STANDING Rock AGENCY, Aug. ga
final council was held Saturday after
noon with all the chiefs present except
Gall and Running Antelope. Grass made
very nice speech, in which he said that
as his friends 81 the other agencies had
broken their promise not to sign, he was
now willing 10 accept the treaty. Mad
Bear followed to the game effect.
When the signing was about TO begin
Sitting Bull, who had come with his hand
mounted on their ponies, entered the
circle and asked &c talk, This being con-
sidered too late an application he was
refused the opportunity. He replied in
anger. and when John Grass, Mad Bear,
Big Head eGd Deer Face had signed the
bill he ordered his young men to stam-
pede the crowd who had gathered around
the tables. "a rush on horseback was
made WHICH scattered the crowd right
and left, but by the prompt action of
Agent McLaughlin the attempted dis.
turhance was quelled. A strong force Of
police was soon placed in position and
several young braves were taken into
custody, after which Sitting Bull retired
to his camp, followed by his band,

a Queer Explosion,

MONTREAL, Aug. 5.-When the train
for Quebec on the Grand Trunk rail.
road had passed ST. Lamberts, after go
ing through Victoria bridge last night,
az explosion occurred in the express car
by which the messenger, named Rogers
was killed. The car was completely
wrecked and the express matter de
slroyed. Rumors are afoat that it was
an attempt to blow up the Victoria
bridge and was delayed to long. An in.
quest will be held this afternoon. The
train was on its way to Quebec, Portland
and Halifax, and consisted of seven pas
ssnger coaches, Pullman car, sleeping
car ard smoking, baggage and express
cars The train was completely filed
with passengers, among them being Gen
eral Middleton and General Superintend.
ent Stephenson, OF the Grand Trunk.
When the report of the explosion was
heard 1t almost caused panic, but this
was avoided by brakeman, who rushed
through the train to the burning car and
uncoupled it with the tender and engine
and let them dash up the road, where the
engine ran them onto a siding. No cause
can be assigned for the accident. The
express and railway people attach no i'm
portance TO the assertion that an attemEt
wss made to blow UP Victoria bridge

Frauds VIII Be Prevented.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 5.-The secretary
Of the interior today received telegram
from the governor Of Idaho, cinbodying
petition adopted by the constitutional
convention at Boise City, setting forth
the fact that private Spectators were
following up the government surveyors
who were establishing a-system Of
thorough irrigation of arid lands and
seizing upon the same for the purpose of
speculation. and asking that the govern
ment take steps at once to prevent zuch
seizures The secretary replied that pro.
vision was made by the act of October 2,
1883, which will guard against such seiz
ures Unless the law is repealed or the
president opens the lands to settlement
under the homestead law, the gsvern-
ment must have and will eventually take
absolute control OF every acre of arid
land that may be redeemed by the sys-
TEN of reservoirs, canals and bitches pro.
vided in the appropriation ACT

ABOUT THROUGH.

slorx FALLS, s. D., Aug. 3.-This after
neon when the members OF the convention
left the hall to accept the invitation OF the
Burlington road 10 spend Sunday ut Spirit
Lake, 1t was with a feeling that their work
had all but received its finishing touches.
They Will assemble ngain or Monday, but the
only work Jet to do is the formal signing OF
he constitution, which will be ready for the
signatures
ine work OF the joint commission was ac-
cepted without debate or dissent, and the
feeling here is that the South Dakota wing OF
he commission did more than couId have
been expected. Clearly they got the best OF
70 the idea that the work had been well done.
On ell sides the members CT the committee
are highly commended.
The last matter to occupy the attention Of
the siou to any extent was the matter
OF Indebtedness, ITO what extent does the
limitation of 100000 bind.n has been "a de-
hatsble question. "How can the constitution
uarne this as limit when slrcady the debt
inherited exceeds s7o0,000.n The committee
Indebtedness recommended Judge Corson's
suggestion that clause be added tc the
effect that the article be construed to mean
thai the state debt be limited to 100000 over
aud above the debt inherited from Dakota
territory. Much discussion followed AT
last Judge E5Eertou, calling Mr.. Williams
to the chair, took the dor and offered an
amend dnens that the total state debt be
limited TO 100000 over an6 above the debt
Inherited from the territory. This motion
prevailed. 1t is not clesr whether this n-
herited debt means the $4,000 Of bonds ts-
sued for various public buildings or whether
paid to North Dakota. At any rate So.ith
Dakota will be able to borrow money to meet
the extraordinary expenses incident to the
settling up OF state government

a Story with a SAD Ens.

NEBREsnA Cry, Aug. 3.-Hen'y w,
Cornell, one of the most unfortunate |
of the Oklahoma boom victims, was in
the city last night on his way back to his
old home near Cherokee, Ia. He met an
old acquaintance here in newspaper
man, and to him related bis sad story of
misfortune.
At the time the Oklahoma lands were
thrown open 10 settlement young Cornell
was lising cn rented farm near Chero-
kee with his wife ana child Like many
others he was taken with the craze
and loaded his wife and effects
into q wagon and started for the
promised land. They had gone about
| half the distance when they were over
taken with their first misfortlfue-the
| loss Of one of their horses The journey
was continued until the Cimarron river
| was reached, with its swGllen stream
Cornell was one Of number that at
tempted TO ford the river but let his
wife and child temporarily with campers
on this side as it was not considered safe
to cross in the wagon. The young man,
however attempted it and when he
reached the current was compelled 10 cut
| the horses loose from the wagon to gave
them and himself, while the wagon and
Its load went down the river. HAY
ins some money Cornell returned TO q
point in Kansas end purchased o ne"
outfit, and some time later arrived with
his family at Oklahoma. q claim was
stsked out and work at improvement was
begun, and everything went on smoothly,
for about month, when the little child
sickened aud died. Through grief and
worry Mrs Cornell health began to fail,
and on top of this their tit'e 20 the claim
was disputed, and untold trouble was
threatened from this source. Discom-
moded ard disgusted, they gold Their
claim to the land, and packing zip, stsTsed
to Gage county. Nebraska, where Mrs;
Cornell had relatives. They had not
been On the road more than
/ few days when one of their
horses Stumbled into 8 wolf hole
OH the prairie and broke leg making il
necessary to kill the animsl. The rest OF
the rest OF the outfit was then sold and
on foot and part way by rail they finally
reached their friends OF Blue Springs.
Nch. After few weeks there the wift
died and after laying her to rest MIR.
Connell made his way to some acquaint
arces near Peru, in Nemaha county,
where he has been working on farm
until yesterday. He left this morning TO
his home in Iowa, to start life over again.
, He looks twenty years older than he did
few months ago, and his hair has turned
quite gray from the effects Of his troubles
