To the Editor Of The Leader:
The Red Cloud Indians. are ell
camped on White Earth river, about
sixty-fve miles from the Missouri.
They come in to the mouth Of the Vel
low Medicine, where the supplies are,
which they are quietly consuming, and
moping away the winter moons. Near
ly all the Northern Indians that were
left after the first exodus have lately
stampeded, and ''gone where the wood
bine twineth." They left the impression
with the Red Cloud Indians; that they
were going to Sitting Bull, and that he
was to come down from the land of the
White Mother with large forces; the
Great Mother would send her troops
along, with and thunder and
lightning, and take the Black Hills.
This was all told them by runner from
Sitting Bull. However absurd it may
all be, it nevertheless indicates that
the spirit is abroad, and that the end

If something is not done to check
those ranting devils before the ides of
March, the voice of the turtle dove will
not be heard in the Black Hills, Big
Horn or Tongue River countries next
spring.
1t is due to the Red Cloud Indians
to say that they did all they could to
prevent their unwelcome visitors from
leaving. They not only exposed their
plots and plans, but rounded them up,
and shot their horses, and took away
their guns, and in n instance tore a
medal from the neck of a scoundrel
who pretended fidelity to the govern
ment.
There are but two minimum COM
panies of cavalry here, who are ready
and willing to do all they can. If there

the CHEYENNE CARRIAGE MANDATORY.

Cheyenne's pioneer carriage manu-
factory, owned by Mr.. y. Robertson,
the well known carriage maker, is rap
idly gaining in favor among our people.
The work turned out at these works is
first class in every respect, and equal,
if not superior to the best produced by
the celebrated eastern manufacturers.
Mr.. Robertson has on exhibition at his
factory several specimens Of his work
manship, and they should be inspected
by all who can appreciate good work in
this line. He has recently completed
for Hurlbut Bros, a fine Concord road
wagon, with side and end springs,
beautifully painted and finished, with
the best and most durable trimmings.
He has also, several fine buggies and
light road wagons, one of which, a rea-
beauty, has been purchased by Judge
Carey. Mr.. Robertson may well be
proud of the products of his establish
ment. He employs only first-class
mechanics, all of whom are masters of
their particular branch of trade, and
this accounts for his rapidly increasing
business and the fine work produced at
the Cheyenne Carriage Mandatory.

A study of Banning's bill to reorgan-
ize the army discloses a very well de-
veloped case Of cloven foot. In the
first place he reduces its force from
25 1000 to 10000 men, a step apparently
economical, but in reality extravagant,
on account of increased expenditure for
transportation, involved in moving a
weak force over our territory. Next
it breaks down the skeleton of organi-
cation which it has always been deemed
%expedient to maintain, so that the army
can be speedily enlisted up to larger
dimensions in case of necessity. Final
ly, it provides for the dismissal of about
one-quarter of the officers now on the
rolls. Section Al of the bill provides
that if Congress shall at any time re-
fuse to make the necessary appropria-
tions for its support this refusal or neg
lect shall be deemed equivalent to an
express act for the abolition of the mil
itary establishment, and the army shall
be forthwith dismissed. That is to say,
if this section should become the law, a
dispute over the army appropriation
such IS happened at the close Of the
last session, would peremptorily dis
miss every officer and mfa; from the
general of the army down to private
life. leaving the next Congress to create
it anew, and out Of such material as it
chose. The last section of the bill is
also very suggestive. 1t repeats specifi-
cally five sections of the revised stat
utes, together with all others inconsist-
emit with this bill. One of these sec.
tions to be repealed, declares that mo
person who has served in any capacity
in the military, naval, or civil service
Of the so-called Confederate States, or
of either of the states in instruction
during the late rebellion, shall be ap-
pointed to any position in the army Of
the United States" Thus Mr.. Ban
ming proposes to open the door for the
re-entering of old officers from the
South into the army, and fully justiies
the charges that have been current for
some time that this is a real Democratic
programme.

How Gould Travels.

Not long ago a New York Tribune re-
porter waylaid q special train which was
transporting Jay Gould and Sidney Dillon
out west on their annual tour of inspection
of the Union Pacific and its branches. He

latter day combination cars, which serve
for sleeper, drawing room, and dining CIR.

Gould explained to the reporter that cve.y

New York he was IN communication with
friends and brokers of that city. His tolc-
graph operator had oil the necessary instru-
ments attached to one of the tables in the
chr, with ground aud connecting wire,
running through one panel of the car. On
arriving at n terminal station, Mr.. Gould
notified his friends in New York upon what

AN C BUILDING.

At the recent session Of The Wyom-
ing legislature Albany county was au-
thorized to issue bonds to the amount
of $4,000 for the purpose of erecting a
new school building at Laramie City.
The citizens of District No. l met and
decided to issue the bonds and build,
and architects Throughout the country
were called upon to make plans. The
Board met at Laramie last Tuesday
night to examine the plans, of which
twenty-six were submitted, by leading
architects of Philadelphia, 1.-THE archi-
tect of the centennial buildings submit
ting two) Chicago, st. Louis, Omaha,
st. Joseph, Dubuque, Denver, and
other places. After thorough inspec-
ton the plan submitted by Mr.. II. w.
Jordan, the talented Cheyenne archi-
tect, was decided to be the best and
most complete, and the Board accord
ingly adopted it and appointed Mr..
Jordan superintendent Of construction.
This is a fine feather in MI. Jordan's
cap, when we consider the unprecedent-
ed competition.
The building is to have two stories,
with a high basement. The dimen-
sions are 7Sx92 feet; the height of the
building proper will be co feet, sur

The Building will be heated by hot air

Latest From Gen. Miles.

Advices from Fort Keogh, NJ. T.,
state that the main body of Gen. Miles
field force is en- route to Fort Peck. He
will move on the arrival of $50 recruits
from Fort Smelling for the Fifth Infan-
try, Miles regiment. Gen. Miles in
quires of Gen. Terry what the status of
Sitting Bull is, and how he shall be
treated in the possible event of Miles
meeting him and having a successful
trial of arms. He confirms all the re-
ports to the effect that the old warrior
is on this side the line. Sitting Bull is
paying no attention to the boundary,
and is roaming where he pleases on
an enemy at war with the Government.
Miles wants TO know if he shall treat
him us such and give him what Joseph
got, and what the terms of surrender
shall be. Miles, as an inferior officer,
desires a bill of particulars before leav-
ing Fort Keogh. Fort Peck is sup
posed to be the most exposed point, and
around that Miles will rally.
A dispatch from Bismarck states that
$50 recruits for Gen. Miles arrived
there Wednesday, and Immediately took
up their march of 400 miles for Fort
Buford and the Tongue river post.
