NIGHT RIDERS.
White Cappers in Southern In
diana Kept Busy
Making 1t Uncomfortable for
Worthless Characters.

Knights of the Switch ''Dress Down" Sew
eral Men of Unsavory Reputation for
"Offenses Against Their Families and
General Cussedness. "-Others Warned
to Be Very Careful.
NEW ALBANY, Ind, Dec. 17.-The
winter weather of the past Two weeks
seems favorable for the operations of
the White Caps of southern Indiana,
judging from the manner in which they
are getting in their work in Harrison,
Crawford and Dubois counties.
On the night of the 18th, the little
town of Mentor, Dubois county, on the
Louisville, Evansville and st. Louis
railroad, fifty miles west of this city,
was the scene of their operations.
There is in that town a saloon of un-
savory reputation among the better
class of citizens, and Samuel Brown,
aged q years, and single, and John
Beard, aged 26 years, with wife and
two children, have been devoting their
entire time of late to the effort of drink
ing up all the liquor in. this saloon, re-
fusing to make any provision for the
support of those dependent on them.
Both had received warnings" from
the White Caps, but paid no attention
to these notices, rather boastipg that
they could clean out q regiment of
those Whip Ups, as they termed the
knights Of the switch At quarter be-
fore 12 o'clock on the night of the 18th,
as Brown and Beard were enjoying
their cups at saloon, the White Caps
suddenly pounced down upon them
They took both men from the saloon to
the woods near by, and tying them to
trees gave them a whipping with
switches that drew the blood at every
lick. Brown and Beard pleaded for
mercy as the licl1s rained down upon
their bare backs, but in vain. The
night riders knew no mercy for such
fellows. Both were fairly flayed, and it
will be some time before they will be
able to be out. Both promised to re-
form.
A few nights before this visit two
other men, named Darwin and Jones,
were taken from their homes, near the
Crawford and Dubois county lines, and
dressed down, as the White Caps ex-
press it, for "offenses against their fami-
lies and general cussedness.
Notices" have been left with
others who are under the ban
for worthlessness, drunkenness and
failure to provide for their fami-
lies. and other whippings are likely
to occur.

defeat he lost prestige. In 1869 and
1870 he devoted himself principally to
the slaughter of the Crows, the Man
dams, the Rees, the Shoshones and all
other tribes friendly to the whites,
varying this work by an occasional at
tack on the Missouri river forts. In
1874 he drove the Crows from their
agency and reservation, and made war
on all peaceable Indians. He spent the
summer of 1875 in attacks on the Crow
agency and on Montana settlers.
In 1875 Sitting Bull again took up
arms against the whites and friendly
Indians. In June of that year he de-
feated and massacred, on the Little Big
Horn, nearly all of Gen. Clusters adj
vance party of Gen. Terrys column
which was sent against them. He was
pursued by Gen Terry, but with part
of his band he escaped into British ter
rit0ry
In 1880, through the mediation of Do
minion officials, he surrended on the
promise of pardon, and was taken to
Standing Rock agency, where most of
the remaining wears of his life were
passed. He found that his influence
among the Sioux was almost entirely
gone, but he was able on several occa-
sions to induce them to refuse to relin-
quish Indian lands His hatred of the
whites and his desire to regain his lost
power led him into several conspiracies,
but these were quickly discovered by
the authorities, who on several occasions
placed him under restraint.
In the late troubles with the Indians
Sitting Bull while not openly engaged
in making mischief, undoubtedly did all
he could secretly to increase the discon-
tent among red men, and nothing that
would tend to quiet them.

SITTING BULLS BLOODY CAREER
OF All His Crimes the Custer Massacre
Was the Worst.

OF All His Grimes the Custer Massacre
Was the Worst.
Sitting Bull (Tatonka Otanka), who for
many years was the cruel and willy
leader of the outlaw Sioux, was born in
Dakota in 1881, near old Fort George,
and was the son of Jumping Bull.
When he was IA years old he killed an
enemy, and his name was changed
from The Sacred Stand to Sitting Bull.
Sitting Bulls followers were outlaws
from all the Sioux bands, and with few
exceptions never entered into treaty re-
lations with the government. He was
not recognized as chief by such leaders
as Red Cloud. Spotted Tail and Young
Man Afraid of His Horses. until about
1868, and prior to that time he was
often in open conflict with them. With
their recognition his supremacy over
the Sioux was assured. Sitting Bul be-
gan to figure as a bad chief during the
civil war.
After the Spirit lake massacre in Iowa
and the great Sioux massacre in Mime

them into the Big Horn country. He
then followed them to the Yellowstone
and established Fort Buford Upon
this post and on the steamboats, and inn
migrants to Montana the Indians kept
mp an unceasing war often keeping the
garrison at Fort Buford in state of
siege for weeks at a time. An attempt
was made to treat with them in 1855,
but, after accepting the presents and Sc
curing some ammunition, Sitting Bull
broke mp the council and the commis-
sioners escaped to the fort across the

RUBE BURROWS SLAYER
Badly Wounded-Will Sue for His Share
of the Reward offered.


MOBILE, Ala, Dec. III. d. Carter,
who acquired celebrity by killing Rube
Burrows, in Linden. Ala, after the out
law had escaped from jail, and who was
himself badly wounded by the outlaw,
is in this city. The wounds Carter re-
ceived in the affair have ever since
caused him trouble and have lately be-
come quite serious, and he comes to
Mobile for medical treatment. Carter
says the stories that he claims all the
reward offered for the capture Of Bur-
rows are not true. He thinks the re-
wards should be paid, and that sll who
aided in Burrows capture are entitled
to a share. He believes that the re-
wards offered by the express company
will be paid. As to the other rewards,
he thinks he is entitled to an equitable
share He has placed his claims in the
hands of an attorney, who will press
for settlement.
