The Sioux Commission.

ROSEBUD AGENCY, SOUTH OAK, June A.
The Commissioners first council with
the Sioux was held yesterday afternoon.
All the prominent Indians of this agency
were present, as we'll as delegations from
all the other Sioux agencies. Governor
Foster was Chairman of the Commission
and explained at length the provisions
and scope OF the bills. He said that
while the Government did not propose to
take their land except with their full
consent, and would pay literally for it,
the Commission hoped to be able to con-
vince them it was for the interest OF the
Indians to sell.
At the request of the Indians the
whole act was read. The council
then adjourned to give the Indians an
opportunity to discuss it's provisions with
each other.
The proceedings of the council held to-
day were uneventful. Major Warner,
of the Commission, in compliance with
the request of Swift Bear, went over the
provisions of the Act of Congress, ex-
planning the benefits which would result
from his acceptance of its terms.
the Indians were undoubtedly favorably
impressed, and asked time for considera-
tion. They said the matter was of great
importance to them and they didn't
want to be hurried. The Council ad-
burned until June 9th, when it it is ex-
pected the Indians will be prepared to
discuss the question and give their
decision,

Special to the HERALD

| Special to the HERALD
SANTA ANA, June 4.-Voting on county
division began here with the rising sun,
and the polls closed at 5. In Anaheim,
for some reason, the State law which
requires that the polls shall open at sun
rise was neglected, and voting did not
begin until or o'clock. This would
probably have occssioned something of a
contest, had not the result of the ballot
ing been overwhelmingly in one direc-
ton.
There was very little excitement of any
kind, and no disturbances worthy Of
mention. Two citizens of Santa Ana, Ed
Culver aud Charles Cronkhite, got into a
heated discussion on the street, and came
to blows, but without serious consequences
of any kind. In Santa Ana, the ballots
labeled against County Division" were
hardly to be found, and an inspection OF
the table below will show that not a
single one OF this complexion was cast, or,
if it was, it failed to get counted, which
is all the same.
The day passed very quietly. One
man with horse and rig covered with
flags, raced up and down the streets
yelling, "Orange! Orange" During
most of the afternoon, men gathered in
knots about the street corners and talked
about the general depravity of Anaheim
and the progressiveness of Santa Ana.
The orange was adopted as the badge
Of the new county. A number of men
wore orange peel or small oranges
skewered on sticks in their hats.
When the returns came into Santa
Ana q great deal of enthusiasm was
manifested over the result. The streets
we're crowded with people and were
noisy with cheering and the sound of
fire.crackers and the booming of anvils.
Later in the evening fire. works were let
off, band paraded the streets and large
crowds gathered in front of the Bruins
wick Hotel, and Representative E. E.
Edwards, the father OF the Orange
County bill, Col. 1. E. Messmore, an
Orange lawyer, and several others ad-
dressed the assembly.
The Anaheim people seem to have
met with hard luck all round. In ad-
dition to other things, large percentage
of the ballots which they dropped in
against the division were one inch too
narrow, and hence, if there had been
any contest, they would not have been
counted.
The vote by the districts was as

coming Of the terrible deluge that devastated
that fair region, Friday May 31st. by an an
known horseman who dashed down the Valley
spreading the tidings. he was amongst the
lost.
o, day of agony, day of DEATH
All Times tragedies told in BREATH
The Red Seas ire
And Sodom's fire;
The one with a sste of hellish mood,
The other like sword athirst for blood,
And both in wrath
Through the tempest's awe,
Shot down in the path
OF tried Conemaugh.
lonely horseman did ride before
That watery besom league or more,
Did swiftly ride
And loudly cried:
"Ihe wrath of the waters, flee who may;
Death cometh apace and will not stay"
Onward he dasht
Towrd the town below,
Like specter f1asht
Down wild Conemaugh.
The sound of the storm was in his ear,
And the louder sound of pillows near
His task is done
He has reused the town
Will he fly himself a watery grave2
Or dares he race with the demon waveY
The city lies
But league below,
He will ride though he dies
In wild Conemaugh.
He rode aud he died-he reach'd the bridge
And boldly had pasS'd-a thund'ring ridge
OF waters broke,
With earthquake stroke,
Der town and bridge, DER rider and horse,
And terror and darkness join'd their force
And Death rode fast
Through the tempest's ave.
Rode throu III the waste
OF wild Conemaugh.
