well, in sorrow for our common loss, and in

ices of the deceased, and will direct

placed at half-mast on the day of his
funeral, and also that officers of the

corner of Richland and First South
street, unaccompanied, she was sud-
denly grasDed from behind by a tall

after terrific struggle, she freed her.

street screaming for help, while the
kisser departed in an opposite direction.
Several gentlemen whose lady friends
had been assaulted on previous even
ings. got track of the fellow and fol-
lowed him into the Washington house,
on South Illinois street. The police
were notified and they went imme-
diately to his room in the hotel to cap

Reed, commonly known over the
frontier as ''Buckskin JOe," famous
scout among the Sioux for forty-fve
years, was shown the medallion, and
said he remembered Mackenzie. He
said he last saw Mackenzie thirty-fve
years ago, when he started out with a
party consisting of his wife and four
men and several Indians to go through
to Fort Benton from old Fort George,
twelve miles down the river. The party
never arrived at Benton, and no trace
of them was ever found. Reed thinks
this find is the remains of Mackenzie
and his little band, as the Sioux were

Old Tecump's Tribute to the Dead
Soldier.

NEW YORK. March 21.-A reporter
was the first to convey the news of the
sudden death of Gen. George Crook to
Gen. William L. Sherman. The hale
old veteran was pacidly enjoying his
inevitable cigar, but his hand shook as
he removed to express his deep concern
and regret at the death of his old COM
rade in arms. George Crook was al
ways man on whom we could depend"
said he. ''He was the most successful
man in dealing with the Indians that
the United States ever had in its serv-
ice. The Indians respected and trusted
him, and he could bring them around or
make them amenable to reason where
every one else failed. During the Re-
bellion Gen. Crook had charge of the
Second cavalry division, stationed in
Northern Alabama, and did excellent
work. During my fifteen years as COM
mander-in-chief of the army, | had
ample opportunity to find out Crooks
good traits, and never found him any
thing but man who could be depended
on in every emergency. The war de-
partment will, of course, take the fun
eral arrangements in hand, and | sup
pose his wife will have the remains in
tered in Cumberland. Northern Mary
land, her native place."

one occasion in Mr.. Crooks parlOr
the general. illustrating his method of
dealing with the Indians, spoke of the
transfer of some $4,000 Indians from one
reservation to another. and how he
tried to teach them to try and help
themselves by agricultural employ

year following to be able to give them
a contract to furnish 1900 bushels of
beans, for which these same Indians
had put In the lowest bid, and
he saw they got the money too.
One of the generals letters to Mr..
Crook was in reference to his ancestry.
He wrote: 81 recollect distinctly fam
lily legend that our great ancestors
fought in the battle of the Boyne, and
that afterwards one of them went to
London, and the other came over with
Lord Baltimore and founded our FAM

Annapolis will bear witness to the
fact. "And l distinctly recol-

which shows that Harry Crook served
as private in the state regiment; JO-
Seph Crook in the Second regiment,
and Martin Crook in the Fifth regi-

The Revolutionary War.
Martin died In the service. Gen.
Crook, shortly after the close of the war,
married Mary DAILY, the daughter of
John DAILY, of Oakland, Md, and pro-
prietor of the Glades hotel at that place.
Mrs. Crook survives. They never had

Of his kentucky campaign Mr..
Crook said that Gen. Crook himself
told him how he had found the Ken

deliberately picking off the officers in
the Union army, who had been accus-
toned to wear too much shoulder strap,
and how he fought through the cam

Yates uniform and no shoulder straps.
Other officers followed the generals ex-

CINCINNATI, March 21.-The news OF
the death of Maj. Gen. George Crook
was received here with profound sorrow
by his many army friends. His home
was In Ohio, near Dayton, and he was
appointed to command an Ohio regi-
ment in the war. His military service
brought him into close relations with
many Ohio men, among whom were eX-
President Hayes, Gen. j. u. Cox and
many others. 1t was only last year that
he united with the Ohio commandery of
the military order of the Loyal Legion,
and its members expected to elect him
their senior vice commander at the
coming election. The commandery
deeply feels his loss from its numbers,
and will doubtless be represented at
his funeral. His merits as an officer
and his modesty have made him uni
vprSal faVOrite.

in California in 1S52-61. He was in the
Rouge river expedition in 1856, and
commanded the Pitt river expedition in
1857. In the latter he was wounded by
an arrow. He had risen to captaincy
at the beginning of tie civil war, and
was assigned to the East and became
colonel of the Thirty-fourth Ohio in
fantTy. In 1862 he was wounded at
LewiSburg, w. Va. For his services at
Antietam he was brevetted lieutenant
colonel, u. S. A. He was actively en-
gagged in several campaigns during the
war, and took part in Sheridan'S Shen-
andOah campaign, receiving the brevets
OF brigadier general and major general
U. S. A, March 13, 1865. He was
mustered out of the volunteer service
Jan. Is. 1866. July 2S he was commits
stoned lieutenant colonel Twenty-third
infantry, U. S. A., and assigned to the
district of Boise City, Idaho, and re-
manned until 1872 actively engaged in
Indian campaigns. In 1872 he was as
signed to the Arizona district, where he
Quelled serious Indian disturbances.
In 1875 he was sent to Wyoming, where,
at Powder river, he defeated the
Unruly Sioux and Cheyennes.
He continued his campaign in the
Northwest with relentless vIgor until,
in May, 1877, all of the hostile tribes
had yielded. In 1882 Gen. Crook re-
turned to Arizona, where he forced
squatters to vacate the Indian lands. In
the following year. when the Chirica-
huaS went on raid. he pursued them
and made 400 prisoners. During the
two years following no depredatiOns
occurred, but in the spring of
1886 the Indians under Geronimo again
went on the warpath. Gen. Crook pur-
sued them and forced their surrender
clined to ratify his action, and Gen.
Sheridan telegraphed him that the only
condition that could be made with
Geronimo's band was that their lives
would be spared. In the meantime
Geronimo and some of his men escaped.
and Gen. Sheridan having criticised his
campaign severely, Geg. Crook asked to
be relieved from the command of the de-
partment of Arizona. He was relieved,
and Gen. Miles was sent to take his
place. Shortly after Geronimo and his
band surrendered, and were taken to
Florida, where they now are. For
nearly four years there has been bitter
controversy over the surrender, Gen.
Crooks friends claiming that Gen. Miles
had brought about the climax Of what
could not have been accomplished with
out Gen. Crooks antecendept work.
This controversy has gained in bitter
ness recently by the discussion of bill,
which has passed the senate and is now
pending in the house committee, pro-
viding for the removal of Geronimo and
his people to Fort Sill, Indian territory.
Gen. Crook favored the removal and
Gen. Miles opposed it. When relieved
of the command of the department OF
Arizona, Gen. Crook was sent to Omaha
in command of the department of the
Platte. In 1858, on the retirement of
Gen. Terry, he was made major gen
eral and sent to Chicago in command of
the division of the Missouri.
