Reduction in Fare.

A reduction in fare is ordered from
Deadwood to Cheyenne or Sidney, over
the Cheyenne and Black Hills Stage
lines, to $4,000, first class fare. These
are the old popular routes, and the
coaches are running through to Sidney
in 60 hours and Cheyenne in four days,
making close connections for trains
east over the U. P. r. r.
LUKE VOORHEES,, Supt.
The above notice, which appears in
the Deadwood Times, is pronounced by
Superintendent Voorhees,, of the Chey-
enne and Black Hills Stage Co., as I'M
authorized, and n so far rs it
relates to the running time between
Deadwood and Cheyenne, and from
Deadwood to Sidney.
The fare from Deadwood to Chey-
enne and Sidney has been reduced to
$4,000; but the running time is the
same to both places, about sixty hours.
The stages for Cheyenne leave Dead
wood every day, while the Sidney
coaches leave three times a week.

paper that is printed on the train as it

Jolly Nebraska excursionists, who an
not get over their old habit of serving
out more copy to the editorial devil who
accompanies them on their trip. Many
of the editors, accompanied by their
lady friends, strolled through the princi-
pal part of our city while the train
waited for the hungry to dine at the
Railroad House and Inter-Ocean, and
expressed themselves as thoroughly
well pleased with the orderly and thrifty
appearance of Cheyenne and her people,
and at the number of emigrant trains
mot bogus ones, Sidney,) that were
passing through the streets or were
being loaded with genuine freight for
the Hills. They expressed themselves
pretty freely in reference to the future
of Cheyenne. and seemed to think that
a railroad would most undoubtedly be
built from this place to some point in
the Hills, laying great stress upon the
fact that, the road from Denver here
being already in operation for some
years, that very naturally it would con-
tinue on to the mining country in the
north, tapping two lines as it will, the
X. p. and U. p. roads, and
therefore much more preferable than
the proposed Sidney route. They did
not seem to speak very favorably of the
Yankton and Fort Pierre route on ac-
count of the storms and SHOWS that
wohld impede the trains for at least
eight months out of the year. All re-
roir, excursionists. We wish you a
good time. y -

To the Editor Of The Leader:
At noon to-day the enlisted warriors
of this Agency, numbering 600, with
about 200 others, with Lieut.. Clark, Of
Crooks staff, commanding, passed in
review before Gen. Crook. Lieut. Clark
formed the line east of the Agency
buildings. The Indians broke into
eighteen p~latoons, and executed the
march in fine style.
Afterwards the chiefs formed in line,
and rode within a few PAGES of Gen.
Crook, and then dismounted and shook
hands with him.
Crazy Horse, who met the General
for the first time, knelt as he took the
Generals hand. His example was fol-
lowed by most of the others. Little
Big-Man Vas conspicuous for his al
most complete nudity.
Gen. Crook led the way to the Agen-
cy, where a great council took place.
Crazy Horse, in the opening speech,
said: "You sent tobacco to my camp
and invited Inc to come in. When the
tobacco reached me / started and kept
moving till / reached here. l have
been waiting ever since arriving, for
Gen. Crook, and now my heart has
been made happy. In coming this way
/ picked out a place where 1 wish to
live hereafter. / put a stake in the
ground to mark the spot. There is
plenty of game in that country. All
of my relatives here approve of my
choice. 1 want them to go back with
me and always live there together.
Young-Man-Afraid- of : His Horses,
Red Cloud, No-Water, Iron-Hawk and
others followed, expressing a desire to
be moved north.
All express an intention to abide by
the decision of the Great Father in all
things.
Iron-Hawk said: "The time has gone
by when the Indians will laugh at the
words of the Great Father. Hereafter
they will take his word as law"
Many asked for schools for the proper
care of their children. tr.
Spotted Tail was the last speaker.
He spoke of previous treaties that had
been broken, and entered a general
complaint against the bald-headed COM
m%issioners sent here at different times.
He asked for permission to go to Wash
ington, that he might talk with the
Great Father.
Gen. Crook made a short speech and
said he had nothing to do with the
commissioners, but would do all he had
agreed to-no more, no less. He said
he could send a. delegation to Washing
ton. The council then broke up. The
Indians are well pleased with the result.

DISTINGUISHED Visitors.

Hon. Chas. Stanford, of Schenectady,
N. Y, accompanied by his family,
consisting of Mrs. Stanford, Misses
Nora, Jennie and Maude, and Master
Victor Stanford, and Mr.: E. N. How
ell, of New York City, passed through
Cheyenne yesterday. in Gov. Sanford's
private car, Ell route for Salt Lake and
California. Il
The party left Schenectady early last
week, stopping at Niagara, Chicago
and Omaha, arriving in this city on
Sunday evening. From here our visi-
tors made an excursion to Colorado,
visiting the Clear Greek and Virginia
Cahons, Central, Idaho, Colorado
Springs and Manitou. Returning to
Cheyenne Thursday, they left yesterday
for Salt Lake City, and thence go to San
Francisco, where they will be the guests
of Gov. Stanford. Mr.. Howell, of this
party, is an old miner, well known on
the Pacific coast, who intends making
an extended tour through the Califor-
mia mining region, and OH his return
will visit the Black Hills.

We intsEviewed Nh. James lsesyy
yesterday who came here for the pur-
pose of attending his trial which takes
place this coming week on account of
the trouble between him and the late
MI. Harrison. Mr.. L. is apracticalmin-
er and he thinks the Hills are overrun
by poor emigration The weather has
been very bad and consequently retards
mining operations. He thinks that
70 far as the future of the Hills
is concerned, that it will be
a grand success. The great trouble
is the want of mills that will save a
fair per centage of the gold. 1t will re-
quire pans, settlers and amalgamating
machinery, etc, to properly and thor
oughly work the ores that are being
mined. There is quartz enough in the
country to induce capitalists to visit it
and look around If nothing more. The
people inhabiting the different portions
Of the Hills are disguised with Dakota
rule.

We would rather undertake the con-
tract of putting a mansard roof on the
head of Il belligerent and offensive in
dividual, than to attempt to get away
from the merciless attentions of some
ten or more hoodlums who have some
evil designs upon our person. We were
forcibly reminded of this yesterday
afternoon, when we suddenly came
upon a party of youthful FOUNDERS who
had surrounded an unfortunate man,
who had incurred their d~ispleasure.
Decayed oranges, stray sticks and rocks,
with him for Il target, was the upshot
of this little difference, and if one of
the guardians of the peace had not
CHANGED along just at this crisis in the
battle, there is no knowing how it
would have ended.

Editor CheyeRns Leader:
Extensive preparations are being
made by Gen. Crook towards the in
augural of aR aggressive campaign
against the Sioux during the summer.
Grain in immense quantities is being
shipped to this post preparatory to the
expedition taking the field. It is ex-
pected here, that Gen. Crook will sepa-
rate his command at Wind creek, as a
vidette post has been established there,
and large supplies of forage are being
freighted to that rendezvous. One por-
ton of the expedition will concentrate
on the Belle Fouche, as the grain left
at Mud creek, indicates that this
stronghold Of the savage is to be oper-
ated against; while the other portion
pWsues the hostiles in the vicinity CT
Crazy Wolnan's Fork and Goose creek.
The thorough manner in which Gen.
Crook has entered into the campaign
of II, indicates the ultimate subiuga-
ton of all the hostile Indians.

A Fraud.

Chas. II. Terry, Tor Tessy), who visit
ed Cheyenne a few weeks ago, and inter-
viewed our people on behalf of ,'Vick-
ery's Fireside Visitor" and succeeded
in collecting a large sun of money, is
advertised as a fraud by the publisher
of that paper, who announces in a card
that he will pay S25. 90 for the arrest of
the fellow. Terry will not make his
appearance again in Cheyenne, as some
wrathful ladies, whom he swindled out
of a dollar for the "Visitor'' and a
handsome chrome, would not deal very
kindly with this cheap fraud.
Patrons of the "Fireside Visitor"
should send their subscriptions direct
to p. o. Vickery, Augusta, Me.

A Jumper Jumped.

Mr.. Babcock, one of the fest settlers
in these Hills, a man thoroughly ac-
quainted with the course of the mineral
belts of the country, returned to this
city on Wednesday last after a three
weeks prospecting tour through u
newly discovered mining district. On
his departure he left a sick man in pos
session of his house in ElizabethtOwn,
allowing him to occupy it free Of charge
till he recovered his health. On re-
turning yesterday, Mr.. Babcork found
his house had been jumped by a new
arrival, who claimed possession of the
property on the ground that Mr.. Bah
cock took possession prior to the ratifi-
cation of the treaty. This brought
before Babcock's mind the earlier days
of his pioneer life, when he with his
small party marked the trail through
the nov by the blazing of trees, and
enduring the hardships and privation
of camp life, while the Indians threat.
ened them on every side. This slim
excuse forjumping Babcock's house, so
enraged him, when he sincerely be-
lieved that certain parties would never
have ventured into the Hills, if he
with others had not opened the way,
that he Immediately drew his revolver
and backed the jumper into the street.
Although Babcock was in no way JUS
titled for proceeding in the manne he
he did, when he had his remedy in the
law, yet in another view of the case,
the affair has mitigating features in his
favor. Black Hills Times.

Pei. Nathan Sbeppard.

We are sorry that we could not at
tend Prof. Nathan Sheppard's lecture
Of last evening. We would have done
so, but we were unable. just at this
moment the Office is short-handed and
the Major and his 'sbest man" have to
devote themselves to the duties with
out allowing themselves any margin to
go out and see the sights. We wanted
to see the Professor; we know he is
good. We went in and heard him for
five minutes on Thursday evening, on
the subject of "Do You Know How to
Hold Your Tongue" but last night we
were pressed for time. We wanted to
hear Dickens with Readings'-and
we could not. We hope this explana-
will be satisfactory. 1t is a great deal
better to do this, than to dilate at
length upon something we did not see.

For ways that + dark and tricks

For ways that are dark and tricks
that are vain,r IS decidedly peculiar.
Yesterday, when the Nebraska Edi-
torial Association" passed through
that wicked burgh, the members of the
press, who by the way do not happen to
lack understanding, were treated to a
very stale side show performance, free
gratis, which had been gotten up for
their special ediication and d~electation
for this occasion, to be repeated
upon every other opportunity that may
present itself. Five stage coaches were
drawn up at the station as the train
approached, loaded to repletion with all
the bummers, bilks, dead beats and 9TH
ers of the sweet scented element of this
second edition of ~Julesburg, and
amidst the footing of horns and the
fanfare Of bngles, started ostensibly for
the Hills, rafting away ut - tremen-
dous pace, followed by a send of from
three small boys, whose united and
combined cries of Eli! Hi" i'm con
nection with the barking of a sick dog
and the mellifluous trumpetings of an
astonished government mule, added
not a little to the success of the enter
prise as a local advertisement of the
increasing growth and business enter
prise and capacity Of the sinful Sidney
ties to take in the stranger in the land.
1t would probably have been a very
good thing for Sidney, and a very bad
thing for the Hills, if these stages had
kept on until they reached the place
they ostensibly started for, but the
stage company could not see that part
of the performance or at least where
that joke came in, and so exactly in
one minute and forty-five seconds after
they had started, and when the sand
bluffs of Sidney had hid them from the
scornful and i~ncredulous gaze of the
excursionists, the "cargoes'' were
" dumped on the prairie and left to
shift for themselves. While this was
going on, twenty-five wagons belonging
to government freighters were loaded
or being loaded with boxes full of emp
tiness and sacks filled with hay, as fast
freight for the Hills.
One of the editorial excursionists,
who had an eye to business and took in
the situation at a glance, said that the
whole affair was perfectly farcical.
Although he admired the spirit
that prompted the S%idneyites to adver-
tise themselves and to do all that they
could to bring business into their vii
lage, he could not say that he liked their
principle. However, after the train
started, it afforded the excursionists
a fruitful source for conversation and
further amusement, and the gentleman
who furnished us this item of news has
some idea Of dramatizing the affair un-
der the heading of "Sinful Sidney
Sickening Slowly" a s a companion
piece to Chilly Button, the Bilious
Blk of the Black Hills" that will
shortly be produced at McDaniel's the.
atre in this city.

that would enable them to carry out
their contracts. The men who do the
work should have the pay direct from
the government, and not through GER
