A veritable Old Settler Departs.

Mr. Hypolite Dupuis died few days ago at
Mendoza. He was native of La Prairie, Cana
da, and came to what is now Minnesota when
it was the home of the red man.
In 1888 he was married to Miss Angelic Rem
vile, by Rev. Thomas Williamson, missionary
ut Lac qui Parle, and was afterwards married
by Rev. Father Ravoux, now of the cathedral
in this city. After his marriage he remained
for some time clerk with his father-in-law,
and was afterwards employed by Gen. Sibley
for several years. In his business relations he
always gave proof of the strictest integrity.
His remains were consigned to their last rest
ing place in the Catholic cemetery, of the old
historic town of Mendoza, which he inhabited
for more than thirty-fve years, where he was
held in high esteem for his social qualities and
good natured disposition. He was "a years Of
age, and leaves six children and thirty grand
children to deplore his loss.

His Report to Gen. Terry-He Cuts the In
dams Off From Their Supplies.
Department headquarters, yesterday, was
not in receipt of anything new from General
Miles expedition. As men toned in yester-
days GLOBE the latest dispatch from the
troops in the field is under date of the Goth
inst, and was received by Gen. Terry. Sun
day morning. Gen. Miles reports he ia in
camp on Frenchman's creek, near the scene
of the fight of the 18th inst. Gen. Miles
states that he has located his ca MP between
the village of the hostile Indians and their
food-Bufalo herds. He believes that this
movement will compel the Indians either to
attack him or retire across the line From
the report and from what Gen. Miles has
learned from captured Indian family.
buck, squaw and children, and from
several families of half-breeds who have
come into his (Mileso camp, there seems to
be considerable dissatisfaction in the hostile
Indian camp. Several bands are reported
to have abandoned Sitting Bull and are sup
posed to be making for the Missouri river
with the intention Of going south or hiding
themselves among the semi.friendly Indians
OF the agencies. Gen. Miles suggests that
troops be put in the field to intercept these
bands.
In conversation with the officers at de.
partment headquarters, no little anxiety is
evinctd to correct an erroneous impression
which has gone forth, to the effect that Gen.
Miles is acting on his own authority in this
expedition, about which so much talk is
hazarded. Gen. Miles is in the
field by order of his department command
or, Gen. Terry. He, Miles, has
at his command all the troops which were
available for such service in this department.
The command took the field as thoroughly
equipped as the means at the disposal of the
military authorities permitted, and the ut
most confidence is expressed in Gen. Miles
being able to perform all required of him.
Gen. Miles had special orders in regard to
conducting his command, and Gen. Terry il
free to declare that he is obeying his instruc-
lions to degree highly satisfactory to him.
The command was put in the field at the
request OF the secretary of the department Of
the interior, at the solicitation Of the agent
at Poplar creek (old Fort Peck). The pur-
pose was to protect friendly and reservation
Indians in their right to hunt against hostile
bands from across the British line, and clear
any British Indians out of the country. Gen.
Miles command, under these instructions,
will not force fight unless in the full letter
Of the order it is found necessary to do 80.
Then something other than disaster will be
wired through for Gen. Nelson A, Miles
command.

Elk River.
How 4 Rceeiyea Its Name.

aud one IF the fayoiiic modes
with the Indians Of annoying
the settlers was TO steal and ear
ny off their horses, and this prac-
iice Of theirs had been SO yigo-
rously and consistently pursued
that by the beginning Of lie
year 1871 the whites had lost a-
bout all Of their horses. Not
withsianding these depredalions
were of so frequent occurrence
the whites were in ignorance as
to where the dcprcdators lived.
Early In 1871 three men, one
named Ellis, one Mulherrin and
the others name is unknown,
were sent out to ascertain where
the depre lators lived. On lcay-
ing French Lick now Nashville)
they went nearly southeast and
crossed Cumberland mountains.
One Gay they heard the voices
Of children at play; they then
stopped and concealed them
selves until night and from their
place OF concealment saw sever
al Indians pass.
At night they found a drove
OF horses belonging to The IN
dians. They secured ten or
twelve of them, but were forced
to leave some Of them behind.
u. their way back when they
came 10 li,I river we Eow call
Elk river they saw ri Ike edge
OF an island in the river III
ELK and fred at Inn. 1t was
from this incident that Elk river
received It's name, which il has
ever since borne.
These facts, says Haywood In
his wtrk called "Chiistian Adj
vocotc," have been proycdin Che
courts Of Tennessee in suits Of
cjcctncnt. and they were par
ticularly proved in the case of
Talbot VS.. S. Il. Edmondson in
the Federal Court.
Ellis and his companions must
have gone into the Sequatchic
valley and there loagd the IN
dians. 1t seems that they did
lot cross the Tennessee river
but did cross Cumberland noun
aims, so they could have reach
cd only the Sequatchie valley or
some OF tle creeks that empty
into the Soquatchic river.
These men were doubtless the
first white men who had crossed
The waters Of the noble Elk. In
1874 a company of locaters, a
bout 80 in number, left Nash
vile and came through the un-
settled wilderness and crossed
the Elk 10 or Il miles above
where Fayetteville now stands,
and came down on the south side
Of the river, TO about opposite
the present site of Fayetteville.
1t was OH this expedition that
the land on which Fayetteville
now stands was located by -
Norris, and Norris Creek took
| its name from the TACT that he
had made 4 location al the mouth
Of the Creek. These locations
were entered in the land office
Of John Armstrong, and grants
were procured, but the whites
were prohibited from making
any settlement OH Elk River,
the land belonging to the Cher
okee Indians until 1905, when
the Indians ceded it to the
whites by treaty. Soon after
this twenty settlers fiocked to
the rich valley of the Elk, and
in the year 1909 the Legislature
of the State authorized the or
ganizalion Of Lincoln county.
