OMAHA, Neb, May 25-The report that a
council Of Sioux Indians was recently held
at Clear Creek, d. T., and that Sitting
Bull and Standing Horse, Gerut and many
other leading Indians had decided not to
sign the treaty for the opening OF the great
Sioux reservation and thus prevent its
being opened for settlement. is without
foundation. Sitting Bull, Standing Horse,
Big Man, White Ghost and many other
leaders have been interviewed in the last
few days and all expressed themselves as
anxious to meet the officers Of ths Govern.
ment and do what was wanted of them.
Sitting Bull is perfectly satisfied with
the provisions of the bill. It is believed
that the signatures will be secured within
ninety days from the date of presenting the
bill to the Indians. The reservation will
undoubtedly be opened for settlement
early next fall.

TIED BY HIS WRISTS.
A Ntnc.Xear.Old Boy Found in a
Painful Position.


The people in the neighborhood of No.
40 Sepulvede street were much disturbed
last evening by the cries of child which
appeared to come from the inside of the
house. AS time passed the cries grew
worse, and thinking something was wrong
they telephoned to the police station and
officer Fowler went to the place. Going
INTO the house he found Frank Fountain,
a colored boy nine years of age, tied by
his wrists and stretched against door.
The rope with which his wrists were tied
was tied to the transom above and was SO
tight that he could not move. His feet
were also tied with a rope. and
when cut down he could hardly
hold himself up. The rope had cut into
his wrist pretty deeply but had not in
iured the skin. He said his father had
tied him there to keep him from doing
something bad or running away. The
peighbors, when they heard the circum-
stances, were quite indignant d said
they thought the man who tied the chill /
there should be prosecuted. Officer
Fowler took the boy to the Police Station,
where the boy said his father kept a
barber shop on Requena street, and that
he and his mother and sister had gone
out somewhere and left him tied.
Frank Fountain, the father of the bov,
was arrested at 8 o'clock last night and
charged with cruelty to children. He
said that he was only furnishing the boy
for his disobedience.

THE VINE DISEASE.
Letter ON the subject From
WashingtOn.


Mr.. Benz amin Pratt, of Orange, re.
Gently wrote to Washington about the
vine disease which is troubling this part
of the State. He received the following
in reply:
WASHINGTON, December 3, 1888.
Mr.. Benjamin Prou, Orange, Los angeles
County, California.
DEAR SRI am very much obliged to
you for your interesting favor OF Novem-
Der 22nd, relative to the vine disease in
your State, as well as for the specimens.
The latter will be examined carefully
and the result of the investigation will
be made known to you. have been
looking up the literature relative to a
disease very similar to the one in Cali
fornia, which occurs in Italy and is
known under the name cf "Mal Nero"
| have sent very full account of the
Italian disease to the Pacific Rural Press
for publication.
1t seems to me that it is OF the utmost
importance that this maladv which
threatens the whole grape industry OF
the State should be thoroughly investi-
gated, II our funds are sufficient we
shall send next spring thoroughly re-
liable and competent man to your State
to Investigate this malady.
Now it depends on Congress, and
especially upon the House Committee on
Agriculture, whether we do or do not get
the appropriation we are asking for, and
which is the same as the amount appro-
priated last year for our work. There
fore, any influence that can be brought
to bear on the members of the committee
from those who are suffering from the
effects OF this disastrous disease, will be
likely to do good
l hope you may feel disposed to COM
| municate with some member or members
Of Congress from your State as soon as
possible, urging the Importance of giving
the division of Vegetable Pathology
ample provision for thoroughly investi-
eating this disease. Ii ycu will get your
neighbors interested in this matter and
| ask them to write to your Senators, as
we'll as the Representative from your
district, have no doubt that they will
do all in their power to help you. In
writing to these men il would be we'll to
urge the necessity for immediate action /;
it would also be well to request them to
call upon the Senate and House Commit
tees on Agriculture and urge that the
division of Vegetable Pathology in the
Department of Agriculture be given
ample provision for prosecuting the work
Respectfully,
| B. f. GALLOWAY.

CONFIDING AGENTS.
How They Were Sent ON FOOL
Errands.

How They Were Sent ON Foolish
Errands.
About two months ago there fiourished
in this city fortune teller who was
called the Professor, and that seems to
be the only nams by which he is re-
membered at present. The Professor
was anxious to find agents who would
properly represent him throughout the
country but the agents must be reliable
men. A mere written recommendation
and certificate of character wss not
enough to suit the Professor. He would
trust 40 man unless he deposited with
him a certain amount in cash. Such
agents were not numerous but the
Professor finally received a call from j.
Liederman and Herman Beiske and
he finally concluded to allow them
to act as his agents if they would deposit
$3.50 with him, "not as security" said
he, "but as guarantee of good faith. "
The money was paid over to him and he
confGed to Liederman a mission which
took him to San Francisco. Beiske was
sent to Mohave, and the Professor de-
cided that any other climate than that of
Los Angeles was better for the proper
conduct OF his business. He departed,
and his agents after waiting for instruc-
tions until they became tired of the de-
lay, came back to see what could be the
matter. They have not found out yet,
for they have not met the Professor.
Their dreams Of wealth are gone, how
ever. The $500 per month which the
Professor was to give them will never
tempt them again into depositing money
as security for their faith. They have
taken no steps in the matter as yet, and
it is probable they will not unless the
Professor advertises for more agents.

A RumOred Change.

1t was stated last night on tolerably
good authority that the Santa Fe officials
have decided to vacate their present
quarters in the Phillips block and move
into the new Bryson building on the
corner of Second and Spring streets
within week. This change is to be
made in spite of the fact that the Santa
Fe paid $4,000 to get its hold on the
Phillips block, and has also leased its
offices for five years and thus leaves itself
open to a lawsuit. 1t must be remem-
bered that the above statement is only
rumor and was reported to the HERALD
too late to be corroborated or denied by
call on the officials.
