Shooting at FlshertOmn.

Last Saturday, Marshal Sam Six
killer and his brother Henry, Of
the Indian Police, received word
from Eufala that a man at that
place was selling whisky, and caus-
ing considerable trouble among
the Indians. They took the eve
ming train for that place, but on ar
riving there found that the distill-
ed damnation was at place about
seven miles from there. On the
way there they wero warned that
he was desperate character, and
were on their guard. Upon reach
ing the house where the whisky
was supposed to be concealed, they
called out and man came out Of
the house asking what they want
ed. They remarked that they were
passing that way and stopped to
see if they could get something to
drink. He told them he had moth
ing but a man who was staying
there had and if they wished he
would call him. Accordingly he
stepped to the brush and called,
whereupQn aman made his appear
ance, going into the house, but inn
mediately coming out again with a
shot gun. He asked them what
they wanted Repeating what they
had said he replied: "Wcll, boys,
treat them all alike; | have whis
Ky for those that want TO buy and
shotguns for the Marshals, That
he would sell whisky TO the Mar
shals as quick as anybody They |
answered in a joking manner, that
was all right, and a'ter receiving d /
quart of whisky asked how much |
it was. The price being named, /
Capt. Sam put his hand on his re-
volyer, as if reaching for his |
money, when Henry said, y will I
pay for it, and also grasped bis /
revolver. AlIthis time the Illicit
trader had kept his gun presented
ready for instant use, but in pre-
pairing to receive the money he
dropped it out of range, when
quicker than flash he was look
ing into two improved 44's. Jump
ing back he drew on Capt. Sam,
but before he could press the trig-
ger two deadly missiles bad sped
on their way and silenced him for
ever. 1t was q clear case of self
defense, as at such close range
with a shot gun, was instant death.
Fourteen gallons of the forbidden
stuff was found in the house and
confseated. Between fifty and
sixty gallons more are supposed
to be hidden in the brush around |
the house, but it being dark they
did not find it. They took the
man s team and hauled him to Mus
kogee, where he was given a decent
burial. Parties will, ere long,
earn that the Territory laws are
not to be violated, and that we
nave a well organized and compe-
.ent police force TO enforce them.

DAKOTA NEWS NOTES.
A Dakota Indian Scare,

A lively Indian scare, which ct one time
seemed likely to develop into . genuine panic,
was experienced during the latter part Of July
by tho settlers in the vicinity Of Maitland post
Office, Douglas county. OAK. It appears that
scattering bands of Indians from the Yankton
reservation were in the neighborhood gather
ing wild turnips, and it was reported that one
of their chief men had notified the settlers that
they were trespassing on the Indian lands, and
must leave their homes by the next moon OF
they would be removed by force. The citizens
became greatly excited over these reports, and
the matter was brought to the notice Of the mil
itary authorities, which resulted in Gen.
Terry's sending On officer from

the Fifteenth infantry, .ascert.ined that Big
Fat-Mandan. an Indian, had tried to convince
one of the settlers that certain claims were
very near the line Of the Yankton reservation,
but his words were Misunderstood and his
signs or gestures translated into threats: the
details rumor supplied. A meeting Of the cit
liens was called by Lieut. Payne on the 9TH
inst at Maitland, which was also attended by
Mr.. Redpath, the agent in charge at Yankton.

Wood Finish.

The patented preparations known as
wood filters are prepared in different
colors for the purpose of preparing the
surface Of wood previous to vanishing.
They fill up the pores of the wood, rem
dering the surface hard and smooth.
For polishing. mahogany, walnut, etc.,
the following is recommended: Dissolve
beeswax by heating spirits of turpentine
until b mixtures becomes viscid; then
apply by a %c]ean:cloth, and marlborough
ly with a flannel or cloth. A common
node OF polishing mahogany is by rub
blng it first with linseed oil, and then
holding trimmings or shavings of the
same material against the work in the
lathe. Glass paper followed by rubbing
also gives a good lustre. There are vari-
GUS means Of toning or d%arkening woods
for decorative effect. Logwood, lime,
brown soft soap, dyed oil, sulphate Of
sun g rays, carbonate of. soda, bichro-
other alkaline preparations are used for
darkening the wood; the last three are
specially recommended. The solution is
applied by d%issolving one ounce of the
alkali in two gills ofboiling water diluted
to the required tone. The surface is satu-
rated with a sponge or flannel and i'm
meiiately dried with soft rags. The
carbonate is used for dark woods. Oil
tnged with ROSE madden may be APP
piled to hard woods like birch, and a
red oil is prepared from soaked alkanet
roof in linseed oil. The grain of yell ow
pine can be brought out BY two OF three
coats of Japan much diluted with tur-
pentine, and afterward oiled and rubbed.
To give mahogany the appearance of
age, lime-water used before oiling is a
good plan. In staining wood the best
and most transparent effect Is obtained
by repeated light coats of the same. For
oak stain q strong solution of oxalic
acid is employed; for mahogany, dilute
nitrous acid. A primary coat or u coas
Of wood filters is advantageous. For
mahogany stains the following are given:
2 OF. Of dragons blood dissolved in one
quart of rectified spirits of wine, well
shaken; or raw sienna in beer, with
burnt sienna to give the required tone;
for darker stains, boil halfa pound Of
madden and 2 OF. of logwood chips in
one gallon of water, and brush the de-
coction while hot over the wood. When
dry, paint with q solutionof2 OF. of pot
ash in n quart of water. A solution of
pernanganate of potash forms a rapid
and excellent brown stain.-Amateur

Iron Mines on the Missouri.

1IV11 NA1AAOS OA OU0 Nx1SSOOE1s
The Missouri valley has long been
famed for its wealth and diversified re-
sources, and now comes the story that
there lies imbedded in the western
banks below Bismarck a rich and mex
haustible iron mine. Several gentle
men who has been exploring through
this section, informed a Tribune report
er that they had discovered pieces of
iron ore weighing from fifteen to twenty
pounds, which had been washed out of
the banks by the rushing waters. It is
well known that iron abounds through:
out North Dakota and
especially in the sand about
Bismarck. The artificial stone company
is rejoicing over the fact, as it enables
them to make the very handsomeet
brown stone, and gives them a more
durable material than can be made any
where else in the northwest. But If
iron abounds in as large quantities as is
represented by those who have just re-
turned from down river, before many
months iron mining will be one of the
greatest industries of Dakota. Thus it is
that every day adds new honors to this
wonderful land, and impresses one more
fully with the belief that Dakota will be
the richest and most powerful of all
Americas bright galaxy of states.-Bis-
marck Tribune.
