1t would seem as though the editor of
the Dakota Outlook, having chosen
fankton as his place of business and
depending largely uponslta people for
encouragement in a. .laadable enterprise,
could best afford to omit from his COL
umns the sneers he bestows upon his
patrons. We all know he is the subser.
Went follower of the man who has ma.
llgned our community all over Dakota
and the adjoining states, but it has been
hoped that he would separate himself
from the fortunes of one who is de.
spised by the supporters of the Outlook
and build up for himself an individuality
which would place him in accord with
the sentiment which surrounds him. By
labored effort he has kept his paper
tolerably free from the bias of his mind,
but the mask occasionally drops and
some little covert fling gives evidence Of
the inner feeling. The Outlook, il il
dared. would be an outspokeu defende,
OF Ordway and Ordwayism. Not daring
it permits its splenetic utterances te
carry it to the verge of its desires and
there halt, wishing all the while that il
might go farther.

BON noMME's BLOW.

A Furious Hurricane sweeps Over Por-
tion of the County.
Springfield Times srd.
No doubt the worst storm of wind,
rain and lightning ever experienced in
this section, is that which swept furious.
ly over Springfield Tuesday evening, be.
ginning about eight O'Clock and lasting
nearly half an hour. The storm showed
itself in the northwest about half an hour
before it struck. It steadily forced it's
way against a strong south wind, grow
ing in size, blackness and foreboding ap-
pearance as it advanced. One great ugly
looking point hung to the southwest of
town and another to the north, while
the body, lurid greenish black, like
some huge monster swept furiously to-
wards u.s. About eight O'Clock the van.
guard of rain struck us, and people we're
beginning to think it not so bad as it
looked, when suddenly the wind, in all
the fury of hurricane burst upon us.
Trees were bent to the ground, many
snapped of, and limbs and twigs carried
through the air. The roar of the storm
was terrific, few people here having ever
before experienced one so severe. It is
estimated that the wind, loaded with
rain, must have been going at the rate
of from sixtx-five to seventy miles an
hour.
The fury of the storm was equalled by
its duration, as the wind at its worst
kept up for at least fifteen minutes.
Everything movable, and some things
not considered movable. went with the
storm. A heavy self-binding reaper be-:
longing to Mead & Bailey was run quite
q distance and number of wagons vent
off at q 2:l0 gait, only etopping when
upturned. The barn at the Springfield
hotel was torn to pieces, the six horses
contained therein miracnlously escaping
uninjured. John Browns barn was nm.
rooted. II. A. James new warehouse
was twisted out of shape. and numerous
chicken coops and other outhouses blown
down or upturned. One small out
building at the dwelling belonging to E.
w. Monfore was lifted in the air and
carried several rods, landing in the
street.
News from the county is beginning to
come in, showing the storm to have been
very severe. n. F. Quinn, whose farm
is four miles northwest, had his large
wind mill blown down and his barn de-
mollshed. A small out building was
picked up and carried over his grove OF
trees, and landed some distance svay,

MONDAYS WATER SPOUT.
Geo. Mead, who was coming home
from up country Monday afternoon says
that when short distance this side Of
Choteau creek he witnessed genuine
water spout. The cloud from which il
fell assumed the funnel shape and
dropped towards the earth, but when
near the ground the bottom fell through
and the water poured down in torrent.
The fall of water, he says. lasted at least
ten minutes. The "epout" poured out
its store of water near the creek, which
no doubt carried it of without serious
damage. Mr.. Mead was not over three.
fourths Of mile from the wonderful
freak of nature, and says that while it
was grand sight, he was fully as close
to it as he cared to be.

9ankton's town site is one of the most
beautiful We ever saw, having good

sloping to the south, and from the upper
and higher portion of the city giving

try. On this prominence, when
We first went there, the Indians depos.
tied their desd-not inferred, but
wrapped IN blankets and securely en-
cased in bark coffins, placed on scaffolds
about ten feet high. For number of
days after death they regularly plecea
food there for the spirits, supposed to
linger awhile and to need material sus.
tenance. Whenever any of the tribe
passed near these places of sepulchre,
they set up dismal howl, as thus they
mourned. Now We see no evidences that
the red mon ever inhabited this country,
other than an occasional Indian, appa.
rently civilized, for they dress much as
do the whites. On this spot, in 1859,
Just before our final departure, we saw
9 grand feast dance Of the entire Yank-
ton Sioux tribe, said to contain 10000
people, on the occasion Of their receiv-
ing their first payment from the govern.
ment. Then the men wore only q blan.
ket and breecbing around the hips, and
the blankets were dispensed with in
warm weather. We inquired for
the head chief, Strike.the.K .Kee, who still
lived. He was remarkable man for an
Indian. When he returned from WASH
ingtoD, after making the treaty. he was
so strongly impressed with all he saw on
his trip and the prosperity and power of
the whites, that he told his people all
about it, and proposed to go to work as
whites do. He even gave them the ex-
ample, assumed the garb of the whites
and planted and hoed coma disgrace
full thing in the sight of warriors, for q
brave to do. Many of the tribe believed
he had been bribed. and was trying to
deceive them about what he saw. His
life was in danger, and he feared to
sleep in bis own tepee or tent, but lodged
at night among his trusted friends. As
may be imagined, such q man soon ele-
waited his people, and on their reserva.
tion they now have farms, school,.
churches and are one of the best of ali

Writes Letter to His Paper Regarding

j. Y. Gilmore in the Louisiana Cotton Ball.
Crossing near the mouth of the James
river. one of the longest unnavigabie
rivers in the world, we soon reached
Yanktou, the Oldest and long the most
populous town in the territory. We first
landed here with our pioneer party of
six, on July 18th, 1853, and found four
young men had put up a log hut
to hold the town site. We arranged to
take an equal interest in the 32O acre
tract. or tenth, each of the town site,
and all but one took claims of l6Q acres
each adjacent. On this spot now stands
a beautiful city of 5000 inhabitants, with
very wide streets, we'll shaded with ma.
pie trees, and those 16O acre tracts are
now worth from $50 to $lOO per acre
each. We thought our fortunes we're
made, for We had gone that long dis.
tance and endured untold hardships to
obtain the best town site in Dakota, and
believed We were secure, for. while it was
still Indian territory, they were friendly,
and the treaty to secure the lands to our
government was soon to be ratified.
