A SIOUX SURPRISE PARTY
An Indian Who Was so Scared
That His Heart Stops Beating.

An Indian Who Was so Scared
That His Heart Stops Beating.
New York Sun.
A good many writers have asserted
that an Indian is born stole, and that
the reason he doesn't laugh or cry or
express astonishment lies in the fact
that Nature did not intend him to.
That's all nonsense. however. The
Indian puts it all on for effect. Pve
heard him laugh as hearty as any white
man, aud I've seen them when they
were positively thunderstruck with
amaZement.
In 1866 the hostiles got to attacking
one of the stage routes into JuleSburg
and, after they had killed a dozen peO-
pie, Il part of my company was sent out
to give the red man a setback. We rode
over section of the route one day and,
toward evening, secreted ourselves in
q long, dry ravine TO see what would
happen during the night. The stage
was due there about 10 O'Clock aud soon
after 9 we got a surprise. A band ut
twenty-three Indians came III from the
west, struck the trail just above us
and came down and laid themselves
away almost on top of US.
We had our horses down around a
bend, with guards TO look after them.
and the Indians had left their ponies at
some other point. We were back in the
dark, where they could not see us,
while they were at the mouth OF the ra-
vine and every man of them showed
against the starlight sky. We knew
what they were after. and we prepared
ourselves accordingly. The were twen-
ty eigkt of us, and we crept up inch by
inch until. when we finally heard the
rattle of the stage coach, we were not
over twenty five feet from the bunch of
marauders. We could hear and see
them making ready, and, just as they
were about to dash out on the trail, we
gave them vOlley.
Talk about an Indian not feeling sur
priSedl Why, they yelled out like so
many old women scared by a COW. and
two or three of them shouted to the
Great Spirit to save them as they ran.
We killed nine and wounded four with
that one volley. and only one of the
wounded lived feyond two days. The
survivor was a middle-aged warrior,
bearing the sears of many battles. l
was asked to question him, and as he
saw my purpose he shut himself up
like a clam. started off with:
HAS my brother a glass in which to
see his face?"
"Why should have?" he queried, in
terested at once.
"TO see that your hair has turned as
white as the snow"
mo! 1t can't be! Get me glass,
QUicki"
At that the group around him burst
out laughing. and the warrior looked up
with rueful expression and said:
Il thought it was true. l was so
scared that my heart stopped beatingH

20 It's true height. "He never touched
the girl. did that myself"
M. Violin recoiled with Mortified cry.
"rhe girl fell in love with the Due
against my wishes. | knew him long
before he came to Brussels. He was
my friend before / let your golden net
enmesh me. The letter addressed to
'Volante' was intended for me. 1t was
so written to deceive you. The girl her
self. as have said, fell In love with the
Due; her pretty face was doing its
work, and, when she refused to desist
at my ehtreaty, left her in the state
you found her, with the prints OF my
fingers OH her throat"
No wonder the awful confession of
the jealous woman left NJ. Violin stand
passed him with look he never forgot,
and when the door had closed behind
her he reeled away with dizzy brain.
The following day wound up the story
of guilty love and cold-1looded murder.
The police found tnat the DUO de
MOrny had decaInped, and in the placid
water of the bassin du barques boat
man found the corpse of the most beau
tiful woman i'm Brussels-the wife OF
the hunchbacked millionaire.
AS if this fatal liaison mad not had
victims enough, little man took sword
lessons of the best master-at-arms i'm
Belgium, and six months later he met
and killed, in the shadow of the Rock of
Gibraltar, the handsome and infamous
Due de MOrnY, who, true to re instinct
of his baser passion. had j st led astray
the wife of an English officer
OF course the victor in TIE duel was
M. Violin. of Brussels, and when he re-
turned he told his detective that he had
found and finished his "Claude" of the
fatal perfumed note, which in reality
had cost three persons their lives.

EVENTS OF THE WEEK.

The past week has been remarkably
quiet among working people, at least it
looks that way on the surface. With
the exception of the eight-hour con-
venti0n held last Sunday there has
been no meeting of general interest. In
the K. Of l. assemblies the closed meet
ings show a larger attendance than
usual. This is probably due to the fact
that the election of officers occurs at the
last meeting in December; also the cleo
ton of delegates to the district eight
hour league, trade and labor assembly
and hall board. The quarterly reports
to the district and q. A. are also sent
this week: so that between the act
nal business of the assemblies and
preparation for the holidays not much
attention will be given to outside work
during the next few weeks.
L. A. 1898 held its weekly meeting last
Wednesday evening and elected officers
for the ensuing six months. Messrs.
CasSerly and White were appointed q
committee on open meeting. The regu-
lar monthly open meeting should occur
on the first Wednesday in January, but,
as that is New Years day. will be post
pOned until the second Wednesday of
the month. The same committee are
also empowered to select subject for
debate.
The ladies' protective association
met last Friday evening at labor head
quarters and elected officers for the first
half OF the year 1890. Reports from the
various shops stated that nearly all will
shut down for at least the coming two
weeks and for the next three months
fewer hands will be employed.
A large audience gathered to hear DR..
S. q. Smiths lecture on "Early Clos
ing" last Sunday evening. Several
hundred clerks were present, and many
of their employers. While presenting
no very original arguments, yet DR..
Smith dealt with the question in man
ner which showed that he had investi-
gated the subject from the employers
standpoint as we'll as from that of the
clerks, and his verdict was emphaticalIy
In favor of early closing for every even
ing in the week. The clerks were much
pleased with the lecture, and think it
has aided their cause.
j. P. McGaughey desires to state to
the members of L.. A. 1881, that he was
unavoldably absent from their open
meeting of Dec. IL, as his house was
Quarantined on account of a supposed
case of diphtheria; but he will be at the
disposal of the assembly at any date
they may fix after the holidays.

X. of L.. nj Politics.

Labor Editor Globe.
l see by the Friday mornings GLOBE
the news of the probable arrest of Gen
eral Master Workman Powderly on a
warrant sworn out by Hon. Edward
Callaghan. charging the general master
workman with conspiracy. During the
last fall campaign those who were IN
tereSted in labor matters from 4 pOlitI-
cal standpoint will remember the gem
eral master wOrkman's indignation at
the conductor General Secretary-TreaS-
urer Litchman in leaving his official
connection with the X. of l.. TO accept
employment by the Republican ma
tIonal campaign committee. Bro. Pow
derby then, as many times before, de-
clared that the K. of l.. was not politi-
cal organization, and his condemnation
of Litchman was from that standpoint.
Litehman, in his answer TO the gem
eral master workman, asks him If 1t is
not more consistent To openly affiliate
with political movements than to put up
jobs in secret to secure the defeat of
political aspirantS. and by such means
Overawe politicians to carry out the K.
OF l.. measures"
Now, it is not my intention to either
critleise Bro. Powderly or Il o. Litch-
man, but my education as Knight of
Labor has always been that in all mat
tiers of the political kind l was my own
agent, and the purpose of the Knights
of Labor was purely educational. If,
however. as the general master work
man states in his Scranton interview,
he appointed the committee. and there
is any truth in Litchman's insinuati0ns,
it would appear that the Knights of La
Dor had two different policies, one for
the members and one for the general
master workman. Consequently, | am
not at all surprised at the lengthy APP
peals being sent out by General Secre-
tary HAYS to urge upon the remaining
members the necessity for active work.
But for Minnesota think they will an
swer these appeals by active work for
the fundamental principles as they un-
derstand them, ami not in centralized
organization which has one law for
members and one for general officers.
Yours fraternally, ZoR.

MINNEAPOLIS COMMENT.

The resolutions recently passed by
the Social Science club. in regard to the
proper protection of railway crossings,
has caused considerable comment, and
a praiseworthy desire is manifested by
some people to know who the officers of
the club are, how many members it
numbers and how high on the roll of re-
spectability it may be placed. Such
people evidently don't know the re-
corded history of the Social Science
club. These questions have been asked
before and emphasized by reward of
$50 to any person giving the desired in
formation. MOdesty has always been
shining virtue with the club. 1t does
not care to win fame for its
individual members. 1t is content
to aid IN correcting abuses where yer
seen and ask no more reward than that
which follows from doing right. That
the recent warning of social science was
needed is shown by the fact that, the
next day after the publication of the
resolutions. Riverside Car No. 127, run
by Conductor No. 252, narrowly escaped
being smashed into splinters by pass
ing engine on the Fourth avenue nor h
crossing. As it was, the escape Was
narrow enough to make the passenge
avoid that car line for several da! S

The reception committee for the Ar.
nual Building association dance mt xt

dies, wives of the directors and other

not viewed with unmixed feelings of
satisfaction by the young and foolish
virgins who are in the habit of adjoining
themselves with pretty badges and see
ing their names on the programme in
pretty gold letters. But for a. that the
only girl who has announced her inten-
ton for stay ing away fol that reason, Is
she who has received noinvitation from
the festive young man "desiring the
honor and pleasure of her company,
ETC." 1t is likely that the usual large
crowd will put in appearance.

very steadiness caught her husbands
eye.
"My Godi" thought he. "The de-
stroyer of Paris has done his work in
my preserves. Shall strangle the witch
now as he strangled Volante, Or"
He stopped suddenly, for his wife had
emerged from the boudoir and was COM
ing toward him. There was not the
sign of color in her face. Her hands
were clenched, the fair nails buried in
the white palms, and her eyes had a
look that actually made his blood run
cold.

Unusual Equine Death.

Miss Mary Garrett, of Baltimore, Nd.
the millionaire spinster, has lost valu-
able blo0ded horse under unusual cir
cumstances. The gelding was pure
white, and was a favUrite with his
owner. He was by Adrock. and his
granddam was the celebrated white
Arabian mare which William Mcdonald
imported, and which was afterward the
property of John W.Garrett. The skel-
etOn of the Arabian mare is mounted,
and is now at Druid Hall Park. The
gelding had been sick short time with
SpaSms. The doctors discovered that
there was no chance to save the animal.
and came to the conclusion it had an
abscesS, or tumOr, on the brain. Miss
Garrett gave the animal 10 Johns Hop
kinS university professors for the bene
fit of science. The professors killed the
horse by using hypoderm. injections.
The autopsy which was held by the pro-
fessOrs revealed tumOr on both sides of
the brain. The one in the right lobe
was pronounced the largest ever found.
and surgeons are surprised that horse
could live under such circumstances.
