have heretofore been on the Pierre route and
on the wagon covers was the legend ''we left
Pierre to freight from Dickinson" This is
the largest consignment of freight that has
at any one time left Dickinson for the hills,
but it is as almost nothing when compared to
the millions of pound that will be carried
from this point.
The Sioux Falls Press records the arrival Of
a delegation from the north few days ago
in this: A delegation of ten prisoners arrived
in this city from Fargo last evening by the
st. Paul train. They were received at the
depot by Warden Koehler with carriages and
escorted to the pen in fine shape. They were
a lot OF young crooks. One of the officers
who accompanied the gang said the oldest
was under thirty years of age. Four of the
number are in for highway robbery and enc
for just common robbery. Two of the knights
of the road will serve terms of five wears
each, two for four years, and the ordinary
robber for only one year. The others are
here for grand larceny; their terms ranging
from one to five years. One would naturally
conclued that the Fargo bastile was pretty
well cleaned out by the departure of the del
egation referred to- Such however is not
the case. There are still twenty-one inmates
left in it.
Some mention was recently made of the
IT,
intendent of the Soldiers Orphan home
near Bloomington, Ill, with her daughter.
1t seems that the daughter has secured q
claim near Nashville, in the James valley.
S. A. Armstrong, of the Eagle at Altoona,
met the ladies and says Mrs. Ohr likes
Dakota, and the push, energy, and enter
prise of her people, and speaks in the highest
praises of the wonderful development of the
resources of the country. She says that no
where has she met more intelligent and re-
fined class of people than here, and predicts
for this country bright and prosperous fu-
ture These opinions, coming as they
do, from lady OF large experience in bust
ness transactions, and thorough knowledge
of the relative worth of different sections of
the country, have a special significance.
Mrs. Ohr's daughter is q young lady of rare
accomplishments, and has occupied positions
| as teacher in several of the best schools in
Illinois. She held down a claim near North
vile last summer and now has deed to
one of the best farms in Dakota In leaving
her home and coming to a new country, and
pioneering for a sufficient time to secure title
to farm, she has demonstrated that she is a
lady of energy, enterprise and excellent
judgment, and that she possesses the ele-
ments of success.
In explanation of the matter that led to
the arrest of Mr.. Root president of the bank
at Valley City, the Times saws: Some time
since E. c. Northrop, of Kibby, borrowed of
Herbert Root sum of money, giving in
curity mortgage on property owned by
Northrop at Kibbv The mortgage becoming
due and Northrup being unable to meet it,
an extension was given, the mortgage add
ing $500 to the note. a failure to meet the
payment OF this note a further extension
was granted and again $500 was added. An
other failure to meet payment, and Capt.
Northrop gave Root a bill of sale of the mort
gagged property. In the meantime North
rop had disposed of the mortgaged property
to Mr.. Horton, of Fargo.
Root, learning of this, took a posse and
went there and..seized not only the property
that had belonged to Northrop, but some that
he had never had any interest in. The
Times says the direct cause of the arrest was
this
When he and his followers arrived at Kib.
byyille there was found some men who had
been working for Capt. Northrop, and who
claimed that he was indebted to them for
wages due Finding that Root came to take
possession of and remove the goods they
supposed to belong to Northrop they
were naturally anxious to know how
they could 'make themselves solid" Root
! informed them that his mortgage and bill
of sale covered everything except some
wheat stored there, supposed to belong to
| Northrop, and which he advised them to
"gobble" and sell for their benefit Acting
on this advice, we understand, they did so.
AS it now turns out, however, the wheat did
not belong to Northrop, but had been sold to
Chas. A. Pollock, of Fargo, who brings this
pending suit against Root, the charge being
ian accessory to the crime of grand larceny.n
The prisoner Root, as previously announced,
was taken in charge of sheriff McFadgen to
Tower City.
A cattle owner on the Rosebud relates to
the Helena Herald this daredevil freak of q
cowboy, which is likely to cause retaliation
by the Cheyenne Indians: 1t is related that
''Sawney" Toliferro, cowboy in the employ
of Zook u Anderson, about forty five miles
from Rosebud station, was in charge of the
ranch in the absence of the owners. On
the 18th of this month ''Sawney" remarked
to one Reinhardt, another cowboy, that he
could 'put a bullet through that Indians
hat" abiding to an Indian who was quietly
sitting on pile of lumber about forty feet
away "and never draw blood" Con.
sequently ''Sawney'' pulled away with hii
six-shooter, (the Indian seeing his mo-
tons and good-humoredly looking steadily
in the face of the man who he thought was
in fun, shot whole through the Indians
hat, sure enough, but in doing so the bullet
tore up the scalp and inflicted a bloody scalp
wound, which stunned the Indian and
caused him to fall over to one side and call
out, 'Come here, boys" AS soon as this
daredevil act had been perpetrated the COW
boys started in one direction and the Indian
in another, evidently for the purpose Of get
ting help. In the evening the boys returned
to the ranch with some neighbors, who had
| in IN halr
when near the house they Were fired upon by
some ten Cheyenne Indians, who had col
lected to revenge the outrage upon one Of
their tribe. After the first fire, the white
men left for their homes. The
Indians then broke into the honse
and robbed it of everything they wanted or
could carry away, including blankets, pro-
visions, saddles, etc. They then set fire TO
the house and premises and burned them to
the ground, including corrals and stables
The loss of Zook IL Anderson is over $4,000.
1t seems there is an inoffensive tribe of
Cheyenne Indians living on the Muddy
about four miles from Lame Deer creek, and
on the Rosebud, where they have selected
farms and are mostly following the pursuits
of agriculture, and sometimes, as is believed,
killing steer or a calf. This wanton piece
of deviltry on the part of the COW boy will
surely be avenged upon himself if he stays in
that country, and may involve the whole
neighborhood IN war with the Indians on
the Rosebud.
Good fOhthe Women.
