OF the people Notwithstanding the wave OF
discomfort which in the past fortnight has
seemed to hover over the whole of North
Dakota. The people have become practi-
cal once again and have given thought to a
common idea: that Senator Pierce has done
more and will do more for the state, if re-
turned, than any new man could ever hope
to achieve. In a nut shell, the movement
in favor of Col. Ball of this city, can be
confined to TIE narrow limits of Cass coun-
ty and one or two scattering counties
where other aspirants reside. This is a
natural result. The Red River valley
clamors for the senatorship, capital and
other important favors. 1t has ever been
thus, but to a disinterested citizen the out
come will evidently end with a strong run
in Pierce stocks. Your correspondent
looks for this tidal wave to come within a
week or 50. The senator is sleeping with
his eyes wide open. He is perfectly cog
infant of every move that is made in OppO-
sitiOn-and only smiles at the fruitless ef-
forts Of his enemies who are only strong
in mouth and not in physical force. The,
senator handicap 5 all conner with Il rec
ord which no man need feel ashamed OF. A
record which is as clear as an amethyst
and one which cannot be dulled by the
coarse rubbing it is now and has received.
Wait until the tide comes in n stand up
higher on the boat and see the heroes fall.

Neb., and r. II. Haslan, known as "POny

ride of 1O8 miles in eight hours and ten
minutes. The party was at once surround

many of whom remembered Buffalo Bill
when he vas here away back in l876-the
year of the Custer massacre. Buffalo Bill
bears an important commission from Cen

of the commission cannOt be made public
at present, but it may be surmised that
Buffalo Bill will find out all there is to
know of this Messiah humbug craze before
he returns, or know the reason why. Sit

been reading the newspapers lately he will
have learned that almost Immediately upon

A Prize Fight Ends in a General Riot
Among the Spectators.
DAYTON, Ohio, Nov. 28.-The prize fight
between Billy Gibbs of Kansas City and
Dick Moore of st. Paul this afternoon end
ed in a riot. The scene of the fight was an
open field three miles from the city. The
battle was witnessed by $50 sports. But
two rounds were fought and both were
lively. In the first. Gibbs fouled Moore
twice, but the claims of MOore's second
were ignored by the referee in Difference
to the spectators, many of whom had paid
$40 each to witness the fight and wanted
to see some smuggling. In the second round,
after a lively exchange of blows, Moore
landed one that sent Gibbs on his knees.
While Gibbs was down, Moore struck him
again and this proved a Knockout blow.
Cries of foul" rent the air. The crowd
broke over the ropes and a general melee
ensued, in which the seconds and specta-
TORS took a hand. Moore swung his right
on n Of Gibbs seconds. Pistols were
drawn, slung shots used and at first blows
were freely exchanged. 1t would have
been worth the referees life to have an
nOunced his decision, and he wisely in
formed the crowd that he would render it
at 9 o'clock tonight. His decision was
a draw.

The Champion Sioux Liar.

ST. PAUL, Nov. ga Pioneer Press
special from the Pine Ridge agency says:
This morning a conference was held, in
which the government was represented by
Special Agent Cooper and DR.. Roger. and
the state of South Dakota by DR.. McGilli-
cuddy. The Indians were represented by
Bad Yellow flair. Little Wound, Little
Bear and Broken Arm, their spokesman
being Little Wound. Little Wound is a
natural leader of men. He is a tall and
majestic looking Indian who has every
evidence of possessing an abundance of
brain and bravery. Many Of the questions
submitted to Little Wonnd were mel with
evasive answers. He often asserted dur
ing the interview that he did not want to
have wal with the whites. This interview
leads to the belief that the political ma

Little Wound was questioned by both DR..
Roger and DR.. McGillicuddy, each appar-

as to square their W political following
and relieve them from responsibility. Lit

they would have consulted him before
beginning them. Little Wound also says
he is not one of the ghost dancers, although
it is certain he is prominent in councils of
the new faith. These ghost dances, said
Little Wound, have been organized by In
dams because they have an accumulation of
grievances and used this weird means to
exhibit their d~iscontentment. The principal
cause of their trouble seems to be that there
is a large amount of Jealousy among heri-
ditary chiefs and Indians who have been
in favor with Indian agents. He also says
that his Indians have no guns OF sharp
arms. All Of this was stated by Little
Wound without the semblance of
a blush, and it is the opinion at Pine
Ridge that Little Wound Is the champion
liar of the Sioux nation. Last night mat

Buffalo Bill Called Back,
from Bismarck Tribune, 3D..

Buffalo Bill, DR.. Powell and Pony Bob,
returned to Manaan Sunday night and pro-
ceeded eastward Tuesday. Conn Malloy
the teamster who drove them down leav'
ing Bismarck Thursday Recommendations
ed to Bismarck yesterday afternoon. lie
was glad to get back. The atmosphere at
Standing. Rock is not good. The. Indians
out on Grand River where Sitting Bull
holds out are crazy over the Messiah and
Conn was told by his friends that he was
just as safe in Bismarck as he would be in
driving Buffalo Bill out to Sitting Bulls
camp. The party arrived at Standing
Rock Saturday, and Immediately started
with an interpreter for Sitting Bulls camp.
Col. Cody Buffalo Billy had a special com
ting Bull and tnrn him over to the military
authorities at Fort Yates. He was on this
mission, but. when about twenty
miles out from Standing Rock
he was met by Louis Primeau,
who told him that Sitting Bull was en-
route to the agency via the other road
about five miles distant. The party drove
over to the other road but could see nor
hear nothing Of his craftsmanship Bull. The
party camped for the night with a half
breed, while the interpreter with Buffalo
Bill was sent back to the agency to learn
If the report was true and if Sitting Bull
hal really gone into the agency. The in
terprater did not have to 60 far to learn
that the report was untrue. The party
started on Sunday morning, but had not
gone far when a special courier overlook
them with an order through Col. Drum,
post commandant at Fort Yates, from the
war department at Washington, ordering
Buffalo Bill to return at once without in
terfering with Sitting Bull. The party
turned back and came straight to Mandan.
1t is rumored that this sudden
change in the programme as made
by Gen. Miles was brought about
through the interference of the interior de-
partment through the advice Of Maj. Nc
Laughlin, agent at Standing Rock. The
future developments will be looked for
ward to with interest. 1t is evident there
is q conflict between the war and interior
departments on this Indian. question, and
1t remains to be seen which department of
the government will come out on top. 1t
is evident that Gen. Miles believes in cap
turing not only Sitting Bull but all other
leaders and disturDers and remov them
from their simple followers. He has also
moved a large number of troops in the
vicinity of the agencies with the intention
of overpoweriDg the refractory redskins
and disarming them before they have an
opportunity to commit any depredations.
While the wisdom of sending Buffalo Bill
to effect the capture Of Sitting Bull may be
questioned, his general plan will be en-.
dorsed.
