The New York Financial Chronicle has this
to say about the debt Of the Southern States:

We have already noticed the report that the
London and Westminster bank had taken ss5.
1000 OF the per cent United States bonds.
The present condition Of the English money
market makes such an investment an extreme
" likely one Whether made as permanent

sales the purchase Is favorable one. An ex-
change says: The amount Of money seeking

Troops Against Trespassers.

Dakota Republican,
Gen. Sheridan has been made acquainted
with the decision of the cabinte relative to
the occupation of Indian Territory by emf
grants from Kansas and elsewhere. In
structions were given him by the secretary
of war recently. These instructions
amounted to simply this: That persons
found occupying the country as settlers:
contrary to law, must be regarded as tres
passers and elected by force. Gen. Sher-
idan at once gave orders by telegraph for
the detail of a certain number of troops
for field duty on the border Of the Indian
Territory. The details of troops is as fol-
lows: Two companies of the Fourth cal
vary to go to Vinata, Indian Territory, one
company to 60 to Cofeyville, one to Ar
kansas City, and one 10 Baxter Springs,
Kansas. These companies are drawn from
the posts in the interior of the Indian
Territory. Reports reached Gen. Sheri-
dan that trespassers from Montana, Da-
kota, and Wyoming are settling upon the
more valuable grazing lands upon Grow
reservation in the Yellowstone valley.
The Crows complain of this encroachment
and Gen. Sheridan has ordered the; post
commanders in that region to expel all
tresprssers from the reservation,

"A JUMP TO ETERNITY.
The Lynching Of Charles Reed, the
.rt Outlaw. at Sidney,

b. .
The following is extracted from the
Sidney I'elegraph's account of the recent
hanging of desperate named Reed who
shot and killed one Loomis, prominent
citizen, whom Reed claimed had insulted
his woman"
"A rope was procured and just before
midnight body of at least five hundred
persons marched to the Jail and told the
guards that they would not be harmed, but
the prisoner must be surrendered for ex-
ecution. At least fifty aamed men then
surrounded and disarmed each guard took
the keys from the jailer and delegated five
of the number to enter and bring out the
murderer. The special committee of five
proceeded to preform their mission. Reed
was soon found and the rope was placed
about his neck, He weakened" consld-
erably when his neck came in contact
with the instrument of death, and begged
piteously to be shot instead of hanged.
The dense mass of citizens, though intense
" excited was orderly.
The response to Reeds request to be
shot, was tout west they didn't confer so
great an honor upon men of his kind; and
who were guilty of committing such cold
blooded murders, as he had been in thus
shooting down like dog one of the
best citizens of town."
Reed was taken to a Western Union tel
egraph pole on Front street, the principal
thoroughfare of the town, a ladder was
placed against the pole, and motion
made that the murderer be hanged al once
the ayes and noes were put in tirst.class
congressional style, resulting in about
five hundred ayes and not single "no'
sung out on the midnight air. 1t was so
unanimous that the murderer saw moth
ing to be gained by taking part in the con-
ventien and calling fol- a division in the
motion. His doom was sealed. He was
then asked if he had anything to say.
In response, he said:
.Gentlemen, admit I killed the man ::
I intended to kill him for insulting my
woman; but didn't know 1t was Loomis
who had insulted her killed five men in
Texas before coming here, but three Of
them were killed in self defense. I sup
pose its my turn to quit now He was
then made to climb the ladder, and was
aked which he preferred, to jump off or
have the ladder pulled from under him.
The murderer, who had by this time nerA-
ed himself to meet his fate bravely, said:
I'll jump off myself. Gentlemen, I'll
show you how brave man can leave this
world" and then with the demeanor Of q
Chesterfield, he added: Good bye, gen
tlemen, enc aud ALL !.
The fatel leap was taken, and Reed. the
murderer, thus ushorered his soul into
eternity. The BODY hung until O'Clock
Sunday morning, ct which time it VA
cut down BY the csroner." a!44 s5|t

FORT BUFORD.
Absence Of Omcers and Desertion Of
PriVatCs.

l[Special Correspondence Of The Tri6une.]
FORT BUFoRD, D. T., May 17th. There
is not much to relate this week as it has
been rather dull. The hardy Sixth have
for time exchanged their picks and
shovels for rifles and may be seen every
day on the west parade drilling from 80
to 3p. m. They will be made artists soon
and learn to handle the whitewash brush
The post is going to undergo thorough
cleaning.
Buford is very short of officers just now,
there being only five left. The various
court martials throughout the country are
receiving the attentions of the absent ones.
Capt. Thomas Button, senior officer and a
gentleman of a very commendable war
record, is in command of the post. He
served in the United States army for over
thirty years.
The Post library is a good one and is
being run first class. It is great boon to
the lonely unfortunates of the wilderness.
There are some 1900 volumes altogether,
-
besides all the leading papers of the day.
None of the latter are more eagerly sought
for and thoroughly read than The TR1-
BUNE. The only trouble IN the manage
ment Of the library is the forgetfulness Of
some of the officers who fail to return
the papers until they are old. Under Gen.
Hazen the custom was to take papers at
tattoo and return them again next morn
ing at guard mount, 9 a. m. -......-
There have been a large number of de-
sertions here during the past few weeks,
at least eighteen having made themselves
seldom. About half Of these are from &c"
company, Sixth. The matter is causing
quite sensation and will likely lead to
an investigation. One reason is that the
men enlisted to soldier, not for continuous
manual labor, and another is the severe
punishment for trivial causes, money stop
pages, etc. .......a
The boys have given up all hopes of a
move this season. This will make the
seventh year for the Sixth in this happy
cline. BUTT-PLATE.

to success. He was favorite; and had q
host OF friends. The only theory that is
plausible, in the face of all facts, is that
he was in the meshes which beauty and
culture had woven, and in its mysterious
constructions he had become SO encom.
passed about that he fingered too long be-
fore the shrine and forgot duty; and in
his alteration there came to him an infat-
uation; that infatuation found itself
CONFRONTED BY A RIVAL
and here there came to him what comes
to every man in tthat predicament- -ieal-
ousy. Soldier that he was, he fell before a
weakness of human nature. This led to
another weakness drink and drink led
to ordinations and recriminations be-
tween the lovers. The lady was the daugh-
ter of Gen. Sturgis. Carrow received Or
ders to report to his regiment, the 7th cav.
airy, and should have left on Saturday.
He kept lingering and drinking, appear
emily unable to tear himself away from the
object of his love here His convival hab-
its stood between him and her, and this
affords the only explanation of the desper-
ate act. 81.
A special from St. Louis says that the
mystery surrounding the affair is cleared
up somewhat by the finding, among his
personal effects, of letter written by
Ella Sturgis, daughter of Gen. Sturgis.
Miss Sturgis had met Carrow at Fort Lin
coin, where she and the young lieutenant
had become very friendly. The General,
thinking his daughter and the young
lieutenant were becoming too devoted to
each other, removed her to St. Louis, hop
ing IN this way to break up a friendship
which they deemed unwise. 5sl
CARROW's PRIDE WAS sTUNG,
and, after nursing his atf1iction for some
time, he resolved to go to St. Louis and
settle the momentous question. Six weeks
ago he arrived, and at once plunged into
all the destinations Of the best society,"
Two weeks ago he attended a German at
the house of wealthy resident He was
to lead in the evening with the young
lady he so passionately loved. He told a
friend Of this before the evening arrived.
and seemed delighted at the thought Of
seeing Miss Sturgis. He further stated
that his prospects were never fairer, and
that he believed he was going to be sue.
cessful. The next day he met the same
friend, and said that he tlattered himself
that the long and anxiously discussed
question had been decided in his favor.
Just week after the event above men
toned Carrow told the same friend that
he was going to make final chare, and
IF am repulsed," said he, .,
"I'LL GIVE UP THE STRUGGLE"
The charge was made 1t was neither a
defeat nor a victory. Ella had answered,
"Wait few days, and I will write you a
letter." It is supposed by those who
knew the young officer intimately that he
received the fatal letter Sunday. It was
the final and unfavorable answer. The
result is we'll known, and the mystery is
lifted. Thursday night the body of the
young man was placed on Vandalia
train and taken to its last resting. place in
Pottsville, Pa.,where his father lives.
