SICK AND STARVING.
The Awful Condition Of Indians
Near Fl. Buford.
TwENTY-oNE YEARS IN PRISON
The Sentence Passed Upon Man VINO

of a Pennsylvania Miners
Wife and the Cause.

Sr. Paul, March ia correspondent Of
the Pioneer Press at Fort Buford, Dakota,
writes: Indians reached this post from
Poplar River recently on their way to
Standing Rock Agency, as they said, to get
something to eat. They were overtaken,
however, by Indian police sent to arrest
them and convey them back to their
agency at Poplar River. They declined to
obey the orders OF the police, and for q
time the prospects for fight were most
favorable. They finally agreed to refer the
matter to General Whistler, commanding
at Fort Buford, who induced the Indians
to return peaceably to their agency, with
the prospect of starvation before them
The situation at Porlar River has been
steadily growing worse. A letter from
a missionary at Poplar River says:
I'VE do all we can for sick and needy In
dams, but our resources are so Limited we
cannot assist all who are in distress. Ii Is
really pitiful to see them. From SIX 70
eight die every week from Starvation aao
IL seems to me that something more mus!
be done to relieve the sick at least. Gould
you visit them, as l have this last week, 1t
would have made your heart bleed; such
picture of want and misery did they pre-
sent. Can't the people Of Buford come to
our assistance. in rescuing these poor NOR
tais from such an appalling fate? | feel
sure You will do all you can when you
know the terrible suffering these poor crea'
lures are enduring. IL is impossible to
live here and not heed their piteous cries
for aid. If you can't do anything, for them
l will be obliged to ask the people OF the
East for assistance. The white people here
have given them all the spare clothing
they have; yet hundreds OF them are near
ly naked. Scores OF them are sick with
pueumonia and other diseases brought on
by exposure, and with nothing to eat. Peo'
Die of Forts Custer and Keogh have done
what they could for them"
Money has been appropriated BY Con'
gress for the relief OF these famishing peo.
ple; but such are the delays, by reason oil
red tape, that it will probably be months
before the needed relief will reach them:
Assistance to the extent OF. the ability OF
the charitable people here has been tele'
graphed to Poplar River to-day, and further
efforts will be made.

cient to support them. This fact preyed
on the mind of Mrs. Geary, who saw moth
ing encouraging for the future and re-
solved to die by her own hand rather
than see herself aud children hungry.
At o'clock this afternoon she procured q
rope and went up to the garrett and atGer
tying one end OF the rope to the rafters
directly over the stairs and the other end
around her neck she jumped into the stair
way and was straDgled to death. An hour
subsequently she was seen by little girl,
who gave the alarm. She was cut down
and the coroner notified. She was about
thirty years OF sge and highly respected.
To-day was pay day in the Shenandoah
district snd when the miners heard of her
death they showed their sympathy for the
family by generously contributing from
their small wages q sum sufficient to pay
the funeral expenses The jury rendered
a verdict in accordance with the faots.

with q sentence OF 81 years in the peniten-
tiary. James Robinson, Of Martinsville,
near this city, so beat and abused boy 8
years Of age-his step-son-that he died.
The details are almost too horrible for
print. The physician who made the post

the body he found the face blue and swol.

Blue spots and sores we're over his en-
tire body, arms, legs and head. There
was long cut on the head that
went to the bone. II had been
done at least twenty-four hours; perhaps
forty-eight hours. The child's neck was
badly scratched and cut Two large bruises
the front OF the head. There were more
bruised and sore places than sound flesh
upon the child. There was blood clot on
the brain. Some of the wounds on the legs
were two or three inches leng and from
ons-o Darter TO three, uarters OF an inch
wide. The blood clot was the result OF
violence, q blow upon the head. The peo.
pie Of the coanty threatened lynchinS, and
TO avoid it the jury held the verdict until
about train time. The prisoner received
sentence and was at once started to the
station for the prison. A mob OF hundreds
OF people followed, trying TO take him from
the officers, but the latter succeeded in
holding him.

GAINESVILLE, GA, March 17.-One OF the

large number of misses are entered as

furious with drink. They drew their re.

way, which drove people into their
houses, and left terror behind them.
When near the academy the pu.
pills were out at recess, but the whizz OF the
bullets soon scattered them and they ran
toward the school in the wildest confusion.
The drunken men drove up their teams
wildly and discharged pistols frequently
after the fleeing girls. The latter sue
ceeded in gaining the protection OF the
school and closed the door; Their aSsaii-
ants then halted and riddled the door with
shot, seyersl of which passed through and
drepped on The floor wishin, where the
girls were clinging 10 each other aud

with fear. The infuriated men outside &C

senators Bayard and PendIeton 0p-
peso the Foot and Mouth Disease
APpropriasi0n Bili.
WASHINGTON, March l7.-In the Senate
Piumb's joint resolution appropriating
$3.50, 900 for the suppression of the foot and
mouth disease vas taken up and Bayard
addressed the Senate. He said the police
powers had been exercised by the States.
not by the general government, and in his
belief there was no authority In the consti-
tuition for the power sought to be bestowed
by this measure.
Pendleton said he had not been able to
bring himself TO full approval Of Cokes'
amendment, which would strike out the
word "Kansas" from the original resolu-
tion, so as to make the fund applicable to
all States affected. He thought he had
seen in the debate IN this subject the
spirit shown that there was In the United
States Government deficiency Of power TO
do the thing contemplated, and that this
resolution would exc ont this authority.
Cullom, while not fayoring every measure
proposing Intervention in State affairs,
by the general government said he thought
there were measures in which that inter
vsption was justifiable and necessary. The
total value Of the cattle, sheep, horses and
hogs Of the country amounted TO the enor-
nous sum Of two and half billions OF
dollars and the United States Government
would be most derelict in It's duty II it did
not intervene to protect 30 large and wide
spread an interest An entirely different
state OF afiairs existed now from what existed
years ago. We had one hundred and
twenty thousand miles of railroad con-
stanly carrying cattle about the country.
We had thirty-eght States and nine or ten
Territories each acting for itself, one act.
ing to day and another TO- morrow or next
day, and meanwhile the prosperity OF the
the country was being destroyed.
Referring to the remarks OF Pendleton as
States right, Garland said he was States
rights man but the view taken by the OPP
pobent's present measure would establish
condition of governmental constipation
aud bind up the constitution too closely.
Plumb said there could he no unbilical
cord connecting the disease in different
States. The difficulty here was the great
spread OF the disease all over an enormous
region of country. There was no danger
GUS power given the Commissioner of Agri
culture. AS to fear Of further expense to
be incurred, he (Plumb) would propose an
amendment, providing that the general
government should not be responsible for
anything beyond the appropriation.
