STANDING ROCK COUNCIL.
Belief That the Sioux VIII sign For a Few
Extra Rations.

Belief That the Sioux VIII sign For a Few
Extra Rations.
Sr. PAUL, Minn., Aug. a-The reports Of
the Standing Rock conference are rather
contradictory. The regular correspondent
at the agency says yesterdays council
lasted over four hours, but nothing was
accomplished The Indians refused to
sign. Speeches were made by Gall, Mad
Bear, Sitting Bull and other chiefs. Sit
ting Bull said he was opposed to the treaty
and as many of the Indians had crops to
look after there was no use of keeping
them in council longer. Gall said that he
would never sign either paper and that
this was finai. After making this declara-
ton he went up and shook hands with
each Commissioner as evidence of his
friendliness TO the whites. He simply
opposes the treaty and says he
does not believe the Great Father will
be very much displeased. The Indians
have not much land left compared with the
vast possessions Of their forefathers, and
he could not see why the Government
wanted to take half the land left when
there was so much vacant land elsewhere.
1t was expected that if the Indians could
be convinced to-day that they had not in
erly they could be induced to sign. The
Commission had these treaties explained
by the same interpreters who participated
in making them, but it seemed to have no
effect. 1t is believed that after the beef
killing Saturday and drawing Of rations
Monday most of the Indians will leave the
agency, and the Commission will open the
papers for signing Friday or Saturday,
and will get the interpreters, who are get
ting five dollars per day from the Govern
4nent, to lead off. They will hardly have
the courage to refuse.
A Pierre correspondent says: "Direct
and reliable information tonight from O
Government official now at Standing Rock
agency, is to the effect that the Indians
will sign the treaty beyond a doubt. He
says the commission received its instruc-
tiOns from Washington 10 get the Indians
signature and they are going to do it. The
reds are simply holding Off for presents
and feasts and at no conference has there
been any strong opposition to signing the
treaty."
This intelligence, together with that re-
ceived from Lower Brule and Crow Greek
this morning to the effect that there was
no opposition down there, confirms the be-
lief that the commission will succeed with
its work and that within three months the
reservation will be thrown open. Governor
Church has returned to Bismarck from the
Standing Rock agency. He says thal
while the Indians are stubborn, he believes
the commission will finally induce them to
sign. Auditor Ward thinks they are sim
ply holding out to get more rations.

GUlLFORD MILLER CASE.
Secretary Villas Puts 1t on a Solid Legal
Ground.

Secretary Villas Puts 1t on Solid Legal
Ground.
WAsHINGTo y, Aug. 3.-Secretary Villas
yesterday rendered decision in the cele-
brated case OF the Northern Pacific Rail-
road Company VS.. Guilford Miller, which
has been pending in the Department of the
Interior for more than two years. The de-
cision places Miller's claim upon a solid
legal ground, and not upon any equitable
consideration in his favor. The order is
that the homestead entry shall remain in
tact. Miller will, of course, be obliged to
prove up, as between him and the United
States. and show his continued homestead
residence and cultivation, and if the rail-
road company makes any further con-
test it must be in the courts. The opin-
ion is decisive as to the claims in the Inte-
riOr Department. 1t is understood that
there are about 1000 cases in the General
Land-office awaiting the determination Of
this case. The case in which the decision
was rendered was a contest between a
homesteader and the railroad company.
Miller claimed that he settled upon the
land, which is 100 acres in the eastern part
of Wyoming Territory, in 1873, and after
ward, in 1884, he made a homestead entry
of it. The land lies within the indemnity
limits of ten miles, between forty and fifty
miles distant on the definitely located and
constructed road of the Northern Pacific
Company, and in 1888 the company claimed
and selected this land for deficiencies in
its grant by list of selections which it
filed in the land office. The company then
asked to have Miller's homestead cancelled,
because it was in conflict with its grant.
The General Land-office refused to do this,
and the company, more than two years
ago, took an appeal to the Secretary.

L. W. Jackson lost some cattle q day
or two ago and started out to hunt them,
accompanied by his dog. In hunting around
they came across an immense alligator, but
as his 'gatorship was engaged in watching
some calves, he did not notice Mr.. Jackson
and his party (he having been joined by two
friends). Afr. JacksOn's dog, not being very
well up in the gator business, commenced
the attack at once. As soon as his gator
ship could change his mind from calves to
dog he made a sweep with his tail that
brought the canine around to his business
end, and before the dog had time to think of
the past. made snap that would have end
ed his career then and there, but the gator
miscalculated his distance, and instead of
taking the whole dog, tail and all, he got his
tail only. The dog being thus freed, started
on a home run; but the gator wanted dog
If he could not get calf, and therefore
started after him, rolling over and over.
This method of locomotion was so unusual
that the dog became disguised, and made
such good time that the gator gave it up
and turned his attention to his human ene-
mics. They in their turn armed them
selves with fence rails, and then the fight
was fast and furious. The gator would
take the rails between his teeth and crunch
them as if he enjoyed them as diet To
vary the exercise he would snatch a rail
and sweep it round over that section of
the country, making his assailants give
him plenty of room. Finally, after q ter
rible struggle, he was forced to go where
all gators go.-G9aesrile (Fta.) Adr0cate.

A Wicked Uncle.

DEs MONIES, Iowa, Aug. 3.-Mary Flynn
has filed petition in the district court
claiming $4,000 damages from her uncle,
Michael Flynn, a wealthy farmer of this
county, for damages to character, bodily
suffering and fright. She charges that
Flynn, who is her guardian and has
charge of her property, accused her of
stealing his money and shockingly abused
her. AT one time she says he put
rope around her neck by which he
dragged her out of the house and then
hanged her to a tree until she was nearly
dead. She charges that he afterwards cut
her down and dragged hor back into the
house by the rope and set her in chair
with the rope still around her neck, but
that she was so badly hurt that she fell to
the floor. After she had lain there some
time he threw bucket of water over her,
which partially revived her. He then ac-
cused her of stealing his money, winding
up by demanding: "My money or your
life." He was trying to find revolver to
enforce his demand when a neighbor came
along and stopped him. Since the alleged
assault the girl has been stopping with
relatives in Des Moines.

She fell TO the floor and the other
girls gathered around her and became
most alarmed and excited. Suddenly
one Of them gave a wild shrek and
fell over in violent Mysteries. The ex-
citement increased, and in a minute or
so another young woman was seized with
hysteria- The girls were now almost wild
with nervous excitement, and one after
another were seized with hysteric convul-
sions. Their cries and struggles as they
lay quivering on the floor, combined to
make the scene an extraordinary and
alarming one.

Threatened Rate War.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Aug. 4.-The excur-
sions of the Blaine clubs to New York are
upsetting the calculations of the Eastern
lines and will, no doubt, precipitate pas
senger war. The Chicago & Atlantic is
making the rate east of Chicago, which is
$3.50 for the round trip, making the rate
$3.50 from Kansas City for the round trip,
good for twenty days. As the Chicago &
Atlantic refused to sign the Central Traffic
Association agreement, its action in cut
ting the rate in two in the middle is Great
ing considerable CONSERVATION among the
other lines. Just what the outcome will be
is not known, but it is possible that it may
lead to a cut in rates, with serious conse-
quences for all the lines interested.
