RED CLOUD, May Is.
To the Cheyenne Leader:
Crazy Horse has been very sick since
his arrival here; for several dayshe was
not expected to live; since Sunday,
however, he has been improving. His
illness was caused by ~over-eating and
the sudden changefrom buffalo stIaight,
and but little of that, to wheat bread,
coffee sugar and strawberries andcream,
which are furnished at this place OF
plenty, and it nearly killed him. TITS
a pity it didn't.-ED.)
Lieut.. Clark, of Gen. Crooks staff,
has enlisted Crazy Horse and fifteen of
his head men; this was done to better
control the Indians at the Agency. A
remarkable scene occurred when these
red soldiers we're sworn into Uncle
Sans service. They swore with up
lifted hands to I've true and faithful to
the white mans government. The
sullen, disconnected look worn by the
hostiles when they first came in, is fast
disappearing now. Three of the lead
ing chiefs have been advanced to the
grade of ~Sergeants, Spotted Tail, Red
Cloud ..and Crazy Horse. The latter
| said at the last council before his en-
listment, that he wanted to 'sget along
straight and well" at the Agency, and
'sthat he would like a hundred of his
best men enlisted;'' that if any change
was made in the location of the Agency,
it ought to he removed north, where
the land is better and where the chill
dren would be properly brought up.
A fearful hail storm prevailed here
yesterday, stampeding all the cavalry
horses, breaking windows and raising
Cain generally. The am season has
set in on the bad lands, making the
Sidney route terribly rough and muddy,
and almost impossible. Freighters and
emigrants should avoid 1t.

WEDNESDAY, MAY 16. 1877.
KILLED BY the Cars.

Thomas Lawton, or Lorton, came to
this city on Monday last from the East,
presumably from Nebraska City. He
wa accompanied in his journey by his
brother, who left him, however, at Sid
ney, where he took the stage for the
Black Hills. Thomas came on to
Cheyenne, which place he reached in
due time, as previously stated, and
where he was well acquainted. From all
that we can learn of the facts of the
case, he visited the theatre in the eve
ming, kept by MI. McDaniel's, and
passed the best portion of the evening
in the place, until he suddenly remind
ed Mr.. McDaniel's that he intended to
leave for Denver. Thereupon, Mac,
glancing at his watch, informed him
that he had but a few minutes time to
spare to catch the train and, appraised
of this fact, he babe him goodbye and
fastened away. The next thing that
was heard of him was condensed into
the following dispatch received by the
proprietor of the theatre, and is as fol-
lows:
EVANS, Col, May 10, 1877.
To Mr.. Jas. McDdniels:
A man supposed to be Geo. l.. Wool
sey, from Nebraska City, who was at
your place last night, was killed by the
cars here to-day. Has he any friends
there that will come for the body or Or
der disposition of body? Answer quick.
E. P. House, Act'g Coroner.
Mr.. John Wall also received a dis
patch of a similar character-and it is
owing to the courtesy of both these
gentleman, Mr.. McDaniel's and Mr..
Wall, that we are enabled to give our
readers the information herein con-
tanned, relating to this sad affair. 1t
is intimated that he has two sisters re-
siding at Boulder, Colorado, and it is
known that at one time he was in the
employ of Mr.. James Allen, of this
city.
