ment officials were busy Tuesday re-
ceiving and answering kilograms on the
Indian situation. A feeling of gratif-
cation seemed to pervade the depart
ment over the death of Sitting Bull,

his death was very generally discussed,
but rather in the light of apprehension
for the future Maj. Gen. Schofeld, in
a short talk with a representative OF
the United Press, said that the killing
of Sitting Bull would tend to tostrengthen
the loyal Indians, but what effect it
would have on the Indians in revolt

JUDGE WOMACK.

There will be deep regret in many sec
tions at the defeat of JUDGE WoMACK at
Greensboro yesterday. Appointed about
five months ago, by the Governor, to
fill vacancy, he has borne himself in
the high Office so wortbily and SO accept
able as to win merited praise from the
press, the bar, and the people wherever
he has held court. His defeat is in no
sense due to any lack of faithful and ef
ficient performance of his duties. AS
we see it, Mr. WINSTON received more
votes because he had more friends 10 the
district who were very active for his in
terest. JUDGE WOMACK had practiced
in no county in the district except his
own while Mr.. WINSTON had practiced in
most of the counties of the district. He
will retire from the bench with the
plaudit "well DONE"
