Tho Faulk County Indian scare.
The Huron Leader publishes letter
from Hand county patron which tells
of the excitement caused in that section
by the report Of the Indian massacre in
Faulk county which turned out to be 80
utterly void Of foundation. The writer
says:
I was in Miller yesterday when the
news came OF the Indian scare. Great
excitement vas caused, outriders being
sent into the country to gather in the
settlers, the intention being to center at
Miller from st. Lawrence on the east,
and Bramhall on the west. 1 was depu-
ted 10 come and arouse tile people. Ar
irving here I got your extra, which
read to the crowd at the station. The
only news the people here had received
was from the pay car: which preceded
the mail train few
minutes. Then every one
was excited-the female portion Of ue
more so than the White Braves. All pre-
pared for a vigorous defense of the lives
and property soon to be sacrificed by the
Indians.
Alter getting cooled of the men or.
ganized. Word was sent to the settlers
in different directions, and at night.fal
pretty much all the people had gathered
in town. bringing beds, bedding and
food, not knowing but that they would
have to stay here several days. Pickets
were to have been posted all
along the line, and other prepa
rations were going on when trair

was no truth at all in the report of tn,

The bolt struck the roof of the house,
tearing up the shingles and making ugly
holes in the front part of the house, not
stopping in its dreadful course until it
had stricken down the man, who but a
moment before little dreamed his doom
was 30 near at hand. He was struck on
the right temple and killed instantly
His wife, who was sitting on his lap
singularlv enough was only stunned BY
the sheck and soon recovered. When
consciousness returned the grief of the
young wife was agonizing in the extreme

Pioneer Press: The attorney of Grow
Dog, who has been visiting Rosebud and
Pine Ridge agencies, reports that Gen.
Cook, agent at the former reservation,
has resigned his position; that charges of
misconduct had been preferred against
Cook. and an investigation held by In.
spector Gardner. The charges against
him were: Introducing liquor into the
Indian country; being intoxicated at the
agenoy; allowing his employees to be in
toxicsted, and committing adultery with
Indian women; and SO many witnesses
were brought that the inspector insisted
that he had enough. It is generally be.
lieved at the agency that all the charges
were fully sustained by the evidence,
and it is generally believed that Agent
Cook has received notice from the de.
partment that he is no longer needed,
and new agent or special agent is ex.
pected there on the 9th of July. The
attorney claims that Cook uses his in.
Auence to secure the conviction Of his
client, Grow Dog.
