retaining the section.
A motion to strike out was lost,
Section 8, relating to the organ
ization of new counties and pre.
soribing the manner of dividing
organized counties, was taken under
consideration.
DIR. Caples offered an amendment
and. in Its support, said the Com.
mittee had evidently intended to
put on the brakes against politi-
clans who were anxious to make
places for themselves by county
division, hut the brakes hnd been
put on lightly. Caples's amend
ment requires the concurrence of
three-lifths of the voters 60 divide
county The original section
simply requires majority vote.
Caples's amendment was lost.
Section 8 was debated at length,
changed in phraseology aud
amended
Shafter then moved to strike out
the entire section. AS it had been
changed he held that a town or
city in one county could annex it,
self to another county and thus es-
cape obligations of debt incurred
in the county to which it original
ly belonged. The Convention got
into muddle over the trausposi-
ti0n OF u sentence and was not able
to agree as to what the section did
say. A motion to strike out the
section was lost.

YANKToN, Dakota, Jan. 10.-A
Cheyenne agency special says that
last night the runners from the
hostile camp held u council with
the agent, at which they talked
very independently. They say it
makes their hearts bad to see their
friends here deprived of guns and
horses. Saturday they held a
council with the com I'M ander of the
post, Col. Wood, at which council
they were very meek; said all they
wanted WAS to come back and they
would give up their guns and
ponies; they must do something as
soon as the buffalo are moving and
they have to follow them Ere
this the entire hostile camp of not
less than 25 600 people are on Amer
lean soil and are working south
The runners will wait here at Red
Shirts camp twelve days to hear
from Washington.
