Cheyenne transporter. [volume] (Darlington, Indian Terr.) 1879-1886, 1880-11-26

A hotel was started short time
ago near the Agency the proprietor
was veay obliging, doing everything
in his power to accommodate his
guests and things went lovely until
one evening the proprietor went out
to win a fortune at cards. When he
returned his wife was gone. He
found her next morning at a COW
camp near by, where, she claims,
she had gone because she was
afraid to stay alone. But this expla-
nation was not satisfactory, the of
Tended husband accused her of inf
deity and would believe no other
story. The hotel business has been
voted a fraud, the building torn
down and nothing now remains of a
once prosperous business.
Fonr Sergcants and four Corpo-
rails have been promoted from the
ranks of the Arapahoe school boys,
namely; 1st Sergt Kiser, 2nd Sergt
Debet, Sd Sergt Lee, 4th Sergt Bur-
chard 1st Corporal Clarence, 2nd
Corporal Paul, Sd Corporal Will
Jams, 4th Corporal Whit. These
officers take charge of the sleeping
rooms, see to lighting the boys to
bed and keep order. Thus far they
have attended strictly to business,
and we have reason to believe that
a great part of the government of the
school may be done in this way.
The superintendent wishes to turn
the Indians natural desire to be q
chief to the best purpose, and, if we
mistake not, is making a decided
success of it.

Frank Ridenbaugh, of Batesville,
Ohio, went home drunk about mid
night, recently. He was in an ugly
frame of mind and without q word
of warning seized an AK and COM
menced an indiscriminate slaughter
ef all the occupants of the house.
His wife was the first victim, one
blow of the AK crushed her skull. He
then cut the throat of his infant son
with the same weapon. Passing to
another room, he killed Mrs. Ste
phens, a visitor, and her child, and
then knocked the servant girl on
the head, leaving her for dead. His
next act was to cut his throat .-EX

VIII Doty says tile postage stamp
business is improving, which fact
he attributes to the superior letter
writing capacity Of the now reigning
school teachers
"The tongue is mightier than the
sword" and Seger thinks this is the
reason why the Reno officials give
the Arapahoe Mission ladies such Il
severe letting alone.
For week after the late storm
the mails were from one to eight
hours late. The carriers reported
the snow badly drifted in many pla,
ces compelling them to leave the

the management Of Supt. Seger,
who proposes to bring the school up
to the proper grade if hard work and
strict attention TO business will ac-
complish that result.
A party of cattle men who were
returning from Kansas to Texas,
were caught here by the storm of the
18th and had to lay over two or
three days. Their ponies were very
poor, after hard seasons work and
five of them died from the effect of
the storm.
A violent snow storm set in Tues
day the 10Th and continued for thir-
ty-six hours without abating in the
least. This was perhaps the sever
est snow storm that has visited this
section for several years. We have
heard of several ponies, which were
turned out to rough it through the
winter, having been chilled to death.
Five Sunday School classes are
sent to the residences of Agency peo-
pie for instruction This is done
partly because the room at the Mis-
sion is insufficient and partly be-
cause the ladies who teach prefer
that the classes should come to
them for instruction. This method
works well at Carlisle, and we see no
reason why it should not produce
good results here.
We print on first page part of
the report of the committee on In
dian exhibits at the Cumberland
county, Pa, Agricultural fair, which
tells great deal about what the In
dian children at Carlisle are doing.
The articles exhibited represented
several trades and almost every
branch of horticulture. The exhib-
it showed very creditable progress
in all departments and was entirely
satisfactory.
Some one from this section, prob
ably, ia an interview with the Cald-
well Commercial maM said the sol
diers were more afraid of the Indian
police than of the enraged warriors
at the time of the trouble in August
| (We have not the paper at hand but
give the sense as we remember it. }
The events of that day proved that
such fear was i'll founded for the In.
diam police force did unfinching du-
ty during the whole of that trying
day in manner that would have
done credit to any police force il
our large cities. In this connection
we give the closing remarks Of q
stock man in letter to Agent Miles
The gentleman referred to passed
through this country last winter Ell
route from Texas to Kansas, and af
ter mentioning a number of instan
ces in which the police assisted him
concludes as follows II would rath
er have God and your Indian police
to protect me than to have the pro
lection of the whole United States or

looking birds stood idly in their roomy

sionAl grains Of corn from the floor. None

Pun Particular. OF the Jail Delivery ut
Laredo, Texas.

Pull Particulars OF the Jail Delivery nj
Laredo. Texas.
wAsH1SeroS, September 1.-The State
Department has received from Vice Con,
sui Jenne, at Neuyo Laredo, Mexico, in
detail, the account OF the circumstances
attending the general Jail delivery Of
prisoners at Laredo, Texas, and their at.
tempt to escapeinto Mexico. At noon, on
the Ilth Of August, seventeen convicts
escaped and plunged Into the Rio GrAnde
to swim TO Mexico. The Vice Consul was
crossing the river on q ierryboAt, and says
that in an instant the guards, citizens and
all who happened TO be in the vicinity,
started in pursuit, everybody who could
run seeming already armed with a carbine
or revolver.
At the hank Of the river. the pursuers
halted and fred upon the swimming
fuRitives. Meantime party Of police and
citizens on the Mexican side began firing
at the crowd on-tbe American side, with
evident intention OF aiding. the fugitiyes.
The Texans, however, maintained their
fusilade until all the prisoners had disap-
peared. Twenty or more shots were re-
turned from the Mexican bank. OF the
seventeen prisoners eight were killed or
drowned, six Tecsptured and the re-
mainder missing. The Vice Contul says
he understands that an effert Is being
made to criminally prosecute all the cid
zens who fred at the escaping prisoners.
None OF the latter as far as known were
killed by the officers, but all were yir-
tuAlly murdered by persons who had no
official authority. The statement thsttwo
convicts were rescued by the Mexicans is
denied by them.

CAROLINA.

An Appeal 10 the Democratic Patriots Of
the Palmetto Stale TO Rise Up In Organ
lied Strength as the .Red bhirtsr and
Put Down the Insidious Negro.
WASHINGTON, August Sl.-A Republican
sends the following extract from the Aiken
Is. o. Joun,ql in which the reorganisa-
ton Of the red shirt Is called for, because
the Republicans have presumed to call a
State Convention and organize cam.
paign:
X0rR OF WARNING.
We have Just gone through long and
exhaustive contest to decide who shall be
the Democratic candidates for county OF.
ices at the coming election. The primaries
are at last over, and before our next
issue the successful competitors for the
various positions viii be known all over
the country. IT'S true that every man in
me country is worn out, body and spirit,
and that nobody feels like going into an.
other heated contest, but It Is inevitable.
The Radicals have called for State
Convention TO meeet at Columbus on the
ID OF September. The convention viii put
ont State and Congressional ticket. I'm.
mediately thereafter every county in the
State yili place full county ticket in the
field, Aiken county, in point OF white and
black population, being one Of the closest
in the State, will come In Tor large share
Of attention. When he desires 70 be 50
the negro Is VIGOROUSLY secret. He does
everything at night, when the whites are
asleep. His leaders are still hunters. The
Garfield and Arthur club in Aiken makes
considerable hustle, but it strikes US that
ali this is bat part Of well laid scheme
n attract our attention TO them, and keep
ns deceived as TO the real Organizations.
fhe negrees are forming all over the coun.
h. Itthen hehooves the Democrats TO 20 10
YORK at once and iorestall the plans OF the
Radicals. The first thing to he done Is to
reorsanizs the red shirt mounted clubs.
Iet every meeting, Democratic or Radical,
be iully attended by them.
The gentleman who sends the above,
adds; IT don't think need comment
npon this. Thare is no radical organiEa
tion in Aiken county beyond the Garfieid
and Arthur Club, composed thus far en-.
tiIely Of n orthern white men.
