The Standing Rock Indians.

A correspondent at Fort Yates gives
the following account Of what he saw during the
recent wholesale slaughter of beef cattle for the
national dead-heads at the agency: "The Indians
are in high glee over the prospect Of plenty Of
porterhouse steak this winter. There have
been 1900 cattle killed and divided among them.
Sitting Bull and his tribe slaughtered 700 head.
The manner in which the work was done is az
follows A corral is formed of cord wood and the
cattle driven into it. A detachment of Indian
police are the butchers, and they are armed with
rifles. When the shooting begins IL is All inter
esting though cruel sight. Some Of the animals
do not fall at the first shot, but limp around until
they get in proper position, when they receive
death wounds. Sometimes one will make q dash
for his slayers, and swhoop' goes up from the
Indians, and also from the squaws, who are spec
tators from the wood-pile. Probably it reminds
the Indians of the days when they hunted the
buffalo, now nearly extinct. When the animals
are all killed the Indians and squaws rush in to
do the butchering. The quarters are stored III
the agency warehouse and issued to the Indians
every ten days, in small quantities. together with
their flour, coffee, sugar, etc. They take the In
sides and heads away with them on killing day,
nothing being wasted. Each squaw takes her
load, while her lord and master walks ahead
empty handed, with majestic indifference. Those
who possess a pony are better fixed then the
buck can ride, while his squaw leads the cayuse.

TIE Tribune of Sunday was undoubt-
edly the best newspaper (of a regular issue) ever
gotten out in Bismarck. BY Irregular ISSUE we
mean to distinguish that number from the many
frst-class 'boom editions which the Tribune ha,
put forth in years gone by. A clear, wellprinted
and expensive cut of the new capitol is given, TO-
gether with a comprehensive political history o
the territory, and with the names Of all Dakota's
congressional delegates and legislative war
horses from (as the learned say alpha to omega
or las the worldly minded would remark) soda tc
hoe. 1t will devote especial attention to news
and gossip from the capitol, and the man who
doesn't take the Tribune is to be pitied.

The Highway to the Capital.

Bismarck is the objective point of all
travel from this section and from the neighboring
county of McIntoshj Road Supervisor Kelly did
some excellent WORK last fall on that part of the
road between here and Bismarck which runs
through Emmons county, and next spring 1t will
be in tirst-ela.s condition. Defects in the high
way in Burleigh county exist, however; and self
interest, if nething else, should prompt her COM
mssioners to have them remedied, as everything
required to be purchased for use down this way
must be hauled from Bismarck. The slough Just
inside the Bnrleigh line, near Thomas Sanders,
could be bridged at little expense and two or
>ehree swampy places should be made more solid
The Apple Creek bridge, too, is exceedingly dan
gerous. Some say it is liable to go down under q
heavy load At any rate, crossing 1t after dark,
or with shy team by daylight, is pcrilous un-
dertaking. A substantial guard should be built
on the sides ofthe bridge from end to end.

stPersonal Liberty,,,

The saloon-kcepers of Bismarck have
formed an organization known IA the "Psrsonal
Liberty League or something of that kind. The
society has sent out circulars in which, after re-
citing tho alarming" fact that there are thirteen
counties in Dakota which do not grant liquor
licenses, they invite cooperation in their obje&s
from every saloon-keeper. They also desireSfo
obtain the views of county officials regarding the
question Of license. While the RECORD is not an
advocate Of prohibitory laws, neither does it be-
lieve an aggressive movement of this kind will
advance the interests of the liquor dealers

the books and accounts of the outgoing County
Treasurer, Mr.. j. N. Roop, showed everything to
be in first-class condition. The accounts ''evened

of the county. Some one probably overpaid tax es
