WASHINGTON, Nov. 2s.-Private advices, not Of
fcialy confirmed, have been received 70 the effect
that 700 of the Indians who on the way to the
Missouri River, and now about hundred miles
from their objective point, have left the main
body 1t will be remembered that 2, 500 additional
Indians joined the marching Sioux from across the
country. and short ratiOns may have caused this

would personally superintend the movement Of tho
Sioux, and accompany them on their march. The
General is now at Omaha and his personal presence
might have prevented any such stampede as that

A Bold Exploit.

The following is from the diary of the
late Mr.. Adolphus, the barrister and his
torian: "May s, 1910: We had dinner
party, among them Mrs. Matthews and
Curran, who told an amusing story OF an
agent to nobleman in Ireland. 1t was
known to some ruffians in the neighbor-
hood that he had collected large sum
for rents due to his employer. In the
middle of the night he heard thieves
breaking into his house. He jumped
out of bed, and arming himself with a
carving knife stood behind the door, and
closed it, 80 that only one could enter at
time, which one would be shown In the
moonlight while he remained in the
shade. Four of the thieves entered,
and were dispatched one after another,
those without not knowing what had
happened. The fifth saw the CLEAN Of
the blade in the moonlight, seized the
man. and a tremendous scuf1e ensued.
The agent struck several blows with his
weapon, but made no impression. He was
got down and his antagonist over him,
when feeling the knife, he found the point
was bent. He had the presence of mind to
press it strongly against the floor, 80 as
to turn it back, stabbed his adversary
dead, and, as he was alone in the house
and could have no assistance till the
morning, retired to bed. He was
knighted for the exploit. Some one
said to him: Il wonder you could go to
bed while there we're on the floor the
corpses of five persons whom you had
killed?' His answer was: 1t did make
me very uneasy; could not get wink
of sleep for nearly an hour y"
