Lame Deer, chief Of . hostile band Of Gioux.
who has been At Spotted Tail asencv for =
week or two-just long enough to hi bis
own, and the cspacious stomschs Of bis foI.

a supply Of ammunition-had left the
aaRency and gone on the war path again.
This was in the shape OF . street rumorl and
consequently but little crece,nce was eiv,n
il. Last night, however, solid evidence of
the fact was presented. Dean Witcher.
youngest son Of N. L. Witcher. the vhole.
sale grocer and freighter, Of this city, was
brought in by the Bismarck stage With 4
bullet wound through his arm. He Wa
shot q sulpher Springs, about sixty miles
from here, on the Bismarck route. The cir.
cumstances, Of the case are these. THUS
day afternoon the train that he was
with went into camp at the
Springs, near a company of United
states soldiers, who were out in pursuit of
the fleeing reds. About 8 o'clock that niobt
the victim went out to round up the cattle.
He was astride of a mule, and upon reach.
ing a point q mile his wagon corral, he dis.
covered a couple of ponies. Thinking It
somewhat strange that the ponies were ont
on the prairie unattended, he approached
them, and on coming up within fftv feet Of
them he called out, "who is there ?" He
got . reply from a rife. The bail vb;,tl.d
close to his head, and the second one tool
effect in his right forearm as he was in the
act OF turning his animal, passing through
It and fracturing mi Of the bones. The
tiash and the reports Of the rifles stampeded
the mule, and the boy says he made cam
in about two bounds. He was not aware nf
his wound until after reaching his compan.
ions, though he experienced a peculiar
sensation after the second shot-sort Of
a shock, which he at the time attributed IN
fright Upon discovering bis wound a SOL

Frank, brother of the sufferer. who re-.
turned with him, says a man was killed in a
hay field that morning in the vicinity of
these springs, and the ranchmen in that
section are all on their ears. They declare
that the soldiers are acting as an escort for
the scalp Lifters, and for some reason known
only to themselves, guided the red devils
into that country. These sarcastic frontiers
men say that they a no protection from
the blue coats. All they as. is for them to

The lndians-in case any of them should
happen to be left behind.

The Pittsburg Commercial speaks
cheerfully of trade prospects, after re-
viewing the last six months business in
that CITY.
The river shipments of coal from Pitts
burg the last six months make the largest
total of any similar length of time in the
history OF the coal trade.
Birmingham advices, 23, of the London
Times, are that indents. from Canada
show some improvement, and from the
United States the demand is increasing
for chains, guns, tinplates, fishhooks, &c.
The Secretary of State and Attorney
General of North Carolina agree in re-
plying to Raleigh insurance agency that
they cannot lawfully write policies for
companies not authorized to do business

The Titusville Herald 7th, says: "The
news from Bullion Run was very encour-
aging for better prices; there were several
dry holes reported and an indication that
the territory has reached its climax. The
shipments for last month we're over 49,
600 barrels per day, and still continue

THE President "does not see what is
to be gained by malicious prosecution
of Wells and Anderson" Without stop
ping to point out that the prosecution of
torgers and perjurers in the regular course
of the law can never be properly called
"malicious," we may mention for the
benefit of the Presidents torpid con-
science, that among the things to be gain
ed by the prosecution in question are the
following: First, the punishment of the
criminals themselves; second, the brand
ing of the offense as Que which may not
hearatter be committed with impunity; /;
third, the satisfaction of justice, so loug
Knocked by the President of the United
States, and so lately defied by majority
of the Electoral Commission; fourth, the
direction of public Ottention to the frauds
which derived their force only from the
success of the federal power in prevent

creation of such public sentiment a.
gainst the vitiation of the ballot that the
fraud first triumphant in American his

Hayes will still say that none of these re-
suits are worth striving after; if so, he on

ger resposible for any breach of morality
