 ST.

He is at Standing Rock agency, where the most trouble is anticipat- ed, and together with a number of other prominent chiefs he has spoken out in meet ing against the treaty. A Globe spe- oial from Bismarck, Dak., tonight gives the particulars of a sensational attempt of Sitting Bull to make his way to another agency and there also make trouble for the commissioners. One Mrs.C. Wilder, widow, whose home is at Newark, N. J., has for some time been at the reservation and has been much fascinated by the old chief. It ia contrary to regulations for any Indian to leave the reservation without leave from the agent, but Mrs. Wilder and Sitting BulI arranged for a trip to Ros,bud agencv- Being unable to leave without perSfesion Mrs. Wilder undertook to get leave of Aoant Mclaughlin, but was refused.

-Fraud and Partlality Charged-The Jury Believed to Have Econ Packed ! mcDow Will Remain at Home. CHARLESTON, June 30.-Dr. McDow has
 been acquitted of the murder of Capt. Daw. l son. The jury returned a verdict of "Noi guilty" after two hours' deliberation. The verdict wes 6 surprise to the audience and community and much dissatisfaction is ex. pressed in the citY.
 While the jury were deliberating McDow
 seemed perfectly calm and confident. He appeared to know that he was safe. He chattsd with several of his friends as if nothing of any importance was taking place. While the jury were in their room great crowd of negroes gathered apout the court
 house. Their number increased every min-
 ute. Women ndschildren came out of every bypath and helped to swell the crowd. After deliberating two hours the jury returned to the court room and announced their verdict Mot guilty!"
 When the jury was drawn it was openly charged that there had been fraud at the drawing, and that jury had been arranged to acquit McDow. It was known that at
 least two of the officers charged with the
 drawing of the jury were hostile in their
 feelings toward Captain Dawson. But the
 majority of the people were loath to believe
 that there had been any f:aud. Now many do believe that the jury was picked one.
 An analysis of the july shows that every
 man on it was opposed to Captain Dawson, either on political or race grounds.
 2There were Democrats on the jury, but they were bitter toward Captain Dawson on account of his course in paI y factional fights. The race prejudice wes adroitly managed. Captain Dawson had been an aggressive Democratic leader and the negroes seemed to think that they now had a chance to get even with him in acquitting his slayer. A negro was heard to say this afternoon that after this he wasn't going to allow any white man to call him nigger. The effect of the ver- dict is seen already.
 MoDow went to his home after he was giv- on his freedom and nothing has been seen of him since. He told a friend that he intend cd to remain in Charleston and practice his profession just as if nothing had happened. He said he could soon live down "this little scandal"
