A HER easements.

The entertainment given by the ladies of
the Episcopal church on last Wednesday
evening was a most gratifying success IN
every particular. The sheet and pillow case
dance was witnessed by a large and quite an
aDpreciatlve audience and the necktie and
apron dances that followed afforded plenty
Of amusement. The oyster supper was q big
success. The good ladies who worked 50
hard in getting up the entertainment were
amply rewarded by the generous patronage
extended by the public. The receipts were
about $4,000.
Tomorrow night Mr.. Kennedy will give
q select dance at his new hall, something in
the nature of a house warming, and a pleas
ant time is anticipated.
On Tuesday night Of next week N

%BARBER-0Us BUSINESS.
The Sheriff Perpetrates q Joke R)that may
Result in the Death Of more than one
Settler.
Bad Eull, a Defenseless and Innocent Pris-
oner, outraged by an over Gacetious Of
fcRr.

When Sheriff HealY went North recently
after the Indian thieves who had stolen the
horses Of Harrison Bros, and others, from
the Yellowstone, he brought back with him
a Blood Indian, known as Bad Bull, as a hos
tage, supposedly, for the return Of the lost
horses and guilty Indians. It was not pre-
tended that Bad Bull had anything to do
with the stealing of the Yellowstone horses;
it was not pretended that he had committed
any offense for which he could be held amen
ible before the law. H was simply held as
a hostage. Doubtless Bad Bull is q bad In
dian that he would steal a horse if a good
opportunity were afforded we are ready TO
believe, but no charge of any kind was
made against him except in a very general
way. AT all events, Bad Bull was brought
in with q flourish of trumpets by the officer
and lodged in jail, where he remained until
Monday. Of his imprisonment, q matter OF
doubtful propriety, we have nothing to say;
it is Of his release, aod the high handed out
rage connected Herewith, we wish to speak.
On Monday morning the Sheriff, accom-
panied by some facetious friends and the re-
porter Of his orgaa, entered the Jail for the
purpose Of setting the Indian free. So n
they were joined by Mr.1Bryer, the tonsorial
artist. Bad Bull was INVITED to take q seat.
The apron was thrown over his shoulders,
and Notwithstanding his protest and piteous
appeals. his long black hair was soon clipped,
end Bad Bull, like Sampson of old, was
shorn of bis pride and strength. The Sheriff
laughed. Everybody laughed. It was q
brave deed! The organ gave 8 humorous (O
account Of it, and it was expected that the
readers would go into ecstacies over the ex-
cruciating joke ~ played on Bad Bull. But
strange to say they didn't. When it was
learned what had been done Indignation ran
high among our citizens. In every quarter
the act was pronounced foolish, laundering
outrage.
To any one who will stop to think Of the
probable results it must SO appear. Bad Bull
would almost as soon lose his scalp as his
disgrace and humiliation. It would be i'm
possible without taking his life to do him q
greater injury. He returns to his tribe dis
graced and will remain in disgrace until he
wipes out the stain in blood. II he would
come back and take vengeance on our funny
Sheriff it might not be 50 bad. But he will
not do that. The first chance he gets to kin
q white man he will do it, and Bad Bull is
Just the kind of an Indian to delight in ven
geance of this character. Some of the set
tiers on our northern frontier may be the
victims. No one knows. But mark the
prediction, Bad Bull, unless his earthly Ca
reer is shortly closed, will be sheard FROM.
We warn our leaders on the northern out
skirts to beware of him.
MoRAL-A funny man for Sheriff may be
8 very nice: hing on the outside, but he should
endeavor to cork up his humor when in the
performan ce of his official duties.
