ment for month. The strangest feat
ure about the matter is what has be-
come of the hundreds of carloads of dirt
which must have necessarily been taken
out in order to give the room which is
found there. The only possible way to
get to it with horse is to follow the
creek bed from its head, some five
miles west, at the edge of the
prairie, and then there are places which
would seem absolutely impossible by
animals, and to reach the cave with any
kind of vehicle would be- utterly i'm
possible. The only theory advanced
as to what became of the dirt which
was taken out in making this rendez-
vOus which sounds at all plausible is
that the place was built by band of
horse thieves under the notorious Con-
way in the early seventies; that several
years were consumed in digging, and
that the Loose earth was dumped into
the Indian creek, which in early days
was quite stream, and carried down
the steep decline by the water. Mem
bers of this gang of thieves evidently
joined the Younger-James outlaws in
1876, and piloted them to this grewsome
earthen rendezvous, as they could never
have found it without assistance.

A RUSH FOR LAND.
Squatters Are Patient, but Ready
to File InStantly.

WAUsAU, Wis.,, Dec. 19-The rush
for land continues. The greatest ques-
tion tonight is whether the man who
squats after midnight or the man who
files on the ground tomorrow shall
have precedence. The large lumber
firms have sent out men tonight to
squat on the land, and among them is a
son of Congressman McCOrd. Dispatches
purporting to be signed by ex-Secre-
tary Villas are shown tonight declar-
ing that the men who squat ON the
lands will get title in preference to
those VINO wait to file claims tomorrow
when the land Office opens. The
law provides that parties who
squat on the lands prior to
Dec. 90. shall lose their homestead
rights. and Villas holds that squatters
can go on the lands after midnight.
Nearly 500 men were in line at the court
house square atsundown tonight. Some
had camp outfits, some blankets and
some were standing or sitting on the
ground, provision peddlers Keeping
them supplied With something to eat or
drink. An occasional rifle leaned
against the court house building, and
reyOiverS peeped out of overcOat pock-
cts. The first $50 claims filed tomorrow
will secure all the claims to land of any
value. and the men in line know it.
+ Most of the good land is in Oneida coun
ty, and there is bound to be disappoint-
ment, and perhaps trouble in the rush.
Every train is bringing in hundreds of
men tonight, and peaceable settle
ment seems impossible. Extra police
men are patrolling the town, and the
military company has been notified to
be ready for call at s o'clock tonight.
The police made an attempt to clear the
court house yard, but the crowd resist
Ell, and several men were dubbed,
thrown down and trampled upon in the
rush.

QUEER MRS. WELDON.
A Brooklyn Lady's Intrigue With
Sitting Bull.

Special to the Globe.
BISMARCK, N. d.. Dec. 19.-In Sitting
Bulls effects were found letters and
documents of all descriptions from all
over the country. Most of them were
from people inclosing slip of paper for
his autograph, but he never responded
to these requests unless fat monetary
consideration came with the letter. His
signature always commanded dollar,
and he found ready sale for it. All he
could write was his name, and that in
painfal scrawl. There were several
communications from Mrs. Weldon, the
woman who claimed she was sent out
from Brooklyn, n. Y, by an Indian soci-
ETY.. She came to the agency about year
ago, but for creating an air of discon-
tent among some of the Indians the
authorities repeatedly ordered her off
the reservation. She finally said she
loved Sitting Bull and went to live with
him on Grand river. She was remark
ably fine-looking woman, thirty years of
age, and had pretty little son. ten
years old, with long, curly, dark hair.
Indians say the couple lived together
as man and wife, though there was no
ceremony performed. Whenever Sit
ting Bull wanted fresh partner he
selected the prettiest of his flock and
his children are scattered throughout
the Sioux nation by the score. He
thought as much of Mrs. Weldon's
young son as he did of the woman her
self, and took great delight in putting
the youngster on one of his ponies and
riding with him on his own charger in
triumph to the agency on ration day.
Mrs. Weldon took her departure
from Standing Rock two months
ago. Tears actually trickled down the
weather-beaten cheeks Of the old war
rior as he parted with her little boy.
1t was the first time he ever exhibited
any emotion. The boy had elpi-~"d .

ton.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-Dr. L. A.
Bland. of the Indian Defense associa-
ton, has received letter dated Dec. 10,
from the Indian chief, Red Cloud, at
the Pine Ridge Indian agency, s. D..
concerning various matters there. The
chief says he is the constant friend of
the whites, and all that has been said
about his preparing his people for war
is false, for they do not desire or intend
to 90 on the war path. Since his people
tthe Ogallalas) arrived at Pine Ridge,
they had agreed to stop the ghost dance,
and he says that so far as the
dance is concerned he can truly
say that he never had any
thing to do with it. Red Cloud COM
plains of the government ratiOnS being
cut down more and more every year,
and says former delinQuencieS have not
been made good. The past two seasons
were so dry that the Indians could raise
little or nothing. and the rations were
so scant they were obliged to kill their
own cattle to keep from starving to
death. In consequence of these hard
times many became sick from want of a
proper quantity of food and 217 died
from starvation since the fall of last
year. Red Cloud refers to his furnish
ing 200 of his people as soldiers and po-
lice to assist the United States govern
ment, as proof of his good will to-
wards the whites. and closes by saying
that the white settlers and the soldiers
are good friends of the Indians. and il
1t were not for the soldiers he did not
know what would become of his people.

Sensational Story Of Des-

MIssoULA, Mont. Dec. 19.-The most
notable execution which ever took place
in this section of the country occurred
this morning. when Lalaze and Pierre
Paul. Antly, and Pascale, four Indian
murderers, were hanged at the court
house here. All died game. Pierre,
Paul and Antly smilingly bade goodbye
to their friends when the cap was
drawn over their faces. Ali were cut
down twenty minutes after the trap was
sprung. Their nackS were broken. The
crimes for which these four Indians
were hanged were among the most cow
ardly and brutal of the treacherous
lends. Pascale killed a prospector
named j. M. Dunn, in the spring Of
1889, near Dernersville. Dunn was trad
Ing horses with him and when he re-
fused to trade back the Indian shot him,
taking the horse and what money he
had. Pascale hid the body in the brush,
where the bones were discovered some
months later, by another Indian to whom
Pascale admitted the crime. The
Bones Were Identified
by the remnants of clothing, and Pas
Gale was arrested. Antly's crime was
the participation in the murder of three
white prospectors, Mcdonald. Seely and
Thompson in the fall OF 1887, at Wolf
Greek, near Tobacco Plains. The pros
pectOrs were surprised at the camp fire
by party of six Kootenai Indians and
were murdered in cold blood. Two
Of tue Indians were captured soon
after and lynched by the people of

threw the bodies into Jocke river,
where they were found by half-breed

warm spot in his cruel heart. Mrs.
Weldon took the steamer Chaske to
Sioux City. When she arrived at Pierre
the boy was stricken with lockjaw. The
best medical aid was summoned, but OF
no avail. and he died. Mrs. Weldon
was grief stricken as was also Sitting
Bull Oh hearing the news, and he sought
solitude for several days. Mrs. Weldon
is well educated, refined woman, and
her actions were a mystery. She is an
able writer aud fluent conVersationalist
and streak Of mild insanity or cranky
ism are the only reasons assigned
for her strange conduct. While in
the East, after the death of her son, she
wrote a Dumber of letters TO Sitting
Bull, foretelling the terrible tragedy
enacted the other day. She warned him
to be on the alert, telling him that the
military and jealous Indians, who sided
In with the government, were seeking a
pretext TO put him forever ont of the
way. Letters from time to time were
received to this effect, beseeching him
to flee for his life. He paid but little
attention till almost the last moment,
when lie began to realize the danger
and was preparing to escape to the Bad
Lands with his family and followers,
but the Indian police surprised him and
slaughtered him without mercy. The
people believe he was murdered, and
believe he could have been arrested

RAPID CITY, S. D., Dec. 19.-Four
hundred of the Seventeenth infantry
from Fort Russell disembarked here and
at other points on the Elkhorn railway
last night, and took up their line
of march for Gen. Carr's Camp
at the junction of Rapid creek and
Cheyenne rivers. Gen. Miles has con-
centrated at that point the Eighth and
Sixth cavalry, the Seventh infantry
scouts and artillery, making a fighting
force of 1000 effective men. There is
large encampment of hostiles in what
is called the Grass Basin in the
Bad Lands. about ten miles south
east of Carr's camp, from which thiev-
ing forages have been made on the
ranches. Gen. Miles is making dispo-
sitions to guard every pass and outlet
from the camp. and has issued orders
for the cavalry to scout and intercept
Sitting BULBS followers, who are sup
posed to be en- route to join
these hostiles. Gen. Miles, present
dispositions contemplate protection of
the settlers and holding the Indians in
the basin or pocket awaiting general
movement into the Bad Lands stimuli
taneously with Gen. BrOOke's forces
and the result of the peace efforts of
the 500 friendly Indians who left Pine
Ridge to-dOy to bring in the hOstiles.
The escape of the Indians being cut off,
they must soon surrender or, like Sit
ting Bull, die fighting.

ALLEGED PENSIONS.
A Strange Case OF Fraud Devel-
Oped in Yankton.

Oped in YanktOn.
Special to the Globe.
YANKToN. s. D., Dec. 19.-Special
Examiner Godfrey, of the pension de-
partment, created sensation here to-
day by arresting Charles Loff1er, a we'll
known citizen, for prosecuting claim
ant for pension, and presenting fraud
ulent claim, and for perjury In support
of his claim. Early in 1861, George
Weisel enlisted in Company d, Fifth
regiment of the United States cavalry.
He served three years and re-enlisted
and received his veteran bounty. He
served one year of his second term and
then secured the discharge papers of
one OF his comrades, Charles Loffier,
and deserted. He is next heard from
in Iowa, where, in 1866, he married.
Subsequently he came to Dakota, in
YanktOn, twenty years ago. He has
gone by the name of Ioffler all
these twenty-five years. Some
time last spring Charles Loff1er
applied for pension, and in the regu-
lar course of events it was developed
that Charles Loffier was already pen
sloner. The case was strange and EX-
amlner Godfrey was given it to look up.
The charge is very serious one and
penitentiary offense. George Weisel
makes full confession of the whole
matter and nothing can save him from
punishment except the clemency
of the court. Charles Loffier. the
man whom George Weisel sought
to impersonate. is doorkeeper of
the White house in Washington. which
position he has filled since 1861. He was
member of Company H, Fifth Regi-
ment, U. S. A. He and Loffier were on
detail as orderlies at headquarters of the
Army of the Potomac for about two
years. Examiner Godfrey says this is
one of the most remarkable cases which
he has ever known of in his ten years.
