The Sentence Of the Court Martial was
Suspension From Rank and Com
mand for One Year, But Grant
RENTED II. IS

The proceedings, etc., Of the court
martial before which Colonel Joseph J.
Reynolds, Third Cavalry, was tried for
"Disobedience to the lawful commands
of his superior oficer,' "violation Of
the Forty-second Article Of War;"
conduct to the prejudice of good order
and military discipline" and conduct
unbecoming an officer and a gentle
man" have been reviewed by the War
Department, with the following result
The specifications in support of the
above charges allege that being ordered
to join General Crook at Lodge Pole
creek, n. T., March 10, 1876, Colonel
Reynolds marched his troops away, in
tending to prevent a junction ; that he
destroyed property captured from the
Indians when he was ordered to save 1t;
that he misbehayed before the enemy,
a away with his command and left
his killed and wounded in the hands of
the Indians /; that having captured a
large herd Of ponies and mules he per-
mitted the Indians to recapture 700 of
them and made no effort to retake
them, thus defeating any further OPP
erations at the time against said 1ndi-
ans THAT he detached a company to
charge the enemy and failed and neg
lected to support it, and that, having
preferred charges against Captain Hem
ry E. Noyes, Second Cavalry, and sub
jected him to the annoyance and morti-
acation of a court martial, he solemnly
declared that he was not the accuser or
prosecutor of said Noyes.
Il FINDING AND SENTENCE.
The court found not guilty of misbe-
havior before the enemy, but guilty of
conduct prejudicial to good order and
military discipline in leaving his dead
in the hands of the Indians not guilty
of conduct unbecoming an officer and a
gentleman /; guilty of disobedience of
orders, and also found the facts as al
legged with regard to preferring charges
against Captain Noyes, but attached no
criminality thereto, and sentenced him
to be suspended from rank aud COM
mand for one year.
In view, however, of the long, dis
tinguished and faithful services of
Colonel Reynolds, President Grant wal
pleased to remit the sentence.

Some OF our Taxpayers want to know
whether u city fathers are going to
give us something in the line of perma-
nent improvements this year. They
say the city spends annually more
than twenty-five thousand dollars, and
we have but little to show for it. Can't
we have some improvements made in
and around u city park I? Will not
the city fathers mature q plan looking
in the direction of water works ? These
are the questions put to us frequently,
and we must confess we cannot give as
surance that the city trustees will do
either one of these things.
We would urge the gentlemen who
have the city's welfare in their charge
to stop fighting among themselves, and
to set to work at once, in systematic
way, to give the city and its taxpayers
some permanent benefit from the many
thousands of dollars that are bound to
be expended before the end of the year.
Do not let it be said, as it was a year
ago, "The city trustees will not let the
city build water works, neither will
they permit a private corporation to do
it." Parties are ready to furnish Chey-
enne with gas and water works, If the
city will give certain guarantees. By
all means, let these propositions be con
sidered at once, and, If found impracti-
cable or too e~xtravagant in their main
features, let them be rejected, and let
the city do the work in a better or less
expensive manner. But, we pray you,
the honorable members Of the board of
trustees, do something to relieve our
taxpayers from the very monotonous
round Of heavy taxation without CIV
ing them a solid and lasting equivalent
in return.

Especial Telegram to The Leader.l
FORT LARAMIE, April 10.-Spotted
Tail will be in Camp Sheridan by the
Esd, at the latest. Gen. Crook and
Lieuts. Bourke and Schuyler, of his
staff, will leave here in o day or two
to meet the Indians at Camp Sheridan,
and it Is thought the Indian war is
over in this section. Sitting Bull and
band are about all the hostiles left,
and they have fed into the British pos
sessions.
The Indians are badly demoralized,
almost in q famished condition, and
their ponies IT very poor. Spotted
Tail has the Minneapolis, Uncapapas
and Nobows with him, and Crazy
Horse has come in OH the west side OF
the mountains with the Cheyennes,
Ogalallas. Arapahoes, and some more
Of the Minneconjous. AL have agreed
to go direct to the Agencies, and are
moving as fast as the wretched condi-
ton Of their animals and themselves
will permit. Lieut.. Clark, of the I'd
cavalry, one of Gen. Crooks aids, who
has been stationed at Red Cloud Agen-
cy for some time. has enlisted u fine
body Of Indians to operate against the
hostiles If necessary. 1t is hardly pos
sible for an Indian War where so many
have surrendered and enlisted. +.

THE ORIGIN OF A
Peculiar Predicament Of a Rlushing Belle
Queer Questions From a Curious Child.

A young lady, well known in the ex-
elusive first circles Of Cheyenne society
for unrivaled personal charms and ele-
gance of accomplishments, was recently
driven around to make a c~o7gratula-
tory call upon a married lady friend who
was happily convalescipg from that oc-
casional sacred event in the lives of
welded ladies, which, far from being a
sickness, sthe perfect elimination of
their health. She was shown into the
parlor, and for the few minutes required
to arrange for the reception In that
room where mother and child were do
ing as well as could be expected, was
left with no other than the only son and
heir of the house, then in his fourth
year. But Charlie was fully equal to
the situation. Lowering his tone into
the confidential, he asked:
Miss -, 90 dot a baby?"
The young lady gave one swift glance
around to assure herself there was no
other nearer of this pertinent ques-
ton, and replied:
mo, Charlie, dear, / have not"
Sand did 90 never have a babyp"
In spite of the youth of her eager in
terlocutor her handsome eyes dropped
before his ingenious gaze, and her pref
ty face flushed as she replied:
mo, Charlie, / never did. Is not
this "a beautiful day?"
"And amt 90 never doin to have no
babyP" PERSISTED Charlie, declining to
enter on the tempting conversational
side-track of the weather.
my boy, I can't tell. Tell me all
the names of whom those are the pho
%tographs."
"And don't 90 want a baby?"
why, Charlie, what a close ques-
TONER you are. If you are not careful
you will grow into one of those newspa-
per interviewers, and then what will
your poor mamma think of you2"
Because" continued Charlie, utter
ly refusing to be switched off. 81 know

And they're awful cheap, too. My papa

"Well, Charlie. I'm sure I'm much

ooh. NTH -, 90 needn't do. I'll
tell my papa juth ath thoon ath ever he
tums home that 90 want a baby and
he'll Diet one for 90, and"
That young lady seized that little boy
by his two shoulders, and, leaning over
so a. to look full into his eyes, she said,
with and impressiveness lent by sudden
terror:
"See here, Charlie, listen to me. I
don't want any baby yet and if you ever
say anything about it to your papa I'll
never like you any more at all, never,
never, Now, will you promise?"
"Well, if 90 don't want a baby I
