We extract the following from a
letter written by General Pope to
Major Dunn, Washington:
leave tomorrow for Reno. The
situation is plain: the Indians can
not live on the reduced beef rations.
There are 100000 cattle grazing not
far from there, and rather than
starve they will do as we do, take
by force what cattle are needed to
keep them and their families from
starving. This will provoke Indian
hostilities, which will lead God
knows where.
The only legal act the military
can do is to make them starve peace
ably-an almost inhuman service.
Is it really the intention of the
government for such q paltry sum
to plunge the frontier into a war
with Indians, or to assemble a strong
militia force to force these unhappy
creatures to starve in peace?
There will be fearful responsibility
somewhere if this matter is not set
tied now Should | find nothing
done when | reach Reno, ! shall
probably assume the responsibility
myself. | had rather suffer any
thing myself than see an Indian out
break so incxcusable, unjust and
fraught with such dreadful consc-
quenccs. There is no reason in it.

five hours, we reached our destina-
ton, and were received with out
stretched arms. We enjoyed our
selves hugely, the boys Fred and
Abb Williams and Ralph Collins,
doing everything in their power to
make us have a pleasant time; and
they succeeded admirably. We had
everything to eat the country afford
ed. Boating, hunting, buggy riding,
reading, ETC., three days passed al
most before we were aware of it.
The boys are nicely fixed up in
their new quarters, and enjoy good
trade from trcighters, ranchmen and
Indians. They possess the happy
faculty of making everybody at ease,

JESSE'S DEPARTURE.

On the morning of the Sd instant.
Jesse James was killed at his house
in st. Joseph, Mo, by Robert Ford,

horses and making ready for trip
to Nebraska, where they intended
to- rob a bank. Returning to the
house they met James who remark
that it was very warm and threw off
his coat and pistols. He then got
up on a chair to dust off some pct
ures. The Fords saw their oppor-
tunity, and Robert fired, the ball
hitting James in the lower part of
the head and coming out over the
left eye. The boys then telegraphed
the news to the Governor and the
authorities at Kansas City, and then
surrendered to the proper author

connection with the Governor and
the authorities of Kansas City for
several months, and this was the
first time they had caught him un-
armed. The departed desperate

Frank and Jesse James, was pres

Democratic Convention.

The Democratic Territorial Convention
met at the stated time and place, and
harmoniousiy made choice Of the gentle
men, named elsewhere in this paper, as
candidates for the various oihces in the
gift OF the people. The third, fifth and
ninth planks In the platform will GER
tainly aprcal strong ly to the people. The
rule of the Administration at Washing
ton, in making this, and other territories,
the dumping ground for place hunting
politicians who ,lay have been fortunate
enough T. control few votes in some
eastern city, and who cannot possibly
have anything but selfish interest IN
the welfare Of our people, should meet
the most pronounced antasonism fr'm
the press and public Of the territory.
We are heartily in accord with the last
section Of the platform, which reads:
..In the cic. Of county arsI district oficisls
favor ii,e s.leciion of 81 kDovn ability anil IN
tyrity rather than ths-c whose only clam 10 public
support is f.aity to Iarty interests.
The STArEsMAN takes the wider ground,
that the distinction in county politics a,
expressed in the terms, "Republicanism
and Democracy" implies moral one,
which does not exist, and if Republican
in office has shown the qualities Of hon,
esty, capability and efficiency, he is enti
tied to reelection, as against any man,
who may be either an experiment as an
official, or who may have been proven in
competent, no matter what may be HI.
political creed.
The unanimous choice Of the conven
iion, for Delegate to Congress, Thomzi
Burke, Of Seattle, will meet hearty re
sponse throughout the Democratic ranks
in this territory, and there can be nc
doubt. Of his receiving the pledges Of q
cordial and solid party support. With
the good news from Ohio as an incentive
the disaffection in the Republican party
ranks in this territory, and other prOpi
tious political circumstances, his election

for several years. and not only is he gentle

He has been prominently connected with

far superior to the fellow who sneers at him.
II he was in the Confederate army, he was
there honorably and from conviction: not for
an opportunity to rob the commi4sAry de-

Smart Widows At Saratoga.

1t was Chicago lady who this morn-
ing won $500 with which to buy bonbons
or bonnets, whatever you like. Ladies
are getting to be very fond of betting, and
they are always pretty safe i'll their ven
lures, since they never pay if they lose,
and some of them have made some lucky
hits this summer Ii is the fashion now,
not only for ladies', but children also have
their betting books, and are as expert IN
making entries therein as any follower of
the turf. 1t took Chicago widow to ill.,
veigle bewiiching old widower into bet
ting pair of thOronghbreds against Il box
of cigars. The widow won, as they usu
ally do, and while we write is this moment
dashing behind the thoroughbreds on her
way to the lake with another man by her
side. These widows are indeed the mos;
artful OF creatures, and Saratoga is full Of
them There is one pretty and lively
woman of this species here who has two
engagements on hand at the present time,
and several Others impending. She wears
two engagement rings on her little fingers,
which wonid be most embarrassin. to
most feminnes, but not to this sly widow
When lover No. sits by her side it is
his ring which glistens softly upon her fin
ger. The other ring is tucked snugly
away in her belt. And if she has not
tins To remove the ring she turns il art
fully aroand, 50 it appears an insisnili-
cant rim of gold TO which nobody could
object. This widow, as may be supposed,
has numerous correspondence from love
smitten youths, and her collection Of ori-
einal love letters is something unique
The other day she dropped package Of
letters from one Of her sweethearts, and a
rival lover picked it up. This was rather
troublesome for the widow, but rs usual
she found her way of escape. There
Glanced TO be another woman of the same
name as her own in the place, and she de-
clared the letters belonged to her, and ac-
tually sent them to her, having first, how
ever, arranged matters with her name
sake by making her valuable present.
