Indian Remedy for Cowboys.
Washington Correspondence of the Bostol
Traveller


Traveller
Last summer Gen. Sherman made
his last annual inspection of the mill
tary posts of the army, and n good
story is told by one of his staff officers
of his visit to one OF the Western
frontier forts. When the general ar
rived there was q large crowd of In
dians on hand to look at the big
Chief of the Whites,' as they called
him. After they had loo ked him over
to their hearts content, oneof them
approached and said: ugh, big In
dian heap want present Of cannon"
Gen. Sherman glanced at the brave
and replied: 81 cannot give you can
non. What do you want them for?
You mean to use them against my
soldiers ?" Now, an Indian is not
often guilty Of anything approaching
wit, but this one did very well, for he
said, as he shook his head: mo want
cannon to kill soldiers. Can kill SOL
diers with sticks. Want cannon to
kill cowboy" The reply was a good
one, but Mr.. Indian didn't get his can
non all the same.

IT is said to be fact worth noting,
that the largest and best yields OF
corn this year are to be credited to
the Missouri valley, and to that sec
ton of the country lying west of the
Missouri river, which forty years ago
was believed to be auseless and mock
ing desert, and from which the ex-
plorers sent out by the government
thought that settlers ought to be eX-
cluded by law on the ground, that II
they went there they would perish
from utter inability to raise enough
of anything to keep soul and body to-
0ether.

One of the queerest curiosities on
the globe is man with silver skull
who was lately visiting in Louisville,
Ky. During a fercely contested bat
tie in the late war this interesting in
dividual was struck in the head with
a piece of shell which tore away the
entire top of his skull, leaving the
brain most horribly exposed. Strange
to say he survived the terrible wound
and a surgeon succeeded in fitting a
silver plate over the opening, which
shielded the brain equally as well as
theskull. This plate is about the
size OF a mans hand and works on
hinges, and may be raised up and
down at will. The reSkulled man
does not experience the least pain,
and as he wears wig, all evidence of
a shattered skull is concealed.

McLarkey, VIM. Ledford, Geo. Carpenter,

The arrests were made at Creelsburg and
the prisoners taken to Fort Totten for safe
keeping. Intense Indignation at the muir
ders has developed in the last few days,
for it is regarded as one of the most cold
blooded assassinations ever committed in
this section. There are loud threats
among the law-abiding citizens against
Lieut.. Creel, who is regarded as in large
measure responsible for the deed, and when
he arrives at his claim he may be summarily
dealt with. He passed through this city
to-day on his way to DEVILS Lake in COM
