Bad Bull, Blood Indian, whom Sheriff
Healy recently bought to Benton as hostage
for the return Of some horses stolen on the
Yellowstone, was released by the Sheriff last
week, a. there was no warrant for his being
detained, it being known that he had no con-
nection with the stealing. Before releasing
him, however, the Sheriff called in barber
and had all the Indians hair taken off, and
now IL is feared that Bad Bull will take his
revenge on some white man ON account Of
the act Of the Sheriff.
A disease snoug horses Is prevailing in
Beaverhead county, but whether it is the
pink eye," now prevalent in the East, has
not yet been determined. Thus far 1t has
proven fatal, q number Of horses having died
with 1T. When afflicted, horses become
dumpish, drop their ears and head and lose
the use Of their hind legs, apparently becom-
ing weak or broken down in the loins. They
stand without eating and live only about ten
days after taken. 1t renders them entirely
useless, a. they soon become too weak to
walk.-Husbandman.

1nez Maybert, one of the Butte demi monde,
committed suicide Thursday Of last week by
taking a large dose of laudanum. She left
note threatening 20 haunt her "fellow," who
apparently had mistreated her. She was
buried in fine style by the women of her
class. The history of Inez Maybert, as pub
lished some time ago in the Salt Lake Tri-
bune, is full of mournful interest. She was
born In village near Calcutta, India. When
but few years old her mother died and she
was left to the care Of her father, who was
soon after converted to Mormonism by the
missionary tramps Of that internal institu-
ton. He emigrated with his child to Utah,
and in a few years contracted disease and
died. The little girl was adopted by Brig
ham Young, and was placed in charge Of
that old reprobate's thirteenth concuhine,
who moved down to st. George, where the
little waif grew up. But the practices of the
polygamous crew in that hot-bed of the Lat

spire her with = very exalted opinion Of the
pleasures to be derived from Christian
mode Of living. and In alarm at the future

mining camp, and hired out as servant.
She lived there for several months, and
earned an excellent reputation, but was
finally compelled to return to her home in
st. George, an old Mormon having expressed
desire to take her as second wife. When
this proposition was made to her she again
rebelled, aud fed to Salt Lake, where she
was finally forced to enter q house Of ILL.,
