Deputy Postmaster Riley skips Out With
s,-s,-- $4,000

MARYsvILLE, May 25th.-Ex-Postmaster
Farrell declines to give any information as
to the amount of the populations by his
late Deputy, Thomas Riley, who is said to
be on his way to Australia with portion
of his booty. 1t is learned, however, that
the Postoffice order business showed a de-
ficiency OF S702, which Farrell made good
to the Department. but the other accounts
of the office are still unsettled, and it may
be several months yet before Farrell will
be released from all liability. 1t has come
to light that Riley borrowed postage-stamps
at Gridley, Yuba City, Red Bluff and Co.
lusa, and perhaps, also, other places. 1t is
believed that Farrell twice before was
obliged to make good the deficiencies
caused by Riley's thefts and Farrelrs loss
through misplaced confidence will proba-
bly, not fall short of a total of $1,000.

Pleased Indians.

CHAMBERLAIN (Dak.), May 25th.-The
Indians on the Lower Brule and Crow
Creek Agencies were considerably pleased
TO learn that the Sioux Commissioners were
soon coming, and that their agencies would
be visited first. To commence the work at
the Lower Brule is undoubtedly a good
move on the part of the Commission. as all
the Indians at Crow Creek and along the
Lower Brule would sign with very little
urging, and their doing so will have good
effect on those at the other agencies, who
are opposed to anything the whites pro-
pose.
