a TEACHERS COOPERATION.
1t appears that John M. Carignan, teacher
OF the Grand river day school, located near
Sitting Bulls house, had kept Agent Nc
Laughlin well informed Gs TO the move
ments Of Sitting Bull and his followers. At
o'clock in the morning Of Dec. Il no
went over to Bull Beads house,
and there learned that Sitting
Bull had written the agent for
permission to so to Pine Ridge. He had
received an urgent call from his friends
there to Join them, and that God was to
appear to them. Bull Head said that Sitting
Bull had made up his mind to go vito or
without the agents permission, and he asked
Mr.. Carignan to advise the authorities TO
arrest Sitting Bullat once. Upon this in
formation, which was conveyed to the
military headquarters. orders for his arrest
we're issued. Accompanying the report is e
rough sketch of the battlefield and sur

SHORT BULL WANTS PROMISES.
PINE RIDGE, S. D., Dec 22-Short Bull
came in from the Bad Lands yesterday and
had a talk with Gen. Brooke. 1t was the
same old story that there were men in his
camp who would come in providing
promises were kept and pledge given that
no one should be arrested and sent to prison.
What Gen. Brooke said is
not known, but from what was said yester-
day by Gen. Miles no government officer or
other officer can make~any promises with
the assurance that the government will car
ry them out. To bring on these Indians
under the pledges that they ask, and then
to attempt to arrest or disarm them, would
precipitate massacre at Pine Ridge.
By telegraph it is learned at Rapid City
that Col. Stanton found some of Sitting
Bulls fugitives and some Cherry Creek
Indians crossing the Bad Lands toward
Kicking Bears camp. Stanton chased
them into the Bad LANDS near White river,
opposite the mouth of Wounded Knee
creek. No soldiers we're hurt, and probably
no Indians.

Oas Trial was Enough.

"WhGn the Kansas Pacific WAS lrss opened, ("
said b. w. EeGder, a locomotive engineer,
"ths Indians were very hostile, and there was
constant fear that they would wreck the trains.
That they did not Is due to their ignorance OF

stgOviug it.
One Of NY fFemen had an experience with
the CheyenEes that he will never forget He
wac on the rogd near Fort Wallace, when he
saw that the Indians had cut the telegraph
wire. and knew that be might look out for
squalls. They wore never satisfied with sim

came near a large patch OF sundowcrs which
grew on both sides Of the track over 100 Indians
rose up, stretched strong rope across the track,
hraccd themselves and prepared 20 receive the
shock Of tho locomotive. As was aiterward
learned, they had taken rawhide strips, braided
them together, and, with a force Of 90 at
each end of the rope. thought that they would
be able 10 stop tho train. The instant the loco
motive struck the rope the ais was full Of
Indians. They were thrown in all directions.
Some were ierked clear across the train, and
more than o dozen were killed OF seriously in

A novel point was discussed on Thursday
" Can a voter register by teiephone" The
law says person must apply in person az the
Office Of the City Clerk to register and unless
he is registered he is not entitled 20 vote ia the
city election. The question hinges on whether
an application to register through the tele-
phone is legal.
On Thursday Jailer BirdsOng, who is at pres
ent kept close to business by reason ofhaving a
large number Of prisoners in the jail, rang up
the City Clerk, and asked TO DO registered.
The clerk was familiar with the jaier's voice,
aud could have sworn that the voice was that

was that the jaiier had paid his taxes. and was
