no joke about this, because
we were in the mountains long enough to tell
a big story if we wanted to. Mead thinks he
could have hauled some more but for sore
footed OK, and wants to exchange photographs
with any truck that feels strong The mon
ster was christened the Coon Dog"

BOLD AND DARING ROBBERY.

The eastern bound passenger train of the
Union Pacific Railroad was stopped and
the express car plundered of large
amount of money on Tuesday last, Under
date of Cheyenne, September 10, we have
the following particulars "Big Springs,
where the express train was robbed last
night, is water station 1872 miles east OF
this place. The robbers rode up in the even
ing and took possession of everything, throw
ing the telegraph instruments away. red
light was hung out to stop the train, which
arrived at II P. NJ The conductor stepped
off to see what was wanted, and was con-
fronted by two men armed with revolvers,
who ordered him to throw up his hands. The
engineer and fireman were secured, and a
guard placed at each coach door. The station
agent was compelled to knock on the express
car door, and on its being opened for him the
robbers rushed in, overpowered the messen-
ger, Miller, and took possession OF the car.
They secured S65 900 in coin and about $500
in currency from the express company. The
through safe, a stationary one, with comblna-
ton lock- was left undisturbed. It contained
very large sum of money. The passengers
in the coaches were then visited, and relieved
of cash and valuables. The plumber taken
from the passengers is stated to be 81 800 in
cash. four gold watches, and ticket to Chi
cago One man, named Morris, lost gold
watch and $3.50 in money. The arrival of a
freight train evidently interfered with their
plans, for after putting out the fire in the ex-
press locomotive, they mounted and rode off
without disturbing the occupants of the sleep
ing cars. To-day the Union Pacific Railroad
Company and Union Pacific Express Company
offer a reward of SO, 900 for the arrest of the
thieves and the recovery OF the money, pro
rata of the reward to be paid for the recovery
of any portion of the money or capture of any
of the robbers. The Sheriffs of the surround
ing counties and commanding officers of the
military posts throughout Nebraska and Wy
oming Territory, and along the Kansas Pacific
Railroad, have been notified of the robbery,
and everything possible will be done to effect
the arrests

Of movement to secure the pardon of a
man now undergoing sentence in the pene-
Tertiary, the Reno Journal of yesterday morn
ing says: ga petition is being circulated
praying that the Board of Pardons will par
don and restore to citizenship Thos W. Ray
mond, convicted of murder in the second
degree at the September term of the District
Court in 1875, and sentenced to ten years
Imprisonment at hard labor. The circum-
stances under which Raymond was convicted
are still fresh in the minds of our readers.
He and one Mooney become engaged in
shooting scrape on tbs Fair Grounds, and
bullet from Raymond's pistol killed third
person. On account of Toms previous good
character and his excellent conduct since he
has been in prison it is believed that the ends
of justice will be promoted by pardoning him
We are glad to see that our best citizens are
taking this view of the situation and signing
this petition.

THE WELL WORN BONANZA TAX
QUESTION.

The Eureka Sentinel deals with certain
facts, figures and legislative action as follows
"A Washington dispatch, published in day s
Sentinel, states that the docket of the Supreme
Court is three years behind. The same show
ing was made before the legislature last winter
in the bullion tax cases. The papers on ap-
peal in those cases had just been fled at that
time and had not yet left for Washington.
Ex-Chief Justice Lewis, one Of the attorneys
for the State, gave it as his opinion that we
could not get hearing before the Court in
side Of two years. 1t has since been shown in
the card of Lewis & Deal, recently published
in the Storey county papers, that such would
have been the case had not the mining com
panies waived some of the delays which they
might have exacted. 1t was this state of affairs
that commended the proposed bullion compro-
mise bill to honest men DESTROYS of leglslatlng
for the best interests of the State and taxpay-
ers. If the bullion tax could not be collected
fer a term of years, is became absolutely i'm
perative to increase taxes on other property
in order to carry on the State Government.
BY compromising the suits and accepting the
back taxes due the State, all taxes could be
reduced about 80 per cent. As the case stood
then, there can be no question that the sound
policy for the State to pursue, was the accep-
lance of the compromise and reduced taxation.
Our State officers have since compromised the
back tax suits, but the people have not yet
been relieved of any part of the burdens of an
over tax levy"

individual interests at the expense of the peo-
pie; sympathise with working men in the
