GATHERED IN TIE COURTS AND AMONG

The persons who arc In haste 10 repeal the law
providing for death by electricity as a punishment
for murder will find that there are legal difficulties in
tlue way so far a the cases Of those who arc
awaiting punishment are concerned new law could
fix thc nuushrncDt for persons who committed crimes
after the date of it, passage but the murders which
have been committed since January l, 1889, can
probably not be punished By any other form Of death
penalty other than by electricity. The Legislature
in 1850 tried 10 change the form OF punishment TO
oGcct the case of a woman then awaiting the execution
of the death sentence but The legislators only sue
coedcl in freeing her and some other muIdecrs from
any punishment. Mary IIartuns, whose case occupied

The following story is published by cor

did you ever hear how 'Suwanee River
was written?"
Don't think ever did,"
"Well, Steve Foster-Stephen c. Foster
was his full name-Was in the zenith of his
popularity when he wrote the words" said
my friend to me- "He had written the
song in the frame house on Sandusky street
in Allegheny, bnt he couldn't find the
name of river that suited him. Finally
he went over to the office of his brother,
Morrison Foster sat down on his desk, and
said: Morrison, I've got new darkey
song here, and it's complete except the
name of the river. l want Southern river
with only two or three syllables. Give me
one, wont your
Morrison suggested several, but they
didn't suit. Then he took down an atlas,
ran his eye over map Of the Southern
States for a few minutes and finally said,
Here's river in Florida by the name of
Suwanee, how will that do?"
. That's it, that's it," exclaimed the song
writer. jumping from the desk. Its just
what want and picking upa pen he in
serted the name of the river that has since

READY FOR "A FIGHT.
Signals of the Hostiles Indicate That
They Will Take the Warpath
To-Day.
The Conflict Between the Cowboys and
Indians Thought to Have In
famed the Latter.

PINE. RIDGE AGENCY, S. D., Dec. 16.-
About 9 o'clock last night great light sud
denly blazed up in the northwest IN the di-
rection OF the Bad Lands. The light faded
to sullen glow and then rapidly
spread along the sky for distance
of couple of miles. Men posted
in Indian signals in the camp said this
meant that the Indians in the Bad Lands
had determined to fight. 1t is thought that
the conflict between the Indians and the
cowboys on Battle creek yesterday, in
which three of the former We're killed, has
infamed the Indians.
The Indians in the camp of the friendlies,
on being asked what the signal meant, de-
cilned at first to talk, but being pressed
finally said it meant that their brothers
in the Bad Lands would be on
the warpath within one sun and
that ali Indians who did not join them
would be dogs and enemies forever. The
friendlies, however, disclaimed any inten-
ton of obeying the signal. The guards
here will be doubled nevertheless, and the
friendly camp kept under the closest sur
veillance. .. y
The Sixth, Seventh and Eighth cavalry
and 300 state militia are under marching Or
ueIS anu Will SCdTC IOr LQe BAD LanOS elCler
tonight or tomorrow morning. It is the
general opinion here that a fight with the
hostiles is inevitable.
# INDIANS GOING NORTH. U.s.
Raid CRY, S. D., Dec 16-A battery of
Hotchkiss guns was sent to-day from Fort
Mead to reinforce Gen. Cars command at
the mouth of Rapid creek. A number
of struggling parties of Indians have
been seen going north. They are under
command Of Short Bull and Kicking
Bear, and say they will not surrender
Short Bull is one of the worst Indians on
the reservation. 1t was he who murdered
Agent Appleton in cold blood at Pine
Ridge 1t is expected the main body Of
hostiles will attempt to follow him. Gen.
Carr has orders to intercept and disarm the
Indians at all hazards and it is expected
collision will occur tomorrow in the vicin-
ity Of the mouth of the Sprink creek or
Rapid creek.
DR.. McGillycuddy, surgeon general of the
South Dakota militia, has been ordered to
join Col. Days command at the front.
Several old Indian fighters have volun-
teered as guides and scouts A company
OF Sioux and Crow scouts from the north
are on their way to join Gen. Carr.
The Indians sent out by Gen. Brooke to
bring in the hostileS were roughly treated
and their peace pipe shot into pieces.

THE AZTECS AFFECTED.

Mexican Indians Have the Messiah Craze,
Also.
KANSAS Cry, Dec. 16-Luis Del Commun
of Cholulu, Pueblo Mex, was in the city
to-day en- route to Chicago In an
interview tonight he, said the
Aztec Indians of Mexico are
afflicted with q Messiah craze very
similar to that which is distuI bling the In
dams in the Dakotas. ALI the Aztec tribes
scattered through Mexico are he said be-
levers in the prophesied Messiah expected
to appear and free them from the foreign
corqucrers and restore them to their do
main and their pristine glory.
At Cholulu are the ruins of an old Aztec
temple. This is the Mecca Of the believers
in the Messiah and there are now encamped
about it hundreds of Aztecs, who are
engaged in performing all sorts OF
mysteriug religious rites. OF these rites OF
old human sacrifice was part, accompanied
with flower dance. The sacrifice has been
done away with and now only the dance
remains.
The Aztec prophesy is very like that
which is belseved in by the Sioux. The
Messiah will cause the volcano Popocata-
petl to erupt and oyerwhelm the country
with lava, which will destroy all but the
Aztecs.

An Immense Irrigating System.

WASHINGTON, Special Telegram. Dec. 16.
-Representatiye Hansbrough is preparing
a bill which will ask an appropriation for
a survey for an immense irrigating system
in North Dakota. The measure will pro-
pose survey from some point on the Mis-
souri, river in the neighborhood of Fort
Stevenson or Washburn, to ascertain the
feasibility of drawing the food waters of
the Missouri to the Cheyenne and James
rivers and storing them in the natural res
ervoirs. II this could be done a two-fold
advantage would be gained, as in addition
to the irrigation the floods on the lower
Missouri would be greatly reduced in vol
ume. Mr.. Hansbrough says there is nat
ural fall Of 500 feet between the Missouri
and these other streams and the surface is
such that the construction of n channel
would be comparatively easy and cheap.

A WISE CHOICE.
Troops Stationed at Dickinson to Pre-

Troops Stationed at Dickinson to Pre-
vent Indians From Going to Canada.
DICKINSON, N. D.. Special Telegram, Dec.
16.-This point has been wisely chosen with
a view to preventing any unruly Indians
from the Sioux and Cheyenne reservations
from escaping and joining friends in North
Dakota and Wyoming or across the Canada
border. Dickinson is division station of
the Northern Pacific, in immediate rele-
graphic communication with points east
and west, with plenty of engines and cars
ready to supply troops Or place them
promptly where they are most needed in
guarding the line. It is believed that more
will be sent here, and certainly no point of
the Northern Pacific is better suited to the
object in view. @.-E
No information can be obtained here to
give ground for the newspaper rumors con-
corning fight between trlendlies and hos
tiles. 1t is not believed that any bloodshed
has occurred nor is it thought likely that
Kicking Bear and Short Bull have lett the
vicinity OF their own reservations. Scout
ing parties will set out from here tomorrow
toward the Sioux reservation to ascertain
the probability OF the reports.
