rHE Fr ROBINSON AFFAIR.

The newspapers of The east are just now
engaged in dlshing up the Fort Robinson
affair as one of the unnecessary horrors OF
The day and deprecating the killing OF 9
few treacher0us savages as an act of barbar-
ity which calls for the condemnation ofthe
public. II is probably impossible tor the
people of the east 10 view matters of this
nature in the same light 10 which they are
viewed by those whose homes are along
the frontier. Yet, with the recent acts of
butchery perpetrated BY these same Indians
fresh in the puolic mind. it should not be
difficult to conclude that the red murderers
have received a valuable lesson and one
which will not be lost upon their surviving
friends and relatives. All accounts of the
affair agree that the outbreak of the Chey.
ense prisoners was the contamination of q
deep laid plot and that they contemplated
bloodshed in carrying out their plans. Their
final break for liberty was sudden and un,
expected and the first few white soldiers
who stood in their way were shot down in
their tracks. 1t would, perhaps, have been
in accordance with the eastern idea for the
balance of the soldier guard to have retired
without firing a gun and permitted their
savage prisoners to go forth once more to
murder innocent women and children aud
cover the prairies with the mutilated le-
mains of their masculine protectors. That
they did not take this course, thousands of
settlers along the frontier have cause for
1hankfu.ness. We do not believe that hui
IN .nity will receive any lasting shock when
it learns that these same settlers applaud
the act Of the military police in placing be-
yoad the power TO do harm to q score or
two Of their natural enemies. There is no
sentimentalism in the far ives. upo this
subject. The live Indian un!estrained 10 a

uners. We are told that they were iusufi.
GENTLY clad and that in the ordinary course
OF department red-tapeism their supplies OF
needed clothing would not reach them un-
til spring. With q market where clothing
is sold within three days travel from the
scene of their confinement, it would seem
that at least temporary provision might
have been made for their necessities. But
all this has nothing to do with the acts of
the military. The officer in command has
his orders to hold a band of outlaws and
murderers as prisoners. He is Carrying out
those orders to The letter. Had his prison
ers been white desperadoes and had SINH
lar scenes been enacted in coerclng them
into subsection, there would have arisen no
outcry from among the people Of the east
who call themselves humanilarians.

territory, a train on the Union Pacific road
Much damage was done to property, aad
express on the train were plundered. But
some eight or ten in number-and the
%plunderers finding that they would probably
be captured, led the officers into an ambush
and killed a deputy United States marshal
and a deputy sherif who were in pursuit.
But at last five of the number were cap,ur-
ed and one of the five turned states evil
dsnce, duplicating his associates and inform
ing the authorities where the uncaplured
ones would be found. One of the gang, it
was ascertained had a father living in Dako-
ia, but a short distance from Sioux City and
that he was probably in that section. So a
detective in the employ of the Union Pacific
company, whom we will call Smith, came to
Sioux City, and making himself known to
Sheriff Mcdonald, the two endeavored to
lay plans that would terminate in the
arrest of the robber and murderer.
1t was ascertained that the man,
whose name is John Vassar, had but a short
time previously obtained a letter at the
Sioux City postofice, and through that cir.
cumstance it was deemed he was in this vi.
cinity. So it was arranged that Smith
should go into Dakota in the guire of a
laborer and hunt for the game. while Nc
Donald would watch for him at Sioux City.
TIT hiding place Of the man was at last
found, and just as the arrest was about to be
made, Vassar left the country very sudden
" and leaving no trace behind him. So
Smith returned to Sioux City and upon con-
sultation with Mcdonald it was arranged
that he should return to Dakota in another
guise, and by associating with Vassar's
friends find his whereabouts. This result
was successfully accomplished last week.
1t was found that Vassar was at Maquoketa.
Iowa. Upon Smiths return to this city it
was decided that a postofice order of $50
should be senior rather the advice of the
same should be sent to the postmaster at
that place-and that Vassar be informed by
telegraph, in the name Of a friend, that $50
had been sent to him, and that he could
draw the same by calling at the Maquoketa
