IT HAS long been believed that the
Indians at the Red Cloud and Spotted
Tail agencies have been concerned in
the depredations in Nebraska. In an
article published elsewhere this belief
is substantiated by the strongest evil
dence. 1t all proves that the present
management of the Inditns is not only
weak but criminal. More rigorous
treatment is necessary before the muir
dering red devils can be be brought to
realize that there is a white mans pow
er oyer them.

Remarkable Adventures Of an Iowa
Woman and her Son-Made n
Slave to q Yanktons
. Chief

From the New YORK Herald.
Omaha, Dec. 14.-Deep interest is
taken here in the narrative of Mrs.
Charles Jones, of Washington county,
Iowa, who arrived with her son last
night, and whose story of suffering on
the plains, with the astonishing revela-
lions regarding certain Indians of the
Yankton agency, has few parallels in
frontier history. Mrs. Jones and her
son, it is believed, are the sole surviv-
ers of a party of twelve emigrants who
left Washington county last February
for the Yellowstone Valley. They
reached Fort Kearney about March 1,
1873, and when a few days out from
there, in the river bottom, they were
surrounded by a party of seventy In
dians. William Brown, Joshua Brown
and Joseph Hyatt, a brother of Mrs.
Jones, constituting the men of the
party were instantly shot dead. All
the others were taken into captivity.
All but Mrs. Jones and her son disap-
peared, and as she believes, were mas
sacred.
She was made a slave to the chief
named Yankton, cooking, picking
berries, and performing other mental
Offices. She was never allowed to meet
or talk with her son. Her clothes were
taken from her, and she was allowed
only blanket and moccasins. The
camp was moved often, always north
ward. The warriors several times left
the party and returned with clothing
and plumber, evidently taken from
murdered whites. The Interpreter who
was with the party, named Chimes,
stated that he was captured from a par
ty of emigrants when he was only II
years old, and he is now forty. He
adopted their life, became a Catholic,
and was educated at a Jesuit college.
He told Mrs. Jones that the party were
chiefly Yanktons, from the Yankton
agency, but a few were from Red Cloud
and Spotted Tail agencies. They were
out always during the summer and re-
turned to the agencies in the winter
time.
Their slaves are kept outside the
agencies i'm concealment. Other fe-
male white slaves in the party told her
through the interpreter, that their
friends had been murdered, and, as
they had no friends, they did not desire
to escape. Young Jones, who is aged
Is, became a favorite and was kindly
treated. At the expiration Of two
months they reached the neighborhood
Of a small village in northern Nebraska
where the Indians procured liquor, and
they all became drunk. That night
Mrs. Jones escaped, having on only a
ragged blanket and one moccasin. She
Travelled south, being guided in her
course by the stars, and subsisting for
many days on raw artichokes. After
five or six days she met occasional emf
grant wagons moving northward, and
Mrs. Jones was given a dress. She
begged her way through the state,
reaching her old home in Iowa the last
dav of .June.
Here she procured n small sum Of
money. She became alarmed Mt the
uncertainty of her sons fate. and re.

THERE is a singular unanimity
among the Indians against the proposed
transfer Of their feeding bureau to the
war department. They would rather
run the risk of being starved than exist
in the certainty Of being thrashed if
they misbehave themselves.

AN INITIATED TRAMP.

We have before maintained that the
tramps securing about the country are reg
ularly organized fraternity, having gen.
eral understanding with one another, and
having ritual Of questions and answers.
Their uniform appearance, their periodical
visits to the same localities, their regular
calls at the same houses, where they have
before secured food, all point to this. A
sheriff of Western county has found Gu
rlous cmblems about them, has studied their
character and listened to their conversation,
until he can tell regularly initiated tramp
from an impostor. The following amusing
and instructive dialogue took place between
the sheriff and one of squad of tramps
recently committed to jail:
"From whence came YOU 2"
"From town in New York, called Jeru-
salem"
"What's your business here ?"
',To learn to subdue my appetite and to
sponge my living from an indulgent pub

'By the largeness of my feet and general
carniverous appearance"
GLOW do you know yourself to be a
tramp?"
"In seeking food, by being g.often denied,
but ready to try again"
"IIow gained you admittence to this
town z"
"By good many long tramps."
GLOW were you received ?'
"On the end of night policeman's billy,
presented to my head"
GLOW did The policeman dispose of you?"
"Hc took me several times around the
town, to the south, cast and west, where he
found the city marshall police judge and
the Jlilor, where great many questions
were asked"
"What advice did the judge give you ?"
"Hc advised inc to walk in upright, re-
gular stops, and to renouncc tramping"
"Nill YOU be off or from ?"
with your permission, I'll be off very
quickly"
(Which way arc you travelling ?"
"East."
"Of what arc you in pursuit 2"
"Work which, by my own cndeavors
and the assistance of others, 1 hope shall

"My friend, you are now at an institution
where the wicked arc always troublesome
