Yesterday as the reporter was roaming
about the streets, he was accosted by n
small boy, who wished to know where he
could find a constable. Seeming an lem,
the reporter at once asked whathe wanted
a constable for. The reply was that "he
wanted him to arrest father, who was
drunk Further inquiry elected the in
formation that father was abusing
mother, breaking the dishes and fur
%niture, and had taken baby brother"
from his bed and dashed him violently to
the floor, and mother was afraid he was
badly hurt" Taking the boy with him,
the rel orter sought the police Office and
the lutte fellow told his story to Officer
Nolan. The offender was quickly recol =
nized as Ell. Couch, a job expressman.
Procuring an express wagon, Officers
Nolan and Thomasson proceeded TO
Couch S residence. on the south side OF
the railroad track. On arriving the Of
ieers found their man. He was drunk
and furious and the officers had consider
able trouble in making the arrest. He
was finally got into the express wagon
and brought into town. He is now in
iail awaiting trial to morrow.

No smoking smelters OF blazing fur
naces are needed to develop the Silver
Crown district. No lavish expenditure of
capital is required to sound the depths of
the ore beds. Small sampling works,
costing from $500 to 81, 900, will do the
work. The prospectors want opportunity
at present to prosecute their search, To
effect this a certain money supply is
needed. The sampling works spoken of
would insure this money supply. AS the
prospcctors found the ore it could be
sampled, all that was valuable purchased.
and the worker furnished with sufficient
money for the necessarles of life and his
mining tools. As the sampler would at
once stamp their actual value, no worth
less ores would ask for purchaser and
the prospector would pay his W way.
Upper these conditions the entire district
you'll be thoroughly prospected within a
years time, and its ore producing value
be definitely determined.

One Joseph Metzler, of Denver, is in
the city. Mr. Metzlcr has, by using, we
are informed, the names ofhis entire fam
lily and connections succeeded in or bling
some COCO acres of the public domain
near Fort Fctterman. This is a matter
that should be closely looked into. Mr..
Metzler is not even a resident Of our ter
ritory, and we question very much if even
residence would justify or allow such a
wholesale appropriation of the public
lands. There are too many settlers in
good faith fixing longing eyes from out
the sunrise upon the fertile lands of the
West for Wyoming to allow her portion
of these lands to be grabbed in such huge
mouthfuls, by resident or nonresident.

1t is reported that emigrants are rapidly
occupying the lands along the Union Pa
ci6c between this poini and the Nebraska
line. The spring influx is in full progress
and heavy settlements will be very likely
made in the section referred to. Along
the line of the Union Pacific in Nebraska
last year, the settlers raised splendid crops,
and trustworthy advices are to the effect
that they will be repeated this season. II
the Nebraska lands will generously repay
the farmers efforts, 50 will the lanGs
across the Wyoming line. A rich tribu
tary farming. region is one Of the many
bright prospects Of Cheyenne's future.

No doubt all our readers have either
read or heard of the Missouri outlaw and
bandit, Jesse james, and learned of his
tragic death at the hands of the assassin,
Bob. Ford, at St Joe, Mo-, a few years
ago, which death left a widow and two
bright little children on a cold and unehar
table world without means Of support,
but this intrepid woman had accompan
led her husband and his band in many of
their wild, dangerous and yenturesome
expeditions, whereby she became an ex-
pert in the use of firearms, which sugges-
ted to her to put herself on exhibition,
and she has appeared in all the first class
theatres and museums in the states; also
in Montreal and Toronto to large and en-
thusiast;c audiences. Aside irom the in
terest derived from the notvrietY of her
husband, she gives a first class perform

the world famous scout, Texas Charlie

How Their Territory Has Been Ruined-Slow
Work in Doing Them Justice.
Washington Special to New York Evening Post.
Commissioner Atkins has received no infor-
nation corroborating the stories coming from
Minnesota that the Chippewas at Leech and
Winnibigoshish lakes are starving, aud he dis
credits such reports because the Indian appro-
priation bill became law two months ago. and
a new fiscal year began three weeks ago. and
the appropriation bill gave $54, 666 in money and
goods, mostly money to the various bands of
Chippewas. While this is not enough to sup
port the Indians all the year round, it is hardly
conceivable that the Indians should be at thi~
season wholly without means of getting fool.
The fact that the agent has not informed the
Office OF any unusual or pressing necessity
among the Indians Is pretty good evidence that
the reports to that effect are not we'll founded.
At the same time the Commissioner admits
that Congress has treated the Indians badly. and
If the latter are greatly inconvenfenced thereby
1t Is not strange, and if they feel ugly and
restless and complaining it is not to be won

part of the system for improving the navigation
of the upper Mississippi flooded 46 900 acres of
the lands OF these Indians, and destroyed much
of the area on which they were accustomed to
raise hay for sale and gather wild rice for their
sustenance. Congress, in 1881, appropriated a
little less than $l6 900 for the decentralization of
the Indians, and board Of survey that year es-
timated the damages at between SIS, 900 and
$4,000 The Indians, however, protested
against the inadequacy of this amount,
and they have ever since refused to
accept it as payment in full, and
therefore they have received none of it, for the
department had no authority to pay il except as
payment in full But the complaints of the
Indians were so loud that the Indian Office ap-
pointed new board to assess the damages, and
this board fixed the amount at little more than
so. 900 for tribal and individual property taken

crops to the Indians. The board made no
award for the 40 900 acres of land flooded except
in this indemnity for the hay and rice
the Indians were in the habit of gathering there
from. For three years the Interior Department
has asked Congress to pay the amount of this
award to the Chippewas but Congress gives no
attention TO it. Secretary Lamar and Commits
sioner Atkins make the same recommendation
that Secretary Teller and Commissioner Price
made but il has no effect. The Indians need

The Black Man Begins to Turn His Attention
to Mercantile Pursuits.

New York Times.
1t isn't going to be many day before New
York stores will support colored statesmen. The
black man in the metropolis has never ventured
far towards getting foothold in mercantile
circles, but there are indications that point to
the turning of his attention in that direction.
An instance illustrating this came to my notice
yesterday. 1t shows black mans capacity.
and, too, it shows that he may command Gus
tom of his own that store-keepers find profit in.
A gentleman who owns a big clothing store
was applied to by young negro man last month
for employment. There was good deal of am
bition IN the young fellow, for he asked for a
clerkship He had fair education, was quick
at figures, and was blessed with tongue that
knew no hating. He didn't get the post of
salesman that he wanted. but was hired to play
the part of general utility man in the estab-
lishment at Sc week. He did up bundles ran
errands swept the foors-did general mental
service. But he didn't complain. One day,
three or four weeks ago. he approached the pro-
prietor with new proposition.
81 suppose" said he, ''that you've got no OBJ
lection TO my drumming up little trade The
merchant smiled, perhaps a little sarcastically,
and assured the young man that he might drum
to his hearts content: 'And what's the commits
sion?" quoth the busiuess-like young man. The
proprietor amused, named a very liberal per
centage Before that week was over somebody
else had to be hired to do the errand running
ard other things in the general utility line The
young black man had time only TO receive his
friends and show them the stores line of goods.
In moment he had developed into a full
blown salesman. His commissions on actual
sales amounted for the first week to over $50.
The next week they were twice that The pro-
prietor's eyes were wider open than ever they
dared peep before. Such push and enterprise, such
success. were amazing from such source But
he had made good bargain, and he sticks to it.
Some of the white clerks objected alittle at first,
but that sort of prejudice is over now, and ex-
errand boy brunette has been put on salary
that would make the heart of many pale
skinned college graduate beat little enviously.
The colored men of New York are organized
in societies where fraternity is a ruling prin-
ciple With his "brethren" in these societies
was this young clothing clerks success; and
there too, will be the strength and success of
other live men In mercantile pursuits II is not
much in the line of rashness to predict that it
of the prominent mercantile houses will have its
colored salesman.
