INDIAN FIGHTER MILES.
An Army Officer Says He is q Candidate
for the Presidency.

An Army Officer Says He is q Candidate
for the Presidency.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-Indian Bureau
officials quite generally discredit the
threatening reports that come from the
Sioux country. Acting Commissioner
Bell of the Indian Office does not believe
that the Indians contemplate hostile &C.
ton towards the whites.
The promised Messiah that they are
looking for to lead them in their destruc-
tion of the whites, has not and will not
materialize; but when they discover that
he is not likely to be forthcoming, disap-
pointment may make them troublesome.
They will then turn upon the medicine
men who have made these predictions,
and there may be difficulties that will
spread beyond tribal limits. He thinks,
however, that the precautions already
adopted in sending troops to the reser-
vations will be ample to prevent any
serious outbreak.
General Miles scary dispatches meet
with the following comment from a
prominent army officer who had in mind
what is alluded to as. General Miles
Presidential BOOM" started at a banquet
in San Francisco last summer:
"Miles is predicting general Indian
war, and virtually asks that the COM
mand of the entire army be turned over
to him. He wants to create q scare and
pose as the savior of the country. In
fact, he is almost in the attitude of q
political Messiah, such as the Indians
themselves are looking for. have nc
doubt in the world that he is honest in
his candidacy. He has shrewdly enlisted
the favor of nearly every newspaper man
in California, and has by his agreeable
manner and the expenditure of his means
managed to make himself very popular
in a certain way in the West. He is one
of the most ambitious men in the army
and he is pulling his wires shrewdly."

GUTHRIE, o. r., Nov. 22.-The Com
percial Bank of this city, which is the
largest bank, in the Territory, made an
assignment late last night for the benefit
of creditors to the Sheriff as assignee.
The proprietors have all left town.

and tackled thereon seven different no
'tices of attachment aggregating in sums
from $500 to $25, 900 to total of $780,
900. From that time attachment after
attachment was tackled on, covering the
front of the building, the doorway, the
door steps, the window castings and other
wood portions of the building.

A shout went up demanding entrance to
the bank building and a desire to see the
president, J. M. Ragsdale, who resides
near the bank. The mob designed to do

family became alarmed and took the

Bank and the Bank of Norman were oper-

of Ell Reno was operated in Ell Reno,
Canadian County, this Territory, which
is tributary to the rich farming lands
along the Canadian River, and reports
come that many farmers and cattle men
suffer greatly from the failure of the
Bank of Ell Reno. The Saltwater Bank
Was operated in Saltwater, the county
seat of Payne County, in the northern
part of this Territory, and many farmers
and ranchmen from the adjoining reser-
vations did extensive business with this
bank. The Bank of Norman was opera
ted at Norman, the county seat of Cleve-
land County, 80 miles north of here, and
the heaviest losers are the cotton dealers,
that county's principal product being
cotton. From, all of these respective
points come reports of stormy scenes.

GRAND JURY REPORT.

To the Hon. c. E. Mltchel, Judge of the Ninth Judicial Circuit; We, the Grand Jury, selected at the pre- sent term of the Nevada Circuit Court, herewith submit our report. We have carefully examined into all violations of the criminal law in Nevada county, as far as we have knowledge or information, and have returned bills in all cases where in our opinion the evidence was stuff. cient to sustain an indictment.
 We have carefully examined the books of the Clerk, Sheriff and Treasurer, and find them correctly and neatly kept. We find by the report of the Commissioners of Ac- counts, that ex-Sheriff Phillips, in his settlement to the county, is be- hind with the same in the sum of S45.00. By the evidence before us we think he ought to have credit for the same, and we so recommend.
 We find by examination that the vault of the Clerks office needs ven tillation, and we so recommend.
 The Justices have all filed their abstracts; we find some of them got ten up in bad shape and almost ileg- ible.
 We find the roads in good condi- tion as far as we know, with the ex- ception of districts l6 and F, III Missouri township; we find the roads in these two districts in bad condl- ton and the bridges broken down, caused, we are informed, by lumber wagons. We find the slough bridges on the turnpike road in bad condi- tion, and recommend the county court to look after the same. We find the slough bridge at the six mile post, on the Steel bridge road nuisance, and recommend that the County court have the same rebuilt or removed. We recommend that the County court assist in building a bridge across Brushy creek, on the Grey's ferry road. We find the bridge across Clancy creek, on the Satterwhite turnpike road, in a dan gerous condition, and has been for several months.
 We find the county without a jail, and recommend the County court to have one built as soon as the iinan- cial condition of the county will ad- init.
 Thanking the officers and Court for courtesies extended to us, we ask to be discharged.
