Mr.. Andy Wilson, Of South Fork,
came into our sanctum sanctorum
Tuesday morningandin informed us that
the reporlsin last weeks issue, where
we made the types read, that he
killed the horses on the Indian res
ervation, at South Fork, was mis-
axe. He did not kill the horses,
nor did ,he Indians camp around his
place and build fires, but that Capt.
Branigan came to his house, in com
pany with body of Indian police,
told him what had happened, and
that the Indians required Sl30 to
settle affairs. He told Mr.. Brangan
then and there that he did not kill
the animals. but the Captain informed
him that his life was in danger, and
he had better settle it. Upon this
assertion he made the settlement,
but informed Agent Llewellyn that
the money so paid would be under
protest. We are glad to make the
correction, Mr.. Wilson.

health made him leave for diver

on the creek, his iovial, good
natured ways making all his friends.
He had gone out of his way to ac-
commodate the brute that murdered
him several times, and it all goes to
show what hardened wretch will
do to accomplish his end when the
desire for cussedncss comes over
him. Mr.. Flynn's relatives. in
