Paying for a Dead Indian.

II an Indian is killed in quarrel his
relatives are usually appeased BY pay
ment remember once a fancy, over
bearing young Assinaboine buck came
into the Milk River agency and bent h
bow and arrow on the agents pet dog.
The agent warned him if he shot the
dog he would kill the Indian. The
Young buck shot his arrow, the agent
killed him. We expected to have some
trouble. but the grief stricken father
came forward on behalf of his relatives
and claimed that, in consideration of the
young man being such good buffalo
runner. the agent must pay for the loss
of such person red blanket, a piece
of calico. and four pounds of sugar. He
compl cd with their demands, but the
vengeful relatives thereafter adopted
him as their banker. The mother and
other relatives of the slain young man
scarcely ever met the agent without
embracing him and with endearing
epithets begging for something more
in remembrance of the good buffalo
runner, Forest and Stream.

WRONGFULLY REPRESENTED.
Mr.. Starks Not the Wicked Man He
Has Been Painted.

mas deem Idinteu.
THE BEE some weeks ago stated that Fred
M. Starks, a travelling salesman, was ille-
gally collecting money for the Jones &
Primley Drug company, of Elkhart, Ind,
and converting it to his own use; that he had
'done" the Richardson Drug company out of
Sl0J, and was conducting dishonest methods
with other druggists. Mr.. Starks arrived in
the city yesterday, and, according TO his
story and the statement of one of the officers
of the Richardson Drug company, an inius-
tice had unintentionally been done him
by The BEE in printing the mat
ter in reference TO him. He was
in the employ of the Jones &
Primley company as a salesman at $1,000 a
year and travelling expenses, and on the 18th
of last month he sent in his resignation to
take effect June !, as he had accepted an offer
from another house at better salary. On the
18th of that month he collected 500 from the
Richardson Drug company for a bill Of goods
furnished for them, and forwarded receipt
for the same to his employers in Elkhart.
From here he went 10 Norfolk, and as there
was some delay in the mails his house did
not receive the receipt and they telegraphed
the authorities at Omaha relative TO Starks'
movements. Everything was explained
satisfactorily, and few days later the Rich
ardson company had forwarded TO them
from the Jones * Primley company an
Acknowledgement of the payment of the 500.
From Norfolk Starks sent a statement to his
house of his expenses and cash account,
and expressed back his sample case.
The foregoing are the facts as related and
substantlated by competent and reliable
witnesses, and are cheerfully printed IN de-
fense of Mr.. Starks, who is represented to
be an honest and upright young gentleman
and enjoys the esteem and confidence OF the
best business firms throughout the country.

BENCH AND BAR.

WANT 4 NEW TRIAL.

-
The attorneys for the defendants in the
case of Ley against Groneweg 81 Schoentsen
which was tried last week and a verdict
rendered for the plaintiff in the sum of 50, 600
have filed motion for a new trial in the
case on the grounds that the verdict is not in
accordance with the law, the evidence, the
amount of evidence, the instructions of the
court and that the court erred in overruling
the motion of the defendants to have him in
struct the jury that q verdict be returned for
the defendants. The motion has not been
argued or passed upon.
Milard Mills, the soldier under indictment
for murder, was nMonday ordered to be
turned over to the military authorities. The
order was made on account of the lack of
funds to procure witnesses for the trial of
the case in this court.
Miller Miles, held for murder, will not be
tried this term on account of the exhaustion
of the fund for witness fees, and Monday he
has been handed over to the authorities at Fort
Robinson for safe keeping.
The creamery case of Davis against Ellis
was given to the jury yesterday afternoon
without argument.
Thel case of Fairbanks & Co. of st. Louis
against the city of Blair, Neb., was called.
The suit is to recover $lO,3W, balance
claimed to be due for the construction of a
system of WaterWorks for Blair The con-
tract, amounting to something over $4,000,
was made in 1885 and the works rendered to
the city in December of that year. Water
was obtained from driven wells. The con-
tract called for SOC, 600 gallons per day, but
the works did not furnish quarter of that
amount. 1t is also claimed by the defendant
that the pipes leaked and had to be uncev-
cred and recalked. The plaintiff maintained
that the required amount of water could not
be obtained from driven wells. In March,
1886 the city of Blair took forcible possession
of the works, had the pipes recallSed and en-
gagged Joseph Burns to put down additional
wells 1t is asserted that Blair now has a
successful system of waterworks, such as it
should have had under the Fairbanks con-
tract.

Not so Stupendous After All-Genera
Items of Interest.

Not so Stupendous After All-General
Items OF Interest.
On several different occasions the "only
great" railroad organ of the city has printed
loaded items concerning scheme of the
Santa Fe in obtaining a continuous route
across the continent. A traffic contract has
been made, so it was asserted, by which the
Erie road was to carry east bound freight
from Buffalo, while the Lake Shore and
Michigan Southern was selected as the Chi
cago-Buffalo line.
First vice-president, G. w. Smith, says
there is no truth whatever in the report, and
further that the Santa Fe has no intention
of extending Its system east of Chicago, or
of making any traffic arrangements what
ever with any other road. The report so
MIR. Smith asserts, must have originated
from the recent arrangements made
between the Erie and Wells,
Fargo & Co.'S express, which operates
over the Santa Fe system, and which has no
more interest than other companies and does
business with the road on the same terms.
So it will be seen that the "stupendous
scheme" mentioned is not so stupendous
after all.
FOUND DEAD.
Conductor Farrell of train 10 on the Union
Pacific found the dead body of

VAN ETTEN'S LAST BLOW,
The cold nerve exhibited by David Van
Etten Monday, in his appearing in the
court as an attorney in case pending the
the state penitentary TO serve years SEN
tence, was too much for the judges on the
bench, and yesterday Judge Doane an
nounced that Mr.. Van Ettens name had
been stricken from the list of members of
the bar until the last legal decision should
be made in his case, or until such time as
they saw fit TO reinstate him. The announce
ment was no surprise to the members of the
bar, as some such action on the part of the
court was expected.
ROBERTS TRIAL.
The case of the state against Joseph Rob
erts, charged with criminally assaulting
Anna Bellman, an eght-year-old child, was
called yesterday before Judge Croft.
Roberts appeared in court dressed in his
coarse, blue flannel shirt and rough clothes.
His wife, who is bright-looking woman of
about thirty years, occupied a seat near him.
She was neatly dressed and seemed To take
close interest in all the proceedings of the
trial. Anna Bellman, the little child upon
whom the outrage was committed, also oc-
cupied seat inside the bar rail and was ac-
companied by her mother. The victim of
Roberts lust is bright, strong-looking child
for her years, and seemed 10 understand the
proceedings about her even beyond her
years. Her mother sat near her, waiting to
answer her call as witness IN the case. The
greatness of the crime for which the pris-
oner is to answer made the work of secur-
twenty men were called before twelve men
competent TO try the case were found.
The foul story of the crime as ii was perpe
trated was told by she child in her direct ex-
animation. She stated that the defendant

When the bars were let down yesterday
thirty five sinners filed into the dock to an

The first of any Importance was Wilson
Lindley, who figured as disturber of the
bivouac of the Salvation army. His conduct
had been such as TO cause his ejectment from
the hall. Outside he attempted to terrify the
doughty salvationist by his yells, but police
man soon put stop to his antics by placing
him under arrest While waiting for the
patrol wagon a comrade of Lindley's came
up and insisted that he be released. He gave
as his reason for the request that he himself
had made the disturbance, and as he spoke
the words he picked up bottle and struck
one of the Salvation soldiers over the head
with it, inflicting a severe cut. He then turned
and ran off before the officers could
CT ;ch him. Lindley attempted also to get
away but failed. This morning he was fined
