LONDON, July Is "A special dispatch
is published from the headquarters of

report of the sending of cattle and an

Cetywayo promised that the rest of the

gers were sent back en- the 2Sth with a
message to King Cetywayo, that the cattle
would be detained a few days pending

A freighter named G.. Gram, who. has
been transporting Government stores
from Fort Boise to Camp Harvey, in
forms the Idaho Statesman that there
are no Indians at the Malheur Reser-
walton, at Camp Harvey or anywhere
in that vicinity, though it was rumored
that a few bucks and squaws had been
seen on Castle Mountain, some miles
northwest of the agency. The Indian
agent and three other white men are
haying, but there are no. Indians at the
place.
This report confirms what has here
tofore been published in these columns
about the Malheur Agency. There are
no Indians there or anywhere in the
vicinity, and the settlers, who were
driven from their homes and had their
cattle butchered and their horses stolen
during the Indian outbreak last sum-
mer, have sworn vengeance against the
red devils, and threaten to. shoot at
sight any and all Indians they find
prowling through the country. Not
withstanding these facts, the Indian
Bureau have apportioned supplies, to
the Malheur Agency, upon what basis
is not known, and pay an Indian agent
and several assistants for keeping up
appearances, A prominent Indian
chief like Naches or old Winnemucea
would now command high, premium
at Malheur. Such person is needed
to affix his mark, like Spotted. Tail, to
letters to the Interior Department at
Washington, protesting against the
transfer of the indians to the War De-
partment. As neither Naches nor Win
nemucca can be hired or bribed to go
to Malheur, it is probable that the In
dian Bureau will have to succumb to
the inevitable and abolish the Malheur
Agency. which, according to reports,
would furnish pasturage to thousands
of cattle, which are now short of feed
in Southern Oregon.

ON the part of the Mormon priests since
Che incarceration of their apostles for

News. The articles are supposed to be
written by John Taylor, who is trying

condemn the incendiary course of the

however, that the governm emit should
put it's foot down and fore yer stop this
open defiance of its laws in Utah.

Enjoy Life.

What a truly beautiful world we live
in! Nature gives up grandeur OF
mountains, glens and oceans. and thous-
ands of means for enjoyment We can
desire no better when in perfect health;
but how often do the majority of people
feel like giving it up disheartened, dis
couraged aud worried out with disease,
when there is no occasion for this feel
ing, as every sufferer can easily obtain
satisfactory proof. that Green's August
Flower will make them as free from
disease as when born. Dyspepsia and
liver complaint is the direct cause of
seventy-five per cent of such maladies
as biliousness, indigestion, sick head
ache, costiveness, nervous prostratlon,
dizziness of the head, palpitation of the
heart, and other distressing symptoms.
Three doses of August Flower will
prove its wonderful effect. Sample
bottles, 10 cents. Try it.

THE Man WHO BEAT SHARON. 1.-THE writer
has never seen this story in print, but 1t ID SO
good that it ought TO have been, and may have
been. years ago, for all he knows. Bill Sharon
once built saw mill on some government
land and ran it three years on government
timber. This was in early times and wood
sawvers were not always particular to secure
proper title. After saving up all the wood
in sight Sharon abandoned the mill and i'm
medately OLD Farmer Treadway, who had
AL eye on the property, entered the land In
the regular way and came down on 1t like
thousand of brick with United States patent.
Presently Sharon began to move the machin
cry of the mill, when Tread served him with
a notice to keep his hands off Sharon paid
no attention to the old farmer, and the next
thing he knew he was sued for $8, 900. Tread
way showed his documents all correct and the
Jury awarded damages in full. After the suit
Tread walked up to Sharon and remarked,
- Bill you may be pretty good at mlnln',
but you re d shlftless land sharp | ain't

A CARSON INNOCENT ABROAD Among tn.
MendocRo stage robbers recently captured il
California appears the name of George
Gauntz. Gauntz was at one time employed
as q breakman on the V. h T. r. R., and
was pretty well known in Carson. He was a
small man and very loud in talk and always
wanted to fight. After leaving here he took
to the road in Nevada County, California i'm
proving the opportunities which that section
Of country affords to robbers and foot pads.
Indeed, nature seems to have made the spot
expressly as habitable locality for those who
thrive off the stage robbing industry. There
are dozen horse shoe bends in every mile of
road, the big boulders strewed along Just in
the right places and the thick brush render it
a most promising and inviting field for the
cowardly knights of the highway Gauntz is
charged with being implicated in about four
murders since his disappearance from this city,
and the death of a Moor's Flat banker named
Cummins, who was killed on the road near
Nevada City few months ago, is credit
ed to his score. 1t seems a pity that SO will
ing and persevering man should have been
taken in at last by the prosaic officers of the
law. Just as the young man was establishing
4 reputation and had located several good
paying routes in three different counties
along came Sheriff. posse and broke him up
in business One by one the avenues for en-
terprise and talent are closed up, and man
to make living in this country will either
be necessitated to learn some regular trade or
become mining expert.
