among the Sioux Indians, and the Gus

being introduced among them. A few
days ago Spotted Tail, Jr., a son of the
famous chief, eloped in fashionable

latter was off on hunting trip at the
time, and returned to find his fire gone
out, his squaw departed. and his tepee
-desolate. Gathering his friends about
nm, he started out with his rifle,
threatening the life of the offender.
The affair was reported to the agent,
who summoned the faithless wife and
her paramour to the agency, where
they were confronted by the wronged
husband. When the agent demanded
OF young Spot whyh had committed
thls wrong, he said, "she forced me in

IN which the agent acted as mediat-
Or, 1t was decided that the wounded
honor Of Stranger Horse should be

with her again. In following the usag-
es OF the tribe Stranger horse will very

High-Priced Hay In Colorado.


Hay is now selling in San Juan coun-

ty well up, but is still far behind what
was seen on the Comstock in early
days. All old-timers will remember
when hay sold at 25 cents per pound.
Green grass was then retailed at 10
cents per pound. In the summer Of
1860 an old Frenchman made snug
little raise at packing grass from
Flowery District on an old horse. This
grew in punches, about rod apart,
was about the thickness of riding
whip, and from six to eight feet long.
Having no scales the old man used TO
count his hay out, giving from three
to five stalks for pound. When this
kind of hay was criticised by his GUS
toners, the good old man, whod did his
moving with a. hatchet, was wont to
say: "Ah, sare, I agree wis you! Zee
hay is a leettle coarse, but he is very
succulent. Besides, I give zee good
