THE SAD STORY OF "ONE OF
PAYNE'S DUPES.' -

One Of the scouts Informs rs chat
all the Struggling parties Of boom
crs in oklahoma have been put out.
One "stalWart' boomer put up pit
iful story that his teams were worn
out, and begged to remain two or
three days to recruit up. THIS plea,
oft repeated became monotonous,
and the hardy pioneer had to vacate.
This man is now stopping this side
Of the promised land, and in n con-
ycrsation with n gentleman OF this
place, said he had a fair prospect
for job with the Quartcrmastcr at
Reno. The Press Reno correspond
cnt, under date Dee. 10, tells the sto-
ry so well that we give it in full:
One Of "Payncs dupcs" was given
as an introduction by a man who
came here two days ago from Okla
honla to see the Post Commander
in regard to bis pititul situation. He
is man of considerable intelligence
and tells his tale as follows: He liz
ed in Arkansas and heard of this re-
pcatcd iair land by the false reports
Of Payne and hi, party, but knew
nothing OF its being watched by sol-
dicrs or that there was any objection
to ii. settlement Ilc loaded up all
his worldly goods bringing with HIM
sixty head of cattle. lie il Wld-
over and has three children, girl
4 fifteen years Of age and two boys OF
age and two boys Younger. They
were caught IN the snow storms of
( last month and were tWcnty-slX
day- without seeing any person but
/ themselves. They arrived at Lieut..
/ Woods omm four days ago, tired,
I .rot-Sofc,.amd without provisions or
money their stock jadcd and al
/mosr starved from the storms and
cold weather, and was told of course
. hc could not stay, and military or
dcrs must be obcycd. He came IN
hcrc to see Major Randall and to try
10 sell his cattle to obtain means to
gct away. The Major no doubt Will
allow him to stay Unit! they recruit
up sous to gyt away dcccnty. He
say ho has lost his savings for years
.by being dupcd by the misrcprcscn-
tatious OF pWuc and party. Such
things are calculated to incense the
people and If Payne was here ne
would NO doubt fare badly unless
protected by the government hr l.
irving to wrong.
Ouc Of PayuGs Colonies said on
tine lS.h, that hc was sorry that a
, .mulo had NOT kichcd Payne, Jack
son and Blos- in the jawbctorc they
got them in hi, 5crapc.

LOCAL NOTES.

MI. CnarlcS CalnpDeIl, Agency
Clerk, is expected home next week.
Two SHOWS in less than a week
with a good prospect for another
one soon.
J. II. Stuart Agency Issue Clerk,
left for a visit to friends in Indiana,
last Monday.
The latest reports are that there
are no boomers in Oklahoma, the
last of them having been removed
by the L. S. troops.
Mrs Hamilton and Miss Jennie
Bennet, formerly matron and assist
ant matron at the Cheyenne school,
left for Indiana on the 18th.
Mr.. J. A. Norman, formerly indus
trial teacher at the Arapahoe school,
left for his home in Sumner county,
on the 18th instant.
Mr.. 4. II. Nichols, foreman on the
brick work Of the commissary, left
on the 18th inst. for Muscotah, Kan
sas, whore he will stay a short time,
and then 90 to his home in Illinois.
Mrs. Thomas McDade died on the
morning of the 10th instant. Her
funeral was preached on the follow
ing day at the Arapahoc Mission.
by Rev E. Beard.
Benajah, an Arapahoe boy, took
his first lesson in the "Art preserva-
tive Of arts" on the l4th inst. He is
a bright boy and srpasses our cx-
poctation in the ease with which he
acquires the trade >..
The building formerly occupied
by the Agency Office is being fixed
up for a dwelling. We presume this
means something in connection with
the future Of one of the bachelors OF
the Agency force.
The boomers along the border say
it's very necessary that congress
should notice them at once; but a
question Of far greater importance
to. the said boomers is, where they
are going to get their next meal.
The boomers have concluded ia
camp for a few years at Caldwell, SC
they say--they are going to stay un-
Ill congress pays some attention &c
them. Congress has hundreds OF
other things TO look after before it
can consider the question Of robbin2
the Indians.

Indian employees, came in from Cald-
well Tuesday with lumber The
round trip was made in eight days.
Considering weight Of loads, we
doubt whether this has ever been
beaten by white frcighters.
The Agents office has been moved
to rooms in the second story OF the
commissary. The new office con
sists of two large rooms and is de-
cided improvement over the small
rooms formerly occupied for that
purpose.
We publish in this issue a short
sketch of the life of Chief Powder
Face, and commend it to our read
ers for its ingenuousness and for the
radical change which it shows in the
life of one Of the most remarkable
men of his race.
George e. Reynolds and family re-
turned on the 18th from a long and
pleasant visit to the States. Mr.. Rey-
nolds also visited New York and
other Eastern markets and secured
and immense stock of goods for the
winter trade.
Ticman wants all men to know
that he isn't capable of driving a cow.
He tried that a few days ago, came
near running his horse to death and
had to take 1he back track several
times to please the COW, who insist
ed on doing the driving herself
Miss 10 Miles and Mr.. F. b..
HutchisoE, of the Cheyenne Mission,
were the parties to sleigh ride yes
tcrday afternoon, which is the first
Of the season. The turnout was an
improvised one and lacked the mer-
ry jingle of bells, yet the sight of it
carried us back to scenes in a coun-
try claiming higher state Of civil
zation than this.
& Mr.. Seger gathered up the frag-
Fments OF the magic lantern belong
ing to TO the Arapahoe school, put

Speaking of the parade OF the
boomers at Caldwell, a correspond !
ent Of the Kansas City Journal soys
"Thc idea that such a leader and
such command should presume to
dictate to the Government what its
policy should bc, and that their
presence along the border should ipl
any way hasten the action Of con
gress, is too ridiculous for Il Lno-
ments considerations"
The Indians frequently come to
the Agency saying that they find
stray stock in their herds, Civ
ing the brands with great accuracy
Few of these could be reported to
their owners for the reason that the
brands are not known and there is
no way OF finding them out. I'm this
connection, we wish to impress Oh
stock men the advantage of adver-
tising their brands in the TRANPoR-
TER. All Of the Agency people, or
those to whom the indians report,
take the paper and would gladly
inform cattle men of any strays re-
ported to them.
For the FIRST time since the publ
cation OF this paper was begun, an
Indian was approached last week ON
the subject of advertising his brand.
We refer to Powder Face, Principal
Chief Of the Arapahoes, who, as soon
as the matter was explained to him,
ordered his brand inserted and the
paper sent to him. Powder Face
and q number Of other Indians. frc-
AQucntly report stray stock to people
about the Agency, but as most of
the brands are not advertised, the
owners OF the stock cannot be in
formed. Stock men will soon see
that the Indian has common iu-
tcrcst with them, which ne is willing
and anxious to recognize. We will
probably publish number OF other
Indian brands soon, as there are
5000 cattle in small herds, among
the fuil-bloods.
With a view of finding out more
about the work being done in the
Indian schools at the Agency, we
visited, last Thursday, the primary
department Of the Arapahoc school,
and although the time at our dis
|posaI was short, yet we saw much

following simple and safe cure for the

mixture cool; strain and give one
half pint every three hours. This will
relieve the horse within twelve hours
