PINE RIDGE DEVELOPMENTS.
What Was Done with the Surplus
fsati0ns Under the McGilIicudtS
Administration

What Was Done with the surplus
fsations Under the McGillicuddy
Administrations
Omaha SPECIAL; For some time affairs
at the Pine Ridge Indian agency have
been in a demoralized condition
Three months ago McGlllycuddy was
suspended as agent because he refused
to discharge his old clerk, Brown, in
order to make place for new man
named CLARK, and Maj. Bell was ap-
pointed acting agent. AT Bells re-
quest, Brown, the clerk, consented TO
remain and things went smoothly for g
month, when suddenly CLARK reported
tor duty. Bell refused to place him on
duty, and wrote to the Indian depart
ment for PERMISSION to keep Brown.
Being refused, he sent in his resignation
sloner, who declined to accept it, and
also insisted npon keeping CLARK AS
clerk. Bell then sent his resignation to
the secretary of the interior and he
referred it to the secretary of war, who
instructed Bell to remain on duty at
Pine Ridge agency. Now it is alleged
that the government has been paying
for food and other supplies for several
Thousand more Sioux than exist. The
Indian census is ordered taken on the
S0th of June each year. 1t has been
pretty well given out that the Sioux at
Pine Ridge and Rosebud agencies
would not submit to 1T, being so per-
| suaded by the suffers and contractors.
There was no census taken at Rosebud
this year, but at Pine Ridge Major Bell
| resolved he would try it. The reserya-
ton was divided into four divisions and
| police guards and interpreters were de-
| tailed to each district. The guards made
| corral, the police rounded up the
| Indians, and the names and number of
each family were given by the lntarpre
ters and written down. The census was a
surprise. Instead of 1900 Indians, as has
| been supposed, there were only $500.
The government has been feeding 1900,
| issuing the fixed rations Of three pounds
of provisions day fer each ration. The
| cutting off since the census will save
about 100000 per year. The only way
| without the census was to ask each
Indian how many there were in his
family and to write it on card, on
| which he would draw raticns. These
Pine Ridge Indians have found out the
difference salready, and will not have 8
chance to further the fraud. Pine
Ridge has been called the largest reser.
yation in the United States. Two hun.
dred Cheyennes went north few days
ago, SO now there are only 1890 indiana

The Chicago Inter Ocean commends
the Dakota constitutional convention
for failing to stand upon it's clearly
established right to statehood and in its
oonluiendatosy remarks Gays:
A decided majority of the convention
opposed the submission to the people
of the restraining clause in the constitu-
tion adopted last fall. This question
was fully discussed, and while there
seemed to be no disposition to question
the soundness of Judge Campbell's posi-
ion as lawyer, the propriety and prac--
tlcability of the proposition to set in mo-
ton state government in conflict with
territorial and federal authority were
matters OF moro searching inquiry and
consideration, in which Senator Elect
Edgerton, the president of the conven-
tion, was sustained in the end by the
convention.

A Denial from Judge Palmer.

1t having been rumored that a move
ment was on foot in the Sioux valley
to run Judge Palmer in for the delegate
ship under cover of friendship to Judge
Clifford, the Sioux Falls Press says:
Judge Palmer, it may be said, knows
nothing of any such movement. He is
in hearty accord with the Press in it's
advocacy of the denomination OF Indge
Clifford, and he thinks that not only
does the present delegate deserve the
compliment OF another term, but that
the people of Dakota, in justice to theil
own interests, ought not for d single
moment to hesitate in deciding to send
the Judge back to Washington.

A MILWAUKEE SENSATION.

A Quantity of Dynamite Stolen From Stark
Bros Quarry-Fears For the Safety of the
Court-H ouse-Precautionary Measures.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, May All sorts OF
rumors as to the disorderly and murder
Gus intentions of the Socialists have filled
the air all day. Intense excitement was
caused throughout the city yesterday af-
ternoon by the report-afterWard con-
tirmed-that large quantity Of dynamite
was stolen from Stark Bros quarry.
The explosive was used for blasting pur-
poses, and is known to have been at the
quarry in the morning.
When asked about the occurrence Chief
of Police Bless said he would make no
statement informing the public that the
mob was armed with dynamite. 1t would
only add to the excitement OF the hour
and do no good. The public had no pro-
lection against warfare by dynamite.
The authorities sent for the man in
charge of the quarry, and Mayor Walber
and Chief Bless were closeted with him
at headquarters to learn all the facts re-
garding the theft known to him. The
quantity of dynamite stolen is not to be-
divulged. Mayor Walber directed, after
the interview, that all valuable books be
removed from the Courthouse to place
of safety, and arrangements were made to
guard the building from attack BY
dynamiters.
Several days ago German paper here
published grossly infammatory letter
from an Anarchist leader named Simon.
He called upon Socialists and workmen
to organize, arm themselves with gune
and torches and then sack and burn the
courthouse, for the purpose of destroE
ing all mortgages and records. Next he
urged them to sack the banks and de-
pletc their vaults After all this had been
accomplished, Simon proposed to orgaL-
ize an army of Socialists to march upon
Washington and capture the Treasury,
the contents Of which were to be distri-
butcd among the people. This and sew
eral other communications from Anarch-
lists had much to do, without doubt, in
bringing about the riot.
At q late hour Wednesday night con-
siderable number of Workmen who had
been forced out of employment by the
Socialists, went to Simon's house, intend
ing to hang him to lamp-post, but he
had them arrested. Detectives searched
the house, finding four muskcts, two re-
volvers and 100 rounds of ammunition
hid away between the bed ticks. The
family declared there was nothing in the
house, and expressed great surprise wnen
The weapons were discovered. Frank
Iiierth, another Anarchist, has been ar
rested, and on his premises two revolt
vers and cartridges, together with a
Springfield rife and eighty rounds of am
munition were hidden away between the
bed ticks.

OF improvement. The three exceptions
were Officers Flaven and Nels and Jacob
Hansen. At the beside of Officer Flavin
sat his wife, holding small cruel
fix in her hand and bravely trying
to comfort and encourage her wounded
husband, who was apparently suffering
severely. The doctors examined the Off
GERS injured right leg, which was rest
ing in sort of box designed to hold
the limb immovable.
.eThe leg must come off, said the doc
tor.
ooh no, DOCTOR" protested the wife,
with the hot tears streaming from her
eyes.
"Well," said the doctor, "if you want
him to lose his life we will let it stay, but.
tell you the hour is tixed--eleven O'Clock
-lwhen the operation must be per-
formed.'
"Can't it be saved?'
"There is no use talking about saw
ing it. 1t is lost already. The leg is
as dead as if it were in the grave" he
replied.
The LEG was amputated at noon, and
Flavin stood the operation quite well.
He also has bad bullet wound in his
back, and the two wounds together make
his case avery critical one.
Officer Nels Hansen passed a good
night and rested comfortably yesterday,
but he has not reached that point where
it can be said he will recover.
Officer Jacob Hansen it is feared will
not live He is more dangerously hurt
than Ncls, but has q stronger COnstitu-
ton. If he lives he will probably lose
leg.
officer Mike Madden, who was shot
through the left lung by Loffelhardt
Wednesday night, was in good spirits,
and in condition considerably improved.
Loffelhardt, the young man who shot
Madden, and who received two balls from
the officers pistol, was much worse yes

possible, and he looked like il dead man
as he lay stretched on his cot.

his bedside and number of friends were

Commissioner Wicker, of the Chicago
freight bureau, said last night that the
wholesale merchants of the city were not,
on an average, more than three days be-
hind with their freight. In view of the
fact that the freight handlers strike has
now been on for a week, this. statement,
which is doubtless based on thorough
knowledge of the facts, may be consid-
cred somewhat remarkable. Mr.. Wicker
said the largest houses were, as rule, in
the best position, for the reason that they
have been able to send crews Of their
own men out with teams to take the
place, in measure, of the strikers. Con-
tinuing, Mr.. Wicker said:
"Indeed, | have no doubt that after
Sunday all stations will be in as good
order as if no strike mad occurred. An
exception should be made in the case Of
lumber traffic, which has been affected by
other influences than the freight-handlers'
strike, and it is difficult to estimate what
their loss will be.''
