An Honest Indian.

The following letter has been re-
ceived at the Indian Office in
Washington from Agent j. Hert.
ford, dated Sac and Fox agency,
Indian Territory, July 18th:
"Henry Jones, ouragency black.
smith has called this day to make
the following statement: He said
that some years ago he was poor
and that his present prosperous
condition is mainly due to his per-
severing habits of industry, aided
by the Indian Department in Civ
ing him a salary of 500 year for
his services. Nine years ago he
was q blanket Indian, aud spent
most of his time In the rural sports
of his people, without care for
the morrow. Being naturally
gifted with Intelligence, he reason
ed with himself, uuaided by advice
from others, that he had at least
the intellectual advantages that
would enable him to emulate the
white mans ways in good habits,
and he accordingly pushed foT-
ward to reach that goal which
would render himself and family
comfortable and happy. He has
now one hundred head Of cattle,
besides mules and horses, forty
acres of good land adjoining the
agency, twenty of which are in
corn; good house, barn and a
we'll. In consequence of these
agreeable surroundings he feels
that he can live with less salary
than he has been receiving, and
that the remuneration for his SER
vices as blacksmith for this fiscal
year may be $500 instead of 500, as
heretofore. He desires at the same
time to return thanks for the en-.
couragement he has hitherto re-
ceived at the hands of the Honora-
BILE Secretary of the Interior, and
the Honorable Commissioner of
Indian Affairs"

Joaquin Miller, speaking of Sit
ting Bull, thus explains how his
Sioux Highness came by his name,
the key to the conundrum having
been impaired to him by the In-
dians themselves: IAN Indian is
never honored with n distinctive
name," said Mr.. Miller, "until he
has done something noteworthy,
and which reveals a marked trait
of character. When Sitting Bull
was a young man he was shot in
the legs and disabled, but he sat
bolt upright on the ground and
continued to fight with the fierce
ness of wounded buffalo bull, and
it was thus incident which drew
from the tribe the appellation of
Sitting Bull.n

The Arguments for and against Making
the City Pay Over Six Thousand Dollars.
A new phase was developed in the suit
brought by Patrick Nash against the city
yesterday forenoon, when the case came be-
fore Judge Simons on demurrer on the part
of the city on the ground that the complaint
did not allege sufficient grounds for action.
1t will be remembered that the action was
originally brought on claim for $685.
arising from extra work done on the con-
tracts for grading Hoffman avenue, and that
on the case going to the supreme court
verdict was rendered in favor of the city.
The present suit is based on the grounds
that the extra work was implied or provided
for under the contract, to which the city de-
INJURED for the reasons above stated. The
case was conducted by Mr.. w. p. Clouph for
the plaintiff, and City Attorney Murray on
the part of the city. In arguing the demur-
rer to the complaint, MIR. Murray relied upon
the decision of the supreme court, calling
attention to the absurdity of the cunningly
framed technically, and concluding with the
remark that there we're no grounds for action,
as the case had been gone over and settled
before.
Mr.. Clough, for the plaintiff, commenced
his remarks by saying that the contractor
had been induced to enter into an agreement
with the city on false representations, on the
strength of which the plaintiff had suffered
great pecuniary loss, for which he should be
compensated. Counsel adverted to!the plans
and specifications of the improvement, lay
ing particular stress on that part of the
agreement which provides estimates for the
several descriptions of work, and quantities
thereof. Counsel said it was principal SO
elementary that no authority could contra
dict, that where legislative enactment au-
thorized a municipal body to enter into a
contract they incurred the same liability as
an individual.
In reply Mr.. Murray stated that the au-
thorities authorizing the Improvement we're
acting az agents of the public, and as such
their liability was necessarily restricted and
defined. The city could not be compared
to an individual, and because thing was
customary, it could not be construed as
legal. The case was submitted and taken
under advisement.

quarter of a mile distant, and this work was
probably done during the interval mentioned.
John McDermott's saloon and residence
was robbed of two or three dollars. MIR.
Lohman's store and residence was entered,
and a watch, quantity of cigars. and $3.50 III
money taken. The house of John Dersch.
blacksmith, was also entered and four or
five dollars in money secured.
Judging from their tracks the thieves had
apparently left their shoes in the vicinity of
the residences above noted, and when they
were driven from the hotel they retraced
their steps and securing their shoes took to
the woods.
1t is evident that this bold robbers raid
was made by experts and desperate charac-
tiers. 1t is thought that the parties who
were engaged in it were at the hotel as Wis.,
itors Wednesday aud Wednesday
night, and they doubtless re-
connoitered at that or some other
time, preparatory to their raid. It is quite
probable that one of the party has spent
some time at the lake, and with the casual
visit of his confederates they were. we'll
posted relative to the premises. 1t was
doubtless the intention to go through the
rooms in detail, and from the ease with
which they worked as far as they went, they
only needed half an hour more of uninter-
rupted work to have entered nearly every
room in the house. The precautions taken
by the proprietors of the hotel, after the first
alarm, effectually prevented any serious re-
suits, and the only regret is that none of the
gang were killed.
At a very early hour Gen. Flower had
notified Saltwater, Hudson and st. Paul of
the robbery, and the officers of all those
cities are on the alert for the scoundrels.
The chief of police of Saltwater visited
Elmo yesterday to endeavor to secure a clue
to the robbers. It is to be hoped that they
will meet with success.
1t must be admitted that neither Flower
& Guthurz or the guests were very we'll
equipped yesterday morning to handle gang
of five or six desperate and we'll armed men,
but if the crowd would only be kind enough
to call again, they can be sure of abundant
amusement. A visit to Elmo last evening by
q GLOBE representative developed regular
arsenal. In fact, the armament is SO gener-
al that there is good deal more likelihood
of some Of the employees or guests capturing
a few stray bullets than there is of another
raid of robbers.

Trout Brook was crimsoned with gore last
night. It all came about from the council
edict banishing all squatters from that long
set led locality-as far away as father Henne-

order John Nogle was removing his

The work began yesterday. afternoon, but
owing to the dimensions of the house and
accumulation of household plumber, the re-
moval extended far into last night. Several
friends, all Polanders, as is Nogle, came to
his assistance after night-fall. From, sorrow
at the removal, the goodly company of
friends with the help of several
buckets of beer made the affair
a kind of bee, SO to speak. The iolly
hilarity of the Polanders attracted crowd
of young roughs-as they turned out to be,
headed by one Neill eastman. They came
up to the Pole party, and were admitted in
full fellowship to the fun, on promising to
help move the house and goods. Copious
beers were handed around and sucked in, and
everything seemed serene for pleasant night
OF it. Somehow, but just how nobody knows,
Eastman became violent and abusive. He
wanted to fight, but everybody else wanted
to move only, and couldn't accommodate
him. At this he became more exasperating,
and finally pitched into Nogle. Nogle resisted
him, and then eastman and hist crowd
took hold of the Pole and handled him as
if he were no more than a stick after ali
Out of this confusion Nogle extricated him

The roughs, seeing the extent of their
handiwork, scampered off. Nogle was found
to be badly cut about the face and head. A

across the forehead, and another across the
