was continuous travel of people
from one end of the line to the other.
The day was pleasant and Salem's

more toward the advancement of

A SERIOUS HAPPENING.
An Old Dilapidated Wooden Awning
Falls on irving CIaggett with Al
most Fatal Results.

An Old DiIapidated Wooden Awning
Falls on irving CIaggett with Al
most Fatal Results.
Sunday afternoon about three
o'clock, the city was thrown into a
fever Of excitement over one Of the
most serious and probably fatal ac-
cidents that has occurred in the city
of Salem for years before.
For some time it has been realized
that the numerous old wooden
awnings throughout the city, were
in a dangerous condition. About
eighteen months ago this matter
came up before the city council and
at the time it met with lively dis
cussion. Heretofore an ordinance
had been in force ordering the re-
noval of all wooden awnings in
side the fire limits but as a number
Of new awnings had just been erect
ed at that time the ordinance was
fought until it read thereafter no
person shall erect, etc, etc" Yes
terday was sample of what the
change Of that ordinance has caused
and will cause until they are all re-
moved.
ON the east side of Commercial
street, between State and Ferry
streets is simply erected a lot of
death-dealing traps. These are not
the only ones in the city by dozen
others or more. They should all be
removed without parley or discus
sion. In course of time the result
will be as yesterdays accident or
probably more fatal.

RED MEN RAMPANT.
Standing Rock Sioux Oppose the
Treaty TO a Man.

Treaty to a Man.
Special to the Globe.
STANDING Rock, OAK, July 26.-It IS
evident that the commissioners, who
are now at Standing Rock, realize that
thev have met the chief opposition to
the treaty for the opening of the Sioux
reservation. The Indians are all at the
agency, and the chiefs have thus far
had little to say. Last night the Indians
held a council, remaining IN session
nearly all night, and true to the pledges
they have made at numerous previous
meetings. they swore they would not
sign the treaty. Speeches were made
by Gall. John Grass, Mad Bear. and
other prominent chiefs. During his re-
marks, Gall said:
We must be true to ourselves. We have
been our own enemies IN the past by signing
away our lands. Once we were many, ana
our tribes could go and come as they pleased,
but the white man came and got some OF our
land. Then he told US we would not be
troubled more. But again he came and
asked ms for more OF our land and we gave It
him. The last time he deceived US and took
our Black Hills that are full OF gold. He
promised us many horses that we never re-
ceived. We have been fools. and must not
be so longer. Now the great father sends
out more big takers to get our lands. but we
must not forget the past.
A few of the Indians are said to favor
the treaty, but they are being held in
line against it by the threats OF the
great majority who are opposed. John
Grass said during his speech at the
council meeting:
The Indians of the Standing Rock agency
are all here. (There were about 5000 IN the
circleJ, and want you all 10 near what say.
You have selected five Of US to speak for
YOU to the commissioners. Now you have
told US before that you are all opposed to
signing, but want you all to speak again to-
night. II we all vote not to sign, and do not
Lie, we can keep our lands. If any Of Us do

flights of hurdles, and was the prettiest

got away promptly with Nettie Wat

Philip S third. Fosteral, having made a
refusal at the first hurdle, was at last
induced to take it under protest, and
came struggling along fifteen lengths
behind the leaders. Philip S, with
Woods up, jumped as wild as a two

jump, and clearing it by two
feet more space than was neces-
Sary. Nettie Watkins. ridden by
Cochran, got excited and hit

Just enough of a rise to clear the OBJ
stacle and saving his power for the run
