Did Riel Murder scottq


CHICAGO, May S2.-An article was pub
lshed here yesterday giving detailed ac-
count of the horrible death, in 1870, of
Thomas Scott, at the direct instance if not
literally, at the hands of Louis Riel, and in
the course of the article the name of a GER
tain Maj. Robinson was prominently men-
toned. This Maj. Robinson, an ex-officer
of the English army, was for a time an edi-
tor OF paper called the
New Nation, published at Fort
Garry during the revolt Of 1870, and was
according to the article, in close intercourse
with Rel at that time. Indeed it was pos
itively stated that Maj. Robinson was
present at the death of Scott, and the de-
scription of that heinous tragedy was al
legged to have come from him. The major
in question is at present in Chicago. His
name is Henry M. Robinson and he is en-
ployed as associate editor of the Interior, a
weekly literary and religious paper. To
reporter he was inclined to be reticent on
the subject of
SCOTS EXECUTION.

sides Louis Riel," he said, ''who knows the

shocking tragedy; but 1 prefer to say moth

''Will you not tell me whether Scott
was actually killed by the hand Of Riel

''No, prefer to say nothing more. The

First Confederate Impression of
Grant

Memphis Avalanche-Ou first i'm
preston of the great general and great
smoker was, as prisoner, after making
the forced march Grants advanced
corps made to get around Lees army.
The imperturbable face, firm sit of sad
die, square jaw, massive lower face, I'M
lit cigar. as he sat and gazed q moment
at daylight, as dispositions were max
ing, made an impression, although it was
later OF the same day that it was known
that it was Grant.
After the surrender, Grant rode by,
accompanied by Washburne, of Illinois,
and some confederates. To some re-
mark, some gush, we suspect, by a con-
federate, Washburne replied with some
other gush, which just at that gushing
moment of defeat, was thought to be a
very fine sentiment, Il am proud of my
gallant cOuntrymen of both sides"
The silent smoker rode without a
word, his cigar still rlnlit, and perhaps
the same he had in the morning, still
between his teeth. There was an ap-
pearance of firmness about the man and
about everything about him. The cigar
seemed to be fast rooted in the man, the
man IN his saddle, the saddle to the
horse, the horse to the solid earth. We
have never forgot the impression of
power, or that there was with it an ex-
preston of simple good viii and kind
ness, which was as distinctive a trait as
tirmness without severity. OF the cigar,
we had never heard; but it made an i'm
preston. Grant is not all Grant with
out it.

also a peak in the Smoky range in Swain

be higher than either peak in the Black

however.
