Chief Keokuk and Wm. Harris.
delegates from the Sacs and Foxes
of the Indian Territory to Wash
ington, who arrived from their
agency Thursday last, made call
al the CHIEFTAIN Office. We we're
gratified to see the Chief in the en-
joyment of excellent health. and
looking as If there may be in store
for him vet many years of useful
ness among his people. He is now
residing on his stock farm, a few
miles from the agency, where he
has quite herd Of cattle in good
condition, besides other domestic
stock. Although applications have
been made TO them for the purpose,
the Sacs and Foxes have thus far
resisted all efforts made 10 obtain
from them leases from outside par
ties for grazing purposes. The pres
sure, however, Is great, and 1t
seems TO have become almost a
matter of necessary self-defence,
although Justly distrustful of the
outcome Of such policy, as their
range is almost Overrun by the
drifting upon their reservation of
the large herds held in their imme-
diate vicinity, as II is believed that
even persons who have enclosures
are not over-careful In keeping
their wire fences in suitable repair
TO confine their stock to their own
enclosures. The Sacs and Foxes
are more generally supplied with
horses than with cattle, and value
them moro highly, but the number
of those turning their attention TO
cattle Is gradually increasing, as is
the number who are turning their
attention 10 the cultivation of the
soil. The school al the agency Is
fairly attended by their children,
several of whom are also at Hamp-
ton, Carlisle, and the new school
at ChilOceO in the Territory, near
arkansas City, Kansas. The Sacs
and Foxes, although small in num-
Der, are divided in their locations
There are about $40 of them In
Iowa, 80 IN Kansas and $50 in the
Territory. The number in the
Territory shows an increase in a
few years past. and, if let alone, 1t
is hoped they viii not fail TO make
commendable progress in the near
future IN the pursuits and habits OF
civilized life.

In the early part Of the month a
Cheyenne Indian named Running
Buffalo was shot and killed by E.
NJ. Horton. a Texas hOrse-droger,
and one Of his men, near Canton
ment, in the western part Of the
Territory. The version of the af-
fair is that given by Horton and
his drivers. Horton had q drove
of 400 Texas horses, which he was
taking 10 the Kansas market. After
crossing the Canadian near Can
tOnment, he was tackled by n
band of Chevennes under Running
Buffalo for money and horses, for
grazing. Upon his refusal 10 pay.
Buffalo tried to get Horizons gun
from him, but could not, and then
pulled down on Horton and said
me kill you - several times, and
cried "war !" and pulled the trig-
ger, but missed fire, when Horton
shot and killed Buffalo, one of his
men also shooting him 'in self-de-
fense." They took Buffalo's pis-
tol, recrossed the river at a run,
and made fer Cantonment. Horton
telegraphed 10 friends In Kansas,
and while at the Office Of the oper-
ator, it was surrounded by armed
Cheyennes. who were prevailed
upon by Mr.. Harvey, in charge Of
the Indian Mission there, TO desist
from an attack. From the Office

Horton and party were conducted
TO a stone building about 500 yards
distant, and would have been fired
upon by the Indians, who thought
from their movements that they
were attempting to escape, but for
the Intervention of Little Chief.
Lieut.. Gibbon, Co. F, 9th Cavalry,
was sent from Ft. Reno, 60 miles
distant, and liberated them, taking
Horton and his man, who also shot
Buffalo, TO the Cheyenne Agelcy.
About one-half of the horses were
turned over to the Indians. and the
remaining three hands allowed %
proceed towards Kansas with the
balance Of the drove. Horton and
the other man were afterwards
turned overt deputy marshal and
taken to Kansas for trial before the
U. 5. district court:
Running Buffalo has bad rec
ord given him by those furnishing
the account of the transaction,
which comes from Horton and
those who side with him. What
the Indians have to say about the
circumstances of the killing of
Running Buffalo and the conduct
of Horton and party, has not been
reported. There may be two sides
20 the occurrence, although only
one NAV be heard from But he
that as it may, some papers around
the border seat themselves on their
launches and howl, after the man
ner Of the coyotes, about the In
dians and the Indian Territory,
without regard to person and char
acter, obliviOus to the fact that
town marshals have been leaders
of bands who murder bank presi-
dents and cashiers, fo- robbery,
and that more crime, diabOlical
crime, Is perpetrated by their own
people upon the persons and prop
erty OF one another, and upon the
Indians. than tv the Indians upon
themselves or upon whites. But
no one but q fool or a knave, or a
cross between them, would inveigh
against the whole state of Kansas,
Texas, or any other state, because
of these individual acts which oc-
cur within their limits. Nor viii
others than these indulge in such
denunciatiOns Of the Indian Terri
tory.

give evidences of advancement, as
a result Of the growth of the farm
ing and stock-raising interests in
their several vicinities. The coun-
try around all these places is sus-
ceptible Of improvement, and we
shall expect - see an Increasing
addition to their settlements.
The annual roundup Of cattle,
where not completed, is going on.
While the heavy loss anticipated
in some herds is fully realized, in
others it IS much less. Cattle have
drifted badly, however, and some
time may elapse before all that
have safely passed the winter viii
be found and gathered.
The Frisco road from Vinita to
Tulsa is in good order. recent dam
ages having been fully repaired in
the few places where they occurred.
and is under good management.
W. O. Williams, the efficient road
master from Seneca TO Tulsa, keeps
an eve to his duties, and the result
is that few, if any, accidents occur.
Joe Hall. the conductor from Vi
nita TO Red Fork, is spoken Of by
the natives as the cleverest and
most accommodating Of men, and
what they say is so, as they are not
likely TO be over-lavish in COM
mendiRg men in any position, much
less those who are offensive in
manner and presumptuous in tenn
per. From personal intercourse we
endorse their kindly sentiments
towards Conductor Hall.
As for George Stephenson, the
engineer, everybody about Vinita
knows him, and perhaps from St.
Louis 10 Red Fork. lie took US
aboard his lively pet for fifteen or
twenty miles, and between the in
tervals of whistling cattle and hogs
off the track, and the noise and
clatter Of the train, we drew from
him a few items of personal his
tory which we may repeat. George
AS everybody calls him here-is
a native Of Canada, and between
30 and 40 years Of age. He COM
menced railroading when only
about IS years old. and has been
at it for Il years, having practical
ly passed from wiper to engineer,
and learned and performed all the
duties of his different positions.
He is at present IN charge of both
ends of the route from Vinita to
Tulsa, and the force properly at
taehed to his special duties, but
finds valuable aid in running his
passenger locomotive in the person
of his assistant, John Sullivan. of
whom he speaks in terms Of high
commcndation. George has fol-
lowed the construction of the road
from R0lla, Mo-, to Red Fork, be-
yOnd the Arkansas River, and hopes
yet 10 run his daisy to the Pa
cific, which we viii not be SUI
prised if he should do. Fortune
farors the brave. lie has met with
no serious accident thus far, creeps
or flies, IS occasion requires, and
Is always cool and taciturn when
not irritated and overfiowing with
IS sometimes is the
case. May his boiler never burst,
nor his end be met IN the last ditch.
