Arrest OF a Forger.

GREENFIELD, Mass, June 23.-The
police here are gleatly mad and not a
A,tle indignant over the remarkable &C
ion Of a strange PiAkcr,on detective,
who made himself KNOWN, swoopeddown
on a stranger who has been stopping here
some days, and arrested him on a charge
of forgery Lately committed in Iowa.
The local authorities were not in the
least consulted, and before they had re.
covered sufficiently from their astonish-
ment to interfere, the detective had ball.
dozed his prisoner into humble submits
sion and worked him out of the state
without the Formally of consulting
Massachusetts, or her laws.
SO quietly was the whole affair trans
acted that only the briefest intimation Of
the circumstances leading to the arrest
can be obtained. Last Friday a young
man registered at the Elm house as W..
ii. Wilson, OF Boston. He hsd a com
panion with him, both pretending to be
engaged in selling goods of some kind,
but they didn't put any effort into the
business. They pretended to be without
friends, and yet when occasion demanded
had plenty Of money. Saturday another
stranger arrived and registered IS j. G.
Burkes, from Sioux City, la. He
soon found a way to convey the
impression TO the young men that
he was a crook" and thoroughly
wrmed himself into their coni-
dence by going fishing with them and
supplying them plentifully with liquors
After he had started their tongues in
good shape, he suddenly disclosed him
self as a Pinkerton detective, showed bis
badge and charged young Wilson with
having committed forgery in Sioux City
or vicinity TO a large amount. Wilson
seemed to be the principal enc in the
affair, for his companion was allowed 10
make good his escape, which he promptly
did. The only statement made by the
detective when he made the arrest was:
well I've had 10 hunt you over half
the United States" Attempts were made
to stop the detective, but he got over the
state line before he could be headed off

The Sioux Won't Sign:

PINE RIDGE, S. D, June 27.-The
commissioners have concluded to leave
here for Lower Brle agency as soon as
their special car il returned from Mo.
1rGrs, where it went 20 take Go 1ernor
Foster to Santee agency. The commits
sioners feel that they have done all in
their power, and the few signatures now
being obtained do not justify them to re-
main longer. 1t has been hoped to break
the strong combination of Indians against
the bill, but this nov seems impossible.
1t is well known that a secret and power
full influence has been exercised upon
these Indians, and while surmises can be
given, it is impossible to get the facts, al
though much patience and diplomacy
has been used. General Crook frankly
admits this to be one of the most unsatis-
factory cases in his Indian experience.
Red Cloud, on his return from Washing
ton, called a secret council and had the
Indians pledge themselves in the most SOL
IN manner to work against the bill. After
listening TO his talk he also wanted to leave
Sl2, 600 Of the $2S, 900 he is TO receive
for his ponies, with DR.. Bland, of the
council fire, as his share in helping to get
the bill through and pay for his efforts to
defeat this land bill and 81, 600 to an at
torney. The remaining $l4, 900 he wished
to pay w. j. Pollock to become attorney
for all the Sioux and wanted two cour-
iers to be sent at once to the different
agencies to obtain the signatures of the
head men to this effect, but his band OBJ
Jected to this on the ground that the
other Indians had not lost their ponies
and the money was theirs and il had
nothing 10 DO with the land.
Up to the present time 500 have signed,
about fifty over one-half Of the three
fourths needed. II is freely admitted
that nine.tenths OF the $50 Indians absent
with Buffalo Bill and other shows would
sign in favor Of the bill. Major Warner
had a long private talk in the agent office
yesterday, but il was an unsatisfactory
one. The willy old chief was very pleas
ant in conversation, but would make no
promises and gave only indefinite an.
swers to anything concerning the bill.

A Jealous Eiend.

LONDON, June 29.-Early this morning
an actor named Seidenann arrived as Os-
terode, in Hanover, on he night express
from Treves and drove direct from the
station to the lodgings of the well known
tenor, Hans Gessner. He rushed up two
flights Of stairs, burst into the room
where Gessner was still in a deep sleep
and without a moments warning shot
him dead. He then blew out his own
brains. The cause of the rash act was
undoubtedly Jealousy. Both men were
in love with the same woman, an actress
of some note, and the lady's Partially
for the tenor drove Seidemann to desper-
alton.

Two New Indictments.

CHICAGO, June 27.-It is reported that
the grand jury has prepared two fresh in
dictments to be presented in court shortly.
The names are suppressed. John F.
Beggs, senior guardian Of camp &c
is locked up 1t the armory. No one, not
ever the police, are allowed to see him.
Captain Bartram even denies that Beggsi is
confined there at all. Officer Hiatt this
morning took a new witness before the
the grand jury. He would allow no one
to see him and refused to give any hint
as to his prisoners identity, 1t was evil
dent the man was a prisoner. The story
that someone has "squealed" is now
pretty generally believed and wholesale
arrests are looked for at any time.
