Three cars have Just been built by the

indeed, palaces on wheels. One was
constructed for Hugh J. Jewett, the

for Henry Willard, president of the
Oregon Railway and Navigation com
pany, and the third for T. w. Peircc.
president Of the Sunset route in Texas.
These cars form houses i'm miniature.
At the forward end of each car is a
kitchen: back OF this ir rar'or, which
serves as Il dining room, adjoining is II

Gone to Join Adams.



For the past two months it has been
known that Col. J. F. McKenna would
be arrested at the instance of his official
bondsmen, but for various reasons they
invariably held off and the matter for
the time being would be hushed up.
This has been going on as above stated
for some time, but more especially quite
recently has his arrest been talked Of,
and that quite openly, as for some
reason his bondsmen would no longer
consent to his freedom, although strong
ly importuned to do so by the colonel's
friends. During the past ten days or so
his sureties have had several conferences
and finally determined to have the mat
ter settled, and with that object in view
visited the office Of tn, United States
commissioner Monday afternoon and
lodged complaint against him charging
him with being defaulter of govern
ment money entrusted to his care while
receiver Of the United States land Office.
This action we believe was hurried by
the fact that it became known that Nc
Kenna was making preparations to leave
the country. A warrant was issued for
his arrest and placed in the hands OF
United States Deputy Marshal Raymond
a little after 6 o'clock, but before the
instrument could be served, the man foi
whom it was intended had left for parts
unknown, probably to look after the
l"pinto pony or "cropeared cayuse." al

which Weed and Hedges lost. Weed
now charges that the hands were put up
by Hedges and Scott, they to divide the
winnings. Weed had recently received
from the estate of his deceased father a
fortune of about five hundred thousand
dollars, and Of the amount lost it is stat
ed Weed paid the defendants during the
year over one hundred thousand dollars,
having compromised for $4,000, and
that $4,000 is yet due on the note. This
Weed now desires avoid paying, and
has begun attachment proceedings
against Hedges and Scott to recover as
mucn as possible of what they have al
ready received.

Washington special: Delegate Petit
grew introduced bill in the house to
provide for making an agreement with
the Sioux Indians residing upon the
great Sioux and Crow Creek reservations
in the territory Of Dakota, for the ces-
sion of a part af their reservation by the
government, and for setting apart a
separate reservation for them. This bill
is the same as the one introduced in the
senate by Mr.. Mcmillan, except that it
includes the Crow Creek reservation as
well az the great Sioux reservation.
Both bills provide that no cash annui-
ties shall be paid to the Indians, but the
sum stipulated to be paid for the cession
of the lands shall be expended for the
benefit Of the Indians.

The railroad company, for the accom-.

an incline from the platform between
the government and Montana ware
houses, at the landing atove town. The
incline, TO be used as truck track, will
be POO feet in length. and the dock l6x5O

facilitate the handling Of freight and has
long been needed. The construction of
this dock would lead one to suppose
that Pierre will be the terminus of the
railroad for time at least.-Pierre

A Narrow Escape.

Mrs. y. Atcheson, who arrived here
Thu, sday evening, had a narrow escape
from being drowned while crossing the
Cheyenne river III the Pierre coach last
Saturday morning. full account of the
accident we take from the Pioneer
'"The coach had on eight passengers,
consisting Of seven men and one lady,
Mrs. Atcheson, Of Custer. The coach
reached the river about o'clock in the
morning; and although the river was
running very high it was determined TO
attempt 10 cross. The norses plunged
in and bravely breasted the raging tor
rent until within about twenty feet Of
the opposite shore, when the force Of
the current took the off wheeler from
his feet, and in an instant everything
was In confusion. AS the horse fcii an,i
sank under the water, the messenger,
Joe Slattery, leaped from his seat and
cndeavored to get the horse on his feet
again.
The coach, in the meantime, kept
drifting down the stream into deeper
water, and as the stream began pouring
over the sides Of the box, five of the pas
sengers jumped out and scrambled
ashore, leaving Bud Avery, II. N. Ma.
guire and the lady still in the coach.
Then Bud crawled out on the side and
to the top of the coach, after which he

both of them took hold of the Judge and
tried to help him up. He had on a
heavy ulster at the time, which became
entangled somehow, and for a time it
looked as though the Judge was to suffer
the fate of Lord Ulins daughter, but,
finally by main strength and awkward
ness, he was hauled to the top of the
coach.
The vehicle continued drifting down
stream, and at this time, four horses
were off their feet. There was danger
Of the coach being upset every instant,
in which event the three would have
been plunged into the boiling food and
swept away like feathers. Divesting
himself of that ulster, the Judge made
the leap for life, and as he came up from
his baptism, he struggled against the
current until assisted out by the mes
senger and another man. During all
this time, the brave little woman had
shown no sign of fear, but was as calm
and collected as though in her parlor.
Bud told her that she must 60 next.
She quietly answered, II cannot swim"
No matter, was the reply, the boys on
the shore will save you. He then told
her to take off all her wraps, which she
did, and when all was ready, he picked
her up (the lady is petite) and with all
the strength he was possessed of, threw
her as far as possible towards the shore.
Joe and another man were ready, and as
she struck the water they caught her
and carried her out. Bud was now like
the boy on the burning deck, but unlike
that silly youth, he didn't stay but dove
in and soon joined the shipwrecked
crew.
By this time assistance had arrived
from the station, and the horses were
got out, except the one which fell first,
fol he was too full of water to be Of any
further use to the stage line. Then, by
the aid of cattle the coach was hauled
out, when all proceeded on their way to
Deadwood without further exciting in.

had plenty of opportunities to clear out
and the mystery Is that he didn't do so
long ago, being fully cognizant of what
was being done. He was last seen about
O'Clock in the afternoon, and was then
undoubtedly waiting to see what his
bondsmen would do, and learning what
had been done took occasion to leave.
