That am as busy as n bee
To thresh your grain will try,

Now don't complain about the price,

Is to write me like little man"
And in a week, if it does not rain,
III be around and thresh your grain.
Now go ahead, don't say any more,
But just sweep off the old barn floor,
Get your bags and bins in order
And have ii done up in short order.

Just send Tor me and I'll cut your fodder;
Or your woodpile, if you are lazy;

Painted Horse States That the indiana
of the Wild West Were Brutally
Treated.
New York, Nov. 10-Painted Horse
one of the Indians from the Red Cloud
Agency who were with DIR. Caryer's
show in Europe, arrived here Saturday.
To-day in the presence of General
O'Beirne he made long statement, in
which he charged both Carver and
Buffalo Bill with great cruelty toward
the Indians under their charge.
Painted Horse said he was repeatedly
tied up until he could endure no further
suffering; that he was fed upon 'stinck-
ing meat and other things wholly unfit
for food; that his money was taken from
him and when he asked its return he re-
ceived only IS.
He said the other Indians were also
shamefully treated and were frequently
fired upon with blank and ball cartridge
and badly wounded. They were per
mitted to have all the whisky they
wanted, and when under its influence
they often fought among themselves.
General O'Beirne has copy of the
agreement entered into by the Carver
Combination, in which good treatment
of the Indians is specified particularly
as one of the conditions of their engage
ment A copy Of Painted Horses state
ment will be prepared and forwarded to
the Secretary of the Interior and TO the
Indian Commissioners. According to
the latest adyices Buffalo Bills Indians
will arrive in Philadelphia next Thurs
day.

leader of one Of the most daring train
robberies of recent years. On June 9Th
a Northern Pacific train was stopped at
New Salem, N. D., by highwaymen.
Two masked men climbed upon the en-
CINE and compelled the engineer and
fireman to detach the engine from
the train and then to pull ont.
Having taken the engine about
20 rods the engineer was ordered TO
stop and the engineer and fireman We're
taken back TO the train where they were
ordered to batter down the door of the
express car. With the first attack on
the car the express clerk escaped from
It and saved the contents of the safes
since he carried with him their keys.
Having entered the car the two robbers
compelled the engineer, fireman and
postal clerk to cut open the mail pouches
and to carry the first-class registered
mail matter to the robbers horses.
About 800 packages containing $4,000
in cash were thus secured.
