"Perhaps not" said Mrs Hart as she
began to put on her bonnet and cloak.
She was. perhaps. the poorest person of
refinement and education in the town
and the most benevolent. She was a
widow, whose only dover were a boy of
IL and a girl of o years. BY sewing al
most night and day she managed to keep
the wolf out of sight.
Accompanied by Robby she went over
to Hunts to see the hermit, and at once
knew that he was sick unto death. AS
the sled which WAS to transport him to
Johnstown drew UP at the door Mrs.
Hart touched the arm of Judge Russell,
who seemed TO be clothed with more
authority Just then than any of the other
"prominent citizens who lowered about,
and said:
IL will take care of Weaver if you will
send him to my house. He is n very sick
man. already greatly exhausted by his
journey down the mountain. The drive
to Johnstown might kill him."
'Really, Mrs. Hart, you're always DO
ing too much for others. Young DIR.
Clay was in here n bit ago. and he said
the old fellow ouGhtn't to be moved SO
far. But you'd better think twice before
you take him. He'll be an awful
charge"
Il know that" she answered.; "but /
will take him and do the best l can for
him." So the hermit was put upon the
sled and delivered at Mr.. Harris like
bale of merchandise. The widows un-
seltishness kindled temporary flame Of
the same nature in other breasts, and for
the moment volunteer help was plenty.
She took advantage of some of this to get
her patient bathed and barbered and put
to bed in n comfortable. Christian way.
Then began for her weeks of care,
work and anxiety. The sewing machine
was silent. with the unpleasant conse.
quence of low finances. Contributions to
the comfort of the sick man fell away as
time passed and the affair became an
old story. Young DR.. Clay alone re-
manned faithful. The donations of others
had dwindsed down to advice. All in all
Mrs. Hart had "a hard pull of It,"
At last the hermit became GONZALES
cent. Finding himself in home where
refinement and kindness prevailed, he
fell into the WAYS of its inmates as nat
urally as if he had been accustomed to
civilization all his life. He talked Geni-
ally and charmingly, and seemed pos
sessed of as much information as any
man of the world. Clad in his right
mind and conventional clothes, he lost
his character of hermit entirely. Many
of the signs of age. too, had disappeared
under the good Offices OF the tailor and
the barber. lie did not look day over Is.
He was quite we'll now, but he showed
no disposition to return to his semi-sav-
age life, 50 far as any one outside of Mrs.
Harris home knew.

BEGINNING OF THE END,
The Army Officers Think the Indian War
Will Soon BE Over.


CHICAGO, Dec. 16.-Nothing but some
details of the fight at Sitting Bulls
camp were received at army headuuar-
ters in this city, regarding the Indian
situation, today. These details are
given elsewhere.
Speaking of the death OF Sitting Bull
Adjutant General Corbin said to an As
socated Press reporter, that it was most
probably the beginning of the end of
the trouble. He said that as Sitting
Bull was dead, the Indians who had
great faith in him as medicine man,
would come into the agency within the
next two or three days, when they hear
OF his death. Ii they do not, General
Brooke has things in shape to make
short work of them. They are penned
up in the Badlands, where nobody lives,
and where they can do no damage.
IF the Indians should insist On fight.
ing" added Colonel Corbin, sit will last
only a few days. There are very few
ranches in the vicinity of the Bad lands,
so twill be impossible for the hostiles to
make raids"
General Miles has left St. Paul and
will be at Standing Rock tomorrow. No
more outbreaks are looked for by the
officers, except perhaps fighting with
the remnant of Sitting Bulls band.
During the week the commanding Off
GERS at the different agencies will be in
structed to ask the surrender of all hos
tile Indians. Sitting Bull was able to
keep the young bucks excited with the
Messiah craze, but now that he is dead,
Colonel Corbin believes hostilities will
soon stop.

MONDAYS BATTLE.
The First Authentic Report OF the Fight
at Sitting Bulls Camp.


ST. PAUL, Dec. 17-2 a. m.-The Pio-
neer-Press has just received from Stand
ing Rock agency, by courier to Bis
marck, the first authentic account of
Yesterdays battle that has been re-
ceived. The facts regarding the trip of
the police and the soldiers have already
been given. The police were in camp
over night near Sitting Bulbs camp, and
in the morning, under command OF Bull
Head, Lieutenant, ,and Shave Head, first
sergeant, went in and made the arres t.
Sitting Bull expressed his willingness to
go withthem, but said he wanted to get
ready first.
The two leaders went with him into
his tent after he had ordered his horse
to be gotten ready. While the old chief
was getting ready, two bucks, wrapped
in blankets. entered the tepee, and
throwing off their blankets, opened fire
on the police. Sitting Bulls wife set
up howl outside, which seems to have
been the signal for an assault. In. the
fight which followed, Red Tomahawk
killed Sitting Bull. Many OF Sitting
Bulls followers we're killed. and Bull
Head and Shave Head were desperately
wounded, and will undoubtedly die.
The police were now surrounded, but
the military arrived, and after an honr
and half OF hot skirmishing the In
dians took to flight and disappeared in
the timber. Four of the police were
killed, and two mortally wounded.
Seven hostiles were killed, at least

Military Control of the Telegraph Makes

little word was obtainable from Stand

clad non-intercourse rule of the military

All the newspapers are cut off from anv

The mail-driver from Winona this even

this afternoon. The bodies of two of
the slain in Yesterdays engagement,
making fifteen in all, were brought to
the post today, and viewed by a large
crowd. Two troops of cav airy from Fort
Lincoln, with three days rations, start
ed for the crossing of the government
trail over the Cannon Ball river, about
fifty-five miles south OF here, and estab-
lished camp there. A number of
teamsters and wagons were sent from

SITTING BULLS DEATH.
An Account of His Capture and the
Ensuing Battle.

Ensuing Battle.
ST. PAUL, Dec. 16.-Today's advices
from Standing Rock are to the effect
that the arrest of Sitting Bull was de-
cided upon by Agent Mclaughlin when
he heard Sunday that the willy old chief
and his followers were about to set out
for the Bad Lands. Once there it would
be a long time, and there would be
much hard fighting, before any of the
hostiles could be taken or starved out.
Therefore orders were given to the
police, and they set out Sunday night,
the troops following. BY early morning
the police had reached. the camp. The
cavalry were three miles in the rear
and the infantry much further. On reach
ing the camp the police found the campers
almost ready to move. Sitting Bull was
seized, placed under arrest, but not
bound, and the police quietly started
for the agency. But the followers OF
the old man soon got over their surprise
and a sharp fire was at once opened on
the police. The police responded in
kind, and several fell from their horses,
among the number Sitting Bull and his
son, Blackbird.
BRAVERY OF THE POLICE.
The old medicine man had tried to di-
rect matters for time by loudly
shouted orders, but his fall upset the
hostiles. They at once rallied, however,
and surrounded the police, who fought
bravely and well. but would soon have
been overpowered had not the cavalry,
who had been sent for, arrived on
the scene. The police were at the time
almost out of ammunition, and were
lighting hand to hand, but the sight of
the soldiers and the roar OF the machine
guns, alarmed the hostiles, and they fled
up Grand river. The cavalry followed
tor but short distance, and then re-
turned to the camp and took possession
Of the bodies of Sitting Bull and his son.
Four policemen were killed and three
wounded, and it is thought altogether
eight OF the hostiles were killed. Crow
Foot, the twelve-year-old son of Sitting
Bull, and a number of Others were
wounded.
THE FLIGHT OF BULLS FOLLOWERS.
Sitting PulPs followers, when they
fed up Grand River, left behind them
all their tents and families, which will
be turned over to the agency. After
going short distance up the river, the
fleeing redskins scattered and went off
in all directions through the country
toward the Bad Lands. Some of them
may try to reach the Indians of Two
Strikes band, further south, while
others will seek to escape to the north.
However. there is little chance for them
in any direction. Soldiers are located
all around the Bad Lands, and the In
dians will have little chance to get the
few ranchers that are located in that
district, even if they attempt to 60 on
small raids, as the soldiers are 80 placed
as to head them off.
THE EFFECT OF BULLS DEATH.
The effect OF the death of Sitting Bull
is problematical. He was not chief in
the sense of being leader in battle, and
never had been addressed as chief, but
he was willy, ambitious old rascal with

Seattle for Larceny.
SEATTLE, Dec. l6.-Charles r. Ham
mond, who became notorious through
his connection with the Cleveland-street
scandal in London, was on trial today
on charge of grand larceny for stealing
sealskin sack and gold watch from a
woman who was drinking in his saloon
here. Less than year ago J. r. Tod
hunter attempted to get Hammond
into British territory, there be-
ing a large reward offered Tor
him in England, but he failed.
In September, last, Todhunter engaged
himself as a barkeeper for Hammond,
and during this time, it is said, he
worked up the present case against him,
and that it is case of malicious prose-
cution. On the stand, today, Hammond
admitted living at No. l9, Cleveland
street, London, but refused to state his
business. He stated that a large sum
OF money had been offered him to give
information exposing members of the
English nobility, but he will never dis
close the secret.
