Remarkable Frontier Tragedy.

The particulars of an unfortunate af-
fair caused by love, jealousy and re-
venge, which occurred at Pine Ridge
Agency day before yesterday, have just
reached this place. 1t appears that two
brothers named Billy and Johnny Pro-
vost, employed ut the agency, the former
as stock superintendent, became enam-
ored of beautiful Indian girl named
Soettewa little Bird, daughter of
Eagle Wing, sub-chief in Red Clouds
band of Sioux. Before giving his con-
sent, as is the custom among Indians,
Eagle Wing demanded a horse as the
price of his daughters hand in mar
riage.
Billy Provost, not having horse to
give, consulted an Indian, who gave
him horse as his own, which in reality
belonged to man named Clement Ber-
pard, who, unknown to him, was also
suing for the affections of the dusky
maiden. Following the Indians advice,
he took the animal and delivered it to
Eagle Wing, and was about to take his
prize when Bernard appeared on the
scene, claiming his property and put
ting a stop to further ceremonies. Pro-
vost, after finding out that he had been
deceived, and being elected from the
lodge by the chief, seized with grief
and remorse, placed pistol to his head
and blew his brains out.
John Provost, the interpreter, on
learning of his brothers suicide, sought
out the Indian who betrayed him and
Bernard, his rival, intending to kill
them. Finding both IN the Agents
Office, he deliberately and without warn
ing opened fire on them, killing Ber-
nard. Several Mexicans, countrymen
of the murdered man, surrounded the
murderer and would have lynched him
had it not been for the prompt action
of DR.. McGillicuddy, the Indian Agent,
who sent him under guard of Indian
soldiers to the military guard-house at
Camp Sheridan, where he now awaits

Orlena's Trip to the Country,

Orleua Tip 10 the country,
The country never looked 80 beautiful to me
as it does this summer. hardly think the diff
ference lies in the country, for nature is the
same from year TO year; grand, glorious, mag
nifcent ever. 1t may be that this new guise of
beauty was the offspring of too much brick
and mortar. and gray pavements, for never was
kept within doors for so long season as
when wrestling with disease during the buoy
ant, jovial spring.
But somehow the broad prairies seem to have
gained deeper charm, and the shadowy aisles
of the groves a more regal beauty since my
last visit to their kingly haunts AT any rate, as
steamed away from the smoky walls and
dusty streets of the city, l seemed to gain
fresh strength in the fragrant breeze
that came dancing across the meadows, toying
with the nodding grass and lodging in and out
amid the dark green foliage Of the luxtriant
corn, that one could almost see grow and thrive

And the flowers seemed to throw kisses at us
as we rushed past them or drew slowly up at
the quiet stations along the route. Close
crested naples iirted their thick foliage almost
in our faces, and feathery elms tossed us their
genial welcomes, swayiDg and nodding in the
fresh, spicy breeze, inviting the admiration that
was not slow in its advance
Ny three weeks stay in the country has been
fraught with memories that will never fade.
Flowers, birds and vegetation accorded me the
choicest welcome, for the first lifted their
shining petals TO meet my caresses, the second
caroed their songs from the shadowy foliage
above me, and the last hung out its abundance
of fruit for my acceptance And l may as well
cay here that partook bountifully Of the gift

A sad accident happened to an ex-
cursion party on the St Lawrence river, at
Clayton, N. Y, one day last week The party,
numbering about $50 persons, boarded the
steam yachts Harrington and Josephine, with
view to visiting Kingston, Ont, and other
points AS the Josephine was a slower boat
than the Harrington, it was proposed to lash
the two boats, and thus keep the party
together. AS soon as this was done, they
proceeded on their journey, but had not gone
forty rods when it was found the stays were
not properly adjusted, and the Josephine
commenced taking water. Without lessening
the speed, an effort was made to loosen the
stays. The bow line was let out till the Jose
phine had swung around sideways, when it
caught in knot and she capsized and sunk in
eighty feet Of water in half minute. AS the
boat tipped over every one on board fell into
the water, and many were drawn down as the
boat sunk. Five ladies were drowned. Great
blame is attached to the Captains of both boats
for their mismanagement and lack of Judgment.
