The Bloody SaVages.

BISMARCK, OAK, November ia
report has reached here Of another fight
between the Sioux and Crow Indians
near Fort Buford. a band of Crows,
numbering about twenty, tried to steal
the ponies belonging to band Of Sioux,
numbering fifteen, both parties being en-
route to BerthOld to visit the Indians at
that agency. The Sioux were aroused
at midnight by the barking of their dogs,
and seeing the Crows leading their
ponies away opened fire, and in
a moment every Indian of the
party was skirmishing and firing about in
the low sage brush in their regular style
of warfare. One old Sioux squaw was
killed by the first volley from the Crows,
and this made the fighting by the Sioux
fierce and desperate. The Crows were
routed after four of their number had
been killed and two wounded, and the re-
naming fourteen were pursued about five
miles. Returning to their camp, the
Sioux scalped ana mutilated the dead
Crows and passed the early morning hour
in a spirited scalp-dance. This is the sec
ond conflict between wandering detach-
ments of these tribes during the past
month.

NOT UNEXPECTED.

DR.. George A. Peters was found at his
office to-day He said: Mr.. Arthur
died of cerebral opoplexy, that is, it was
the immediate cause 1t was one of the
ways in which his trouble might termin-
ate at any time. To that extent it was
not unexpected. For two or three years
Mr.. Arthur had suffered from an en-
larged and enfeebled heart, and the va
riety of symptoms that alarmed his friends
were the natural result of his condition.
He had kidney trouble, Bright's disease,
but il was not the cause of his death. \
man of less powerful constitution would
have succumbed much sooner. His great
physical strength pulled him through as far
as this Mr.. Arthur was not only ply
sically strong, but mighty good man,
and those who were cloest to him in his
trouble learned to value him most highly.
