them together like bag, leaving an opening of
three fourths of yard at one end Then rip open
one end of the feather bed the length of three
fourths of yard Now fasten together the
opening in the bag and the opening in the bed
and gently crowd half of the feathers into the
bag. Then take out the basting thread and sew
up the gap in the bag Next put it into wash
tub of rather hot, soft water without soap, and
pound lightly Take out, drain, put through
another hot water, drain again, and place the
bag with feathers in it in the open air and sun to
dry They must be stirred often. and it is best
to do the work when there is prospect of fair
weather, the feathers might Sour" if too
long in drying Serve the remaining half of the

BLACK WOLF INsULTED.
A Cowboys Pleasantly Leads to Queer Muss
in Montana.


Fort Keogh Letter in Globe Democrat.
On the Rosebud river, twenty nine miles from
Fort Keogh are encamped band of Cheyenne
Indians who are peaceably engaged in agriculture.
Black Wolf head chief of the Cheyennes, a
peaceably disposed, fair-minded Indian rode up
to Zook 81 Anderson's ranch last Thursday on his
cayuse pony, and was greeted by the three or
four COW boys present with the customary west
ern sautation of welcome, How The savage
partake of the midday meal then about
to begin. He accepted, and after din
ner was concluded went off a little
distance sat down ON a log and quietly COM
menced smoking. While engaged in this occu-
PATTON with his back to the white men, one of
the latter, a hard-case cowboy by the name of
Talford in a spirit of deviltry wagered with one
of his companions that he could put hole
through the Indians hat with his six-shooter and
not touch the latters head. The bet was
promptly accepted, when Talford drawing his
heavy Colts revolver, took deliberate aim at the
Indians hat and fired.
Black Wolf.tumbled off the log but moment
later staggered to his feet with the blood
streaming down his face from deep cash cut
along the crown of his skull, quickly sprang on
his pony aud hurriedly made his escape through
fear of being killed. The cowboys, seeing him
depart in the direction of the village, daslling at
full speed on his cayuse, anticipated trouble, so
they quickly mounted their ponies and rode off
in search of assistance Help was secured and,
when, few hours later, the cowboys were re
turning with increased numbers they saw a
band of Cheyennes coming in the direction of
the ranch and a race commence between the two
parties to see which would reach the desired spot
first, but when the white men came within range
the Indians opened fire and drove the former
from the field They then set fire to the ranch
and outbuildings, burning them to the ground

on the Rosebud.
OF course, the news spread like wildfre. The
whole country was aroused, and every cowboy
within radius of one hundred miles fastened
to the spot ready and anxious to exterminate
the bloody Cheyennes without delay; but the
capture of the guilty ones was effected, fortu
nately, without bloodshed, and in a very short
space of time every warrior in the camp was
made prisoner. They are now confined in the
county Jail at Miles City, awaiting trial, while

A Word for College Athletes.


There is no more justice in the prejudice
clinging to old time methods in them than
there would be in demand for return to the
old classical course of study or that scientific
and special studies should be given up. They
all belong to an advance, to improved methods
and results, and the end surely justiies the
changed conditions. Nothing is clearer than
that the colleges are doing more work and doing
it bettcr than shey did generation ago. They
are closer to the people, with whom their rela-
tiens were never better.
