This is briefly the story of how Sit
ting Bull was killed. About daybreak,
Monday, the 18th inst, the police went
to Sitting Bulls camp and surrounded
the house. A detail was SEN into the
house, where Sitting Bull was sleeping
on the floor, the remainder staying on
the outside. They aroused him and
announced their purpose, at the same
time raising him to a citing position.
He at first seemed inclined to offer no
resistance and they allowed him to
dress. During this time he changed
his mind and they took him torcibly
from the house. By this time the
police were surrounded by Sitting
Bulls followers, members of the ghost
dance and the first shot was fired by
Catch.the. Bear, n of the hostiles, and
the lieutenant OF police, Bull Head, was
struck. The fighting then became gen.
eral-in fact, IL was a hand.to- hand
fight. Sitting Bull was killed, shot
through the body and head i'm the early
part of the fight, by Bull Head and
Red Tomahawk, each of whom shot at
him.

Where persons are disposed to cen
sure Sheriff Hornbeck, OF Cooper

repeatedly declared by the grand jury
to be unreliable insufficient and unsafe.

Enclosed in an iron cage, all composed
of soft metal, easily cut and really not

The cells are small. dark, have neither
light mol ventilation except What Is
admitted through a heavily grated
door, which is some distance from
ailher. The sheriff has the poorest
means for keeping his prisoner, who is
IN accomplished burglar and a desper-
ate man, and if he is at last compelled to
chain his prisoner like an enraged wild
beast his anxiety and grave responsible

is an honest man, trying, under adverse
circumstances, to do his duty, and the
facts in the case should at least be
known where there is a disposition too
harshly to censure him.

Senator Aldrich of the senate finance
committee was notified by Speaker
Reed last Monday that the house com
mittee on rules would report no reso.
luton that would interfere with the
passage of a free coinage bill il one
came from the senate. The signif .
canoe of this lies In the fact that it is q
notice in advance that the speaker will
not arbitrarily kill off a free coinage
bill, as he did last session. The repub.
lican managers in the senate now find
the whole question In their hands tor
determination, with their party badly
demoralized. Speaker Reed says that
he is still against free coinage, but he
will not farther ALLEVIATE his many
western friends, TO whom he owes his
election as speaker, by placing obsta.
cles in the way of legislation in which
they arc now particularly Interested
II now appears that with the whole
responsibility placed on the republicans
III the senate, there will be no silver

THE CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS HOME

The enterprise, public spirit aud per-
severance of the people of Higginsville
have been rewarded in tue matter OF
the confederate soldiers home. III
another part of this issue will be found
All accOun of the selection by thu
council of administration of the society
of the proposition extended by Hig-
ginsville, and the location OF the home
on the Grove Young farm. The com
mittee, composed of good business men,
whose whole purpose was to do the
best that was practicable for the old
soldiers, examined the various sites
offered, and concluded, with the means
they would probably have, that the
| HiggInsvile offer was the most desira-
BILE. They admired Linwood Lawn,
bu, did not feel justified in investing so
much money In a house.
No matter what selection would bes'
have pleased any citizen of Lafayette
| county ten days ago. the choice OF al
now should be the choice of the com
mittee, and IT should be the pride OF
every man and woman who lives
within its borders to contribute some
thing to this worthy cause.
1t is a real, bona file attempt, by
intelligent, honorable gentlemen, nc
c~essful, practical, business men to care
for such confederate soldiers, their
widows and orphans, as may be unable
to properly care for themselves. 1t is
to be neither a hospital nor an aims
house, but a home. No man or woman.
no matter how proud, who is from any
cause in need of such protection, should
hesitate to seek Its portals. Those who
cannot labor will be cared Tor in a cen
trail house. Those who can. will have
adequate tasks;those who have families
will have small cottages, a few acres, a
COW, a pig, their W vine and fig tree,
assigned them. So far as possible il
will be made self supporting.
There need be no fear OF imposition
by the unworthy. The strictest scrutiny
will be exercised as TO that.
Several of the southern states have
such homes and they work admirably
They are blessings of inestimable value
There will be from three to five
hundred inmates, 1t Is thought. TIC
maintain these will require All adequate
endowment. AS Lafayette county has
been honored with the home let us set
TO il that its people do as much toward
this end as any county in the state,
With this object IN view we advise
immediate organization. Every benev'
olent association, every church, every
pleasure society in the county should
make at least one effort to raise money
tor this good cause. 1t don't matter
" neither you are democrats or republi'
cans, whether you wore the blue or the
gray-Mr. Grove Young was a union
soldier, and he is doing at least as Muci
as any one man. The beneficiaries oil
this movement cannot be pensiOned by
the government, yet they were gallant
soldiers who barred their breasts TO
bullets anu to storms for q principle
which they believed in. They were
men; they are needy; let each and
everyone of us do something to soothe
their declining days.
