He wants Damages.

Our readers will remember that some
days ago William Sheriff, who resides
at Rawlins went down to Denver on
business and soon after his arrival there
was placed under arrest on the charge
Of grand larceny. His arrest was at
the instigation Of certain officers in the
western portion Of this Territory. Sub,
sequent events proved that he was the
wrong man and 1t Is stated that he
has brought suit against the Rawlins
and Denver officials for damages to the
extent Of $4,000. 1t appears that the
Rawlins Sheriff telegraphed to the au.
thorities here to arrest Sheriff. upon
his arrival from the west, but he passed
down to Denver without being observed
here. Upon learning that Sheriff wa.
in Denver, Special Policeman Smith
who is on duty at the Union Pacific de
pot here, went to Denver and had hin
put behind the bars. We await results

Court convened yesterday morning
at 0 O'Clock, Judge Fisher presiding.
The attendance Of spectators was quite
slim, owing to the warm weather and
the lack of general public interest felt
in the cases pending. The cases on
hand, with n exception, were civil
suits, which only the participants were
anxious to know the results. 10
The case Of s. 8. Stanton, charged
with stealing cattle from the Govern

taken up and a large number Of wit

INDIANS.
MAI. Pollock Receives N Order for Their
Rsnoyai-Ihs cosneii WITH he
comnlssIon.

Maj. w. J. Pollock, acting agent at
Spotted Tail agency, has received or
ders to remove his Indians back to the
mouth of the Rosebud, on the south
fork of White river, in Meyer county,
and will commence operations as soon
as contracts can be made for the neces-
sary transportation. This is q task Of
no small magnitude during the season
of midsummer heat now upon us.
From H. q. Dear, who arrived this
morning from Spotted Tail, we learn
that Major Pollack Is already q favor
lite with both reds and whites, though
he has been only q short time In charge
at Spotted Tail. Mr.. Dear says that
the night before the commission ar
rived a council Of Spotted Tails Indi-
ans was held at which the subject Of
the removal was thoroughly discussed.
Spotted Tail was made spokesman, and
the willy old diplomat covered himself
with glory, as usual. He told the com.
mission that his Indians were going to
move; that the President had promised
it and they favored it; that 1t didn't
make any difference about the decision
Of the gentlemen composing the com
mission; that they could go and view
the proposed new agency site II they
saw it, but as the money paid for over.
land freighting was to come out of the
allowances belonging to the Indians,
the Indians wanted this freighting job
themselves, that they might receive the
money for it, which would otherwise
be taken from them and paid to whites
that unless they were moved inside Of
ten days, or received a guarantee of re-
moval within twenty days, they would
burn all the present agency buildings
and pick up their bundles and walk t.
the mouth Of the Rosebud. Is
The location selected for the new
agency is about seventy miles from tn,
Missouri, with a supply depot at thu
mouth Of White river, where good
will be landed from steamboats,. Yank

THE HAMMOCK WAR.
The Original Cause. that Led to II.

As heretofore stated in The LEADER,
there is little doubt but that the upris-
ing Of the Bannock Indians is largely
attributable to the mistreatment they
have received at the hands of the
agents whose duty it was and is to see
that the stipulations entered into by
the Government are faithfully adhered
to by both parties mentioned in the
contract. Gen. Crook, upon his return
to Omaha from Fort Hall, so expressed
himself, and foreshadowed the troubles
now upon the unoffending settlers Of
the northwestern states and territories,
While d~eprecating the Inevitable re
suits and willing to do all In his power
to aid the Government in meeting the
emergency, he also severely condemned
the causes which have led to an
Indian war.
Capt. cambridge, c~ommandant at
Fort Hall, who recently passed through
Cheyenne, with three Bannock priso-
ners, upon his arrival at Omaha in an
interview with the Bee, alludes to the
troubles in this wise:
The Bannocks claim, and have main
tained all along, that they have been
badly treated at the hands Of the Gov
eminent, ms they did not get the same
rations as the ''bad Indians, y especially
h Sioux, whom they call 'sbad In
dams" and who have been acting
treacherously towards the government.
The Bannocks call themselves s'good
Indians" They got only five pounds
of -four and five pounds of fresh meat
each for seven days, this being the
weekly issue. They say they had some
thing to eat for three days, they were
then starved for four days. The lack
Of food is, in my opinion, one of the
principal causes Of the hostility of the
Bannocks. But / believe they have
long wished to 60 on the war path, and
that their hostility began sooner than
was expected. Buffalo Horn especially
has long been wishing to start out on q
scalping tour, and for some time had
not been acting in good faith. 1t is my
opinion, also, that the shooting Of the
two freighters, and the murder of Ro-
den, and the arrest, conviction, and
the punishment Of the criminals had
something to do with precipitating the
hostility.
From the above it is evident that the
Bannocks were not well disposed from
the beginning, and while the treat
ment they received was doubtless Of a
very bad character, it was no excuse
for going upon the war path and muir
dering peaceable settlers. Thereshould,
however, be no excuse given them.
The agents Of the Government should
act ! good faith with the Indians, who
should then be made to understand
that nc efforts would be spared to crush
them II they start out Tor purposes
Of murder and the devastation Of prop
erty. We are ''in for itn now and
there is no other alternative left butt to
make the bloody Bannocks feel the
power Of the Government.

"You see," remarked Sambo, sit was
